What if ghosts aren't dead, Bigfoot isn't always here, and UFO encounters reveal something stranger than visitors from space? Naturalist and cryptozoologist Brittany Barbieri explores “The Bending of Time,” the provocative possibility that time slips, apparitions, cryptids and missing time may be glimpses of a reality hiding in plain sight. GUEST: Brittany Barbieri is a naturalist, cryptozoologist, field researcher and television personality who has spent more than two decades investigating the strange edges of the natural world. Featured on Discovery Channel's Lost Monster Files and host of Get Weird with Brittany Barbieri, she explores everything from elusive predators and Bigfoot to hauntings, UFOs and the tantalizing possibility that some paranormal encounters may actually involve the bending of time.

Today I'm sitting down with Crysanne and Coryn, the mother-daughter duo behind the Her Healthy Body podcast — a show where faith and health meet. This conversation went places I didn't expect, and I'm so glad it did. We talk honestly about body image, self-worth, the generational patterns we pass down (and the healing we can pass down instead), and the truth about the GLP-1 era we're living in. If you've ever wondered "did I cause this for my daughter?" or "is it too late for me?" — this one's for you. In this episode: Two stories, one thread. Crysanne grew up a "high cardio, low fat" girl of the '80s whose teenage weight loss turned into an eating disorder, then decades of "orthorexia" — an unhealthy pursuit of healthy. Coryn grew up inside that environment, fell in love with the gym, then spiraled into bodybuilding, lost cycles, and disordered patterns of her own. Same damage, different faces — restriction for one, binge patterns for the other. What we pass down — and what we can pass down instead. The hard truth Crysanne names: what I said to my daughter and what I did were two different things. But the conversation flips the script — we don't only pass down the curses. We can pass down the hope and the healing too. When you honor and nourish yourself, you become the model, not the warning. When worth comes from the world. Crysanne's most vulnerable share: a marriage ending, rock bottom, and realizing her self-worth had been built entirely on the world's approval — "look how skinny you are" — which left her empty and always chasing. Everything shifted when she started seeing herself through God's eyes instead of the world's. You are worth more than rubies — and God doesn't view you as a label. Letting go of control. Both women land in the same place: surrender. You get to the end of yourself, stop future-tripping, and finally let God have it. That's where the peace lives. The truth about GLP-1s. We go there honestly. "Do you really have your dream body if it's a nightmare to maintain?" We talk about why GLP-1s can function like "an eating disorder in a shot," the muscle loss nobody mentions, what happens when the insurance runs out — and the difference between chasing fast weight loss and building a body that's genuinely healthy. (There's a place for support and healthy habits — but a shortcut that creates a worse situation isn't it.) The side effect of healthy. The big reframe: looking good isn't the goal — feeling good is, and looking good becomes the side effect. Imagine waking energetic, sleeping through the night, getting dressed without mirror-checking, enjoying the meal without the shame. That's freedom. That's "God food," presence, and joy. What it means to be your best self. I asked them both — and without missing a beat: being present, and letting go of control. Present with God, with your kids, with your clients, with your food. Because if you're obsessing over the scale or the menu, there's no way you're living as the best version of you. "When you realize you're a daughter of the Most High — worth taking care of, worth loving — you walk differently. And whether you're an extra-extra small or an extra-extra large, it doesn't make a difference, because God doesn't view you as a label." Go follow Crysanne and Coryn — the Her Healthy Body podcast is on all platforms. They keep it real, raw, and rooted in faith, and we need more of that. Ready to find your own freedom?

Lo sits down with Emmy Award-winning journalist, podcast host and producer Kyle Ridley, who has created and produced more than 15,000 television segments. In this candid, moving conversation, Kyle shares how growing up, coming into his sexuality, and being bullied shaped his relationship with himself. He speaks candidly about his struggles with body dysmorphia and bulimia, how they affected his mental health, his relationships and the therapy and support that helped him move into recovery.Drawing on their own experiences of being bullied as kids, Lo and Kyle reflect on how the pressure to look perfect has changed for a new generation growing up with access to cell phones and social media. Their conversation touches on GLP-1 medications, looksmaxxing, and the relentless online judgment and pressures young people can face.This is a tender, honest conversation about healing, relationships, and learning to build a life that feels good from the inside out.Want more Kyle?

Are we focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to protein and healthy aging?In this episode, I break down fascinating new research from my friend Dr. Valter Longo that could change the way you think about protein, muscle, and longevity. The key may not be how many grams of protein you eat, but how much of one specific amino acid, methionine, you're getting.I explain what the study found, why too much or too little methionine may matter, and how mTOR, IGF-1, GLP-1, and gut health fit into the picture. I'll also share why I don't believe getting older automatically means you need to pile more animal protein onto your plate, and the protein sources I prefer for supporting strength while keeping longevity in mind.If you're over 50 or 60, eating a high-protein diet, or simply want to stay strong as you age, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm back in the corporate practice of medicine content cycle, this time on the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act, a new federal bill modeled on Oregon's landmark CPOM law. It closes the MSO / PC ""friendly physician"" loophole that corporations like Apollo MD use to get around existing laws in 34 states, and it kills non-competes and non-disparagement clauses so hospital-employed doctors can finally speak out. It's not perfect, nonprofit hospitals are exempt, but I support it. My answer to declining reimbursement isn't to sell to private equity, it's to work together: merge practices, form IPAs, unionize where employed. Physicians are terrible at group projects, and it's costing us.After the break, an update on GLP-1s and NAION now that the lawsuits are hitting mainstream media. The correlation is real, the causation isn't proven, and the comorbidities overlap heavily. Don't stop your GLP-1 based on a news story, talk to your doctor about your specific risk factors. But if you have sudden painless vision loss on the medication, see an eye doctor immediately. Takeaways: The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act closes the MSO / PC "friendly physician" loophole that corporations use to circumvent existing corporate practice of medicine laws in 34 states. The bill also eliminates non-competes and non-disparagement clauses, freeing hospital-employed physicians to speak out about harmful practices without fear of retribution. The critique that killing private equity gives nonprofit hospitals free rein misses the point,  hospitals and PE are aligned on profit motives, not competitors. Will's answer to declining reimbursement isn't selling to PE, it's merging practices, forming independent physician associations, and unionizing where employed. On GLP-1s and NAION, the current signal is correlation, not causation, don't stop the medication based on news coverage, but seek immediate care for sudden painless vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The “Make America Healthy Again” movement held a big shindig in Washington, D.C., this week. But rather than moms arguing to get pesticides and processing chemicals out of their kids' food, the room was full of Trump administration officials and industry representatives looking to promote health-related products. Meanwhile, as the fiscal year ends, the administration for the second year in a row is refusing to spend money Congress appropriated — and basically daring the other two branches of government to stop it. Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, Shefali Luthra of The 19th, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Aaron Carroll, president and CEO of AcademyHealth, to discuss the Trump administration's dismantling of the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.  Visit our website to read a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “U. of Michigan Halts New Grading Plan After Backlash From Critics,” by Madaleine Rubin.  Shefali Luthra: The Atlantic's “The Babies Left Behind in America,” by Caitlin Dickerson.  Rachana Pradhan: KFF Health News' “US Poised To Boot Legal Immigrants From Medicaid, Including Refugees and Sex-Trafficking Victims,” by Phil Galewitz, Andrew Jones, and Claudia Boyd-Barrett.  Rachel Roubein: Stat's “Once Described as Obesity Medicines for ‘Patients,' GLP-1s Are Increasingly Lifestyle Drugs for ‘Customers,'” by Elaine Chen.

When you think of palliative care pharmacotherapy, you probably think about the tried-and-true mainstays of our field like morphine, haloperidol, and senna. But the landscape of palliative symptom management is rapidly evolving, with hot new drug classes and rediscovered old-school opioids (and not just buprenorphine!) On today's episode of the GeriPal Podcast, we sit down with three expert palliative care clinical pharmacists, Max Stevenson, Alex McPherson, and Nisha Iyer, to talk about 5 hot new drugs (or rediscovered): Suzetrigine: It works for bunions (at least as well as opioids, maybe?), but can it work in palliative care?  My take-home point here is that its not ready for prime time, but you may have a different take after listening. Levorphanol: The forgotten opioid that looks a lot like methadone but more NMDA.  Should we bring it back to the living?  Maybe if it were cheaper (why does an old drug cost this much?) Tapentadol: Basically a better version of tramadol (aka Tamadont) that combines mu-opioid agonism with norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. Expensive but our guests varied in the potential benefit here. Dual Orexin Receptor Antagonists (DORAs): Rerouting sleep management away from sedating Z-drugs and benzodiazepines to these new agents seems reasonable (again if cost was no concern) given that they appear safer (check out this JAGS article on DORAs and the risk of falls) GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Wait, GLP1's in palliative care (not just stopping it when we get consults for weight loss)? There may be a couple reasons to consider… Also check out some of these podcasts that we talked about in this episode: Gabapentinoids – Gabapentin and Pregabalin: Tasce Bongiovanni, Donovan Maust and Nisha Iyer Tramadon't: a podcast with David Juurlink about the dangers of Tramadol Buprenorphine Use in Serious Illness: A Podcast with Katie Fitzgerald Jones, Zachary Sager and Janet Ho All the Questions You Had About Opioids But Were Afraid To Ask: A Podcast with Mary Lynn McPherson  

In this episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, I continue our Blind Spots series with a topic most men never think about until it's a problem: Hearing loss.We walk through why age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) isn't some unlucky draw — it's the default trajectory of the human body, and it's already starting for a lot of you in your 40s and 50s.I break down what's actually happening inside your inner ear, why listening becomes cognitively expensive as your hearing declines, and why that cognitive load gets pulled from the same bank account your brain uses for memory and balance.We cover a landmark study linking mild hearing loss to nearly triple the odds of falling, a 2024 Lancet Commission report naming hearing loss the single largest modifiable risk factor for dementia, a simple five-question self-test you can run tonight, and the specific decibel math that explains why your earbuds might be doing more damage than a lawnmower.I close with the nutrition, cardiovascular, and lifestyle habits that protect the hearing you have left — because this isn't just about your ears.It's about staying present, sharp, and steady for your family for life.Rate & Review — If this episode gave you something new to think about, please take a moment to rate and review the Fit Father Project Podcast. Your review helps more busy dads discover practical, science-backed health conversations that can genuinely change their lives.Join the Fit Father Project Community — If you're ready to put these lessons into action with support, accountability, and a brotherhood of men committed to thriving after 40, come join us. We're here to help you build real, lasting health together.Key TakeawaysHearing loss isn't rare bad luck — it's the default trajectory of aging. About 1 in 3 adults age 65-74 has it, nearly half of those over 75 do, and it's already measurable in roughly 1 in 4 adults age 55-64.Listening gets cognitively expensive as your hearing declines. Your brain pays for hearing loss out of the same account it uses for memory, attention, and balance — which is why a loud dinner can leave you completely wiped out.A landmark study (Lin & Ferrucci) found that a mild, 25-decibel hearing loss was linked to nearly 3x higher odds of having fallen in the past year, with every additional 10 decibels adding another 1.4x risk.A 2024 Lancet Commission report identified 14 modifiable dementia risk factors — and hearing loss was the single largest contributor on that entire list.Run the "restaurant test" tonight: if you miss words in group conversation, notice people "mumbling," watch mouths to follow along, feel drained after social nights, or get TV volume comments — two or more yeses means it's time for a hearing test.Decibels are logarithmic, not linear. Earbuds at full volume (110 dB) are only safe for about 15 minutes — doing the same damage to your inner ear that 8 hours of mowing the lawn would.Get a baseline audiogram in your 40s or 50s while your hearing is still normal. It's painless, takes 30-60 minutes, needs no prescription, and is often free at places like Costco.Cardiovascular fitness directly protects your hearing — the inner ear's hair cells rely on fragile, backup-free blood flow, so the same training that protects your heart protects your ears.Nutrition matters: folate-rich foods (lentils, chickpeas, leafy greens, avocado) support low-frequency hearing, and 2+ servings of fish per week is linked to a 20% lower risk of hearing loss.Sudden hearing loss in one or both ears is a medical emergency, not a wait-and-see situation — get it checked out immediately.Ready For A Real Change?

This week on On The Pen, The Weekly Dose, we break down one of the biggest weeks in obesity medicine coming out of EASD 2026.Eli Lilly says Zepbound may still outperform Wegovy 7.2 mg, even after Novo Nordisk tripled the familiar maintenance dose, but the details are more complicated than the headline. We dig into the difference between the treatment-regimen and efficacy estimands, and why this was not a true head-to-head trial.We also cover Novo Nordisk's $2.6 billion bet on a potential once-weekly oral GLP-1/GIP, new Foundayo data against high-dose oral semaglutide, Viatris and Mylan's renewed patent fight over the future of generic Wegovy, and the full Phase 3 retatrutide publication in the New England Journal of Medicine.Plus, after weeks of concern over GLP-1 medications and NAION-related vision loss, we look at one practical thing patients may be able to do right now to better understand their own baseline risk.This episode is about more than who “wins” between Lilly and Novo. It is about what the data actually says, where the next generation of obesity treatment is headed, and what all of this means for patients trying to make informed decisions with their doctors.Covered in this episode: Zepbound vs. Wegovy 7.2 mg, retatrutide TRIUMPH-1 Phase 3 data, Foundayo/orforglipron, oral semaglutide, once-weekly oral GLP-1s, generic Wegovy patent litigation, NAION, GLP-1 vision risk, EASD 2026, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Viatris and Mylan.Subscribe for breaking GLP-1, obesity, diabetes and metabolic-health news, explained from the patient perspective.Get Exclusive OTP Savings and Resrouces:Https://www.otplinks.comGet Breaking Obesity Medicine News:HTTPS://www.onthepen.com

What if protecting your health starts with having the conversations most people would rather avoid?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on sexual health, STI prevention, pregnancy prevention, and the responsibility that comes with being sexually active. They break down an important distinction: many forms of birth control are designed to prevent pregnancy, but they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. The conversation also covers testing, condoms, communication with partners, HPV awareness, and why both women and men need to take ownership of their sexual health.Beyond the main topic, Farley and Jennifer discuss Apple's AI challenges, the return of Toys “R” Us, GLP-1 concerns, and Christian Bale and Sibi Blažić's foster-care initiative. The episode closes with a serious reminder about mental health, paying attention to warning signs, and speaking up when someone may be struggling.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:17) Apple, Siri, and AI expectations(3:38) Toys “R” Us makes a comeback(6:40) GLP-1 risks and health concerns(9:38) Understanding STIs vs. STDs(10:27) Preventing pregnancy vs. preventing STIs(11:54) Why regular STI testing matters(14:21) Taking responsibility for sexual protection(15:38) Condoms as dual protection(16:41) STI risks beyond intercourse(18:58) HPV awareness and screening(24:40) Birth control does not prevent STIs(25:37) Talking to sons and daughters about safe sex(28:49) Christian Bale's foster-care village(32:34) “Heavy” and reaching out to people struggling(33:59) Suicide prevention, warning signs, and speaking up(36:25) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

What if building a healthy body looked completely different than what the world has taught you? For years, we thought getting healthy meant trying to lose weight, eating perfectly, exercising more, and just being more disciplined. But the closer we've grown to God, the more He's changed the way we think about weight loss, food, exercise, body image, and rest. In this episode, we're sharing 5 things God has taught us about building a healthy body—from why smaller doesn't always mean healthier to how we approach high protein eating, strength training, workout consistency, healthy eating, meal prep, stress, and recovery without becoming obsessed. Whether you're trying to lose weight, build healthier habits, or feel overwhelmed by trends like GLP-1s, this episode will help you step away from what the world says health should look like and start caring for the body God gave you. *********************************

Nutrition advice often reduces food to calories, nutrients, and a list of rules to follow. But the more we learn about how the body responds to different foods, the clearer it becomes that this way of thinking tells only part of the story. Today, I'm joined by cardiologist and public health expert Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, director of the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University and author of the new book Food Is Medicine. We explore what we still get wrong about food and what changes when we begin treating it more like medicine. Here's what we discuss: Why eating less and exercising more may not lead to lasting weight loss, and what to focus on instead How to choose foods that work with your appetite, metabolism, and microbiome rather than relying on calorie counting What GLP-1 medications can teach all of us about hunger, cravings, and why weight isn't simply about willpower How much protein you actually need and why the source matters What the science says about seed oils and which processed foods are worth avoiding Over the years, I've learned to focus less on counting calories or chasing a single nutrient and more on the quality of the food itself. When you eat real, whole foods, the signals that regulate hunger and energy can begin to work with you instead of against you. Eating well should be less about following rules and more about understanding what helps your body function at its best.

Love Thy Neighbor: Episode Notes Episode: "The Dinner Divorce" (LTN48) Hosts: Tom Vann, Colette Fehr, Dan Dennis | Guest: None Sponsors / Ad Reads No sponsor segments or ad reads in this episode. Segment Rundown Cold open: intro debate. The hosts argue over whether they need to introduce themselves at the top of every show. Tom calls it pointless since listeners already know who they are. They float making a new intro with names in it for year two, to mark the show's anniversary. What's a food divorce? Colette talks about her recent news appearance on "food divorce," which is when couples eat separately and each person handles their own meals. She puts it alongside other trends like sleep divorce. Dan asks why those couples even live together. The Dennis family dinner. Dan says he and Andrea sit down to dinner together every night, while Maisie often eats at dance. He calls the ritual almost as important as sex because it's when Andrea opens up, including her project manager work gossip. He also covers meal kits like Home Chef and Blue Apron and his weekly meal prep for Maisie. Colette on connection rituals. Colette explains that shared meals are one of the few unstructured connection rituals couples have left. People who grew up eating as a family tend to keep doing it. She shares how she ate alone in her room as a teenager after her parents divorced, making prank conference calls. Tom at the head of the table. Tom's family eats together too, and he likes sitting at the head of the table. He jokes that nobody should introduce themselves there either. He complains that his kids share nothing, eat slowly, and ignore his celebrity stories (he recently talked to the actor who played Puddy on Seinfeld). Colette suggests word games to liven things up, and Tom says his car-ride games haven't gone well. Dan's date nights. Dan says he's recently enjoyed date nights at a local tavern known for crispy pizza, where he mostly just listens to Andrea talk. Quiet Kobe. Tom's wife took their youngest son Max to Hamilton at Dr. Phillips, so Tom took his oldest son Tommy to Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. The two barely talked all night, then Tommy turned on the TV as soon as they got home. Lots of jokes about the oil, the "double white" rice, and the aftermath. Tom also recalls quiet car rides with the men in his family, including a story that started with "one time I killed a man." Companionable silence. Colette reframes the Kobe night: small talk isn't necessarily more connecting than silence, and parents shouldn't feel guilty about quiet moments. Dan and Andrea both thought the outing was great. Dan mentions upcoming one-on-one time with Maisie while Andrea travels for work. In defense of food divorce. Colette says her household basically has a food divorce because of schedules. She wants quiet after a day of doing therapy, and she and her husband still share meals a few times a week. She also points to GLP-1 use and the mental load of meal planning, often carried by women. Her takeaway: do what works, but make time to be present. "What's for dinner?" prank. A host describes his favorite prank: asking his wife what's for dinner at her most stressed moment. It works every time. Email: friend in a scam. "Baltimore Beef Stew" writes about a friend putting $50,000 into an MLM-style unclaimed property scheme despite being warned. Colette says he's already said his piece. Adults have to make their own choices, and he can set limits on what he'll do if it goes badly. Florida Treasure Hunt. The hosts explain that Florida's unclaimed property site, fltreasurehunt.gov, is a real government website even though the name sounds like a scam. They guess the scheme is built around middlemen charging people for money they could claim themselves. When it's your money too. Colette says it's different when a bad decision will land on you financially, like an elderly parent you'd have to support. She shares that she once voiced doubts when her late mother gave money to a questionable religious organization, then let it go. Ask before advising. Tom admits he's a blunt truth teller with the people he loves. His example is laughing off the Grizz's AI-assisted spy novel, and his wife says he comes off like a jerk. Colette's fix is to ask whether someone wants your opinion first. She notes that offhand comments can stick with people for years, and that it's okay to say you're not ready to hear someone's take. Tom's coward approach. Tom says he nods, checks his watch, and then says "that's not going to work" after the person leaves. Also a riff on a past helicopter pilot dream. You don't have a crystal ball. A host says he often stays quiet and then watches things play out just as he predicted. Colette counters that she has seen couples she privately doubted turn things around. She says it's unethical for therapists to tell clients whether to end a relationship, and references Dolly Parton hearing her plans wouldn't work. Joke about the Nigerian prince actually showing up. Email: wife in a hard season. A longtime listener says his 47-year-old wife is moody and down on herself, their kids are about to leave home, one child is struggling, and she has open heart surgery coming up. His compliments aren't landing. Colette says it could be any mix of perimenopause, health stress, empty nest, or feelings about the marriage. She recommends a conversation, possibly a few therapy sessions, and simply being present instead of trying to fix it. Name your own experience. Tom riffs on everything a husband should never say. Colette advises using "I" statements, like saying you feel helpless and worried, instead of telling the other person what's wrong with them. Empathy between genders. Tom says he's glad he never has to go through "the change." Colette lists what women deal with, and Tom agrees men have it pretty easy. Colette warns against letting online anger, tied to a recent news story, turn into hating all men. Perimenopause 101. Colette explains that perimenopause can start in the 30s (a chat room listener said hers began at 39) and that 51 is the average age of menopause. Technically, menopause is a single day, one year after the last period. She shares that she's had few symptoms, and that a past uterine ablation makes it hard to tell where she is. Next week teaser and close. Colette teases a story about a possible perimenopausal outburst that "traumatized" her husband. Chat room member Ryan coined "Quiet Kobe," and Colette jokes her book's paperback will be called The Cost of Kobe. Plugs and sign-off.

UFOs that survive missiles. Government whistleblowers. CE5. Fatima. The Nephilim. L.A. Marzulli returns with the expanded Rungs of Disclosure, arguing we may be approaching something far bigger than extraterrestrial contact. What if the ultimate deception isn't hiding the truth about UFOs—but convincing humanity what they really are? GUEST: L.A. Marzulli is an author, filmmaker and veteran researcher exploring UFOs, ancient mysteries and biblical prophecy. His work investigates the provocative possibility that the UFO phenomenon is not simply extraterrestrial, but part of an ancient supernatural reality—and a coming deception that could challenge everything humanity believes about its origins.

Why are millions of Americans taking a diabetes drug when they don't have diabetes? James picked this one for today's Dangerous Conversation, and roughly 1 in 9 adults are now on Ozempic or another GLP-1 just to lose weight. We dig into what these drugs actually do, and what happens when people stop. Most of the weight comes right back. Great for the drug companies, not so great for you. I also share how I've been eating for the last three years and why I think the real answer is eating the way God designed us to eat. Is Ozempic a miracle or a trap? Let me know in the comments.

Episode Overview Have you ever watched a woman on Instagram casually share a product she loves and wondered whether she's telling you about her genuine experience—or delivering a script written by a brand? In this week's episode of Balance365 Life Radio, Annie gives Jen an unexpected behind-the-scenes look at the world of influencer advertising after receiving a paid content opportunity from a company marketing compounded GLP-1 weight loss treatments. The advertising brief outlines everything from the demographic of the creator they're looking for to the specific messages, emotional cues, and weight loss claims they want included in the advertisement. And what unfolds is a much bigger conversation about the business of weight loss, the expansion of GLP-1 marketing, and how social media advertising can create the impression that everyone around you is independently recommending the same products. Jen and Annie discuss why these advertising strategies matter, how brands can manufacture a sense of social proof, and what consumers should consider before trusting a recommendation that appears in their feeds. This isn't a conversation about judging people who choose to use GLP-1 medications. It's about understanding the marketing behind what we're being sold—and becoming more informed consumers in an increasingly complicated digital world.

Key Points A behind-the-scenes look at an actual GLP-1 advertising brief sent to Annie through Instagram. How influencer-style advertisements can appear to be authentic personal recommendations, even when the creator hasn't used the product. Why seeing the same product repeatedly on social media doesn't necessarily mean everyone is using it. Questions to ask yourself when evaluating health and weight loss advertisements, including what's being said, who's saying it, and what important information might be missing.

Weight-loss medication, or GLP-1s as they are also known, are designed to suppress your appetite - so how do you make every mouthful count? Ruth Alexander looks into what happens to the body on these drugs and what it feels like to take them. She learns why it's vital to change your diet to minimise side effects like nausea and constipation and to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Plus why what you eat before you start taking the medicines also matters, and how to give yourself the best chance of coming off them without regaining all of your weight. Ruth Alexander talks to UK based medical scientist Federica Amati, author of The Appetite Reset and US dietician Whitney Black who takes the drugs herself and specialises in supporting patients on GLP-1s. Whitney shares her real-life experience alongside Michelle Herum from Denmark, a busy mum of four who's been taking Wegovy for three years. Produced by Lexy O'Connor and Beatrice Pickup.

What happens when gut health, menopause, peptides, nutrition, and food policy all start converging? After seven years of conversations about the future of wellness, the trends are pointing toward a bigger shift: new tools may change how we approach healthspan, and yet the fundamentals still matter.Host Jenn Trepeck closes out The Next Frontier Files, the seven-episode miniseries retrospective from Salad With a Side of Fries as she reflects on year seven. She shares her own take on the next frontier in wellness, and explains how peptides and food policy fit into the future of healthspan. It is a big-picture reminder that the basics still matter most, no matter which new trend arrives next.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why convergence is the defining theme of year seven, with gut health, menopause, and peptides appearing together like never before.✅ How the GLP-1 boom is pushing fiber and micronutrients into the spotlight, and why muscle wasting is a risk of eating too little.✅ Which foundations, from nutrition and sleep to community, protect your healthspan when new biohacking tools arrive.✅ How a proposed reckoning with the food supply and processed foods could make quality nutrition more affordable.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

They were both forced to go to compound Tirzepatide when Medicare stopped covering their GLP-1 a couple of years ago. They walk through the real process of trying to get GLP-1 coverage for obesity, including Medicare Part D, prior authorization, pharmacy rejections, insurance denials, phone calls, paperwork, and the steps that finally moved their approvals forward.One of the biggest lessons? A rejection at the pharmacy is not always the same thing as an insurance denial, and understanding where the process is getting stuck can matter.This is the patient side of the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, including the twists, confusion, persistence, and lessons Dee Dee and Debbie learned while trying to get covered.Medicare Bridge Program Phone Number: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XLHwB4WTTQ&list=PLpUQxX7fz67cIETlwfkBkx0hnDgT4KXdR&index=37 Follow Dee Dee on TikTok.

Send us Fan MailWe know that wanting to lose weight can sometimes feel like a spiritual problem, so in this episode we tackle the honest question many people quietly ask: “Is it wrong to want to lose weight?” We talk about how to hold that desire with open hands rather than allowing our weight to determine our worth, safety, acceptance, or hope for the future. We explore the deeper beliefs that can sit underneath weight-loss goals—“If I'm smaller, I'll be accepted,” “Then I'll feel in control,” or “Then I can finally live”—and consider what happens when we bring those longings honestly before God.We also explain what one-on-one coaching looks like within Revelation Within: starting exactly where you are, moving gently, and allowing God to reveal what He wants to show us in His timing. We share why we moved from Thin Within to Revelation Within and why our focus is ultimately on knowing God and growing in our identity in Christ, rather than simply pursuing a different body. We also take an honest look at GLP-1 medications and weight-loss surgery, recognizing that these tools may affect appetite and weight while acknowledging that they don't automatically address body shame, fear of regain, or the deeper reasons we turn to food. For us, mind renewal is an ongoing practice that helps us keep bringing those deeper places to God—even when life gets hard.If you're tired of the scale defining you and you want real food freedom rooted in faith, listen now, then share this with a friend who needs gentleness and truth. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what belief you're ready to renew first.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Local ophthalmologist and MyEyes founder Dr. Barbara Wirotsko explains how monitoring eye pressure can be simple and revealing, and discusses how GLP-1 drugs could offer an unexpected new path to protecting vision.

The fitness industry never stands still and the software that runs it can't afford to either. Member expectations now reach into wellness, recovery and GLP-1 programs, AI is reshaping sales and service, and operators are adding, trimming and changing services as their businesses evolve. John Heppenstall, the senior sales executive at Jonas Fitness, says the operators best positioned for what comes next will build a flexible tech stack around their core needs rather than around whatever is newest. Heppenstall joins Club Solutions editor and podcast host Taylor Gabhart to discuss the tech stack philosophy behind Jonas Fitness, the coming Compete Atlas platform and the company's plan to make both Compete and Compete Atlas HIPAA compliant by the end of the year. Heppenstall also covered the role of AI in software development and member service, the questions operators should ask vendors about protecting personal health information and why long-term relationships remain central to selecting and keeping a technology partner.

Where are you cheating yourself?This episode started with me being completely triggered by someone else's cheating—and realizing I needed to stop focusing on what they were doing and turn the mirror back on myself.Where am I cutting corners? Where am I breaking promises to myself? Where am I procrastinating, self-sabotaging, skipping the routines I know make me feel better, or giving my power away by obsessing over things I cannot control?We're getting into all of it.I'm also talking about the energy of fall through Traditional Chinese Medicine—the Metal element, the lungs, large intestine, grief, discernment and LETTING GO—and how perfectly that connects to the energy of Venus retrograde and this season of reevaluating our relationships, values and patterns.Sometimes the trigger isn't asking you to fix someone else. It's asking you to come home to yourself.In this episode, we talk about:• Cheating, betrayal + why certain behaviors trigger us so deeply• Where you might be “cheating” yourself in your own life• Self-sabotage, procrastination + personal integrity• Fall, the Metal element + the practice of letting go• Venus retrograde + reevaluating love, relationships and values• Journaling through triggers instead of reacting to them• Taking your power back + controlling the controllables• Using yoga, running, meditation + breath to come back to yourselfPLUS: I'm giving you an update on my wellness journey, why I've been drinking RYZE Mushroom Coffee, what I'm changing before beginning my Amble journey, and some special Amble offers for the Coffee & Crystals community.☕ RYZE MUSHROOM COFFEEI've been swapping some of my traditional coffee for RYZE Mushroom Coffee as part of my current wellness routine.https://get.aspr.app/SH1w4x

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.On today's episode, Sara Payne hosts Jody Tropeano Greene, Director of Content and Programming for HLTH USA, for an inside look at the themes, editorial vision, and highlights shaping the agenda for this year's HealthUSA conference in Las Vegas. With an expansive program covering everything from AI and pharma to care delivery and workforce issues, HealthUSA stands as a pulse-check on the current and future state of the healthcare industry.Together, Sara and Jody dive into why this year's theme, “The Age of Intelligent Health is Here, Buckle Up,” is more than just a nod to technology; it's an invitation to industry leaders to confront uncomfortable truths, challenge the status quo, and rethink the foundational issues in healthcare. Jody opens up about the deliberate choices behind crafting sessions designed to provoke, foster real debate, and ensure diverse, on-the-ground clinical perspectives aren't left out of the conversation.We learn about bold new programming, including high-impact debates on claims and prior authorization, the intentional integration of AI discussions across all specialty tracks, and the growing visibility of nurses and clinicians both on panels and the main stage. The episode also teases upcoming celebrity and government speakers, behind-the-scenes planning anxieties, and the one mission question Jody hopes every attendee leaves pondering.Join us for an episode that reaches beyond optics, focusing instead on outcomes, candor, and what it really takes to drive meaningful change in healthcare.Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it.Key Takeaways:A Reality Check on Innovation: Jody explains that this year's HealthUSA theme is both a celebration and a warning: while AI, GLP-1s, and longevity therapies have reached a “fever pitch,” many systemic mechanics remain broken 02:00. The agenda is built not just to highlight new tech, but to ask if these innovations risk amplifying problems if layered on a flawed foundation. Attendees can expect candid sessions like “Outcomes Over Optics” and “Innovation Isn't the Problem, Execution Is,” pushing the industry toward accountability and real-world impact 03:11.Session Design: Leading With Tension, Not Comfort: The HLTH USA team intentionally frames session titles and formats to provoke debate, not just agreement. Jody describes how they seek out moderators known for pushing speakers respectfully toward greater candor and depth, often inviting them back year after year 04:24. This approach ensures panels aren't just “talking heads,” but forums where disagreement and real questions drive the narrative forward 04:02.Highlighting Crucial But Uncomfortable Industry Conversations: Sessions like “Do No Financial Harm,” tackling claims denials and prior authorization at the root, exemplify HealthUSA's commitment to exploring tough, systemic issues 07:39. Jody Tropeano Greene shares how assembling a balanced panel of payer, provider, and patient perspectives can be challenging yet essential to honest debate, especially when these processes directly impact patient outcomes, as her own family recently experienced 07:19.AI as a Thread, Not Its Own Silo: Rather than relegating AI to its own circuit, this year's programming integrates AI across every track from women's health to longevity and oncology reflecting the technology's permeation throughout healthcare 12:07. This intentional design avoids repetitive conversations and instead highlights specific, nuanced implications of AI for each specialty 13:23.Centering Clinicians and Nurses in the Conversation: HLTH USA places strong emphasis on bringing the nurse and clinician experience to the fore not just in breakout sessions, but on the main stage 15:22. Programs like Nursing Clinician Insights and Physicians@Health create space for hands-on providers to influence innovation alongside executives and tech leaders. Jody Tropeano Greene is particularly excited about featuring Ned Brower, a practicing nurse and actor, to offer an authentic voice on real frontline challenges 16:58.Browse this year's agenda and register for HLTH USA at HLTH.com, and don't forget to use code HMC2026 for a $250 discount on registration.

Visit LoveYourLiver.com and use code DAVE7 to access the special offer from de-liver-ance mentioned in this episode. Fatty Liver, GLP-1s, Alcohol, Hormones, Brain Fog, Weight Gain & Longevity Host Dave Asprey sits down with Siggi Clavien, Founder and CEO of The Liver Clinic and de-liver-ance, to explore why the liver may be one of the most overlooked organs in metabolism, hormone health, detoxification, brain function, weight management, and longevity. Siggi explains why fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms and why someone can appear lean and healthy while still have significant liver fat. Drawing on thousands of liver scans, he shares what his team has observed in people whose blood markers appeared normal despite signs of fatty liver on imaging, and explains how tools such as FibroScan can reveal liver fat, stiffness, and fibrosis. Dave and Siggi go deep into triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin resistance, brain fog, weight gain, bile production, thyroid hormone activation, testosterone, estrogen metabolism, and liver regeneration. They also explore how alcohol, environmental chemicals, plastics, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, medications, and other exposures may place additional stress on the liver. The conversation also tackles rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications, including Siggi's concerns about compounds released from fat tissue during aggressive weight loss and why protecting muscle, eating enough protein, and supporting liver function may matter during the process. Dave and Siggi also discuss alcohol, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, glutathione, choline, bile flow, supplement quality, and why liver health may influence systems throughout the body.

The second a brand like Hershey stops being culturally relevant, says its CEO Kirk Tanner, you should be worried. He joins Rapid Response to explain exactly what he's doing to make sure that never happens. Tanner also reveals why GLP-1 users are actually good for the candy business, how AI is now routing Hershey's sales force in real time through Target and Walmart, and why the Reese's Oreo collaboration (which generated $100 million in its first five months) is the model for how iconic brands find new energy. And with a major Hollywood film about Milton Hershey coming this fall, he talks about whether this is Hershey's Barbie moment.

Bloating after you eat is common, but it isn't normal, and your gut health is tied to far more than digestion.Tina Anderson, co-founder of Just Thrive, mom of three and brand new grandmother, joins The Mom Room to share how she went from litigation to the pharmaceutical world to building a probiotic company focused on root causes instead of symptoms.Renee and Tina get into what spore-based probiotics are and how they differ from what's on the grocery store shelf, why Tina says not to get caught up in CFU numbers, and how stress, antibiotics and ultra-processed foods affect the gut. They also cover gut health on a GLP-1, the new Just Thrive Digestive Bitters, the gut and perimenopause connection, and Renee's very relatable September stress spiral.This episode is in partnership with Just Thrive.

This week on Sinica, I sit down with Dr. Ruby Wang, whose new book, China Cure: The Rise of a Biotech, AI Medicine and Global Health Superpower (Agenda Publishing, out October 31, with a foreword by Kerry Brown), is the explanation general readers have been missing for one of the most consequential and least understood transformations in China today. Ruby is a rare creature in this space: a practicing physician in Britain's NHS, trained in surgery, who worked London's hospital wards through the first wave of COVID; the former head of the UK government's health engagement in China at the British Embassy in Beijing; a former health adviser within the UN system; a onetime medical adviser at AliHealth in Hangzhou; and a Schwarzman Scholar. She now runs the strategy consultancy Lintris Health and writes the excellent China Health Pulse newsletter and podcast, both of which I recommend to anyone trying to follow this space.Anyone who spent time in a Chinese hospital in the late ‘80s or ‘90s — the pre-dawn queues, the ticket scalpers, the cashier's window at every step, the IV drips for a head cold — will find the arc of this book hard to believe. Within living memory, China sent barefoot doctors into the countryside with herbal remedies and antibiotics in army-green satchels; last year, Chinese companies signed something like 186 out-licensing deals worth a disclosed $137 billion, roughly half the global total and close to ten times the 2021 figure, with Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, GSK, and Eli Lilly all buying. Since Ruby gave a terrific interview to my friend Kyle Chan on his High Capacity podcast this spring on the apps, data flows, and clinical AI, I deliberately steered elsewhere: to her family — a deckhand grandfather, a father's crooked splint, a grandmother's transnational hunt for Gleevec — to the four reinforcing conditions she argues made the transformation possible, to the “China is fast because China is loose” shortcut and what's actually behind the speed, to BIOSECURE and its successors, to the AI doctor avatars now fielding millions of inquiries a year, and to the burnout and violence that still bedevil the lives of Chinese clinicians.10:31 – Two family stories from 1970s Zhejiang: a deckhand grandfather and a barefoot doctor's crooked splint15:57 – Four reinforcing conditions, part one: demographic pressure and crisis as catalyst (SARS, melamine, fake vaccines)23:42 – The long view: Healthy China 2030 and why China's health ministers are technocrats27:54 – The cultural inheritance: who signs the consent form, and China's health codes vs. Britain's billion-pound app35:26 – Grandma and Gleevec: a family's transnational hunt for a drug in 200340:17 – The reversal: hǎiguī, copycats to first-in-class, and the tenfold surge in out-licensing42:35 – Is China fast because China is loose? Where China leads (oncology, GLP-1s) and where it lags50:22 – BIOSECURE, COINS, and BINSA: who loses when politics meets pharma55:37 – Digital health in three systems, Ant Afu's AI doctor avatars, and whether the silver generation can keep up1:08:44 – “A lifetime of eating bitterness”: Dr. Wang of Guangzhou, burnout, and yī nàoPaying It ForwardYanzhong Huang, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations and professor at Seton Hall — the go-to voice on the geopolitics of China and health, and Ruby's first port of call.Afra Wang, writer of the Concurrent newsletter — Ruby admires how she reads the cultural currents beneath technology, and finds it endlessly useful to take those insights to the health-tech angle.Olivia Plotnick, Shanghai-based founder of Wai Social — on-the-ground work on branding and consumer behavior across some 30 lower-tier Chinese cities, including health and wellness.RecommendationsRuby: Deep China: The Moral Life of the Person, edited by Arthur Kleinman with Yunxiang Yan, Jing Jun, Sing Lee, and others — what being sick reveals about society and culture in China: psychiatry, caregiving, and how patients and families have changed as the country has. Kleinman's The Soul of Care is also worth your time.Kaiser: Augustus by John Williams — the third of his novels I've recommended on the show, and the National Book Award winner: an epistolary novel of imperial Rome told through a crazy quilt of letters and fragments from family, friends like Agrippa, and poets like Virgil and Horace, each given a completely distinct voice. Quiet campus novel, anti-Western, imperial Rome — the range, and the restraint, are astonishing.Also: Ezra Klein's conversation with Carnegie's Matt Sheehan — a masterclass in clarity on AI safety and the U.S.-China relationship, and the best thing to listen to in the wake of Dario Amodei's “Pacing the Frontier” essay.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the problem isn't that you haven't found the right diet yet?For decades, we've been taught to measure health by weight, clothing size, calories and the number on the scale. But what happens when the pursuit of weight loss actually pulls us further away from our health—and from ourselves?In this episode, JJ welcomes back nutritionist, behavior specialist and author Carrie Lupoli for a powerful conversation about diet culture, body image, GLP-1s, self-worth and the beliefs that drive so many of our choices around food and our bodies.Carrie shares the philosophy behind her new book, From Corset to Crown, and the difference between making health decisions from the “corset”—restriction, fear, self-sacrifice and the need for outside approval—and making those same decisions from the “crown” of self-worth, self-love and self-leadership.Because losing weight and becoming healthier are not necessarily the same goal.JJ and Carrie explore why reaching a “goal weight” doesn't automatically create confidence, happiness or self-worth; why our culture is so quick to compliment weight loss without asking what is happening underneath it; and why changing your relationship with your body may be just as important as changing what you eat.They also discuss GLP-1 medications and the current obsession with weight loss, blood sugar stabilization, diet mentality, emotional eating, body image, cultural conditioning and the deeper question we rarely stop to ask:Why do I want to lose weight—and what do I believe will finally be different about me when I do?In this episode, you'll hear more about:The difference between weight loss and true healthHow diet culture connects body size to self-worthWhy getting to your “goal weight” may not make you happierGLP-1s and our cultural obsession with getting smallerBlood sugar stabilization and sustainable nutritionWhy the motivation underneath your health choices mattersHow childhood messages can shape body image and self-worthThe connection between self-sacrifice, stress and abandoning your own needsWhy meal plans and diets alone rarely address the deeper issueHow to identify whether a choice is coming from your “corset” or your “crown”Why self-awareness, self-love and self-leadership belong in the health conversationA different definition of what it means for a diet or health strategy to actually “work”Carrie asks three powerful questions that can begin changing your relationship with food and your body: What do you want? Why do you want it? And what is your definition of “working”?Because if “working” means having peace around food, understanding how to fuel your body, feeling healthy and knowing your worth, the number on the scale can't be the only measurement that matters.ABOUT CARRIE LUPOLICarrie Lupoli is a nutritionist, behavior specialist, educator, speaker and author whose work challenges traditional diet culture and helps women create a healthier relationship with food, their bodies and themselves. Her new book, From Corset to Crown, explores how women can move away from restriction, self-sacrifice and external validation and toward self-worth, self-awareness and empowered health choices.GET CARRIE'S BOOK + RESOURCESLearn more about Carrie Lupoli and From Corset to Crown:https://CarrieLupoli.comAt the time of this episode's release, pre-orders of From Corset to Crown before October 6, 2026 include special bonuses such as immediate access to the e-book, a 10-episode companion podcast, a discussion guide and access to Carrie's pre-order community.
