Trauma isn't just an event—it's a complex, living pattern woven through our bodies, minds, and relationships. What if the path to healing isn't about breaking down defenses or pushing past resistance, but about honoring those very protections as parts of our whole self?   Shai Lavie's journey illuminates this radical shift. As a Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing therapist, Shai learned that trauma work flourishes when we stop battling our clients' “barriers” and instead bring curiosity and compassion to every part of their experience—even the parts that resist change. Imagine your nervous system not as a malfunctioning engine to be fixed, but as a profound intelligence signaling what it needs to survive and adapt.   In practice, this means holding space for a client's “resistance”, listening deeply to these “barriers” with genuine inquiry: “What wisdom might be present here? What story is this body telling me?” Such an approach transforms therapy from a power struggle into a collaborative voyage, where client and therapist become co-captains rowing in harmony, not opposition.   This relational, respectful method aligns beautifully with the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) principles—where healing happens in connection, at the client's pace, and through mindful presence. It invites us all, as therapists and healers, to recalibrate our role: to cultivate safety not by conquering defenses, but by embracing them, fostering agency within the authentic self.   If you're a mental health professional eager to deepen your understanding of complex trauma and transform your therapeutic practice, we invite you to explore the upcoming NARM Therapist Trainings at the Complex Trauma Training Center. Join a community committed to growing both professionally and personally—where we learn that healing is not about fighting against our adaptive Self, but reconnecting with the resilient, compassionate, authentic Self.

This is the first time we've had a high schooler on the podcast! Maizie Koentopp, a 9th grader in Chicago, conducted a simple yet elegant experiment on buckwheat plants. Motivated by her father's urban farming work and her own concern about climate change, Maizie wanted to test the effect of endophytic bacteria on plant development as an alternative to harmful agrochemicals. She compared seeds inoculated with AEA's BioCoat Gold™ to a non-inoculated control, and found that inoculated seeds (in both sterilized and non-sterilized soil) grew faster, had higher survival rates, and developed more root hairs. If others in Maizie's generation share her curiosity, poise, and scientific rigor, then our future is in good hands."

In this episode, Josh and Bob dive into the uncomfortable but powerful role of intuition in leadership. Data-driven decision-making has become the default, but what happens when the data runs out—or worse, when it misleads you? Both share personal stories of times they ignored their gut and paid the price, and times when trusting that inner signal made all the difference.This isn't about rejecting data. It's about recognizing intuition as another form of input—one that leaders often suppress out of fear it won't “sound logical.” Josh and Bob challenge listeners to remember times they silenced their inner voice, reflect on the outcomes, and start treating gut instincts as signals worth listening to.If you've ever wrestled with the balance between logic and instinct, this episode will push you to rethink how you make decisions.

Host Radell Lewis breaks down the most explosive week in American politics, covering Trump's unprecedented government shutdown threats, military leadership purge, and international diplomatic chaos. This week's episode dives deep into the White House directing federal agencies to permanently fire workers during shutdowns, Defense Secretary Hegseth's mysterious gathering of hundreds of military leaders at Quantico, and Trump's combative UN General Assembly speech that labeled climate change "the greatest con job ever perpetrated." Radell analyzes the escalating free speech battles as Jimmy Kimmel faces FCC pressure over Charlie Kirk assassination comments, YouTube reverses content moderation policies, and the Pentagon implements new press restrictions that could end decades of independent military reporting. Plus, breaking coverage of the Supreme Court's move to dismantle independent agency protections, James Comey's shocking indictment, and the $2.5 billion Amazon FTC settlement. International tensions explode as France recognizes Palestinian statehood, the US vetoes another Gaza ceasefire resolution, and Denmark reports Russian hybrid drone attacks on NATO airbases. Immigration enforcement reaches new levels with Trump's $100,000 H-1B visa fee, Syrian TPS terminations, and California's ban on masked federal agents conducting raids. From the $14 billion TikTok deal involving Oracle and media moguls to Trump's controversial health policy promoting unproven autism-Tylenol links, this episode covers every major political development shaping America's future. Radell also examines the concerning pattern of political violence, including the Dallas ICE facility shooting and Ryan Routh's Trump assassination attempt conviction. Purple Political Breakdown delivers unbiased analysis for Americans seeking clarity in chaotic times. Whether you're red, blue, or purple, get the facts without the partisan spin.

 Tommy ROBINSON - Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 2)         The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0003 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it. Rights of Asylum Seekers (while claim is pending) Employment: Not normally allowed to work.  May apply for permission to work only if their claim has been outstanding for over 12 months through no fault of their own.  If granted, work is restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List. Financial Support: Eligible for Asylum Support (provided by the Home Office). Current rate: about £49.18 per person, per week (loaded onto an ASPEN debit card). Additional allowances may be given for pregnant women, babies, and young children. Housing: Provided with accommodation on a no-choice basis (can be shared housing or hostels, not chosen by the applicant). Must stay where the Home Office places them. Health Care: Entitled to use the NHS free of charge while their claim is being considered. Includes GP services, hospital care, and maternity care. Education: Children of asylum seekers have the right to attend state schools. Asylum seekers usually cannot access student loans for university. Rights of Recognised Refugees (once status is granted) ·    Employment: Full right to work in the UK. ·    Benefits: Full access to welfare benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, housing benefit, child benefit).  ·    Housing: Can apply for social housing and access homelessness assistance. ·    Health Care: Full NHS access on the same basis as UK citizens. ·    Education: Children can attend school; adults can access student finance for higher education. ·    Travel: May apply for a Refugee Travel Document to travel abroad (not valid for country of persecution).

A central tenet of the MAGA movement is the Trump administration's "America First" foreign-policy agenda. To fulfill this agenda, it has slashed foreign aid, launched a trade war with the United States' most reliable trading partners, and threatened to abandon NATO and our most trusted allies.  Informed by Trump's transactional approach to international relations, such actions flout the existing liberal world order, which has worked to promote democracy, human rights, free trade, and the freedom of movement since the end of World War II.  They also betray the very idea of a shared humanity, which is profoundly antithetical to Catholic Social Teaching. On this fourth, and final, episode of "The Counterweight," associate editor Griffin Oleynick speaks with Loyola Chicago's Miguel Diaz, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See under President Barack Obama, about the Trump administration's foreign policy, Diaz's experiences as a diplomat, and what the “America First” agenda means for the international community—and for the United States.  Diaz also discusses how Catholic Social Teaching can counter this agenda by championing foreign policies that recognize the existing liberal order, support human rights, and act in service of the common good.    For further reading:  Andrew J.

During the pandemic, she lost her income and spent time back on the farm, using nature's lens to question societal constructs like veganism. These experiences inspired her book, Debunked by Nature, where she shares her shift to truth-seeking based on natural cycles. She now lives on a Texas ranch, advocating for authentic living through storytelling. Mollie experiments with regenerative techniques on her Texas ranch, like mulching to combat oak wilt and bale grazing to boost soil health in caliche soils. She advocates for local food systems, resilient communities, and soil stewardship through her book and Epoch Times writings. She aims to inspire sustainable farming through her innovative practices, like propagating adapted trees and hedging crop plantings. In this episode, John and Mollie discuss: Shifting away from veganism and recognizing life-death cycles in food production. Building resilient communities through local food systems and family governance. Using deep mulching with juniper chips to reverse oak wilt in Texas' calcareous soils. Enhancing soil fertility through bale grazing, leveraging carbon to boost pasture growth. Adapting crop plantings, like late-season corn and sesame, to hedge against erratic weather and pests. Propagating locally adapted tree varieties to support regional farming success. Observing local ecosystems to inform management, avoiding blanket solutions for diverse soils.

In the early days of a startup, forecasting isn't about nailing the numbers, it's about setting the course. In this episode, the world's most interesting CFO describes the art of “Cowboy forecasting” and how this back-of-the-envelope model can be far more valuable than a complex simulation. Kevin Drost started his career as a musician and talent scout for Sony before becoming the chief strategy officer of the music gear marketplace Reverb. Now, as the CFO of New Era ADR, he explains how the company is disrupting the notoriously expensive legal industry by replacing the billable hour with flat fees, and making dispute resolution faster and more predictable for businesses. The conversation also covers why simplicity often beats complexity in financial modeling, how a hands-on understanding of the product and customer builds real financial confidence, and how finance teams can empower every employee to understand and drive the business.—LINKS:Kevin Drost on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindrostNew Era ADR: https://www.neweraadr.comCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Secrets to Scaling a Marketplace Business with Jack Greco, VC and Co-founder of ACV Auctions — —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:40) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(07:18) Kevin's Music Background & A&R at Sony(12:09) Record Labels Versus Venture Capital(17:01) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(20:53) Finding Motivation After Success(21:34) Building Reverb & the Etsy Acquisition(25:33) Stacking Skillsets & Interests(27:11) Cowboy Forecasting at Reverb(32:01) The Importance of Simplicity in Forecasting in the Early Stages(35:46) The Art and Science of Making Estimated Guesses(41:42) Building Firsthand Customer & Product Knowledge(45:36) Teaching Finance Across the Company(50:44) New Era ADR & Legal Industry Disruption(57:35) Legal Strategy Versus Financial Strategy(1:01:30) How New Era Gets Parties To Use the Platform(1:05:27) Other White Hot Use Cases for New Era ADR(1:09:25) The Long Ass Lightning Round: Kevin's Biggest Mistake(1:12:41) Advice to a Younger Self(1:14:01) Finance Software Stack(1:15:21) Life as an A&R Rep—SPONSORS:Aleph automates 90% of manual, error-prone busywork, so you can focus on the strategic work you were hired to do.

"Futility" It's true--the last time I saw Sandy Smallens was in the spring of 1989 when his band Too Much Joy came to the campus radio station to play on my weekly show. The band were incredibly cool and I've never forgotten that they took the time to traipse into the East Bay hills to get to my school and how nice they were. They even played an unrehearsed acoustic version of Clowns at my request, which was awesome. I'd play it for you now, but guess what? After the band left, I took out the tape and found that I hadn't hit record. It's bothered me for years. At any rate, Too Much Joy and Wonderlick which is Tim and Jay from TMJ, have a lot of news coming out their camp, so they do come up a bit in this chat, but really, the focus here is on Sandy's other band Surface Wound. Informed by the undulating jagged basslines of bands like Gang Of Four and Wire, Surface Wound's new album Futility is a riveting blast of post-punk magic. The Scarsdale-raised, Yale-educated Smallens played football in high school and as a result his bass playing has a real athleticism to it and not only that, but his voice has never sounded better. Filled with prowling basslines and muscular hooks, Futility is filled with fight songs for desperate times. Sandy Smallens is a busy guy--he's in a bunch of bands, he hosts the Four Strings And The Truth podcast and as the guy who launched Spotify's original content department, he now runs the podcast company Audiation. Not only that, but he's a massive supporter of the arts . And, he's one of the nicest guys around. www.surfacewound.bandcamp.com Sandy Smallens' podcast: Four Chords And The Truth Podcast: https://pod.link/1733284004 www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about menopause.     Women's health issues, from menstruation to menopause, have long been overlooked in workplaces, schools, even families. But, increasingly, those issues are coming to the fore. Women are finding their voices and speaking up about the things that impact them every single day. And finally people are paying attention.   Menopause has been hitting the headlines. Many organizations are starting to look more closely at the impact of menopause in the workplace, and what it really looks like to be a more supportive, inclusive employer.    But where do they start? Awareness, policies and procedures, workplace accommodations, health and wellbeing – there's a lot to consider.   Our guests will be shining a light on it today. They'll be exploring what menopause is and what it can look like for women, the stigma and negative connotations attached to menopause, and how organizations can better support women in the workplace.       IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.15] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO ·       Nadine – Creative Director and Founder of Mayana ·       Claudia – Retired Global Supply Chain Executive, DEI Champion and Community Activist   [07.08] The group discuss what menopause is, the common symptoms, and what it's really like for women as they navigate this transition.   “One billion women will be in menopause at this time. So it's a very lucrative opportunity, and it's also a very predatory environment.” Nadine    “It's a natural stage of life that most women experience between the ages of 44 and 55. And, given that women represent 40% of the workforce today – and growing! – its impact on the workplace is a really critical topic.” Claudia   ·       Stages of menopause (peri-menopause, post-menopause) ·       Psychological symptoms o   Mood changes o   Anxiety o   Lowered confidence o   Second-guessing o    Feeling a loss of control o   Rage o   Loss of patience ·       Physical symptoms o   Hot flashes o   Night sweats o   Joint pain o   Weight gain o   Sexual impact o   Lack of sleep ·       Cognitive symptoms o   Brian fog o   Inability to concentrate ·       Claudia's positive experience of training, awareness and education at IBM ·       Understanding the impact on women in the workplace ·       Identifying symptoms ·       Encouraging women to ask for help/speak up ·       Link to aging ·       Cultural differences in symptoms ·       How menopause impacts women's tolerance level for things they've been socially conditioned to quietly accept   ·       Empathy ·       Vulnerability ·       Public display of private health ·       Uncomfortable ·       Weaponization/reclaim of language   “It's a stage of life that's typically experienced in the latter stages, so it identifies as aging. I identified as getting older. So did that diminish my value to the organization, did they think I could still lead innovation when, suddenly, I'm an older member of the team?” Karin “Black women are the last to get diagnosed, they're the last to get help. And that's where we're seeing these big disparities. The menopause space was predominantly white-facing, and there was not a lot of information for racialized people, so the goal for us is to have that conversation. Because when we're serving everyone, everyone benefits.” Nadine “I started making jokes that I wasn't having hot flashes – I was having power surges! But, in making those jokes, it opened the floor to discussion.” Karin “To have something so personal and health related happen, it amplified that I was female in a room full of males. Not that I tried to dress like men, or act like men – but I never really tried to call out that I was female.” Karin     [36.06] The panel explore the negative connotations around menopause, the stigma of aging, and how we talk about menopause, to ourselves and to each other.     ·       Tackling stigma ·       Creating awareness ·       Open conversations ·       Education ·       Women leaving the workplace ·       Feeling of diminished value and vibrancy in the workplace ·       Shame ·       Women often internalize struggle/‘suffer in silence' ·       Interplay with personal life ·       Who's responsibility is it to change the conversation/challenge the stereotypes/tackle the stigma? ·       ERGs/women's groups ·       Systemic issue ·       Creating community ·       Safe spaces ·       HR   “I was a diversity and women's network leader for many years, and it wears you out… I would like to see more engagement with HR to help fuel some of these things to create awareness and reduce stigma. It can't all be on the women.” Claudia   [50.34] The group discuss the impact of menopause on women in the workplace, and how organizations can better support women to thrive, not just survive. ·       Clear and inclusive policies, processes and procedures ·       Confidentiality ·       Consideration of non-binary and trans people ·       Sick leave/menopause-related absence   ·       Manager training ·       Sensitivity ·       Informed conversations ·       Legal obligations/compliance ·       Identify appropriate accommodations ·       Access to resources ·       Health benefits  ·       Employee assistance programs ·       Menopause champions ·       Peer support groups   [58.04] The panel reflect on the different ways women can take control of their own health and wellbeing during menopause. ·       Advocacy ·       Try something different ·       Therapy ·       Alternative medicine ·       Medical referrals/recommendations ·       Keeping records ·       Taking control    ·       Assessing the symptoms that are having the biggest impact on quality of life ·       Keeping a symptom diary ·       Proactive approach to health    ·       Understanding triggers and managing responses  ·       Non-judgement   [01.03.58] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Karin, Nadine and Claudia over on LinkedIn.  

This week, join Conrad as he reconnects with his good friend George, the new owner of The Tackle Shop in Falmouth, Maine. In their engaging conversation, they dive into the impact of the striper fishery's status on George's business, emphasizing the vital role conservation plays in ensuring its longevity. They discuss how being a well-informed fisherman is key to effective conservation of our fisheries, noting that it's as much a responsibility of fishermen as it is for enforcement agencies to make information accessible. George shares insights on how diversifying fisheries not only benefits conservation efforts but also serves as an effective business strategy. The discussion also touches on George's past research on bonefish, highlighting how fishing can be a long-term research project where observation and being in the moment are key. Together, they explore their deep passion for fishing and the profound connections it fosters, making it a truly special experience to share with others. We hope that you enjoy this episode!   Takeaway: Have more of a conservation-minded outlook in whatever you do.   #striper #stripedbass #tackleshopmaine #bonefish   Get in touch with us!

Tommy ROBINSON -  Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0002 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it.

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, I'm joined by Dina Smith, licensed therapist, clinical director, certified Enneagram practitioner, and one of our Enneagram MBA visiting faculty members, to explore an important (and sometimes confusing) question:What's the difference between Enneagram coaching and Enneagram-informed therapy?Dina and I dig into:How they differ – Why therapy often looks at symptoms, diagnoses, and the past, while coaching focuses more on present-day growth and future goals.Practical examples – How Dina uses the Enneagram both in her therapy practice and as a leader of her team.Ethics and responsibility – The boundaries coaches and therapists need to keep in mind, and when it's time to refer out.The real benefits – How the Enneagram helps us create shared language, build faster connections, and uncover blind spots.Misconceptions – Including why the Enneagram isn't “just like astrology” and how to use it responsibly in professional settings.You'll also hear Dina share what it's like leading as a Type 3, including some of her blind spots, strengths, and how feedback from her team has helped her grow as a leader.Resources & LinksConnect with Dina on LinkedInFind Dina on Psychology TodayInterested in a typing session with Dina or having your team members clarify their types?

Send us a textEver wonder why some hearing healthcare professionals seem so passionate about advocacy while others shy away? Our conversation dives into the heart of building an advocacy culture that transforms not just legislation, but patient care itself.We explore the critical importance of starting advocacy education during AuD and SLP programs. As our guest, Dr. Megan Adams insightfully notes, "Informed students become informed professionals" who can make better clinical decisions and effectively advocate for patients throughout their careers. The good news? Universities don't need complete curriculum overhauls, even a few targeted class sessions can equip future professionals with the advocacy tools they'll need.Many clinicians and private practice owners hesitate to engage in advocacy because they don't see themselves as "political" or "persuasive" enough. We dispel this myth by revealing that most advocacy involves simply educating lawmakers about what audiologists do and why quality hearing care matters. Your expertise is your most powerful advocacy tool—no special personality required.The consequences of disengagement can be severe. We discuss alarming attempts in several states to replace professional licensure with simple registration systems, which threatens accountability and patient safety. Our guest shares a compelling case from Indiana where hearing aid sales were nearly completely deregulated until professionals rallied to educate legislators about the potential harm to patients.Perhaps most inspiring is the call to shift from defensive to offensive advocacy. Rather than constantly reacting to problematic legislation, proactive education of policymakers creates an environment where harmful bills are less likely to advance in the first place. When legislators understand hearing healthcare, they make better decisions.Whether you're a seasoned advocate or have never contacted a legislator, this conversation offers practical wisdom for making a difference. Listen now to discover how your voice—regardless of how loud you choose to be—can help shape the future of hearing healthcare.Connect with the Hearing Matters Podcast TeamEmail: hearingmatterspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @hearing_matters_podcast Twitter: @hearing_mattasFacebook: Hearing Matters Podcast

When it comes to performance, are women really that different from men—or are we overlooking the basics? And how can heart rate zones and energy systems training change the way we approach health, longevity, and athletic goals?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Blake Graham, chiropractor, sports medicine educator, and practitioner at Delta S Performance in Colorado. Blake's diverse background in sports medicine and holistic wellness has given him a unique perspective on how women train, recover, and perform.We explore:The similarities and differences in training women vs. men—and why access to strength and conditioning mattersHow menstrual cycle health can reveal deeper insights into performance, recovery, and overall well-beingWhere research still falls short on women's sports and physiologyWhy evidence-informed coaching (not rigidly “evidence-based”) allows for more individualized careHow heart rate zones and energy systems training support fat utilization, recovery, and long-term healthThe balance between intensity and recovery to avoid burnout and achieve sustainable resultsIf you're interested in women's performance, cycle health, or learning how to use heart rate training to optimize both fitness goals and longevity, this conversation will give you a practical, evidence-informed lens you can apply immediately.Connect with Dr. Blake GrahamInstagram: @drblakegrahamWebsite: deltasperformance.com

Summary In this conversation, Nick and Leah Wilson, J.D., and Dr. Kenneth Stoller discuss the ongoing lawsuit against the CDC regarding vaccine mandates and the implications for medical freedom. Dr. Stoller shares his journey from conventional pediatric practice to questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines, highlighting the lack of informed consent and the need for shared decision-making in vaccination. The discussion also touches on the historical context of vaccine policies, the influence of pharmaceutical companies on medical practice, and the future of vaccination in America.Nic takeaways Key Takeaways: Dr. Stoller lost his medical license for writing vaccine exemptions. The CDC's vaccine schedule has not been tested for cumulative effects. Informed consent is often not provided to parents regarding vaccines. Vaccine mandates should be shifted to shared decision-making between doctors and parents. The medical community often lacks knowledge about vaccine safety.

Brad McIntyre, a fourth-generation farmer in Caldwell, Idaho, has transformed his family's operation along the Snake River Basin, scaling back from 3,000 to 1,000 acres due to urbanization and rising costs. Inspired by no-till pioneers, he now manages a diverse farm with seed production, grass-finished beef, pastured pork, poultry, and eggs; all non-GMO. Brad advances regenerative agriculture through no-till farming, diverse rotations, and cover crops, maintaining yields while cutting inputs. He produces locally adapted, high-quality seeds with strong germination for companies like Green Cover Seed. His livestock integration enhances soil health, and direct-to-consumer meat sales promote community health and sustainability. In this episode, John and Brad discuss: Brad's shift from conventional hay work to regenerative farming No-till seed production for brassicas and alfalfa with better germination Epigenetic seed adaptations for local resilience Livestock integration for soil health and direct meat sales Direct-to-consumer marketing with consistent, local products The role of soil health in sustainable farming and stewardship Additional Resources To read Biochemical Individuality by Roger J.
