Building on an annual tradition, Kevin Kendro, the supervisor of athletics and extracurricular activities for Frederick County Public Schools, stops by The Final Score podcast to deliver what's affectionately been dubbed The State of FCPS Athletics Address. Kendro and host Greg Swatek review the school year it was for Frederick County sports as 10 teams and more than 30 individuals won state championships over the course of the fall, winter and spring seasons. They also talk about big achievements away from the field as Carroll County Public Schools is set to join the Central Maryland Conference for the 2027-28 school year and girls flag football became an officially sanctioned varsity sport by the Maryland Public Secondary School Athletic Association after starting in Frederick County in 2023. What other big projects might be in the works for FCPS in regards to athletics? How do people feel about the CMC championship games? What's on the summer agenda leading into the start of fall sports practice in August? Kendro answers those questions as well. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy is back from his week of vacation. He and Greg wrap up the spring sports season for Frederick County schools and touch on all of the state championships. They also discuss the surprising success so far of the Washington Nationals.

Send us Fan MailMany women are doing everything "right."They're eating healthy, taking supplements, exercising, seeing specialists, getting labs done… and yet they still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, hormonally imbalanced, unable to lose weight, struggling with sleep, gut issues, thyroid symptoms, autoimmune conditions, or fertility challenges.So what if the problem isn't a lack of effort?What if the real issue is happening further upstream?In this fascinating episode of The It's Hertime Podcast, Cody sits down with Deborah Maragopoulos, FNP—better known as "The Hormone Queen"—to discuss the powerful role of the hypothalamus, a small but critical part of the brain that helps regulate hormones, metabolism, sleep, digestion, stress response, immunity, fertility, body temperature, and much more.Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience working with complex chronic illness cases, Deborah explains why so many women feel dismissed, why normal labs don't always mean optimal health, and why addressing symptoms alone often fails to create lasting healing.Together, Cody and Deborah explore the connection between stress, the nervous system, thyroid function, gut health, autoimmunity, metabolism, and hormone balance—and what women can do to support the body's communication systems naturally.If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and still don't feel like yourself, this conversation may connect some important dots.In this episode, we discuss:• What the hypothalamus is and why it matters • Why women can feel terrible despite "normal" lab results • The connection between stress and hormone signaling • How nervous system overload impacts metabolism and health • Why thyroid symptoms persist for some women even on medication • The relationship between gut health, inflammation, and hormones • Hashimoto's, autoimmune disease, and chronic stress patterns • Weight loss resistance, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and sleep disruption • Why so many women feel stuck despite doing all the right things • Practical ways to support the body's communication systems naturallyConnect with Deborah Maragopoulos:Instagram: @deborahmaragopoulosfnp https://www.instagram.com/deborahmaragopoulosfnp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTwDjUWkxsANSmh2wF5ltSgWebsite: https://genesisgold.comFree Gift for It's Hertime Listeners: https://thehormonequeen.com/hertimeConnect with Cody:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/codyjeansanders/Mixhers: Use Code: Cody for 15% offIf this episode helped you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group.

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

After advancing to a state final for the third time in the last four years, coach Mike Frownfelter, senior pitcher Evan Zarroli and senior catcher D.J. Staub are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast. Host Greg Swatek asks Frownfelter and the players if this is the season the Hawks finally get the monkey off their backs and overcome that final hurdle and claim their first state title in baseball. Weather permitting, Urbana is scheduled to face Dulaney in the Class 4A championship game at 4 p.m. Friday at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen. Frownfelter and the players talk about why the team is playing its best at the right time — Urbana has outscored the opposition 25-2 in three playoff games so far — and why the program has been so remarkably consistent. Tuesday's 5-0 victory over Broadneck marked the Hawks' fourth consecutive appearance in the state semifinals. They discuss a lineup that doesn't have any easy outs and a pitching staff that has consistently shut down the opposition when it has mattered most this season. They talk about what it's going to take to beat Dulaney, how previous adversity in big games has strengthened the team and what it would mean for all three of them to finally break through and claim that elusive state title. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss state finals week for Frederick County teams in baseball, softball and boys and girls lacrosse.

After Middletown High's baseball team won its third consecutive regional championship, coach Andy Baker and senior center fielder Cory Godlove are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast. Baker and Godlove chat with host Greg Swatek about the Knights' momentous and memorable 5-4, come-from-behind victory over Century in the Class 2A West Region I championship game. It marked the third straight year Middletown had beaten Century in a regional final. The discussion centers around Baker's longevity in his job and the Knights' ability to pull through and overcome adversity. Godlove talks about being a three-year varsity player, a three-time regional champ and a state champ with the Knights back in 2024. Baker and Godlove also talk about why this has been such a successful season for Middletown baseball. Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to talk about the state playoffs for Frederick County teams in baseball, softball and lacrosse.

After the Walkersville High boys lacrosse team won the Central Maryland Conference small school championship, continuing one of its best seasons in school history, star face-off man Angelo Torres and standout goalie Gavyn Dodson are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast. Torres tells host Greg Swatek how he became a face-off man and the key to becoming a good one, while Dodson explains why he wanted to be a goalie and how fearless one has to be to play the position. Torres and Dodson also discuss why this has been such a great season for Walkersville lacrosse, some of the most memorable moments and victories along the way and the key going forward for the Lions if they are going to seriously challenge for the Class 2A state championship. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to talk about the spring sports playoffs across Frederick County and the paths forward for some of the top state-title contenders in various sports.

After being honored last weekend in Ocean City as the Athletic Director of the Year by the Maryland State Athletic Directors Association, Frederick High athletic director Keivette Hammond is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Hammond chats with host Greg Swatek about the honor and how it fittingly coincided with the state's athletic directors voting to make a sport she championed from the very beginning, girls flag football, an officially sanctioned varsity sport in Maryland just three years after its inception here in Frederick County. She talks about the growth and impact that girls flag football has made on the high school sports scene statewide and the opportunities it has generated for young female athletes. Hammond also talks about her biggest role models and influences growing up and how they helped shape her as a person, as a coach and now an athletic director. She also talks about how sports can be a great vehicle in the lives and young people and create opportunities for them that they might not have expected. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss girls flag football becoming a varsity sport in Maryland, two former Frederick County football players, Jalen Huskey and Cameron Dorner, joining the NFL as a draft pick and priority free agent, respectively, and the upcoming spring sports playoffs for Frederick County teams.

After his team produced a momentous and unusual victory over arch rival Urbana last week, Linganore High girls lacrosse coach Dean Coccia is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Coccia talks with host Greg Swatek about the Lancers' 9-7 victory over Urbana, the two-time reigning Class 4A runner-up. Both Coccia and Urbana coach Ryan Hines agreed to end the game with 8 minutes and 35 seconds to play because both teams were severely short-handed due to the number of yellow cards issued in the game. On the podcast, Coccia discusses why that decision was made, the way the game was being officiated and the gesture made by Hines in a game his team still had a chance to come back and win. How big of a victory was it for Linganore and how might the Lancers benefit from it going forward? Now in his fourth season on the job, Coccia also talks about the growth and development of his young team, why it is having such a strong season and his overall expectations as the playoff approach. Can the Lancers contend for a state title in Class 3A? Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy stops in to chat with Greg about that unusual Linganore-Urbana girls lacrosse result, the pecking order on the boys lacrosse scene in the county behind Urbana and other happenings with spring sports around Frederick County.

Nursing is not a destination; it is a foundation. For too long, we have been told that leaving the bedside is 'leaving nursing,' but the truth is the exact opposite. By stepping into nontraditional roles—in tech, policy, research, and entrepreneurship—we aren't abandoning our profession; we are expanding its power. The future of healthcare depends on nurses who are brave enough to redefine where their expertise belongs. In this episode of the Gritty Nurse Podcast, Amie Archibald-Varley sits down with Ellie Kirkpatrick, RN, FNP, a seasoned Nurse Practitioner and the visionary creator behind The Nontraditional Nurse. With over a decade of clinical experience, Ellie has navigated the highs and lows of the profession—from the intense demands of the bedside to the liberating possibilities of specialized and remote roles. Amie and Ellie dive deep into the evolving landscape of nursing, tackling the heavy reality of burnout and the psychological shift required to "want more" without feeling like you're starting over. They explore: Career Evolution: Ellie's personal journey from RN to FNP and her transition into the nontraditional space. The Bedside & Beyond: Why exploring roles in utilization management, informatics, and even "space nursing" is vital for professional longevity. Technology & AI: How nurses can lead the charge in healthcare innovation and the critical need for the nursing voice in tech development. Advocacy & Education: The urgent need for nursing curricula to adapt to a profession that is no longer confined to the four walls of a hospital. Whether you are a new grad feeling the "thankless grind" or a veteran nurse looking to fill your cup again, this episode serves as a roadmap for finding a career path that respects your health, your growth, and your expertise.

Jenkins chats with Greg Swatek about the new eight-team league the Flying Cows are playing in. After playing their first two seasons in The Basketball League and reaching the TBL semifinals last June, the Flying Cows joined the United States Basketball League, which was renamed 94x50 League through a fan vote. He also talks about the team's intentional effort to become more local with a coach (Dan Prete) and players on the roster (Garrison Linton and Zach Thomas) who are from Frederick.

After winning championships at the state wrestling tournament in Upper Marlboro, Brunswick High's Kate Virgilio and Seth Crawford are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast.

Last season, she won the title at 115 pounds. Meanwhile, Crawford beat Francis Scott Key's Jesse Owings by an 11-2 major decision in the Class 2A-1A championship bout at 150 pounds to win his first state title and fulfill a lifelong dream.

After winning state wrestling titles last Saturday in Upper Marlboro, Linganore High wrestlers Cash Wheat and Alex Tortolani, as well as their coach, Jeff Wheat, Cash's father, are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast. The trio chats with host Greg Swatek about its big weekend at the state wrestling championships at The Show Place Arena. Cash Wheat pinned Walt Whitman's Matthew Hobbs in 5 minutes and 54 seconds in the Class 4A-3A championship match at 150 pounds, while Tortolani earned a 5-3 victory over Whitman's Zach Richards in the 4A-3A final at 215 pounds, reversing a loss to him from a week earlier in the regional championships. Wheat, who pinned over 100 opponents during his high-school career, grew up dreaming of winning a state title.

The trio chats with host Greg Swatek about how the Linganore boys were able to pull off such an improbable championship with such a small team. The Lancers didn't win a single event and scored only 31 points, and yet it was still good enough for a one-point win over second-place Oakdale and their first state team indoor championship since 2019.

Abercrombie talks with Greg Swatek about what he appreciates most about his team of 10 players, who often lack the size and athleticism of their opponents. Linganore also has the tendency to get off to slow starts and fall behind by double digits in games. Yet the Lancers have an equal knack for finding their way back into games and ultimately prevailing in the end. The coach explains how this is all possible, how having such a small team benefits them in many ways and whether he's had to adjust his expectations over the course of the season. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to the depth of the girls basketball scene in Frederick County, Hood College's Jevon Yarbrough, one of the leading scorers in Division III basketball for the nationally ranked Blazers, and some big games on tap on the high-school boys hoops landscape.

In this podcast episode, Courtney Stathis DNP, FNP-BC, RN and Catherine Wilson-Mooney, MSN, RN discuss the growing use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss and the urgent need to address their psychological, ethical, and social implications. Although these drugs can lead to significant weight reduction, they do not automatically improve body image or mental health, and may even be linked to depression and suicidal ideation. The conversation highlights the role of psychiatric nursing in educating patients, assessing emotional well-being, and ensuring safe use, especially as social media and cultural pressures drive patients to seek quick fixes. Concerns are raised about cost disparities, mail-order or compounded versions, and the increasing prescription to children, whose physical and emotional development may be at risk.
