Podcasts about ingredients

Topics Discussed:

Dr. Rico's presentation was titled “Of cows and bugs: Using insects as alternative feeds in dairy cattle nutrition.” He gives an overview of his presentation, noting that while insects are not a major focus of US dairy nutrition, they are of interest in other parts of the world as a protein source to substitute for soybean or fish meal. (2:12)Dr. Dou's talk was “Alternative feed for livestock: Opportunities and challenges to support a circular food system.” She explains that a typical agriculture/food system is linear: take, make, and waste, which generates a lot of food residues. Her research aims to recover and recycle some of the food residues from other industries and evaluate their suitability for livestock feeding. (3:51)Dr. Pinotti's presentation was titled “Alternative foodstuffs in dairy ruminant nutrition: Basic concepts, recent issues, and future challenges.” His research focuses on using “former food” for livestock feeding and feeding insects not only as a protein source but also as a potential mineral source. (5:38)Dr. Pinotti talks about the challenges around variability in alternative feedstuffs. He goes on to describe some of the bakery byproducts he has used in research rations. He calls them fortified versions of cereal. They contain quite a lot of starch and also contain a lot of fat. These ingredients are ideal for young monogastric animals and also have utility in lactating dairy cow diets. The panel discusses the EU animal protein ban and whether similar restrictions exist for animal fats. (10:16)Dr. Rico notes that insects contain between 40 and 70% protein, depending on the type of insect. Crickets, mealworms, and black soldier fly larvae are the most popular. The fly larvae have a higher fat content compared to crickets and are a good energy source for monogastrics like pigs, chickens, or fish. Less is understood about the feeding value of insects in ruminant diets, and Dr. Rico's lab has been conducting experiments to help define this in dairy cattle. He notes the chitin content of insects is a unique challenge due to its indigestibility. It comes out in the NDF fraction in a nutrient analysis, but it is animal fiber, not plant fiber. (21:27)The panel talks about the scalability of insects as a protein source and confirms that the theory that insects are a cheap protein source is different from reality at this time. The group talks about small-scale insect projects at universities and in Africa. (27:17)Dr. Pinotti explains that insects are quite good at accumulating minerals, bad and good. His group conducted an experiment using sodium selenite as the substrate and the insects made selenocysteine and selenomethionine. Future research will include zinc as well as selenium in the substrate, and insects will be fed in an in vivo trial to verify bioavailability. He does not envision issues with chitin interfering with bioavailability since the insects incorporate the minerals into amino acids. (34:27)Dr. Rico talks about the amino acid and fatty acid profiles in insects. Essential amino acid content is relatively similar to other common protein sources. Insects contain higher levels of lauric and myristic acids than other common sources which could pose a challenge for lactation diets. He explains that there is a low-fat source of black soldier fly larvae with around 12% fat, compared to 30% in the full-fat version. The panel talks about variability in protein and fat content by insect type and the substrate the insects were grown on. (37:35)Dr. Dou describes some of her circular feed research using fresh cull fruit (kiwi, citrus, apples; delivered daily) blended into the TMR. Later, she also ensiled the fruit with dry hay in an effort to preserve the fruit before spoilage. Dr. Pinotti notes that he has used cull material from a salad plant as feed as well.  (44:31)Dr. Dou reports that one-third of food produced for human consumption never makes it to the human stomach. Globally, it's estimated that 1.6-1.9 billion tons of food are lost and wasted each year. The panel talks about the biggest challenges keeping us from using more former food products in livestock feeding. (50:54)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Why do powerful revivals begin with fire but fade within weeks?In this episode, Pastor Steve Gray reveals the real reason spiritual movements burn out. It is not emotion, worship style, or intensity. It is preparation.Drawing from decades of leading historic outpourings that lasted for years, Pastor Steve explains the forgotten principle behind lasting revival. Before Jesus began His ministry, John the Baptist prepared the way. The same pattern still applies today.If you want more than a temporary spark and desire a sustained move of God in your church, home, or personal life, this episode will show you where revival truly begins.Key Takeaways:Revival requires intentional preparation, similar to the preparatory role played by John the Baptist before Jesus' ministry.Sustainable revival demands a reordering of personal and communal priorities to focus on kingdom principles, leaving behind distractions.A lack of preparation is the main reason why many spiritual movements fizzle out after the initial excitement.Pastor Steve Gray's transformational experiences highlight the possibility of long-lasting revival through comprehensive prayer and readiness.Altering one's lifestyle is essential for embracing and maintaining a profound spiritual awakening.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm an IHP Level 1 and have been following you for over 2 years. I'm grateful for all you do. I'm a 61 year old male and take no medication. I've always had elevated cholesterol but it's come down a lot over the last 2 years. I now have LDL of 108. My CRP is in the normal range at 0.41. My homocysteine is also in the normal range at 8.9. My coronary calcium score from almost 3 years ago is 129. I want to make sure my heart stays healthy and want to be smart about what supplements to take apart from the foundational ones like the DNS and Omega 3. If I take all the supplements that promote a healthy heart, it gets a bit expensive and I was wondering if you thought about formulating one supplement to combine some of them. I'm currently taking D3+K2, Red Yeast Rice, Berberine and Inflamma Soothe, and I'm considering adding in Proteolytic Enzymes. What are your thoughts on which ones to prioritize?      Lily: Hi Doc, I am taking the foundational supplements and magnesium. I know that everyone is different and the personal approach is best (I just ordered your new book). But, if you had to say, beyond the foundational supplements, what are your next 4 favorite supplements?      Tommy: Hi Dr C, I'm An IHP 2. I've come a long way with my health and career thanks to you. I've had many issues in life similar to you. In the last 2 years I feel like I've become very prone to gut issues. I've done 2 para and 1 CBO in the last year. I seem to get bouts of dhiarrea like I've picked up a bacteria. I have wondered if my stomach acid is low, being an online presence is stressful, but I'm working on my stress more than ever. What else could cause me to have a 'weak stomHawkins: ach'? I still get anal itching too, sometimes during the day, I know you've mentioned this could also be histamines and not just parasites. I've had so much trauma, antibiotics, and 14 years of steroid creams. I've had low cortisol too which I believe is much better now.      Scott: Hi Stephen. (Scott UK) . My wife had a routine operation (9 operations in total) and ended up with stomach problems diagnosed with gastroparesis, well that's what they said, she ended up with a feeding tube and an ileostomy, in the last couple of years she's really turn thing around she's back to solid food and she hasn't fed on her feeding tube for 9 to 10 months now, she's gaining weight and looking really healthy, she's 53 and going through menopause, she's been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and trigger finger in both hands, and both thumbs are now stuck straight, she takes half of a scoop of DNS and greens powder, D3k2. magnesium, zinc, omega 3, infrared sauna, red light, 7000 steps, they want to operate on both hands,which I'd like to avoid, any suggestions would be very helpful.      Stephanie: Hi! I had a full work up done and it showed my prolactin level is 95. CRP also elevated, but everything else within range. I am willing to go see an endocrinologist, but I am hesistant to take the cabergoline (I've read that's likely how they will proceed). Is there anything else I can do? I started taking Vitex Berry when I got the results.      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3669 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, Darin sits down with Justin McMillen, founder of Tree House Recovery and architect of one of the most innovative addiction treatment models in the country. What begins as a conversation about Midwestern roots and fatherhood quickly expands into genetics, evolutionary biology, trauma, tribal bonding, and the future of American healthcare. Justin shares how addiction nearly ended his life — and how a miracle encounter with a former inmate sparked the creation of a radically different recovery model rooted in biology, psychology, and social bonding. From surf therapy to Seal-style team dynamics, Harvard collaborations to a federal endorsement from RFK Jr., this episode explores how addiction may not be weakness — but misdirected high performance. And the implications go far beyond sobriety. This conversation reframes how we think about chronic disease, mental health, tribal polarization, loneliness, and what it means to be necessary in modern society.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 – Welcome Justin McMillen: Midwest roots, swimming, and early athletic drive 00:03:07 – Modern abundance, gluttony, and why we're sicker than ever 00:07:11 – Darin's father, sobriety, relapse, and addiction as a symptom 00:12:12 – Justin's dark turning point: living in a garage and losing hope 00:14:21 – The prison miracle: how a former inmate sparked a recovery movement 00:17:03 – Buying the first houses and building community-based sober living 00:19:01 – Why traditional treatment fails: bio-psycho-social imbalance 00:22:10 – Creating a 28-dimension model of health and recovery 00:24:26 – Evolutionary biology and ancestral fitness as addiction medicine 00:26:08 – "Humans are built for bonding" — the social root of addiction 00:27:39 – The genetics of addiction: dopamine polymorphisms and dissatisfaction 00:30:22 – Harvard validation: Dr. John Ratey & Bessel van der Kolk collaboration 00:31:19 – The broken incentive structure in rehab and insurance 00:33:25 – Military partnerships and returning warfighters to operational fitness 00:35:00 – RFK Jr. endorsement and national recognition 00:35:50 – Behavioral health as the future of American medicine 00:39:41 – Peer interviews and tribal acceptance in recovery 00:41:54 – Surf therapy and Seal-inspired team bonding protocols 00:43:20 – The prefrontal cortex, limbic system, and strengthening resilience 00:45:48 – Why being "necessary" is biologically essential to survival 00:47:36 – Tribalism, politics, and our evolutionary need for opposition 00:50:28 – Loneliness in modern cities and the loss of 150-person tribes 00:53:25 – Rebuilding community: start with your neighborhood 00:58:19 – Algorithms, belief reinforcement, and digital tribalism 01:01:07 – Freedom, values, and America's founding psychological architecture     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

It may be misdirected high performance in the wrong environment. We are wired for bonding, movement, purpose, and tribe. When those disappear, something else will take their place. If we want to solve addiction, and chronic disease, we don't just treat symptoms. We rebuild the tribe.

It's just me this week and I'm talking through all of the latest skincare ingredients and what they do as I know a lot of us are a bit confused!This is mostly thanks to a brilliant piece published by Look Fantastic (I went to an event that they held yesterday and they gave everyone a little newspaper with loads of great info and stats) which inspired this episode.So if you want to know what peptides, collagen and PDRN can (and can't) do for your skin, you're in the right place.

In this investigative solo deep dive, Darin exposes the ongoing PFAS contamination crisis, the "forever chemicals" found in drinking water, clothing, carpets, cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and even firefighting foam. Sparked by a Frontline investigation into the carpet industry in Dalton, Georgia, this episode expands far beyond one region and reveals a global supply chain problem affecting nearly every American. This episode is urgent. With 99% of people showing measurable PFAS levels in their blood, this is not about fear. It's about sovereignty. It's about awareness. It's about eliminating silent accumulation and reclaiming control over your environment. This is not luxury health. This is foundational freedom.     In This Episode What PFAS are and why they're called "forever chemicals" The Dalton, Georgia carpet industry case and wastewater contamination Internal corporate knowledge from 3M and DuPont decades ago Why PFAS contamination is global, not regional Everyday exposure: waterproof clothing, yoga pants, school uniforms, outdoor gear Nonstick cookware and safer alternatives Microwave popcorn bags and grease-resistant packaging Cosmetics, mascara, and fluorinated compounds Firefighting foam contamination at airports and military bases Health impacts: immune suppression, thyroid disruption, cancer risk Why water filtration is your first line of defense Emerging detox strategies: fiber, blood donation, microbiome support The role of regulation rollbacks and corporate accountability Algae-based PFAS alternatives already entering the market     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife: sovereignty, health, and responsibility 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Truniagen NAD supplement 00:02:17 – Why this PFAS episode is urgent and investigative 00:03:07 – The Frontline documentary: Dalton, Georgia & carpet contamination 00:04:31 – What PFAS / PFOA actually do and why they were adopted 00:05:45 – "Miracle chemistry" without proper safety testing 00:06:07 – Persistence: PFAS do not break down in the environment 00:06:38 – Wastewater discharge & farmland contamination 00:07:50 – Dead livestock, contaminated groundwater & generational impact 00:08:23 – 3M, DuPont, internal documents & decades of corporate knowledge 00:08:52 – Long-chain vs short-chain PFAS replacements 00:09:20 – Clothing exposure: waterproof jackets, yoga pants, uniforms 00:10:24 – Cookware exposure & safer alternatives 00:10:57 – Cosmetics & Environmental Working Group resources 00:11:17 – Sponsor: Shakeology & seven layers of quality testing 00:13:03 – Lack of labeling transparency 00:13:20 – Firefighting foam & military base contamination 00:14:05 – Health risks: immune suppression, thyroid, cholesterol, cancer 00:14:35 – 99% of Americans have PFAS in their blood 00:15:01 – Erin Brockovich & environmental legal activism 00:15:33 – Personal action step #1: Reverse osmosis water filtration 00:16:04 – Testing well water & municipal pressure 00:16:28 – Personal action step #2: Eliminating household exposures 00:17:25 – Emerging research: oat beta glucan fiber 00:18:03 – Firefighter study: blood donation lowering PFAS levels 00:18:32 – Microbiome & mycelium detox research 00:18:56 – Moving beyond fear into empowered action 00:19:23 – Phasing out toxic clothing & upgrading environment gradually 00:20:15 – Stockholm Convention & global treaties 00:20:52 – EPA regulations & rollback frustrations 00:21:19 – Innovation outrunning safety 00:21:50 – Share this episode & create consumer pressure 00:22:28 – Clean water, clean soil, clean products as human rights 00:22:54 – Terem Labs & algae-based PFAS alternatives 00:23:27 – Building a safe home environment as first step 00:24:15 – Final call to action: demand transparency & push reform     Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Encourage everyone you know to switch to Catholic radio for Lent! Print out this sheet and pass it out to your fellow parishioners… ***** Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Rita Heikenfeld from About Eating to share meatless recipe ideas for Lent. Other guests include pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast on why Jesus is not a mere therapist, and Courtney Brown from Ruah Woods to share insights into the Theology of the Body. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** St. Jerome’s Prayer for God’s Mercy O Lord, show Your mercy to me and gladden my heart. I am like the man on the way to Jericho who was overtaken by robbers, wounded and left for dead. O Good Samaritan, come to my aid. I am like the sheep that went astray. O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with Your will. Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life and praise You for ever and ever with those who are there. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: FRIED FISH AND COLE SLAW FISH FRY FRIED FISH (Like they serve at Lenten fish fries) Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup milk – the proteins in milk help batter adhere and helps browning 1/2 cup very cold water – helps with crispiness 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt OR 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon or so of your favorite fish seasoning InstructionsWhisk flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt/seasonings together until smooth.Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy pan to 365 degrees.Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels to help ensure batter sticks – I do this on crumpled paper towels. Dip fish fillets into batter to coat and let excess drip off.Lower fillets, one at a time, into hot oil. Don’t crowd pan. Turn once, until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.Drain fried fish fillets on a wire rack over a paper-towel lined pan. (Don’t dry on paper towel alone – that creates steam). OLD FASHIONED COLE SLAW Ingredients 1 small cabbage shredded and chopped (about 6 cups) – can use red & green or equivalent bagged slaw mix 1 large carrot shredded 1 cup real mayonnaise 1/3 cup sugar 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Lemon juice to taste – not too much, a teaspoon or so Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Combine mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over cabbage and carrots. Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ***** Fr. Columba Jordan is online at ascensionpress.com.

This week's book is The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow, the story of three sisters in 1893: Juiper, Agnes and Beatrice who are hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote, they must use their magic, their wits and alliances to find a way to survive. This led to such an interesting conversation about feminism, sisterhood, science, and lots of magic with this week's guest: Angie Hilliker!Angie Hilliker (Ph.D.) is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Richmond where she teaches undergraduates about the amazing molecular machines in our cells. She also has a research lab where she works with these budding scientists to understand how our cells regulate mRNA, the molecular recipes cells use to make proteins. She is always curious about something, whether it's something in the lab, in a book, exploring a hobby (including playing the flute and making pottery), or exploring something with her husband and son. When she isn't reading science papers for work, she likes to read fantasy, historical fiction and romance novels.In this Episode James River WritersUniversity of RichmondThe Sackler FamilyThe Poe Museum - RichmondAlly McBealThe Wayward Sisters:Herbal, floral, lightly sweet, and aromatic — like walking through a moonlit herb garden.

Ingredients:2 oz Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice Gin (Represents the youngest, but the most intense sister, James Juniper)1 oz Bénédictine (made from 27 herbs, roots, etc.; a collaboration between a wine merchant and a chemist; represents the oldest sister Beatrice Belladonna, a scholar)1 tsp of chai tea simple syrup (represents the middle sister, Agnes Amaranth, hard worker, steady, sometimes maternal, like a bracing cup of tea)2 dashes of orange bitters (there is a lot of bitterness between the sisters, balances the sweetness of the simple syrup)Orange slice (so much better than lime… this is how G&T are often served in Scotland)Tonic waterInstructions:To make the simple syrup, heat 1 c. water, 1 c. sugar, and 6 chai tea bags over medium. Stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat and let cool. Remove tea bags and store syrup in the fridge.

Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Rita Heikenfeld to discuss recipes for Valentine’s Day and Fat Tuesday. Other guests include pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast on setting yourself up for a fruitful Lent, and Gary Michuta on what the Epistle of St. James has to say about treasure in heaven. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** St. Thomas More Prayer Give me thy grace, good Lord,Not to long to hear of any worldly things,But that the hearing of worldly fantasies may be to me displeasant.Gladly to be thinking of God,Piteously to call for his help.To lean unto the comfort of God,Busily to labour to love him.To know my own vility and wretchedness,To humble and meeken myself under the mighty hand of God,To bewail my sins passed.For the purging of them, patiently to suffer adversity. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: MUFFULETTA WITH OLIVE DRESSING Instructions One large loaf Italian bread, sliced into two horizontally.Vary meats and cheese to suit you. Filling: 1/2 pound each: thin sliced baked ham and provolone cheese1/4 pound thin sliced hard salamiThinly sliced tomatoesThinly sliced red or other onionsLeaf lettuce (opt) Dressing Go to taste on this. If you don’t like black olives, use Greek or green. You may wind up with dressing left over. It makes a nice spread for wraps. Ingredients Go to taste on this, tasting after it’s made.1/2 cup minced black olives2/3 cup olive oil1/3 cup red wine vinegar1-2 tablespoons minced onion1/2 cup fresh basil, finely chopped or 2 teaspoons dried1 teaspoon minced garlic1 teaspoon dried oreganoPepper to taste Instructions Whisk together dressing ingredients. (Can be made a day ahead). Set aside.Hollow out bottom loaf, leaving ½” thick sides.Hollow out top loaf, but leave sides a bit thicker.Spread dressing on inside of top and bottom loaves. Set top aside.Start layering meats, cheese, vegetables and lettuce, brushing each layer with dressing, until you run out of filling.Press each layer down really firm as you go.Press top onto sandwich, pressing down really firm, wrap and chill for 1 – 8 hours.Cut into big wedges to serve. Skewer with long toothpicks. Take the bite out of onions!Put slices in ice water for 20 minutes to several hours, then drain. ***** BONUS RECIPE: VALENTINE’S DAY SHORTBREAD COOKIE HEARTS Easily doubled. Makes up to 1-1/2 dozen, depending on size. Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature3/4 cup powdered sugar1 tablespoon vanilla2 cups flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/8 teaspoon salt Instructions Preheat oven to 350.Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.Add vanilla and beat until combined.Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt and add slowly to butter mixture. As soon as it’s mixed well, stop beating. Too much beating results in a tough cookie.Form dough into ball, put in plastic wrap and smoosh down to flatten. Makes rolling out easier.Refrigerate 1 hour or up to a few days to firm up.Roll out on lightly floured surface to 1/4” thick.Cut into desired shapes, re-rolling as necessary. (If you’re going to sprinkle with sugar, do it now and press down real gently to make it stick).Bake 14-17 minutes or just until edges start to turn light brown. Cookies will be a bit soft but will firm up nicely after cooling. Powdered sugar frosting with milk or water 2 cups powdered sugar3-4 tablespoons milk or water1/2 or so teaspoon vanillaFood coloring (optional) Instructions Whisk everything until you get right consistency.Add food coloring drop by drop.Extra can be stored in refrigerator and whisked at room temperature.Powdered sugar frosting with light corn syrup (more glossy and dries harder). Ingredients 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted, then measured2 tablespoons light corn syrup3-4 tablespoons milk3/4 teaspoon vanilla extractFood coloring (optional) Instructions Whisk everything until you get right consistency.Add food coloring drop by drop.Extra can be stored in refrigerator and whisked at room temperature. To frost cookies: After they cool, I like to dip the cookies face down in the icing. Carefully wiggle it around a bit so the whole top gets coated. Extra can be scraped off edges if necessary. Place on rack to dry. Or you can drizzle the icing on with a fork or whisk. It’s pretty that way too and allows some of the cookie to show on top.Let cookies sit until icing hardens completely before storing or stacking. ***** Sr. Allison Regina Gliot, author of The Light they Left Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we're talking about why so many of us feel constantly distracted, what new research is revealing about cancer-linked ingredients in everyday foods, and why fermented foods are one of the most evidence-backed habits worth building into real life. We break down why attention feels so hard to hold onto right now, how scrolling, sleep and alcohol quietly shape focus and memory, and what the science actually shows helps us reclaim concentration without cutting technology out altogether. We also unpack major new studies linking long-term exposure to certain food preservatives with increased cancer and type 2 diabetes risk, what this says about how our food system has changed, and the realistic food swaps that matter most. We close by looking at fermented foods, why aiming to include them weekly, or ideally daily, is strongly linked to better gut health, lower inflammation and overall wellbeing, and how to do it simply.

"You're bombarded with all these messages. Try to think of the one that means the most to you. Is it your kid's health? Is it your health? Is it the environment? Is it nutrition? What resonates with you, and helps you make a shift you feel good about?" The Dietary Guidelines for Americans shape how a nation eats, but the science, politics, and industry forces behind them are rarely discussed. In this can't-miss episode, renowned nutrition scientist Dr. Christopher Gardner, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and lead researcher of the Netflix Twin Experiment, pulls back the curtain on the latest update: how it was crafted, what's shifted, and where it diverges from the evidence. Dr. Gardner helps us separate fact from manipulation and noise, and offers practical, realistic takeaways for building a balanced, sustainable way of eating. What we discuss in this episode:  Dr. Gardner's experience working on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. What the dietary guidelines would look like if they strictly reflected current scientific evidence. The influence of the dairy and meat industries on the DGA. Ingredients and additives in processed foods that are designed to drive consumption. Tips for improving your diet. Research comparing Beyond Meat to pasture-raised organic red meat. How much vitamin B12 you actually need. Saturated fats in plant foods compared with saturated fats in animal products. The potential of diet to reverse harmful health patterns.

In dieser Folge erfährst du, warum Fintech-Startups die richtigen Investoren brauchen – und was passiert, wenn ihnen das Verständnis für das Geschäftsmodell fehlt. Miriam Wohlfarth erzählt, wie sie bei Banxware bewusst Investoren mit echter Fintech-Expertise ausgewählt hat, warum Debt und Equity in Fintech-Modellen untrennbar zusammenhängen und weshalb klassische VC-Logik hier nicht reicht. Was du lernst: Warum du Investoren brauchst, die dein Modell wirklich verstehen – und warum oberflächliches „challengen“ mehr schadet als hilft. Wieso Fintechs nicht nur Equity, sondern großvolumiges Debt raisen müssen – und wie Krisen diese Mechanik kippen können. Dass Wachstum ohne Kapitalbasis riskant ist – und warum es manchmal klüger ist, bewusst zu verlangsamen. Wie Investorenverhalten sich verändert, wenn Expertise fehlt – von Micromanagement bis fehlender strategischer Unterstützung. Wie Banxware funktioniert – und warum embedded Lending Banken aus Plattformen verdrängt.

We've got a new set of Dietary Guidelines, and as the industry has had some time to digest them, Natalie Rainer, partner and member of the Health Care and FDA practice at K&L Gates, offers her thoughts on how food and beverage processors can prepare. Rainer digs into some of the significant differences between this iteration of the guidelines and previous ones, as well as what hasn't changed in the overall tone of the document. Furthermore, Rainer is watching to see what the guidelines and supporting documentation indicate with regard to the future for some embattled ingredients that are currently recognized as safe or have clearance for use in U.S. food and beverage products.

Guest: Athena Kugblenu — comedian, author, commentator, and former Papercuts podcast regularAthena Kugblenu is a UK-based comedian and writer known for her sharp cultural commentary and her ability to use humor to explore power, media narratives, and social change. In this episode, Athena joins me for a serious AND funny conversation about how veganism is being covered in the news — and what gets lost when complex ideas are flattened into headlines.We talk about:Why declaring “veganism is over” is a lazy media story, Why the real barriers to eating more plants are poverty, time, kitchens, and access, Why the alternative to meat isn't fake meat — it's a completely different way of thinking about food.Along the way, Athena explains why comedy can work when arguments fail, how laughter creates shared reference points, and why humor can help people listen to ideas they might otherwise reject.In this episode, we cover:How veganism became a media narrative instead of a lived practiceWhy the press loves false binaries (“the future” vs. “over”)Veganism, capitalism, and the problem with fake meat“Ingredients households” and why cooking from scratch mattersPoverty and access as the biggest barriers to eating wellComedy as a tool for social changeWhy making people laugh helps them hear uncomfortable truthsWhy this conversation matters right nowAt a time when the news cycle thrives on outrage and oversimplification, this episode offers a steadier lens — one that rejects either/or thinking and makes space for nuance, compassion, and clarity.Notice where headlines try to “bait” you into a binary — about food, politics, identity or anything else.Listener challengeAsk yourself: What's missing from this story?

6:00 HOUR: Pistons-Hornets brawl, Can you separate the ingredients of Beef Stew?

Imagine sitting down at an event, ready to enjoy dessert… and realizing the kitchen can't tell you what's in it. Tracy is joined by internationally recognized vegan pastry chef, cookbook author, and culinary educator Fran Costigan to talk about what should be one of the easiest wins in event food and beverage: designing menus that respect both people and ingredients. Fran has spent decades teaching chefs—many of them in traditional kitchens—how to create plant-based desserts that are stunning, delicious, and practical to execute. And here's the truth she keeps proving: most kitchens already have what they need. What's missing is the mindset, the training, and the commitment to transparency. We dig into: •⁠  ⁠Why hotel and catering pastry teams still treat vegan (and dairy-free) desserts like a "special request" •⁠  ⁠How to build one great dessert for everyone instead of creating multiple "separate but sad" options •⁠  ⁠The real issues with hidden ingredients (hello, seasoning mixes with wheat flour) and why labeling matters •⁠  ⁠Smarter sweeteners and why "dairy-free" doesn't always mean safe •⁠  ⁠Practical swaps and techniques chefs can use right now—without reinventing their pantry •⁠  ⁠Why gluten-free isn't automatically "healthier," and what planners should understand when designing menus

Alright, so if you're a podcaster looking to snag more listeners and get them hooked on your back catalog, then buckle up, because we're diving into binge triggers straight outta the Netflix playbook. We're breaking down three juicy strategies that can keep your audience glued to their headphones, even after they've finished your latest episode. Plus, we've got a heartwarming “because of my podcast” story from Ray Arnott that'll make you believe in the magic of podcasting. So, if you're tired of people tuning in and then bouncing faster than a bad date, stick around. We're gonna make your podcast the one they're bingeing on next!1. Open Loops (Brain Gaps)What It Is:An open loop is an unresolved element in your content—a question, mystery, or ongoing storyline that the listener subconsciously wants resolved. This is a storytelling technique borrowed from TV and movies: cliffhangers, subplots, or even hints about future developments that drive people to keep watching (or listening) to find out what happens next.Examples from the Episode:uses TV examples like Will Trent and Tracker:"There's a problem at the beginning of the episode… and 50 minutes later, give or take, the problem is solved. … On occasion they'll do a two-parter with a cliffhanger." (01:39)In Will Trent, the ongoing subplot about the main character being disliked and saving a dog (an adaptation of the “save the cat” storytelling trope) gets the audience rooting for him, creating emotional investment through an open loop about his relationships and backstory."You have this underlying story that's going through the whole thing, and I believe that's why we are binging content." (13:11)In podcasts, an open loop could be as simple as starting a story in one episode and promising to finish it later, or introducing a mystery or a question (“Did James ever fix his solar panels?”) that's answered in a later episode.How To Use:Tease questions (“Next week, I'll reveal the results…”)Continue a personal story arc across episodesDangle small mysteries (“I opened the door and only saw one of the three things I was looking for…”) (Share journey updates that listeners want closure or progress on2. Teasers & Episode StructureWhat It Is:Tease content before and after episodes to contextualize your podcast for new and returning listeners. By referencing what was discussed in previous episodes and previewing what's coming next, you build a web of episodes that feel interconnected—just like "Next Episode" buttons on streaming platforms encourage more watching.Examples from the Episode:highlights Harry Duran's approach:"He introduces his show… 'If you missed last week's episode, we talked to so-and-so about such and such…' On today's show, we're talking with so-and-so. … At the end of the show… he knows what the next episode is. … You now have

In this deeply reflective and expansive conversation, Darin sits down with poet, speaker, and consciousness explorer Adam Roa for a raw dialogue on creativity, stillness, identity, and the courage it takes to live from integrity instead of performance. From viral art and the pressure of platforms to darkness retreats, emotional sovereignty, and redefining success, this episode explores what it really means to listen inwardly in a world addicted to noise. This is not a conversation about answers. It's a conversation about asking better questions and trusting the quiet moments where truth lives.     What You'll Learn in This Episode How art and creativity act as accelerators for human consciousness Why stepping back from visibility can be an act of integrity, not avoidance The emotional cost of constant output and public expectation What happens when identity dissolves and certainty disappears Why stillness, darkness, and solitude reveal what discipline cannot How to rebuild meaning when old belief systems fall apart The difference between inspired expression and performative sharing Why emotions are not obstacles — but the point of being human     Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and conscious living 01:00 – Sponsor break:

A few weeks ago, we posted a clip on Instagram of Jeremy reacting to a woman's explanation of her dad's unique discipline (which also included an incredible teaching on grace). It went pretty viral, being seen over half a million times on IG. Today, we're excited to bring it full circle by having Rachel Awtrey - the woman in the reel - on the podcast, to talk more about her father's wise discipline, fathering and mothering in general, and about her new book on finding joy, even in times of hardship and trial, to which she's no stranger. Listen in to hear why her dad's unique discipline actually worked, and how it's helped her in her own motherhood journey.

High-protein bars that are shockingly low in calories. Very-low-carb breads that actually taste pretty decent. Croissants with “fat inhibitors.” These foods are everywhere (and people love them) but the ingredients behind them are anything but straightforward. Molly teams up with food scientist Darryl Holliday, PhD, to explore what's behind three popular products and the surprising ingredients shaping their texture, flavor, and nutrition.

#294: If you have PCOS and feel like you're “doing everything right” but still struggling with hunger, cravings, or weight…this episode is for you. Women are often taught that their bodies are the problem, so when something doesn't work, we blame ourselves. But what if the issue isn't willpower… it's the formulation? In this episode, we break down what food labels don't tell you, and why PCOS women are especially vulnerable to certain “health” foods and marketing claims. We cover: - How foods are engineered for the bliss point and why PCOS appetite signaling makes this harder - The truth about “natural flavors” and how labels can sound clean without being supportive - Why “sugar-free” doesn't always mean blood-sugar-friendly for insulin-resistant bodies - How low-fat foods can worsen hunger and blood sugar swings (plus a real coaching call example with a simple fix) This isn't about restriction or cutting out everything you enjoy. It's about understanding why your body responds the way it does, so you can stop blaming yourself and start making choices that actually support PCOS hormones and metabolism.
