Fifty thousand tips. A million-dollar reward. A suspect's face broadcast nationwide. And four weeks later—nothing. No identification. No arrest. No Nancy. You've been asking questions about the Nancy Guthrie case, and honestly, they're the same questions we've been asking ourselves. So let's get into it.Is Nancy Guthrie still alive? What does a month of silence with no ransom demand tell us? The DNA on those gloves didn't hit in CODIS—what's the next step? Genetic genealogy? How long does that take? How does law enforcement even process fifty thousand tips? Is it possible the real lead is buried somewhere in that pile and nobody's gotten to it yet?Nancy's pacemaker has a Bluetooth signal detectable from over two hundred yards. Helicopters searched for it. Found nothing. What does that mean? And the footage—it shows this man's face clearly. How is it possible that not a single person on earth recognizes him?The mixed DNA inside the residence raises questions about multiple contributors or contamination. The ransom notes were dismissed as fakes sent by opportunists. The neighborhood has cameras everywhere, yet no vehicle was captured. Could he have moved her on foot? Is there a property nearby he had access to?At what point does a case like this go cold? What resources get pulled? What can the family even do at this point? And the speculation online about connections to other cases—other missing elderly women, other home invasions in Arizona—has anyone looked at whether this could be part of a pattern?Your questions.

If the perpetrator is local, they've watched themselves become the most wanted person in America.The footage is everywhere. Gun shops are being canvassed. Walmart turned over backpack records. Genetic genealogy is processing DNA. And now sources confirm the doorbell camera captured images from multiple visits—meaning investigators can establish premeditation.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent his career studying how people behave when they know they're being hunted. He managed teams under pressure with no wins. He built expertise understanding what makes someone finally talk.This interview covers every psychological dimension: the investigation's internal psychology as it transitions from surge to sustained operations, the suspect's mental state under national scrutiny, the accomplice question raised by contradictory evidence, and the psychology of the breakthrough.The reward situation has reached critical mass. Savannah Guthrie announced one million dollars for information leading to Nancy's "recovery." Combined with existing rewards, over 1.2 million dollars is now available. At that number, relationships around a guilty person start to fracture. Someone—a spouse, a friend, a family member—has noticed the stress.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the legal landscape. Prior visits to the property establish planning. Mixed DNA samples at a Florida lab are creating challenges. Forty thousand tips have produced no identified suspect. The backpack and gloves led nowhere. The Sheriff's Department calls the multi-visit theory "speculative" while sources keep talking to major outlets.What does it take to break this case? Robin explains who historically becomes the person who calls—and what tips them from suspicion to action.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Weeks into the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the forensic picture is more complicated than the headlines suggest.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer assesses what investigators are actually working with—and it's not as clean as the public might assume.The DNA recovered inside the Nancy Guthrie home is a mixture still being separated. Family members, landscapers, service workers all contributed to the sample. Genetic genealogy can't begin until that profile is clean enough to upload. With questions about lab facilities and sample condition, the timeline remains uncertain.The glove found miles from the property? Processed through CODIS. No match to anyone in the system—and critically, no match to the DNA at the scene. Coffindaffer raises the possibility it shouldn't be treated as case evidence at all.Meanwhile: lost Nest camera footage. A pacemaker search running for weeks. Tens of thousands of tips. No suspect identified.But the pressure is building on whoever did this—and Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down what that pressure is doing to them right now.The reconnaissance windows suggest someone local. Someone who's been watching weeks of national coverage knowing genetic genealogy is processing, the FBI is showing photos at gun shops, and CeCe Moore told national TV the kidnapper should be "extremely concerned."What does that pressure do to someone trying to act normal? What behavioral tells might they be showing to people around them?The forensic awareness at the door suggests planning. The dropped glove suggests panic. Dreeke identifies the signature of someone who may be in over their head.This is the Nancy Guthrie investigation—where it actually stands.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping doesn't read like a solo operation.Weeks of apparent reconnaissance—but no coherent extraction plan. Forensic awareness at the point of entry—but a glove discarded two miles from the scene. Ransom notes containing insider-level details—but no viable collection mechanism ever established.Investigators aren't ruling out multiple actors. And if this was a partnership, behavioral science tells us something important: partnerships fracture under pressure. Someone breaks.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent his career studying how people with dangerous knowledge eventually talk—and what pushes them to that decision. He joins True Crime Today to examine what the contradictory evidence suggests about the perpetrator profile and the psychology of the inevitable break.The investigation has reached a critical juncture. Sources say operations may transition from the four-hundred-investigator surge to a smaller long-term task force. Two people have been detained and released with no connection to the case. The DNA recovered at the scene produced no CODIS match. No vehicle has been identified. The family has cooperated fully and been briefed on the operational shift.But the pressure on whoever did this is mounting. The reward exceeds two hundred thousand dollars. Genetic genealogy teams are working the DNA. And somewhere in the perpetrator's life—a spouse, a coworker, a family member—someone has noticed the behavioral changes. The stress. The inconsistencies.Robin breaks down who that person typically is, what they're weighing, and what historically tips them from suspicion to action. Cases like this get solved when someone talks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two detentions. No arrests. Four hundred investigators. No suspect named.The Nancy Guthrie case has consumed massive law enforcement resources—and produced no resolution. Sources now indicate the investigation may shift to a long-term task force model. The family, who has cooperated fully throughout, has been briefed that the surge-level operations cannot hold.What went wrong? And what happens now?Robin Dreeke spent over two decades in FBI counterintelligence and ran the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program. He joins Hidden Killers Live to dissect the institutional dynamics at play—the effect of high-profile detentions that produced nothing, the command tensions between Sheriff Chris Nanos and federal authorities, and what critical decisions the incoming task force leadership must get right.The forensic picture remains incomplete. DNA was recovered but matched no one in CODIS. No vehicle has been identified. The ransom communications showed knowledge that suggested proximity to the family—but the collection mechanism was never functional. Investigators aren't ruling out that more than one person was involved.The contradictions are striking: weeks of surveillance but no extraction plan, forensic awareness at the scene but a glove dropped two miles out. That profile raises questions about whether this was a solo act or a fractured partnership.Robin explains how partnerships under this kind of pressure historically break—and what makes someone in the perpetrator's orbit finally decide to talk. The reward exceeds two hundred thousand dollars. Genetic genealogy is processing the DNA. Someone close to whoever did this is watching them change. This episode examines what it takes to turn suspicion into action.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Nancy Guthrie case hit critical mass today with two developments that change the investigative picture entirely.Savannah Guthrie broke more than a week of family silence with an emotional Instagram video offering $1 million for information leading to her mother's "recovery"—bringing total available rewards past $1.2 million. The FBI simultaneously asked the public to stop flooding tip lines with theories and well-wishes, a sign that investigators are drowning in noise while hunting for signal.But the bombshell came from law enforcement sources confirming that the FBI's doorbell camera images were captured on multiple days. The image showing the suspect without his backpack or holster was taken before February 1st—meaning the suspect allegedly visited the property, saw the camera, and retreated before returning with a plan to neutralize it.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to analyze what this revelation means. Prior visits establish premeditation and planning—exactly what prosecutors need to pursue the most serious charges. But the Pima County Sheriff's Department is publicly pushing back, calling the two-day theory "purely speculative" despite multiple law enforcement sources confirming it to reporters.We also dig into the DNA challenges. Sheriff Nanos admitted the mixed samples at a Florida lab are hitting snags, and his department currently has no names under active investigation. Every physical evidence lead—the backpack, the gloves—has gone cold. Genetic genealogy remains the best hope, but that's a weeks-to-months timeline.Bob Motta explains what happens when high-profile investigations reach this phase and what we should realistically expect as this case enters week four.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four hundred investigators. Twenty-two days. Zero arrests. And the investigation is at a crossroads.ABC News reported Friday that sources inside the Guthrie case believe the operation may soon scale back to a smaller long-term task force. The family has been briefed that certain leads aren't panning out. The DNA at the home is still unidentified. No additional video has been recovered. No vehicle has been connected to the abduction. Two high-profile detentions produced nothing.Meanwhile, if the perpetrator is local — and the January reconnaissance suggests they are — they've spent three weeks watching themselves become the most wanted person in America. The footage is everywhere. Gun shops are being canvassed. Walmart has turned over backpack purchase records. Genetic genealogy is spinning up. CeCe Moore says whoever did this should be "extremely concerned."And investigators aren't ruling out that more than one person was involved.Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years in FBI counterintelligence running the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program. He managed teams under sustained pressure with no wins. He studied how people behave when they know they're being hunted. He built his career on understanding what makes people with dangerous knowledge finally talk.This interview examines every psychological dimension of where the Guthrie case stands right now. What happens inside an investigation when it transitions from surge to sustained? What's happening in the head of whoever did this as they watch the walls close in? What does the contradictory evidence — sophisticated reconnaissance, sloppy exit, ransom notes with no collection mechanism — suggest about whether this was one person or a partnership? And what does it take for someone with knowledge of a crime to finally come forward?The reward is over two hundred thousand dollars. Someone in this perpetrator's life has noticed the stress.

  In this episode, Freddie and Renee zoom out on the modern wellness landscape—where tech, supplements, scans, and strong opinions are everywhere—and make a case for discernment over dogma. They talk candidly about online criticism, influencer skepticism, and why “trying things” only works when you introduce tools one at a time, track outcomes (HRV, sleep, glucose), and don't confuse information with wisdom. The through-line is simple: foundational health still matters, but intelligent experimentation can be powerful when it's paired with humility and real feedback loops. Then the conversation goes deep into two high-stakes areas people rarely discuss honestly: full-body MRI screening and biological dentistry. Renee shares her Prunuvo experience—how a possible kidney finding triggered weeks of stress and a cascade of follow-up imaging and specialist visits, raising the hard question of where early detection ends and false positives begin. From there, she opens up about a long dental arc that started with a traumatic accident at 16, eventually leading her to remove older titanium implants, manage bone loss and grafting, and transition to zirconia ceramic implants—not as fear-based medicine, but as a “reduce the burden” choice while she explores chronic fatigue, immune markers, and Episode Highlights [00:00] – Renee's Pranuvo full-body MRI experience and the 15mm kidney stone scare [16:02] – False positives, medical rabbit holes, and the emotional/financial cost of early detection [22:53] – Top health yardsticks: glucose markers, HRV, sleep tracking, and foundational labs [25:08] – CGMs, cortisol testing (Dutch & ELi Health), and why trends matter more than single data points [27:15] – Genetic testing, APOE4 status, and using DNA as a focus tool (DNA Company & SelfDecode) [51:37] – Renee's dental trauma story: accident, titanium implants, and root canal decisions [54:56] – Titanium implants, ANA positivity, chronic fatigue, and biocompatibility concerns [59:22] – Surgery recovery protocol: red light therapy, StemRegen, BPC-157 & TB-500 peptides [01:29:10] – Closing reflections and exosome therapy mention   Links & Resources Learn more about Renee Belz → https://reneebelz.com/ Follow Renee on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/reneebelz/ Listen to the Biohacker Babes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/renee-belz-lauren-sambataro/id1470189843 Get Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD — 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Try CatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken StemRegen: stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 — Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The footage is everywhere. That grainy image of a masked man on Nancy Guthrie's porch — head down, gloves on, moving slowly toward the camera before covering it with leaves — has been broadcast nationally, shared millions of times, dissected frame by frame on every platform imaginable.And if this person is local, they've seen all of it.The FBI is showing photos to gun shop owners across Tucson, trying to match the unique holster visible in the footage. Walmart has handed over purchase records for every Ozark Trail backpack sold in Arizona. Genetic genealogy experts are processing DNA. CeCe Moore told the Today show that if she were the kidnapper, she'd be "extremely concerned right now."Twenty-two days of watching yourself become the most wanted person in America. Twenty-two days of knowing investigators are methodically building a trail back to you. Twenty-two days of trying to act normal while millions of people study your image.Robin Dreeke spent his FBI career getting inside people's heads. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, studying how people behave under pressure, how stress reveals itself, and what happens psychologically when someone knows they're being hunted.This interview isn't about the evidence. It's about the person who left it behind — and what they're experiencing right now. What does sustained psychological pressure do to someone trying to maintain a normal life? What mistakes do people in this position make? What behavioral tells might they be exhibiting to the people around them — a spouse, a coworker, a family member who's starting to wonder why they've been acting different lately?The reconnaissance windows suggest this person is local.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department has publicly stated they're not ruling out that more than one person was involved in Nancy Guthrie's abduction.Look at the evidence: weeks of reconnaissance before the crime, but no apparent extraction plan. Forensic awareness at the door — gloves, mask, camera removal — but a glove dropped two miles out. Ransom notes with insider details about Nancy's home, but no mechanism to actually collect payment.Does that read as one person? Or does it read as a partnership where the planning didn't match the execution?Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years in FBI counterintelligence, including running the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program. His career was built on understanding what makes people talk — how trust works, how loyalty fractures, and what conditions need to exist for someone with dangerous knowledge to finally pick up the phone.This interview examines both sides of the equation. First: what does the evidence pattern suggest about whether this was one person or multiple actors? If there was a second person — a driver, a lookout, someone who helped plan but didn't enter the home — they're watching this investigation with a very different calculus than the person who actually took Nancy.Second: what makes someone talk? The reward has grown to over two hundred thousand dollars. Four hundred investigators are chasing leads. Genetic genealogy is processing DNA. There are people in this perpetrator's life who may have noticed behavioral changes over the past three weeks — a spouse who's seen the stress, a friend who's heard something they shouldn't have, a family member who's starting to wonder.Cases like this get solved when someone talks. Not tip line noise — a real person with real knowledge who decides to come forward. Robin breaks down the psychology of that decision, what barriers people face, and what conditions need to exist for the break to happen.Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigators have publicly stated they're not ruling out that more than one person was involved. The evidence is contradictory: sophisticated reconnaissance but no extraction plan, forensic awareness at the door but sloppiness on the exit, ransom notes with insider details but no way to collect.If there was a second person — a driver, a lookout, someone who helped but didn't enter the home — they're watching this investigation unfold with different psychological stakes than the person who actually took Nancy.Robin Dreeke spent his FBI career understanding what makes people talk. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, building rapport with assets who had every reason to stay silent.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to assess the forensic evidence in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance — and the picture is complicated. DNA inside the home is a mixture still being separated. A glove found miles away hit nothing in CODIS and doesn't match the property samples. Genetic genealogy is now in play, but requires a usable profile that investigators may not yet have.Coffindaffer evaluates whether the glove should even be treated as connected to this case, what it takes to separate mixed DNA from a home with regular visitors, and whether the private Florida lab processing the evidence has compromised the material that genetic genealogy needs to work. Othram — the company that helped identify Bryan Kohberger — publicly called the lab decision devastating. Coffindaffer gives her assessment of the competing arguments.The conversation covers the loss of potential Nest camera footage after Google indicated it likely cannot recover additional video, the ongoing pacemaker helicopter search nineteen days after the device disconnected, and the reality behind 50,000 tips that have produced no named suspect. Coffindaffer identifies the forensic avenues worth pursuing and the ones that should be abandoned.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The physical evidence in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance has not produced a suspect, a match, or a confirmed connection to whoever took the eighty-four-year-old from her Tucson home nineteen days ago. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today to assess what investigators are actually working with.The DNA inside Nancy's home is a mixture — multiple people in a house with regular visitors. Still being separated. The glove found two miles away missed in CODIS and doesn't match property samples. Genetic genealogy is the next move, but it needs a clean profile that may not exist yet. Coffindaffer breaks down each forensic avenue: what's viable, what's compromised, and what investigators should stop spending time on.The lab controversy gets examined — why evidence went to a Florida facility instead of the FBI's Quantico lab, what Othram's public criticism means, and whether the DNA samples have been degraded by the testing process. Coffindaffer also addresses the pacemaker helicopter search, the loss of potential Nest footage, and the 50,000 tips that haven't cracked the case open.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For nearly seventeen years, we've followed the ever-evolving journey of bassist Cheikh Ndoye, watching with admiration as his musical vision continues to deepen and expand. Each project has revealed a restless curiosity and a commitment to sound that resists easy categorization.When we last spoke in 2018, Ndoye was already hinting at new directions, and he hasn't slowed down since.In the years that followed, he's been quietly and intensely at work, culminating in a new album, Genetic Tones, a project that captures both his roots and his forward-looking approach to music.I recently had the great pleasure of listening to several rough tracks from the album, and, as always, I was both impressed and genuinely excited by what I heard. Genetic Tones feels like a bold and thoughtful statement, rich in texture and intention. Join me as Cheikh shares insights into the making of this upcoming release and reflects on the ways his musical language has continued to transform over the years. This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in February 2026Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.

A recent study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that the mysterious high-energy neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from a quasi-extremal primordial black hole. This type of black hole, theorized to exist since the Big Bang, could explain the otherwise unexplainable energy levels of the neutrino and potentially unlock the secrets of dark matter and the fundamental nature of the universe.Mars' Dust Storms and Water LossNew research published in Communications Earth and Environment reveals that localized dust storms on Mars may play a significant role in the planet's water loss. While Mars is currently a dry desert, evidence from its surface indicates a wetter past. The study shows that intense dust storms can transport water vapor to higher altitudes, facilitating its escape into space, thus contributing to the long-standing mystery of Martian water depletion.Plasma Daniel for Hypersonic TestingA groundbreaking facility known as the plasma tunnel is now being used by scientists and engineers to simulate the extreme conditions spacecraft face during atmospheric reentry. The plasma tunnel generates high-speed plasma flows that mimic the intense heat and pressure experienced during reentry, providing critical data for developing safer and more efficient spacecraft.

Some children can skip meals, miss sleep, or fight off a cold and barely flinch — while others spiral into meltdowns after the smallest stressor. In this episode, Dana Kay uncovers the hidden biological reason behind that difference: glutathione — the brain's primary antioxidant and stress buffer. Joined by world-renowned naturopathic physician and researcher Dr. Gina Nick, this episode breaks down glutathione (or "Vitamin G") in a way parents can finally understand. You'll learn how glutathione protects the brain from toxins and inflammation, why modern kids are more depleted than ever, and how low levels can drive ADHD symptoms, emotional dysregulation, and stress sensitivity. Drawing on decades of research, clinical practice, and formulation expertise, Dr. Nick explains detox pathways, NAC vs glutathione, safe supplementation, and why small daily detox actions matter more than extreme protocols. If your child's nervous system feels constantly overwhelmed — even when you're doing everything right — this episode fills in a critical missing piece.

Send a textWhat if the behavior that broke your heart was actually the brain asking for help?In this episode Rayna sat down with author and advocate Lori Jones to explore the hidden contours of Huntington's disease, where genetics, uncertainty, and everyday caregiving collide and uncover the small, human choices that change everything.Lori grew up in an HD family, later becoming a legal guardian for her father through care homes, hospital handoffs, and hospice. She opens up about the emotional math of pre-symptomatic testing, the weight of a 50% genetic risk, and why learning about CAG repeats and symptom variability can bring clarity without stealing hope. We also trace powerful parallels with Alzheimer's: early psychiatric shifts that go unnoticed, late diagnoses that miss the window for treatment, and the hard truth that behavior often reflects brain change, not character.The heart of this conversation lives in the stories. A care home director who said we get creative and meant it. A third-shift art student sketching while Lori's dad savored ice cream, reconnecting with the artist he once was. A retired neurology chair arriving with a paper bag of fries, earning trust one salty bite at a time and clearing a path for much-needed meds. These aren't grand gestures; they're precise mercies that honor personhood and make care sustainable.Lori also names the quiet undertow of relief: survivor's guilt after testing gene negative. Her way through was service- organizing Team Hope fundraisers, writing Spared: A Memoir of Risk and Resolve, and speaking anywhere to help caregivers find language and community. If you've ever felt isolated, triggered, or unsure how to de-escalate fear-driven moments, you'll leave with practical tools, compassionate reframes, and a reminder that you're not supposed to carry this alone.Listen now, share this with someone who needs it, and tell us: what small act made a big difference in your caregiving? If this conversation helped, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it on so more caregivers can find hope and practical support.

The REST Revolution thesis is that rest is not an activity, it's an approach to life that's rooted in worthiness. So rest isn't about doing less, it's about believing you're worthy regardless of what you accomplish.Coach and author Heather Boersma shares her journey from burnt out motivational speaker to discovering that rest is a foundational agreement with your own worthiness. After experiencing panic attacks that forced her to step back from everything, Heather rebuilt her life around the understanding that her value isn't tied to her to-do list. This conversation dives into the REST framework (mindset, emotions, nervous system), why motherhood often makes the hustle unsustainable, and the simple breathing technique that can regulate your nervous system in 90 seconds.In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(06:09) From a random stage in Australia to touring as a motivational speaker(13:35) The first panic attack on an airplane—what it felt like and what it revealed(18:07) Genetic testing, grief, and the anxiety spiral that followed(21:54) Why motherhood makes the hustle stop working(31:48) Why we resist feeling our emotions and how it steals our rest(37:03) Building the belief "I'm worthy" one thought at a time for 63 days(39:41) The basketball analogy: slowing down to grow(44:40) Microdosing rest(48:39) The three pillars of rest and creating schedules that align with your values(52:46) What Heather is still figuring out: integrating all parts of herselfCheck out episode 103, a similar episode, with Joanna Brewster → Spotify, Apple or YouTubeKEY TAKEAWAYRest isn't an activity you add to your calendar—it's the foundational belief that you're worthy exactly as you are, without needing to prove, perform, or produce anything. When you live FROM worthiness instead of FOR worthiness, you can still have a full life and big goals, but without the frantic energy that leads to burnout. The shift happens one thought at a time: spend 63 days practicing "I'm worthy" (or "It's possible I'm worthy"), and your brain will build a new neural pathway that becomes your default setting. This is the rest that actually restores.About Heather BoersmaHeather Boersma is a speaker, author, and certified life and business coach who helps ambitious women create sustainable success without burnout. Drawing on over 20 years of speaking experience and her neuroscience-based coaching approach, Heather supports female entrepreneurs in finding work-life flow and building emotionally healthy businesses.She is currently completing her Master of Counselling Psychology, further integrating evidence-based strategies with her coaching practice. Heather's passion is helping women reclaim rest, regulate their nervous systems, and redefine success on their own terms.

Genetic resilience and the dynamics of inbreeding and diversity in dairy breeding. Dr. Maltecca (6:43)The main issues in managing genetic diversity in dairy cattle include inbreeding depression and continuing selection without exhausting the available variability in the population. These are difficult to investigate in a breeding population, as there is not a model algorithm where there is the luxury of designing an experiment. Dairy cattle closely resemble one another, so it is difficult to distinguish between the effect of selection from the effect of drift and the effect of deleterious mutation accumulation in the population. Researchers find proxies to estimate inbreeding and inbreeding depression because we don't have good estimates of dominance effects.Identifying genetic diversity within indigenous and highly commercialized breeds for improved performance and future preservation. Dr. Huson (12:24)Dr. Huson covered four steps of thinking about genetic diversity in cattle: characterization of the genetic diversity, biological understanding of why we should preserve diversity, utilizing our understanding of diversity in breeding programs, and preserving and reassessing diversity over time. Harnessing indigenous African breeds for sustainable dairy production: Opportunities for crossbreeding to accelerate genetic improvement. Dr. Mapholi (16:52)Dr. Mapholi emphasized the importance of tick and disease resistance for the sustainability of the African dairy industry. The indigenous African breeds had been overlooked due to small frame size and the perception they were not suitable for commercial farming, but they have excellent tick and disease resistance. Exotic breeds from the US and Europe struggled with the harsh environment. Crossbreeding indigenous and exotic breeds is allowing for simultaneous improvement in milk production and disease resistance. Genomics is particularly helpful to identify the best candidate breeds for crossing.Genomic- versus pedigree-based inbreeding: 2 sides of the same coin. Dr. Macciotta (24:19)It was thought that genomic selection would help in slowing the increase of inbreeding because we were looking at the DNA of the animal, not their pedigree. However, the traditional top animals were the population from which genomic selection began, and genomic selection shortens generation interval, so inbreeding continues to increase at a faster rate. Genomics offer new tools for investigating inbreeding, but there are 10-15 options to calculate inbreeding, all of which could provide a different answer. With pedigree selection, there is only one measurement of inbreeding. We are still investigating the best method for calculating inbreeding using genomic tools.Managing genetic diversity: Strategies for sustainable livestock improvement. Dr. Baes (27:53)Genomic selection has increased the speed at which animals become more related. There are negative implications of inbreeding, but today, the genetic and economic gains achieved through the current intense directional selection still far outweigh the inbreeding issues. No one knows where the edge of the cliff is, however. Dr. Baes envisions an international system one day where academia, AI companies, and producers all work together to understand and manage genetic diversity in livestock.The panelists discuss key takeaways they got from the other speakers' presentations and give perspectives on the topic of genetic diversity for their particular country and field of study.

Further reading: I Can Has Mutant Larvae? 200-Year-Old ‘Monster Larva' Mystery Solved ‘Snakeworm' mystery yields species new to science Hearkening back to the hazelworm Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. A few weeks ago when I was researching big eels, I remembered the mystery eel larva we talked about back in episode 49, and that led me down a fun rabbit hole about other mystery larvae. Let's start with that eel larva. Eel larvae can be extremely hard to tell apart, so as a catchall term every eel larva is called a leptocephalus. They're flattened side to side, which is properly referred to as laterally compressed, and transparent, shaped roughly like a slender leaf, with a tiny head at the front. Depending on the species, an eel may remain in its larval form for more than a year, much longer than most other fish, and when it does metamorphose into its next life stage, it usually grows much longer than its larval form. For instance, the larvae of conger eels are only about 4 inches long, or 10 cm, while an adult conger can grow up to 10 feet long, or 3 meters. On January 31, 1930, a Danish research ship caught an eel larva 900 feet deep, or about 275 meters, off the coast of South Africa. But the larva was over 6 feet long, or 1.85 meters! Scientists boggled at the thought that this larva might grow into an eel more than 50 feet long, or 15 meters, raising the possibility that this unknown eel might be the basis of many sea serpent sightings. The larva was preserved and has been studied extensively. In 1958, a similar eel larva was caught off of New Zealand. It and the 1930 specimen were determined to belong to the same species, which was named Leptocephalus giganteus. In 1966, two more of the larvae were discovered in the stomach of a western Atlantic lancet fish. They were much smaller than the others, though—only four inches and eleven inches long, or 10 cm and 28 cm respectively. Other than size, they were pretty much identical to Leptocephalus giganteus. The ichthyologist who examined them determined that the larvae were probably not true eels at all, but larvae of a fish called the spiny eel. Deep-sea spiny eels look superficially like eels but aren't closely related, and while they do have a larval form that resembles that of a true eel, they're much different in one important way. Spiny eel larvae grow larger than the adults, then shrink a little when they develop into their mature form. The six-foot eel larva was actually a spiny eel larva that was close to metamorphosing into its adult form. Not everyone agrees that Leptocephalus giganteus is a spiny eel. Some think it belongs to the genus Coloconger, also called worm eels, which are true eels but which have large larvae that only grow to the same size as adults. But worm eels don't grow much bigger than about two feet long, or 61 cm. If the mystery larvae does belong to the genus Coloconger, it's probably a new species. Until scientists identify an adult Leptocephalus giganteus, we can't know for sure. Another mystery larva is Planctosphaera pelagica, which sits all alone in its own class because the only thing it resembles are acorn worms, but scientists are pretty sure it isn't the larva of an acorn worm. It's not much to look at, since the larva is just a little barrel-shaped blob that grows about 25 mm across. This sounds small compared to the eel larva we just discussed, but it's actually quite large compared to similar larvae. Acorn worm larvae are usually only about a millimeter long. Planctosphaera has been classified as a hemichordate, which are related to echinoderms but which show bilateral symmetry instead of radial symmetry. Hemichordates are also closely related to chordates, which include all vertebrates. They're marine animals that resemble worms but aren't worms, so it's likely that Planctosphaera is also wormlike as an adult. Planctosphaera isn't encountered very often by scientists. It has limited swimming abilities and mostly floats around near the surface of the open ocean, eating tiny food particles. One suggestion is that it might actually be the larva of a known species, but one where an occasional larva just never metamorphoses into an adult. It just grows and grows until something eats it. So far, attempts to sequence DNA from a Planctosphaera hasn't succeeded and attempts to raise one to maturity in captivity hasn't worked either. Some people have estimated that an adult Planctosphaera might be a type of acorn worm that can grow nine feet long, or 2.75 meters, which isn't out of the realm of possibility. The largest species of acorn worm known is Balanoglossus gigas, which can grow almost six feet long, or 1.8 meters, and not only is it bioluminescent, its body contains a lot of iodine, so it smells like medicine. It lives in mucus-lined burrows on the sea floor. Another mystery larva is Facetotecta, which have been found in shallow areas in many oceans around the world. Unlike the other larvae we've talked about, they're genuinely tiny, measured in micrometers, and eleven species have been described. They all have a cephalic shield, meaning a little dome over the head, and scientists have been able to observe several phases of their development but not the adult form. The juvenile form was observed and it looked kind of like a tiny slug with nonfunctioning eyes and weak muscles. Scientists speculate that facetotecta may actually be the larva of an endoparasite that infests some marine animals. That would explain why no adult form has been identified. Genetic testing has confirmed that Facetotecta is related to a group of parasitic crustaceans. DNA has solved some mysteries of what larvae belong to which adults. For instance, Cerataspis monstrosa, a larval crustacean that was first described in 1828. It's over a cm long, pinkish-purple in color with stalked eyes, little swimming leg-like appendages, and neon blue horn-like structures on its head and back which act as armor. The armor doesn't help too much against big animals like dolphins and tuna, which love to eat it, and in fact that's where it was initially discovered, in the digestive tract of a dolphin. But scientists had no idea what the monstrous larva eventually grew up to be. In 2012 the mystery was solved when a team of scientists compared the monster larva's DNA to that of lots of various types of shrimp, since the larva had long been suspected to be a type of shrimp. It turns out that it's the larval form of a rare deep-sea aristeid shrimp that can grow up to 9 inches long, or 23 cm. Let's finish with another solved mystery, this one from larvae found on land. In 2007, someone sent photos and a bag of little dead worms to Derek Sikes at the University of Alaska Museum. Usually when someone sends you a bag of dead worms, they're giving you an obscure but distressing message, but Sikes was curator of the insect collection and he was happy to get a bag of mystery worms. The worms had been collected from an entire column of the creatures that had been crawling over each other so that the group looked like a garden hose on the ground. Sikes thought they were probably fly larvae but he had never heard of larvae traveling in a column. If you've listened to the hazelworm episode from August 2018, you might have an idea. The hazelworm was supposed to be a snake or even a dragon that was only seen in times of unrest. It turns out that it the larvae of some species of fungus gnat travel together in long, narrow columns that really do look like a moving snake. But that's in Europe, not Alaska. Sikes examined the larvae, but since they were dead he couldn't guess what type of insect they would grow up to be. Luckily, a few months later he got a call from a forester who had spotted a column of the same worms crossing a road. Sikes got there in time to witness the phenomenon himself. The larvae were only a few millimeters long each, but there were so many of them that the column stretched right across the road into the forest. He collected some of them carefully and took them back to the museum, where he tended them in hopes that they would pupate successfully. This they did, and the insects that emerged were a little larger than fruit flies and were black in color. Sikes identified them as fungus gnats, but when he consulted fungus gnat experts in Germany and Japan, they were excited to report that they didn't recognize the Alaskan gnats. It was a new species, which Sikes described in late 2023. His summer students helped name the species, Sciara serpens, which are better known now as snakeworm gnats. He and his co-authors think the larvae form columns when they cross surfaces like roads and rocks, to help minimize contacting the dry ground. Fungus gnats live in moist areas with lots of organic matter, like forest leaf litter and the edges of ponds. So the next time you see a huge long snake crossing the road, don't panic. It might just be a whole lot of tiny, tiny larvae looking for a new home. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening! BONUS: here’s the Hazelworm episode too! The hazelworm today is a type of reptile, although called the slow worm, blind worm, or deaf adder. It lives in Eurasia, and while it looks like a snake, it's actually a legless lizard. It can even drop and regrow its tail like a lizard if threatened. It spends most of its time underground in burrows or underneath leaf litter or under logs. It grows almost 2 feet long, or 50 cm, and is brown. Females sometimes have blue racing stripes while males may have blue spots. It eats slugs, worms, and other small animals, so is good for the garden. But that kind of hazelworm isn't what we're talking about here. Back in the middle ages in central Europe, especially in parts of the Alps, there were stories of a big dragonlike serpent that lived in areas where hazel bushes were common. Like its slow-worm namesake, it lived most of its life underground, especially twined around the roots of the hazel. Instead of scales, it had a hairy skin and was frequently white in color. It was supposed to be the same type of snake that had tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It had a lot of names besides hazelworm, including white worm for its color, paradise worm for its supposed history in the Garden of Eden, and even war worm. That one was because it was only supposed to show itself just before a war broke out. People really believed it existed, although stories about it sound more like folklore. For instance, anyone who ate hazelworm flesh was supposed to become immortal. It was also supposed to suck milk from dairy cows and spread poison. Some accounts said it was enormous, as big around as a man's thigh and some 18 feet long, or 5.5 meters. Sometimes it was even supposed to have feet, or have various bright colors. Sometimes drawings showed wings. There does seem to be some confusion about stories of the hazelworm and of the tatzelwurm, especially in older accounts. But unlike the tatzelwurm, the mystery of the hazelworm has been solved for a long time—long enough that knowledge of the animal has dropped out of folklore. Back in the 1770s, a physician named August C. Kuehn pointed out that hazelworm sightings matched up with a real animal…but not a snake. Not even any kind of reptile. Not a fish or a bird or a mammal. Nope, he pointed at the fungus gnat. The fungus gnat is about 8 mm long and eats decaying plant matter and fungus. You know, sort of exactly not like an 18-foot hairy white snake. But the larvae of some species of fungus gnat are called army worms. The larvae have white, gray, or brown bodies and black heads, and travel in long, wide columns that do look like a moving snake, especially if seen in poor light or in the distance. I've watched videos online of these processions and they are horrifying! They're also rare, so it's certainly possible that even people who have lived in one rural area their whole life had never seen an armyworm procession. Naturally, they'd assume they were seeing a monstrous hairy snake of some kind, because that's what it looks like. Sightings of smaller hazelworms may be due to the caterpillar of the pine processionary moth, which also travels in a line nose to tail, which looks remarkably like a long, thin, hairy snake. Don't touch those caterpillars, by the way. They look fuzzy and cute but their hairs can cause painful reactions when touched. The adult moths lay their eggs in pine trees and when the eggs hatch the larvae eat pine needles and can cause considerable damage to the trees. They overwinter in silk tents, then leave the trees in spring and travel in a snaky conga line to eat pine needles. Eventually they burrow underground to pupate. They emerge from their cocoons as adult moths, mate, lay eggs, and die, all within one day.

A landmark study that uses brain organoids from different people with different genes associated with autism showed that the different genes act as roads that go on different journeys to the same destination. This will be an enormously important discovery for identifying targets to treat different autism symptoms across different genetic causes of autism and understand the diversity of symptoms. Also, the new Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee was announced and there is not much breadth of perspectives. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-10047-5

Chimpanzees, we are told, are the closest relatives to human beings. Indeed, for years scientists claimed that there is only about a one percent difference separating the human genome from that of chimps. Some advocates even claimed that means humans are mostly chimps, or that chimps are mostly human, eroding the principle of human exceptionalism. But research published last year Read More ›

In this episode, we look at how the classic black & white Universal movie monsters tap into universal fears, and how you can use that to create compelling villains in your book. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Shield of the Knight, Book #2 in the Dragonskull series, (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: GARETH50 The coupon code is valid through February 16, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook this winter, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 289 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February 6, 2026, and today we are discussing how you can use the Universal monsters to write interesting villains. Before we get into that, we will have Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing and publishing projects. First up is Coupon of the Week and this week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Shield of the Knight, Book #2 of my Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store. And that code is GARETH50. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through February 16th, 2026, so if you need a new audiobook to get you through the middle of February, we have got you covered. Now let's see where I'm at with my current writing and publishing projects. As of this recording, I am 63,000 words into Cloak of Summoning and I am almost but not quite halfway through my outline. So this is definitely going to be a long book and it's probably going to come out in the first part of March because it's long enough that it will take me a while to finish writing it and then to edit and proof it and everything else. So I'm making good progress on it. It was a very productive week, but I am still not even halfway through, so I think it's probably going to be March. I am also 5,000 words into Blade of Wraiths. That will be the fourth book of my epic fantasy Blades of Ruin series, and that will probably be in April, if all goes well. In audiobook news, Blade of Shadows (as narrated by Brad Wills) is done and it is slowly starting to roll out to the various platforms. I think as of this recording, the only place it is live right now is my Payhip store and Google Play, but hopefully by the time I record the next episode, it will be available at even more stores than that. Hollis McCarthy is working on Cloak of Titans and I think she's about halfway or two thirds of the way through recording, so we should be able to get that to you before too much longer. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:13 Main Topic: Universal Monsters, Universal Fears, and Creating Villains Now our main topic, which is the Universal monsters and the universal fears and how you can use that to create villains. One idea a writer can use to create compelling villains is to tap into some of the universal fears, and in some ways, those universal fears are embodied by the classic Universal monster movies. I mentioned before that in Halloween of 2025, I saw that a bunch of the old black and white Universal monster movies were on Prime Video. So I watched them for the first time since I was a kid, and I was pleased to see that they held up pretty well for movies that are nearly a century old, especially considering these were some of the very first movies ever made with sound and the filmmakers were kind of figuring it out as they went along. Dracula is a bit uneven because they tried to cram the stage play version of the book into a 70 minute movie, which really doesn't work, though Bela Lugosi's performance as Dracula and Edward Van Sloan as Van Helsing really carried the movie and helped define the characters in the public eye, but the others are all good and Bride of Frankenstein is legitimately a great movie, but why have these particular movies lasted so long in the public consciousness? For that matter, why do people keep coming back to new versions and new stories of Dracula and Frankenstein's Creature and all the others? Partly it's because these characters are in the public domain and you can use them without getting sued. True, but there's a lot of stuff in the public domain that doesn't see the light of day nearly as often as these classic monsters. I think it's because the classic monsters tap into the universal (small U) fears or classic archetypes of the things that people fear in real life. It's interesting to note that most of the classic Universal monsters were either originally humans who became monstrous or creations by humans that turn monstrous. Essentially, the monsters tap into archetypal fears and are exaggerated versions of villains and monsters we might actually encounter on a day-to-day basis. What do I mean? Let's expound. First up, Dracula. Count Dracula is in some ways the easiest metaphor to explain. He's an aristocratic vampire that feeds upon people and gives them nothing but evil in return. Perhaps he will pass on his own immortality to some of his victims, but it's a cursed and hellish form of immortality and any vampires that he creates are essentially his slaves, sometimes his mindless slaves. Dracula is the fear of the Evil Elite. This of course, takes many different forms in the modern era, but it is very much alive and well. The various conspiracy theories that the elite of society might be devil worshippers or engaged in sinister cults are definitely Dracula adjacent (and based on recent news reports, it indeed appears at least some of these conspiracy theories turned out to be accurate). More prosaically, "rent seeking behavior" is often characterized as vampirism. Rent seeking behavior is defined as finding ways to extract profit without adding value by manipulating the legal or regulatory environment. The landlord who raises rent by $500 a month for no reason. A software developer who reduces features while raising the subscription price or a financier who manipulates the regulations for an industry while investing in it are good examples of rent seeking behavior that is metaphorically vampiric. For that matter, it can be downright mundane. The middle manager who bullies his employees and then takes all the credit for their work is a very boring and unpleasant, but nonetheless, an all too common example of the vampire metaphor in real life. Frankenstein's monster is a much easier metaphor to explain now than it would've been before ChatGPT went mainstream. There is always a fear that we will be destroyed by the works of our own hands, especially in the last a hundred years since the creation of nuclear technology and gene editing. Probably most famous examples of that in science fiction are The Terminator and The Matrix movies series. However, these days the metaphor for Frankenstein's monster is almost ridiculously easy. We have generative AI to fulfill the metaphor of Frankenstein's monster for us. Karl Marx famously said that history repeats twice, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce. Nuclear weapons as a metaphor for Frankenstein's monster was a tragedy but generative AI is a farce. The tech bros sold it as this omniscient mind that could solve all problems and eliminate all jobs. What we've actually gotten is an imbecilic chatbot that makes a lot of mistakes, can't remember anything, can't actually do anything right, inflicts widespread damage to the economy, drives up electricity costs, and makes existing products like Windows 11 and Google search much worse. It's like as if Frankenstein's monster was really, really stupid and wanted you to add glue to your pizza to keep the cheese from sliding off. The Wolf Man, of course, is a metaphor for the potentially bestial nature of man. We all know, of course, or are eventually forced to learn that human beings have a dark side that can come out in times of anger and stress. Civilization is sometimes a thin veneer over the animalistic side of humans. Sometimes the veneer grows even thinner and the dark side comes raging out in riots and wars and mass slaughter. For Larry Talbot, the original Wolf Man in the movie, his situation is even more terrifying. He's a rational man who believes in science and psychology and doesn't believe in things like werewolves. Yet when he is bitten, he nonetheless loses control and transforms into the Wolf Man. He doesn't want to transform and attack people, but he has lost control of himself to the werewolf curse, and so he does. In a sense, all humans are werewolves in that we have a monstrous side that can come out under the right or the wrong conditions. The worst of us embrace that fact, just as in medieval legends, sometimes people would make pacts with the devil to become werewolves. The Invisible Man was originally a science fiction story, which means that the Invisible Man represents a new fear created by science. "Transhumanism" is an idea that eventually humans will merge with machines and evolve and become something new. Naturally, many people think this is a bad idea, and so a new idea has emerged: "posthumans" or humans that have been so modified by science that they are no longer recognizably human. So far, this has remained mostly science fiction, but you can see the glimmers of it beginning in biology and medical science. There's a reason performance enhancing drugs are banned in most sports. Genetic engineering opens up the possibility that corporations could create their own custom humans, essentially their own posthumans. The possibilities for abuse in such situations are sadly endless. So the Invisible Man, like Frankenstein's Creature, taps into the fear of science or more accurately the fear of what horrors science might create. On the surface, the Creature from the Black Lagoon is a monster story about a creature that carries off a pretty girl. I think it taps into a deeper fear, however, namely that the world is older and stranger and more alien and incomprehensible than we can possibly know. Like hardcore creationists say that the earth is 6,000 years old or so, and the traditional scientific view is that the earth has been around for four and a half billion years or so, and both groups have detailed charts explaining why their theories are correct, but what if they're both wrong? Oceanographers say that we don't fully understand the oceans. And a common theory among UFO people is that UFOs emerged from hidden bases at the bottom of the ocean, inaccessible by any human. There are other theories that there have been entire civilizations such as Atlantis that have vanished without a trace and were more advanced than our own, or that all of human civilization is a cycle that constantly destroys itself and restarts without a memory of its previous failures, or that aliens have influenced and controlled human history or that aliens created the earth and this is all some sort of elaborate science experiment. Of course, all these theories are likely bunk. Probably. I think it is true to say that not only is the world stranger than we know, it is stranger than the human mind is actually capable of comprehending. And depending on how far that goes, that could be a terrifying thought. So the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the idea that some race of fishmen lurks beneath the waves that we don't know about, taps into that fear. Like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Mummy on the surface is another story about the monster who wants the girl since Imhotep waits 3,000 years for his love to be reincarnated. But I think this taps into a deeper fear, namely that we can't escape history, that no matter what we do or how hard we try, history will catch up to us (whether our own personal history or national history). Political philosopher Francis Fukuyama famously wrote a book called The End of History and The Last Man in 1992, arguing that with the collapse of Communism, liberal democracy was the final form of government achieved by mankind and it would have no serious competitors in the future. This was a nice dream, but I think it's fair to say that the last 34 years since 1992 have proven that thesis profoundly wrong. History is definitely not over and in every domestic or international political crisis of the last 34 years, you can trace its roots back for decades or even centuries. It took 3,000 years for the dead hand of Imhotep to affect the present, but it usually doesn't take nearly that long for history to have negative effects in the present world. The Phantom of the Opera is considered one of the Universal monsters, but I don't think he really taps into a deeper fear, maybe just to be wary of a creepy guy who lives in a theater basement and is unhealthily obsessed with the leading actress. Honestly, that just seems like good common sense. Maybe poor Christine Daae just needs some pepper spray or a good solid shotgun. In conclusion, I think each of these Universal monsters remains popular because they tap into a deeper, more profound fear. So if you're a writer looking to create a memorable villain, you could do worse than to follow those universal fears. You don't even explicitly have to write horror, science fiction, or fantasy to do it. In a mystery novel, you could have a Dracula type villain in the form of a slumlord who traps his tenants with restrictive lease agreements to bleed them dry financially or an Invisible Man villain in the form of a scientist who is illegally injecting college athletes with an experimental drug without their knowledge. The Wolf Man appears quite often in detective and thriller fiction as a serial killer or some other kind of violent criminal. Naturally we cannot escape history, so the Mummy can appear as a conflict that had its roots in events that happened decades ago. Of course, the range for universal fear villains in science fiction and fantasy is much greater. Then you don't even have to be metaphorical. So hopefully this look at the Universal monsters and the universal fears they tap into will give you some good tips and ideas for writing villains in your book. So that's it for this week.

We’re talking about where faith & DNA collide. This is a throwback episode from my 2018 interview with Dr Simon Southerton. We’ll discuss how this former LDS bishop got excommunicated over his writings about DNA problems with the Book of Mormon and his book “Losing a Lost Tribe.” Check out our conversation… https://youtu.be/N0pD5jz01OA Chapters 0:00 Faith & DNA Collision Result in Excommunication 18:41 Cohen Haplotype 36:06 DNA Shouldn’t Vanish 54:45 The Flood & Religious Beliefs Check out our other conversations on DNA & Book of Mormon: https://gospeltangents.com/lds_theology/dna-book-of-mormon/ Faith & DNA Collision: LDS Bishop to Genetic Skeptic What happens when a molecular geneticist, serving as a faithful LDS Bishop, encounters scientific data that directly contradicts the keystone of his religion? I'm excited to release the full video of our 2018 interview with Australian researcher Dr. Simon Southerton. A former Senior Research Scientist with the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization), Dr. Southerton's journey from devout leader to vocal critic is one of the most compelling narratives in the world of Mormon studies. Dr. Southerton utilizes his expertise in population genetics to tackle apologetic theories regarding the Book of Mormon, offering a hard-hitting look at DNA, history, and the cost of following his conscience. Global Flood and “Cognitive Dissonance” Dr. Southerton's transition didn’t begin with DNA, but with the Flood. While serving as a bishop, he read an Ensign article classifying those who believe in a “local flood” (rather than a global catastrophe 4,500 years ago) as effectively denying the faith. Knowing that a global flood is scientifically impossible due to geological and genetic evidence, he felt alienated. This prompted him to research Native American DNA, hoping to find evidence supporting the Book of Mormon. Instead, he found that 99% of Native American markers are derived from Asia, with the remainder being post-Columbus European or African admixture. The realization hit him during a family night: “We chose Book of Mormon stories… by the end of that song I was pretty deeply upset… I remember thinking at the time I’m never going to sing that song again with my children because it’s wrong.” “Vanishing DNA” Theory A major portion of the interview addresses the apologetic argument—promoted by scholars like Ugo Perego—that Lehi's party was so small their DNA “vanished” or was swamped by existing populations. Southerton rejects this as inconsistent with the text. He argues that the Book of Mormon describes massive civilizations and rapid population growth, not a small family that immediately disappeared into a dominant culture. He notes that whole-genome sequencing of ancient Mayans consistently shows Asian ancestry, not Middle Eastern. Cohen Haplotype vs. The X Lineage Dr. Southerton explains why DNA can track ancient migrations if they actually occurred. He points to the Lemba tribe in Africa, who claimed Jewish ancestry. Genetic testing revealed they carried the “Cohen Haplotype,” a specific Semitic Y-chromosome marker, vindicating their oral history. Conversely, he takes aim at the theories of Rodney Meldrum, whom he characterizes as a “snake oil salesman”. Meldrum argues the “X Lineage” in North America is evidence of Middle Eastern migration. Southerton clarifies that the X lineage is an ancient marker arriving roughly 15,000 years ago—long before the Nephites—and is distantly related to Middle Eastern markers, splitting off 30,000 years ago. The Viking Argument Apologists often argue that since we can’t find Viking DNA in the Americas (despite knowing they were there), we shouldn’t expect to find Nephite DNA. Southerton dismisses this parallel. He argues that Vikings were raiders and traders who didn’t establish massive, centuries-long civilizations comparable to the Nephites and Lamanites described in the scriptures. Excommunication and Life After Faith Finally, Dr. Southerton opens up about the “draconian” process of his excommunication. While the Church charged him with “inappropriate relationships” during a separation from his wife, Southerton asserts the true motivation was his book, Losing a Lost Tribe. He describes the disciplinary council as a “15th-century” process where the outcome is decided before the accused enters the room. Today, Southerton identifies as agnostic, finding peace outside of organized religion. He emphasizes that one does not need the Church to be a “delightful, decent, good human being.” Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission

Today, I'm sitting down with Dr. Gus Vickery, a good friend and one of my favorite collaborators when it comes to cutting-edge insights in personalized health and longevity. In this episode, I put myself under the microscope as we walk through my own metabolomics testing after a period of heavy travel, stress, and—yes—a break from my usual supplement routine. If you've ever wondered whether skipping your foundational health habits "just for a little while" really matters, you're about to find out.

In a world where trust in traditional healthcare is collapsing, consumer genetic testing has rushed in, promising precision and control. But is your DNA test truly empowering you, or is it selling you fear dressed up as knowledge? In this critical episode, we expose the limitations and dangers of direct-to-consumer genetic reports, from the misleading focus on single SNPs (like MTHFR and FTO) to the illusion of genetic determinism. Learn why genetics loads the gun, but environment pulls the trigger, and how you can shift from being a victim of your DNA to an architect of your own health, or that of your clients.Topics discussed: - Rise of consumer genetics- Misleading fraction of your DNA- Genetics vs. Environment- Demystifying SNPs - Epigenetics'- The body's functional redundancy - Framework for coaches to evaluate genetic test quality- Fine-tuning with bloodwork and lifestyle data- Common SNPs - Ethical and privacy concerns with genetic data---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
