Longer lives bring new changes and with the right strategy, those changes don't have to limit how you feel or function.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) with clarity and perspective. An enlarged prostate is often a normal part of aging, not a signal of cancer or immediate danger. The real question is how much does it affect daily life, and what can be done to manage it intelligently? He focuses on what actually moves the needle. Inflammation, body fat, and metabolic health play a central role in prostate growth and urinary symptoms, not testosterone levels. He breaks down practical steps like reduce excess body fat, managing inflammatory triggers, supporting the body with targeted antioxidants, and giving any intervention enough time to work.Rethink what's “normal,” and take one step today that improves how you live tomorrow.

The train-related traffic delays in Portland — especially in the city’s inner east side — have gotten worse and more frequent in recent years. As rail transportation consultant Bill Burgel told Willamette Week, that’s in large part because the average length of a freight train has doubled. Trains used to be 7,500 feet, and now they’re commonly 15,000 feet or more. As a former employee of Union Pacific with 50 years of experience in the rail industry, and as a member of the city’s Freight Committee, Burgel pays close attention to these delays. And he has some structural ideas to solve or alleviate the delays that regularly last an hour or more. We sit down with Burgel to understand all the factors behind these mind-blowing delays and more about possible solutions.

After significant drought in many parts of Florida, some much-needed rainfall began in May as the rainy season approaches. That seasonal transition, from a grove management perspective, is the focus of the May episode of the All In For Citrus podcast. Michael Rogers, director of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center, reminds growers that spring is a critical time of year to manage the fruit set occurring in groves for next season's crop. He emphasizes the importance of proper irrigation and fertigation during mid-May as drought conditions persist, noting that grower decisions now will determine fruit set and yields for the rest of the year. Without adequate fertilizer applications during this window, fruit will not size up properly, and fruit retention will be reduced. Frequent irrigation during the dry period is critical to help trees meet the demands of the fruit set period and avoid stress. Sandra Guzmán, UF/IFAS assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering, offers a timely discussion on a software platform she and her team have developed called IrrigMonitor. The system helps growers determine optimal watering times to avoid both over-irrigation and under-irrigation during drought or rainy periods. The software works with tools like soil moisture sensors and weather stations that growers already have on their farms. Guzmán said IrrigMonitor is a decision support platform designed to help growers determine whether trees need water based on combined data from soil moisture, weather forecasts and irrigation schedules. She describes the tool as a "weather app for irrigation" that provides real-time guidance for irrigation decisions. For growers interested in learning more about IrrigMonitor, Guzmán can be contacted at sandra.guzmangut@ufl.edu. Also in the May podcast, Fernando Alferez, UF/IFAS associate professor of citrus horticulture, shares new data from his research on the use of individual protective covers (IPCs) and brassinosteroids to protect and rejuvenate trees impacted by HLB. He also discusses new research data on citrus canker management. The podcast is a partnership between UF/IFAS and AgNet Media.

It sounds counterintuitive at first, that you can maintain a lower average water content in the soil, and a higher air content in the soil, by applying irrigation every day. Once upon a time, I thought the way to keep soils drier and with more air was to implement deep and infrequent irrigation. The blog post discussed is: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/deep-and-infrequent-or-light-and-frequent-irrigation-which-is-better/I also mentioned John Jordan's research, see: https://tic.msu.edu/tgif/flink/RECNO/59354Paul Johnson article about irrigation frequency: https://usgatero.lib.msu.edu/v02/n06.pdfRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/
Subscribe in: Apple Podcast | iPhone | Spotify | Pandora | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio | YouTube If you have ever finished a round of EFT tapping and found yourself yawning uncontrollably, you are not imagining things. In 18 years of working with clients, this question lands in my inbox almost every single month. It is actually one of the top search terms that brings new readers to TappingQandA.com. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Yawning, burping, and stomach gurgles after a tapping round are all signs that your body shifted out of fight-or-flight mode and into its natural rest-and-restore state. The human nervous system operates in two distinct modes: the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). EFT tapping moves you from the first into the second. When the digestive system comes back online after a stress response, it produces physical signals including yawns, burps, farts, and stomach rumbles. You do not need to yawn for tapping to have worked. The absence of a yawn is not evidence that nothing changed. These physical responses are among the most common questions people search before finding this site, which tells us that tappers everywhere share this experience and wonder what it means. Why Do I Yawn After Tapping? The Short Answer Yawning after a round of EFT tapping means your nervous system just made a real, measurable shift. It moved out of sympathetic activation (the stress state) and into parasympathetic activation (the recovery state), and your body is announcing that transition out loud. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), commonly called tapping, involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and upper body while focusing on an emotional issue. Some of the earliest peer-reviewed research on tapping demonstrated that it reduces cortisol, the primary stress hormone produced during fight-or-flight activation. When cortisol drops and the sympathetic response de-escalates, the parasympathetic nervous system takes over. That handoff produces a cascade of physical changes, and yawning is one of the most visible. Key insight: "The yawn is your body's way of resetting its state. It is the system literally changing shape from the inside to signal that the danger has passed." What Are the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems? The human nervous system runs in two modes that cannot operate simultaneously. Your body is always choosing between them based on its read of your environment. The sympathetic nervous system governs fight or flight. When the brain perceives a threat, physical or emotional, it floods the body with adrenaline and cortisol. Heart rate climbs. Pupils dilate to take in more visual information. Oxygen is pushed to your limbs so you can run or fight. Digestion shuts down almost entirely, because processing food is a waste of resources when a threat is nearby. Some people experience the extreme version of this when they go blank before a presentation or job interview. The capillaries in the brain constrict as oxygen is rerouted to the muscles, which is why all the answers you forgot come flooding back the moment you walk out the door and the threat passes. The parasympathetic nervous system governs rest, repair, and digestion. Heart rate drops. Pupils contract to sharpen focus. The digestive system powers back on. Growth and maintenance processes resume. You can learn more about how the nervous system connects to emotional healing in Pod #482, where I talked through the full picture with Dr. Jen Cincurak, a naturopathic doctor whose work centers on nervous system maturation and somatic tools including tapping. Why Tapping Triggers the Shift from Stress to Rest Tapping moves the body from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation by sending a calming signal through the acupressure system while you hold a stressful thought or feeling in mind. The combination of cognitive focus and physical tapping interrupts the fight-or-flight loop. Key insight: "What tapping does is give the nervous system new information. It says: you can be present with this emotion without being in danger because of it." The early body of scientific research on tapping, including studies that measured cortisol in saliva before and after sessions, showed measurable decreases in the stress hormone within a single session. That biological change is not metaphorical. It is the same shift the body makes when a frightening situation resolves and you let out a long exhale. Tapping makes it available on purpose, for emotional material the nervous system has been holding in stress mode for days, months, or years. For a deeper look at the evidence behind why tapping produces these effects, Why Tapping Works: Six Evidence-Based Premises covers the research base in plain language. What Causes the Yawning, Burping, and Stomach Gurgles? When the parasympathetic nervous system takes over, every system that was put on hold during the stress response comes back online at once. That re-activation is not silent. The yawn is a physical resetting of the throat and airway, part of the body recalibrating its breathing pattern as it relaxes. It is not about being sleepy (though it can feel that way). It is the airway itself changing shape as surrounding muscles release tension. The burps, farts, and stomach gurgles are the digestive system restarting. During fight or flight, digestion goes essentially offline. The moment the parasympathetic system takes over, digestion turns back on like an engine starting up after sitting cold. It makes noise. It produces gas. That is not a malfunction. That is the machinery doing exactly what it is supposed to do. This connects to broader patterns around what happens in the body during emotional healing, a topic I explored in depth with Julie Schiffman in an early episode on physical body signals. Does Not Yawning Mean Tapping Did Not Work? No. The absence of a yawn after tapping does not mean nothing happened. Key insight: "The yawn is one sign that the shift occurred. It is not the only sign, and its absence is not evidence of failure." Yawning signals the sympathetic-to-parasympathetic transition when it is large enough to produce a physical response, but subtler or more gradual shifts may not trigger visible physical signals. Some sessions produce a quiet settling rather than a dramatic physical announcement. Some people rarely yawn at all, regardless of what their nervous system is doing. I have worked with clients who felt genuinely deflated after a session because they did not yawn the way they had in earlier rounds. They assumed that meant the session did not work. In most cases, they had already done significant work on the issue previously, and the remaining shifts were quieter. Quieter does not mean smaller. If you are wondering whether your tapping is actually producing results, Pod #703 on why you might feel worse after a round of tapping addresses exactly that concern in detail. Other Physical Signs That Tapping Is Working Yawning is the most commonly noticed signal, but it belongs to a larger family of parasympathetic indicators. After a productive tapping round, you might also notice a deep sigh or a long exhale that seems to come out of nowhere. A shift in the weight of your shoulders or a release of tension in your jaw. A brief wave of tiredness as the nervous system moves out of high alert and the body relaxes toward its resting state. Occasionally a sudden need to use the bathroom, which is the GI tract re-engaging. None of these are problems. They are the body doing its job, communicating in the language it was designed to use. If you have ever felt oddly emotional right after a round of tapping and wondered whether something went wrong, Pod #695 on why you feel sad after tapping walks through the same nervous-system logic applied to emotional release. The Five Stress Responses and What They Mean for Tapping Most people know fight or flight, but the sympathetic nervous system actually produces five distinct stress responses, sometimes called the five Fs: fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn. Fight and flight are the most familiar. Freeze is what happens when the threat is so overwhelming that movement seems impossible. Flop is a more extreme collapse response. Fawn is the social version, appeasing and accommodating to neutralize the threat through relationship. All five of these states share the same underlying biochemistry: cortisol, adrenaline, constricted digestion, elevated heart rate, redirected blood flow. And all five can be the state your nervous system is carrying when you sit down to tap on an emotional issue. Key insight: "Every one of those five stress responses is the body trying to keep you safe. Tapping gives the system the signal that the danger has passed and it is safe to stand down." This is why tapping can produce the same yawning and digestive reset regardless of whether the original stress was acute fear, chronic people-pleasing, or old frozen shock. The body's exit route from all five states runs through the same parasympathetic doorway, and the yawn on the other side is the same yawn. What to Do When You Notice These Physical Signals After Tapping When you notice a yawn, a burp, or a gurgle during or after tapping, you do not need to do anything special. Simply acknowledge it as confirmation that your nervous system is responding. A few practices that support this process: Pause after the physical signal. When you yawn or feel a release, give yourself 30 seconds to breathe and let the shift settle before moving on. Notice what changed emotionally. After the signal, check in with the issue you were tapping on. Does it feel different? Smaller? More distant? This is your informal SUDS (Subjective Units of Distress Scale) check, which is the standard 0 to 10 measure of emotional intensity used in EFT. Do not chase the yawn. Tapping longer or harder specifically to produce more yawning is unnecessary. If the yawn happened, the shift happened. Trust it. Keep a short log. Some tappers find it helpful to note physical signals alongside their emotional observations after a session. Over time this builds self-knowledge about how your particular nervous system signals change. If you want a structured way to use tapping consistently and build on these kinds of shifts day by day, 365TappingLessons.com offers a full year of guided sessions built around exactly this kind of body-informed practice. Frequently Asked Questions Why do I yawn so much when I do EFT tapping? Yawning during or after EFT tapping is your nervous system shifting from sympathetic activation (fight or flight) to parasympathetic activation (rest and digest). This shift causes a physical reset in the throat and airway, which produces yawning. Frequent yawning during tapping typically means your sessions are moving significant stored stress through your system. Is yawning after tapping a good sign? Yes. Yawning after tapping is a positive indicator that your nervous system made a genuine transition from a stress state into a recovery state. It is not coincidence. It is the body responding to the biochemical shift that tapping creates. What does it mean when my stomach gurgles during tapping? Stomach gurgles during tapping mean your digestive system is coming back online after being suppressed by a stress response. During fight or flight, digestion essentially shuts down to conserve energy. When tapping moves you into a parasympathetic state, digestion restarts and produces audible sounds. This is a healthy, normal response. Does not yawning mean tapping is not working? No. You can have a highly effective tapping session with no yawning at all. Yawning signals the parasympathetic shift when it is large enough to produce a visible physical response, but subtler shifts may not trigger it. Judge the effectiveness of a session by how the emotional issue feels afterward, not by whether you yawned. Can tapping make you feel tired? Yes, and for a good reason. Coming out of a sustained stress state, even a low-grade chronic one, requires the nervous system to recalibrate. When the parasympathetic system takes over after tapping, the body sometimes relaxes into a brief wave of tiredness. This is normal and typically passes within a few minutes. What are the five F stress responses and how does tapping address them? The five stress responses are fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn. All five are expressions of the sympathetic nervous system triggered by perceived danger. Tapping works across all five because it addresses the underlying biochemistry (cortisol, adrenaline, restricted digestion) rather than any one specific behavioral expression of stress. Is there research showing tapping reduces the stress response? Yes. Some of the earliest peer-reviewed studies on EFT measured cortisol levels before and after tapping sessions and found significant reductions within a single session. This physiological evidence supports what tappers report experientially: that tapping produces a measurable shift in the body's stress state, not just a change in perspective.

Frequent personal attacks among politicians, the tense redistricting wars, and the midterm campaigns that will follow will give many the impression of a country deeply divided. And in some ways it certainly is, with robust differences over an awful lot of policies. But in his new book, The Case For America, FOX News Chief Political Anchor and Host of Special Report Bret Baier argues that the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence serves as a reminder of how a group of people with strong political differences unified to found the nation. Bret recently spoke about that on the FOX News Rundown with host Dave Anthony this past week, explaining why he is hopeful about America's future despite the challenging times we currently face. Baier also weighed in on the Iran conflict and how its political fallout could impact the coming midterms.

Hi, Jenn, and welcome to The Awaken Your wise woman podcast. Thank you for having me. So nice to have you on board here, for the listeners who don't know who you are, could you share a little bit about yourself and the work that you do?“What I would say to deep, profound feelers, is that we are capable of doing hard and impossible things, and we are capable of sitting with hard and impossible feelings.” — Jenn RapkinEmotions are called feelings for a reason. Frequent deep or strong emotions can seem overwhelming. When they do, our first reaction is often to turn to our mind, to try to think our way out of those uncomfortable feelings. In doing so, we may be overlooking a powerful tool that can help us ride the waves of strong emotions: our bodies. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Dr. Jenn Rapkin, ND, author of The Feeling Muscle, for a discussion of frequent feelers, high sensitivity, big emotions and our bodies. They talk about how body work can complement the other work we are doing and what physical practices and sensations can teach us.

Frequent guest host David Horton interviews the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, about his five years in France between 1784 and 1789. After the death of his wife in 1782, Jefferson permitted his closest friend, James Madison, to propose that he be sent to Europe to negotiate commercial treaties. When Jefferson assimilated his diplomatic post, Dr. Benjamin Franklin finally retired and returned to the United States. At that point, Jefferson became the American Minister to the Court of Louis XVI, which he called a school in humility after the legendary Franklin ceased to grace the French court. Jefferson worked hard to open markets to American products, especially tobacco. Before he returned to the United States in 1789 to become the first Secretary of State, Jefferson witnessed the beginnings of the French Revolution, which he defended for the rest of his life, including the excesses of what is called the Reign of Terror. This episode was recorded on February 25, 2026.
Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas, Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters It was great. Like any day you spend at Jazz Fest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was Sunday, April 26, 2026. Hot, humid and beautiful. I got to see the tail end of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers set. I really enjoyed hearing them play! Then I finally got to see Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters live and in person. Dopsie is a performer who channels James Brown with unimaginable energy. He brings a relentless drive to the washboard and managed to keep the crowd in a state of constant motion. Next, I had the privilege of seeing the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas once again. There is a profound sincerity in her voice. There's no one quite like her. She shared a poignant moment with the audience, noting that while she may have never had a million-selling record, but she has millions of fans. We all cherish what she does. The day concluded with a headline performance by Rod Stewart. Seeing a legend of his stature in the context of the Fair Grounds was something I won't forget. He delivered a set that felt like both a grand finale and a celebration of showmanship in the classic sense. Rod and his band moved seamlessly from hit to hit. And you could tell he had a genuine appreciation for the festival atmosphere and the city. I heard a lot of music! From the sounds of Mento and Zydeco to the world-renowned icons on the main stage, the 2026 festival was like all the other days of Jazz Fest I've witnessed. It was a day of phenomenal performances that personified the New Orleans spirit.

Who is Sayed Mohammed Marandi? Professor at Tehran University. Political Analyst. Frequent guest on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Podcast…. Judging Freedom. 2 Clips posted by Professor Marandi, or by an AI Hacker in Professor Marandi’s name. Claims that Iran launched 400 Hawsong 18 ICBM’s several nights ago, (early morning hours), and struck their intended targets in the Persian Gulf… sinking 3 U.S. Aircraft Carriers…. The Harry S. Truman, The Eisenhower, and the Gerald R. Ford. The Fate of 17,000 Sailors is unknown. It appears that this clip as well as today’s video is a FAKE. I am deeply upset by this.

- Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing- How Delayed Fertilizer Shipments Threaten 2027 Yields- Drew Lerner, World Weather IncThe April 15, 2026, commodity markets closed with marginal gains in corn, soybeans, and wheat futures amidst widespread U.S. planting delays. Frequent precipitation across the Midwest has stalled fieldwork, though regions such as southern Illinois have advanced, planting up to half of their soybean crop. Market behavior remains subdued; producers are deferring new crop sales due to stagnant mid-range prices, relying heavily on domestic crush capacity while waiting for necessary improvements in global export and domestic livestock demand.Simultaneously, severe logistical bottlenecks in the Persian Gulf threaten the global fertilizer supply chain following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The region, responsible for 18% of global fertilizer exports, currently holds over 40 laden vessels unable to exit. This blockage has triggered an immediate spike in nitrogen and phosphate prices and forced major global producers, including Morocco, China, and Russia, to limit their own exports to protect domestic markets. The resulting scarcity is expected to constrain global agricultural yields through the 2027 harvest.Global weather conditions further complicate the agricultural production outlook. In the U.S., the Hard Red Winter Wheat crop in the High Plains faces detrimental impacts from persistent drought and extreme temperature volatility, including impending freezes, while the Corn Belt remains oversaturated by ongoing storms. Conversely, favorable spring conditions are reported across Europe and the Black Sea regions. In Asia, India's winter harvest benefits from dry weather, with the upcoming monsoon expected to start strong despite a developing El Niño, while China's rapeseed crop faces severe quality degradation from excessive moisture. ★ Support this podcast ★

LESSON 95I Am One Self, United With My Creator.Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which is united with Its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today.The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance.Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention, you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation.Structure, then, is necessary for you at this time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent, and who remain heavily defended against learning.We will, therefore, keep to the five-minutes-an-hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is; a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again.The Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence, and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength, and are confusing strength with weakness.When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:I am one Self, united with my Creator,at one with every aspect of creation,and limitless in power and in peace.Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas:I am one Self.Repeat this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey.You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself.You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you.Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible, and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.Your own acknowledgment you are one Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today, be sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this:You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self.I honor you because of What I am, and What He is,Who loves us both as one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
Frequent guest host David Horton welcomes Thomas Jefferson to the podcast to discuss political theater and State of the Union addresses. Although Jefferson was a master of political theater, he chose not to take his annual State of the Union messages in person to Congress. He sent his messages by courier and assumed Congress would study them at their convenience. After Jefferson makes his views clear, Clay Jenkinson breaks character to discuss the uses and abuses of modern State of the Union addresses. It was Ronald Reagan who began the tradition of the president pointing to extraordinary Americans in the gallery to honor their service and sacrifices, or to lament their sufferings. Donald Trump's recent 2026 State of the Union Message was much more like a reality television show than anything in previous administrations, including a sustained celebration of the U.S. Olympic hockey program. This program was recorded on February 25, 2026.
From Barbara Robertson What is 2nd Night Syndrome? 2nd-night syndrome is a common feature of newborn behavior. It typically occurs on the 2nd night after birth, when the baby’s behavior shifts from sleepiness to greater wakefulness, often asking to nurse frequently. Our colleague, Jan Barger, has discussed this. In her description of this she says, “All of a sudden, your little one discovers that he's no longer back in the warmth and comfort – though a bit crowded – womb where he has spent the last 9 months – and it is SCARY out here!” No wonder babies are upset!” Correct! Infants are upset, but our takeaway message to families is that this is normal and your baby is fine. And, happily, there are things you can do that may help. What does 2nd Night Syndrome look like? The key sign of this is that the baby wants to be held continually and nursed frequently. This is expected behavior. The baby is shifting from being fed through the umbilical cord and held constantly in the womb, to now needing to eat themselves and realizing they are not always being held. People often classify this behavior as “fussy” or “starving”. Suzanne Colson discussed infants needing to transition from the womb to the world. The baby was warm, fed, and cuddled 24/7 in the womb, and in Western society, we tend to try to put the baby down, away from us, to sleep. As the baby becomes more alert, they instinctively know this isn’t where they belong. They are safest in their birthing parent’s arm, right next to their food source for easy access. The baby may appear more wakeful, irritable, and cry more frequently. They want to cluster-feed, nursing for long periods of time and/or in short, frequent bursts, especially in the evening or at night. Again, they seek constant contact and to be held. What are the theories as to why Second Night Syndrome is happening? To begin with, as mentioned, there is a significant environmental adjustment for infants. They go from a warm, cozy, noisy, dark womb to the world where noise, light, and temperature are inconsistent and often unpleasant. This change can be overwhelming for a baby. Babies in the womb are also being fed constantly, so the idea of being hungry is new as well. Their stomachs are tiny and expect frequent, small feeds. Frequent feeds also stimulate the parent’s milk supply, progressing from colostrum to transitional milk to mature milk. A review of research on secretory activation found that frequent milk removals are precisely what is needed at this point. The baby’s intake needs are going to increase over the next few days from about 0.5 oz (15 mLs) per feed to about 2-3 oz per feed in the next week. By frequently removing milk, the baby signals to the parent’s body that it is time for secretory activation, leading to a full milk supply. A fascinating study found that, among exclusive pumpers, the number of milk removals was critical for reaching and maintaining this stage. If the parent did not maintain frequent milk feedings, they would move out of secretory activation. Why does it happen in the evening and at night? One theory is that the surrounding environment is loud and chaotic during the day. If the family remains in the hospital, many staff members are in and out of the room throughout the day. It is usually bright. There are often many visitors, especially if it is the first baby. All of this can cause the baby to feign sleep, thereby appearing calm. Once the chaos subsides, the lights are dimmed, and the baby “wakes” up, ready for interaction and feeding. What can be done about Second Night Syndrome? In many ways, this increased behavior in the baby is the parent’s first opportunity to set the tone for the relationship. The parent has a choice: give the baby what they need at this moment, or fight it. Note that I used the word “need,” not “want.” The first stage of human development, according to Erik Erikson, is trust vs mistrust. Will the parent be present for the baby, or prioritize their own needs (or societal expectations) over the baby’s needs? What does the baby want? The bottom line is they want to be close to their parent. They want to be held skin-to-skin constantly. Skin-to-skin contact soothes the baby and helps them regulate their body. Make sure the baby doesn’t have mittens on. One of my interns once said that babies “see” with their hands. They also want access to their food source (the breast/chest) as often and as long as they feel they need to access it. After the baby feeds, gently shift so that the parent and the baby are comfortable. If you try to put the baby down somewhere, they will most likely wake again. If the baby is to be moved, the family should wait until the baby is in a deep (REM) sleep. The baby begins in light sleep, and if moved, they will wake. Keep in mind that infants move in and out of REM sleep more quickly than adults, approximately every 30 minutes. We encourage the parent to rest as much as possible during the day. The adage “sleep when the baby sleeps” is no joke in the early weeks. Ensuring the family has as much support as possible greatly helps, so the parents’ only primary job is to meet the baby’s needs. Getting family and friends involved is a great idea. Hiring a doula for the first week or two can be a good solution. Remember, too, during the day, keep things calm, dark, and quiet so the baby doesn’t feel the need to play possum. Using calming techniques can also be effective. Rocking, walking, shushing, and letting the baby suck are great ideas. Again, Second Night Syndrome (SNS) is a normal developmental hurdle, not an illness. The baby isn’t starving, and there is nothing wrong with the baby. The baby intuitively knows that the safest place for them to be is at or near the breast/chest. This intense need is very temporary. The sooner the family learns how to meet their baby’s particular needs, the sooner this tends to pass.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this powerful conversation, I sit down with one of our BreakAwake coaches, Lynette. Her story is a profound example of what can happen when we stop chasing endless cures and begin addressing the emotional roots of chronic pain. Lynette spent years living on high alert, believing she was simply someone destined to suffer. Frequent illness, skin infections, TMJ, anxiety, pelvic pain, scoliosis, and eventually debilitating ischial bursitis left her feeling like her life was shrinking before her eyes. Even with supportive medical care and physical therapy, relief was always temporary and new symptoms seemed to appear in their place. When she was introduced to JournalSpeak through a Sarno x Sachs–certified mentor, something finally shifted. With guidance and support, Lynette began to explore the emotional patterns and trauma underlying her symptoms and discovered that true healing was possible. Just months later, Lynette's life looks entirely different. The woman who once felt she was merely enduring life is now actively engaging with it again. She is traveling, exercising, sitting pain-free, climbing stairs, volunteering, and reconnecting with the joy of everyday living. In this episode, Lynette shares the vulnerable details of her journey—from medical trauma and years of searching for answers to the moment she finally felt safe enough to face the emotions her body had been expressing. Her story is a beautiful reminder that the nervous system can change, healing is possible even after years of suffering, and sometimes the right mentor and the right tools arrive exactly when we're ready for them.

On this episode, we're with Jenna Filipkowski, the Head of Learning and Development at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. With a background in organizational psychology and research, Jenna brings a fresh, outsider perspective to the world of L&D, challenging traditional approaches and driving innovation within the unique environment of the Fed.We discuss the importance of team development over individual learning, the shift from self-directed "Netflix of learning" approaches to more guided, in-person experiences, and the crucial role of branding and communication in building credibility for L&D organizations. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...00:00 Team-based learning evolution05:06 Improving the workforce experience07:59 Embracing opportunity in HR leadership15:46 Team coaching as facilitation19:56 Aligning learning with business goals25:40 In-person vs. virtual leadership training33:12 Improving organizational learning through data37:46 Cohesive branding and storytelling40:20 Leadership accountability and developmentFrom Individual Focus to Team DevelopmentHistorically, L&D programs have targeted individual upskilling and career navigation. At the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jenna Filipkowski is pioneering an approach grounded in 6 Team Conditions, a research-backed model that moves beyond one-off workshops.Her Energize program uses diagnostics, assessments like Hogan and Insights Discovery, and customized workshops to identify and strengthen the underlying conditions for team success. Rather than a one-size-fits-all or quick-fix model, teams undergo a tailored process, allowing for deeper systemic improvement. It's about giving teams the tools and support to accelerate their performance because they're set up for success, not just treating every challenge as an off-the-shelf problem.The Death of Netflix of LearningFor years, L&D has been swept up by the promise of Netflix learning, providing endless on-demand content and empowering employees to self-direct their learning journeys. But this laissez-faire model has started to unravel, because organizations and individuals are craving more structure and intentionality. At the New York Fed, the move to in-person, cohort-based programs is intentional. In-person learning provides social connection, time to focus, and shared experience, resulting in deeper reflection and lasting impact. While technical upskilling may still leverage digital and asynchronous methods. Blending modalities based on program intent, not defaulting to digital just because it's easier.Branding L&DStanding out in a large, multifaceted organization is a challenge for any L&D team, and Jenna's approach is to treat L&D as a brand. Programs at the Fed share unified branding with cohesive names and visual identity, making offerings memorable and fostering a sense of exclusivity and aspiration.Branding goes hand-in-hand with effective communication. Frequent roadshows, town halls, engaging graduation ceremonies, and leadership conferences help communicate value not only to employees but also to senior leadership. Measurement and AccountabilityAt the Fed, Jenna and her team use a mix of reach, participant demand, stakeholder feedback, and practical business cases solved to demonstrate L&D's value. They push to correlate L&D participation with metrics like engagement and retention—demonstrating impact beyond traditional learning outcomes. The vision for the future includes more robust, passive data collection and real-time intelligence—but for now, using multiple data sources creatively is key.As workplaces shift once again, the future of L&D will center on three things: helping people grow in their roles, building strong leaders, and fostering connection through learning alongside others. The journey away from content chaos and toward strategic, human-centered, and measurement-driven L&D is just beginning.

Overwhelmed by your kid's meltdowns, tantrums and big reactions? When outbursts keep repeating, it's not bad parenting—it's a stressed nervous system. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation, shows you how to calm the brain first and create lasting change.So many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed, walking on eggshells, bracing for the next explosion. When your child's meltdowns happen over and over, it creates fear, frustration, and emotional exhaustion.When meltdowns keep happening despite your best efforts, it's not bad parenting. It's nervous system overload. In this episode, I'll show you why tantrums repeat—and how to calm the brain first.Why do my child's meltdowns keep happening no matter what I try?Most parents think if they just find the right consequence, reward, or script, they can stop tantrums. But meltdowns aren't logic problems—they're biology.When stress spikes:The amygdala hijacks the brainStress hormones surgeThe thinking brain goes offlineNo reasoning. No listening. No learning.From the outside, it looks like defiance or a power struggle. Inside, your child's nervous system feels threat, loss of control, or sensory overload.It's not about effort—it's about order.Why do I feel so overwhelmed by my kid's meltdowns?Repeated tantrums and meltdowns create hypervigilance. You start anticipating the next explosion before it happens. That dread? It's real. Two dysregulated nervous systems in one home feels like chaos—because it is.You may notice:Emotional exhaustionBracing before transitionsFeeling overwhelmed even during calm momentsThis isn't weakness. It's biology.Here's the truth: You can't calm a child if your own nervous system is in fight-or-flight. Your regulation is the intervention.Why doesn't punishing or lecturing stop tantrums?You can't consequence your way out of a nervous system meltdown.Time outs. Threats. Removing screen time. Lectures. Most families try these. But during child's tantrums, executive functioning isn't accessible.No regulation = no access to problem-solving skills.That's why managing tantrums mid-explosion rarely works.Instead:Regulate first—you, not themDrop your shouldersTake deep breathsSoften your toneKids borrow your calm before they build their own.How can I stop tantrums before they explode?Here's where change happens: the yellow light, not the red.Meltdowns don't start with screaming. They start with:IrritabilityRigidityWhiningAvoidanceZoning outThese are clues about your child's triggers.Ask:Is there sensory overload?Are transitions abrupt?Is sleep solid?Is their stress cup already full?It's all about the total stress load. You shrink tantrums and meltdowns by lowering baseline stress, not by controlling behavior.
#239Do your students sometimes feel overwhelmed or a little hesitant when you ask them to write in the target language? Building writing confidence doesn't happen overnight. It grows with small, purposeful moments every day. In this episode, we look at how integrating short, focused writing tasks into your lessons can help students process language, express ideas, and build confidence in their writing. Whether you teach novice or advanced language learners, these practical strategies will fit into your teaching routine. Topics in this Episode: Many learners equate writing with grades, red ink, and getting it “right.” That pressure alone can shut down risk-taking.But writing confidence and skill grow best through frequent, low-stakes practice that feels doable and purposeful. Frequent, low-pressure writing is one of the most effective ways to help students develop both confidence and communicative ability.Short writing prompts give learners space to:Reflect on inputOrganize thoughtsRehearse languageCommunicate meaning without the pressure of perfectionThe key is thoughtful management:Clear purposeAppropriate lengthDefined time limitsMeaningful follow-upWhen writing is framed as practice—not performance—you create a classroom culture where students are willing to try, revise, and improve.Classroom Strategies:Keep Writing Tasks Short and PurposefulAlign Tasks to Proficiency LevelsManage Time, Space, and Follow-UpWhen students write often, briefly, and with purpose: Proficiency develops naturally.Fluency increases.Anxiety decreases.Confidence grows.Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD Course: Short Writing Tasks That Build Confidence and Proficiency A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram: @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook: /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter): @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.
You're not a brain on legs. And if upgrading your mindset or sharpening your thinking hasn't delivered the breakthrough you expected, it may be time to pay attention to the one stream of data AI can't access: your body's real-time signals.In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with science journalist Caroline Williams to unpack interoception—your internal sensory system. It's the mechanism that helps you interpret what's happening inside your body and quietly shapes your response. Together, they explore why modern life makes it so easy to override those signals and introduce simple shifts that make a big difference.If you've felt stuck in your head, worn out from pushing through, or unsure how to care for yourself in a high-demand season, this conversation offers a different path—habits that are practical, sustainable, and refreshingly free.Memorable Quotes“Anything you do with your body is gonna affect the signals that are going from within your body to your brain. And that changes how your brain predicts what you are capable of and what's gonna happen next.”“We can either be attending to the outside world or the internal world. You can't be doing it both at the same time. So if you are constantly out there, you can't be in here. And so you need to be able to have the ability to tune in, deal and then tune back out again.”“[Our lives today] don't really match up with what we were designed for. So we have to then seek out the movement that we don't get in our everyday lives.”“The relationship between moving and brain health isn't about how much time you spend exercising, it's about how much time you spend sedentary. So it's about breaking up the sedentary time.”“One of these things that seem to be gathering momentum a little bit is the idea of movement snacks. So throughout the day, it's like the equivalent of food snacks. You can quite easily snack all day long without really noticing, and the calories add up, right? It's the same with exercise, with movement.”“One of the easiest parts of lifestyle to protect your brain health and your capacity long-term is physical activity.”“We must remember that making time to properly give ourselves a break is helping us to function better afterwards.”“The way that embodied cognition works is that when you are moving forward through space, it gives the illusion of, of moving forward and making progress sort of mentally as well as physically.”“Most of what we need to look after ourselves, we already have if we just make time for it.”Key TakeawaysYour Inner Sense Offers Real Data. Interoception is how your brain interprets signals from inside your body to shape emotion, energy, and decision-making.Modern Life Trains Us to Override the Body. When you're always “out there” (screens, noise, urgency), you lose access to what's happening “in here.”Your Brain was Built to Move While Thinking. Cognitive strength isn't separate from the body—it depends on the body being engaged.Break Up Sedentary Time. Frequent movement throughout the day matters more than one intense workout. Try “movement snacks” instead of an all-or-nothing exercise plan.Go For a Walk. Walking boosts creativity, lowers confrontation in hard conversations, and increases bonding through synchronization.Rest Is a Skill, Not a Luxury. Waking rest and deep breathing can restore the nervous system when sleep alone isn't enough.Wearables? Maybe. Is your favorite wearable helping you tune into your inner sense, or outsourcing it? If the (sometimes contradictory) data increases anxiety or confusion, it may be time to return to lived experience as the primary guide.ResourcesInner Sense by Caroline WilliamsMove! by Caroline Williamswww.carolinewilliams.netWatch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/L7ksuXGCp3QThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements. My question to you is - if I was your aunt what protocols or recommendations would you have for me? I would love to reverse the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. In addition, what would be the ferritin range that you would recommend? My hematologist wants it as low as possible (around 30) however my energy is very low when it's at the levels that he desires. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Sonja Peter: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the great work you do and your books! I'm generally in good health and currently not on any medications. For the past 2–3 years I've been very consistent with lifestyle habits: clean diet, training 5–6x/week (3x strength, 2x cardio, 1x HIIT), no alcohol, consistent sleep schedule, sauna ~3x/week, and daily bowel movements. Despite this, I've experienced low libido for several years. It fluctuates, but I haven't been able to identify clear triggers or improvements. A few years ago, blood work showed elevated prolactin. My doctor prescribed Dostinex (dopamine agonist), which resolved libido symptoms effectively, but felt too strong. I'd prefer to identify and address the underlying cause rather than suppress symptoms. Recent blood work again shows elevated prolactin and elevated SHBG. Free testosterone is low. Blood sugar is within range but not optimal given my lifestyle. LDL is also elevated. Primary symptoms • Low libido (low initial drive, rare or absent morning erections) • Skin issues for ~1.5 years (none prior): – Redness on chin and temples, flaring after meals and after B-complex supplements – Small forehead bumps resembling acne that appear and disappear within a day Secondary symptoms • Slightly flat mood • Low muscle gain relative to training effort • Occasional cold hands • Frequent urination (including at night) • Low evening energy • Reduced interest in socializing I've tried various supplements over time but without a clear framework or plan. I'm hoping you could share your thoughts on possible root causes and what testing or protocol you would prioritize. Thank you for your work and guidance! Best, Peter Michelle: Hi Stephen, I've experienced sensitivity to Equilife's Florafilm & another brand of proteolytic enzymes (nausea & vomiting). I have no allergies and have never experienced a negative reaction to a supplement. I am in overall good health and not on any medication and was wondering what might be causing such a reaction? I tried taking just one of the capsules instead of two on an empty stomach and experienced similar side effects. Is this product by chance enteric coated? I read that could help prevent side effects. Lastly is there a product you could recommend in its place to help remove biofilms so that the Para Support protocol will continue to be most effective? I found a product that contains Bismuth Subnitrate, Alpha lipoic Acid and Black Cumin (Priority One Biolm). Would it be ok to take this product in place of the Florafilm? I have been taking just one capsule of it with no side effects (product recommends 2 capsules 4 days a week) or is there a better solution as I do want to do some other Equilife protocols and noticed they also contain the Florafilm product. I love your Podcast and Equilife products and disappointed this one doesn't work for me. Thank you for all you do! Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral. My 4yrs old son is allergic to dogs, I suspect the saliva. When he pets a dog nothing happens but when a dog licks him or his hands and he touches his face, that area gets red and swollen within minutes. Is this common? Is it possible this will go away? Is there a way to test him for this and more importantly treat him for this? I've heard of the NAET protocol, do you recommend this? Appreciate any advice!
