Sometimes the signs of heart trouble in women don't look like what we expect—they show up as hot flashes, brain fog, or even a racing heart. When I sat down with Dr. Jayne Morgan, an incredible Cardiologist and Women's Health Advocate, we talked about how these often-overlooked symptoms during menopause can actually be clues about what's going on with your heart. We're so used to brushing things off as “just hormones,” but Dr. Jayne explains why now is the time to tune in and take them seriously. Dr. Jayne —who's not only a top Cardiologist but also Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart—is passionate about making sure women get the full picture when it comes to heart health. She breaks down how estrogen protects your heart, what happens when those levels drop, and why menopause can be a turning point for understanding your risk. We also talked about what real, thorough heart testing should include (because yes, there's more to it than just cholesterol). Her approach is practical, empowering, and honestly—something every woman deserves to hear. Women need to feel empowered, not dismissed, when they bring up symptoms—and that starts with education. We're talking about prevention, clarity, and how to stop second-guessing what your body's trying to tell you.

In this episode, Guy talked with Doug Matzke, a professional programmer and electrical engineer. He discussed the bold assertion that humans are akin to quantum computers, exploring the implications this has for our understanding of consciousness and artificial intelligence. He revisited his podcast's past episodes to highlight essential themes, particularly the idea that the brain operates not as a classical computer, but as a quantum one. This paradigm shift impacts our approach to building artificial intelligence, suggesting it's an insurmountable task with current assumptions. He also shared insights from his book 'Deep Reality,' delving into the deep connections between quantum physics, metaphysics, and human consciousness. Topics include the nature of hyperdimensional spaces, the power of intention, and the potential of tapping into a universal mind. Doug's vision for the future is optimistic; he believes that by understanding these concepts, humanity can accelerate its spiritual growth and harness infinite intelligence to transform reality. About Doug: Dr. Doug Matzke is a prolific scientist, researcher, and presenter in his areas of expertise about the limits of computation, hyperdimensional mathematics, neurocomputing, quantum computing, real intelligence and metaphysics. During his 45 year career, he was chairman of two PhsyComp ‘92/'94 workshops, contributed to 15 disclosed patents with 8 granted, has published more than 50 papers and presentations, and earned a PhD in Quantum Computing. Doug has adopted the moniker of “Quantum Doug” because he combines these deep-reality subjects as the source science beneath his quantum mind-based model of humanity.

Send us a textWhat can I say about Rachell Dumas? Or perhaps, what can't I say about her? Rachell is an extraordinary nurse with a powerful story of pregnancy loss that will leave you both in tears and shaking your head in disbelief. After experiencing the loss of nine pregnancies, Rachell founded the nonprofit organization “A Light After Nine.” This organization aims to provide families navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and maternal trauma with the emotional, financial, and mental health resources they need. In true "nurse" fashion, Rachell works tirelessly to raise awareness and advocate for equitable maternal healthcare. Through Rachell, I learned about maternal palliative care, which is not only for mothers who are dying but is also essential for those experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Considering that 30% of pregnancies end in loss, this approach is a brilliant way to support this community.You may have heard the quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Rachell embodies the light she wishes to see in the world.In the five-minute snippet: Tell me you're a nurse without telling me you're a nurse.

The lack of public restrooms remains an issue across the country. In Portland, there are about 17 public restrooms per 100,000 citizens, according to some estimates.  When the city placed more than 100 red portable toilets around town in 2020, some residents vehemently opposed their arrival. In 2023, only about 16 of the toilets remained, according to KGW.  Public restrooms offer a low barrier place for people to use the bathroom and wash their hands. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends carefully washing your hands with soap and water after going to the bathroom and changing diapers to prevent shigella infections. The bacteria causes inflammatory diarrhea.      In Multnomah County, shigella infections have been on the rise, according to The Oregonian. In 2023, a similar cluster of cases occurred as well.  Merilee Karr is the president of Phlush, an organization that advocates for better public sanitation. She joins us with more on why Portland and other cities would benefit from more public toilets.
