Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Meghan Rabbitt as my guest. Meghan is an award-winning journalist and the author of The New Rules of Women's Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. She specializes in women's health and wellness, and her work has appeared in several national publications, including Oprah Daily, Prevention, Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, and others.  Meghan is known for translating and clarifying complex medical and scientific topics into actionable information. In our conversation today, we dive into her new book and explore the process of writing a 700-page guide. We discuss how the old rules of women's health have often failed, and Meghan shares her hope that things will shift. We cover underrecognized midlife issues such as heart disease, the power of knowledge, reframing the aging process, and how the lack of research funding and a paternalistic system contributed to the lack of information on how women's bodies age.  We also examine the influence of social media, navigating the medical system, advocacy, the gut-brain-hormone connection, and the crucial role of fiber, and Meghan emphasizes why every woman's story matters.  Meghan's book is incredibly valuable, as it speaks to women of all ages, from young adults to those in later life. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why personal context matters when following nutrition advice on social media The value of seeking multiple clinician opinions when facing health choices Improving your communication with clinicians to help them understand your priorities and concerns An essential approach to diet and lifestyle  Underrecognized midlife issues, like heart disease, and why they are often overlooked in women's health How midlife changes in estrogen are linked with alterations in the microbiome and astrobolome Understanding the gut-brain-hormone connection can help clarify your symptoms and guide your lifestyle choices. Gut health and why fiber is important Knowledge, advocacy, and reframing aging empower women to navigate the medical system and make better-informed decisions Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

The middle market. Booked, but not confident. Busy, but capped. Improving, but still stuck. In this episode, I finally show you the system that changed everything for me. Not tactics. Not hacks. A structure that helped me see my business clearly, stop guessing, and start making decisions that actually moved the needle. This is the same system I built and used last year as I moved out of the middle market and generated over $400,000 in bookings. It showed me why better work alone wasn't fixing it, where my business was leaking energy, and what actually deserved my focus. If you've felt close but never quite breaking through, this episode will help you see why. I'm also inviting you to a free live training called Getting Unstuck from the Middle Market, where I'll walk you through this framework live and help you identify what's actually holding your business back and what to focus on next.

If you are exhausted all the time and can't figure out why, this episode is for you. Today I'm breaking down the real truth about adrenal health, cortisol, and fatigue, and why so many women feel stuck, dismissed, or confused when it comes to their energy. Fatigue is not one thing. It is not always just stress, and it is definitely not something you should be told to "just push through." One of the most frustrating things about fatigue is that so many symptoms overlap. Low energy can come from nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar instability, thyroid dysfunction, estrogen or progesterone imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, or cortisol issues. This is why guessing rarely works. When women ask me: Why do I feel like this? Are my adrenals burned out? Is my cortisol too high or too low? Why does nothing I try actually fix this? The answer is not a guess. The answer is data. This is one of the reasons I love the DUTCH test so much. It shows us what your body is actually doing with cortisol, not just a single snapshot in time. I recently reviewed a DUTCH test for a woman whose main concern was low libido. She had tried every testosterone supplement out there and even changed her workouts to boost hormones. Her testosterone looked great. The real issue was her cortisol and adrenal function. This is incredibly common. Cortisol issues can shut down libido, energy, motivation, sleep, and even weight regulation, especially in women. High Cortisol vs Poor Cortisol Clearance Sometimes fatigue comes from producing too much cortisol. Other times, it comes from the body being unable to clear cortisol effectively. The DUTCH test shows us both. Elevated cortisol production can look like feeling wired but tired, anxious, inflamed, unable to sleep, or constantly on edge. Poor cortisol clearance can lead to puffiness, brain fog, inflammation, weight gain, hair loss, and a sense that stress just keeps piling up. These require different strategies, and this is where personalized care matters. Why Lifestyle Has to Be Part of Healing If someone is helping you with hormones but never asks about your sleep, stress, digestion, or daily life, you are not getting full care. Sometimes healing looks like: Supporting cortisol regulation with adaptogens and targeted herbs Improving protein and mineral intake Fixing sleep timing and consistency Supporting liver, gut, lymphatic, and kidney clearance Learning how to stop living in constant survival mode And sometimes the most powerful changes are surprisingly simple, but only once you know exactly what your body needs. How We Actually Fix This Once we know what's going on, the next question is always: "Okay, what do I do about it?" This is exactly what we do inside The Hormone Foundations Program. This is a six-month, one-on-one program where we: Run a DUTCH test at the beginning Create a fully personalized plan based on your results Adjust support as your body changes Address adrenal function, cortisol production, and clearance Re-test at the end so we can compare and confirm progress There is no cookie-cutter timeline. We focus on what your body needs, not what a generic schedule says you should work on. This is our most popular program for a reason. It gives you answers, a plan, and support every step of the way.

EPISODE SUMMARYThis episode was recorded during the roofing boom—when being busy hid bad numbers. Today, work is slower and margins are tighter. Dave explains why job costing is now the difference between surviving and disappearing, and why “gut feel” leaves contractors broke even even when they're busy.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONThis interview was recorded a few years ago when the roofing market was on fire. Phones were ringing, jobs were everywhere, and being busy hid a lot of sins.Today it's different.Jobs are harder to get. Margins are thinner. And the contractors who don't truly understand their numbers—what jobs actually make money, what crews are profitable, what their real labor cost is—those companies won't survive this market.I hear it every week:“Dave, we're working like crazy… but there's never any money in the bank.”That's not bad luck. That's no job costing.Successful contractors job cost every job. Unsuccessful ones run on gut feel—and in this market, gut feel will put you out of business.In this conversation, Dave Sullivan sits down with construction finance expert Leslie Shiner to break down the simple job costing system profitable roofers use to protect margins and make real decisions.You'll LearnWhy “gut feel” lies—and cash proves itThe real reason busy roofers still have no moneyHow to calculate true labor cost (labor burden)Paid hours vs billable hours = labor utilizationWhy labor overruns destroy profit faster than materialsHow estimate vs actual fixes bad pricingHow to see which crews and job types make moneyTwo KPIs every roofer must trackTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Why this matters now02:20 – Gut feel vs real profit06:20 – What job costing actually means10:15 – True labor cost & labor burden17:30 – Labor utilization explained24:15 – Estimate vs actual the right way30:25 – Fixing downtime & productivity36:40 – Sales to production handoff40:35 – KPIs that matter44:15 – Improving your systemRESOURCESShiner Group: https://www.shinergroup.comFree Labor Burden Calculator (on Leslie's site)LINKSWork with Dave / Mentoring: https://theroofercoach.com/mentoring/Free resources: https://theroofercoach.com/resources/Connect with Dave!Text Dave: (510) 612-1450Free Strategy CallWant to grow a more profitable roofing business?Book a free strategy call with Dave here → davesullivan.as.me/free-strategy-callFree ResourceDownload your FREE 1-Page Business Plan for Roofing Contractors → theroofercoach.com/planWatch on...

Most people try to fix their health by changing their workouts or diet—but never stop to look at what's happening in their mind. In this episode, we dive into how mental health directly impacts your physical health, energy, and consistency. We talk openly about men's mental health, the long-term impact of your relationship with your father, and the spiritual side of healing that often gets ignored. If you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this conversation might explain why—and where real change actually starts.►If you wan't to start your health journey in one of our gyms: https://www.nvfitt.com/gethealthy►If you wan't to work with Jason Tonn, LPC: https://www.newhopecounselinglv.com/KEY MOMENTS07:10 - The invisible load men carry.12:37 - Where are emotions stored?13:30 - What happens when you don't feel your feelings?19:49 - This is just what my father taught me.30:10 - The way you view your father is how you view your life.41:54 - How do I go about fixing this mind issue?50:05 - What brings you the most anxiety that doesn't like you at all?

After a disappointing 6-11 season and a third straight year without a playoff appearance, this offseason will be one of the most consequential in recent Bengals history. Cincinnati has chosen stability at the top — head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin will both return — meaning Tobin's roster construction decisions will be under intense scrutiny. Defensive talent acquisition will be the top priority. Tobin publicly stated the team needs a significant influx of talent on defense, especially in the pass rush, after struggling to generate pressure and close out games late in the season. He's highlighted this as a key reason the Bengals lost tight contests and failed to make the playoffs. Improving leadership on defense and overall toughness is another focus. Tobin emphasized needing players who can lead and execute consistently — something the unit lacked during the 2025 campaign — and may look for veterans in free agency and the draft to provide that. The offensive line and backup quarterback protection will likely be addressed to keep Burrow healthy; he missed time due to injury in 2025. Finally, resource allocation and scouting strategy could draw attention: Tobin said Cincinnati won't expand its historically small scouting department, which has faced criticism for its draft results, especially on defense.

It seems like a simple question, but aging can be complicated, especially when a loved one shows signs of dementia and/or physical decline. Can you provide the right support for your family member or friend, ensure their safety, and avoid costly or even dangerous missteps in their care? Can you manage the expectations and stress on you and others who likely do not have the time or expertise to provide suitable help?   Friend of the firm, Susan Wood, sits down with Jeffrey Bellomo to share her experience with the Life Care Planning Team at Bellomo & Associates. Together, they created and implemented a life care plan for Susan's neighbor and friend, whose dementia had progressed to the point that she could no longer safely remain in her home.   We learn how the people at Bellomo & Associates work in concert to find safe care options, preserve dignity, review facility contracts and financial agreements, advocate for proper medical care, and address the emotional strain that can come from moving out of your familiar, and often longtime, home.   Special shoutout to two members of our Life Care Planning Team, Meg Motter, LCSW, CDP, and Danielle Rhodes, MSW, LSW, CDP, who figure prominently in Susan's story.     WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Podcast introduction: Susan Wood  (02:28) Susan's professional background and the referral to Bellomo & Associates  (04:09) Adding life care planning services to Bellomo & Associates  (06:55) Providing an assessment, creating a plan, and making it work  (08:00) Why life planning at an elder law firm makes sense  (10:09) Moving into an unfamiliar space is fraught with emotion  (12:26) From meds to milkshakes   (14:20) Improving work life for nurses and the quality of patient care  (17:56) Retention and turnover in nursing  (20:00) Stress in health care workers   (22:28) Lend a helping hand to aging adults     ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

SHOW1-14-251671 Guests: Elizabeth Peek and John Batchelor. Batchelor and Peek discuss inflation holding firm at 2.7% in December. They evaluate falling gasoline prices and strong holiday retail performance as indicators of improving consumer sentiment. Peek also critiques a DOJ investigation into Jerome Powell, labeling it an "unforced error" that might inadvertently extend Powell's tenure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment addresses political dissent in Minnesota following a tragedy involving an ICE agent. Peek argues that liberal activists are nationalizing the incident to demonize law enforcement. She views this as partisan positioning for the midterms, intended as a weapon to be used against President Trump. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. Dempsey explains that the EU lacks a cohesive strategy for Irandespite a consensus on increasing sanctions. Regarding Ukraine, she highlights staggering divisions among European states as the U.S. withdraws military help. Dempsey notes a ceasefire remains unlikely because Russiacurrently has no interest in negotiations. Guests: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Matter. The discussion focuses on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's efforts to address immigration to counter the populist AfD party. Dempsey explores the nuances of refugee integration into the German workforce. Finally, she reports European "horror" at potential U.S. moves to annex Greenland, which could threaten the survival of NATO. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. China faces a "sluggish zombie economy" characterized by a burst property bubble and anemic consumption. Sternberg warns of "Japanification," where growth remains stagnant for decades. Beijingstruggles with price deflation, further burdening a heavily indebted economy. Meaningful recovery requires political reforms Xi Jinping resists.  Guest: Joseph Sternberg. President Trump is reportedly using an investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as a pretext to influence interest rate decisions. Sternberg notes that while central banks like the Bank of England strive for independence, they are increasingly politicized. Additionally, Western media outlets like the BBC initially faced criticism for slow coverage of Iranian massacre 7Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Intense protests in Iran, sparked by decades of mismanagement, have led to a violent crackdown by the regime. Schanzer highlights that these demonstrations are uniquely supported by President Trump's rhetoric. Reza Pahlavi has emerged as a potential figurehead for a transitional government or constitutional monarchy, as the population remains largely pro-Western.8 Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Syria's new central government remains extremely fragile, with authority barely extending beyond Damascus as factions clash in Aleppo. Schanzer describes a "Sunni jihadist regime" facing retribution from sectarian minorities. Meanwhile, regional tensions escalate as Israel and Iran reportedly narrowly avoided direct conflict, prompting Russia to evacuate its embassy. Guest: Dr. Brenda Shaffer. Iran is a multi-ethnic state where Persians constitute less than 40% of the population. Shaffer explains that while current protests are Persian-led, the regime's survival often depends on the participation of ethnic minorities like Azerbaijanis, Kurds, and Baluch. These groups frequently engage in direct retribution against security forces. Guest: General Blaine Holt (retired). Holt discusses potential U.S. intervention to support Iranian protesters, emphasizing strikes on command nodes rather than ground troops. While the U.S. maintains air superiority, putting special operators on the ground carries high risk. The Iranian people face a critical window of days to succeed before facing stunning reprisals. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Iranian protesters face a brutal regime that may utilize a "Samson Option," firing all missiles at Israel if the government falls. Weichert notes that while the Israelis and CIA have covert assets on the ground, the protest movement lacks a cohesive leader. Proposals for restoring the Pahlavi dynasty are criticized as an impractical solution. Guest: Brandon Weichert. Turmoil in Iran threatens China's energy security, as Beijing receives roughly 70-80% of Iranian oil. Weichert suggests Russia and China are using the crisis to test anti-Starlink technologies. Furthermore, the regime might import foreign terrorists to suppress domestic dissent, while the U.S. provides behind-the-scenes support to the movement. Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Irancould ignite Central Asian economic potential. Guest: Gregory Copley. Although the U.S. promises help, Copley warns that a ground invasion is physically difficult and historically unsuccessful. There are signs that Iranian police and some Revolutionary Guard units are refusing to fire on protesters. Ultimately, the Iranian people must take ownership of the revolution to ensure the legitimacy of any successor government. Guest: Gregory Copley. Following the arrest of Maduro, Venezuela is controlled by four competing "crime families." Copley notes the absence of a clear U.S. plan for citizens facing food and medical insecurity. The U.S.seeks to enforce an oil embargo against Cuba, which is currently suffering from infrastructure collapse and electric grid failures. Guest: Gregory Copley. Reza Pahlavi proposes a constitutional monarchy where the crown serves as a symbolic figurehead, similar to the British system. Copley highlights Pahlavi's unique name recognition and legitimacy as the former crown prince. However, air power alone cannot decisively change the situation on the ground, requiring covert support after the clerics collapse.

Ready to stop playing food detective and actually feel good, enjoying food again? If you're exhausted from cutting out every food under the sun and still dealing with food sensitivities, this episode is for you.

Mike Switzer interviews Gina Anderson, a learning scientist and CEO of Luma Brighter Learning in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

If you've ever wondered how your brain's inner workings play into your growth, relationships, or resilience—or if you want real, practical tips for building healthier self-talk—I think you'll find this episode especially meaningful.I'm joined by Dr. Hector Rodriguez, an integrative psychiatrist and founder of The White Butterfly Clinic. His work focuses on trauma-informed care, brain health, emotional intelligence, and helping individuals move from survival mode into clarity, resilience, and purpose. Dr. Hector integrates neuroscience, lifestyle psychiatry, and compassionate clinical insight to support healing at both the individual and relational level. He is especially passionate about working with high-performing, emotionally complex, and often marginalized individuals, and about changing how we understand and care for the human mind and soul.In this episode, Dr. Rodriguez and I talk about what your brain health can reveal about your emotional intelligence. We explore some powerful ideas, like the concept of the “inner bully” versus the “inner cheerleader” and how the way our brain is wired shapes our self-talk and beliefs.Dr. Rodriguez unpacks the science behind self-awareness and negativity bias, shares practical strategies for rewiring our thought patterns, and guides us through how both major traumas and smaller, everyday micro-traumas impact who we are.We also talk about the true roots of psychiatry—as the management of the soul—and why that perspective matters more than ever. Our conversation touches on everything from loneliness and connection to the role of technology in our lives and the essential human need for genuine bonds.Moments00:00 "Bully and Cheerleader Brain Concept"05:07 Silencing Your Inner Critic07:09 "Identifying and Addressing Negative Thoughts"10:45 Internal Bully vs. Cheerleader15:05 Reframing Mental Health Perspectives18:28 Openness to Soul Beyond Religion22:20 Emotional Block and Vulnerability24:39 Building Trust Over Time29:08 Overthinking Disrupts Sleep30:23 Nervous System's Hidden Impact36:36 "Urgent Help Needed for Injury"37:06 Avoiding Mental Health Attention41:55 "Life Isn't a Football Game"43:47 "The Connection Issue"49:56 Loneliness and OnlyFans Impact51:33 AI Companions and Mental Health54:44 "Insight on Family and Perception"59:09 Improving and Seeking Help01:00:32 "Dr. Hector's Info & Updates"3 Key Takeaways:You can retrain your brain: Through daily practices and conscious reframing, it's possible to move from automatic negative thoughts to self-supportive beliefs.Emotional intelligence is rooted in brain health: Being self-aware isn't just a soft skill—it's physically mapped in the brain, and can be strengthened like a muscle.True connection matters: Human bonding and authentic relationships are essential for mental and emotional health—no app or artificial substitute can replace the brain's need for real connection.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Connery describes the company's person‑centered, collaborative design approach, shaped by a founding story involving a family tragedy related to medication mismanagement. He also shares his personal journey from DSP to leadership roles across provider agencies and state services, highlighting the meaningful, community‑driven nature of the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) field.

Episode 3252: Dr. Neil explains why stubborn belly fat tends to accumulate with age and outlines five evidence-based strategies to manage it effectively, covering portion control, balanced exercise, sleep, stress management, and core training. He emphasizes consistency over perfection and debunks the myth that ab workouts alone can spot-reduce fat. Quotes to ponder: “Belly fat is particularly tricky to lose, for some reason, it's really stubborn.” “There is no magic pill or magic routine that will guarantee the loss of belly fat.” “Doing this alone will not lead to belly fat loss, what it will do is to help those muscles pop once the belly fat starts to shrink down.” Episode references: Bastyr University: https://bastyr.edu American College of Sports Medicine: https://www.acsm.org Learn more about your ad choices.

AI robots are taking over CES 2025 and we're not sure how to feel about it. Boston Dynamics Atlas is doing things with its body that no robot should be able to do.  NVIDIA's new autonomous vehicle platform Alpa Mayo is coming for Tesla FSD. And you can now buy a $100 AI-powered drone that will hunt down whatever you point it at. Cool cool cool. Plus, Google finally put Gemini in Gmail (we tested it so you don't have to), OpenAI is building a mysterious Johnny Ive audio device, and Claude Code with Opus 4.5 has coders losing their minds over something called Ralph Wiggum.

Episode 3252: Dr. Neil explains why stubborn belly fat tends to accumulate with age and outlines five evidence-based strategies to manage it effectively, covering portion control, balanced exercise, sleep, stress management, and core training. He emphasizes consistency over perfection and debunks the myth that ab workouts alone can spot-reduce fat. Quotes to ponder: “Belly fat is particularly tricky to lose, for some reason, it's really stubborn.” “There is no magic pill or magic routine that will guarantee the loss of belly fat.” “Doing this alone will not lead to belly fat loss, what it will do is to help those muscles pop once the belly fat starts to shrink down.” Episode references: Bastyr University: https://bastyr.edu American College of Sports Medicine: https://www.acsm.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Improving Healthcare Access and Quality Dr. Julie Wilson, a family physician in British Columbia, joined Michael to discuss her work in transforming healthcare workplaces. Her organization now manages 20 clinics and supports more than 100 healthcare providers across the province. Julie shared her motivation to expand access and improve the quality of care, especially as BC faces the dual challenge of an aging population and rapidly growing immigrant communities. She emphasized the essential role of primary care in offering trusted guidance and stability for patients. Michael noted that stronger healthcare systems support healthier communities, which ultimately strengthens economic productivity and quality of life. The Healthcare Worker Shortage Crisis Michael and Julie explored the global shortage of healthcare workers, particularly physicians, which is placing immense strain on clinics and care systems. They discussed how rising patient volumes without matching compensation or support lead to burnout, turnover, and reduced quality of care. Julie highlighted the importance of creating supportive environments where healthcare professionals can practice in ways that align with their strengths and patient needs, rather than being restricted by rigid schedules or outdated expectations. AI Integration in Clinical Workflow Michael spoke about the importance of meaningful clinician–patient relationships, especially for individuals living with chronic conditions or complex medical histories. He reflected on the growing administrative burden clinicians face due to charting demands and documentation requirements, which often distract from patient care and contribute to burnout. Michael expressed optimism that AI integration into electronic health records could reduce these tasks and give clinicians more time with patients. Benefits of AI in Healthcare Documentation Julie and Michael discussed how AI can transform healthcare documentation. They noted that AI tools can improve the completeness and accuracy of patient records, reduce the hours clinicians spend on charting, and support better follow up and communication. Michael highlighted the potential for AI to uncover meaningful patterns in patient data that can ultimately improve outcomes. Both agreed that reducing administrative friction will allow healthcare professionals to focus more fully on the practice of medicine. Autonomy and Support in Clinical Settings Julie shared her philosophy for running medical clinics, grounded in autonomy, trust, and respect. She emphasized the value of listening to staff, providing emotional and operational support, and fostering a positive work culture. Michael added a personal example of creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in one of his clinics, which aligned with Julie's approach. Together, they underscored that when employees feel heard and supported, they deliver better care and maintain higher levels of engagement.
