What does it really look like to live as a professional high-stakes gambler at the very top of the casino food chain? In this episode, Johnny sits down with RJ “Chip” Ryan — a legendary blackjack whale who spent decades betting millions per hand in casinos from Atlantic City to Las Vegas to Macau. RJ tells the raw, unfiltered story of how he went from a broke gambler driving to Atlantic City with his last $5,000, to carrying $10 million in checks, flying private jets, rubbing shoulders with billionaires and celebrities, and taking casinos for millions of dollars at a time. RJ is also known to many as “Robin Hood of Las Vegas” from the Cocaine Cowboys universe — the man who helped launder cartel money through casinos, later cooperating with the feds and offering a very different version of events than what's been told on screen. This episode dives deep into: -The real math and psychology behind winning at high-stakes blackjack -How casinos court, reward, and ultimately try to break whales -Blowing millions in a single night — and coming back the next day to win it all back -Private jets, penthouse suites, celebrity parties, and casino politics The emotional toll of gambling, addiction, loyalty, karma, and survival -RJ's personal reckoning after caring for his mother, losing everything, and betting his life on one final run This is not a glamorized gambling story — it's a brutally honest look at the highs, lows, wins, losses, and moral gray zones of a life lived on the edge. Stick around until the end and decide for yourself: Was RJ a genius, a degenerate, a hustler — or all three? This Episode Is #Sponsored By The Following: Ridge!

In Episode 90 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with my friend Lachy Oliver. Lachy is an ancestral coach with a focus on both weight loss & health optimisation, a topic which is of great interest to me! We connected through social media and given our similar interests it was only natural to make a conversation happen whilst he was visiting Melbourne. During our discussion we touched on why 2025 was the best year of his life, how he naturally overcame Crohn's disease, additional eye opening life events that inspired his current lifestyle, how anxiety/depression helped shape him into the man he is today, the fulfilment he gets from helping others take control of their health and much much more. This conversation was a long time coming and I genuinely hope you enjoy what will go down as my final interview for 2025!!! If you liked this podcast, I would greatly appreciate 5 stars on Spotify/Apple Podcasts or a subscription on YouTube, the support I get makes it so much easier to keep going!!!

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 103:2–3 — Healing Prayer for Pain, Illness, Weakness and Full Restoration in Christ Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. Sisters and brothers, we are straight in — no delay, no hesitation — straight into prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. “Praise the Lord… who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.” Jeremiah 17:14 — “Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved.” Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we thank You that You are the God who heals, restores, renews and strengthens Your people. We lift before You every listener facing pain, fatigue, inflammation, chronic conditions, sudden illness or unexplained weakness in their body. Lord, You see the aches behind closed doors, the symptoms that are frightening, the medical tests, the appointments, the waiting, and the deep emotional weariness that physical pain brings — especially in this season of December when bodies feel low, tired, and overwhelmed. Lord, we speak Your Word of healing over every cell, every muscle, every joint, every organ. Let the balm of heaven flow. Let supernatural strength rise. Where fear has entered because of symptoms, replace it with Your peace. Where nights have been restless because of pain, give deep restorative rest. Where energy has drained away, breathe fresh vitality by Your Spirit. We pray for those waiting on doctors, treatments, surgeries, or diagnoses — surround them with Your power. We pray for those carrying silent pain while working, parenting, caregiving, or just trying to get through the day. Lord, lift the burden. Heal the hidden places. Restore the weary body. Jesus, our Healer, touch the body of every listener around the world from London to Sydney, from Cape Town to Toronto, from Singapore to São Paulo. Release healing, strength and renewal today.

In November of 2024 a practitioner living in Switzerland began experiencing pain and stiffness in her joints. Initially she viewed it as a disease to be treated, but with help from other practitioners she began to look for shortcomings in her cultivation and found deep seated resentments towards her husband, as well as an attachment to erotic desire she had not yet given up. Through focused Fa study and persistent self reflection her symptoms improved and she came to see the tribulation as a gift in helping her improve.

The holidays can be filled with joy, but for many living with chronic pain or chronic illness, December brings spikes in symptoms, packed calendars, and pressure to perform happiness. We unpack why this happens through a brain and nervous system lens and share a realistic survival guide you can actually use, even on your busiest days.We break down how neuroplastic pain and illness amplifies under holiday “danger signals” such as: family conflict or distance, pressure, people pleasing, financial strain, and social or physical exposure. Then we get practical. You'll learn how to stack safety signals—breathwork, present-moment sensing, qigong, visualization, safe self-talk—in ways that fit your style, whether you prefer scheduled 20-minute practices or quick five-minute resets during gatherings. We also walk through processing dysregulation without suppression, because resisting emotion reliably cranks up pain and symptom sensitivity, while gentle exposure paired with safety calms your system.Finally, we tackle people pleasing with tools that protect your energy and your relationships. Set boundaries inside your healing window—limit events, simplify gifts, and skip conflict-heavy topics. Practice free expression that's honest and kind, reducing resentment and easing your nervous system. Lower intensity on purpose: slow your pace, schedule non-negotiable regulation time, and choose fewer traditions to do. If you've felt trapped between wanting a meaningful holiday season and managing symptoms, this conversation offers a clear route to both. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a calmer holiday, and leave a review to help others discover practical tools for neuroplastic pain and nervous system regulation.Safety Signal Practice: https://youtu.be/gCMCfPZ7Qr0Emotion & Dysregulation Practice: https://youtu.be/qJ-dZ1YRFYcTanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation.

Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
The Christmas Character quiz is here: https://www.englandcast.com/christmas-character-quiz/ - I'd love to see what you got!And the ecard site is here: https://www.englandcast.com/tudor-tidings/How did the Tudors understand the human body, and why does their approach feel so strange to us today? In this episode, I explore how people in Tudor England thought about health, illness, emotion, and balance, and how the body was believed to be shaped by air, weather, and even feelings themselves. We'll also look at where Tudor medicine overlaps with our own, and why their way of living in the body wasn't as unscientific as it's often assumed. Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Rudy Eberwein shares his personal journey from eating heavily processed foods in the US to becoming a nutrition-focused doctor, highlighting how American foods are engineered to activate reward centers in the brain.

Writing about the illness experience, medical sociologist Richard Frank described an unspoken agreement with his doctor that if he adopted their detached and clinical language when discussing his illness, "I would have at least a junior place on the management team." Initially it seemed like "not a bad deal," until he experienced the toll it took, concluding that, "No one should have to stay cool and professional while being told their body is breaking down, though medical patients always have to do just that." Through three poems selected by our repeat guest, English professor Laura Greene of Augustana College, we see the pain and cost to patients when their doctors and nurses hold them at arm's length, unable or unwilling to see their humanity. We reflect on why, and what to do about it.

Dr. Martin Picard, PhD, is a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University and an expert on how our behaviors and psychology shape cellular energy production and rates of aging. He explains that your mitochondria don't just “make energy”; they translate what you do—your mindset and your relationships—into the energy you experience as vitality or lack thereof. He explains how exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, and even certain thought patterns and our sense of purpose can charge our cells like batteries.

What do you do when you're faced with an insurmountable obstacle? Answer: You act with realistic hope. This week at Love University, we had an inspiring time with Jennifer Dickenson—cancer survivor, wellness advocate, and author of A Case for Hope (https://tinyurl.com/4j2jukn8). In 2011, she was a busy, stressed-out lawyer who was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and told she only had twelve months to live. She recovered and now teaches others how to harness their mind, body, and spirit to create durable well-being. Here are some important things to keep in mind when you're stuck in an unwinnable place: Hope Is a Daily Verb One way to define hope is “focusing on the positive while taking realistic steps toward joy and meaning.” Genuine hope begins with practical optimism. You expect the best while also planning for contingencies and unexpected occurrences. In this way, you're prepared but positive; realistic yet optimistic. Train Your Attention on Small but Steady Goals Big numbers—diagnoses, timelines, statistics—can paralyze you. The antidote is to work on the small numbers you can control. Begin with the smallest winnable action: a five-minute walk when your energy is low; talking to a friend for a short while when you're lonely; reading a few pages of a spiritual book when you need inspiration. Remember: Your attention is your remedy. Focus on the things that empower and heal you: meditating, praying, exercising, listening to music, spending quality time with loved ones, or practicing a relaxing bedtime ritual (turn off devices 30 minutes before sleep). When you do these things, you will be refreshed and energized, ready to look forward to tomorrow with renewed hope and enthusiasm. Laughter Is a Great Medicine Laugher can save your life. Norman Cousins, the renowned journalist and author, combined humor films with medical care during a serious inflammatory illness. He recovered and wrote a classic book: Anatomy of an Illness. It's true: Humor can lighten your life and help you gain perspective. Start this week: watch funny shows, go to a comedy show, or play improv games with your friends—the laughter that ensues will enlighten your mind and lift your spirits. In the end, rebuilding your life is about practical, optimistic, and repeatable steps. Choose one healthy thing you can do today—do it before noon, and let tomorrow build on it. Your life will grow with hope and happiness.

Are you an empath or a highly sensitive woman struggling with persistent stress, anxiety, and trauma? In this episode we speak with MarBeth Dunn, a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery, and the author of Awaken the Healer Within.MarBeth, who healed her own severe asthma, shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with the body's wisdom to achieve health and emotional freedom. We explore how physical symptoms serve a purpose (protecting us from emotional conflict) and the danger of "pushing through" them.Key information01:44 Marbeth's healing journey was initially prompted by her struggle with severe asthma, which led to constant panicky sensations and an underlying belief that she could find and resolve the root cause.03:03 A pivotal early tool in her self-discovery was learning to use a pendulum to communicate with her subconscious mind, asking yes or no questions to uncover hidden emotions.07:47 A core philosophy is that physical symptoms serve a purpose, often protecting us from unprocessed emotional trauma or conflict. Removing the symptom prematurely can unleash heavy, unaddressed emotions.10:02 Safety first is the most crucial principle when addressing physical symptoms and trauma. One must listen to the body and ensure it feels safe before exploring deep issues to avoid resistance and worsening symptoms.12:56 Marbeth demonstrated healing a potential flu (grief-related) by moving into the feeling, extending love to it and letting it dissipate. Emotional feelings need to be acknowledged to resolve.14:19 Healing happens through love and acceptance, not fighting or striving against symptoms. This shifts the body into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), promoting calm and healing.25:13 Somatic healing involves using body-based exercises (like rubbing the body, shaking/bouncing, dancing, singing) to naturally release stress and trauma, often without needing to revisit the emotional story.MarBeth Bio MarBeth Dunn is a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery. For over 35 years, she has helped empaths, sensitives and high-achieving women release stress, anxiety and trauma by reconnecting with their bodies and regulating their nervous systems.She is the author of Awaken the Healer Within: Overcome Stress, Anxiety and Illness. MarBeth was featured as a mentor in the movie “Bernie's Journey” and as an expert in the upcoming films “The Frequency of Miracles” “The Art of Manifestation” and “The Frequency of Longevity.” MarBeth's signature method blends somatic intelligence, energy work and spiritual insight, empowering others to heal from the inside out and create calm, clarity and emotional resilience in everyday life.Connect with MarBeth www.marbethdunn.comhttps://www.facebook.com/marbethdunn1https://www.instagram.com/marbethdunn/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marbethdunn/https://www.youtube.com/@MarbethDunn1Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai and Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, author of the book Pull, explains why illness is often a failure to manage gravity. He describes how our relationship with gravity defines strength, balance, digestion, mental stability, and emotional health. Take the Gravotype Quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to identify how your body manages gravity. Key Insights and Action Steps — Dr. Brennan Spiegel "Every single cell of your body evolved from this force of gravity. Physics came first, and biology came second." Illness arises when we fail to manage gravity. Every organ, tendon, and cell depends on that relationship. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up this sack of potatoes that we all have in our belly. When you open up the gut, it opens up digestion." Posture determines how well the gut, diaphragm, and circulation function. Sitting compresses digestion and lowers energy. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." Balance, grip strength, and posture are measurable indicators of longevity. "The inner ear is like a gyroscope constantly keeping track of your position in relation to gravity." The nervous system continuously measures gravity. Inner-ear disturbances can create dizziness, anxiety, and panic. "When you're depressed, you can't get up out of bed. Your body is slumped over. It's almost like there's so much gravity pulling on your body, it's like you're in a black hole." Depression mirrors an excessive gravitational load. Emotional heaviness is a physical experience of being pulled down. "Strong negative emotional experiences can permanently change the way the brain forms… the mind has learned to be pulled down emotionally, physically, socially." Childhood trauma reshapes how the brain perceives gravity, making the body feel heavier and slower to rise. "The feet are a gravity management surface… only five percent of the body's surface area but holding one hundred percent of the weight." Feet are the interface between body and planet. Strengthening them restores alignment and balance. "Your relationship to the planet, both latitudinally and altitudinally, will determine your health." Altitude, light, and environment influence serotonin, immunity, and microbiome function. "Serotonin itself is a gravity management substance." Serotonin regulates mood and physical stability, linking emotional and gravitational balance. "When it's stimulated, it activates the rest and digest phase and helps release serotonin." The vagus nerve is the primary connection between body and mind, calming the system and improving serotonin flow. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." Carrying additional resistance through weighted movement improves posture, strength, and metabolism. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain and flushes out amyloid." Sleep restores gravitational equilibrium and supports brain recovery. "Gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Long-term health depends on strengthening that relationship physically, mentally, and emotionally. Action Items from Dr. Brennan Spiegel 1. Identify your gravotype. Take the 16-question quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to learn which of the eight gravotypes you belong to and how your body manages gravity. 2. Build gravity fortitude. Strengthen the muscles and bones that keep you upright — especially your back, core, and legs. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up the gut and opens digestion." 3. Stand tall and move often. Avoid long hours of sitting. Use a standing desk or take frequent standing breaks. Sitting compresses the abdomen, slows digestion, and reduces serotonin. 4. Strengthen the diaphragm and posture daily. Practice standing with shoulders back and chin level to engage the diaphragm and improve breathing and gut function. 5. Train your balance. Test and improve balance by standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or using a balance board. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." 6. Practice grip and hanging strength. Hang from a bar daily. Aim for 30 seconds, then increase gradually toward 2 minutes. Even short "dead hangs" improve shoulder, spine, and nervous-system alignment. 7. Use light weighted resistance. Try a weighted vest or light ankle weights while walking or doing chores. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." 8. Walk, run, or train barefoot or in minimalist shoes (safely). Let the feet feel the ground to activate stabilizing muscles. "When you ground your foot, everything else pulls up straight from there." 9. Reconnect with the ground. Spend time standing or walking on natural surfaces (grass, sand, earth) when possible. 10. Stay hydrated. Keep enough fluid in your body to "pump blood and oxygen up into the brain." Dehydration weakens gravity tolerance and causes dizziness or fatigue. 11. Regulate the nervous system. Do slow, controlled breathing through pursed lips to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the body. "Slow meditative breathing activates the rest-and-digest phase." 12. Consider gentle vagus-nerve stimulation. Use only safe methods such as breathing, humming, or medical devices under supervision. Avoid carotid massage unless advised by a doctor. 13. Strengthen vestibular and proprioceptive awareness. Engage activities that challenge coordination: yoga, dance, gymnastics, tai chi, or balance training. 14. Manage mental gravity. Notice emotional heaviness as a physical sensation; practice posture, breathing, and grounding to counteract "mental black holes." 15. Use awe and nature to elevate mood. Spend time in nature, watch sunsets, or listen to music that evokes awe. "Feeling part of something greater than yourself elevates mood and serotonin." 16. Increase natural serotonin. Seek sunlight, exercise outdoors, connect socially, and reduce processed foods. Serotonin helps both mood and muscle tone to "fight gravity physically and mentally." 17. Optimize sleep for gravitational recovery. Sleep 7–8 hours flat or slightly inclined if you have reflux. Avoid heavy meals within 2 hours of sleep. Limit screens before bed. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain." 18. Manage reflux and digestion. If prone to reflux, raise the head of the bed about 10 degrees or use a wedge pillow. Sleep on your left side to reduce acid reaching the esophagus. 19. Support circulation through movement. Use your muscles as pumps, walk regularly, stretch calves, and move legs during travel or desk work to prevent stagnation. 20. Avoid chronic compression. Reduce time bent over laptops or phones; keep screens at eye level to protect diaphragm and digestion. 21. Engage with natural environments. Nature exposure increases serotonin and improves gravity resilience. "Being in green spaces is mood-elevating because that's what we evolved with." 22. Monitor environment and altitude. If you live or work at high altitude, be mindful of mood or sleep changes and adjust oxygen exposure and sunlight time. 23. Balance convenience with movement. Spiegel warns that modern comfort, constant sitting, processed food, artificial environments, represents "our species losing the battle against gravity." 24. Reframe health. Adopt the mindset that "gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Everything, from mood to digestion, is part of managing that relationship.

When writer Patricia Lockwood fell ill with Covid in March 2020, she says she felt insane for months, experiencing “Brian fog” (not brain fog) and what she called “The Refrains,” where a single song lyric would play over and over in her mind. So she decided to make sense of it all by writing “a masterpiece about being confused.” We talk to Lockwood about what it was like to write while “insane” and edit while in full health, and how she found humor in the absurdity of illness.
