Hello Interactors, This week, four strange bird encounters landed in my lap — three in real life, one on my screen. First, a crow tore through the bushes in our yard chasing a frantic nuthatch. Moments later, I spotted two more crows feasting on roadkill just outside our house. Then, while walking with my wife, we watched four ducks in hot pursuit of another, flapping furiously down the street — some kind of aerial turf war. And finally, scrolling through my feed, I stumbled on a paper describing a Cooper's Hawk hacking the city's traffic system to hunt smarter. After all that, I tried seeing cities as a bird might. So I wrote as one.HISS, HUM, HUNTI first sense the city as vibration. Before sun rays even breech the branches, a hiss of car tires emerge; street lamps click off; somewhere a garage door rumbles open. Each resonance strikes the hollow chambers of my bones like sonar. It's a sketch of distance, density, and direction. This all makes perfect sense to me even though I am just a kid. A juvenile Cooper's Hawk — Accipiter cooperii — yet the human-made maze below me is as legible to me as the nest I left barely two winters ago. What follows, in human words, is a recount of one day's hunt. I hope to demonstrate what humans regard as intelligence, innovation, and enterprise exists in a single act of predation.DANCING WITH DATA AT DAWNPerched on a gray mast of the Main and Prospect traffic light, I begin to render the scene. My basemap is no pixel grid glowing on some screen across town; it is a topological organ in my scull. Topology matters when a lamppost sits one maneuver away from the porch roof, which is one glide away from the dumpster rim. My so-called ‘bird brain' calculates dynamic flows of probability. One flip of a traffic light, a garbage truck rolls by, and that gust of wind changes direction. My internal map pulses between “larger” when prey likelihood rises and “smaller” when likelihood falls.As I gaze out above the east-west avenue, a slipstream peels off the 7AM wave of commuters. I spot a sparrow in a vortex that spirals from the garbage truck's wake at 07∶13. That acoustic shadow beneath that florist's van is one place I could pass unseen. But is a sparrow worth it?What I am doing — unknown even to myself — is what spatial scientists call real‑time kernel‑density estimation. At any point on a simple 2D path I can plop a small mathematical bump — a kernel. I can then reason about the density mapped below me by stacking up every bump's contribution at a particular spot. That once scatter of points on a map morphs into a smooth curve that shows where meaningful observations truly cluster. I continuously weight a landscape of pigeons, cyclists, and idling SUVs by situational context rather than simple Euclidean distance.Complexity geographer David O'Sullivan calls this kind of adaptive map a narrative model — a story the system tells itself so it can keep acting. My mental basemap obeys what is adjacent to what on this map. After all, a three‑meter hedge is more impenetrable than thirty meters of empty air; therefore straight‑line distances can lie and deceive. When humans try to simplify distances by saying, ‘as the crow flies', they have no idea what they're leaving out.BRAKES BUILD BARRICADESAt 07∶26 a stainless‑steel button is pressed; I hear the relay's metallic click 3.2 seconds before the little white pedestrian blinks alive. I am perched here because I anticipated this poke by pedestrians on their morning commute. Vehicles will now queue as these bi-peds spill into the cross walk. The stacked metal boxes of steel, rubber, and plastic will form a barricade forty meters long…potentially.Brake‑lights align into a pulsing crimson corridor whose half‑life I have calculated and averaged across nineteen previous dawns. Humans call the coming congestion a nuisance, but I call it camouflage. For twenty‑two seconds the asphalt canyon's turbulence drops below an acceptable range. I can now hover as if among cedars.A scientist has been watching from the opposite curb. They will soon begin recording this trick in their field book as so: a hawk anticipates the signal pattern and times its dives to the red‑phase distribution of brake lights.Because most queues are short, but occasionally very long, I have to be careful to time this properly. If I dive for prey based on the overall mean of the lineup, I will arrive while half the cars were still rolling to a stop — dangerous. So instead, I consider just the top-10% longest lines. Scientists marvel that I learned this algorithm in a single winter. I marvel that they need calculators to compute it.ZEBRA STRIPE SLALOM STRIKEI drop. The scent of hot rubber folds swirls with the cedar‑resin on my breast feathers as the warm air fills my plumage. The slowing bumper of a school bus becomes a landing spot — a moving parapet. Fresh into the dive, the thermoplastic zebra stripes flash white‑white‑white like a stroboscopic speedometer. None of this was made for me, yet every dimension matters for my survival. The curb‑to‑planter setback of 0.9 meters sets my glide angle; the bollard spacing — installed last year to calm e‑scooters — creates a slalom that funnels starlings toward an ornamental plum in a front lawn.Urban design handbooks invoke words like livability and placemaking, as if these geometries were some kind of neutral toolkit. But for me, in the instant before impact, this curb‑to‑planter setback, this bollard slalom, adjudicates more than legal fiction — it means life and death.Urban forms may look passive, yet every angle, radius, and dwell time means someone has won and someone has lost — wide curb radii speed cars through a right-turn but lengthen the crossing exposure for a toddler. Urban geometry is power cast in concrete; it never clocks off, and is both political and ecological: a three‑second refuge for a starling is a three‑second targeting solution for me.FORCE AND FEATHERS FACES FEEDBACKImpact. Feathers erupt like dark gray confetti. The starling crumbles under thirty‑four newtons of closing force — about the weight of a brick slammed into its ribcage. While I mantle the prize, a more philosophical bird might wonder: Who authored this death? Was it my neuromuscular burst alone? Or the person whose fingertip initiated a forty‑second cascade of stopped traffic? Or the traffic engineer who — chasing level‑of‑service targets — extended the red phase by six seconds last fiscal year?Philosophy of science warns against naïve linear causation; urban events rarely run in neat A → B lines. Herbert Simon, writing on complex systems, described cities and organisms as “nearly decomposable hierarchies,” where slow, macro‑scale layers — like signal‑cycle regulations, curb geometries, and commuter habits — set the boundary conditions within which rapid micro‑events unfold. My talon snap and a starling's dodge happen inside those higher‑order constraints, even as countless such micro‑acts, in aggregate, keep the larger structure of life humming along.My strike, therefore, is a city‑scale phenomenon folded into tendon and keratin — street grids, signal cycles, and global supply chains compressed into one ballistic gesture. In the metallic tang of blood this mystery unfolds. I taste data: adipose fat tissue infused with fryer grease, feather sheaths dusted in brake dust, hormone ratios ticking through molt stage like seasonal code. Each swallow becomes a lab assessment — an unwitting biopsy of the urban food web — revealing how corn subsidies, restaurant waste, and airborne microplastics percolate up the trophic ladder. To devour a single starling is to audit the metabolic ledger of the Anthropocene, one protein strand at a time.All of which reminds me that agency, mine, yours, the starling, is relational: the prey's demise is over‑determined by a network whose nodes include asphalt viscosity — how a petrochemical blend modulates surface friction, drainage, and midday heat plumes — and municipal bond ratings that decide whether this intersection receives fresh pavement or another crosswalk. Chemistry, finance, and instinct co‑author every kill I make, and every step you take.FIBERS, FOSSILS, AND FIRMWARE REFRESHDusk now drapes the mast in violet. Streetlamps flicker on; LED headlight arrays begin tinting the roadway cyan. Beneath the darkening asphalt, copper once meant for a clicking telegraphs now pipes broadband; beneath that, bricks baked when canals were high‑tech cradle those cables like red‑clay fossils. Media archaeologist Shannon Mattern argues that cities have always computed — tallying grain on cuneiform tablets, ringing bell‑tower hours to synchronize labor, routing mail through pneumatic tubes — only the substrates keep shifting, from clay and bronze to fiber optics and silicon. And trust me, nature was doing math long before humans claimed to invent it.From my perch, epochs overlay transparently: timber palisades, horse drawn carriage tracks, fiber conduits. My hunting tactic is merely firmware patch v.2025 in a 5,000‑year old operating system. Your protocol tomorrow may be Li‑Fi pulses from a smart pole — a future where streetlamps won't just illuminate, they'll whisper streams of data in rapid-fire flashes — or the hiss of an autonomous shuttle that brakes at frequencies human reflexes never reach.And you'll be impressed with yourself. Meanwhile, I listen, map, and adjust — in my world here, survival goes to whoever learns faster, not whoever hits harder. Every fresh tactic buys a heartbeat of advantage, yet it also tightens the ratchet: the prey adapts, signals change, habits shift. Humans follow the same spiral — each smarter signal controller, each app‑driven reroute, plugs one gap while opening two more, slipping us all a step deeper into the city's endless, restless loop.OF DASHBOARDS AND DAGGER-WINGSHumans may obsess over their dashboards and digital twins, yet a hawk that weighs less than a laptop already runs a live cognitive twin of the urban systems you built. Your impressed with monthly model updates while my model is updated at wingbeat resolution. If Homo sapiens hope to build a resilient future they might start where I perch: by listening for weak signals, mapping contingencies as well as coordinates, and recognizing that every curb, click, and feather participates in these nested conversations of forces.The next time you press that crosswalk button and that electromechanical relay inside the signal‑control box snaps the circuit closed, ask not only whether it is safe to cross but what other intelligences have read that clue before you.Meet us in the hush of those red taillights — inhabit that brief, engine‑silent interstitial where the white pedestrian man shines — then test what flickers in your own peripheral “bird brain”. Listen for the thin rustle of variables you once called noise; trace how a single press of that button ripples through nerves, budgets, buildings and beaks. Hold the silence long enough to notice how even I, a vicious dagger‑winged stalker, leave scraps for ground‑feeders and vacate a block after one clean kill so others may eat. If you can rest in that hush without lunging for your phone or some manically measured meaningless metric, you may begin to practice reciprocity — paring appetite to need, letting leftovers seed the next cycle — while stalking your own assumptions with the same taloned precision I bring to feather and flesh.

Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explore the difference between type one and type two muscle fibers—why they matter, how they function, and how to train them effectively. They discuss why neglecting type two fibers can lead to rapid muscle loss and how simple strength exercises can make a huge difference in keeping you strong, mobile, and functional for life. Join us to hear ways a sedentary lifestyle weakens type two muscle fibers and how small changes in your workouts can have a huge impact on your long-term health. What are type one and type two muscle fibers, and why does it matter? Dr. Fisher explains that type one fibers are built for endurance, while type two fibers generate explosive power—think marathon runners versus sprinters or powerlifters. Dr. Fisher dives deeper into why we shouldn't think of our bodies as purely type one or type two. While genetics play a role, the way we train determines how these fibers develop and function over time. The Size Principle explains how our bodies recruit muscle fibers based on demand. If we only perform light movements, we activate type one fibers, but if we never lift heavy, we neglect type two—leading to faster muscle decline as we age. Amy asks whether someone could go decades only recruiting type one fibers. Dr. Fisher says this is a common issue, especially for sedentary individuals like office workers who don't challenge their muscles regularly. According to Amy, the problem with neglecting type two muscle fibers is that they're the ones that decline the fastest with age. If we spend our 30s, 40s, and beyond avoiding high-effort exercise, we'll lose strength rapidly, making everyday tasks harder over time. Amy points out that as we age, our exercise approach has to evolve. What worked in our 20s might not be enough to maintain type two muscle fibers in our 40s, 50s, and beyond. So how do we train type two fibers? Dr. Fisher emphasizes that you don't need to lift extremely heavy weights. The key is engaging in strength training with sufficient intensity to activate those fibers. Having a personal trainer overseeing your workouts can go a long way in ensuring you're training with sufficient enough intensity. For Amy, the difference between recruiting type one and type two fibers comes down to duration and intensity. For older adults who haven't exercised in years, strength training is a game-changer. Dr. Fisher explains that if the choice is between walking for 20 minutes or strength training for 10 minutes, the latter offers significantly more benefits for health and longevity. Resistance is your ally—when applied safely and at the right intensity, it triggers type two muscle fibers and helps us maintain strength as we age. Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that maintaining muscle is about more than just fitness—it's about preserving independence and quality of life. Dr. Fisher introduces the concept of concentric and eccentric muscle actions, explaining how both play a role in muscle development. The eccentric phase—where the muscle lengthens under tension—may be particularly effective for type two fiber recruitment. He highlights the benefits of exerbotic devices, like those used in The Exercise Coach, which provide more resistance during the eccentric phase. Amy talks about the future of fitness, and how embracing resistance training—especially with innovative tools—will be key to staying strong and functional for life.

It's an afternoon in late April along the Clark Fork River near Missoula, Montana, USA. The song of the tall dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum) isn't obvious, like the red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) that are singing in the aspen grove on the other side of the river, or the European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) that are nesting in the cavities of the cottonwoods. But the dogbane has a song, too, a song it sings with the wind. I can hear it this afternoon as last year's dead stalks whisper and rustle in the breeze…This month's story is all about tall dogbane, what makes this plant special to me, and (more broadly) how plants can help us. In this podcast, we follow a dogbane patch along Missoula, Montana's Clark Fork River from spring into summer. As usual, we hear a variety of natural sounds that I recorded for the story, including wind, rain, and insects in the dogbane patch, plus red-winged blackbirds, European starlings, yellow warblers (Setophaga petechia), Wilson's warblers (Cardellina pusilla), and western wood-pewees (Contopus sordidulus). In this episode, I make mention of a video by Sarah Corrigan of Roots School about gathering dogbane fibers. You can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5vPyRWGvDs.As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

Do you want to optimize your detoxification and improve gut motility? The answer may lie in rotating dietary fibers. It's not just about the type or amount of fiber, but the diversity and rotation of fibers that can truly revolutionize your gut health. Rotating fibers every few days can create a diverse gut microbiome as well as help your detox. In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich delves into the vital role of phytonutrients and fiber in promoting detoxification and gut health. She emphasizes the significance of incorporating a diverse range of colorful foods and rotating dietary fibers to optimize gut motility and support the body's detoxification processes. She advocates for the rotational approach to fiber intake, recommending the inclusion of about 50 unique foods within a week to promote diversity and enhance immune health. Listen now and start adding fibers to your diet today! Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/feelfreakingamazing/ Summary Dr. Minich discusses the relationship between phytonutrients and detoxification, highlighting the role of fiber in preventing the absorption of toxicants into the body and binding to toxins, estrogen, and liver metabolites. Dr. Minich stresses the importance of adequate hydration alongside fiber consumption and categorizes fibers into broom fibers, which promote gut motility, and mop fibers, which aid in toxin binding and gut microbiome health. Phytonutrients in Colorful Foods Phytonutrients play a vital role in supporting the body's detoxification mechanisms. By consuming a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, you can harness the power of diverse phytonutrients to enhance your overall health and aid in detox processes. Incorporating colorful foods can help you optimize your detox and improve your gut health. Fiber and Detox Fiber is a key player in supporting detoxification processes within the body. It acts as a binding agent for heavy metals, estrogen, and liver metabolites, facilitating their elimination from the body. Just as a broom, it sweeps away toxins and waste products, preventing their absorption into the bloodstream. Implementing a Rotation Diet A rotation diet involves regularly changing up your food choices to promote dietary diversity and avoid developing sensitivities to specific foods. Dr. Minich recommends rotating fiber sources every three to four days and aiming to include around 50 unique foods within a week. This approach helps prevent gut microbiome imbalances and ensures that the body receives a wide array of nutrients for optimal health and detoxification.

This year, my goal is to shop more intentionally. A major theme of this is to begin purchasing clothing made of natural materials, and slowly phase out the synthetic clothing in my closet. Natural materials wear better, they look better, they last longer, and are an overall better ROI on your clothing spend. However, it can feel like a daunting task to navigate shopping for natural materials in a world where everything is made of plastic. In this episode, Michela shares why natural materials are better, what materials to look for, where to focus your purchases on, and her favorite brands. Everything is linked on LTK!

In this episode, we explore the intricate role of the vagus nerve as a central regulator within the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis, examining its neuroanatomical structure, signaling mechanisms, and interactions with microbial metabolites and immune pathways. We discuss how vagal afferent fibers relay sensory input from the gut to the brain, including signals mediated by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gut-derived hormones, and how efferent fibers modulate gut motility, intestinal barrier integrity, and inflammation through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Finally, we explore vagal dysfunction as well as associated conditions and symptoms, and we touch on just a few potential root causes. Topics: 1. Introduction Focus on the vagus nerve's role in the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Bidirectional communication between the brain and microbiota. Overview of communication pathways: neural (e.g., vagus nerve), endocrine (e.g., HPA axis), immune (e.g., cytokines), and metabolic (e.g., SCFAs). 2. Overview of the Nervous System The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord - control centers for the body. The peripheral nervous system extends beyond the CNS The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. 3. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and Subdivisions Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) Enteric Nervous System (ENS) 4. The Vagus Nerve and Role in the PNS Principal component of the parasympathetic nervous system. Governs "rest-and-digest" activities Contains both afferent (80%) and efferent (20%) fibers. 5. Vagus Nerve Anatomy Fibers originate at the base of the skull and extend into the gut wall. Fibers distributed throughout the mucosa, submucosa, and beyond. Interact indirectly with gut luminal contents via specialized gut cells, including EECs and immune cells. 6. Interaction with Intestinal Cells Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) release gut hormones in response to microbial metabolites. SCFAs, such as butyrate, activate free fatty acid receptors on EECs, stimulating vagal afferents. Immune cells within the gut wall modulate vagal signals during inflammatory responses. 7. Review of Functions Sensory input (afferent fibers): Detects gut-derived signals like microbial metabolites and mechanical stretch. Motor output (efferent fibers): Regulates gut motility, secretion, immune responses, and more. 8. Impact of a Diverse Microbiome on Vagal Activity Enhanced SCFA production boosts vagal activity. SCFAs improve gut barrier integrity, reduce systemic inflammation, and assist in regulating stress responses. 9. Examples: Intestinal Barrier Function Releases acetylcholine (ACh) to modulate inflammatory pathways. Helps enhance tight junction protein expression, preserving gut barrier integrity. Helps prevent the translocation of microbial endotoxins like LPS into systemic circulation. 10. Dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve Reduced vagal tone disrupts gut homeostasis. Conditions such as IBS, IBD, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, depression, and POTS. Chronic stress, infections, and dysbiosis are common contributors. 11. Root Causes 12. Tying Back to the HPA Axis Low vagal tone is associated with increased HPA axis activity. Highlighting the interplay between the gut, brain, and stress response systems. 13. Conclusion Identifying potential root causes. Contributing lifestyle factors.

A ghost named Jide makes a return back to the pod for this episode! We start by playing some new music from him & Lewis coming to the conclusion that he might be aging out of newer acts. The guys talk about maintaining a low haircut which leads to a discussion about hair enhancements that barbers have started using lately. From there, Jide gives us a little insight into his abrupt absence & so much more. ENJOY!
De aardappel heeft de laatste jaren een slechte reputatie gekregen en wordt vaak gezien als een dikmaker. Volgens afweerspecialist Paul de Vos (https://umcgresearch.org/w/p-de-vos) (UMCG) is dat onterecht, vooral als je de aardappel op de juiste manier bereidt en eet. Uit jarenlang fundamenteel wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar zetmeel in aardappels is een eenvoudige maar effectieve toepassing voortgekomen die je gezondheid kan ondersteunen. Normaal gesproken wordt het zetmeel in aardappels in je lichaam omgezet in simpele suikers die snel worden opgenomen en energie leveren. Maar als je een gekookte aardappel eerst laat afkoelen en daarna een nacht in de koelkast zet, verandert het zetmeel. Er ontstaan dan kristallen met ‘resistent zetmeel'. Dit zetmeel wordt niet direct opgenomen in je dunne darm, maar bereikt de dikke darm, waar het dient als voedsel voor gezonde darmbacteriën. De bacteriën zetten dit resistente zetmeel om in korte vetzuren die je afweersysteem versterken en mogelijk zelfs je mentale gezondheid kunnen verbeteren. Omdat het afkoelen van de aardappel de suikers omzet in vezels, neemt je lichaam minder calorieën op. Dit kan, gecombineerd met voldoende beweging, helpen bij gewichtsverlies. In het FIBERS-project onderzoekt hoogleraar immuno-endocrinologie Paul de Vos van het UMCG samen met Avebe en CarbExplore Research de effecten van resistent zetmeel en hoe we dit kunnen toevoegen aan voedingsmiddelen om zo onze gezondheid te bevorderen.

Celebrating the 50th episode today, so a big thank you to all of my listeners who have stuck with me throughout this journey as Fully Nourished is seeking to continually improve how we view female physiology on the planes of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual.We are continuing our hormone series today, and we are going to take a deeper dive into plant foods, phytoestrogens, and functional fibers. I'm noticing another pendulum swing where people are beginning to over-demonize plants. There are nuanced examples where women are demonstrating benefits from cutting plants out of their diets, and my fear is that it will become the new fad diet that will push people back into the Carnivore diet, which we've already discussed, isn't ideal, especially for the female physiology. It is critical that we learn to live within the rhythm of our bodies and understand that the spectrum of what our bodies need will shift with the seasons. Instead of approaching our nourishment from a state of fight or flight, we need to sit with our bodies, rest, listen, and pay attention to truly give our bodies what they need. In this episode, we really dive deep into nourishment and the roles that phytoestrogens play in this process. There's so much more to the story than what you see on social media and in all the crazes that demonize seeds, seed oils, and soybeans. I can't wait to share it with you and I know you're going to love this episode. Tune in today! In this episode:[00:46] Welcome to Episode 50 of The Fully Nourished Podcast![02:43] We continue our hormone series today where we talk more about plant foods, phytoestrogens, and functional fibers.[10:28] The three components that the human body needs to gain from our foods. [16:24] Pay attention to the rhythm of your body to provide you with the nourishment you need in a specific season. [23:44] The difference between symptom suppression and true healing.[26:10] The taboo of phytoestrogens.[31:28] The breakdown of phytoestrogens in common foods and the role they play in the body. [33:56] Is there a link between estrogen and androgeny?[41:11] You have my permission to stop being afraid of any specific food group as long as it supports your nourishment.[43:30] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast today!Links and Resources:Submit Questions Here: https://airtable.com/appoicByQy3UFoSXs/shrXwD7wQFJQr68NnSign Up for Sunday Tea Here: https://jessica-ash-wellness.ck.page/04f86a550fDiscount Codes from Our Sponsors:Subluna: https://shopsubluna.com?sca_ref=6575731.SiVwQ6X9YX*Code JESSICAASH for 10% offIG: @shopsubluna*This is an affiliate link.

Have you ever been so anxious that your stomach started hurting? In addition to its well-known impacts on mental health, stress can also make people feel physically ill—and a new study could help explain why. Although it's fairly common knowledge that the gut “talks” to the brain by releasing hormones into the bloodstream, this recent study showed the relationship going back the other way: from the brain to the gut to the immune system. Researchers have found that removing key glands (called Brunner's glands) in mice, which line the walls of the small intestine, triggered inflammation and increase the chance of infection. Similar thing happens in humans who've had tumours removed in their gut. It seems that removal of these glands leads to a reduction in gut bacteria which triggers inflammation and subsequent pain. When the researchers took a closer look at these glands, they discovered a connection to the vagus nerve that goes from the base of the brain to the internal organs, influencing digestion, blood pressure, and even memory and mood. Fibers that connect to Brunner's gland lead directly to a region of the brain known as the amygdala, which plays a key role in emotion and the stress response. Researchers found that when mice are under chronic stress their glands shut down—causing gut bacteria to dwindle and intensifying inflammation. The take home message: being under mental stress can lead to a painful stomach! It highlights the importance of monitoring your stress levels and keeping good gut bacteria.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.Today I'm joined by Dr. Danny Knowles, Founder of Network Wellness Center in Boulder, CO. In this conversation, Danny describes how his health journey led him to the field of chiropractic, the largest, drugless healing modality in the world. We discuss the unity between man the physical and man the spiritual. Danny then explains the difference between NetworkSpinal care and those of other western chiropractors, which look more like physical therapy.Danny explains the spinal gateways tied to our nervous system, that everything is energy, and how their chiropractic care breaks the holding patterns that keep us trapped in ill health. We discuss how to optimize compromised nervous systems in the face of stress, and to increase the bandwidth of frequency we are able to experience.Danny describes how they turn nerves from “suck” to “joy” through a process of discover, transform, awaken and integrate. I ask Danny how he goes about adjusting patients, and Danny explains anchorage points, the spinal cord, and nerve fibers. We discuss how posture Is a window to the structure of your nerve system and that the heart, which has 40,000 neurons, can be considered a second brain.Next, we consider whether the increase in excess deaths in recent years could have resulted from mRNA vaccines. We conclude the conversation by discussing why this is a spiritual time to be working in the healing arts.This Outro is titled “Discover, Transform, Awaken, Integrate”.

Join Tamara for an interview with Lusiana Morales, who was born in Puerto Rico and began an architecture program there, while also apprenticing at a local tattoo shop and honing her linework skills. Midway through her degree she moved to Savannah to instead get her BFA in Painting at SCAD - she arrived in town in early 2020, so her first months here were during the height of Covid! Since graduating, Lusiana spent some time in Miami before returning to Savannah to work at Tramp Art Studios and pursue her MFA in Fibers, which she is currently halfway through. Check out Lusiana's work and follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/lusiana.arte/ (art) https://www.instagram.com/lusiana_morales/ (tattoos) https://www.lusianamorales.com/ Topics in their chat include: How Lusiana got into art and making by carrying her coloring books and markers around everywhere as a child, and then by her Grandma teaching her how to use a sewing machine growing up; growing up amongst the nature of Puerto Rico (including snakes and iguanas); her 2 years of architecture school, which led to her apprenticeship as a tattoo artist, and the gradual realization that she wanted to study drawing painting instead; how she arrived in Savannah at the beginning of 2020 and the challenge of then immediately taking her Life Drawing and other studio classes over Zoom; what kind of undergarments do life models wear when they are modeling over Zoom?; the tattoo licensing exam is mostly about how to handle bodily fluids and about pathogens and CPR; her recent 1-month internship in various rural areas of Guatemala to learn about traditional textile techniques; the difference between back-strap weaving and a floor loom; being able to travel around and do guest residencies at other tattoo shops, and how she packs her inks for plane travel; and what she's looking forward to: the annual SOY X SOY group show this fall at the Cultural Center, and looking ahead to her final year of her Fibers MFA program.

We break down so recent bogus claims around weight loss, probiotics, and fiber and sugar. In the huff of our madness around these topics, we failed to mention where natural sources of inulin can be found. Below is some clarity on other areas that inulin is found naturally: - garlic - asparagus - bananas - artichoke hearts - Beware of powders and large added amounts in foods... as these can cause cramping and gas. This is a classic case, that more at one time is not better.

Lee was diagnosed in 2012 with ulcerative colitis. He took the doctors' advice in consuming more fibre and taking their prescribed medication but lost his entire colon in 2017. He had ileostomy surgery which left him with a stoma and an ostomy bag. This caused him severe depression, and he was desperate for relief. In July 2022 he came across Mikhaila Petersons "don't eat this" on YT, and he felt inspired enough to take a leap of faith. he started a 30 day BBBE challenge and after 3 weeks, his depression had lifted! Multiple other benefits came with carnivore, and he has not looked back since. He now eats mostly fatty cuts of beef and life is great.

In episode 95 of the Backpacking Light podcast we're going to learn about the types of natural fibers that make up the fabrics we use for base layer and insulating apparel. To view the show notes for this episode, click here.
We were extra carb-loaded for this awesome episode! The main training topic was on a new study looking at how strength work changes muscle fiber properties over time. Strength training seemed to reverse the aging clock! We dig into the nuances of what it means and how to apply the findings for endurance athletes of all ages. Invest in a big kettlebell now. The juiciest topic was the upheaval in trail running after UTMB's Whistler fiasco. It's a story as old as time, with the big power player throwing their weight around and responding to push-back with weak apologies. Now, a new World Trail Majors series is stepping up to go head-to-head with the juggernaut. What comes next? We have some ideas. Get ready to swirl around in a controversy that could determine the future of trail running, with implications that apply across participant sports. And that was just the start of the fun! Other topics: getting up from the couch after periods of forced rest, improving recovery rates during hard training, a new American Record at 50 miles, a wild (true?) story from swimming featuring Diana Nyad, an update on the drama surrounding the USATF Marathon Trials, retirement in trail running, cut-off times, e-bikes, creatine supplementation, and hot takes. Somehow, we discuss the plot of the 1995 movie Casper. We hadn't seen it in 18 years, so get ready for a whimsical game of telephone with the deranged movies we showed kids in the 90s.
