Yes, you can lose weight by reducing calories whether through a calorie-cutting diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical. But the effect is almost always temporary and followed by a return of weight followed by significant downturn in health. You were also likely not advised that losing weight by cutting calories, we now know through tracking of large numbers of people over many years, likely abbreviates your life by several years. In this and future podcasts, I will be introducing concepts that block these effects, concepts that I shall be exploring in even greater depth in my new book, Super Body. **Disclaimer:**The information presented in my books, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other content is for informational and educational purposes only.

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to land The story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from the sea to land, land to air. Each transition has witnessed wild storms of innovation, opportunity, and hazard. It might seem that there are no more realms for life to venture. But there is one: space. In The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life (Hachette UK, 2025), astrobiologist Caleb Scharf argues that our journey into space isn't simply a giant leap for humankind--it's life's next great transition, an evolution of evolution itself. Humans and our technology are catalysts for an interplanetary transformation, marking a disruption in the story of life as fundamental as life's movement from sea to land, and land to sky.

 'You need to kind of kick off this persuasive chain reaction and enlist people to the cause of your book.' In the book trade, James Spackman is known as 'The Pitch Doctor'. From an illustrious start to his career in the post room at Bloomsbury to sales, marketing and agency roles at Hachette, Osprey and now The bks Agency, his passion has always been to communicate a passion for books.  As he explains, the success of a book depends in large part of a 'chain of enthusiasm' that has to begin with the author and ultimately - hopefully - reaches the reader through a complex ecosystem of agents, editors, sales reps, marketers and booksellers. This is the art of the pitch, and because it ends with the reader, that's where the crafting of it must begin too.  In this week's conversation we discuss the fact that publishing is 'a business of persuasion rather than a meritocracy of texts', and what that means for authors. We also talk about the extraordinary route that James took to publish his own book, why measures of success are deeply personal, and why doing things your way is so damn rewarding.

Roberta Poggio"Onora il figlio"Arkadia Editorewww.arkadiaeditore.itUna saga famigliare che si snoda nel paese immaginario di Follero, in un intreccio di personalità, azioni e vicissitudini che ruotano intorno a una presunta e antica maledizioneFollero, paesino immaginario a vocazione rurale. Gli abitanti del luogo si trovano a deliberare sulla demolizione della chiesa principale. Da qui si dipanano le vicende che vedranno i protagonisti catapultati – forse a causa di una lontana maledizione – da un ambiente contadino al contesto della grande città. Due donne senza un apparente legame, entrambe Caterina ed entrambe Rambaldi, muoiono lo stesso giorno in città diverse. Nel medesimo istante Pietro, giovane destinato a una brillante carriera politica, entra in carcere. Ripercorrendo a ritroso le tappe che hanno portato a questi luttuosi destini, conosciamo a Roma la prima Caterina, giornalista affermata che viene travolta da uno scandalo e madre coraggiosa di un sedicenne con gravi problemi psichici. E a Genova la seconda Caterina, ragazza fragile che passa da un lavoretto all'altro nel tentativo di non soccombere alle problematiche famigliari. Conosciamo i loro genitori, le comuni origini a Follero. È qui che, nel 1969, l'agguerrita Beatrice e i fratelli Antonio e Francesco Rambaldi convincono i paesani a demolire l'antica chiesa di Santa Croce. Pagano caro il successo: per superstizione o per giochi di potere, i folleresi finiscono per esiliarli. Ma dietro tutto questo alberga forse un antico anatema scagliato contro alcune famiglie del paese in un passato oscuro e oramai dimenticato che, pian piano, emergerà fino all'epilogo finale.Roberta PoggioNasce a Genova nel 1974 e oggi vive a Torino.

Author and conspiracy researcher Mike Rothschild joins Chris to unpack the rise, evolution, and enduring influence of QAnon. They explore its blend of old and new conspiracies, its gamified social appeal, and the algorithmic fuel behind its viral spread. Mike explains how QAnon adapted across borders, embedded itself into mainstream politics, and fostered real-world violence—culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack. They also examine QAnon's psychological grip, its creative and authoritarian appeal, and how families and societies can respond. Plus, COVID's role in supercharging conspiracies, why Russia's role may be overstated, and the challenges of countering disinformation in the age of social media.

The history of the world's most successful military alliance, from the wrecked Europe of 1945 to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. As they signed NATO into being after World War II, its founders fervently believed that only if the West's democracies banded permanently together could they avoid a catastrophic global atomic conflict. Over the 75 years since, the alliance has indeed avoided war with Russia, also becoming a major political, strategic and diplomatic player well beyond its borders. It has survived disagreements between leaders from Eisenhower, Churchill and de Gaulle to Trump, Stoltenberg and Merkel, faced down Kremlin foes from Stalin to Putin and endured unending questions and debate over what new nations might be allowed to join. Deterring Armageddon: A Biography of NATO (Hachette UK, 2024) takes the reader from backroom deals that led to NATO's creation, through the Cold War, the Balkans and Afghanistan to the current confrontation with the Kremlin following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines the tightrope walked by alliance leaders between a powerful United States sometimes flirting with isolationism and European nations with their ever-evolving wishes for autonomy and influence. Having spent much of its life preparing for conflicts that might never come, NATO has sometimes found itself in wars that few had predicted – and with its members now again planning for a potential major European conflict. It is a tale of tension, danger, rivalry, conflict, big personalities and high-stakes military and diplomatic posturing – as well as espionage, politics and protest. From the Korean War to the pandemic, the Berlin and Cuba crises to the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, Deterring Armageddon tells how the alliance has shaped and been shaped by history – and looks ahead to what might be the most dangerous era it has ever faced.

“What is courageous to me is mine. I own it. I own those opportunities.” In this episode, Nick speaks with Scott Simon to explore the themes of courage, fear, and self-mastery. Scott shares his journey from being an introvert to founding the “Scare Your Soul” movement, which encourages people to confront their fears and embrace courage in their everyday lives. What to listen for: Courage can be broken down into four levels: micro, daring, ethical, and legacy. Labels can limit our understanding of ourselves; life is more nuanced. Small acts of courage build momentum and self-efficacy. Courage is rooted in service and love, not just personal gain. Sharing our courageous acts can inspire others to take action. “When I get my head on straight and I know what my goal is for that day, chances are I'm gonna do that thing and chances are I'm also gonna do a lot of other things that end up coming my way that day.” Clarity in the morning sets the tone for momentum throughout the day Focusing on one goal creates a ripple effect of productivity Intention is more powerful than perfection A clear mind is like a magnet for aligned action When you start with purpose, you invite unexpected wins “If you start small and start now, a courage practice, which is what starts to arise is actually a shit ton of fun.” Starting small removes the pressure and opens the door to growth Courage doesn't have to be serious, it can be playful and energizing Progress feels way more fun when you're not waiting for perfect conditions Boldness builds with each tiny step you take What begins as scary often turns into something deeply joyful and life-giving About Scott Simon Scott's journey from a chronically shy, bullied child to becoming a global advocate for courage offers a powerful testament to the transformative power of small, brave acts. As founder of the Scare Your Soul movement and author of the book "Scare Your Soul: 7 Powerful Principles to Harness Fear and Lead Your Most Courageous Life" (Hachette), Scott has developed groundbreaking frameworks that make courage accessible and practical. After a life-changing panic attack at 30,000 feet led to an epiphany about facing fears daily, Scott created methodologies that have revolutionized how individuals and organizations approach courage-building. His SCARE framework and "1:1" practice combine cutting-edge behavioral science with actionable steps that have transformed cultures at organizations including Logitech, Ritz Carlton, Cleveland Clinic, Nestle, and the United Nations Global Compact. A TEDx speaker and co-founder of a happiness incubator, Scott has dedicated his life to showing how small acts of courage can compound into extraordinary change. His unique combination of vulnerable storytelling, scientific insight, and practical application has made him a sought-after speaker for organizations seeking to build more courageous, innovative cultures. https://www.scareyoursoul.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scareyoursoul/ https://www.instagram.com/scareyoursoul Resources: Check out other episodes about courage.

In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I'm joined by Amy Kurtz—author, speaker, and wellness warrior who's turned her own experience with chronic illness into a powerful mission to help others heal. We're talking about what it really takes to live well with invisible illness, how to become your own best advocate, and why your symptoms aren't “just in your head” (even if you've been told that one too many times). Amy shares the mindset shifts, do-able practices, and functional wellness tools that helped her go from barely surviving to thriving. If you've ever felt gaslit, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the medical system, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a power-up all at once. Because healing isn't linear—but it is possible. You don't have to settle for “you'll just have to live with it.”   More About Amy Kurtz: Facing debilitating pain and health issues since her teenage years, patient advocate and author Amy Kurtz well knows the frustration, fear and isolation that comes with chronic illness.  She wrote the bestselling book Kicking Sick as a reader guide to managing debilitating conditions and living fully. A distinct voice in the health space, Amy's work has been heralded by Mark Hyman,  Deepak Chopra, Kris Carr and more. Lena Dunham named Kicking Sick one of her “top 10 desert island books of all time” in NY MAG.  She has appeared in Oprah, as well as on Good Morning America several times, and Fox.
