She breaks down how the program works — from smart devices and at-home blood testing to weekly coaching, short video lessons, cooking demos, AI support, and a thriving alumni community.You'll also hear from two inspiring graduates, Vicky and Dan, who reveal what motivated them to join, the fears they had going in, and the surprising shifts they experienced as they added more plants to their plates. Their stories underscore a simple truth: when people feel supported, connected, and empowered with real tools, transformation follows.If you're a business leader, HR professional, or anyone curious about the future of Food as Medicine, this episode offers a clear and inspiring blueprint for what's possible when nutrition becomes the foundation of workplace wellness.Plant Strong by Metabite Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness-solution/ Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeLearn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrong.com/pages/events Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyTake the Free 7-Day Challenge: https://liveplantstrong.com/free-7-day-challenge/ Learn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

Traditional Chinese medicine looks at your sex life very differently than Western medicine and honestly, it's VERY refreshing. In this episode, we're joined by Jaiming Ju, a 2nd-generation Chinese medicine practitioner and founder of Kun Health, to talk about how TCM understands libido, pain during sex, ED, arousal, and overall sexual wellbeing. We get into body patterns, energy balance, lifestyle habits, and what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you. We cover: How Chinese medicine understands sex and pleasure. Jaiming explains why sexual health is seen as a major indicator of overall wellbeing, not an isolated issue. Why pain during sex is never “just in your head”. How TCM views dryness, pelvic pain, tension, and discomfort and why it's almost always linked to imbalance, depletion, or circulation issues. Understanding libido changes. How arousal, desire, and lubrication map to warmth, energy, and hormonal patterns + how aging, stress, lifestyle, and depletion impact the body. ED from a TCM perspective. Why erections are about circulation, warmth, and “yang energy,” and what it means when interest and performance don't match. Tongue diagnosis and what it reveals about your sex life. Yes, your tongue really can show dryness, heat, coldness, stress patterns, or issues affecting libido. Why stress and exhaustion shut down desire. How nervous system overload, burnout, and irregular routines drain the body's resources and impact arousal. Practical pleasure support from a Chinese medicine lens. Food, warmth, routines, habits, and small changes that help your body feel safer, softer, and more responsive during sex. How to support long-term sexual health at every age. Daily practices Jaiming recommends to maintain circulation, lubrication, desire, and overall balance. Connect with Jaiming HERE!

Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "The rise of digital therapeutics in medicine." Muhamad explains what prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) are, emphasizing they are not wellness apps but Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared, evidence-based software prescribed by clinicians to treat specific diagnoses. He explores the groundbreaking examples already authorized by the FDA, including software for substance use disorder, a video game for pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a new adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder. Muhamad breaks down how these digital therapeutics are designed to work alongside (not replace) human clinicians, offering continuous, skill-building support for mental health conditions. Learn how this new category of medicine is moving care from the exam room into the patient's daily life and what it means for the future of treatment.

Send us a textThe limited release that crosses loves for many bourbon and beer lovers has once again found its way to our glasses. That storied, bourbon barrel finished imperial stout, hailing from the great northern state of...Illinois...comes to us at a hearty 14.8% ABV this time around. Yet, there's something quite different about the presentation and packaging this time around for the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout...how peculiar. Does it matter, in the end? Perhaps...perhaps not. But, what we really care about is what that deep, black liquid inside tastes like and whether it's worth picking it up. So, with that in mind, dear listener (or viewer), I say, hit play, and...enjoy.Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcastLeave us a 5 star rating and review on your podcast app of choice!Send us an email with questions or comments to thisismybourbonshop@gmail.comSend us mail to PO Box 22609, Lexington, KY 40522Check out all of our merch and apparel: http://bourbonshop.threadless.com/Leave us a message for Barrel Rings at 859.428.8253Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mybourbonpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mybourbonpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mybourbonpod/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thisismybourbonpodcastPayPal, if you feel so inclined: PayPal.me/pritter1492Link to our Barrell Rye Armagnac Finished Pick: https://shop.whiskeyinmyweddingring.com/products/barrell-private-release-rye-1a03Support the show

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting with news the EPA approved a new forever chemical in pesticides that is being used on food. Read that sentence again. The big food processors want the food grown for them to last longer, and the big conglomerate farms want the food to grow bigger and faster. What does that mean for the health of consumers? Then, Doug shares information of the farmers' share of Thanksgiving. By the numbers, families paid much more this year for turkeys, stuffing, pumpkins, dinner rolls, cranberries, potatoes, etc. The farmers, however, aren't seeing an increase in their share of the profit. It's an outrage and even more important to remind people to work with farmers directly and to support their local farmers. When rural America does well, we all do well. However, rural America is being squeezed by the administration, by the reality of the big business that control a majority of the source of food. Good news comes from an 8th grader who believes we can transform agriculture's future. Doug shares her story and the encouragement that comes with it.   Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Why does the thought of intimacy make you want to hide under the covers...alone? If you're a midlife woman who's lost that loving feeling, you're not broken (you're just like the rest of us) and we've been playing by the wrong rules. In this conversation, intimacy expert Susan Bratton exposes the truth about female arousal that nobody taught us (especially not those s3x-ed classes back in the day). We dive deep into why it takes women 20 minutes to achieve what men accomplish in 2 minutes, why "duty booty" is destroying relationships, and how to transform obligation into genuine desire.  Susan shares her personal journey from a s3xless marriage at 42 to having the best intimacy of her life at 64. We explore practical solutions like the yon! massage, why scheduling intimacy isn't unromantic, and which tools and supplements actually help. Plus, Susan reveals why everything you've seen about s3x is built for male pleasure and how to flip the script…for good.  This conversation will change how you think about your body, your relationships, and your right to pleasure: it's not about not loving your partner or not wanting connection, it's about that disconnect between what you wish you felt and what you actually feel.     Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Episode Links   http://orgasmicintercouse.com/  https://drivedesire.com/  http://soulmateembrace.com/  https://betterlover.com/  Learn More About Susan Bratton   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/susanbratton  Website ➜  https://susanbratton.com/   Thank you to our show sponsors!

It's Tuesday, December 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Trump urges Venezuelan president to leave country U.S. sabers are rattling off the coast of Venezuela.   The Miami Herald reported that President Donald Trump offered Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro an ultimatum over the weekend: He said, “You can save yourself and those closest to you, but you must leave the country now.”   For any assistance in leading to Maduro's arrest, the U.S. government has placed a bounty of $50 million on the Venezuelan President.   Also, President Trump issued a warning on Saturday via Truth Social. He wrote, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” Trump designates Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group The President also designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist group, as of Sunday.  CounterExtremism.com has counted 48 extremist individuals and groups tied to the Brotherhood. As a Muslim Brotherhood host, the nation of Qatar has transferred $1.8 billion to Gaza since 2012, some of which reportedly has gone to Hamas. That information was revealed through recent audits. 65 people died from Ebola in Congo, Africa The Democratic Republic of the Congo is dealing with another Ebola outbreak — 65 cases confirmed and 45 deaths, reports U.S. News & World Report. The last major Congolese outbreak occurred in 2018. The virus is as dangerous as rabies, the Marburg virus, and the Avian flu. Exodus 4:11 reminds us that God is in control of all health issues: “So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?” Russian-Ukrainian negotiations at stalemate In other world news, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict negotiations are approaching another stalemate. Ukraine announced they will not accept territorial concessions. And French President Emmanuel Macron announced an endorsement of using frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine's defense. Japanese court upholds ban on homosexual marriage Japan's Tokyo court upheld the homosexual marriage ban as constitutional, reports the BBC. Of Asian states, only Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan have legalized the practice thus far. Christian ministries ranked most and least transparent Ministry Watch has released its 2025 ratings of American ministries for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Of the largest ministries in the United States, Medicine For All People International, Grand Canyon University, World Relief, Christian Aid Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Christian Broadcasting Network rate the highest. Lowest ratings go to Samaritan's Purse, Convoy of Hope, Baylor University, Pepperdine University, and Hillsdale College. Some controversy has been brewing recently over the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association's withdrawal from the organization.  Top 3 ministries serving the persecuted Of the six ministries serving the persecuted saints, Ministry Watch rates International Christian Concern, Equipping the Persecuted, and Persecution Project highest for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Voice of the Martyrs is rated lowest.   Equipping the Persecuted focuses on Nigeria, and Persecution Project has been actively serving the persecuted saints in Sudan, Africa. Folks, think about giving to the poor and the suffering this Christmas season. Proverbs 28:27 says, “He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.” U.S. government ran a $1.8 trillion deficit The financial numbers are in for the U.S. government's fiscal year 2025, ending in October. The government ran a deficit of $1.8 trillion for the year. That's down $41 billion or 2% compared to the previous year.  However, revenues increased by $317 billion due to higher tariffs on imported goods. Spending was up a whopping 4% or $275 billion, driven by welfare and benefit programs, as well as rising interest payments on the public debt. Trump to pick new Federal Reserve Chairman U.S. President Donald Trump will soon announce his next pick for chairman of the Federal Reserve. The new pick is slated to replace Jerome Powell in May of next year. Gold hits $4,230/ounce and silver hits $58/ounce Metals are still on the rise again. Gold hit $4,230 per ounce and silver topped $58.00 per ounce. Bitcoin is still down 31% over two months ago. FDA admits COVID-19 shots killed U.S. kids The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has acknowledged, for the first time, that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. According to Politico, Vinay Prasad, the vaccine chief for the FDA, issued a memo in which he revealed that FDA staff “found … at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination.” This comes from an “initial analysis of 96 deaths (associated with the vaccine taking place) between 2021 and 2024.” TN Democrat opposes Christian prayer in public forum And finally, the Christian faith appears to be at stake -- in a tight election in Tennessee for the 7th District Congressional seat. The Democrat candidate Aftyn Behn has gone on record stating she is opposed to Christian prayer in the public forum.   President Donald Trump took to Truth Social yesterday. He warned that Behn “hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders. . . men in women's sports, and openly disdains Country music.” The latest polls show the Republican candidate, Van Epps, is holding a slight lead in today's election.

A check in conversation with Stef van Dongen, founder of The Pioneers of Our Time. Sitting at the fireplace we trace how neighbors who barely spoke began phoning across ridgelines, how tourism money are flowing uphill to fund forest work, and how a dense, abandoned woodland started opening into a living mosaic that holds water, softens fire, and invites wildlife back. We walk through the mechanics of a cost-based climate credit that pays for what a hectare truly needs over 15 years measured across water, carbon, biodiversity, and fire safety. It's a public–private framework that the regional government helps certify: pilots sold out, and a thousand credits are now in sight as the valley scales from dozens to thousands of hectares, all within a 40,000-hectare fire prevention plan designed to be holistic from day one.The conversation goes deeper into governance and replication. How do you manage a watershed you don't own? Start with trust, map the layers- forest, water, biodiversity, agriculture, economy- and build a campus where scientists, foresters, and investors can monitor, learn, and iterate. We compare desalination's billion-euro price tags to the cheaper, cleaner gains from soil sponge restoration. We talk predators and grazers, “green deserts” and beavers, and the hard pivot from carbon-speak to water security, a narrative that resonates across politics because everyone needs a shower, a harvest, and a forest that won't explode each summer.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Here's what a perfect day in Hollywood Studios looks like! Morning: Rope Drop Energy & Star Wars DreamsIf you arrive at rope drop, you'll find excitement buzzing through the crowd. The sun is barely up, but everyone is already strategizing. For many, the first mission of the day is navigating Batuu.I headed straight to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where the sounds of droids and starships fill the air. There's nothing quite like wandering the market stalls as the land wakes up. I hopped in line for Rise of the Resistance, which—no matter how many times you've ridden—is jaw-droppingly immersive. From the First Order Star Destroyer hangar to the runaway escape pod, it's more than a ride; it's a cinematic moment you get to live.Then it was time for a little friendly competition on Smugglers Run. I'm not saying I was the best pilot the Millennium Falcon has ever seen, but I did manage to avoid crashing into anything major.Late Morning: Toy Story Fun & NostalgiaFrom the rugged outpost of Batuu, I strolled into the colorful world of Toy Story Land. Giant building blocks, oversized toy footprints, and Slinky Dog whizzing by—everything here feels like Saturday morning nostalgia.Slinky Dog Dash is the perfect family coaster: smooth, joyful, fast enough to thrill but still full of charm. Afterward, Toy Story Mania offered a chance to test my aim. I walked away with slightly sore arms and enormous pride at beating my own high score.Lunch: A Break on Sunset BoulevardFor lunch, I wandered to Sunset Boulevard, grabbing a quick bite under the palm trees. Street performers were out, adding a little showbiz sparkle to the day. If you're hungry and in a rush, the snack options here are ideal—plus, there's always the temptation of a Mickey pretzel.Afternoon: Thrills, Shows & A Touch of Disney MagicYou can't visit Hollywood Studios without feeling that mix of excitement and dread as you approach The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The eerie music, the flickering marquees, the feeling that the building is watching you—it's chilling in the best way. The drop sequence? Still one of the most delightfully unpredictable thrills in all of Walt Disney World.Next door, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith delivers a lightning-fast launch that sends you straight into a whirlwind of neon. If you love coasters, this is one of those rides that sticks with you.Needing a breather afterward, I caught a showing of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. There's nothing quite like watching adults and kids alike belt out “Let It Go” with absolutely no shame. The humor and improv from the royal historians make this show a must-see.Evening: Pixar Place, Characters & Golden Hour MagicAs the sun dipped lower, I wandered around Pixar Place, where character meet-and-greets and playful photo ops made for perfect golden-hour memories. Hollywood Studios takes on a special glow in the evening—neon lights flicker to life, and the park feels cinematic in a whole new way.Dinner at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo hit the spot: creative dishes with that perfect Galaxy's Edge theming.Night: An Epic FinaleTo end the day, I found a spot for Fantasmic!, the iconic nighttime spectacular. Watching Sorcerer Mickey battle classic Disney villains while fountains, projections, and fireworks dance across the water is the perfect emotional wrap-up to the adventure.As the final burst of fireworks faded, I walked out with tired feet, a happily aching smile, and that warm, glowing feeling Disney seems to conjure so effortlessly.Final ThoughtsA day at Hollywood Studios is more than a park visit—it's stepping into your favorite movies, embracing nostalgia, chasing thrills, and soaking up wonderfully crafted storytelling from morning to night. Whether you're a Star Wars fan, a Pixar lover, a thrill-seeker, or just someone who appreciates Disney magic, Hollywood Studios delivers an unforgettable experience.

This week, we're replaying one of my favorite conversations of the year, a Q&A session we recorded in May at our 21 Hats Live event in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman's Community of Businesses. If you've already listened to our conversation with Ari, I encourage you to listen again. It's worth it.And if you haven't heard it, well, you're in for a treat. Much of the discussion focused on a topic that haunts just about every business owner, and that's pricing. Specifically, Ari talked about how he learned to charge enough to run a healthy business and why he'd rather go out of business charging what Zingerman's needs to charge than go out of business never knowing whether customers would have paid the true cost of great food and great service. (Spoiler alert: They have not gone out of business.)Not surprisingly, the 21 Hats Live participants had lots of questions for Ari, including how he and his partners decide whether to launch a new business, how he and co-founder Paul Saginaw have maintained their partnership for more than 40 years, how he and Paul are approaching succession, and whether he thinks of himself as successful, which prompted Ari to share that his mother never stopped pleading with him to take the LSAT. You know, just in case.We're re-playing the episode in part because we took Thanksgiving week off from recording but also because it offers a little taste of what it's like to attend a 21 Hats Live event. As you may have seen in the Morning Report, I've just announced that our fourth annual in-person event will take place in Cincinnati in May. Once again, it will be a terrific opportunity to connect with others who understand what it takes to build a business. If you've ever wished you could spend more time with people who really get what you're going through, this is your chance. We will have peer group conversations on topics you help pick. We'll get VIP tours of iconic local businesses. We'll eat good food. We'll build relationships. And we'll leave inspired.But spots are limited. For more information and to register, please check the newsletter I sent out on Sunday. Or shoot me an email, and I'll make sure you get the invite. You can reach me at loren@21hats.com.

State Representative Brad Paquette (Michigan House District 37) sits down to weigh in on the latest bombshell from U.S. Food and Drug Administration: an internal memo reportedly tied COVID-19 vaccination to the deaths of at least 10 children and announced sweeping changes to how vaccines will be reviewed going forward. In this episode, Brad discusses what the memo means for public trust, parental rights, and vaccine policy, especially for families concerned about safety and transparency. Whether you've followed the controversy closely or are just hearing about it now, this conversation aims to cut through the noise, highlight the concerns many Michigan families are asking about, and explore what could happen next in Lansing and beyond.

Topics We Cover: 00:00 – New data from Harvard/Mass General may classify nearly 70% of adults as having obesity 03:00 – A new oral triple agonist shows record-setting absorption rates 07:00 – Fractal Health's Revita procedure: weight maintenance after stopping GLP-1s 12:00 – Zepbound vial prices drop (full breakdown by dose) 16:00 – Dave's personal experience switching off Mounjaro and intense hunger return 22:00 – Novo Nordisk's EVOKE/EVOKE+ Alzheimer's trial: what the data really means 29:00 – Why GLP-1 neurological research is just getting started 33:00 – Updates on access, partners, and major news coming soon for Medicare patients If you're on Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, Trulicity, or compounded versions, this episode gives you the insight and context you need to have more competent and confident conversations with your doctor. Bullet Point Summary of the Podcast Episode New Obesity Measurement Data (Harvard/Mass General Study) Harvard and Mass General propose adding waist circumference to BMI to better diagnose obesity. Traditional BMI misses key factors like muscle mass and body composition. Using the updated measure, Americans classified as obese jumps from ~43% to almost 69%. This means 7 out of 10 U.S. adults would now qualify as having the disease of obesity. Dave notes this validates many people who “feel” metabolically unwell despite a “normal” BMI. Reinforces his claim that “most people should be talking to their doctors about GLP-1s.” New Oral Triple Agonist (Ascletis – ASC41/ASC? Molecule) From Ascletis (A-S-C-L-E-T-I-S), developing an oral triple agonist targeting: GLP-1 GIP Glucagon Similar in mechanism to retatrutide, expected around 2027. Preclinical (animal) data show stunning results: Oral bioavailability of 4.2% 9× higher than tirzepatide 30× higher than oral semaglutide 6× higher than oral retatrutide 57× greater drug exposure than oral retatrutide Half-life ~56 hours Stronger receptor activation than retatrutide in vitro Suggests potential for the first powerful oral triple agonist—worth watching. ️ 3. Discussion of the Gray Market / TikTok Experience Dave briefly recounts losing his TikTok account and landing in an algorithm filled with teenagers promoting gray-market “retatrutide.” Expresses concern over unregulated peptide sales, especially to minors. Fractal Health's New Data – Weight Maintenance After Stopping GLP-1s New results from the Reveal One study (Fractal Health). Participants: lost 24% of body weight on GLP-1s → stopped injections → got one Revita procedure. At 6 months post-GLP-1 discontinuation: Weight changed only 1.5% (vs. ~10% regain in typical off-drug trials) HbA1c barely shifted Safety profile clean Suggests possible long-term weight maintenance without injections through gut mucosal re-lining. Dave describes his own recent attempt to switch drugs and significant hunger return. Food Noise & Biologic Hunger Dave discusses how stopping Mounjaro caused terrifying, primal hunger. Describes the distinction between: Food noise (brain-based thoughts) Hunger signals (biological/animalistic) Reinforces why many patients cannot maintain weight loss without support. Zepbound (Tirzepatide) Cash-Pay Price Reductions Eli Lilly drops cash-pay vial pricing: 2.5 mg: $349 → $299 5 mg: $499 → $399 7.5–15 mg: $499 → $449 Community feedback (informal poll): Most say still too high to leave compounded versions. Many would switch to branded if price hit $200–$300. Dave notes the Most Favored Nations agreement will push GLP-1 prices toward $250/month within 24 months. Alzheimer's Study (Novo Nordisk – EVOKE & EVOKE+) Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus, 14 mg) did not slow Alzheimer's clinical progression. Biomarkers improved but daily function and cognitive decline did not improve vs placebo. Important context: Oral Rybelsus is a weak form of semaglutide; stronger versions (like Wegovy 2.4 mg or upcoming high-dose oral Wegovy) not tested. Weight loss is not desirable in Alzheimer's patients, influencing drug selection. Dave emphasizes: This was a nearly $700M trial and an act of scientific courage. This is NOT the end of GLP-1 Alzheimer's research. Future molecules may target neurological pathways without suppressing appetite. Mentions Lilly's brenipatide, a GIP receptor agonist being developed for: Addiction Opioid dependency Possibly asthma ️ 8. Access, Cost, and Patient Empowerment Highlights Shed as a partner offering telehealth GLP-1 access. Notes many patients hide GLP-1 use from their primary care doctors. Reinforces OTP's mission: better, more honest conversations with clinicians. Shapa (Numberless Scale) & Dave's Personal Update Dave explains how the Shapa numberless scale helped him stay engaged during weight fluctuations. Finds stepping on “zones” (green/gray/blue) less emotionally damaging than numbers. Closing Notes Promises upcoming Eli Lilly savings card update.

What if your Big Bend trip started with stillness? We kick off a West Texas series by dropping into Marathon, a tiny town that appears like a mirage after miles of open desert—and turns out to be the smartest basecamp for exploring Big Bend National Park. With guest insights from Samuel, guest services manager at the Gage Resort and Spa, we unpack how a 1927 hotel became an oasis of warm wood, courtyards, and gardens where the noise of the world finally lets go.gagehotel.com We trace the property's roots from Alfred Gage's original build to JP Bryan's restoration and careful expansion, including Los Portales rooms, casitas, and the historic Captain Shepherd House. Samuel walks us through the event-ready Gage Gardens, where desert chic meets rose-lined paths, and explains why weddings here feel close-knit and unhurried. Need recovery after a canyon day? The spa delivers massages, facials, an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, steam room, and an infrared sauna, with a full gym included for guests.Food lovers get plenty to savor. The White Buffalo Bar pairs a legendary mount with a standout prickly pear margarita. 12 Gage serves contemporary American with West Texas flair, while Ghost Fire Pizza fires sourdough pies in a Napoli oven, and Brick Vault Brewery and Barbecue brings weekend smoke and house beer. Mornings belong to V6 Coffee for roastery-fresh drinks, hearty breakfasts, and boxed lunches for the park—because inside Big Bend, options are limited.We share practical trip planning: why Marathon's 45-minute run to the park entrance is a fair trade for comfort and culture, how to structure a two to three day stay, and where to fly (Midland–Odessa commercially, with private options nearby). Along the way, expect stories of quiet balconies, birds in old trees, and the kind of community warmth that makes you think, I could live here. If West Texas has been on your list—or if it's never crossed your mind—this guide will make you see the desert differently.Enjoyed the story and the tips?

A little late… but worth the wait.

The November All In For Citrus podcast takes a trip around the globe. Faculty from the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) join the show to describe citrus production in regions outside of the United States. Michael Rogers, director of the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center, gives an update on citrus in the Caribbean and how UF/IFAS scientists collaborate with colleagues in those countries to advance citrus production knowledge. The podcast also provides updates on citrus production in South America, Brazil, the Indian subcontinent, Israel, Africa and the Mediterranean. One of the key takeaway messages from the episode is that sharing knowledge with other production regions benefits all citrus growers globally. UF/IFAS scientists say that, in most cases, U.S. citrus producers can gain beneficial knowledge by following what is happening in other parts of the world. Flavia Zambon, UF/IFAS assistant professor, gives an update on citrus in her home country of Brazil. The world's largest citrus producer has begun to feel the bite of HLB more acutely in recent years. In addition, an ongoing drought in Brazil is challenging citrus production. Tripti Vashisth, UF/IFAS associate professor, discusses citrus production on the Indian subcontinent. Interestingly, growers in that part of the world have been dealing with HLB for more than 100 years but have remained relatively productive. Vashisth said that is due in part to the region's better soils and production practices. The podcast is a partnership between UF/IFAS and AgNet Media.

“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher. All is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2 As a philosopher I have loved the great tradition of human wisdom. For many years I drank from the tributaries. Aristotle taught that the good life is something one lives, not something one acquires. Socrates taught that wisdom begins in humility. These insights nourished me long before I realized they were preparing me to recognize the far greater wisdom God has given in Scripture. The Greek thinkers stood downstream from a fountain they dimly sensed but could not reach. The book of Ecclesiastes speaks from that very source. Qoheleth, קהלת, the Assembler, often called the Preacher, gathers what God has revealed about life in this world. He describes the human condition with a single Hebrew word: hevel, breath, vapor. Not meaninglessness, but ungraspability - and paradox. Life slips through the fingers of those who try to seize it, and understanding reaches its limit in paradox. What cannot be possessed must be received. What we cannot control must become ours by gift. And this is why Ecclesiastes so often speaks the language of generosity. Work is a gift. Food and drink are gifts. Joy is gift. Companionship is gift. Time itself is gift. The Preacher calls us to leave behind the restless striving that characterizes life in the tributaries, and to return instead to the fountain where every good and perfect gift flows from the hand of the Giver. He also tells us something our age urgently needs to hear. There is nothing new under the sun. Our modern confidence in our own progress (central to the evolutionary mythos) is little more than hubris. We imagine ourselves advanced beyond our “primitive” forebears, yet our world repeats the same patterns of confusion and pride. Postmodern deconstruction, gender confusion, DEI initiatives, and cultural relativism are not new. They are ancient errors retold in new vocabulary. Ecclesiastes understood the human heart long before our age attempted to deconstruct it. Near the end of the book the imagery sharpens. “The words of the wise are like goads,” given by one Shepherd to guide us back toward the fountain of wisdom. When the risen Jesus confronted Saul and said, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads,” Paul, deeply trained in Greek language and philosophy, recognized the proverb immediately. The Shepherd's mercy often comes to us as a sharp turn, redirecting us from the dry channels of self-reliance back to the living waters of God Himself. The book ends where all honest searching must end. Fear God. Keep His commandments. Receive His gifts with gratitude. This is the whole duty of man, the culmination not only of the Bible's wisdom literature, but of every sincere philosophical quest. I wandered long among the tributaries, but Scripture led me home to the Fount of every blessing and tuned my heart to sing His grace. Here is a helpful overview of Ecclesiastes. May your listening be as blessed as ours was in the reading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrsQ1tc-2w

Food safety officers have today been at the Christchurch school which yesterday was delivered rotten and stinky meals as part of the Government's school lunch programme. Haeata Community Campus, which covers from year one to 13, received dozens of meals which staff say were covered in mould and smelt rancid. A number of investigations are underway into what went wrong, including by MPI and the supplier Compass. Rachel Graham has more. 

Ever wonder why some people seem naturally gifted at music? It turns out your personality may have more to do with musical ability than you think. This episode begins with research identifying which personality traits actually predict innate musical potential — and which ones don't. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/10/151013135831.htm Are we too worried about getting scammed? Most of us would rather lose money through an honest mistake than fall victim to a con — and that hyper-vigilance affects far more of our decision-making than we realize. My guest, Tess Wilkinson-Ryan, a University of Pennsylvania law professor and psychologist, argues that our fear of “being the sucker” often makes us worse off. She is the author of Fool Proof: How Fear of Playing the Sucker Shapes Our Selves and the Social Order–And What We Can Do About It (https://amzn.to/3jMqrfo). She explains why this deeply human fear is so powerful — and how putting it in perspective can make us happier, more confident, and even more generous. Food brings out some strong and unusual beliefs. Some people insist eggplant is dangerous… others worry that burnt toast or charred meat causes cancer… and many assume artificial sweeteners wreak havoc on gut bacteria. To separate fact from fiction, I speak with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society and author of 19 books, including his latest, Better Not Burn Your Toast: The Science of Food and Health (https://amzn.to/3JMmYe3). He breaks down what's real, what's rumor, and what you actually need to know to eat smarter. Finally, what's the right way to stay warm in cold weather? Is it true that you lose most of your body heat through your head? We look at the real science of staying warm, avoiding frostbite, and protecting yourself when temperatures drop. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2025/01/03/what-cold-weather-does-to-the-body-and-how-to-protect-yourself-this-winter PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Narrator: Simon Mattacks

Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn't fixed by a full night's sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto's Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- A Washington Post report states that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a series of deadly strikes on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, ordering military officials to “kill everybody.” The directive, according to the report, led to a second strike killing several crew members that survived the initial assault on the vessel. 6:20pm- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner, and Johns Hopkins surgeon, Dr. Marty Makary weighed in on a theory that Lyme disease may have originated from a bioweapons laboratory. 6:40pm- In her latest editorial for The New York Post, Miranda Devine writes that a “damning report” labels the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a “rudderless ship” and “all f*cked up” under the leadership of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. The report alleges that Bongino has an “unfortunate obsession with social media.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/01/2025): 3:05pm- The man allegedly responsible for shooting two National Guard members had been granted asylum from Afghanistan. While on Meet the Press, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem said initial investigations suggest the man became radicalized while in the United States. 3:10pm- In her latest editorial for The New York Post, Miranda Devine writes that a “damning report” labels the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a “rudderless ship” and “all f*cked up” under the leadership of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. The report alleges that Bongino has an “unfortunate obsession with social media.” 3:30pm- A report from Ernesto Londono of The New York Times documents rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota—dozens of people have been charged with stealing more than $1 billion in taxpayer money from programs meant to feed hungry children and provide therapy for autistic children. Critics of Governor Tim Walz say his administration allowed the fraud to persist “partly because state officials were fearful of alienating the Somali community” who were largely responsible for the scams. 3:50pm- It's finally here! “Be Nice to Matt DeSantis Week” kicks off. Earlier this year, Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump—donated money to the Travis Manion Foundation during 1210 WPHT's fundraiser in exchange for Rich guaranteeing he would be nice to Matt for one full week before the end of the year. 4:05pm- A report from Ernesto Londono of The New York Times documents rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota—dozens of people have been charged with stealing more than $1 billion in taxpayer money from programs meant to feed hungry children and provide therapy for autistic children. Critics of Governor Tim Walz say his administration allowed the fraud to persist “partly because state officials were fearful of alienating the Somali community” who were largely responsible for the scams. 4:15pm- Is even Europe getting sick of far-left taxation policies? On Sunday, Switzerland rejected a referendum that would have placed a 50% inheritance tax on assets above 50 million Swiss francs, or about $62 million. 4:40pm- TV recommendations: Death by Lightning on Netflix—which is based on Candece Millard's book on the assassination of President James Garfield. 5:05pm- The man allegedly responsible for shooting two National Guard members had been granted asylum from Afghanistan. While on Meet the Press, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem said initial investigations suggest the man became radicalized while in the United States.

Patrick Morrisey said Wolfe was responsive on Monday. 5:25pm- Last month, while speaking from the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused several Republicans including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of taking campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein. However, her claim was horribly misleading. The donations were from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein—a different Jeffery Epstein, with no relation to the predator. Astoundingly, Crockett recently doubled down on her outlandish claims during a segment on MS Now. 5:40pm- Linda Kerns calls in to outline the rules for “Be Nice to Matt Week”—so far, Rich has violated every instruction. 6:00pm- A Washington Post report states that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a series of deadly strikes on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, ordering military officials to “kill everybody.” The directive, according to the report, led to a second strike killing several crew members that survived the initial assault on the vessel. 6:20pm- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner, and Johns Hopkins surgeon, Dr. Marty Makary weighed in on a theory that ...
