This week we discuss changing the outcome of your health with nutrition & exercise.  Our guest today is Dr. James Thompson, the author of Fearless Wellness and a passionate advocate for transformational change. He completed medical training 35 years ago and has dedicated my career to empowering others to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.  ​He experienced a life-changing event in 2012 and participated in a 21-day Daniel Fast with my church community. Though the three-week diet, equivalent to a whole food plant-based diet, was intended to emphasize prayer, the impact of the food intrigued him. By the end of the second week, he had more energy, fewer joint aches, more mental clarity, better sleep, and lower blood pressure. He surmised the benefits were mainly from consuming real food and omitting processed food.  He decided to take a year-long certification course in integrative holistic nutrition which was the start of his transformation to a whole food plant-based lifestyle. His training course, combined with a decade of studying nutrition science, love of animals, and concerns about climate change, has led me to the current space where he resides, a vegan. ​Here is the basic outline  & links to his Blog and his new book : "FEARLESS Wellness: Transform Your Life, One Step at a Time" F – Food: Embrace plant-based eating E – Exercise: Stay active regularly A – Avoid toxins: Eliminate harmful habits (e.g., tobacco) R – Restorative sleep: Prioritize quality rest L – Lessen stress: Manage and reduce daily pressures E – Engage your mind: Stimulate mental growth S – Social energy: Cultivate empathy and connections S – Spiritual connectivity: Foster a sense of purpose and belonging ​

Foster  @zacharyfoster7426 joins Faust for a groundbreaking deep dive into the hidden history of Zionism: from its roots in eugenics and racial nationalism to its modern entanglement with U.S. power and propaganda, in episode 223 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Dr. Zachary J. Foster is a Senior Law Fellow at the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights. He holds an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown University and a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University. He is the founder of the digital archive Palestine Nexus and writes the newsletter “Palestine, in Your Inbox.” His work appears in international outlets including Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, and TRT, Turkey's national public broadcaster.Together, Faust and Dr. Foster dismantle the myths behind Israel's founding — tracing how early Zionist leaders rejected Jewish refugees, collaborated with anti-Semitic regimes, and built selective immigration policies rooted in eugenic ideology. They connect the dots between the Balfour Declaration, the Haavara Agreement, and today's militarized state, exposing how a movement sold as liberation became a vehicle for control.They unpack how propaganda, psychological conditioning, and religious distortion have shaped Israeli and Western consciousness alike, and ask the hardest question of all: What happens when victimhood becomes identity, and ideology becomes dogma?In this explosive conversation:

Foster, a retired police lieutenant and author, to discuss his journey through multiple careers, his experiences with Freemasonry, and his latest book, "The Temple Within." Foster shares insights into Masonic education, the importance of storytelling, and the philosophical exploration of free will and destiny. The conversation goes deep into the duality of nature, the role of rituals, and the significance of personal responsibility in shaping one's life.TakeawaysFreemasonry offers a transformative journey for its members.Education is crucial in understanding Masonic rituals and symbols.Modern spirituality often lacks the mystical experiences people seek.Storytelling is a powerful tool for imparting wisdom and lessons.Magic and rituals are essential for personal growth and understanding.The duality of existence is necessary for appreciating life.Free will and personal responsibility are intertwined in our lives.Death is a natural part of life, and how we live matters more than how we die.The Temple Within serves as a metaphor for self-discovery and growth.Asking 'why' leads to deeper understanding than simply asking 'what'.Raymond E.

10/24/2025 - Jeff Zweerink -on teaching science to kids to foster faith and curiosity

President Trump told Time Magazine that he will soon decide whether to press Israel to release Marwan Barghouti from prison. Doing so is being portrayed as a step towards an alternative to Hamas and consistent with our interests and efforts to promote peace in Gaza and regionally. In fact, unleashing Barghouti – a jihadist serving multiple life sentences for his involvement in the murder of five Israelis – would add immeasurably to the narrative that those who are, like him, committed to the destruction of Israel have won.  A truth-telling briefing by American and Israeli experts yesterday warned of the already-great dangers for both our countries of reinforcing that perception.  Sharia-supremacists, notably the leaders of so-called “allies” Qatar and Turkey, will simply intensify their double-game of using the President's “20 Points” deal to pursue what is, in fact, a truly “endless war” against Western civilization.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kash Rocheleau, CEO of Icon Foods, Inc.. She discusses the importance of mentorship, fostering cultures of ownership and transparency, and explains why real growth occurs when we step outside our comfort zones. In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of supportive mentors in your life. Seek out people who champion your goals and remind you of your strengths during challenges; even one person who believes in you can turn obstacles into opportunities.  Lean into self-reliance but also understand when collaboration is important. Balancing independence with the ability to ask for help allows you to own your journey while benefiting from collective wisdom, a dynamic that improves both personal and professional relationships.  Embrace your imperfections as valuable leadership assets. When you let go of perfectionism and openly admit your mistakes, it demonstrates authenticity that naturally builds trust and boosts team morale. Remember, vulnerability can often be your greatest strength.  Foster cultures of ownership and transparency wherever you are. Whether as a leader or team member, contributing to an environment where people feel responsible for outcomes creates a sense of pride and belonging that benefits everyone. Reexamine the personal “ceilings” you accept or create in your life. Believe that your potential is not capped by others but by yourself, and seek (or become) the kind of support that encourages ambition, so you always have the permission to grow. RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Kash Rocheleau is the CEO of Icon Foods, a leading supplier of clean-label sweetening systems and functional ingredients for the food and beverage industry.
