Hydrox cookies are known as a cheap knock-off of Oreos, to the point that Hydrox has become pop culture shorthand for “second best.” But did you know that Hydrox came first? And that these two cookies have a rivalry that goes back more than 100 years? This week Dan talks with Mackenzie Martin, a host of the KCUR Studios podcast A People's History of Kansas City. Mackenzie tells Dan about a war that started in Kansas City – the sandwich cookie war, and reveals why Hydrox was banished to obscurity, despite being the original sandwich cookie. Check out Mackenzie's full story on the Oreo-Hydrox wars here. For more photos and videos of Kansas City history, check out A People's History Of Kansas City Instagram!

Which Oreo knock off is best? The original creme filled chocolate sandwich cookie was released in 1908 by Hydrox, a couple years later Nabisco responded with Oreo. Despite Oreo not being the original, they somehow ended up changing the snack game forever. Although there are alternatives out there (including Hydrox being an Amazon exclusive) we are going to anoint Oreo king and compare them to 3 of their off brands to see if any of the little guys can compete with Oreo in a blind taste test. This weeks contenders are Oreo, Trader Joe's, Wal-Mart, and Whole Foods. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com. SPOILER!

Before Oreos, there was the Hydrox, the original sandwich cookie. And it was created by Kansas City's own Jacob Loose. After disappearing for years, Hydrox are back on the shelf — but only if you know where to look.
South African firm Hydrox Holdings has developed a new way of extracting hydrogen for use in cars and other applications that it believes will help usher in a new era of plentiful clean energy for the world. The company, based in Pretoria, has won a number of awards and other accolades for its patented intellectual property, which involves extracting hydrogen from water using a "membrane-less" electrolyser technology that it has developed and now patented globally. Corrie de Jager, the CEO and founder of Hydrox Holdings, joins the TechCentral Show to chat about the progress the company has made in recent years in developing the technology - and why he is now looking for investors to help commercialise it. De Jager, who has been working on the technology for more than two decades, claims the technology could help move the world to non-polluting and mass-scale hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars more quickly by dramatically reducing the cost of producing hydrogen gas from water. In this episode of TCS, he unpacks: * Where the idea to build a membrane-less electrolyser came from; * The proofs of concept the company has launched; * The hurdles that Hydrox's team has had to overcome while developing the technology; * The cost and production advantages of membrane-less electrolysers; * Why hydrogen could be the next big thing in the field of energy; * What's stopping the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars; and * Where Hydrox plans to take the technology and how it intends to commercialise it.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Green hydrogen produced on site can play a huge role in solving the energy crisis as it eliminates the challenges associated with establishing electrical distribution networks over vast distances, says Hydrox Holdings CEO Corrie de Jager. "Access to dependable energy can be the catalyst to improving the lives of many and with access to electricity the potential of Africa's people can be developed," De Jager points out in a release to Engineering News & Mining Weekly. Hydrox's Proudly South African divergent electrode flow through (DEFTTM) technology, already a recipient of South Africa's National Science and Technology Forum Award for Innovation, last year won top recognition in Monaco at the principality's inaugural hydrogen forum. DEFT allows hydrogen-producing electrolysers to operate without membranes at higher temperatures, resulting in significantly improved electrical efficiencies. The African Hydrogen Partnership estimates that more than 600-million people in Africa have no access to electricity. "To replace paraffin and diesel with methanol and hydrogen is going to make a massive impact in people's lives," says De Jager. "At conference after conference we learn about big plans and vast amounts available for the development of green hydrogen in South Africa but the execution of these plans is unfortunately lacking. "Many engineers and firms, including ourselves, that have the technology and knowhow to immediately implement hydrogen-related projects, are faced with the harsh reality that access to funding is just about impossible. "The relevant governmental agencies, and even the venture capital firms in control of these funds, are so busy 'de-risking' projects that smaller enterprises are denied access to funding - and in the process South Africa is losing valuable skills and technology," he says. Hydrox calculates that its membraneless DEFT has the potential to reduce the cost of producing hydrogen by up to 30%. Envisaged when Hydrox beat off 15 global strongholds, among them the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and India to win its Monoco award, was that the principality could use the South African technology in a marine context. "They've got these huge motor boats lying out there in the harbour, massive ones, that all use diesel, and they want to replace the diesel with green hydrogen - as do the countries alongside them, such as Spain and Italy, Gibraltar and Malta. They all approached us. They have a huge need to get into the green hydrogen space," De Jager told Engineering News & Mining Weekly last December. "There is great excitement about South Africa's plans to take advantage of our abundant sunshine and to a lesser degree our wind resources to generate green hydrogen industries for export to Europe and Japan. "This is great news for all our green pundits but from a purely practical view, it is difficult to see how we in South Africa can compete in the export market," he contends. Australia is investing heavily in green hydrogen; existing pipelines of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt, with already developing green hydrogen zones, can pump methanol at low cost; Namibia, with existing infrastructure in place, is receiving financial support from Germany; and Spain, with significant solar and wind resources, is developing its own green hydrogen industries. Germany is completing a study which indicates that South Africa needs to make itself more competitive. At the end of the month, Hydrox will, once again, be presenting in Monaco, where it will be highlighting a solution to large-scale energy storage at high energy efficiencies. DEFT, without a membrane, allows for higher temperature production and can operate off seawater and treated acid mine water. Standard electrolysers use a heat exchanger system to remove excess heat so that it does not supersede the maximum operating temperature of the membrane. Within DEFT, this excess temp...

Welcome to March 6th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate teeth specialists and a cookie imposter. There was a time that if you needed a haircut and had a toothache, you would go to the same place. A barbershop. Barbers weren't proper dentists—they didn't provide any preventive services or teeth cleaning. But they did perform tooth extractions if someone was in pain. They used something called a dental key, which was an early version of forceps. This practice started in the Middle Ages and didn't end until the 1800s, when dentists and barbers became two separate things. And thank goodness for that. On National Dentist Day, we celebrate the people who keep us smiling and the fact that we can get our hair cut without worrying about Novocaine. If I asked you what kind of cookie has two crunchy chocolate biscuits with cream filling between them, you would say…? Well, if you would have asked someone that question in the early 1900s, they would have given you a different answer. Hydrox. When Oreos made their debut in 1912, Hydrox had already been on the market for 4 years. In fact, Hydrox launched ad campaigns to make sure consumers knew that the new cookies were imposters. For years, Oreos didn't make any money for the Nabisco company and they might have disappeared without a strong ad strategy and a redesign. In the 1950s, Oreos overtook their rival in popularity and Hydrox began to look like the imposter. On National Oreo Cookie Day, celebrate this classic with a glass of milk and maybe a twist. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What did you think was ultra-fancy when you were growing up?
Proudly South African green hydrogen technology, which has the potential to slash the cost of green hydrogen, has just won top recognition in Monaco at the principality's inaugural hydrogen forum. The homegrown divergent electrode flow through (DEFT™) technology, which is already a recipient of South Africa's National Science and Technology Forum Award for Innovation, allows electrolysers to operate without membranes at higher temperatures, which results in greatly improved electrical efficiencies. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) Corrie de Jager, the CEO of Hydrox Holdings, the developer of the technology, stated in a Zoom interview that the patented DEFT system has the potential to slash the cost of producing hydrogen by up to 30% as the world's first hydrogen electrolyser that does not make use of membranes. The standard method of extracting hydrogen from water has been by using a membrane to separate the two electrodes. Even the latest platinum-based proton exchange membrane, or PEM, electrolyser uses a membrane. But Hydrox's patented DEFT system does not, which has resulted in it being recognised as the best emerging technical solution for mobility and marine solutions. The company's objective is to produce hydrogen below R100/kg, making it cost competitive with petrol. Its intention is to make hydrogen readily accessible to the public by adopting the single-pump model, which was once used at filling stations by the long defunct Satmar and then later by Sasol in its early days. “Our technology is membraneless technology, which we patented and prototyped with the support of Shell through its Shell Gamechanger programme. “This technology is really now coming to the fore and people are taking cognisance of it,” De Jager enthused in an interview with Engineering News & Mining Weekly. Hydrox competed with hundreds of applicants from 15 global strongholds, among them the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and India. Conventional electrolysers, De Jager pointed out, lose between 25% and 30% of their electrical input as waste heat, which drives up the price of electrolytic hydrogen, making it uncompetitive with fossil fuels. But DEFT, without a membrane, allows for higher temperature production and can operate off sea water and treated acid mine water. Standard electrolysers use a heat exchanger system to remove excess heat so that it does not supersede the maximum operating temperature of the membrane. Within DEFT, this excess temperature can be ‘locked' into the system to improve system efficiencies, resulting in lower operating expenditure and hydrogen costs. The new system can also handle fluctuating currents, which makes it ideal for renewable energy and ‘green' hydrogen. Electrolysis electrochemically splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and for the past 200 years, electrolysers have been limited to lower temperatures and pressures, with electrolysis basically being undertaken using some or other form of membrane to keep the gases separate. Mining Weekly: How does Monaco plan to use green hydrogen? De Jager: The principality wants to use it in a marine context. They've got these huge motor boats lying out there in the harbour, massive ones, that all use diesel, and they want to replace the diesel with green hydrogen, as do the countries alongside of them such as Spain and Italy, Gibraltar and Malta. They all approached us. They have a huge need to get into the green hydrogen space. When is your DEFT electrolyser technology going to be deployed commercially? That's the jackpot question. Shell helped us with a grant and then Covid struck and we came to a standstill and had to switch to the advanced alkaline electrolyte standard zero gap system. Now that recognition of our DEFT technology is revived, we can't wait to continue with it.

Mining Weekly Editor Martin Creamer Hydrox Holdings's advanced alkaline electrolyser; Hydrogen's potential to become a universal energy carrier; and AfriTin's lithium pilot plant in Namibia.
The proof-of-concept of the platinum-boosted advanced alkaline electrolyser – the AAE – has been successfully completed by Hydrox Holdings of Randburg in a pioneering achievement that offers the potential for South Africa to enter the fray as world demand for hydrogen electrolysers goes through the roof. “The future of green hydrogen looks great and we intend to play a leading role in this,” an upbeat Hydrox CEO Corrie de Jager enthused to Mining Weekly. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) The wonderfully cost-effective, locally conceived AAE electrolyser uses the latest technology to achieve high current densities at low operating voltages, resulting in excellent hydrogen production efficiencies. Attracting a favourable response is Hydrox's offtake concept, which involves customers paying only for the hydrogen, a potential game-changer in the unlocking the hydrogen economy. The Hydrox team is confident that it will outperform existing alkaline electrolysers and take green hydrogen down the cost curve as Africa's first original equipment manufacturer of electrolysers. “The vast experience we gained through the development of various innovative electrolysis systems has been of major benefit,” said De Jager. Hydrox engineers designed the AAE system from the ground up, using state-of-the-art components. More than 70% of the electrolyser is locally manufactured/sourced, a local content that will undoubtedly increase once a South African hydrogen supply chain is in place. De Jager hailed the commitment of mining company Anglo American to reach carbon neutrality through the replacement of its mining fleet with hydrogen fuel cell trucks, an area in which Hydrox sees itself playing a major role as a preferred supplier of electrolysis systems, at a time when electrolysers are being imported as fully manufactured units. While established global electrolyser manufacturers are focused on the large 3 MW-plus systems, the focus of Hydrox is on a fully containerised 1 MW system, which simplifies installation and deployment, especially in remote areas. With the single biggest factor influencing the price of hydrogen remaining the cost of electricity, access to renewable energy will have major price and greenness benefits for the AAE unit. At an electricity price of R0.50 kWh, Hydrox is confident that its electrolyser will generate hydrogen at a cost of US$3/kg, giving clients with curtailed or excess renewable energy the ability to store such energy as hydrogen. EXPANSION AND JOB CREATION The next step for Hydrox is AAE's scale up to larger sizes, which implies increasing its own capacities and employing specialised engineering firms to complete full system engineering processes. This will be followed by the commissioning of 100 kg/day, 200 kg/day and 400 kg/day units. “We foresee huge expansion and job creation possibilities,” said De Jager, with the prospect of Hydrox technology being licenced to facilitate roll-out in other countries. Moreover, the operational and maintenance requirements of AAE electrolysers will create further opportunities. AWARD-WINNING TECHNOLOGY Hydrox became known to the scientific community by developing the world's first totally membraneless electrolysis system. However, further development of the award-winning Shell-funded DEFTTM hydrogen technology was temporarily halted, owing to a lack of financial resources as well as the urgent need to focus on the completion of the AAE. But with global interest in DEFTTM resurging once more, Hydrox is in talks with various parties to fast track its development once more. Hydrox is confident that it will be able to slash 25% off the produced cost of hydrogen by moving to higher temperature operation of 200 °C and 250 °C, allowing for better usage of power and heat inputs, and thus targeting higher production efficiencies. Current electrolysis systems can waste up to 40% of the electrical input through heat production and removal. As a privately funded company Hydr...

We like labels, as humans we like labeling things. Taxonomy is the branch of science concerned with classification and there used to be several inconsistent and sometimes conflicting systems of classification in use. Then came Carl Linneaus and his influential “Systema Naturae” in 1735, laying down the system we use to this day. Linnaeus was the first taxonomist to list humans as a primate, though he did classify whales as fish. Years later, a New York court agreed with him. My name's… D&D Stats Explained With Tomatoes Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad. TOMATOES So that's more clear, but it raises a rather mad –and for some, maddening– question: Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Well, yes, it's both, but actually no. Botanically, it's a fruit. But legally, it's not. A fruit is technically the seed-bearing structure of a plant whereas a vegetable can be virtually any part of the plant we eat. Things must have been slow in March of 1893, because this definition was set by the Supreme Court. The issue at hand was tariffs, specifically a 10% tariff on the import of vegetables into the United States. Just veggies. Imported fruits were not. This was of particular interest to John Nix of Manhattan. He ran a produce wholesale business along with his four sons and found himself the proud owner of an enormous tax bill on a shipment of Caribbean tomatoes. John Nix & Co. were one of the largest sellers of produce in New York City at the time, and one of the first companies to bring the Empire state produce from such far-flung places as Florida and Bermuda. Nix disputed the tax on the grounds that tomatoes were scientifically-supportably fruit. Full of seeds, ain't they? That's the part that seems to turn grown adults into fussy toddlers when their burger has a tomato despite their very clear instructions. Worse than the anti-pickle crowd. Anyway, Nix filed a suit against Edward L. Hedden, Collector of the Port of New York, to get back the tax money he'd been forced to pay under protest. The crux of Nix's case was the opening of an uninspired speech - counsel read the definitions of the words "fruit," "vegetables," and tomato from Webster's Dictionary, Worcester's Dictionary, and the Imperial Dictionary. Judgment for the plaintiff, case closed! But wait, there's more. Not to be outdone, defendant's counsel then read into evidence the Webster's definitions of the words pea, eggplant, cucumber, squash, and pepper. Oh, it's on now! Countering this, the plaintiff then read in the definitions of potato, turnip, parsnip, cauliflower, cabbage, carrot and bean. That's when, I assume, all hell broke loose in the courtroom and perhaps a giant musical number broke out. Just trying to jazz it up a bit. Nix's side called two witnesses, not botanists or linguists, but men with a lot of years in the fruit & veg business, to say whether these words had "any special meaning in trade or commerce, different from those read." The supreme court decided to look more practically and less pedantically at the situation and ruled that it's how a tomato is used that makes it a vegetable, not the official scientific definition. If people cook and eat them like vegetables, then vegetables they must be, and so they were subject to the tariff. “Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas,” wrote Justice Horace Gray in his 1893 opinion. “But in the common language of the people, whether sellers or consumers of provisions, all these are vegetables.” What was really important about Nix's case was the timing. We're talking late Victorian, after the age of sail had been obviated by the steam power of the industrial revolution. You might have heard about it, it was in all the papers. Ships could now cross the Atlantic in 1-2 weeks, rather than the 6-12 weeks it took in a century prior. Foods from the tropics could now reach New England in a week or less, making their import a viable option. This was when bananas went from being expensive oddity to must-have trend to staple of every grocery store, though that was the Gros Michelle banana, the one our fake banana flavor is based on, not the Cavendish banana we eat today, but that's a topic for another show. To service the evolving tastes of urban population, a new class of national wholesalers, such as the Nixes, were born. The tomato's identity crisis was far from settled, though. In 1937, the League of Nations, precursor to the UN, sought to classify various goods for the purpose of tariffs and they too labeled tomatoes a veggie, putting them under the heading of “vegetables / edible plants / roots and tubers.” Not to be left out, the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreed, citing 1890s Nix v. Hedden case. But there are always exceptions, hold-outs, outliers, and just plain contrarians. Tennessee and Ohio made the tomato their state fruit. If you think that's silly, you might want to swallow your coffee before I tell you the state vegetable of Oklahoma is the watermelon. I did not care to look into their reasoning. The European Union went a step further with a directive in December 2001 classifying tomatoes as fruit — along with rhubarb, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and melons. It's bad enough all prepackaged fruit bowls have some form of melon in them (which causes me instantaneous reverse peristalsis), but it you gave me a fruit salad and it had cucumbers in it, I have a parking lot and I'll fight you in it. But I think I'll give the last word to George Ball of the Burpee's seed and plant company: “Are [tomatoes] fruits? Of course,” he said. “Are they vegetables? You bet.” Though Burpee's does put “vegetable” on the seed packet, so maybe it's not settled after all. JAFFA CAKES Maybe things that grow are too ephemeral for man's taxonomy. Things are a lot of simpler when we're talking about man-made goods, things that don't grow on trees, and it is only a tragedy that you can't plant an entire orchard of Jaffa cake trees. For those whose life has not yet contained this job, a Jaffa cake it a little round of dense yellow cake –sponge, as they say in the home counties– with a disc of orange jelly on top enrobed in chocolate. It. Is. So. Good. You can sometimes find them in big grocery stores like Kroger and Publix if they have a large enough “International” aisle stock Branston pickle along with pad thai sauce and Tajin. This issue here it again taxes, but this time VAT. For those that don't speak British, VAT or Value-Added Tax is “A type of consumption tax that is placed on a product whenever value is added at a stage of production and at final sale.” Basically sales tax cranked to 11. VAT is a tax that is paid by everyone involved with the manufacture of a given object or foodstuff, as well as the consumer. As I go to air, the VAT rate in the UK is 20%. If you're a UK-based widget-maker, you pay VAT on the price of the raw materials. When you sell the widgets wholesale to a store, the retailer pays VAT on that sale. Then, when someone comes into the shop to buy one of your cutting-edge widgets, they pay VAT too. As with most areas of life, there are exceptions – a number of things are subjected to a reduced 5% rate and some things are exempt altogether. The exceptions are for the really necessary things, like mobility aids, menstrual hygiene products, stamps, end of life care, and most food, including cake. That's some grade A foreshadowing right there. But some foods are just so wonderful, they absolutely must be taxed and taxed fully. Such luxury items include alcohol, mineral water, confectioneries and, with the specificity that all governments seem to love, chocolate-covered biscuits. Regular biscuits are apparently basic essentials. No, American listeners, not like buttermilk biscuits, because even I'd have to think twice about covering one of those in chocolate. Whereupon I would do it. I could make that work. You're talking to the chick that made a startling good roasted garlic and parmesan ice cream. No, British biscuits are cookies. And British listeners, don't at me on soc meds with the definition of biscuit, because you know you're not consistent with it. The only word that's more confusing is pudding. Is that a dessert course, a sausage made of 80% blood, a flambeed Christmas dessert, or a suet dough stuffed with beef and veggies and steamed for eight hours? While I'm on British language, Cockney rhyming slang has got to be the worst thing… The McVities company had a notion otherwise. They appealed, prompting a Customs and Exchange VAT tribunal. Jaffa cakes, they said, shouldn't be taxed at the “most food” 20% rate, but at the 5% rate of chocolate-covered biscuits. It takes a lot of brass to make that claim when you yourself named the product Jaffa *cakes. [tiktok] origin story] According to the website for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the court first had to establish a legal definition of what made a cake a cake and what makes a biscuit a biscuit, before determining which column Jaffa Cakes belonged in. Jaffa Cakes were assessed using the following criteria: The product name, ingredients, texture, structure of the product, the size, how the product is sold, and how the product is marketed. Towards this end, the main arguments on behalf of the office of Customs and Excise were that Jaffa Cakes are the approximate size and shape of biscuits, are stocked on the shelves with the biscuits, and, owing in no small part to McVities' own marketing, people eat them in the sort of contexts biscuit are eaten. McVities countered by stating that Jaffa Cakes are baked in the manner of cake and of the same base ingredients. Their master stroke was staleness – cakes go hard as they stale and biscuits go soft. When Jaffa cakes go stale, and it's hard to imagine them sitting there long enough, they go hard. McVities actually let a bunch of them out to go stale and brouhght them into court as evidence. And in a legal tactic I'd like to see more often, McVities baked a big ol' 12-inch version of a Jaffa Cake, to show that if you blew it up to the size of a normal cake, it would just be a cake. If I were on the other side of it, I might make a big deal over the name, but the judge presiding over the case, Mr D.C Potter, ruled that to be of “no serious relevance” because a product's name often has little to do with its actual function. In the end, the court decided the Jaffa Cake was, in fact, a cake, and the Irish Revenue Commissioners agreed, though their ruling was based on the Jaffa Cakes' moisture content being greater than 12%. So no VAT on Jaffa cakes, which means we can buy more of them, hooray! HYDROX VS OREO In 1882, the entrepreneur Jacob Loose bought a biscuit and candy company that would eventually be known as Sunshine Biscuits, the company that would eventually give us Cheez-its, which my ex-husband went through at least a box of a week, dipping in port wine cheese spread. About as close as he ever got to a balanced diet. In 1908, launched the cream-filled chocolate sandwich biscuit known as Hydrox. The name, he thought, would be reminiscent of sparkling sunlight and evoked an impression of cleanliness (probably because it sounds like a disinfectant). This was after all only a few years after the Pure Food and Drug Act, before which your canned veggies might be full of borax and your milk be a watered down concoction of chalk dust and cow brains, and you wouldn't know. Some tellings have it that Hydrox is a portmanteau of hydrogen and oxygen, the elements that make up water, the gold standard of purity. Meanings aside, the fact that there actually was a Hydrox Chemical Company in business at the time, one that sold hydrogen peroxide and was caught up in a trademark lawsuit at the time over the use of the word “hydrox,” should have given them a hint to maybe go back to committee. Hydrox chemicals lawsuit, btw, pointed out that the word “hydrox” was already in use for such disparate things as coolers, soda, and ice cream, so maybe Jacob Loose figured the word is out there, might as well use it. For four years, Hydrox cookies with their lovely embossed flower design made cash registers ring for Sunshine Biscuits. Then, 90 years almost to the day of this episode dropping, the National Biscuit Company came along –you probably know them by their shortened name, Nabisco– with the launch of three different cookies, the Mother Goose biscuit, the Veronese biscuit, both now lost to history, and the Oreo. The cookies were very similar, with Oreos even being embossed by the same time of production machine, but Hydrox have a sweeter filling and less-sweet cookie. Like VHS vs beta, which you can learn more about in the book and audiobook, the newcomer soon came to dominate the landscape, and there's no clear reason why. Any chocolate sandwich biscuit is offhandedly called an Oreo, no matter how cheap a replica it may be. It's literally the best-selling cookie in the world now, with $3.28 billion in sales in the U.S. alone. They sell 92 million cookies per day throughout 100-plus countries under the parent brand Mondelez International. That ubiquity has led a lot of people to erroneously assume that Oreo is the original and Hydrox is the Mr. Pibb to their Dr. Pepper. Hydrox did manage to hold onto a cadre of die-hards, especially in areas with significant Jewish populations, because Hydrox were always kosher. Oreo cream used to be made with lard from pigs and Nabisco would later have to invest a lot of resources into replacing the lard with shortening in the 90's. Sunshine Biscuits was purchased by Keebler in 1996, who replaced Hydrox with a reformulated product called "Droxies," which 100% sounds like drug slang for a veterinary tranquilizer. Keebler was acquired by Kellogg's in 2001, and Kellogg's yanked Droxies from the shelves before adding a similar chocolate sandwich cookie to the Famous Amos brand, then discontinued them. In August 2008, on the cookie's 100th anniversary, Kellogg's resumed distribution of Hydrox under the Sunshine label, a limited distribution, one and done. Hydrox-heads besieged Kellogg's with phone calls and an online petition, asking that Hydrox be brought back for good, but all for naught. Less than a year later Kellogg's had removed Hydrox from their website. “This is a dark time in cookie history,” one Hydrox partisan, Gary Nadeau, wrote, according to the Wall Street Journal. “And for those of you who say, ‘Get over it, it's only a cookie,‘ you have not lived until you have tasted a Hydrox.” As of the time of writing, I've never had one myself, but I'll see if I can't lay my hands on some before going to air. Getting my hands on some may be a touch trickier than it should be. They exist; that's not the issue. In 2015, entrepreneur Ellia Kassoff, a lover of Hydrox who knew the trick to getting a trademark someone else had allowed to lapse, was able to pick up Hydrox for his own company, Leaf Brands—itself a dormant brand that Kassoff had revived. Hip to the time, Leaf Brands made Hydrox available on Amazon, so anyone anywhere could get them whenever they wanted (plus two days for delivery). These new Hydrox weren't going to bow gracefully to the dominant Oreo. Their website points out that they use real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and no hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, and GMOs, and warn consumers, "don't eat a knock-off!" Hydrox are also made in the USA while Mondelez International was laying off U.S. workers. Sales of Hydrox grew by 2,406 percent from 2016 to 2017, amassing more than $492,000 in sales — clearly, still light-years away from Oreo's overwhelming dominance in the market, but impressive progress nonetheless. If you ask Leaf Brands, they'd be doing a lot better if not for Mondelez – not out-competing them, deliberately sabotaging them. This is the hard-to-find bit I alluded to. In August 2018, Leaf Brands filed a lawsuit against Mondelez International, seeking $800 million in damages because of "lost sales and reputation.” The charges claimed that Mondelez was using its massive industry muscle "to place their own products in favorable locations in stores and move competitors in less desirable positions on store shelves." On their Facebook page, you can see pictures of grocery stores where Hydrox cookies are hidden behind other displays, scooted to the back of shelves, and even turned sideways so the short end is facing out. If you've never worked grocery retail, your instinct may be to blame the store staff, but a lot of brands are actually stocked by the manufacturer. Ever pass a guy in a Pepsi polo shirt with hand-truck loaded with soda? That, but with cookies. And it's not just their own products. Mondelez is what's called a “category captain,” meaning they get to determine much of the layout for the whole cookie aisle. Leaf alleges that Mondelez employees and agents are deliberately making Hydrox harder to find while making Oreos pert near impossible to miss. This is far from the first lawsuit over Oreos. A class action lawsuit was filed claiming the cookies misled buyers by stating that the product contains real cocoa. The judge dismissed the case. And they were sued for Fudge Covered Mint Oreos not containing any actual fudge. The plaintiffs claim that these cookies don't contain any milkfat from dairy, a key component of fudge, but rather cheaper palm and palm kernel oil. As so often happens, there are eleventy-hundred articles from the week the case was filed and nothing on the outcome. That's what happened with the main point of this article. I was dead sure I remembered Hydrox and Oreo going to court over the basic infringement question, and Hydrox losing, but I couldn't turn up anything on that because of the sabotage lawsuit sucking up all the search results. X-MEN It's not all foodie fact fun today. I'm going to risk a copyright strike to play 15 seconds of a song that will make everyone near me in age go “aw yeah!” [sfx Xmen theme] For the young or those who had social lives in high school, that's the theme song to the 90's Xmen cartoon, and it slaps, as they kids used to say. For the truly uninitiated, and c'mon even my mom knows who the Xmen are, the story centers on a group of superheroes who get their powers from genetic mutations…and government experiments, time travel, by dint of being aliens – it's a comic book, what do you want. Ever since their introduction to the Marvel Universe in 1963, the X-Men have always had to deal with questions about their humanity. While their enemies will stop at nothing to cast them as monsters, the team continues to fight for a world where they are treated just like humans. That's in-universe. In the broader reality, it's actually in the X-Men's best interest not to be considered humans. Well, Marvel comics financial bottom line, anyway, and they went to court over it. In 1993, international trade lawyers Sherry Singer and Indie Singh found an interesting provision in a book of federal tariff classifications – “dolls” are taxed at 12% on import while “toys” are only taxed 6.8%. The devil is in the details, or in this case, the definition. A “toy” can be any shape, representing any thing, but a "doll" can only be a representation of a human being, like Barbie or GI Joe. [tik tok Joe's thumbnail] Singer and Singh knew this distinction could be a sizable financial benefit for their client, Marvel Entertainment, who had an ownership stake in ToyBiz at the time. For years, Marvel had been importing action figures that were taxed as dolls, despite their wide panoply of brightly colored characters often being anything but human. Taking a direct approach, the two lawyers gathered up a literal bag full of action figures and went to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C. to try and convince them that Marvel wasn't importing humanlike “dolls,” but instead very non-human “toys.” The Customs staff's reaction to the bag of toys is not recorded, but their official response was that the “non-human characteristics” of the X-Men and other action figures “fall far short of transforming [these figures] into something other than the human beings which they represent.” Singer and Singh were locked onto this tactic and pursued it for a decade. A judge considered various figures from Marvel's whole line to decide whether or not individual characters were human or not. Rippling pecs, long claws, blue skin, red eyes, all were scrutinized, as lawyers on both sides expostulated on the philosophical ramifications of what it means to be human. How can these action figures be human if they have "tentacles, claws, wings, or robotic limbs?" I'd loved to have been there to hear people with expensive educations in tailored suits, stand before a learned jurist in a wood-paneled courtroom and say things like, "The figure of 'Kingpin' resembles a man in a suit carrying a staff. Nothing in the storyline indicates that Kingpin possesses superhuman powers. Yet, Kingpin is known to have exceedingly great strength (however 'naturally' achieved) and the figure itself has a large and stout body with a disproportionately small head and disproportionately large hands. Even though 'dolls' can be caricatures of human beings, the court is of the opinion that the freakishness of the figure's appearance coupled with the fabled 'Spider-Man' storyline to which it belongs does not warrant a finding that the figure represents a human being." In 2003, Judge Judith Barzilay ruled that Marvel characters aren't quite human enough to taxed as dolls. “They are more than (or different than) humans. These fabulous characters use their extraordinary and unnatural physical and psychic powers on the side of either good or evil. The figures' shapes and features, as well as their costumes and accessories, are designed to communicate such powers." Yay, a victory for the giant multimillion dollar corporation! But a slap in the face for diehard X-Men fans. Chuck Austen, one of the writers for Uncanny X-Men at the time, said his whole goal in the story was to show the team's humanity. The nerds grew restless and Marvel had to issue a statement that read, "Don't fret, Marvel fans, our heroes are living, breathing human beings—but humans who have extraordinary abilities ... A decision that the X-Men figures indeed do have 'nonhuman' characteristics further proves our characters have special, out-of-this world powers." And that's… To protect the public from contaminated oil, New York State law required that all fish oil be gauged, inspected and branded, with a penalty of $25 per barrel on those who failed to comply. Samuel Judd purchased three barrels of whale oil that had not been inspected, and James Maurice, a fish oil inspector, sought to collect the penalty from him. Judd pleaded that the barrels contained whale oil, not fish oil, and so were not subject to the fish oil legislation. At trial, one side said the term "fish oil" was commonly understood to include whale oil, and the other side plead the obvious science that whales are mammals. The jury deliberated for 15 minutes and returned a verdict in favor of the fish oil inspector. Mr. Judd, dissatisfied with the verdict, moved for a new trial. By then, the Legislature was in session and the Recorder, knowing that a new fish oil bill was pending, delayed his decision on the motion. The new enactment limited the inspection to fish liver oil, and the Recorder took the view that this implicitly confirmed that the earlier legislation covered whale oil. Accordingly, he refused to grant Judd's motion for a new trial. James Maurice resigned his position as fish oil inspector because he considered that the position under the new law had too little value or importance.

She is truly radiant and glowing and looking as hot as ever. And so I'm excited to have her on. But let's let's talk a little bit about what you do. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's get into the conversation. You are the expert. You have really helped millions of people. You are the expert in this case. So I'm I'm intrigued. What does that mean that you've helped you become the intimacy expert for millions of people? Susan Bratton: [00:02:24] Well, about 15 years ago, my husband and I was closer to 20 years ago. Now my husband and I had a really rocky point in our marriage, and I didn't really want to make love with him anymore. You know, I had been doing it for over a decade, and it wasn't that satisfying for me. And I really pulled away. And then that made him emotionally disconnect. And then we were on the verge of divorce and we decided to do something about it. So we sought therapy, which was a part of the solution. But really what helped us was going to sex workshops. It was our sex life. You know, they say that either couples have trouble with their sex life or with money and money wasn't the problem for us, nor was it for all our friends who we saw getting divorced. It was really our sexuality. And what had happened was, you know, in hindsight, 20, 20 vision, we had been having sex. And what I would call today, the patriarchal way, the way that men want to have sex because they don't know any different. And there are there are masculine sexual leaders. And so they're doing the best they can, but they don't live in our bodies or understand our arousal and our libido and how different it is than theirs. And when we did sex workshops, we began to understand orgasm skills and have sexual communication skills that were much, much stronger. Susan Bratton: [00:03:39] And we really went through a renaissance in our sex life to the point where we decided to start a company together, essentially taking these incredible transformational sex workshop experiences and putting them online so that people could do them in the privacy of their own home. And what I like to say is that my job is to transform having sex into making love. It's also translating the masculine and feminine for each other so that you that you can get into your partner's world. Because though I support full gender spectrum expression, most people are in a heterosexual monogamous relationship. So that's where my sweet spot is. My sweet spot is, hey, this is what she needs from you. Hey, this is what he needs from you. And here's how you can get into a more of a balance that satisfying for both people, because so much of the media and pretty much all of porn is both degrading to women and doesn't follow at all what I would consider to be the matriarchal needs of our sexuality. So I've published over 45 books and programs. You can find them all, by the way, at Susan Bratten dot com. If you look under my products link, there are all of the published programs that I've created, all of my supplement company products. But also there's about 30 free gifts because. And you could just help yourself, you can have as many as you want, because Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:03] I love that. Thank you. Susan Bratton: [00:05:04] Different places in their sexual evolution, and you could be stuck in an entirely different place than the next person, than the next person, than the next person. So what I really did was I created a constellation of things that help remove the obstacles to your intimacy and satisfaction wherever you are. Because one of the things I can tell you is that good sex can be can get better and better your whole life long because you can get better in bed your whole life long. And sex is really a learned skill. Procreation, we kind of can figure out. But passionate lovemaking. We're not getting taught. And not only that, but the media and pornography is making it worse for us women then and not making it better. So I really feel like I like to break through all of the wrongdoings, the misunderstandings, the myths, everything from our orgasmic potential to being afraid to talk to your partner or to not knowing what you want. You do know what you want. I tell her that. Yeah. And and I think those things are all of the ways that I can really help and support people and meet them wherever they are. And I've worked with people from 19 to 90 around the world, from all different cultures. So I really have a big heart for actually how sexually emancipated we are here in America compared to the rest of the world. They're still in a very backward paradigm. So that's kind of who I am and what I do. Elizabeth Molina: [00:06:34] I have a ton of questions. I'm like, what can you just quickly like tell us, because I know we're going to get into this, but like the pandemic has been huge for couples with this sexual arousal. Being with your partner all day, being in the same small space, how do you find them attractive no longer getting dressed, you know, waiting. There's so much we're talking about beauty here, which we will get into. But give us a short OK, you're showing us something. What are you showing us? Susan Bratton: [00:07:01] So I'm going to show you. And remember, you can go to YouTube and see these images as well. And it's worth going to YouTube and seeing these images, because what I'm actually showing you is the internal mechanisms of a penis. Yes. And really what I want to do is I want to tell you two things that will make a big shift for you. The first is that our men, if we're in a relationship with a penis owner, he has this. The benefit of something called hemodynamics and hemodynamics means that he has these big spongy chambers of erectile tissue in his penis and they fill in very quickly with blood. The blood just runs straight into them. But if you look at what our vulva looks like and I want to show you two images here. The first image is the inside the X, the outside of our vulva. So we're pretty familiar as women with the the the outer labia, the inner labia, the vestibule, the opening, the the clitoral tip, the shaft, the hood, the urethral exit, where our PRP comes out, the vaginal opening, the G spot inside. We're pretty familiar with what the rover looks like, though. I bet we don't look at our own enough. Probably if I peel away the skin and I just take the layer right off the top here group, this is what it looks like underneath our skin and all. Susan Bratton: [00:08:30] All of this meaty tissue is our erectile systems, and we have as much erectile tissue in our vulva as our male body partners have in our in their penis. But we don't have it. I always say that if a man's like a banana, a woman's like an English muffin. She's got all these nooks and crannies that have to be filled in with blood and it seeps in more slowly. And we have the clitoral glands, the clitoral shaft, the clitoral arms or Kaura, the clitoral legs or vestibular bulbs. We have the urethral sponge, which people call a G spot. It's not a spot. It's a long tube that both comes out on the face of the vestibule of the vagina, as well as going deep into the vagina. And then we have a perineal sponge on the bottom. That's also erectile tissue. And our vaginas are literally wrapped, embraced with erectile tissue. But we women put our attention. We've been told your orgasm starts in your clitoris. And we think our clitoris is this little tip that shows under the hood when actually this entire structure that wraps around our vagina is our clitoral structure. And we have a urethral structure and a perineal structure, and we have sex too fast. And the reason that we do and this is the matriarchal versus patriarchal view, is that he is, number one, testosterone dominant where we are estrogen dominant. Susan Bratton: [00:09:59] And so he has not only the benefit of hemodynamics, he has the benefit of test, more testosterone, which makes him ready to go and ready to penetrate us. And so the thing is that he gets an erection. He wants to stick it in, but he sticks it in way too early and doesn't allow our entire vulva to become engorged or swollen with blood. We need a lot of stimulation, manual oral toys, you know, vibration to get all that tissue plumped up. Because if you think about it, a man wouldn't have and would not have sex with a flaccid penis. He would want it to be plumped up. Correct, because there's more surface area to send pleasure signals to the brain. So here we are having sex too fast without enough stimulation and enough time to get engorged. That's why women struggle to have orgasms from intercourse. So many sexperts say intercourse is overrated. It's all about the clit. And we need pleasure in the clit, etc cetera. And they are wrong. We can have orgasms from intercourse without even touching the tip of our clitoris. If we get everything fully engorged, if we slow down. If we take our pleasure, if we give ourselves time and the older we get, the harder it is to get that tissue engorged. Susan Bratton: [00:11:22] Because not only do our hormones decline, but something called our nitric oxide production declines. And one of the very first tips I have for beauty also works for sex and orgasmic pleasure, and that is nitric oxide supplementation. When you can't get enough blood flow, nitric oxide controls your vascular system and how much blood goes where. And if you don't get enough blood flow to your vulva, you can't get fully engorged. So you can't feel the orgasmic pleasure that you deserve. And then you have to spend all the time jangling the nerves of your clitoral tip just to try to orgasm, when all you would have to do is get enough blood flow and engorgement to your vulva that you wouldn't even have to touch the tip of your clit because it's getting stimulated through intercourse. So I really believe and know for a fact that every woman can come from or from intercourse without even stimulating the tip of the clitoris, which is called the glands, by the way. And that's the only part of the clitoris. That's not erectile tissue. Interestingly enough, it has a lot of nerve endings. But your entire vulva can be absolutely activated with pleasure. You can have you can have an orgasm from the tiniest little touch on the edge of a labia. You don't need to have all this mass stimulation to the clitoral tip. Susan Bratton: [00:12:46] And so the thing that I tell men is, if you want to make love to a woman and have her really appreciate it, which is what they want more than anything in the world, they will give up their pleasure for your pleasure. It's important to them. They just don't know what they're doing. Then slow down and slow down some more and then four down 10 times more than that. I love and put a lot of attention on manuell pleasure or pleasure. Toys get our vulvas, our pop and get our clitorises, our recht. We need a Clate erection. It takes about 20 minutes to pop your clit, and that's a good indication that the rest of it's beginning to fill in. And so slowing down and getting into sensation and pleasure and. Devoting the whole volver means you'll begin to want to have great sex with your partner and you'll literally be able to do what I call Krock crossing the orgasm chasm, being able to have an orgasm from intercourse with your partner, and then you can go on to having multiple orgasms. You can have g spot orgasms, you can have expanded orgasms, you can enjoy female ejaculation, you can have peroneal orgasms, you can have boob orgasms and lip orgasms and brain orgasms and belly orgasms and foot orgasms and fantasy orgasms. And, you know, you name it there. Elizabeth Molina: [00:14:04] The list goes on, Susan Bratton: [00:14:05] The kinds of orgasms that are available to us. And we're having one. And it's more like a sneeze than a really good, intense experience. So the good news is there's so much more you can learn and learning makes you better in bed and gives you more pleasure. And all of sex is just learn skills. Some people got lucky and they could do it automatically, but very few. And so I always say to women who think, oh, I'm just not the kind of woman who can have an orgasm from intercourse. I'm like, nope, you're just not one who's had it yet. Oh, well, the woman can have that. And if you're in a relationship with a male body partner, that's something you guys need to work through and figure out so that you can come and come and come the whole time he's in jail. And you can just have a fantastic time and of course, incorporate toys, incorporate oral, incorporate all those things. That's really the trick. And it starts with nitric oxide, which brings vascularization, which brings blood flow to your whole body, including your face and your skin. And what vascularization? Our blood flow, Gattu, is oxygenation and healing, because we take a lot of hits to our skin, to our beauty, to our hair, to to our cognitive function, to everything with all the toxins that are in the world and all of the, you know, the external assaults on our beauty. This is literally the number one foundation of she's pointing to. Elizabeth Molina: [00:15:30] And, yeah, she's pointing to this bottle flow. So do you take this daily? Do you take this before you know you're having intercourse? Like how does it how does it work? Tell us a little bit more about this, because like obviously our listeners are like, what are all these orgasms? How do I get them? And we know that when you experience real pleasure. Yeah. You have a glow, you're happier. You're releasing a whole bunch of great hormones, happy hormones. You're just in the state of happiness. I mean, you you can see that there's nothing to be angry about. You're in a state of bliss. So tell us about this product. How does it work? How do we get it? We want to know, OK. Susan Bratton: [00:16:10] It's really easy. Flow is a product that I developed because there weren't any organic nitric oxide supplements that I liked out in the marketplace. This is made from organic watermelon citrulline is a very bioavailable version of a nitric oxide precursor. It also has spinach and bitter cherries in it. And all of those things help you create nitric oxide, which helps you get blood flow to your vulva and to your pelvis, which helps you get lubrication and orgasmic intensity. You can take it about 20 to 30 minutes before lovemaking, which just take it just before you start having sex and, you know, spend half an hour in foreplay and then make love and it'll give you increased lubrication and an orgasmic pleasure and sensation and then take two at night every night just to keep your organic, not nitric oxide stores up once you hit 40. By the time you're 50, you have half the nitric oxide production you did when you are 20s. So women, a lot of times they think it's a hormone issue that's creating the loss of lubrication and lack of pleasure, when in actual fact, yes, estrogen loss does thin the vaginal tissue. But and I'm going to talk a little bit more about some other things I do to keep myself plump and young. So where you get flow is on Amazon flow, organic nitric oxide, or you can get it at the 20 store dot com with my promo code, Susan. And there's a discount that way, which is always OK. So flow is it. And if you want me to send you some Elizabeth, let me know. I'd be happy to ship them off. Elizabeth Molina: [00:17:46] That's that's a no brainer. I like. Yes. Susan Bratton: [00:17:49] Ok, good. We'll have that. Elizabeth Molina: [00:17:52] I'm like, I need this. Let me try it out. Let's experiment and like. Wait. Question. What if you take this? This is like a I basically I'm here like a Viagra for women. Is this like kind of like that or. No? Like will I take it? And I'm like, I need to stop my day, cancel my calendar. I'm fully like in the mood to do things. Susan Bratton: [00:18:13] Well, you know, for for us women, so much of our sexuality begins in the mind. But when your when you're vaginas lubricating and wet more, you actually do feel more turned on. So there are many women who've reported to me that they're walking around wet again. For the first time in a long time, and that naturally makes us feel like we could be more open to having sex. And one of the things that really helps reverse the drying out and shriveling up is partly taking a nitric oxide supplement, as well as making sure you have your essential fatty acids. And some what I like, I like collagen, but collagen alone is not enough. I've got a really sneaky, awesome hack for you that'll make me knowledgeable. Tell us, keep your tissues plumped up. There is there's a bacteria, a probiotic. It's called El Rouda. Ri l r e u t e u r i locked the lizard, derides and studied by Stanford. It's been studied by many, many. There's a lot of clinical data on the fact that this particular bacteria creates scaffolding in our tissue on which the collagen hangs. And without it. And my other hack, which is highly iranica acid and I like this brand, neo cell. Neo cell is a highly ironic acid that helps hold the moisture in the tissue. Susan Bratton: [00:19:52] So between the collagen and the HRA and this particular bacteria, and I put these in my spice grinder, I take 10 capsules, put them in my spice grinder, grind them up, put them in my yogurt maker with my you can use dairy or nut milk and a little inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber. That's what the bacteria eat. You put the inulin in there, you sternal up, you put it in 100 degree yogurt maker, you leave it on for thirty six hours, very slow at one hundred degrees. And it cultures and you get this wonderful yogurt. And that's what I put in my morning smoothie, which I have right here. This is my morning smoothie. I'm still drinking it. And so I have the LRAD rye yogurt in here. And then I also put in. That the collagenase. So I like a brand called Organics. And I'm also like bulletproof when you make it with the yogurt and the collagenase. You're doing a fantastic job giving your body what it needs to hold on to the collagenase so they can stay there. And then I also use colostrum. I use colostrum in my smoothie, and I use a cream that is an organic cream from a company called The Cream. Susan Bratton: [00:21:12] That is a colostrum based natural skincare product. So colostrum are very good. And going back to the hotel, you're on a acid's there are a couple of different things you need to know about HIV. You want there's there's something called high molecular weight and low molecular weight. How URAC acid. Yes. And the low molecular weight, which nacelle makes is very good for your skin. The high molecular weight, which is lubra ocen L'Abri is why. And that's good for your joints. If you're cracking when you're moving, that's a loss of age in the joints, in the synovial fluid. And so that you need the higher that you actually get this to racecourses, you need the high molecular weight. And then I also think that topical, highly irenic acid can't hurt a bit. The truth is that anything topical is only going to do so much. Your beauty starts from the inside out and you have to have enough. You have to have enough collagen. You have to have a structure for it to sit on with the L root rye. You have to have good, essential fatty acids, which I want to talk to you about. Elizabeth Molina: [00:22:23] Check out the video she's showing us, literally the pictures. I was very impressed with the picture of the vulva and all I didn't like. I come I think that I'm pretty educated, but like I learned so much in this little, we didn't even go into so much detail. So I'm like, holy moly, Shmuley, I need to learn is so much more. And I love that you talk about beauty is an inside job. And, you know, we are talking about sex and we're talking about getting it hot and steamy. And before I want to go into the beauty part, I want to go into because you have this shy and you have this pizzazz about you that I can tell you're having a lot of fun, not just in real life and in your bedroom, but in in your mind as well and in your body. But quickly, I want to touch up on two things before we go into the beauty and continue the regimen, because they're all linked together. Right. Your beauty, your skin, your face, your sex organs, like the collagen you're talking about, all of this is linked together. And it's no surprise. I it was the first time I've even heard about it. I always thought it was the hormones that you're decreasing lubrication for women. It was like, oh, you're getting menopause, you're getting dry. I mean, I'm not in that age yet, but I'm in, you know, the biohacking space with women over 50. Elizabeth Molina: [00:23:38] I love to learn. And like I'm going to be there, you know, not soon, but like eventually. And I'm like, what's what's in store for me? I want to learn how do I, you know, hijack that? How do I biomech that? And this is the first time I've heard of this. And it makes total sense, I have to say, like everything you're saying makes sense. The proof is in the pudding. Look at you. You look like not a day over like twenty eight. So I'm just like, how do I get there? How do I do that? But we are still coming out of a pandemic. Slowly, some places are closing back up again. And as you know, I'm sure you've heard it in your industry. Couples are suffering. Couples are suffering. Singles are suffering. And I mean, that's a whole nother episode. I feel like single during the pandemic and getting, you know, sexual pleasure and all that kind of good stuff. What may be freebee was you had that you could recommend to couples to kind of spice it up, you know, especially having maybe young children in the home under like 12, just, you know, finding it very difficult to be in each other's space. Not feeling that zests. Give us something to go on. What can they download today, right now that can like bring some fire back? Susan Bratton: [00:24:44] The first thing that I'd recommend now you can find everything I'm talking about at Susan Bratten dot com. I have a page that mentions all my products. Flow is on there, for example, but it also has all my free gifts. And I have over forty five programs on there, and many of them are free. So help yourself to anything you want, because everyone's at a different place in their sexuality. So I can't guess where any individual would be the most helped. But I'll tell you a couple of things based on what you ask me. I'll give you some directions. So when you get to the page and look at those things, the first is that I've really written about why it's not your hormones that are drawing you out. You know, when you have a loss of estrogen going through perimenopause and beyond you, your vaginal tissue gets then your vaginal mucosa gets thinner and it can become very painful. There are many things you can do to fix that, one of which is this product, the V fit, the V fit. If you go to Joi Lux dot com slash Susan, there's a special page two. This has red light therapy, which uses photo bio modulation, low level laser light therapy, Bagnoli, along with heat and vibration for Kagle toning and recolonization. It helps with incontinence, thickens up the tissue. It reverses that painful sex along with perhaps a plant based estrogen and DHEA cream rubbed internally if you don't want to do bioidentical hormone replacement. Susan Bratton: [00:26:13] I have thirty eight fascinating facts that supercharge your sex drive. It's called Hot to Trot and it's that hot to trot book dot com or you can find it by going to Susan Bratten dot com. And it goes more into these kinds of things that are it's not actually your hormones hits all these other things. Here's some things you can do. It includes the information about the L root rye probiotic and all kinds of things in there. So that's one. The second thing is talking more about how our female genital system works and how to pleasure it in the way that it needs to be measured, not in the way that is shown in television, on movies and in pornography, which is actually hurting us, not helping. And that's at arousal tips dot com. Ok. And then as far as spicing up a sex life, there's a couple of things I always say that couples that play together stay together, especially in the bedroom. It's either sex or money that tears us apart. And most of the time, if we were with we both have jobs. It's usually around sex. It's around sex more than people want to admit. You can learn pleasuring skills. You can do fantasy and roleplay. You can do lingerie, fashion shows, you can do new sex positions. You can have sex in new locations. You can incorporate toys into your lovemaking. Susan Bratton: [00:27:33] You know, there's lots of ways that you can invigorate your sex life. But honestly, one of the most simple ways to get started doing something new is to try a new sex position. And I have a book called Seven Stimulating Sex Positions, that it's at seven positions dot com, the number seven positions dot com or at Susan Bratten dot com. All roads lead to Rome. And what I like about that is it's my seven favorite sex positions and it's an illustrated guide there. The illustrated couple is dressed in lingerie and things like that, but it is really fun to just work your way through all seven and try them out. And there are things that generally anyone can do, even if you've got joint problems or weight problems or what have you. So seven positions is something that I'd start with to get your sex life going, because when you learn new things together, when you begin as beginners together, it generates that new relationship, energy that's gone missing. Everything that I've been doing is inside, out, outside, in natural as possible. One of the things that I do love a good skin brush, but one of the things that I think is the most important is a good fatty acid profile. You have to have a lot of good fats. So, for example, I make my own salad dressing. And, you know, in order to eat healthy, raw vegetables and good salads, I like to call this the undressing dressing. Susan Bratton: [00:29:05] I like to call it Visegrád, because what it really does is, you know, we lose the blood flow to our pelvic bowls, both the masculine and feminine, because we get plaque in our arteries from eating bad fats that clog everything up and then our blood flow is restricted. So when you make a good salad dressing out of, you know, like an organic avocado, oil is what I like to use as a base. Yeah. And if you take a cup of organic avocado oil, a quarter cup of a nice sherry vinegar. Yeah, that's nice. Old sherry vinegar and then a tablespoon of Dijon mustard and some salt and pepper. And then I use one of two dried herbs. I'll use fresh herbs. But I honestly think the dried herbs taste better. I use either savory or marjoram. Don't mix them. They don't taste good together. And you just keep those all those ingredients are dried ingredients you can keep in your house all the time. There's nothing up in that that you can't just store. So you can make fresh salad dressing, shake it up in a jar. And then I like to add a salad. I think a salad diced very fine, gives the dressing a delicious dimension. Everybody always wants my dressing people when I'm coming over to their house for dinner pre pandemic, they'd be like, can you can you make me some of that dressing and bring it over? Elizabeth Molina: [00:30:25] It sounds yummy. Susan Bratton: [00:30:26] Yeah, it's delicious. And so I think making sure that you're not eating bottled dressings is very important. Make your own vinaigrette and then take cod liver oil every day, a big tablespoon of it because cod liver oil. And you can get the orange or the. Strawberry flavored I like the Nordic Naturals. It's on Amazon. The cod liver oil has a very good, essential fatty acid profile. But I also use a lot of these activation products. I use the black Couchman oil well like that, the Stari and Pumpkin, which is great for breast and prostate health. And I also use this five seed blend. And so I'll just take a tablespoon of one of these oils along with my cod liver oil. So I eat my avocados, I drink my avocado oil, and I eat my oils. And then I also take something called Puram response, which is it's called a pro resolving mediator. And what this is, is basically essential fatty acids that also really help lower inflammation. A lot of inflammation comes from cellular debris. So when you see yourself aging and you think, OK, what do I do to stem the aging? What you actually have to do is go, I know you like prolon the fasting mimicking diet, and I like that as well. So doing intermittent fasting either with prolon a kit of food that you buy or food window eating gives your body a chance to clean the dead and broken cells out. Elizabeth Molina: [00:32:01] It's all connected. It's all connected. Beauty, health, vitality, sex like function, like when you are inflamed, you don't have a drive. And it doesn't surprise me because there's so many things blocking that blood flow. Yeah. That vitality to come through to get you like you're not feeling yourself. Like how can you you're inflamed. Your body's fighting something, OK? You are Covid. You look fantastic. Like I can only hope and wish that like I will look like you Susan Bratton: [00:32:29] Could really be you know, it really ruined my skin. It was so depressing. It was weird because, you know, I lost my cognitive function. I couldn't work for a year. I'm a CEO of two companies. And my my whole team had to run the business without me. Wow. I couldn't even run the. I'm really not back yet. I'm doing I'm doing a lot of these kinds of experiences getting myself back out in the world because they're easier for me to do than sitting down in meetings and things. I still have concentrate, etc.. But I'll tell you of all the stuff, because I'm so vain, you know, I feel in my life that I've gotten prettier as I age and I want to be beautiful for the joy that it brings me and everyone who gets to look at me, Elizabeth Molina: [00:33:12] Really, I just Susan Bratton: [00:33:13] Love it. We're not supposed to say stuff like this out loud, but you know what? I say stuff out loud and I've been given a gift and I I've worked very hard to maintain it. Now, when I got Covid, it ruined my skin and half my hair fell out. And I, I like to call myself follicular challenged. I've got that Scandinavian baby fine hair. So I'm wearing a hairpiece. I'm wearing what's called an integrated hairpiece. And basically what it is, is it's like a little custom fitted cap that has lots of holes in it, kind of like those old frosting kits. It has these little clips all the way around the base. And I take the tail of my hair, my rat tail of my comb, pull my own hair through it. I have my hair is dyed to match underneath, but my own hair is is very thin and baby fine. And I lost half of it. So I put on this integrated hairpiece. When I do public appearances, the things that I've been doing that are more procedures are number one, I got preppy hair. Yes, I got it. They call it the fam vampire hair left, but it's PRP punched into your head. That then helps new hair growth. And I've got probably a good three inches of hair. But to support that growth, what I do is I use a laser hair hat every day for 10 minutes, just like the laser I use into vaginally to keep my vaginal mucosa strong. I use a laser hair. I sometimes I have the hair cap on and I've got my V fit inside my vagina. And I just sit there on Instagram. Elizabeth Molina: [00:34:57] That's like the ultimate bio hacker. Let's speak about what you're doing, your beauty routine, what you're drinking, what you're eating, because you look fabulous. And obviously we know you've got the bedroom down, but you know, for the bedroom, you also need to feel good. You need to feel good in your skin. You need to feel good in what you're in, in your suit, which is your body, your vessel. Susan Bratton: [00:35:16] Well, we've talked about the internals now, the outside job, again, to keep it as toxin free as possible. And one of the things that I always like to do, if I can, is have the deluxe version and then the ghetto cheap. I'm broke. So I like a product line. If you've got lots of money, I like a product line. And it's kind of these are my real ones, of course. So it's kind of greasy. But I like a brand called Mother Mutty. Elizabeth Molina: [00:35:44] Oh, I love Susan Bratton: [00:35:45] That mother makes body butter. They make and a body oil and they make a body. Sarah and I think these are a very nice quality product with excellent absorption, with a really nice non-toxic profile. Yes. So mother is very good. But if you can't afford mother and I understand that you can't. Here's my ghetto option, which I use a lot for sex, too. This is a mango butter. And all it is is organic, refined mango, but it's literally just mango butter. Elizabeth Molina: [00:36:24] What do you do with this for seeds? Susan Bratton: [00:36:26] I rub it all over my body. I have sensual massages with it. I don't use it internally, but I use it externally. The only reason I don't I would use it internally the first time I use it. But when you have up something, you dip your fingers in to it. It's going to get bacteria and. Yeah. Not use it into your vaginally. Because I always say that if you wouldn't put it in here, you shouldn't put it in here because your vagina is the other end of your alimentary system. Essentially, it's just a tube. And so it's the same tissue and your mouth is very, very similar to your vaginal mucosal lining. And it's really quick to absorb everything. And the problem is that lubs are an FDA class two product, and they have to have preservatives in them to keep the bacteria's out. Right. And the problem with that is that the preservatives are toxic. So I don't I don't recommend if you've got stuff from CVS and Walgreens and all those places that are lubs, just stop using them and switch to an organic refined oil like whole hoeber sweet almond avocado. Those are three nice vaginalis lubricants. And make sure you have them in a squirt bottle so you're not touching them at any time and introducing bacteria and use them quickly so they don't get rancid. Susan Bratton: [00:37:46] They last for quite a while. And if you are a condom user, you need to use a poly urethane or polypropylene condom with an oil based lubricant because oil will break down latex. But so many people have latex allergies now that I don't think anybody's using latex condoms these days, but maybe they are. The other thing that I would say about condoms is that semen is very, very healthy for us women. And we've been kind of scared off of semen because you you're going to get pregnant if you can get a Nestea, you know, all this kind of stuff. But I really like the fertility awareness method using a daisy tracker or another tracker like that so that you don't have to use a condom necessarily if you're with a safe partner who's been tested. Right. You can't do that. The problem is condoms. You know, there's over 20 studies, and only if condoms only protect you from a couple, most estes's your skin to skin contact, which is why I say that until you have your potential partner tested, you should never put your mouth on their genitals. They should never put their mouth on your genitals. And you should never do genital to genital contact. You should keep it to kissing in hands, which are pretty safe as long as they've been Covid tested and vaccinated semen. Susan Bratton: [00:38:57] When you can get into a relationship where where you can actually have the semen in your vagina is very good for you because it has luteinizing hormones that regulate your menses and regulate you even after menopause. Also, serotonin for mood lifting and elevation, zinc for cognitive function, testosterone for courage. And go getter, go get Earnest's. So, you know, we are although I support same same sex relationships with equal vigor, the masculine the male female sexual relationship is a very healthy and symbiotic one. And there's nothing to be afraid of around semen. So that's a long winded talk about STIs and safe sex and contraception and lubrication. But it it all comes down to, you know, non medicated IUDs and fertility awareness met that are the least toxic birth control pills and lubs you get at the grocery store are the most toxic. And the chances are that your listeners are maybe doing one or both of those things. So it's it's important to talk about. So the inside job around toxin's these these can be oils. You know, they're cheap. You get a big vat of it. They're very nice. And these are really good for the rising of the externals. Elizabeth Molina: [00:40:19] Yes. And you said something about the sperm and how like it's great. You know, obviously, if you're practicing safe sex, use Daisie, Tricor, et cetera, et cetera. If you know your cycle, be responsible like, you know, obviously don't email us and say like, hey, I became pregnant, it's your fault now, like take care of this baby. What about swallowing sperm? Like, how does that affect? Because I know so many women who are concerned with the cat. Calories, I know this sounds crazy, but they talk about calories. Are going to stay in your body. What is that going to damage you? Like there's so many conversations about this and it's still taboo. But I figured you're here. Why not? Like, let's just get it out of the bag. Susan Bratton: [00:40:58] Well, your vaginal mucosa is a very spongy tissue. So it's going to pull in all that goodness and distribute it through your body when you ingest semen. Your stomach acid is really killing it off. So you're not getting the same benefits. And with regard to caloric content, that's a Google global fact. I'm not worried about calories at that level, myself personally. Elizabeth Molina: [00:41:23] And so, like, let's continue with the regimen. Susan Bratton: [00:41:25] Yeah, I like Doctor Dennis Gross. I like his alpha hydroxy daily skin refinishing and his body refinishing. Ok, Hydrox, these are fruit acids. They're quite natural. There's not a lot of chemicals in these daily body buffers and weekly body buffers. And they're very good at keeping your skin soft. I've always worked my whole life to keep my skin feeling like velvet. I want it to be plump, wrinkle free, but I don't mind getting tan. I don't know if you can see, but I'm a tan woman and there's no tan lines. Elizabeth Molina: [00:42:01] Guys, you have to see this whole diet and do that again. I mean, like that was hot. Look at this. Oh, my God. Ok, dude, she's like a 28 year old. Like, fuck what? Ok, we don't have to like play this back and clip this for like micro content. Like she just lashed us. And it was not and I'm not sad about that. I was on a hot flash twice. Sorry. You're doing a great job that mother oil is really working. I would order all a whole bunch of that today. Susan Bratton: [00:42:32] I like sunshine. Now, the problem is I don't let it get on my face and my neck and deckle touch. So I wear a really good sunscreen. And the one that I like is called Eclipse SPF. I wear this. But I also this is one of my this is one of my places where I make an exception. I use Chanel Foundation and it has some shitty chemicals in it, but I don't care. Elizabeth Molina: [00:42:55] And I love that you said Susan Bratton: [00:42:56] That you got to choose your battles, 80-20. Yeah. The eclipse under. And then what I like is that CC cream from Chanel because it is pretty thick but doesn't look thick on. And it's a fantastic barrier. If I took my breath, I have my makeup matching my tan because I sit out in the sun every day naked in my backyard and I get 15 or 20 minutes worth of sun. And I do have some aged spots, which I continue to whack back with Fraxel. So I get the spots and I whack the spots. That's my process. I don't love it, but that's what I do, because I want the viit, the natural sun, the natural color, the natural vitamin D. It makes me feel better. And feeling better is even more important than age spots for me. So I've got a white face and a brown body. And so what I do is I use the Chanel cream, the Chanel CC cream, which is also a really nice ESPs. I have a double SPF on my face because I don't want to lazarre the crap out of my face. Now, there's some other things. So this is a product that I've been using and it's very expensive. It's three hundred dollars a bottle. Elizabeth Molina: [00:44:05] What is this? Susan Bratton: [00:44:06] It's from skin medaka. Everything I own has grease on it. I mean, literally, that's Elizabeth Molina: [00:44:11] Because you use them. Susan Bratton: [00:44:13] I am just I am so lubed up. I am like a slippery little devil all the time. This skin, medaka tiens, advanced serum. This is a single pump in the morning, single pump at night. And essentially this is a firming, smoothing, tightening anti wrinkle. Good for us, old six year old broads. So I use skin medika. And this is one where I'm like, I'm just doing it. It's got some stuff in it, but it's working. It's really getting rid of the surface, the small fine lines and giving me some plumpness. So I've done the PRP into my skin. I get the facials. I do a couple of other things. Here's two more things that are natural. One is castor oil. I use castor oil. When I shampoo my hair, I put a dropper full of castor oil with the shampoo and shampoo with the castor oil in it. It's very good for hair growth and emollient, see, but you have to put it with the shampoo and then kind of scrub it out and it leaves a little a little deposit of that. And that's been very good. You can use this on your eyebrows. If they get thin as you age, castor oil will regrow your eyelashes and your eyebrows. And then I just got on to this one of my mentors, Dr. Patti Taylor, who's well, a little older than I am. Let's just put it that way. She's a redhead, so she's got super fair, thin skin. And I was telling her about how Covid just really. Took my skin and just made it so bad. And she said, try this hoe hoeber oxygenated skin cream, it's called pure 03 P oh three. Elizabeth Molina: [00:45:56] Oh, I've heard of this is amazing. Susan Bratton: [00:45:57] It's really it makes your skin really nice and plump and it's all natural and organic. So I really like this activated oxygen. Oil. It's basically ozone. Elizabeth Molina: [00:46:10] One thing. Susan Bratton: [00:46:11] And they shoot it with ozone. And you can use it if you get like fungal infections on your nails, your toes or your nails. Elizabeth Molina: [00:46:19] Can I say that that's also great for like acne scars, like the healing, like a rash or anything like that. Mosquito bites like that is amazing. Amazing. I love that Susan Bratton: [00:46:30] Stuff. And it's so simple. It's just how horrible oil and ozone, you know, it's great. It's like castor oil. These are our grandmother's recipes and remedies that we're coming back to that I think are very powerful. Now, of course, I also do things like topical estrogen. I have a compounded estrogen topical that I do, and I do this maybe once a week. It's estriol, progesterone and organic shea butter. It doesn't absorb very well. You're not going to get any you're not going to get your estrogen boost that way. I do bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. And I have a little a little clicker that puts a little bit of shea butter with essed biased. When you do estrogen replacement, you need to take two kinds of estrogen estriol and estradiol, because the third kind of estrogen is estrogen. And that's the one that gives you breast cancer. So you have a ratio of estrogens throughout the three estrogens. You want to increase the pie of the two good ones, which decreases the pie of the bad one. So it's a biased that I use intravenously. So it goes right into my system because it's just like I would be eating it, but I'm putting it where I want to thicken the vaginal tissue. Ok. I also take progesterone sublingual at night and I put testosterone cream around my labia on my clitoris, and that's how I get my testosterone. And so I take testosterone, progesterone and biassed as bioidentical hormones for hormone replacement. But I also do a topical estrogen on my face and forearms and hands because the tissue gets thin. Yes. My neck and décolletage. Elizabeth Molina: [00:48:19] So I just want to make sure that everybody knows, like you want to be seeking out a professional. Don't go out there and buy weird estrogen testosterones from China that you don't know where you're sourcing them from. Like this is very, very important. Guys, she is working with someone she didn't like, just Google this and she's like, oh, I heard this on a podcast. Let me figure it out. Like just I just wanted to put that disclaimer out there. Ok. Tell us the next the next stuff. Susan Bratton: [00:48:44] Well, the other thing that I do for the age spots it's topical is hydroquinone, Treant annoying and Kojak acid. And this is my from my derm and this is what I put on the little age spots that appear because, you know, they do you do get sun. You just do. And what's come out. So this is what I use on my face to kind of mitigate those. It would be similar to what you would do if you use like O'Bagy. It's kind of like better than O'Bagy because it's scrypt not off the shelf, but it's very similar. It's like, you know, it'd be like skin cuticles or O'Bagy or something like that. But it's a prescription strength. And that's the that's the little combo that I use for my derm for the age spots. And then the last thing I want to tell you about is bone structure. As we age and everything droops. A part of the reason that it droops is that we're losing bone mass in our face. We lose the bone density, and that's what actually causes our face to collapse. I chew something called tears of Cheetos. This is this is a resin. It's called Mastec. It's it's a resin. I get this on Amazon. It's a resin that comes from a pomegranate tree on the island of Chios in Greece. It's a natural product and it's like gum, but it's tougher and natural. And every day I chew for as long as I can to my jaws get worn out. I chew this, you know, kind of like tough thing to give my jaws a workout, to keep my system strong so that I don't have bone density loss. Elizabeth Molina: [00:50:24] So I love to ask everyone, like you are thriving in so many categories, but I also love to you know, you said Covid really got you. And like we're human and we can do all that we want to do. And we can be like the water expert, the sleep expert, the sex expert. But we may we have our days. So I want the audience to know like. Ok, you're human, too. Like you're also sometimes excelling in one category, sometimes you need a little bit of extra care. So where would you say that you are excelling in the beauty circle and where would you say you could use a little bit more attention? Susan Bratton: [00:50:57] For me, it's about building back my stamina and regrowing all of the muscle tissue that I lost, the sarcopenia that happened from laying in bed. So one of the things that I'm worried about is getting started again now that my energy is such that I keep getting all these little little infections because my immune system is so compromised, you know, so I've been I'll get up and then I'll get hurt and I'll get up again, and then I'll get hurt and I'll get up again and I'll get hurt. So I'm trying to go to the source and got it do autophagy and fix my immune system. But I'm also needing to rebuild muscle without hurting myself. And one of the things I'm planning to do this summer is a series of M Sculp. Yes. Yes, because I think that if I can use a machine, it uses electromagnetic vibration to contract your muscles like 12000 times in a you know, in a treatment I'm going to do this summer is do a lot of ocean swimming and dive the waves and things like that. That's what I'm in and making love. Not that I'm going to you making up for lost time, but definitely my weak spot right now is the musculature and my strength, my flexibility, my balance, because Covid also does a lot of brain trauma. So I've lost a lot. I've lost flexibility and muscle lying in bed, and I've lost stamina from being ill and I've lost my balance from the Covid brain injury that I got. So I'm really working on that. The stamina, the flexibility that Elizabeth Molina: [00:52:39] The bowel movements. Yes, all Susan Bratton: [00:52:41] That's the next Elizabeth Molina: [00:52:42] Thing. Ok, so where is it? So now we know where you're lacking. Where are you thriving? Susan Bratton: [00:52:46] I'm thriving in all of the things that I've learned my whole life are coming together in ways that I can really say, things that help people understand quickly how to have the intimate connection that they want and to understand that it's not their fault. They haven't been doing anything wrong, that you just didn't know. And now, you know, and it's going to be easier. Elizabeth Molina: [00:53:07] I love that we're coming to the end. And I like to ask all my guests, what is one piece of advice, something that you wish you would have told your younger self like today, Susan, today, right here, right now, sitting with me. What would you have told the younger version of yourself? Susan Bratton: [00:53:21] Every time insecurity creeps into your mind about your looks, about your body, about all of that physicality, you're never going to look better than you do right now. You're you're always going to it's just going to get worse and worse. And if you spend your whole life holding yourself up to some thing of imperfection that you can't get trying to push yourself to become, that you're making yourself miserable. And what people what people think about you is how you make them feel about themselves, not how you look. And the less that you worry about those little things that come into your mind and the more you realize that it's just your estrogen making you feel that. Let lack of confidence and that judgment. It's just your mind trying to keep you safe. But sometimes our minds aren't programmed quite right and they're hard on us. And the more that you can let go of worry about those imperfections and the more that you can put your energy into heart connection and joy, the better life you will have. Elizabeth Molina: [00:54:32] That's such great advice. And not just for yourself or your younger self, but for anyone listening in right now. There's so many people who need to hear this message. So I am so happy that you're sharing that with us. And we have come to the segment where most of my guests are so humble, they don't love to over brag about themselves or boast about their accomplishments. So I made a section called Breaktime where you get to brag about yourself. Tell us what you're doing. It doesn't have to necessarily be business related. It could be like you learn to paint with your toes or something like, I don't know, you know, like something random, something fun that you're proud of that you want to share with us. So the floor is yours, like brag away. Susan Bratton: [00:55:18] I learned how to scuba dive just a few years ago, and I've done over 30 dives already. And I find being in the ocean a deep connection to Gaia, to Earth, to all living things. And I think that you can learn new skills at any age. And mine was scuba diving. Elizabeth Molina: [00:55:37] Oh, I love that, I love that brag about yours. I'm excited to try it one day. I definitely on my bucket list. Yeah. Have you seen any sharks or dolphins? Like did you get to. Did you scuba dive in like the ocean in that way or no? Susan Bratton: [00:55:51] I have seen sharks. I haven't seen any dolphins. I haven't been where there are dolphins, but I have seen sharks and manta rays and all kinds of amazing animals that so beautiful under there. Elizabeth Molina: [00:56:03] Thank you so much for coming on. I really do appreciate it. I know that my listeners have gotten so much information. We went from sex to skin to the beauty inside out to scuba diving to you, flashing us with. We can tell that you're definitely putting in work because your skin looks amazing and it definitely shows. So if you guys didn't get to watch the anatomy pictures in the beginning or Susan flashing us or all of the amazing products that she's using. Definitely.

Where can they find you? Yeah. Susan Bratton: [00:56:55] Susan Bratten Soussan be a teto and you can find me on Instagram. You can find me on my website. You'll find me. I'm out there. Elizabeth Molina: [00:57:05] Well, thank you so much. And definitely check out all of her freebies. I am excited. Definitely. We have to do alive and we have to like keep on connecting because I've made you my mentor. So, yeah, the audience is going to get a lot of you. Bye, guys.

But definitely put something of the comic guys. I mean, this was such a bomb conversation. And I want to see the other stuff. But I do want to be respectful of all of our listeners because we have all ages. And I'm just trying to make it work for everyone, really. I have been left wanting more. Having a thousand more questions. It's so interesting. And, you know, she has been so, so nice to have so many free guides on her website. I will have everything linked in the show notes. And again, you know what I'm going to ask you know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say sharing is caring. If you have a friend, a girlfriend, a partner, anyone who you think would benefit from the female anatomy and learning more about the female body. Elizabeth Molina: [00:58:17] Also, even aging, you know, the way that Dr. Susan talks about in the things that she's going through or has gone through, please share this with that and do not be greedy. This is totally free and have them subscribe because we're going to have to really interesting more conversations to come.

It's time to go back in time! This is part 1 of a 3-part series on "generations." This week we are sitting down with three members of our community who are part of Gen X. We explore what made Gen Xers who they are, reminisce about life in the 80s, and learn what makes the MTV generation so special. Generation X is the generational classification for anyone born between 1965 and 1980. This week, representing Gen X, we talk to Diane Boyd, John Davidson, and Brian Mayfield. They have all been part of our Christ Fellowship community for several years, and some since the beginning. They serve in all different capacities. Diane is one of the elders of Christ Fellowship. John helps out with Kids Church, and Brian was one of the original four leaders who helped to start our youth ministry, The Bridge. Each of them share their experiences growing up in the 1980's from how Mtv defined their generation, how the economic shift in the United States in the 80s changed their families and impacted how they grew up and became self-reliant, their experience in college and how societial pressure influenced their lives, how cable television changed the culture in America, and what their experiences with the church changed over the past 40 years. We cover lots of topics in this one as well as take some time in the Lightning Round to reminisce about life and pop culture in the 1980's. This is Generation X's story.

Het leven van Douglas Gremmen staat in het teken van sport. Gremmen kwam in contact met HYROX en was gelijk enthousiast. ‘‘HYROX is een combinatie van functionele fitness en meetbaarheid.''Gremmen zit inmiddels in het management van de competitie die de wereld van fitness wil veranderen. ‘‘Sport is altijd mijn leven geweest. Ik was 18 of 19 en kwam op een tweesprong. Ik voelde me eigenlijk niet thuis bij de studie die ik deed. Precies op dat moment kwam ik in contact met mensen die mijn aandacht richting de sportmarketing brachten.'' Gremmen verhuisde uiteindelijk zelfs richting China, waar hij het hele verhaal van de olympisch spelen in Beijing meemaakte.Per toeval kwam de geboren Amerikaan in contact met Hyrox. Het van origine Duitse Hyrox is in 2017 opgericht door mensen die uit de marathon en triatlon wereld kwamen. ‘‘De acht onderdelen van het concept lijken niet veel, totdat je ze combineert tot de daadwerkelijke training. Lopen, lunges, roeien en meer. Je bent wel even bezig, maar je kan het dan ook op je eigen tempo doen.''Het bedrijf heeft grote plannen en ziet voor zichzelf een toekomst in Amerika. ‘‘De eerste buitenlandse stappen van het bedrijf werden gezet in Zwitserland en Oostenrijk. Vervolgens is het vizier al snel richting Amerika gegaan, maar toen kwam corona. Het is natuurlijk zwaar, maar het gaf ook tijd om plannen verder te ontwikkelen. We proberen het concept zo flexibel mogelijk te maken. Het grote voordeel van het concept is de meetbaarheid. Wat meetbaar is, is verbeterbaar.''Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
