Fatigue isn't just about feeling tired, but also your body's warning signal that something much deeper is out of balance.  In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, founder of the Energy MD Method, to uncover his proven four-step process for restoring energy, reversing long COVID, and resolving chronic fatigue for good. We discuss the Toxic Five: the underlying root causes that drain your vitality and how you can retrain your nervous system, open detox pathways, and naturally restore your mitochondria. Dr. Hirsch shares his personal five-year battle with exhaustion, what finally worked, and how thousands have reclaimed their energy using the same framework.    "Our bodies are always working for our best interest. You can't just replace mitochondria 'to high heaven' and expect results.

In the Pulse of Franconia: A View of the Nuremberg Underground Scene Far away from the commercial glitter world, where honest music beats to the rhythm of the city, we illuminate the pulsating Nuremberg underground scene. Our expedition leads us deep into the electronic hemisphere of the Franconian metropolis, in search of the "hottest shit"—the authentic and unadulterated sounds that define the true sound of Nuremberg. Amidst the urban fabric, away from mainstream hotspots like Die Rakete or Hirsch—which serve as established venues—lies an oasis of creative independence: the collective nb grooves. This artist collective has made it its mission to consolidate the underground culture and give it a common platform, always focusing on local players and the interplay of different genres and crews. nb grooves is more than just an event organizer; it is a center of gravity for those whose roots are deeply anchored in the underground. Whether it's the unconventional beats of Ivan le Mutant or Trip Inc, the profound soundscapes of Wartenberg, or the energetic sets of Stefan Riegauf and Hannoi—they all embody the essential energy and the courage for the niche that distinguishes this scene. They create a counter-world where the music itself is the headliner. Rts.fm is taking a close look at these currents. We inspect the scene in its purest, most original form, searching for the direct, unadulterated, and true musical expression of this city. It is a sonic retrospective, an archaeological search for the frequencies that shape Nuremberg and its Franconian surroundings beyond the popular buzz. Our goal is to peel back the layers and give a voice to those artists whose works most authentically reflect the raw and passionate soul of electronic music. Stefan Riegauf The Nuremberg native, born in Schwabach in 1972, turned his love for music into a profession early on. His passion for vinyl and electronic music led to his first steps as DJ Solaris at the legendary Prime Rose Club in Nuremberg. In 1996, he opened his own record store, "Recordstore," together with Stefan Volkert (Warren). With him, he also organized events like "SoundLab" at Desi for several years and formed the DJ duo Warren & Solaris. From 2003, he was the literal heart of the Nuremberg techno and house club "Die Rakete" (The Rocket), which he successfully co-managed until 2020. As a Rakete resident, his warm and organic sound, somewhere between House and Techno, evolved there. With empathy for the dancefloor, an instinct for the right track at the right time, and influences from Dub, Acid, and Electronica, he always manages to span a large arc across his sets. For his own event series "Super Klub," he invited fellow DJs such as Levon Vincent, Subb-An, Gerd Janson, Barnt, and many more. His monthly event series "Mitkete" at the "Mitte Soundbar" was also a constant fixture of Nuremberg's nightlife for years. Since 2014, he has been releasing tracks produced with Markus Homm on labels such as Bondage, Cyclic, and Brise, including remixes by Mihai Popoviciu and Schlepp Geist. With nearly 30 years of experience behind the decks, he repeatedly manages to create surprising moments and transmit a positive vibe.

Ein verschwundener Junge, ein Hilferuf an einen weißen Hirsch und die Spuren von drei anscheinend stählernen Klauen auf dem Küchenfußboden des Pfarrhauses. Die Katzen-Detektivin Guinevere McFurnose hat alle Pfoten voll zu tun, diesen rätselhaften Fall aufzuklären. Ihr zur Seite stehen Arthur, die Maus mit Kirchenasyl und ihr guter Freund Merlin, ein Kater von Geist und Verstand, so gebildet, dass er sogar lesen und schreiben kann. (Ein (Kriminal-)Hörspiel von Frank Halbach. Mit Xenia Tiling, Stefan Merki, Lina Cihaber und anderen. BR 2025)

I am delighted to connect with a physician friend and colleague, Dr. Heather Hirsch, today. Dr. Hirsch is an entrepreneur and a board-certified internist by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is also the Founder and CEO of Health by Heather Hirsch, and has a telemedicine practice offering best-in-class individualized care for perimenopause and menopause. In our discussion, we explore heavy menstrual cycles and the benefits of journaling and shared decision-making. We discuss common and frustrating causes of weight loss resistance in middle age, the power of strength training and adequate protein intake, and estrogen as a metabolic regulator that is intricately linked to many physical systems, including digestion. We also examine how educating clinicians on shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause could prevent countless ER visits, and we tackle concerns surrounding contraception and pregnancy prevention in perimenopause, a biopsychosocial approach to low libido, and the often-overlooked silent symptoms Dr. Hirsch often sees in perimenopause and beyond. Today's conversation with Dr. Hirsch is truly invaluable. I highly recommend her Perimenopause Survival Guide, written by an internal medicine doctor extremely well-versed in perimenopause and menopause. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormonal fluctuations disrupt the body and create confusion in perimenopause The benefits of journaling  How hormonal and lifestyle shifts disrupt metabolism, weight, and insulin sensitivity during perimenopause Why body composition changes matter more than your weight How declining estrogen affects insulin resistance, metabolism, and diabetes risk The value of shared decision-making  How hormones, medications, sleep, relationships, and past trauma can cause changes in libido  How siloed healthcare often leaves perimenopause symptoms misunderstood  How irregular ovulation increases pregnancy risk and why hormone therapy is not a contraceptive Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Heather Hirsch On her website YouTube  Social media: @Heather Hirsch MD

Menopause may be having it's "moment" but what about the years leading up to the big event, aka perimenopause? What is happening to our bodies during this radical change? We invited back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Heather Hirsch to educate us on all things perimenopause. The reality is that many women over 35 start this hormonal rollercoaster ride and they don't even realize it. In her new book, The Perimenopause Survival Guide: Make Sense of Your Symptoms and Build Your Personalized Treatment plan, Dr. Hirsch has created an expert-led guide to explain what is happening in our bodies during perimenopause and how to take charge of our health. From decoding your symptoms to explaining the treatments that may be right for you, Dr. Hirsch has created another invaluable resource for women's health.

2024 was het dodelijkste jaar ooit voor hulpverleners in oorlogsgebied. Hoe garanderen we de veiligheid van medisch personeel in de landen waar zij het hardst nodig zijn?Op 3 oktober 2015 kwamen er in Kunduz 42 mensen om het leven bij een Amerikaanse luchtaanval op een ziekenhuis van Artsen Zonder Grenzen. De slachtoffers waren uitsluitend zorgverleners en patiënten. Tien jaar na dit dodelijke bombardement gaan we in gesprek over de veiligheid van zorgverleners, ziekenhuizen en patiënten in oorlogsgebied.Want de situatie verslechtert in rap tempo. Steeds vaker zijn hulpverleners, soms zelfs bewust, doelwit. 2024 was het dodelijkste jaar tot nu toe. De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO) registreerde vorig jaar 1635 aanvallen op gezondheidscentra, met 937 doden – hulpverleners dan wel patiënten – en 1774 gewonden tot gevolg. Met name in Gaza en Soedan, waar de meeste hulpverleners omkwamen, is medische hulp bieden een levensgevaarlijke onderneming. Met als gevolg dat zieke kinderen, zwangere vrouwen en oorlogsgewonden niet de zorg krijgen die ze nodig hebben.Voorlopige gegevens wijzen er volgens Unicef op dat het jaar 2025 nóg dodelijker dreigt te worden voor hulpverleners als er niet wordt ingegrepen.Hoe heeft het zover kunnen komen?

In this episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with Amanda Hirsch, the voice behind the hit podcast and Instagram account Not Skinny But Not Fat. Known for her witty, unfiltered takes on pop culture and reality TV, Amanda opens up about her journey from acting and odd jobs in Israel to becoming one of the internet's go-to voices on celebrity culture. They dive into everything from boy-mom life and her unapologetic obsession with pop culture (yes, the Britney and Justin breakup was a turning point) to the behind-the-scenes of launching Not Skinny But Not Fat. Amanda shares how she went from a meme page to interviewing A-listers, how becoming a mom didn't change things, and how she balances sharing opinions while navigating the sensitive side of gossip. From her first big celebrity interview to the moments that made her spiral, her reality TV recs, and what it's really like meeting your icons, Amanda proves that loving the “silly stuff” can build a serious career. It's a funny, honest, and refreshing conversation about building something on your own terms, and how you can feel truly content when you embrace what you love.

In 2011, Coca-Cola introduced a white version of their Coca-Cola can. The drink inside was identical to original Coca-Cola, but customers drinking from this white can hated the taste.  The white can made buyers think the Cola tasted worse.  To explain why, I need to delve into the science of sensehacking. With Professor Adrian North, I'll explain why tennis players grunt loudly, why cars smell different when new, how a tablecloth alters our taste, and that music changes what you buy.  ---  Join the Nudge Vaults waiting list: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Join the Nudge Unit waiting list: https://maven.com/nudge-unit/course-cohort Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list   Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/   Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/  ---  Today's sources  Bschaden, A., Dörsam, A., Cvetko, K., & Stroebele-Benschop, N.

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Laurie Hirsch Schultz, a transformational coach, nonprofit leader, and founder of LHS Coaching. Laurie's career journey—from over two decades in corporate marketing at Kraft Foods and Visa to becoming a trusted coach and community leader—offers a powerful reminder that change is not something to resist but to embrace. Laurie brings to her clients a unique blend of corporate savvy, coaching expertise, and a deep passion for helping people find clarity when they reach what she calls inflection points. These are moments when life nudges—or pushes—you to recognize that what once worked no longer does. Whether it's career dissatisfaction, a health scare, a layoff, or simply the realization that you're ready for something new, inflection points are opportunities to redefine what comes next. From Corporate Success to Coaching Purpose Laurie enjoyed a successful career at Kraft Foods and Visa, thriving in marketing and strategy roles. But after more than 20 years, she hit her own inflection point: the work no longer aligned with her values. Rather than pushing through, she took a bold step. She negotiated an exit plan, gave herself what she called a “reboot year,” and invested in coaching and reflection. That pause was pivotal. Laurie discovered that what she loved most wasn't just the marketing itself, but the mentoring, coaching, and team-building along the way. Out of that realization grew her coaching practice, where she now helps others navigate the complexity of transition. The Power of a Personal Compass Laurie's process begins with what she calls a personal compass. This is more than a vision statement—it's a grounding framework built around four key elements: Core Values – The non-negotiables that must guide decisions and actions. Mission – How you want to impact the world and show up in it. Energies – The activities, relationships, and pursuits that light you up. Capabilities – The skills and strengths that differentiate you, not just what you can do, but what you want to do. This compass serves as a touchstone, allowing clients to navigate life and career changes with greater clarity and confidence. It becomes especially powerful during times of uncertainty, when the “shoulds” of culture or family expectations may cloud what truly matters. Experimentation and the Permission to Change Clarity, however, is not enough. Laurie stresses the importance of experimentation—testing possibilities in small, manageable ways. That might mean scheduling coffee conversations with people in new fields, volunteering in a nonprofit role, or taking on stretch projects at work. These experiments open doors to new opportunities and perspectives while reducing the fear of change. And this is where Laurie offers something many of us forget: permission to change. So often, we keep doing what we've always done—even when it makes us unhappy—because it feels safe or because others have boxed us in. Laurie helps clients give themselves the grace and courage to step through new doors, even if what's on the other side looks different than expected. Coaching as a Gift to Yourself Laurie distinguishes coaching from therapy or consulting. Therapy often looks backward; consulting provides external solutions. Coaching, in contrast, is about partnering with clients to ask the right questions, surface insights, and guide them forward. It is future-focused, client-led, and deeply transformative. As Laurie puts it, coaching is a gift—a purposeful pause that helps you reconnect with who you are, gain confidence in your strengths, and create a future aligned with your values. Watch our video podcast on YouTube. Key Takeaways Listen to the inner voice. When something no longer feels right, don't ignore it. Inflection points are signs it's time for change. Define your personal compass. Ground yourself in your values, mission, energy sources, and unique capabilities. Challenge the “shoulds.” Cultural and personal expectations can limit growth; real transformation begins by questioning them. Experiment your way forward. Try new roles, conversations, or volunteer work to clarify what resonates before making big leaps. Give yourself permission. You don't need to stay stuck in a box. Change is not failure—it's an act of self-leadership. Coaching is an investment. Partnering with a coach can help you pause, reflect, and move forward with confidence and clarity. Laurie's story is a reminder that change, while uncomfortable, is often the catalyst for growth and transformation. We may not always know what's on the other side of the door, but with clarity, experimentation, and courage, we can step through and discover new ways of living and working that truly align with who we are.

Joe Hirsch the CEO of Swivel and former CEO of SpringServe, shares his journey through the ad tech industry, discussing his experiences with affiliate marketing, ad serving, and the evolution of ad operations. He emphasizes the importance of operational efficiency and the role of AI in optimizing ad campaigns, while also addressing the future of AdOps and the integration of technology in the advertising space. Takeaways Joe Hirsch has a long history in ad tech, starting from affiliate marketing. He co-founded multiple companies, including Spring Serve, which was acquired by Magnite. Swivel aims to automate repetitive tasks in ad operations to improve efficiency. The ad server business model requires scaling operations without increasing labor costs. Swivel integrates AI to replicate and scale human decision-making in ad operations. AI is not meant to replace humans but to augment their capabilities. The future of AdOps will see agents as primary users of ad platforms. Precision in ad operations is crucial to avoid costly mistakes. AdOps professionals should embrace AI technologies to enhance their skills. The ad tech industry is evolving rapidly, with AI playing a significant role. Chapters 00:00Introduction to Joe Hirsch and His Journey 04:48Transitioning from Spring Serve to Swivel 10:58Understanding Swivel's Operational Efficiency 16:07The Future of AdOps and AI Integration The Refresh News: September 15:Google's AdTech Filing, Magnite's AI Bet, and YouTube's NFL Debut This episode of The Refresh covers three major stories shaping advertising this week: Google's eyebrow-raising statements in its AdTech antitrust remedies filing, Magnite's acquisition of creative production platform Streamer AI, and YouTube's first-ever exclusive NFL broadcast. Host Kate breaks down the implications of each development for advertisers, publishers, and platforms in the evolving digital ecosystem. Google's court filing revealed open web display ads purchased through AdWords dropped to 11% in January 2025, down from 40% in 2019, sparking concerns over the open web's decline. Google defended itself by attributing ad spend shifts to CTV and retail media, while critics highlighted its dominance in directing referral traffic through AI-driven search changes. Magnite announced the acquisition of Streamer AI to help small and mid-sized businesses overcome creative production hurdles in connected TV advertising. The CTV market is expanding rapidly, with Nielsen reporting 75% of TV viewing is ad-supported and eMarketer projecting $33B in CTV ad spend for 2025, though measurement challenges remain. YouTube's first free exclusive NFL broadcast drew 17.3M viewers globally, surpassing Amazon's 2024 averages but raising questions about sustaining viewership once games move behind a paywall.
