Send a textMenopause care is changing — but not fast enough.In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast, I sit down with Ingrid Harm-Ernandes, PT — a physical therapist with more than 40 years of experience in women's health, known as “The Pelvic Detective” on YouTube and author of The Musculoskeletal Mystery: How to Solve Your Pelvic Floor Symptoms. Ingrid has spent decades pushing for earlier access to pelvic health care, better clinical reasoning, and more respect for the complexity of women's bodies across the lifespan.This conversation isn't about trendy soundbites. It's about what's actually shifting in menopause and perimenopause care — and what still needs to change.We talk honestly about why individualized pelvic floor treatment matters more than ever, how exercise plays a critical role in perimenopause and menopause, and why we need to stop oversimplifying women's health into one-size-fits-all solutions. Ingrid shares perspective from four decades in practice — what's improved, what hasn't, and what we can learn from previous generations of women who were told their symptoms were “just part of aging.”We also unpack the role of social media in pelvic health education — the good, the bad, and the nuance — and how emerging research in women's health is shaping more comprehensive, lifespan-based care.If you care about pelvic floor dysfunction, menopause symptoms, individualized rehab, strength training in midlife, or long-term musculoskeletal health for active women — this conversation is for you.We discuss:Advocacy for better women's health care and earlier access to pelvic PTThe evolution of menopause and perimenopause treatmentWhy individualized pelvic floor care is essentialExercise, strength, and musculoskeletal health in midlifeCoordinating the pelvic floor with the whole systemEmerging research shaping women's healthWhat we can learn from previous generationsSupporting women across the full lifespanMenopause isn't an endpoint.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 054: Peter McCormack & Dr. Jack Kruse Fabian Society Exposed: History, Money, Power, & HealthWhat if a centuries-old Fabian Society plot is secretly reclaiming absolute control over UK politics, money, and power—tying into Bitcoin's decentralized revolution, Epstein's hidden genome obsession, and the urgent need for true health, time optimization, and mass noncompliance? In this explosive interview, podcast powerhouse Peter McCormack and decentralized neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse dive deep into the UK's dire political crisis, Fabian history from Queen Victoria to World War II, and how cryptography, Zionism, and elite bankers shaped modern money systems. They expose MKUltra's melanin destruction, the Human Genome Project's dark ties to Rockefeller medicine, and why Bitcoin's proof-of-work timestamping is the ultimate weapon against centralized power.Peter reveals his "I No Longer Consent" project to inspire UK citizens to reject oppressive systems through noncompliance, while Dr. Kruse warns of health sabotage via vaccines, fake food, and polarized light—urging Bitcoiners to prioritize time as the scarcest asset over fiat illusions. Discover how reconnecting with nature and embracing Bitcoin's ethos can counter Fabian control, economic theft, and societal decay.

In today's powerful episode, we sit down with Rebecca Hushman, a certified carnivore coach who went from 69 pounds on her deathbed to thriving in ways doctors never believed possible. Misdiagnosed, gaslit, and battling chronic illness—including C‑diff, Lyme, autoimmune conditions, and severe digestive issues—Rebecca's story is one of radical resilience and nutritional transformation.After years of failed treatments, endless antibiotics, and worsening symptoms, Rebecca discovered the healing potential of a strict ketogenic diet and eventually the carnivore diet. Removing oxalates, eliminating plant foods, and focusing on nutrient‑dense animal foods helped her reverse symptoms, gain weight for the first time in years, and rebuild her health from the ground up.In this conversation, Rebecca shares:Her journey from chronic illness to full recoveryWhy traditional medicine failed to identify the root causesHow keto and carnivore changed everythingThe role of histamine, oxalates, and gut healthWhat she learned about pregnancy on a carnivore dietThe mindset, structure, and daily habits that support long‑term healing#CarnivoreDiet #KetoDiet #CarnivoreHealing #ChronicIllnessRecovery #GutHealth #AutoimmuneHealing #CDiffRecovery #HealthTransformation #KetoToCarnivore #RebeccaHushman #DrKiltzPodcast #MetabolicHealth #Oxalates #HistamineIntolerance #FunctionalMedicine #HealingJourney #CarnivoreCommunity #AncestralHealth #NutrientDenseEating #CarnivoreSuccess00:00 Introduction 01:12 Rebecca's story begins 03:05 Early diagnoses & medications 05:10 Chronic pain and failed treatments 06:40 Functional medicine discoveries 08:55 Hitting 69 lbs — the lowest point 11:20 Turning to the carnivore diet 13:45 Managing histamine issues 15:10 What made her so sick? 17:30 Childhood diet & hidden sugars 19:00 Do plants feed harmful microbes? 20:40 Functional vs. conventional medicine 22:15 Discovering keto and carnivore
Most people think they're doing everything right when it comes to their health.Eating better. Working out. Taking supplements.So why do they still feel tired, inflamed, stressed, or off?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, we sit down with a health educator who built a massive following by challenging how we've been taught to think about the body, disease, and healing.After suffering a life-changing health scare at just 21 years old, he went down a rabbit hole that completely rewired his understanding of health. What started as survival turned into a mission, and eventually a business that reached hundreds of millions of people online before being removed from major platforms.This conversation isn't about quick fixes or trendy health hacks.It's about questioning assumptions, understanding your body, and recognizing how environment, lifestyle, and systems play a bigger role than most people realize.If you've ever wondered why “being healthy” still doesn't feel like it's working, this episode will make you think differently.⚠️ This conversation challenges conventional ideas and may make you uncomfortable. That's the point.In this episode, we talk about:Why symptoms aren't always the real problemHow environment and lifestyle affect long-term healthWhat most people misunderstand about disease and healingThe moment that changed everything at age 21Why this message reached millions and then disappearedIf this episode made you think, drop a comment below.Subscribe for more conversations that help you see the game differently.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rip welcomes Chuck Carroll — once a “fast food junkie”- now a beloved voice in the plant-based movement and host of the Exam Room Podcast. While plant-based eating helped normalize his blood pressure, stabilize his weight, and restore his vitality, Chuck also shares a vulnerable part of his story: despite doing everything right, he's now navigating a complex chronic illness with no clear diagnosis. His honesty underscores a truth many people quietly carry — that health journeys aren't linear, and sometimes illness arrives without explanation or fairness.Still, Chuck shows that healing isn't just physical. By talking openly about his struggles, he has found community, connection, and strength — and has created space for others to feel less alone in their own uncertainty.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How fast food addiction shaped Chuck's early life — and how he broke freeWhy gastric bypass surgery was only a temporary solutionHow a whole food, plant-based lifestyle helped transform his healthWhat it's like to face chronic illness even when you're “doing everything right”How sharing your story can lift the emotional and mental burden of illnessWhy Chuck remains committed to advocacy, transparency, and hopeEpisode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeNeed support for your chronic illness?

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I do something a little different: I hit play on two videos and react in real time — as a former army medic, long-time paramedic, and guy who's watched a lot of people quietly fall apart while the world tells them to “be strong.”First up is the Monochromatic Theory: an author breaking down how pop culture, brands, and even our houses started to lose their colour. Home Alone, Taco Bell, old cars, childhood streets — all more vibrant than what we see now. I talk about why that hits so hard for people who grew up before everything turned beige, and how that muted “aesthetic” mirrors what happens to us after trauma, burnout, and years of caregiving.If you've ever felt more like background noise in your own life, this part is for you.Then we shift to something spicier: a clip of Andrew Wilson debating a woman about female roles in the military. As a former army medic, I give my honest take on women in the military and combat roles, drawing on my own experience, the women I served with, and what actually happens on the ground versus what guys on the internet think happens.If you're a nurse, medic, first responder, partner of a veteran, or a woman who's ever been told you're “too emotional” to handle the hard stuff… you'll probably have some feelings about this.We get into:Why so many of us feel like our lives went “monochrome”The link between nostalgia, trauma, and mental healthWhat people get wrong about women in the military and frontline rolesHow it really feels to carry everyone else's pain and still show upDark humour, recovery, and trying to make sense of life after rock bottomThis channel is for the empathetic but exhausted — the ones who are trauma-literate, allergic to bullshit, and just want someone to say the quiet part out loud. If that's you, you're in the right place.

HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins brings together an unprecedented trio — Joel Rickman (Equifax), Michele Bodda (Experian), and Satyan Merchant (TransUnion) — for a first-of-its-kind conversation on how data is redefining the mortgage process. The three leaders also unpack key topics dominating the MBA Annual 25 conference floor — from the tri-merge debate and the cost of credit reports to regulatory shifts, innovation in alternative data, and the rise of VantageScore.More from this episode:Why is data so important in today's mortgage ecosystem?Data drives nearly every step of the mortgage process — from pre-qualification to underwriting. As Joel Rickman explains, “more data is better for the consumer,” because richer data helps more people qualify for home loans while maintaining safety and soundness in the system.How are the credit bureaus competing and collaborating?While they compete fiercely for business, the three bureaus share a united goal of financial inclusion. Each is innovating through differentiated data sources like rental payments, utilities, telecom data, and cash-flow insights — all designed to represent consumers more fairly.What new data types are shaping credit files?The credit file has never been more diverse.Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) accountsRental and utility paymentsShort-term lending dataCash-flow management attributesThese data sets help lenders build more accurate profiles of consumers who were previously underserved or “credit invisible.”What role does regulation play in driving innovation?The panelists agree that regulation and innovation can coexist. The FHFA's adoption of modern scores like VantageScore 4.0 is one example of policy enabling progress — allowing new models that use broader data to enter the market.What is the bi-merge debate, and why does it matter?The bi-merge proposal — using two credit reports instead of three — is a hot topic at MBA Annual 2025.The bureaus argue that reducing data increases risk and could harm consumers by creating gaps in credit history, leading to higher pricing or denied loans.How are the bureaus improving consumer education?Each company invests in tools and partnerships that help consumers understand and improve their credit:Equifax: education through lender partnershipsExperian: initiatives like Boost and HomeFree USA to reach underrepresented communitiesTransUnion: free credit monitoring and app-based education to help consumers take control of their credit healthWhat innovations are leading the way in credit reporting?Equifax is leveraging The Work Number and NCTUE data to bring employment and telecom insights into credit decisions.Experian is pioneering cash-flow scoring and consumer-permissioned data.TransUnion is expanding rental trade lines and short-term lending insights to include more first-time buyers.How should lenders prepare for VantageScore adoption in 2026?All three bureaus encourage lenders to start testing VantageScore now. They're offering early access to evaluate how it performs in underwriting and portfolio management before GSE guidelines take effect.

Is the diet being promoted to “save the planet” actually based on environmental data?In this eye-opening interview, Dr. Frank Mitloehner, air quality specialist and director of the CLEAR Center at UC Davis, unpacks the claims behind the EAT-Lancet 2.0 report, particularly the idea that cutting animal-sourced foods will drastically reduce environmental harm.
