Two physicians, married. Two kids with ADHD. A year of unbilled income. Then she looked at her husband and said, "I'm depressed." He said, "So am I." That's where Dr. Ali Novitsky's stress framework started. Not in a clinic. At her kitchen table, in the middle of a crisis she hadn't seen coming. She's a neonatologist turned obesity medicine specialist turned life coach, and what she's built since that moment — a one-to-ten stress scale, six individual stress types, four family stress patterns — is the language she now teaches her clients to use on the thing most of us feel but can't name. I asked her to walk me through the whole framework on the podcast, including the part where she diagnosed me live on air. What we get into: The 1–10 stress scale and how to find your own symptoms in each zone (takes about a week of paying attention) The six individual stress types — assertive, control, catastrophizing, impulsivity, validation, isolation — what each one looks like regulated, and what each one looks like under pressure Why control-type isn't a flaw, why catastrophizers are the people you actually want on your team, and why isolation types are the leaders nobody sees The four family stress patterns and how one person walking into the room can flip the whole dynamic in seconds The ARC framework — Awareness, Regulation, Communication, Connection — and why you don't need your whole family on board to start How to teach kids this language without putting them through a quiz they can't take yet Mentioned on the show: Family Stress Type Quiz (free, 3 min) — thefitkidmethod.com Individual stress type quiz  Ali's pilot Family Reset program, starts June 22!

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the one food you've been told to avoid isn't always the problem, and when prepared the right way, could actually support your healing?In this episode, Dr. Katie Deming brings back Monica Corrado, a traditional foods educator, author, and ancestral nutrition expert to dig into what's actually true about dairy, cancer, and the gut.They break down the difference between the dairy you'll find on grocery store shelves and the kind traditional cultures prepared for centuries. They cover everything from Holstein cows versus traditional brown cows, to A1 versus A2 casein, to why raw milk dairies may be held to stricter safety standards than conventional pasteurized dairy.You'll also find out why some people feel sick after trying raw milk for the first time, and why that reaction may have more to do with drinking too much of a potent, microbially live food too quickly than with the milk itself.Chapters:00:06:08 - Why Modern Dairy Changed00:07:18 - The Problem With Store Dairy00:08:24 - The Dairy That May Heal00:09:12 - The Raw Milk Difference00:10:05 - How Culturing Removes Sugar00:11:18 - Why Raw Milk Scares People00:15:21 - How Milk Quality Got Lost00:18:11 - Drinking Dead Bacteria00:20:29 - A1 vs A2 Dairy00:24:19 - What Better Dairy Looks Like00:26:09 - Making Dairy Cancer Friendly00:30:08 - The IGF-1 Question00:36:10 - Why Kefir Is DifferentDr. Katie also shares what she's observing in her own practice about IGF-1 levels in patients who are eating long-cultured dairy, a question her fasting community has been asking about for a long time.By the end, you'll understand what kind of dairy may support your microbiome, why long culturing matters, and how Monica recommends making yogurt or kefir at home.Press play and learn how an ancient food you may have written off could become one of the most overlooked tools in your healing toolkit.Chef Monica's Books: https://simplybeingwell.com/2nd-ed-gaps-complete-bookJoin Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Tengo el honor de estar haciendo la maestría en terapia transpersonal con Marly Kuenerz, una mujer repleta de sabiduría y de energía vital. De ella he aprendido a confiar en mi mente, en lo que trae en imágenes, en lo que manfiesta en sueños. También he aprendido a observar mi cuerpo, sus reacciones, sus llamados, la forma como se siente en ciertos entornos y con ciertas personas. Quise invitarla al programa para compartir un poco de sus palabras.

Most clinic owners lose 40 to 60% of their patients in the first 8 weeks. The enthusiasm fades, the patient self-discharges, and the practice quietly bleeds revenue it already paid to acquire.Dr. Jay Greenstein knows the math better than almost anyone. In 2003, his practices were growing fast and he was still going broke, because he understood clinical care but not systems, process, or collections. That crisis sent him to Wharton's small business program, into Jack Welch's playbook and Six Sigma, and eventually to building EMBODI: a platform that uses behavioral science, gamification, and AI to turn patient follow-through into measurable outcomes and practice income.In this episode, Jeff pushes Jay past the pitch and into the operational reality. You get the data, the billing mechanics, the hiring lessons, and the version that failed before any of it worked.What You'll Learn:- The exact retention numbers from 7 independent practices and over 4,000 patients (40.48% more visits, 36.12% more revenue for EMBODI users versus non-users)- How EMBODI qualifies as software as a medical device and opens 6 Remote Therapeutic Monitoring billing codes most owners are leaving on the table- Why rising patient acquisition costs make lifetime value the only number that matters, and how to engineer it- The "first who, then what" hiring philosophy Jay learned the hard way, and the resume-first mistake that cost him for years- What Jay would do to rebuild from zero in 30 days using today's AI toolsIf you got value from today's show, you know the only fee we ask: hit share and send this to one clinic owner who needs it.Want to talk through your own growth bottleneck?

Canadians hear a lot of advice about credit scores, but much of it is outdated, oversimplified, or borrowed from the U.S. and simply doesn't apply here. Does carrying a balance help? Does checking your score hurt it? Can you pay to remove bad credit? Does having a high income automatically mean a strong score? Listen to learn what actually moves the needle when it comes to building stronger financial health, and if you've been trying to "optimize" your credit score, this episode may change how you think about credit entirely.

A cat jumps on the stove to get leftovers, accidentally turns a burner, and starts a kitchen fire. The homeowner has heard of an exclusion that applies to damage caused by animals owned or kept by an insured, and is concerned that the fire will not be covered. Exactly how mad should the homeowner be with their cat? (And how long can they stay mad at that face?) Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - A kitchen fire caused by a pet can initially alarm insureds who may believe the animal exclusion automatically bars coverage for any damage involving their cat or dog. [ 00:53 ] - The discussion highlights how insureds may hesitate to disclose that a pet caused the loss because they fear the claim will be denied under the policy language. [ 03:39 ] - Investigating unusual fire losses often requires origin-and-cause experts, especially when evidence suggests a stove burner was turned on without any appliance malfunction. [ 05:07 ] - The key distinction is that animal-caused property damage itself may be excluded, while the resulting fire can still qualify as a covered peril under the policy. [ 05:50 ] - Claims involving uncommon exclusions remind adjusters to carefully read the actual policy wording instead of relying on assumptions about what is or is not covered. [ 06:12 ] - Ordinary pet damage like chewing, scratching, or staining is different from a sudden accidental event such as a kitchen fire. [ 07:24 ] - Adjusters generally approach claims by looking for coverage where it exists. [ 08:45 ] - Animal exclusions are often intended to address ongoing maintenance-type damage rather than fortuitous accidental losses. [ 10:10 ] - While some courts have interpreted animal exclusions broadly, the cited cases involved extreme situations with dozens of pets causing extensive property damage. [ 11:54 ] - Maintaining good communication and rapport with insureds can help overcome misconceptions about coverage and encourage honest discussion during the investigation.

Employees and volunteers of public charities often participate in the political and democratic process in ways that connect to their organization's mission. While a 501(c)(3) cannot engage in partisan activity, individuals don't give up their First Amendment rights when they are staff, board members, or volunteers of a public charity. In our last episode, we talked about candidate appearances at charitable events. But what if the call is coming from inside the house? In this episode, we'll share some practical tips and best practices to help you engage in electoral work as an individual while keeping your organization safely within the rules to protect its tax-exempt status.   Attorneys for this episode  Victor Rivera  Quyen Tu  Sarah Efthymiou  Show notes  Basic rule: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. This rule also applies to anyone acting on an official capacity on behalf of the c3. This means that (c)(3) leaders, staff, and volunteers may not use the facilities, equipment, personnel, or other c3 resources to provide support to or oppose a candidate or campaign. However, this prohibition does not apply to the activities of officers, directors, or employees of 501(c)(3)s who are acting in their individual capacity.  Best Practices: Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Know when you're on the clock. 501(c)(3) staff may work on political campaigns outside of work hours, or while using their available leave time. However, time for which a charity compensates a staff member is also the charity's resource and should not be used for supporting or opposing candidates. Even unpaid time off could be problematic if permitted to staff outside of standard personnel policy limits and preferentially allow them to volunteer on some campaigns and not others.  Don't use c3 resources for political purposes. A charity should not allow its assets or facilities to be used for individuals' personal campaign work (including obvious resources like letterhead, photocopiers, and telephones, as well as perhaps less obvious ones like distribution lists, postal mailing permits, and email accounts). And, since 501(c)(3)-sponsored events use the organization's reputation and goodwill, 501(c)(3) representatives cannot support or oppose candidates at events.  Adopt an election-season policy. 501(c)(3) organizations should make staff aware, in writing, of policies against using organizational resources for supporting or opposing candidates.  Make clear what hat you're wearing. Individuals should make it clear that they are speaking for themselves and not for the organization when participating in partisan activities off the charity's clock.  Best Practices: 501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office  In addition to supporting candidates, individuals who work for or serve as board members for 501(c)(3) organizations may wish to run for office themselves. In those situations, it is important for the 501(c)(3) associated with the candidate to avoid supporting or opposing the candidacy, as well as avoid giving the appearance of supporting or opposing the candidacy.  Avoid allowing 501(c)(3) resources to be used for campaign activities, including facilities and staff time.   If mentioning candidacy, do so for informational purposes only.  Confirm whether government grants place any restrictions on staff running for office.   If using a 501(c)(3)'s social media accounts, be careful about liking or sharing content from the candidate's account/campaign.  Resources   Rules of the Game: Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s  Sample 501(c)(3) Organizational Policy for Election Season   501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office (Factsheet)  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s   Board Members and Election Year Activities)  The Hatch Act of 1939: Frequently Asked Questions  8 Tips For Nonprofits with Employees Running for Public Office    

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat would happen if you got quiet enough to finally hear the truth you've been carrying your whole life?Lauren Monusco arrived at her 10-day water fast on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Dr. Katie Deming and Lauren take you inside the real emotional journey of a prolonged fast, and it's probably not what you'd expect. She knew something was deeply misaligned, but she couldn't see what it was until she finally stopped long enough to look.She'd spent years pushing through the discomfort from a high-pressure career, managing the symptoms, and holding everything together on the outside. But the biggest breakthroughs didn't come during the fast itself. They came during refeeding, on the other side of boredom, discomfort, surrender, and ten days of genuine stillness.Chapters:00:04:18 - Everything Started Falling Apart00:05:32 - The Fast That Felt Aligned00:08:34 - Fear of What Would Surface00:11:48 - The Moment Surrender Changed Everything00:14:42 - Boredom, Discomfort, and Facing Yourself00:16:07 - Seeing Her Life From a Different Perspective00:17:10 - The Pattern She Could No Longer Ignore00:21:42 - The Fight That Changed Her Marriage00:25:20 - Releasing Years of Emotional Trauma00:27:18 - Finally Speaking Her Truth00:30:08 - The Lightness That Came After Letting Go00:37:22 - Discovering Her Authentic Self00:41:08 - What Healing Actually Looks LikeDr. Katie also explains what may be happening in the nervous system during prolonged fasting that can create space for this kind of clarity. Lauren's story is a powerful example of what becomes possible when you stop running from yourself and start getting honest, first with yourself, and then with the people you love most.Press play to hear Lauren share something she almost didn't say out loud, and it's the kind of honesty that reminds you what real healing actually looks like.Join Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Australia is one of 17 "megadiverse" countries that account for 70% of Earth's biodiversity. However, Australia is unique in having the highest mammalian extinction rate in the world. That makes conservation on the island continent, where most of the wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth, all the more urgent. Conservation and environmental scientists have come out against the Australian federal government's claim that it's "on track" to meet most of its targets under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework agreed upon at the U.N. biodiversity summit in 2022. This week on the Mongabay Newscast, Euan Ritchie, a professor of wildlife ecology and conservation at Australia's Deakin University, and a councilor with the Biodiversity Council, an academic alliance in the country, argues why conservationists say the Australian government is failing its commitments. "The short answer, unfortunately, is that Australia is doing terribly in terms of honoring its international obligations to meet those targets in the agreement. If we look at the number of threatened species in Australia, it's more than 2,200 now, and that list continues to increase," Ritchie says. Despite being a relatively wealthy nation by gross domestic product per capita, Australia funds conservation at a diminutive scale compared to other industrialized countries. The latest annual budget allocates 0.06% of federal spending to nature. Ritchie and some 60 fellow experts suggest that it would only take about 1% of the federal budget to save most threatened species and restore soils and rivers. In 2024, the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists published its findings, which took six years to complete. The Biodiversity Council has separately found that around 95% of Australians surveyed would support increased spending on the environment. "Essentially, the federal government is ignoring a majority of Australians by not doing that," Ritchie says. He argues the money to fund conservation already exists — or at least could easily exist by reducing subsidies for harmful industries (such as the fossil fuel industry), which currently amount to around A$26 billion ($19 billion) a year. Separately, a 25% tax on liquefied natural gas exports could generate A$17 billion ($12 billion) a year, a move nationwide polling suggests is supported by 70% of Australians. Despite the perceived strong public support, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ruled out a 25% tax on gas exports for the time being, which Ritchie says is very hard to understand, pointing to countries like Norway, which built its own sovereign wealth fund off similar measures. As of this writing, the Australian government has lost about A$70 billion ($50 billion) in revenue it could have collected had it taxed these resources, according to an online tracker by the Australia Institute, an independent think tank. "We could bring in tens of billions of dollars in additional revenue if we taxed the resources that we are giving away, essentially in many cases for free," Ritchie says. Instead of increasing direct conservation funding, the Australian government intends to close the gap by launching a "Nature Repair Market," a voluntary biodiversity offset scheme. It's essentially a way for industry and private investors to pay for the damage they cause. Research indicates this is unlikely to protect endangered wildlife and biodiversity without taxpayer funding. Other researchers from the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales have also weighed in, explaining that a biodiversity market is unlikely to work. Ritchie says this is problematic for a number of other reasons, ranging from the complexity of biodiversity itself, to the way the government intends to measure environmental impacts from various projects. Currently, the national environmental standards in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC) doesn't "account for cumulative impacts," Ritchie says. "So if you imagine that you're a threatened species and you're widely distributed … Individual projects are not being assessed in relation to other projects that may also impact on that same species," he says. "So it is literally death by a thousand cuts." Listen to a conversation on biodiversity offsets in Australia with Yung En Chee here.

"I love for people to come when the pipes leak instead of when they burst." — Vonda TiedelWhy do so many couples wait years before finally seeking help?What actually happens in the therapy room, and what is the therapist really doing?Are there situations where couples therapy can do more harm than good?Couples therapy is one of the most misunderstood tools in marriage. People assume it means something's broken, that the therapist will pick a side, or that it's too late. None of that is true.In this episode, Kenna sits down with two trusted colleagues and fellow licensed marriage and family therapists, Ben Baker and Vonda Tiede, for an honest, behind-the-curtain conversation about what couples therapy actually looks like, who it's for, and what gets in the way of people starting sooner.They cover the myths that keep couples stuck, the difference between a disagreement and a full-blown fight, what "containment" really means in the therapy room, and the specific situations where couples therapy is actually contraindicated. They also share the one thing they each wish every couple knew before they ever walked through the door.Whether you're considering couples therapy, currently in it, or just curious what happens in that room, this episode will give you real answers, not vague reassurances.Chapters(00:00) - "Your marriage is my client"(00:28) - Welcome and guest introductions(02:14) - Highs and Hards(08:25) - Why couples therapy feels so mysterious(09:35) - How Ben and Vonda chose marriage and family therapy(14:01) - Individual therapy vs. couples therapy(18:38) - Myths and misconceptions therapists want to dispel(33:56) - When to come and when to wait(52:18) - The one thing each therapist wishes every couple knew(58:03) - Challenge by choice(01:00:27) - Closing prayerLinks and Resources:Martin Center for Integration - https://martincenterforintegration.comVonda Tiede, LMFT - https://www.vondatiede.com/Related episodes with Ben Baker: Men and Mental Health, Men in Relationships, Triangulation - https://martincenterforintegration.com/show-notes-70Related episodes with Vonda Tiede: Marital Intimacy, What Happens in Individual Therapy - https://martincenterforintegration.com/show-notes-21Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Whole Men's Health    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Dr. B. Stephen Sanders, a board-certified family physician and founder of Whole Men's Health who built a nationwide men's performance medicine practice after nearly losing himself in the process.   In his late 30s, Dr. Sanders was 60 pounds overweight, drowning in brain fog and burnout, convinced his best days were behind him. He rebuilt himself from the ground up through hormone optimization, nutrition, and performance medicine, and now he's handing other men the exact playbook.    He breaks down America's sick care system, what's really driving the testosterone crash happening in men, and the truth about peptides and TRT that most doctors are too afraid to say out loud.   If your best days feel like they're behind you — they're not. This episode hands you the playbook.  

#717: Clare Flynn Levy was a hedge fund manager in London in the summer of 2007, watching her trading screens turn red — every single day. Merger arbitrage spreads were widening. Investors were pulling out. She didn't yet realize she was watching the early tremors of a global financial crisis. Clare joins us to talk about what that experience taught her about investor behavior, emotional bias, and the hidden forces that drive financial decisions. She now runs a firm that helps professional fund managers analyze their own decision-making patterns. Her core argument: most investors aren't making rational choices. They're rationalizing them. We get into two specific biases that cloud judgment — sunk cost fallacy and the endowment effect — and how they show up whether you're picking individual stocks or rebalancing a 529 plan. Clare shares a personal example. After the 2024 election, she moved her kids' college funds from equities into bonds, recorded her reasoning in her calendar, and came back nine months later to review it honestly. She was wrong. Equities kept climbing. But having a written thesis let her make a clean new decision rather than doubling down out of ego. We also walk through five investor archetypes drawn from behavioral research on fund managers. Connoisseurs let winners run. Raiders take profits too early. Rabbits freeze — or keep buying into a losing position. Hunters wait and take calculated shots. Assassins cut losses cleanly, without emotion. Most people default to rabbit behavior when things go south. The goal is to be an assassin. Clare's practical rule: don't let any single position drag your overall portfolio down more than 1 percent before forcing yourself to reassess. Her closing advice for long-term investors: ask yourself five simple questions before every major move, write down your reasoning, and go back and check.

Wildfire claims are emotional, public, and inconsistent across carriers, so adjusters often become the face of "no." Using a real fire example, we'll explore empathy, advance payments, uneven guidance, social media comparisons, and follow-through as tools to protect our reputation. Notable Timestamps [ 00:09 ] - Wildfire claims can be highly emotional and public, and adjusters often become the visible representative of difficult coverage decisions. [ 01:28 ] - PLRB recognizes Outstanding Claims Professionals not only for technical skill, but also for restoring lives and setting standards in customer service. [ 03:03 ] - Social media, neighborhood groups, and AI tools now shape insured expectations, creating more questions and adding complexity for adjusters. [ 05:16 ] - Policyholders often see claim differences as inconsistency where it may simply represent variation in policies, property details, and carrier practices. [ 06:54 ] - Adjusters build trust by explaining policies in everyday language instead of relying on technical wording or policy jargon. [ 09:29 ] - Starting conversations with what can be done, rather than limitations, helps reduce tension and discourages adversarial reactions. [ 10:28 ] - Advance payments and early support for housing and immediate needs can ease stress and strengthen the insured-adjuster relationship. [ 14:58 ] - Consistent communication matters; policyholders often prefer hearing "I don't have an answer yet" over silence or missed follow-ups. [ 16:48 ] - Listening for recurring concerns allows adjusters to anticipate needs, act proactively, and create more confidence in the claims process.

One press conference. Three significant developments. The Murdaugh defense team filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, accused the Attorney General of vindictive prosecution, and revealed evidence the prosecution may wish had stayed buried.The lawsuit against Becky Hill is a Section 1983 claim alleging she deprived Murdaugh of his right to a fair trial. The defense wants civil discovery to investigate what Hill did and whether she had accomplices. They highlighted the suspicious removal of juror Myra Crosby and sought over six hundred thousand dollars in damages — all directed to the receivership, not to Murdaugh personally.Harpootlian aimed squarely at Attorney General Alan Wilson. He accused Wilson of seeking the death penalty as retaliation for Murdaugh winning his appeal — the legal definition of vindictive prosecution. He asked what new evidence justifies the escalation when nothing about the case has changed. He accused the AG of consulting political advisors instead of career prosecutors.Then the retrial details. The defense does not expect a trial this year. Preparation includes reviewing eight thousand pages of transcript, retaining new experts, and scrubbing all discovery materials. They are pursuing a venue change constrained by demographic requirements that eliminate Richland and Charleston. Individual voir dire will make jury selection a long, difficult process.The evidence revelation that may matter most: unknown male DNA under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails was collected and never run through the CODIS database. The defense intends to use it. They also catalogued SLED's investigative failures — unprocessed tire tracks, overwritten GPS data, incomplete scene work.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke discuss every major development. No plea deal is on the table. The defense was unequivocal. They are going to trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three major developments from one press conference. A federal lawsuit against Becky Hill. An accusation that the Attorney General is playing politics with the death penalty. And DNA evidence the first jury never knew existed.The Section 1983 lawsuit targets Hill for depriving Murdaugh of his constitutional right to a fair trial. The defense is using it as an investigative vehicle — civil discovery to determine exactly what Hill did during the original trial and whether anyone assisted her. The complaint highlights the suspicious removal of the egg lady juror and seeks over six hundred thousand dollars in damages for the receivership.Harpootlian publicly challenged AG Alan Wilson on the death penalty decision, calling it vindictive prosecution. His argument: nothing about the evidence has changed since the first trial. The only thing that changed is that Murdaugh won his appeal. He accused Wilson of following political instincts over prosecutorial judgment and specifically cited the failure to investigate Hill's jury tampering.The retrial itself is going to be a massive undertaking the defense does not expect to complete this year. Eight thousand transcript pages. New experts. A discovery scrub. A venue change that has to match Colleton County demographics, ruling out Richland and Charleston. Individual voir dire for every potential juror.The evidence revelations were significant. Unknown male DNA beneath Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails was never run through CODIS. SLED's investigative gaps — tire tracks, GPS data, scene processing — all become retrial ammunition. Griffin shared that Murdaugh himself read the opinion and was emotional. The attorneys are working without new money.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke provide the complete analysis. No plea deal. No shortcuts. This case is going back to trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hurricane season is whirling to life in the northern hemisphere. The giant storms twirl across the ocean, developing deadly winds, rains, and storm surges. As they grow, they trace a familiar pattern – cloud bands spinning counter-clockwise around the central eye. That spin is a result of the Coriolis effect. It’s caused by a combination of Earth’s rotation and its shape. Because Earth is a sphere, locations on the equator move more than 24,000 miles in 24 hours. Locations off the equator move a much smaller distance in the same time. So, as a storm moves across the northern hemisphere, its southern edge moves faster than its northern edge. This causes the storm to rotate counter-clockwise. The Coriolis effect is much more pronounced on the giant worlds of the outer solar system – especially Jupiter. It’s the biggest planet, and it has the fastest rotation – one turn in less than 10 hours. That combination deflects what normally would be north-south winds into east-west winds. They can blow at hundreds of miles per hour. They separate Jupiter’s atmosphere into wide bands. Individual storms – some the size of continents or bigger – spin through the bands, or along their boundaries – monster storms spinning through alien skies. Jupiter stands to the upper left of the Moon this evening. It looks like a brilliant star. The twins of Gemini are above the Moon, and we’ll have more about them tomorrow.

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the next step after cancer surgery wasn't more treatment, but something different entirely?Dr. Katie Deming welcomes Merlin Hagan. After his prostate was removed, Merlin's doctors checked his PSA, a blood marker used to monitor prostate cancer activity. It should have dropped to undetectable levels.But it didn't. His PSA kept climbing, and doctors recommended radiation and hormone therapy next. Merlin wasn't ready for that, so he went looking for another option.PSA Prostate-Specific Antigen, a protein made by the prostate. Rising PSA levels may signal changes in the prostate, including inflammation, enlargement, or possible prostate cancer activity.He had never fasted before in his life, yet he committed to a 21-day water fast under medical supervision. What happened next surprised not just him, but his doctors too.Chapters:00:06:02 - PSA Still Rising00:06:47 - Finding the Fast00:08:01 - The Hardest Part of Fasting00:09:05 - Dealing with Food Cravings  00:11:00 - The Diet Shift Before Fasting00:13:26 - Relearning How to Eat00:16:41 - Eight Weeks After the Fast00:17:33 - The Unexpected Weight Loss00:18:26 - Blood Pressure Changes00:19:41 - Prostate Surgery Complication00:20:38 - The First Sign of Healing00:22:21 - The PSA Results00:24:54 - Hormone Therapy DecisionMerlin walks through the entire experience: the prep week, the difficult first few days, and the mental shift that carried him through the fast.

Does GABA Actually Help With Sleep? What the Research Says for Brain Injury Recovery Someone in our community recently asked me about GABA for sleep. They’d seen it recommended online, understood that sleep was critical for their recovery, and wanted to know whether the supplement was worth exploring or just noise. It’s a genuinely good question. And it deserves a proper answer. In this post, I’m going to walk you through what GABA is, what the clinical research actually shows about its effect on sleep, why the blood-brain barrier debate matters (and why it might not derail the whole argument), and what the evidence says about the relationship between sleep and brain recovery. By the end, you’ll have enough to have an informed conversation with your medical team. I’m not a doctor. I’m a three-time haemorrhagic stroke survivor who has spent years researching the science of brain recovery and interviewing hundreds of clinicians and survivors on the Recovery After Stroke podcast. What I offer is a careful read of the evidence, not a clinical prescription. What Is GABA and Why Does It Matter for Sleep? GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. If your nervous system were a car, GABA is the brake pedal. It reduces neuronal excitability, quiets cortical arousal, suppresses the brain’s primary arousal centre (the locus coeruleus), and modulates the HPA axis, the stress-response system that drives cortisol. Most sedative medications work by amplifying GABA activity. Benzodiazepines, for instance, bind to GABA-A receptors to increase chloride channel opening, producing their calming effect. GABA isn’t doing something unusual here – it’s doing something fundamental. The question with supplemental oral GABA is more specific: Does taking GABA as a capsule or powder actually produce meaningful neurological effects? What Does the Research Show? Finding 1 — Oral GABA Reduces Sleep Latency (and EEG Can Measure It) A 2015 clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology by Yamatsu and colleagues used EEG measurement, actual brainwave monitoring, rather than self-reported sleep questionnaires. One hundred milligrams of oral GABA shortened sleep latency (time to fall asleep) by 5.3 minutes compared to placebo. That might sound modest. But for someone lying awake for 30–40 minutes each night, it’s a meaningful shift. Crucially, this was objective neurophysiological data, not a survey response. (PMID: 26052150) Finding 2 — A 90-Day RCT Showed Improved Sleep Efficiency and Mood A 2024 randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements (Guimarães et al.) gave 200 mg of GABA daily for 90 days to sedentary overweight women also undergoing an exercise program. The GABA group showed significantly improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, significantly reduced depression scores, and improved heart rate variability, a marker of parasympathetic nervous system activity. The HRV finding is particularly interesting. It suggests GABA may be doing something broader than simply reducing sleep latency – it appears to support the overall physiological state that makes rest restorative. (PMID: 38321713) Finding 3 — But a High-Dose RCT Found No Effect Here’s where intellectual honesty matters. A 2023 Dutch RCT (de Bie et al.) published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition gave participants 500 mg of GABA three times daily, 1,500 mg/day total, and found no significant effect on self-reported sleep quality. Fasting plasma GABA wasn’t significantly elevated either, raising real bioavailability questions at that dose. This isn’t a reason to dismiss GABA entirely. It is a reason to pay attention to the dose. The evidence base supports 100–300 mg, not 1,500 mg. Higher is not better, and the non-linear dose response is clinically important. (PMID: 37495019) The Blood-Brain Barrier Debate — and Why the Gut May Be the Point The most common objection to oral GABA supplementation is this: GABA is a zwitterion at physiological pH, meaning it has low lipophilicity and poor predicted ability to cross the blood-brain barrier via passive diffusion. So if it can’t get into the brain directly, how does it produce neurological effects? The emerging explanation involves the gut-brain axis. The enteric nervous system, your gut’s own neural network, has GABA receptors. When oral GABA activates these enteric receptors, it can signal the brain via vagal afferents without needing to cross the BBB at all. Think of it as a side door rather than the front entrance. Supporting this: a 2024 RCT (Li et al.) found that a probiotic strain engineered to increase gut GABA production significantly improved objective sleep duration as measured by wearable devices, alongside reduced cortisol and suppressed HPA axis activity. The mechanism wasn’t direct CNS access – it was gut-brain signalling. (PMID: 39385735) The BBB debate doesn’t negate the clinical effect. It changes how we understand the mechanism. Why Sleep Is Not Optional in Brain Recovery This is the part that I think gets underweighted in recovery conversations — and the research is unambiguous. A 2026 large retrospective cohort study (Muhtar et al., Sleep Medicine) matched over 35,000 stroke patients and found that post-stroke insomnia was associated with a 29% higher risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment and a 30% higher risk of all-cause dementia. The association with Alzheimer’s disease was also significant. (PMID: 41924789) A 2024 observational study from Monash University and Alfred Health (Smith et al.) found that in stroke rehabilitation patients, poor sleep quality was significantly associated with higher fatigue severity and lower salivary BDNF gene expression. BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is one of the primary molecular drivers of neuroplasticity. Less BDNF means a less receptive environment for the neurological rewiring that rehab is trying to build. (PMID: 38802847) And then there’s the glymphatic system: the brain’s waste-clearance mechanism that is most active during deep sleep. Poor sleep means reduced clearance of metabolic byproducts, including proteins associated with neurodegeneration. This is not a theoretical risk. It is an active, ongoing process. Sleep is not passive recovery. It is one of the primary mechanisms of recovery. What to Do With This Information Here are three practical steps if you’re exploring GABA for sleep: 1. Measure your sleep baseline first. Use the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (freely available online) before you make any changes. Understanding whether you’re struggling with latency, duration, or quality will determine what you actually need to address. 2. If you trial GABA, choose the right form and dose. Look for PharmaGABA — naturally fermented GABA, derived from Lactobacillus hilgardii, which has the strongest clinical evidence base. A dose of 100–300 mg taken 30–60 minutes before bed is consistent with the positive studies. Avoid very high doses; the null result at 1,500 mg/day is important context. Important drug interaction note: If you are taking benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin, valproate), or any other GABAergic medication, discuss GABA supplementation with your prescriber before adding it. The additive sedative effect is a real risk. The same applies if you drink alcohol regularly. 3. Don’t skip the foundation. Sleep hygiene interventions, consistent sleep and wake times, a dark and cool room, and no screens in the 60 minutes before bed, are consistently among the highest-leverage sleep interventions in the literature. GABA may provide a genuine incremental benefit. But it cannot compensate for a fundamentally disrupted sleep environment. The Bottom Line The evidence for GABA and sleep is more substantive than I expected when I started researching it. The EEG data is real. The 90-day RCT showed meaningful clinical outcomes. The gut-brain axis mechanism is biologically plausible and now has direct RCT support. And the consequences of poor sleep in neurological recovery are not trivial – they are quantifiable, significant, and, to a degree, addressable. GABA is not a guaranteed fix. Individual responses vary. The research is not yet definitive at the level of large multi-centre trials in neurological populations. But as one tool in a comprehensive approach to sleep quality alongside good sleep hygiene, appropriate medical support, and consistent rehabilitation, the case for cautious exploration is reasonable. The next step is a conversation with your neurologist, GP, or rehab physician. Take the research with you if it’s useful.

Most real estate agents spend their entire careers on the transaction treadmill — close a deal, get paid, stop closing, stop earning. Tim and Julie Harris built passive income the hard way, through rental properties and years of sacrifice, and they're telling you there is a faster path. In this episode, Tim and Julie hold nothing back. They share their personal journey from being deliberately broker-agnostic for over a decade, to attending an anonymous EXP event in San Antonio that changed their financial worldview entirely, to joining eXp in January 2019 and sponsoring 43 agents in their first month. This is not a sales pitch. This is two of the most experienced coaches in the real estate industry walking you through the exact math, the exact decision-making process, and the exact model that is helping agents build real, inheritable passive income faster than any traditional vehicle. What you will learn in this episode: how eXp revenue share is paid from gross revenue before expenses — making it structurally different and more reliable than traditional profit-share models; why you do not need to be a recruiter to benefit from revenue share; how Tim and Julie's Libertas group provides over $40,000 in agent benefits and a platform that recruits on your behalf; how to build a personal revenue share ladder that covers your monthly overhead expense by expense; why your brand and team identity remain fully intact at eXp; and why inheritable revenue share makes eXp a legitimate legacy and exit strategy for veteran agents. If you have been curious about eXp, or if you have been dismissing it without doing the math, this episode will challenge you to look at your brokerage decision differently.

She breaks down why parasites and heavy metals are the real root of most chronic disease, why biblical dietary laws have hard science behind them, how fabric frequencies directly impact hormone and testosterone levels, and how her company has already helped people reverse stage four cancer.   Seven years later, she's 40, feels 16, and runs a company that's doing what trillions in cancer research hasn't. This episode is worth your full attention.  

1. Scope of Fraud The testimony describes large‑scale, systemic fraud within Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). Individual childcare centers allegedly billed hundreds of thousands to over $1 million annually, often with no real children present. 2. Organized and Long‑Running Scheme Fraud was not isolated or accidental; it showed characteristics of a loosely organized criminal enterprise operating for years (at least 2014–2019). Some perpetrators reportedly learned about the scheme before arriving in the U.S., indicating cross‑border knowledge of vulnerabilities in the system. 3. Common Fraud Methods Billing for nonexistent children and extended hours (e.g., multiple shifts, 7 days a week). Operating “paper” childcare centers that closed immediately once payments were stopped. Kickback arrangements involving parents, co‑owners, or employees. Reusing addresses and reopening under new business names after enforcement actions. 4. Evidence Gathered by Investigators Physical surveillance showed centers operating without children or staff. Electronic evidence (texts, phones, computers) revealed admissions of fraud and intent to profit. Investigations led to multiple felony convictions, including at least one federal case with prison time and restitution exceeding $1 million. 5. Overwhelming Volume of Fraud Investigators received so many credible tips that they had to prioritize only the highest‑dollar cases. Centers billing less than ~$700,000 often could not be addressed due to limited resources. 6. Internal Resistance and Obstruction According to the whistleblower, senior DHS officials discouraged, undermined, or obstructed investigations once fraud became large and visible. Actions alleged include: Attempts to alter or suppress information sent to the Legislative Auditor Harassment and intimidation of investigators Organizational changes that reduced investigators’ authority Procedural delays that significantly reduced investigative capacity 7. Retaliation Against Whistleblowers Investigators who pushed fraud cases reportedly faced: Threats and bullying Negative performance actions Loss of decision‑making power The whistleblower ultimately resigned, stating he would not be complicit. 8. Failure of Oversight The testimony suggests institutional tolerance of fraud, contrasting sharply with standards enforced in law enforcement agencies. The whistleblower emphasizes that minor theft would not have been tolerated in his prior roles, while millions in losses were allowed to continue at DHS. 9. Federal Intervention Federal agencies (FBI, IRS‑CI, HHS‑OIG) eventually became involved due to the scale and nature of suspected crimes. Raids, indictments, and convictions occurred after years of state‑level warnings. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
