Grocery shopping shouldn't feel like a nutrition exam, but for many people it does. In this episode of The Exam Room, Chuck Carroll is joined by Sam Citro Alexander, founder and CEO of FoodHealth Score, a powerful new tool that cuts through misleading food labels and tells you — instantly — how healthy a food really is.

In This Episode: - Why "heart healthy" and "high protein" labels can be deceptive - How the FoodHealth Score is calculated - Which foods score shockingly low — and why - How plant-based eaters can shop with confidence - Why added sugars hide under many names - How better shopping tools could pressure companies to improve food quality

→ My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Episode Description Is the most popular whey protein in America actually good for you? Or are you building muscle while unknowingly stressing your gut, spiking inflammation, and loading up on hidden ingredients? Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey—the protein powder stuffed in gym bags across the country—ingredient by ingredient, cross-referencing each one with the best available human studies. The problem: NSF certification sounds reassuring, but it doesn't give you access to actual test results. No heavy metal data. No pesticide levels. No certificate of analysis for the tub sitting in your kitchen right now. In this episode, Dr. G reveals: • Why factory-farmed whey spikes omega-6 fatty acids 2.5x more than grass-fed sources • The processing method that destroys up to 90% of cocoa's therapeutic benefits • Which ingredient requires 28% more insulin than regular table sugar • The "natural flavors" loophole hiding potentially hundreds of undisclosed chemicals • 6 cleaner whey protein alternatives that actually publish their third-party testing Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:36 - When Whey Protein Is Actually Incredible  2:14 - Grass-Fed vs Factory-Farmed Whey  3:29 - Breaking Down Every Ingredient  4:46 - The Hidden Danger in Chocolate Flavoring  5:23 - Maltodextrin, Artificial Sweeteners & Gut Health  7:25 - The Bottom Line on Optimum Nutrition  8:14 - 6 Better Whey Protein Brands Learn more about your ad choices.

Is your magnesium not working, even though you're taking it daily? Discover why magnesium is not working, how to choose the best type of magnesium, improve magnesium absorption, and avoid common magnesium supplement mistakes in this video. If you're taking magnesium for sleep and other benefits, yet you're still dealing with insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, leg cramps, anxiety, and more, this is for you. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It's involved in over 300 biochemical reactions and is vital for the following: • Heart rhythm• Healthy blood pressure levels• Sleep • Energy• Insulin • Nerve function • Mitochondrial functionHere are 8 common mistakes people make with magnesium, which could be the reason why your magnesium supplements are not working! 1. Thinking magnesium works by itself Magnesium and vitamin D are codependent. You need 4,000 to 10,000 IUs of vitamin D for magnesium to work properly in the body. If you don't have enough vitamin B6, potassium, or sodium, it may seem that your magnesium is not working. 2. Ignoring cell membrane damageMany people have damaged cell membranes due to the consumption of seed oils. You need healthy cell membranes for magnesium absorption. 3. Stress Stress shuts down digestion, lowers immunity, decreases blood flow to certain organs, and increases the demand for magnesium. Caffeine can also deplete magnesium.4. Taking the wrong type of magnesium Magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium in supplements, but it's the worst! Magnesium glycinate is a much better option and is the most absorbable. 5. Blocking magnesium absorption without knowingToo much calcium can block the absorption of magnesium. Zinc, fluoride, and aluminum can inhibit its function. Low stomach acid, antacids, and acid blockers can also interfere with magnesium absorption. 6. Misunderstanding RDAsRDAs do not represent a therapeutic dose. If you're trying to correct a magnesium deficiency, you need significantly more magnesium than the RDA. If you want to increase your magnesium intake, spread your doses throughout the day, as you can only absorb around 300 to 400 mg at once.7. Unrealistic expectations Vitamins and minerals do not work like drugs. It can sometimes take a while to restore healthy biochemistry in the body. 8. Missing the insulin connection Insulin resistance can block magnesium absorption, and consequently, a magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of insulin resistance.

Send us a textDating does not have to be confusing, exhausting, or expensive. We're pulling back the curtain on five practical rules that protect your heart, save your time, and set you up for a marriage that can actually thrive. From defining non‑negotiables to reading red flags without second‑guessing yourself, we walk through the mindsets and habits that turn your twenties into a launchpad instead of a landfill.We start by reframing the goal: Christlikeness over a wedding date. Contentment beats comparison, and wholeness beats hurried timelines. Then we get specific. Date on purpose using a 90‑day clarity window. Ask better questions about faith, direction, and character. Choose character over chemistry by testing for humility, forgiveness, and submission to godly authority. Pace the relationship with clear boundaries—public early dates, digital guardrails, and honest conversations about sex, soul ties, and healing. We also tackle love bombing, why it feels so real at first, and how accountability reveals the truth before it's too late.Money matters too. Check the credit, not just the chemistry, and bring debt, spending, tithing, and budgeting into the light so you can build trust instead of resentment. Finally, don't date alone. Isolation creates illusion; community brings clarity. Invite a married mentor and a wise peer, worship together, and let your circle call green, yellow, or red flags. Healthy relationships can handle scrutiny because they are built on truth.If this helped you rethink your standards or reset your pace, share it with a friend who needs clarity, subscribe for new episodes every Thursday at 3 p.m., and leave a review to tell us your biggest takeaway. Your future self will thank you.GET THE BETTER MARRIAGE BOOTCAMP HERE:Better Marriage Bootcamp (kenandtabatha.com)Better Marriage 90-Day Devotional:90 Day Better Marriage Devotional - Ken and Tabatha (square.site)DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY MEETING OUTLINE HERE ⬇️https://www.kenandtabatha.com/pl/2148103888

The human body is an unforgiving truth teller. You can lie to your friends, your coworkers, your spouse, and even your therapist. But your body keeps receipts.A rational person understands this early. Eat decently. Move occasionally. Get checked out once in a while. You do not need to be a triathlete or live on kale smoothies. You just need awareness. When something feels off, you investigate. Tightness in the chest is not a suggestion. It is a warning label.Healthy people catch problems early. They adjust. They survive.Unhealthy people do something else entirely. They normalize decline. This is where the Democratic Party lives.If the GOP is a middle-aged guy who gets a weird lab result and immediately Googles it, schedules a follow up, and cuts back on sugar, Democrats are the cast of My 600 Pound Life yelling at the scale because it refuses to validate their feelings.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of the most frustrating experiences around personal healing and transformation is when we know what we need to do, how to do it, have everything we need to take action (including time and energy), really want to take the action...and then we don't. When this happens, we feel we have failed and let ourselves down, and might even decide we are unworthy of healing and transformation because we have failed and "can't be trusted". There is a simple reason this pattern keeps appearing in your life: Your inner child is running the show. As a child you were not in control of what you did, when you did it, who you did it with, what you wore and ate, when you went to bed, and the list goes on. Today, when you decide you want to do something healthy, your inner child screams "I don't wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Now that you are an adult, supposedly in control of your actions, your inner child ends up in the driving seat and getting its way. This week in the podcast I will show you how to tap to get your inner child on board so that you can stop being your biggest obstacle to success. Support the podcast!

This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr Susan Friedman. Dr Friedman is one of our favorite guests on this podcast. She's a professor emeritus in the psychology department at Utah State University. She's been a long-time member of the Clicker Expo Faculty and she runs the very popular on-line course Behavior Works: Learning and Living with Animals. In Part 1 Susan shared with us her most recent project - the Behavior Works Zoo School which you can read about at BWZS.org. We talked about why teams matter. In Part 2 the conversation centers around how to develop great working teams. We talk about what it means to be a leader. How do you maintain control and support a creative, generative team? Susan talks about the different reinforcers people chase. There are individuals who want to be the empire builders. You can often recognize them by how often they use the word “I” in their presentations. And there are people who enjoy being part of a team, who enjoy collaborating and being influenced by others. In teams attribution is still important. When others take credit for your ideas, there's a sting that can fester into resentment. Susan discusses ways to maintain healthy teams.

Healthy relationships are not accidental; they are built on the foundational belief that we carry a personal responsibility to be our best selves. To keep a relationship thriving, we must develop the emotional vocabulary to process our discomfort. Real talk in partnership communications can help us translate our internal world to our partners, thereby boosting their understanding of what we are trying to convey. For communication tips for how to keep a relationship thriving, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Raffi Bilek, a licensed clinical social worker who helps couples hone their communication skills. Raffi breaks down four essential communication skills for couples, offering a roadmap for fighting fair and using real talk in partnership communication to become better partners. By clearing the path to simple, straightforward conversation, he challenges conventional wisdom with a liberating truth: it's actually okay to go to bed angry. Like what you're hearing?

Do you look like you're doing "fine" on the outside, but feel exhausted, frustrated, or stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage on the inside? In today's episode of Conquer the Day, Brian and Lindsey sit down with client Jessica Lynch to unpack what it really takes to get off the self-sabotage rollercoaster and find steady, sustainable peace with your health and life. Jessica shares her raw journey of moving from extremes and perfectionism to calm, consistency, and self-trust, without giving up her identity or drive. You'll hear how... ✅ Learning to sit with discomfort ✅ Changing her internal dialogue ✅ Letting go of the "something is wrong with me" narrative ...Completely transformed her relationship with fitness, food, and herself.  This conversation is especially for the high-functioning woman who keeps asking, "Why can't I just do this?" Tune in for a powerful reminder that you don't need to fix yourself, you need to trust yourself, and everything changes from there. Highlights Why self-sabotage often isn't a discipline problem... but a lack of self-trust and safety with yourself. How living in extremes (all-in or all-out) creates the emotional and physical rollercoaster so many high performers feel stuck on. Learning to sit with discomfort without numbing, escaping, or swinging back to perfectionism. The mindset shifts that turned fitness from punishment into a stabilizing, life-giving habit. Why calm, consistency, and the "middle ground" are not boring... but the foundation for lasting confidence, peace, and results.

This is part two of our series on dysfunctional families and ADHD.If last week's episode felt heavy, emotional, or disorienting, that makes sense. Episode one was about naming reality—and naming reality can stir grief, anger, relief, or all three. But we can't change what we're not willing to name.Today, we answer the next (and crucial) question:If that's dysfunction… what does health actually look like?Because knowing what you don't want isn't enough. You also need a clear picture of what you're moving toward.In this episode, I walk you through 10 signs of a healthy, functional family—not perfect families, not calm-all-the-time families, but regulated-enough, repair-focused, emotionally safe-enough families. Yes, even with ADHD.We talk about:Why repair—not perfection—is the real difference between healthy and dysfunctional familiesWhat direct communication, emotional attunement, boundaries, and accountability actually look like in real lifeHow to end parentification and create age-appropriate rolesWhy unconditional love, safety, and reliable care matter more than appearancesSmall, realistic shifts you can make without shame or perfectionismThis isn't a pass/fail checklist. It's about direction, not perfection.If you're pausing, noticing, repairing, and setting boundaries—you are already changing the pattern. And that's how generational cycles end.Your family can be marked by safety, honesty, connection, and repair. Even with ADHD. Especially with ADHD.Resources mentioned:@codependencykate@timfletcherco@sitwithwhit@benvbennettWatch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED!Have questions for Kristen?

Hey y'all! Kaleb and I are Kicking off our Month of Love series by tackling a topic we ALL start at: singleness. Whether you're single and thriving, single and frustrated, or just figuring it out — this episode is for you. We got real about what it's like being single in today's culture (Christian and not), the myths we were fed, and how to actually make the most of your single season. We talked about red flags, emotional baggage, addiction, and yes — the espresso martini epidemic

In this episode, I'm joined by Lindsey to talk about her newest book, Don't Burn Your Own House Down—a powerful and practical guide for couples who want to stop self-sabotaging their marriage and learn how to protect what matters most. We unpack how unhealthy rhythms, unmet expectations, loneliness, and emotional struggles can quietly fuel disconnection, and why waiting for your spouse to "fix it" first often makes things worse. Whether your marriage is thriving or struggling, this conversation offers honest insight and hopeful tools to help you fireproof your relationship and pursue deeper connection in every season.   Episode Takeaways Most marital damage is unintentional but preventable. Self-sabotage shows up in everyday habits. Waiting for your spouse to change first keeps couples stuck. Behavior change alone isn't enough. Healthy marriages are intentionally "fireproofed."   Quotes from this Episode: Most couples don't fall apart because they stop caring. They fall apart because they stop considering each other in the little, everyday moments. Playfulness isn't a luxury—it's an essential ingredient for a thriving, connected marriage. Outdo each other in showing honor, and watch how your marriage flourishes. Scorekeeping in marriage poisons connection. If it needs to start with you, let it start with you. Your reward isn't just in the result—it's in the faithfulness and honor you show, even when it's hard. In every word and action toward your spouse, you either speak life or spit poison. When Jesus is at the center of your marriage, your own pride and hurts matter less—making way for unity, healing, and lasting love.   Take time to Reflect: What little fire are you ignoring today?  Are you believing the lie that it's your spouse's job to take the first step?  What is one small change we could make this week to protect our connection?

Healthy habits are one of the greatest gifts we can give our children because habits quietly shape what they love and who they become. In this episode, Davies Owens is joined by Jeff Hendricks, headmaster at Providence Christian School of Texas, for a practical conversation about how formation happens through repeated, everyday actions.Jeff defines a habit as a repeated action that becomes instinctive. It begins with conscious effort, but over time it becomes automatic, like driving a car. That matters because the virtues we hope to see in adulthood, generosity, courage, hospitality, do not appear overnight. They are built through small faithful practices.A key theme throughout the conversation is that there is no neutral setting. Every child is learning habits of one kind or another, intentionally or passively. Jeff also addresses a common misconception: habit formation can sound harsh or overly strict, but discipline on the front end leads to freedom later. Like musicians and athletes, children gain joyful confidence when foundational skills become second nature.Jeff shares several “best of” habits Providence emphasizes with families:Prayer and reading God's Word: not necessarily formal or elaborate, sometimes simply reading Scripture together and praying. The point is consistency and priority.Attention: children cannot learn without it. Jeff offers practical ways to train attention at home, including multi-step instructions, narration, picture study, and observation exercises.Obedience: responding right away and all the way, with the understanding that respectful questions can happen at the right time. This trains children to relate rightly to God-given authority.Neatness and orderliness: restoring order to a space and to routines, even when it takes more time than doing it yourself.Serving others: training children to defer preferences and practice small acts of service that slowly reorient the heart away from self.Working hard and doing your best: building a “work before play” rhythm, teaching excellence without overwork, and helping children grow into wise self-management.In closing, Jeff encourages educators to keep habits simple and intentional, and he encourages parents that it is never too late to begin. Start where you are, choose one habit, and keep it steady. Often the best change is the one you quietly begin and faithfully continue.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupWisephone by TechlessZipCastWilson Hill Academy Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

One of the most powerful (and often unspoken) ways we shape our kids' relationship with money is through our own financial values and beliefs. The way we talk about money, how we feel about money and the habits we build around money ultimately become inherited by our children.In this solo episode, I reflect on the big hand we play as parents in creating our kids' money stories. I also explore what it looks like to model healthier financial skills with intention, clarity, and compassion—and why this work is as much a gift to ourselves as it is to the next generation.Modeling Healthy Money Skills for the Next GenerationOur kids look to us for guidance. They're always watching us, listening to us and absorbing everything we say and do, and it's no different when it comes to money. We're the ones teaching them and planting those seeds—whether we mean to be or not.The way we talk about money, react to stress, or make everyday decisions becomes the foundation of their financial narrative, shaping what they believe is normal, possible, or scary. That's why it's really important to stop and think about what we want to be modeling to our kids about money.Start by getting clear on your own values around money, including:What you want your kids to emotionally associate with money (stress, confidence, neutrality, joy).The beliefs you want to model around responsibility, self-sufficiency, generosity, and justice.When you become more intentional with both your beliefs and your emotions, you create space for open conversations, skill-building, and confidence—helping your children develop a relationship with money that feels grounded, empowered, and aligned with the life you want for them.Raising Money-Aware Kids in an Intentional WayLook for moments where everyday language and emotional reactions become powerful teaching tools. You'll notice how small shifts in awareness can transform money from a source of stress or silence into something you and your kids can talk about with honesty, clarity, and care.(00:06:45) Modeling Healthy Money Habits(00:08:01) Teaching Kids to Talk About Money(00:11:16) Navigating Emotional Reactions Around FinancesBuilding a Healthier Money Story at HomeYour words, reactions, and everyday habits quietly shape the money stories your kids carry into adulthood. By getting honest with your own values around money, you can model what you actually want to pass on to them, instead of defaulting to inherited beliefs or unconscious patterns. You'll also start to notice how emotional responses like stress, avoidance, or openness become powerful teachers, often more impactful than any formal lesson.This creates space to rethink money as a tool and a form of power that can be used responsibly and in alignment with your values. Ultimately, it's about giving your kids practical skills, emotional confidence, and a healthier relationship with money than many of us were ever taught.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

I loved reading Justin's book. As you can imagine, that made it hard to narrow down what parts of the book to focus on. But ultimately, I asked Justin if we could focus on the chapters of his book that covered 3 specific topics: breath, exercise and sex. It was such a good conversation!

Jamie Vinck is a seasoned behavioral health executive, therapist, and author of The Rehab Playbook. With a background in corporate HR and a powerful personal journey through family, leadership, and loss, Jamie brings a unique blend of clinical insight and real-world business acumen. As the CEO of The Meadows and a board leader in national addiction treatment efforts, she is passionate about helping people find healthier coping mechanisms and create lasting change. Her work bridges professional success and personal healing — a true catalyst for transformation. Three Key Quotes "Addiction is a chronic brain disease" "We all have coping strategies — they're healthy until they're not." "We heal in community. We're all hardwired for connection." Jamie Vinck shares her journey from corporate HR to behavioral health leadership, highlighting the realities of addiction, coping mechanisms, and life transitions. She unpacks how trauma, stress, and even success can mask addiction — and how finding a healthy outlet can be the catalyst for real healing and lasting transformation. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Redefining Addiction Addiction is not about willpower; it's a chronic disease with biological and psychological components. Misconceptions about addiction can delay treatment and increase stigma. Understanding addiction's complexity helps us become better allies and support systems. 2. Cross-Addiction is Real Switching from one addiction (e.g., opioids) to another (e.g., gambling or shopping) is common. The brain seeks dopamine, not the specific substance. Healthy coping mechanisms must be intentional and structured. 3. The Danger in Life Transitions Moments like empty nesting, divorce, or job loss can trigger relapse or new addictions. Many people don't see these changes as high risk, but they are. Awareness and preparation during transitions can prevent maladaptive behaviors. 4. Healthy Coping Isn't Always Healthy "Healthy" outlets like work or exercise can become addictions if they harm relationships or self-care. Self-reflection questions (e.g., "Am I hurting anyone?") help determine if habits are problematic. Balance is the key — passion shouldn't overshadow wellbeing. 5. Exposure Creates Possibility In treatment, people are introduced to new passions — journaling, sports, horses, music, and more. Discovery is key to replacing negative patterns with fulfilling practices. The light in someone's eyes when they find joy is a powerful catalyst for growth.

In this episode Victoria continues the exploration of leadership through the lens of the High Potential Trait Indicator (HPTI), building on the foundation laid in Part One.The conversation focuses on three critical leadership traits: Risk Approach, Ambiguity Acceptance, and Competitiveness — how they show up in individuals, teams, and organizations, and what happens when these strengths are overplayed. Through real-world examples, candid self-reflection, and DISC personality parallels, Victoria and Heather unpack how leaders navigate uncertainty, make decisions, manage conflict, and balance ambition with collaboration.The episode also introduces the concept of leadership derailers — the ways our greatest strengths can turn into liabilities when taken too far. By walking through common derailment patterns like perfectionism, aloofness, excessive caution, and passive resistance, listeners are invited into a practical and compassionate discussion about self-awareness and growth.This episode reinforces that leadership isn't about perfection or titles — it's about learning how to adapt, evolve, and lead effectively in everyday moments, both professionally and personally.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Facilitating opposing viewpoints: why more than one thing can be true00:00:32 – Welcome to Discovering You: Where Personality Meets Possibility00:01:00 – Mood check-in and DISC color conversation00:02:15 – Personal context and emotional awareness in leadership00:03:00 – DISC explained through a football analogy00:03:30 – Recap of HPTI and leadership traits from Part One00:04:00 – Trait #4: Risk Approach explained00:04:30 – High vs. low risk approach and DISC connections00:05:00 – Why risk approach matters in leadership00:05:30 – When high risk becomes a liability00:06:00 – How risk approach shows up in teams and groups00:07:00 – Personal reflections on risk tolerance and decision-making00:08:30 – Trait #5: Ambiguity Acceptance defined00:09:00 – Organizational culture and ambiguity tolerance00:09:30 – Leadership performance under uncertainty00:10:00 – The dangers of excessive ambiguity acceptance00:10:45 – Real-world facilitation examples and collaboration00:12:00 – Overplaying strengths and adaptability in business00:13:30 – Trait #6: Competitiveness explained00:14:15 – Healthy vs. unhealthy competitiveness in leadership00:15:00 – Individual and team dynamics around competition00:16:00 – Competing with others vs. competing with yourself00:18:45 – When competitiveness influences participation and motivation00:19:00 – Leadership derailment: when strengths become risks00:19:30 – Overview of the 10 common leadership derailers00:21:00 – Self-reflection: identifying personal derailment patterns00:22:30 – Perfectionism, excessive caution, and leadership awareness00:23:00 – Growth, coaching, and leadership beyond titles00:24:00 – Closing thoughts and how to learn moreIf you're interested in learning more about team building, coaching, strategic hiring and onboarding, let's connect!discoverwhatworks@gmail.com

Back for another life changing discussion, we have therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab to talk about healthy dependency in relationships – what it is, what's the difference from unhealthy dependency/codependency, and how to achieve it. We discuss how to not lose yourself in a relationship, dating someone who's enmeshed with their family, why our attachment styles aren't fixed and how we show up differently with different people, and the problem with hyper independence. We also discuss friendship enmeshment and when one friend needs space, accommodating friends' boundaries without losing them (and when you might need to cut someone off), navigating your best friend getting into a relationship, and how to understand different peoples' communication styles. We even touch on parenting and codependency with children. Before Nedra joins us, we analyze some wrong number texts Rayna has been receiving, and answer the question 'Can a morning person be with a non-morning person?' Enjoy!

Today we conclude the four part series of Dr. Wallach's research talk as he presents more of work on health and nutrification. In the second half of today's program we close with an impassioned talk by Dr. Wallach on the state of America's health is poor. We are nation suffering from mental degradation, cancers, compromised immune systems, disease and sickness. Much of this can be resolved through diet, nutrition and exercise. The root of that is nutrification of the body. Healthy, strong, mentally focussed, spiritually grounded people are not profitable for the medical industrial complex and not easy to control. The whole body health approach we discuss each week is about taking charge of your health and letting God's mastery heal and restore.  #BardsFM_HealthAndWellness #DrJoelWallach #Nutrification Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

   So much buildup and so little sizzle as Mayor Q is a panelist on CBS Face the Nation and I'm really disappointed.  We were hoping he'd be asked about KC being the per capita homeless capital of America or his police chief declaring "drastic" measures to cutback the force because the budget is whacked.  Instead, he almost got edited out completely.    The word around the cowtown is the Chiefs will be announcing the exact location of their new stadium this week... we'll tell you where the smart money is.  Meanwhile, the Royals say they will be announcing their decision sooner than later where they are going.    NBA coach Steve Kerr has been forced to apologize for his outrageous lies about the Trump administration and ICE.  It was real.  But another coach won't back off and is worried ICE will start kidnapping international players and sending them home.  What a fool.    KU star Darryn Peterson sits again after KU built a huge lead over BYU.  He's healthy for tonight's game so maybe this was something else.  I have a new theory.    Mark Turgeon is the new basketball coach at Kansas City (UMKC) and this is a great hire.  Goalies throw down at center ice and one of the world's most famous musicians makes a video in the middle of the Tallgrass Prairie reserve in the Flint Hills.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch unpack a surprising trend from a recent CDC report: many traditional adolescent risk behaviors are declining, but anxiety and fear are rising. While this may sound like good news on the surface, the conversation asks a deeper question: What happens when kids don't take the kinds of risks that help them grow? Dr. Kathy clarifies that this isn't about encouraging dangerous behavior, but about restoring appropriate, guided risk, the kind that builds confidence, competence, humility, and resilience. From trying out for a team to walking to the library alone, kids need chances to stretch, stumble, succeed, and recover. When parents remove every risk in the name of safety, children may internalize fear rather than strength. The episode also speaks directly to parents' hearts. Letting kids struggle is hard. Watching disappointment hurts. But our response in those moments, whether we frame the experience as growth or regret, shapes how children understand themselves. When kids know they are supported and not defined by outcomes, they grow into adults who believe they can handle life. Grounded in Jesus' parable of the talents in Matthew 25, this conversation reframes risk taking as stewardship rather than recklessness. Avoiding all risk doesn't preserve potential; it buries it. Parents are encouraged to know their individual child well and offer a longer leash when the stakes are manageable. In doing so, they help their kids develop the courage and resilience they'll need for the darker, harder moments that inevitably come later in life.

In this episode, host Kyle Polich speaks with Roan Schellingerhout, a fourth-year PhD student at Maastricht University, about explainable multi-stakeholder recommender systems for job recruitment. Roan discusses his research on creating AI-powered job matching systems that balance the needs of multiple stakeholders—job seekers, recruiters, HR professionals, and companies. The conversation explores different types of explanations for job recommendations, including textual, bar chart, and graph-based formats, with findings showing that lay users strongly prefer simple textual explanations over more technical visualizations. Roan shares insights from his "healthy friction" study, which tested whether users could distinguish between real AI-generated explanations and randomly generated ones, revealing that participants often used explanations as information sources rather than decision-making tools. The discussion delves into the technical architecture behind these systems, including the use of knowledge graphs built from tabular data, inference rules, and large language models to generate human-friendly explanations. Roan explains how his research aims to open the black box of recommender systems, making them more transparent and trustworthy for non-technical users. Looking forward, he discusses ongoing work on automated knowledge graph construction from resumes and job listings, research into fairness considerations around gender and location, and plans for real-world testing with actual job seekers. The episode concludes with Roan's vision for the future: AI systems that support rather than replace human recruiters, making the job search process less grueling while maintaining the essential human judgment that recruitment requires.  

This week on Beyond the Letter, Sammy hosts a conversation on teamwork—what it really takes to build healthy teams, healthy culture, and healthy leadership in everyday life. Joined by his wife Chandler and their friend Haron, they unpack why collaboration matters more than ever, how unity can exist without everyone thinking the same, and why “going far” requires learning to stay connected even through disagreements. From leadership circles to friendships and family rhythms, the thread is simple: you don't have to carry everything alone.They also go practical with holistic health—body, mind, relationships, and spirituality—sharing a framework Chandler uses in her counseling work (biopsychosocial + spiritual) and how healthy habits shape strong teams over time. The episode closes with a powerful culture takeaway: culture isn't just what we do—it's why we do it… and the language we repeat is what we end up defending. Plus, Andy jumps in with a Gen Z perspective on building “teams” even when you're introverted or your circle is small.--Connect with:Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/Chandler Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/chandlerbrod/--Check out Adam's website!https://www.adammesa.org/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

Struggling with motivation lately? You're not broken and you're definitely not lazy.  In this episode, I share a real-time reflection on why motivation feels shaky during seasons of massive identity transition, especially when life, work, and motherhood are all evolving at once. When our identity is clear, action feels easy but when we're questioning who we are becoming, everything can feel heavy and confusing. I break down why motivation is an unreliable driver and why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck. We dive into the three things that actually create follow-through: commitment, identity, and systems. I'll challenge how you think about commitment (with a comparison that might sting a little), and explain why saying you're committed isn't the same as acting like it.  We'll talk about how anchoring your actions to who you want to be, not just what you want to achieve, changes everything. I'll also walk through practical ways to reduce friction by building systems that support you on low-energy days. If you're in a season of transition, questioning your next chapter, or frustrated with your lack of consistency, this episode will help you reframe motivation and rebuild alignment. Stop waiting to feel motivated and start building something that works even when motivation is gone.  Time Stamps: (2:02) Moving, Second Trimester, and The Swings of Motivation(4:17) Forcing Myself To Show Up This Month(8:17) Feel Motivated After The Action(10:41) Commitment, Identity, and Systems(10:52) What is Commitment?(17:36) Identity and Who You're Becoming(23:52) Systems(26:22) Tangible Steps You Can Take This Week(29:57) Giving You What You Need---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly sits down with Dr. Charles Knowles, professor of surgery at Queen Mary University of London and author of Why We Drink Too Much.This is a deep, science-forward conversation about why humans drink alcohol, why some people lose control while others don't, and how culture, biology, psychology, and learning all intersect in our relationship with alcohol.Dr. Knowles shares his personal journey through alcohol dependence, recovery, and ultimately peace—alongside the neuroscience, history, and behavioral science that explain why alcohol can quietly shift from pleasure to reliance.If you've ever wondered “Why me?”, questioned your own drinking without fitting neatly into a label, or felt stuck in the gray area between “fine” and “not fine,” this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and perspective.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy problematic drinking is not a moral failure or lack of willpowerThe difference between reward drinking and relief drinking—and why that shift mattersWhy consumption alone is a poor measure of alcohol's impactThe Three C's of Drinking: Consumption, Consequences, and ControlWhat “alcohol reliance” means—and why so many people live in this gray areaWhy sobriety, abstinence, and neutrality are not the same thingHow emotional sobriety and peace are built after (or alongside) behavior changeWhy understanding the brain can help some people change—and why action still mattersThe role of culture, normalization, and storytelling in how we relate to alcoholWhy a period of alcohol-free time can be valuable, regardless of long-term goalsKey Concepts DiscussedAlcohol as a learned behavior, not a character flawPsychological dependence vs. physical dependenceCognitive dissonance in gray-area drinkingNeuroplasticity and habit reinforcementEmotional sobriety as a state of mind, not a rule setIdentity, agency, and discovering who you are without alcohol driving the storyNotable Quote“Peace is an incredibly important thing—and it's not until you find it that you realize you never had it.”About the GuestDr. Charles Knowles is a professor of surgery at Queen Mary University of London, a consultant colorectal surgeon, and the author of over 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications. Why We Drink Too Much is his first popular science book, combining rigorous research with lived experience to challenge how we think about alcohol, addiction, and recovery.Recommended ResourceWhy We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture by Dr. Charles KnowlesFinal TakeawayChanging your relationship with alcohol isn't about labels, perfection, or deprivation. It's about understanding what's driving your behavior, questioning old narratives, and creating enough space to build peace—mentally, emotionally, and physically.This episode is an invitation to look at alcohol with curiosity instead of judgment—and to remember that meaningful change is always possible.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

Healthy relationships require that we are open to being influenced. After all, what is a relationship if it doesn't include give and take. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer explains what both research and experience has taught him about the importance of accepting influence in relationships.  Show notes:  What does accepting relational influence mean?   Allowing those we are in relationship with to shape and impact our thinking, feeling and behaving.   What does not accepting relational influence look like?  Relationship rigidity resulting in dismissing or being un-moved by the input, wisdom, experience and interaction of another individual.   What does the research say?  Husbands who accept influence from their wives tend to have happier and more satisfying relationships.  The more influence a spouse is willing to accept, the more influential they can be.  What makes accepting relational influence difficult?  Being defensive or the tendency to recoil from perceived challenges.  Black and white thinking or the tendency to see matters in either/or categories.  Avoidant or the tendency to avoid relationship disagreement and friction.  Misunderstood roles in relationship or the tendency to enter a relationship with a role modeled or taught to you that does not permit influence.  Lack of relationship safety.   What happens if we don't accept influence?  The relationship tends towards disconnection.  Does accepting influence mean finding agreement?  Yes and no. Yes – you both agree that the other is worth understanding well enough to know when and how to yield to them. No – agreement is not the objective. In fact, disagreement is common and still should include influence.  What does healthy influence look like amid disagreement?  When a person says "no" in a relationship, they should simultaneously say "yes" to the friend or spouse they are in relationship with. By this we mean, those we are in relationship should always feel they have been understood and valued enough to have influenced us regardless of the decision at hand.

Jesus is still saying what He said 2,000 years ago: "Follow Me." And He doesn't mean only on Sundays, but every day. Pastor Greg Laurie shares how we can put Jesus first in our lives and move away from things that pull us down. Notes: Luke 5 Social media is stealing hours you can never get back. The algorithm is designed to capture your attention and never let go- Who or what are you following? You will become like the people you follow.You will reflect their values, or lack thereof. It’s time to follow Jesus. Social media influencers want your attention.Jesus wants your heart. Jesus is here for you.He says, “Follow Me.” The bible challenges you to check on yourself. Are you really a Christian? Or are you just pretending to be one? (2 Corinthians 13:5) Acts 11:26 (NLT)It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. To call the believers Christians was a mockery.It meant “little Christs.” Matthew 7:22 (NKJV)“Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?” Matthew 7:23 (NKJV)And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” John 14:15 (NKJV)If you love Me, keep My commandments. Are you a follower of Jesus Christ? Read Luke 5:27–32 Luke 5:28 (NLT)So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him. Why did Matthew change so quickly? Jesus simply looked at him and said two words, "Follow Me.” Luke 5:31 (NLT)Jesus answered them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do.” God will come to us in a way we can understand. To the military man Joshua, Jesus came as a general.To the combative Jacob, He came as a wrestler.To the astrologers, the Wisemen, through a star in the heavens. Psalm 18:25 (NIV)To the faithful you show yourself faithful,to the blameless you show yourself blameless, Psalm 18:26 (NIV)to the pure you show yourself pure,but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. If you are drowning in guilt and shame,Jesus offers you forgiveness and relief. If you feel like you don’t belong,Jesus makes room at His table. God does not turn people away because of who they are.He comes to them because of it. Luke 5:27Later, as Jesus left the town, He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector's booth and said, "Follow Me.” Tax collectors collected exorbitant taxes from each person daily.Often, they skimmed off the top or charged more than was required and pocketed the profit. Matthew was considered a traitor, a turncoat, a backslider, and a collaborator with Rome. The people who put up the biggest fight are often closer than those who don’t fight at all. Jesus knew that Matthew wanted a relationship with God.Jeremiah 29:13 Matthew couldn't bring himself to leave that tax booth and go to Jesus. Most non-Christians say they have never had a Christian explain the gospel clearly. The word used for saw, means to gaze intently upon, to stare, to fix one's eyes constantly upon an object. 1 Peter 2:9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. A people belonging to God that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Matthew bolted at the chance to follow and serve Jesus. “Follow Me” means to walk the same road. Following Jesus is not just something we do on Sunday. Jesus wants to be a part of everything you do and everywhere you go.Romans 13:14 How do we follow Jesus?Through prayer and Bible study. Start the day with the Bible.End the day with the Bible. Joshua 1:8 (NLT)Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. “Follow Me” also means to "Follow with Me," meaning companionship and friendship. Matthew happily jumped at the chance of a lifetime.Luke 5:27 Matthew knew the cost and willingly paid it. An old Scottish preacher called this “The expulsive power of a new affection.” When a person really meets Jesus Christ, they cannot leave the old life fast enough. Matthew lost a career but gained a destiny.He lost his material possessions but gained a spiritual fortune. Matthew was so excited that he decided to throw a party for Jesus.Luke 5:29 Jesus sees you for who you are, and He sees you for who you can be.
