In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with transformational coach and author Danny Morel, a man who walked away from a billion-dollar real estate empire in pursuit of truth. What begins as a conversation about spirituality quickly turns into a raw exploration of trauma, identity, plant medicine, and the courage it takes to truly face yourself. Danny shares how the death of his mother shattered the illusion of external success and forced him into a radical journey inward, one that ultimately reshaped his entire life. Together, Darin and Danny explore the nature of the ego, the healing of parental wounds, the role of plant medicine, and why the answers we seek are not out in the world, but within us.     What You'll Learn Why Danny Morel walked away from massive financial success to pursue truth and self-discovery How unresolved relationships with our parents shape our identity, beliefs, and emotional patterns Why many spiritual teachings mistakenly frame the ego as something to destroy rather than understand The powerful connection between childhood emotional wounds and adult behavior Why plant medicines like ayahuasca, mushrooms, and cannabis can act as mirrors for inner healing How breathwork can create profound spiritual experiences without psychedelics Why nature and reconnecting with the land are essential for human healing How modern society conditions us to seek validation externally instead of trusting our inner wisdom The difference between success, validation, and true fulfillment Why awakening begins when we have the courage to face our deepest fears     Chapters 00:00:00 – Introduction to SuperLife and the mission of building a healthier, more conscious world 00:00:32 – Sponsor message: non-toxic cookware and reducing toxic exposure in everyday life 00:02:50 – Introducing Danny Morel: leaving a billion-dollar real estate empire to pursue truth 00:04:20 – Darin's spiritual awakening experiences and Native American ceremony in Boulder 00:06:16 – The wisdom of going inward instead of constantly seeking answers outside ourselves 00:08:13 – Truth vs belief: why genuine truth requires direct experience 00:09:16 – Danny recounts the moment his mother died and the existential questions it triggered 00:11:06 – Losing a parent and the strange way connection can deepen after death 00:12:00 – A powerful visualization exercise to heal your relationship with your parents 00:13:46 – Darin shares his own plant medicine journey and confronting deep physical pain 00:17:14 – The struggle with ego during psychedelic experiences 00:20:24 – Childhood emotional wounds and how they shape identity 00:22:40 – The connection between self-worth and the relationship with your mother 00:24:22 – Reframing the ego: seeing it as the "small self" instead of an enemy 00:25:02 – Sponsor break: cellular health and the science behind Fatty15 00:28:12 – The deeper spiritual journey of understanding the wounded inner child 00:30:01 – Why healing begins when we allow uncomfortable emotions to surface 00:31:10 – Danny invites Darin to his Awaken event and discusses transformational retreats 00:32:01 – The illusion of success: wealth, status, and social validation 00:33:54 – The question that changed Danny's life: "Are you actually happy?" 00:35:01 – Why many successful people are deeply wounded internally 00:36:11 – Facing fears, shame, and guilt in order to reclaim your authentic self 00:37:38 – Danny shares a profound ayahuasca ceremony experience 00:38:22 – Being forced to sit with yourself instead of escaping your inner pain 00:41:02 – The courage required to face your deepest fears 00:42:16 – Why taking the medicine when you don't want to is often the breakthrough moment 00:44:22 – The importance of proper guidance when working with plant medicine 00:45:45 – What to do if you don't have access to plant medicine ceremonies 00:47:07 – Practical starting points for self-healing 00:49:21 – Reconnecting with nature and grounding with the earth 00:51:11 – Releasing emotional baggage through grounding and energetic awareness 00:51:41 – The truth about meditation and why many people struggle with it 00:53:01 – Breathwork as a powerful portal to spiritual awakening 00:54:02 – Breath as the direct connection to life and consciousness 00:55:18 – Darin shares his own powerful breathwork experiences 00:56:48 – The intention behind Danny's book and guiding people inward 00:57:27 – Using cannabis intentionally for emotional and psychological insight 00:59:17 – Shadow work and early experiences with intentional cannabis use 01:01:21 – Questioning social conditioning around spirituality and plant medicine 01:02:20 – The deeper purpose of plant medicine in healing the psyche 01:03:46 – The hierarchy of plant medicines: cannabis, mushrooms, and ayahuasca 01:06:17 – Building a life dedicated to inner discovery and emotional truth 01:07:15 – The idea that the world mirrors our internal state 01:08:08 – How inner healing can dissolve division, conflict, and separation 01:09:44 – Darin shares his vision of creating a "SuperLife" for humanity 01:11:10 – Closing reflections and where to find Danny Morel's work     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

When we finally stop chasing validation, success, and approval outside of ourselves, and we turn inward to face the pain, the fear, and the truth we've been avoiding, that's when life begins to change. The more we heal our relationship with ourselves, the more the world around us transforms, because awakening isn't about fixing the world out there… it's about finally discovering who we really are in here.

What happens when your opinions, routines, and “rules” in the beauty industry start to evolve?In this episode of Browducation, Megs welcomes esthetician Molly Markland of @skin_by_mollym back for Part Two of their conversation and the final episode of Season 3 to talk about skin barrier health, skincare trends, and growing as a beauty professional. Together they dive deeper into skincare misinformation, business boundaries, and the lessons that only come from years of experience in the treatment room.Molly shares subtle signs of a compromised skin barrier that artists often miss, why viral skincare trends can quietly damage clients' skin, and how professionals can navigate contraindications while still maintaining strong client relationships.This conversation also explores how opinions naturally evolve over time in the beauty industry — from changing product philosophies to rethinking rigid policies and learning to trust your own professional judgment.Quick note: Unfortunately, just like in Part One, we experienced a bit of technical difficulty during the final 10 minutes of the episode, so the conversation had to be cut slightly short — but the insights shared throughout are still packed with valuable takeaways for artists and beauty professionals.✨ We Cover:

We often hear about powerful skincare ingredients like Retinol, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid but what many people don't realise is that the ingredient itself is only part of the story. In this episode we're e're talking about something that can completely change how you understand skincare: formulation Two products can content the same ingredient and deliver completely different results. Why? Because how ingredients are combined, stabilised and delivered into the skin matters just as much as the ingredient itself.In the episode, we discuss:​What a skincare formulation actually is​Why ingredients alone don't guarantee results ​Why some products irritate the skin while others support it​How formulations affects ingredient stability and penetration​Why good skincare supports the skin barrier rather than overwhelming itUnderstanding formulation helps you choose skincare more intelligently rather than just chasing trending ingredients.Because great skincare isn't just about what's in the bottle…… it's about how it designed to work with your skin

The sermon centers on the transformative power of prayer as the essential ingredient missing from many modern churches, arguing that a genuine praying culture—marked by turning to God first in every circumstance, walking together in intercession, and believing in God's active involvement—can ignite spiritual revival. Drawing from James 5, it contrasts routine religious rituals with fervent, faith-filled prayer that moves God, using examples from Scripture like Elijah's intercession and the early church's prayer meetings to illustrate how prayer is not a last resort but the very foundation of spiritual power. Prayer is not merely a personal discipline but a communal, corporate act that aligns hearts with God's will, fosters dependence on Him, and enables miraculous breakthroughs, urging the congregation to prioritize prayer in their homes, ministries, and church life as the key to lasting spiritual growth and divine movement.

This hidden ingredient in junk food is quietly destroying your health. Uncover the harmful food additives and food industry secrets that leave you sick, yet still hungry for more. Learn how these hidden junk food ingredients sabotage your gut health and how you can avoid them starting today.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07This dangerous ingredient in junk food acts as a detergent in your gut. This toxic food additive destroys the protective layer that lines your digestive tract, similar to the way dish soap removes grease from a pan. Once this protective layer is gone, you can develop a leaky gut, allowing toxic food additives, bacteria, and partially digested food into your bloodstream.Harmful food additives are often hiding in ice cream, chocolate, salad dressing, plant-based milk, bread, peanut butter, coffee creamer, mayo, baby formula, and the list goes on! This toxic ingredient is found in 60% of all packaged foods, and goes by names like polysorbate 80, carboxymethylcellulose, and carrageenan. These hidden ingredients in junk food are called emulsifiers. Emulsifiers force oil and water to mix so that the processed food appears smoother or creamy in texture and has a longer shelf life. There is a thick layer of mucus that coats the inside of the intestines, which acts as a built-in protective mechanism for your gut. Emulsifiers dissolve this protective layer over time, allowing bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Your immune system tags them as pathogens, causing an immune reaction and chronic gut inflammation. Gut health directly affects your cognitive function. If you have gut inflammation, you might experience brain fog, sluggishness, and the inability to think clearly after eating. In animal studies, polysorbate 80 caused metabolic syndrome, weight gain, blood sugar problems, and altered gut bacteria. Although no long-term human studies have been published, a human trial published in 2024 found that participants had altered gut microbiomes after just 2 weeks of eating emulsifiers. In the US, food additives can be self-classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Junk food companies do not have to submit long-term human trials to the FDA. The easy solution to this problem is to avoid ultra-processed foods. Instead of focusing on willpower and discipline, avoid buying junk foods altogether.

What happens when one of the world's most technically trained medical specialists begins questioning the deeper nature of consciousness, healing, and the human operating system? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Amir Vokshoor, whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge brain surgery, regenerative medicine, mindfulness, and the philosophy of consciousness. From performing delicate brain and spine surgeries to creating a "Brain Spa" focused on nervous system healing, Dr. Vokshoor explores how modern medicine is beginning to merge with ancient wisdom, emerging technologies, and a deeper understanding of the human mind. Together they unpack the future of spine medicine, stem cells, psychedelics, meditation, chronic pain, consciousness, and why collaboration across disciplines may be the only way to truly understand the brain. This episode explores one of the most fascinating questions in modern science: How much of our health—and even our identity—is shaped by the stories our brain tells us?     What You'll Learn Why neurosurgical training is one of the most demanding disciplines in medicine and how it shapes the psychology of surgeons The pivotal moments that changed Dr. Amir Vokshoor's view of medicine, including witnessing his father's battle with Alzheimer's Why modern healthcare often focuses on treating symptoms instead of understanding the root causes of neurological disease How the brain, gut, immune system, and environment work together as an integrated "grander nervous system" The science behind chronic pain and why it often becomes a brain-based condition rather than just a structural injury How regenerative medicine, including PRP, stem cells, and exosomes, is transforming the future of spine care Why back pain is the most disabling condition in the world and how new surgical technologies are changing treatment The role of mindfulness, visualization, and intention in surgical performance and patient healing How psychedelics and therapies like ketamine are opening new pathways for treating trauma, depression, and chronic pain Why our thoughts, beliefs, and repeated mental patterns may shape not only our behavior, but our long-term health and identity     Chapters

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place?     In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation     Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.  

The founders of Hershey, Good Humor, Stouffer, Heinz, Kellogg, Kraft, and Birdseye, among others, were pioneers looking to bring clean, hygienic, healthy, and trustworthy products to a market saturated with the opposite. Each specialized in a product, be in chocolate, ice cream, prepared meals, ketchup, cereal, cheese, or frozen foods. Recently we have learned that the grandson of the inventor of Reeses's Peanut Butter cups, owned by Hershey today, has accused the company of destroying the original product, changing "milk chocolate" and "peanut butter" to substances that mirror them. Whereas Milton Hershey sourced fresh milk and used minimal ingredients, modern Hershey products are anything but fresh or even what the label implies. Also, at least 111 substances of unknown safety have been added to foods, drinks and supplements sold in the United States without alerting the US Food and Drug Administration, a new investigation found. This is on top of the exposure that has recently been brought to American foods in general, from food coloring to preservatives - leading companies to change their ingredient lists with a promise of never again lying to consumers. What were companies that attempted to bring purity to a contaminated marketplace, largely resulting from overcrowded cities, has turned ironically into the very thing that they were formed to fight. Now under "trusted brands" the foods that poisons Americans a century ago have made a reemergence.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Multifamily investing doesn't fail because of bad deals. It fails because of bad property management. Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, we break down why poor management is the fastest way to destroy profitable real estate investments. Even if you hire a property manager, taking a hands-on, owner-operator approach is critical to protecting your capital. In this episode, I explain why management is often overlooked, where investors get it wrong, and why strong property management should always come before growth, scale, or new acquisitions.

This episode is sponsored by Teq. One of the biggest challenges in schools right now is capacity. Educators are asked to do more, often with new tools, and very little support. Teq helps by combining classroom technology like SMART Boards and STEM resources with professional learning that respects educators' time and reality. It's support that makes technology usable, not overwhelming.Learn more at Teq.com.In this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Lemansky to unpack the 3 biggest misconceptions about authentic assessment and what it actually requires to move beyond compliance and into real student growth. From process over product, to UDL and accessibility, to the metacognitive reflection we're all tempted to cut when time runs short, we break down what makes assessment truly meaningful (and human).You'll walk away with practical examples, a fresh lens on AI's role in student work, and a farm-to-table framework that makes authentic assessment stick.And yes… there's beef stew involved.

Faith Ingredient For Healing Part 2 - Kent Ward (01 March 2026)

Women over 40 are the most understudied population in modern medicine. In this powerful and overdue conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Amy Shah to unpack the massive blind spots in women's health — from perimenopause and menopause to cortisol shifts, brain fog, gut bacteria collapse, muscle loss, and the social isolation epidemic affecting women in midlife. Dr. Shah reveals why hormone labs often don't tell the full story, why 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, how fermented foods regulate inflammation, and why morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful hormone resets available — and it's free. This episode is more than symptom management. It's a blueprint for reclaiming power during one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life.     What You'll Learn Why women weren't required in medical research until 1993 How perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms — not lab tests The hormonal cascade: hypothalamus → pituitary → ovaries → whole-body effects Why fiber is the missing hormone regulator The 30-30-3 framework: protein, fiber & fermented foods The estrobolome and how gut bacteria regulate estrogen Why cortisol sensitivity increases during perimenopause The circadian reset protocol: morning light & nighttime boundaries Why recovery becomes more important than high-intensity stress The female friendship effect & oxytocin biology Hormone therapy myths — and what the research actually shows Why menopause may actually be a leadership upgrade     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome back Dr. Amy Shah 00:00:29 – Novelty, brain aging & why time "speeds up" 00:02:03 – The hormone cascade: hypothalamus, pituitary & endocrine signaling 00:03:39 – The most understudied population in medicine: women over 40 00:04:11 – Women excluded from research until 1993 00:05:06 – Ambien example: why women metabolize drugs differently 00:08:14 – Cultural silence around menopause 00:09:48 – Anxiety, palpitations, carpal tunnel: unrecognized hormone symptoms 00:11:17 – Gut-brain connection & why nutrition is medicine 00:15:11 – The 30-30-3 method explained 00:16:10 – Why fiber drops during perimenopause 00:17:23 – Simple fiber sources that extend longevity 00:19:00 – Fermented foods & lowering inflammation 00:21:01 – Why Americans lost fermented foods 00:22:26 – Circadian biology: every cell runs on light 00:23:46 – Morning sunlight & hormone regulation 00:26:25 – Late-night eating & insulin resistance 00:28:20 – Cortisol spikes in perimenopause 00:29:41 – Why high achievers crash in midlife 00:31:11 – Walking as cortisol-lowering exercise 00:32:24 – Why hormone labs don't show perimenopause 00:33:38 – Key symptoms: sleep, fat redistribution, brain fog 00:35:24 – The estrobolome: gut bacteria & estrogen recycling 00:36:30 – Gut bacteria change within three days 00:38:38 – Andropause vs menopause differences 00:41:21 – Hormone therapy: what's proven & what's misunderstood 00:44:53 – Peak bone & muscle before 30 00:46:02 – Exercise for longevity vs punishment 00:47:55 – The community & oxytocin effect 00:49:49 – Female friendship & cortisol reduction 00:52:18 – Intergenerational connection & health 00:57:05 – Gut bacteria & proximity effect 01:00:24 – The Grandmother Hypothesis 01:02:15 – Menopause as leadership evolution 01:04:28 – You can build muscle, brain & bone at any age 01:05:16 – Rewriting the narrative for women's health     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Shakeology – Shakeology-All in One Nutrition: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

It's a biological transition that requires new inputs, more recovery, more fiber, more protein, more community, more light. When women understand what's happening inside their bodies, they stop thinking they're "falling apart", and start stepping into power.

If you thought Part 1 with Paul Eftang and Matt Harrier was wild — an FDA raid with guns drawn, two years of legal battles, and a crusade against supplement fraud — Part 2 is where it gets genuinely useful. Episode #206 of the PricePlow Podcast picks up right where we left off, this time diving deep into the actual ingredients and products that Nootropics Depot has developed, sourced, and standardized over more than a decade of pharmaceutical-grade R&D. Recorded at Nootropics Depot’s headquarters in Tempe, Arizona, Paul and Matt walk us through tongkat ali’s redemption arc from “gas station boner pill” to clinically meaningful testosterone support, explain why almost every mushroom supplement on the market is mislabeled, detail a 6-year journey to bring a real Ecklonia cava to market, and reveal how a bacopa extract binds to the same receptor as psilocybin. Along the way, they cover cistanche, lion’s mane, Tribugen, a prebiotic fiber system, a novel protein concept, and an industry-wide testing fraud landscape that makes their product philosophy make total sense.

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.

From Corporate Boardrooms to Small Business Breakthroughs: Ingredients for Success with James OrsiniStay On Course Podcast | Host: Julie Riga | Guest: James OrsiniWhat does it really take to build a thriving small business and how do the lessons of the Fortune 500 world translate to the entrepreneurial journey? In this candid and inspiring conversation, Julie Riga sits down with seasoned executive James Orsini to unpack the mindset shifts, operational disciplines, and leadership principles that separate businesses that scale from those that stall. Whether you are a founder, a corporate executive ready to pivot, or a small business owner in the thick of the grind, this episode is packed with transformative insights to help you stay on course.From Corporate Boardrooms to Small Business Breakthroughs: Ingredients for Success with James OrsiniAbout James OrsiniJames Orsini is a seasoned executive leader with more than 35 years of experience as President, CEO, COO, and CFO across high-growth organizations. After an 11-year run at VaynerX alongside Gary Vaynerchuk, where he helped grow the company from $42M to $350M and 2,000 people across 15 offices, James now advises founders and small business leaders through Vyve, Factotum, and J & J Consulting Services, co-founded with his wife Joanne.Fun Fact: James is a proud Italian-American whose ultimate comfort food is his wife's Sunday pasta sauce, slow-cooked for hours every single week.Ingredients for SuccessFocus and Strategic Prioritization Entrepreneurs rarely run out of ideas; they run out of focus. James advocates for working backwards from your endgame and using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize what truly moves the needle each quarter.Knowing When to Hire and Delegate Founders who hold on too tight risk choking their own growth. Tracking yellow hustle time versus green paid time on your calendar reveals exactly when it is time to bring in your first hire and step fully into your leadership role.Integrity Above All Doing the right thing with your employees, vendors, and partners, even when nobody is watching, creates a reputation that outlives any single business venture. James calls this the most enduring ingredient for success.Community and Accountability Leadership can be lonely. Investing in a mastermind, coaching program, or peer group compresses your learning curve and gives you the sounding board every leader needs. Iron sharpens iron.Culture as Your Competitive Advantage VaynerMedia maintained a 17% voluntary turnover rate in an industry averaging over 35%. Hire for kindness and empathy first, then teach the skills. Culture is your most sustainable edge.Memorable Quotes"Doing the right thing is always the right thing, even when people are not looking.""Some founders squeeze the baby so tight, they choke it. Know when to let go and move to the work only you can do.""Work backwards from the legacy you want to leave. That clarity drives every decision."Key TakeawaysTransition from operator to leader. Work on the business, not in it. This mindset shift is the turning point for every founder ready to scale.Build your network with gratitude and empathy. Relationships cultivated with care become your greatest long-term asset.Stay open to pivoting. The business you build two years from now will look nothing like what you imagined today, and that is a strength.Connect with James OrsiniLinkedIn: James OrsiniVyve: @Revive (social handles)Factotum: factotum.comJ & J Consulting Services (LinkedIn)Connect with Julie RigaStay On Course PodcastBefore I Lead Programjulieriga.com/leadSubscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts and share this episode with every founder and leader who is ready to build something that lasts.#StayOnCourse #LeadershipMindset #SmallBusinessSuccess #PurposeDrivenLeadership #BeforeILead

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.

This is not about panic. It's about power. Clean water, clean soil, clean products; these are not luxuries. They are the foundation of sovereignty, freedom, and long-term health. Awareness is rising. Alternatives are emerging. Industry shifts when consumers shift. Make one change today. Then another.

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.
