"We don't go from severely symptomatic to fibro-free overnight, right? Improvement with fibromyalgia can be subtle, and it does take time." - Tami Stackelhouse Going through life with fibromyalgia, many of us quietly hope that one day we'll wake up without pain, fatigue, or brain fog. Unfortunately, in reality, improvement is small and can be hard to see while it's happening. Sometimes you might feel better for a week or two and then you have a flare and you feel like you're back at square one. It can feel like nothing is changing, even if things actually are. Improvement with fibromyalgia often shows up in quiet ways. Flares might not hit as hard as they used to. Recovery may happen a little faster. You might start noticing patterns that help you support your body before symptoms spiral. These shifts can be subtle, making them easy to overlook, especially when memory, brain fog, and emotional bias color our perception of our bad days. Learning how to track your symptoms in a simple, sustainable way can help you see those patterns more clearly and recognize progress that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this solo episode, Tami walks through why tracking symptoms can be one of the most powerful tools for understanding your fibromyalgia. Tami talks about what improvement looks like in fibromyalgia, why progress doesn't usually mean immediate symptom elimination, how daily symptom tracking can make a significant difference on your healing journey, Tami's tips for making tracking sustainable, how to use your tracking and symptom logs, how the revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire can help measure meaningful changes in symptoms, the role of assessment, personalized planning, and ongoing adjustments in a wellness framework, normalizing setbacks and course corrections using the analogy of a GPS recalculating the route, common mistakes we make once we start improving, what remission actually means in fibromyalgia, what progress really looks like, the idea of the "sticky middle," when improvement is happening but hard to recognize, recognizing the real life signs of improvement, when it may be helpful to seek specialized support or coaching, and more.

Hello to you listening in Brisbane, Australia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. It's wretched madness, stupidity, corruption, and greed! Yes, this is the time we're living in. While chances are it could get worse, I can also say that it is impermanent. When does it end? How does it end? No clue. But then again I don't know how electricity works. I can't see it until it flares in a lightbulb. Maybe electricity is like faith: “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” What I have seen is the growing momentum of good trouble. Will it continue? Count on it. I've lived long enough to believe that We the People have the momentum to crush the madness. What this growing momentum is made of, how it will manifest, or where it will come from is yet to be seen. Meanwhile, “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” [~ Harriet Beecher Stowe] Guaranteed!

Laura Hogan, our North East Correspondent.
An L5-S1 microdiscectomy can be a highly effective emergency or elective procedure to relieve severe nerve compression and sciatica by removing a problematic portion of a herniated disc. However, it is fundamentally a clean-up operation, not a healing one. The underlying injury to the annulus fibrosus remains entirely unresolved after surgery. Often, patients experience a sudden resolution of their sciatic symptoms and mistakenly believe they are cured. This leads them to immediately return to the exact daily habits, postures, and movement patterns that caused the initial injury, inevitably resulting in a frustrating relapse of lower back pain weeks or months later.The foundation of lasting recovery lies in active rehabilitation and learning to stabilise a neutral spine. Whether you are days post-operation or actively trying to avoid surgery altogether, the principles of recovery remain identical. Early intervention with foundational stability exercises—such as the dead bug and marching bridge—is absolutely crucial. Many patients are given poor guidance to "do nothing" for weeks, yet they are simultaneously getting out of bed, dressing themselves, and sitting down. These daily activities place far more load on a vulnerable lower back than controlled, aggravation-free movements performed carefully on a bed or mat.Ultimately, the goal of a structured rehabilitation programme isn't just to get good at doing exercises; it is to build robust, long-term strength and resilience that transfers to the real world. By progressively loading the spine through careful hip hinge and squat patterns, you fortify the spinal tissues and build a protective shield of muscle. This active, strength-based approach ensures that you aren't just putting a temporary patch over the issue, but fully repairing your structural foundation so you can return to a confident, active, and independent lifestyle.Key Topics Covered

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Breathing trouble changes the whole mood of a home—especially when a child wakes at midnight tight-chested and scared. We wanted a plan that feels calm, clear, and practical, so we walk through how to read asthma patterns and match them to targeted homeopathic remedies without sidelining common-sense medical care. You'll hear how triggers like colds, nighttime anxiety, damp mornings, mold, or exercise point to different choices, plus what improvement really looks like in the moment.We dig into a focused remedy toolkit: Spongia for dry, barking coughs; Antimonium tart for rattly chests that can't move mucus; Arsenicum for midnight fear and suffocation feelings; Ipecac for wheeze with nausea; Nat sulph for damp-weather and morning tightness; Blatta orientalis for dust and mold links; Bryonia for painful, stillness-seeking breathing; and Phosphorus for sensitive, easily overwhelmed lungs. We also share practical dosing guidance—start low and slow, reassess if nothing shifts, and use the rescue inhaler when needed. If a remedy consistently helps a known trigger, we discuss when prophylaxis makes sense and when to wait.Because asthma isn't just lungs—it's nerves, sleep, and emotion—we add supportive tools that steady the whole system. Magnesium to relax bronchial muscles, avoiding cold dairy during colds, steam to move congestion, time outdoors for vitamin D and regulation, and playful breathwork like bubbles, pinwheels, and lion's breath to ease panic and lengthen exhalations. We close with clear red flags for urgent care and a simple way to build your own “flare card” so the right remedy is at your fingertips. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's up at night with a wheezer, and leave a review with the trigger you want help mapping—we'll build future guides around your questions.

In today's session, we dive deep into the mechanics of why lower back pain and sciatica flare up, even when you think you are doing the right things. The core of the issue is often "movement leakage," where motion intended for your hips or upper body inadvertently puts stress on an injured lumbar segment. Whether you are dealing with a herniated disc at L4/5 or L5/S1, these tissues have a reduced capacity for stress. When you move incorrectly—such as rounding your spine during a bent-over row or a simple daily task—you aggravate those vulnerable tissues. Understanding this is the first step toward moving away from the cycle of chronic pain and toward a structured rehabilitation programme.We also challenge the common misconception that more bending and stretching is the solution for a stiff back. If movement is what caused the aggravation, it is rarely logical to focus your recovery on more bending and twisting of the injured area. Instead, the priority must be to stabilise and protect the spine through isometric contraction and proper technique. By building a foundation of strength through exercises like squats and hip hinges, you teach your body to shield the injured segments, allowing the healing process to take place without constant re-injury.### Key Topics Covered
** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 40: Vocalist Petter Aagaard and producer Tomas Nerbo Smagesjo – masterminds behind the Norwegian funk act known as The Bump Squad. This dynamic duo recently released their third album since 2020. The sprawling and deeply funky 21-track Guilty as Funk! follows Weird is the New Cool! and He Who Dares, Flares! All three titles put an exclamation point on the funk, and the fellas are calling their latest the climax of the band's CAPSLOCK trilogy. Here they chime in from Norway explaining their love and passion for American funk artists and recordings, and how they are stamping their own signature on heavy funk. Aargaard is also author of a Prince biography book. RECORDED DECEMBER 2025 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

This storm is described as the strongest radiation event in 20 years, with scientists noting its potential similarity to the historic 1859 Carrington event. The solar activity has disrupted radio communications and produced stunning auroras, while the sun continues its 11-year solar cycle.Nasa's Artemis 2 Mission DelayedNASA has postponed the launch of its Artemis 2 manned moon mission due to fuel leaks during a critical launch rehearsal. The mission aims to send a crew of four aboard an Orion spacecraft on a 10-day journey around the moon. The delays stem from issues with the SLS rocket's hydrogen tanks and other technical challenges, with new launch windows opening in March.China's Orbital Space Carrier PlansChina has announced plans for a Star Wars-style orbital space carrier named Luanio, designed to deploy hypersonic missiles and unmanned stealth drones. This massive spacecraft would be part of an ambitious defense system, although the technology to build such a vehicle is still in the realm of science fiction. The announcement comes amid tensions between the U.S. and China regarding military advancements.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

Have you ever noticed that you feel worse after seeing or talking to your mother? More anxious, irritable, shut down, flooded, or exhausted? If so, this episode is for you.In this episode, I break down why your body and nervous system may flare up after contact with your mother, especially after you've done some healing work. We talk about why this reaction is not regression, not weakness, and not a sign that you're doing anything wrong. Often, it's a sign that your nervous system is more awake, more honest, and less willing to dissociate in order to survive.You'll learn how loosening a boundary with good intentions can still lead to nervous system dysregulation, why going back to old dynamics can feel harder once you see them clearly, and how your body responds when it's holding two truths at the same time: “I used to survive this” and “I no longer should have to.”I also walk you through how to tell whether you're in intense dysregulation, more regulated, or living in the messy middle, and what actually helps in each state. Instead of forcing clarity or rushing into action, we focus on becoming a better friend to your nervous system and responding to what it's truly asking for.This episode is for daughters who feel confused by their reactions, frustrated by their bodies, or worried that healing is making things harder. There's nothing wrong here. Your nervous system is simply doing exactly what it was designed to do.Key takeaway: We don't rush nervous systems into clarity. We earn their trust first.Resources & Support: If you're a member of the Mayhem Daughters community, you'll find a companion post and worksheet inside The Work to help you walk through this in real time.

We also explore the latest research on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, and uncover the sources of the sun's mysterious gamma rays.Life's Building Blocks on TitanA groundbreaking study reveals that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, exhibits unexpected chemical interactions at extremely low temperatures. Researchers found that hydrogen cyanide can mix with nonpolar substances like methane and ethane, challenging traditional chemistry principles. This discovery could provide insights into the prebiotic chemistry that may have preceded life on Earth, as Titan's environment mirrors that of early Earth.Europa's Quiet OceansIn a surprising turn, new calculations suggest that the vast subsurface ocean beneath Europa's icy crust may be lifeless. This research indicates that Europa lacks the geological activity, such as hydrothermal vents, necessary to sustain life. Lead author Paul Brian discusses how the moon's stable orbit around Jupiter limits the tidal forces that could drive geological processes, casting doubt on the moon's potential as a habitat for life.The Source of Solar Gamma RaysAstronomers have identified the origin of intense gamma radiation emitted during solar flares, linking it to high-energy electrons colliding with plasma in the solar corona. This finding, derived from observations of a significant solar flare in 2017, enhances our understanding of solar flare physics and could improve space weather forecasting.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNature CommunicationsNature AstronomyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Scientists studying Saturn's moon Titan have discovered that normally incompatible substances can mix(00:05:19) NASA will launch the Dragonfly mission to Titan in 2028(00:13:36) NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will study icy moon Europa(00:18:11) Astronomers have discovered that gamma rays generated by solar flares are caused by electrons(00:21:58) Most people who take diabetes drug Mounjaro gain weight back after stopping

In this episode, we bid farewell to the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas as it completes its closest approach to Earth, offering a glimpse into a cosmic journey that spans billions of years. We discuss the Parker Solar Probe's remarkable 26th close approach to the Sun, where it continues to gather critical data about solar activity at a staggering speed of 430,000 miles per hour. In a more whimsical turn, we share the exciting news of a public contest to design a mascot for NASA's Artemis 2 mission, highlighting the incredible engagement from around the globe.Shifting gears, we delve into the enigma of luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs), exploring a recent discovery that suggests these cosmic explosions may arise from massive black holes tearing apart companion stars. We also examine the potential threat posed by asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small chance of impacting the Moon in 2032, potentially scattering debris into near-Earth space. Finally, we analyze Russia's revamped plans for its future in space, as it opts to repurpose aging modules from the International Space Station into a new national space station, raising questions about safety and scientific capabilities.### Timestamps & Stories01:05 –Story 1: Farewell to Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas****Key Facts**- Comet 3I/Atlas made its closest approach to Earth, coming within 168 million miles.- It is only the third interstellar object detected passing through our solar system.03:20 – **Story 2: Parker Solar Probe's Close Approach****Key Facts**- The probe completed its 26th perihelion, flying just 3.8 million miles from the Sun.- It operated autonomously while gathering crucial data about solar activity.05:45 – **Story 3: NASA's Artemis 2 Mascot Contest****Key Facts**- NASA invited the public to design a zero gravity indicator for the Artemis 2 mission.- Thousands of submissions were received, with 25 finalists selected.08:00 – **Story 4: Understanding LFBOTs****Key Facts**- Recent findings suggest LFBOTs result from black holes shredding companion stars.- The energy emitted during these events is significantly higher than typical supernova explosions.10:15 – **Story 5: Potential Impact of Asteroid 2024 YR4****Key Facts**- There is a 4% chance that this building-sized asteroid will hit the Moon in 2032.- The impact could release energy equivalent to 400 times the Hiroshima bomb.12:00 – **Story 6: Russia's Future in Space****Key Facts**- Russia plans to repurpose the old ISS modules into a new national space station.- Concerns arise regarding the safety and maintenance of aging infrastructure.### Sources & Further Reading1.

Is it just an eczema (atopic dermatitis) flare or could it be something else? Most people don't realize that Staph aureus could be the hidden skin flare trigger that actively weakens your skin barrier, triggering more inflammation, itchiness, and persistent eczema symptoms. Even if it seems “normal,” the presence of Staph might point to deeper imbalances that need attention.In this episode, we dig into how Staph aureus, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, and even air pollution can all contribute to recurring eczema.Joining me is Dr. Peter Lio, a board-certified dermatologist and respected voice in integrative dermatology. He's a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern University and has authored over 100 papers, along with a textbook on Integrative Dermatology.If you're ready to understand why your eczema isn't clearing up, this is a must-listen conversation filled with insight and practical takeaways.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Learn how to address your Eczema root causes
SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest astronomical phenomena and significant discoveries that are shaping our understanding of Earth and space.Auroral Displays Light Up the SkiesPlanet Earth has been treated to an extraordinary display of auroras, with both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis lighting up the skies following three powerful X-class solar flares, including an X 5.1 event on November 11. This segment dives into the mechanics behind these solar flares, the resulting coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and how they triggered spectacular auroras visible at lower latitudes than usual, including sightings as far north as Cairns and even Florida.Largest Modern Impact Crater DiscoveredScientists have uncovered what is believed to be the largest modern impact crater on Earth, the 900-metre-wide Jinling Crater in southern China. This well-preserved structure, dating back to the Holocene epoch, offers new insights into extraterrestrial impacts and their effects on our planet. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about the frequency and scale of impacts from small celestial bodies and highlights the importance of studying such geological features.Nasa's Key Communications Dish Out of ServiceIn a significant setback for NASA, the 70-metre Goldstone deep space communications dish has been rendered inoperable due to an accident that occurred in September. The incident has raised concerns about the strain on NASA's Deep Space Network, especially with upcoming missions like Artemis 2. We discuss the implications of this loss for various space missions and the efforts being made to mitigate the impact on communications.The Science RobertIn our science report, we highlight a new projection from the World Meteorological Organisation indicating that 2025 is unlikely to be the hottest year on record, but it will rank among the top three. We also address public health concerns surrounding a measles alert in Australia, linked to declining vaccination rates, and the potential resurgence of preventable diseases. This segment underscores the importance of vaccination in maintaining herd immunity and protecting public health.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Geophysical ResearchNature CommunicationsWorld Meteorological Organisation ReportsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

Gout is often dismissed as the outcome of rich food and alcohol, but Heather McKean reveals a deeper story: unresolved anger, shame, and control patterns that crystalize in the body as pain and inflammation. In this episode, Heather unpacks why gout so commonly strikes the feet, how early family dynamics prime a person for “acidic” emotions, and why perfectionism, worry, and feeling trapped can feed flare-ups. Through the composite case of “Marcus,” she traces the path from emotionally absent parenting to high-achieving adulthood laced with suppressed rage—and then offers practical Mind Change steps for releasing bitterness, reclaiming boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.What We Covered
What if your most stubborn pain isn't a broken body, but a brilliant brain trying to protect you? We open up about Tanner's journey from spreading knee, shoulder, and back pain to a full recovery, and how the real turning point came when he reframed pain as a danger signal from the nervous system—not proof of damage. You'll hear the messy middle too: fear, failed treatments, shrinking routines, and the isolation that follows when life gets small.We break down the five pillars that changed everything. First, evidence-based education shifted beliefs using the work of Dr. John Sarno and Dr. Howard Schubiner, plus real-world clues like symptom inconsistency and stress-linked flares. Second, brain retraining and graded exposure taught Tanner to approach sensation with safety and rebuild movement without deadlines. Third, daily nervous system regulation—breathwork, mindfulness, qigong, and somatic practices—created a calmer baseline while building capacity to feel emotions in the body without spiralling. Fourth, trauma processing addressed bullying, addiction history, and the trauma of chronic pain itself, using titrated, body-led methods and, when needed, therapeutic support. Finally, social safety sealed the change: fewer toxic ties, less pressure, clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and more play.The result isn't a life without discomfort; it's a nervous system that bounces back. Flares show up less often and fade faster because the brain has new proof that movement and emotion are safe. If you've been told to just live with it, this conversation offers a different path—rooted in neuroscience, practice, and patience. Subscribe, share with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these tools. What's the first safety signal or small exposure you'll try this week?Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!

This podcast is produced by Alex Klassen, who is one of the wonderful therapists at our agency in Calgary, Alberta. https://www.painpsychotherapy.ca/ Tanner, Anne, and Alex also run the MBody Community, which is an in-depth online course that provides step-by-step guidance for assessing, treating, and resolving mind-body pain and symptoms. https://www.mbodycommunity.com Also check out Tanner's YouTube channel for more free education and practices: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Fl6WaFHnh4ponuexaMbFQ And follow us for daily education posts on Instagram: @painpsychotherapy Discl...
A soccer match in Israel was abandoned over the weekend after rioting amid heightened tensions. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.
In this episode, I'm opening up about my own journey with PCOS, multiple autoimmune conditions, and how functional testing—especially the DUTCH test—has changed everything for me and the women I work with. For years, I pushed through health challenges: PCOS, Hashimoto's, celiac, even mysterious skin flares from annuloma granulare. Add to that the exhaustion, thyroid struggles, ovarian cysts after childbirth, and the rollercoaster of perimenopause symptoms—and I know firsthand what it feels like when your body seems to betray you. Like so many women, I was raised in the “no pain, no gain” culture. I kept going, even when I was so weak I couldn't carry my baby in his car seat without stopping. Doctors gave me creams, steroids, and quick fixes, but nothing addressed the deeper issue: my body was desperately out of balance. That's when testing became my lifeline. Not just blood work, but the DUTCH test—a comprehensive hormone panel that shows exactly how your body is producing and processing hormones. With it, I learned how my cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone were really functioning—and how to actually support them. Here's why this matters: Symptoms overlap. Fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, irregular cycles—it could be thyroid, adrenals, perimenopause, or PCOS. Without testing, it's guesswork. Numbers don't lie. The DUTCH test gives you black-and-white data that takes away the uncertainty. No one-size-fits-all fixes. The results guide a plan tailored to your unique body—nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and sometimes simply rest. I see this with clients all the time. So many women wait, punishing themselves, thinking they just need to “try harder.” But the truth is—you don't need to push harder. You need the right information about your body so you can finally work with it instead of against it. If you've ever wondered, Am I in perimenopause? Is this my thyroid? Do I have PCOS flares?, the DUTCH test is the place to start. It gives us the roadmap, so you stop guessing and start healing. Don't wait years like I did. Don't wait until you're completely burned out. Get answers now: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
