What happens when a data-driven nutrition scientist sits down with one of the wellness world's biggest advocates for whole-food living and tackles some of the most controversial nutrition debates head-on? In this powerful and nuanced conversation, Darin Olien welcomes naturopathic doctor, researcher, educator, and science communicator Dr. Matthew Nagra for an evidence-based exploration of plant protein, muscle growth, fiber, seed oils, saturated fat, nutrition misinformation, social media influencers, and the future of nutritional science. Together they unpack why outcomes matter more than mechanisms, why plant proteins perform just as well as animal proteins for strength and muscle gain, the truth about seed oils and omega-6 fats, the overwhelming evidence supporting fiber consumption, and how people can learn to evaluate nutrition claims more critically in a world flooded with misinformation. This episode is a masterclass in scientific literacy, critical thinking, and practical nutrition.

In an age of viral misinformation, cherry-picked studies, and extreme dietary tribes, the ability to evaluate evidence, understand nuance, and focus on real-world outcomes becomes a superpower. The strongest dietary patterns consistently point in the same direction: more whole plant foods, more fiber, less dogma, and a commitment to following the evidence wherever it leads."

The European Union has banned over 1,300 ingredients from skincare. The United States has banned 11. ELEVEN. So what are we actually putting on our faces every single day? And in midlife, when our hormones are already in flux, what are those ingredients doing to us? I sat down with Brian Vaszily (rhymes with PAISLEY), founder of TheArtofAntiAging.com and Purity Woods, who has spent over 25 years researching natural health and longevity. Brian is not a doctor. He is a researcher and educator who has worked alongside the most respected natural-health doctors of the last two decades. And he is here to tell us what is actually in our bathroom cabinets. I want to be really honest with you before we dive in: I am NOT 100% non-toxic. I still color my hair. There are products in my bathroom that are not clean. I am not preaching perfection. But what I DO take seriously is TOXIC LOAD, and that is the lens we go through this conversation with. We go DEEP on: Why your skin is an organ (the LARGEST one you have) and what that actually means for what you absorb The 1,300+ ingredients banned in the EU that are still legal in the US, including 9 commonly used ingredients Why the words "clean" and "natural" on a label mean absolutely NOTHING (zero regulatory definition) Endocrine disruptors and why they hit harder in menopause when our hormones are already shifting Parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde-releasers, oxybenzone, synthetic fragrance: what they do and how to spot them The "first 5 ingredients" rule that tells you 80% of what is actually in any product The truth about retinoids, niacinamide, and skin-lightening topicals like hydroquinone (banned across the developed world) Bakuchiol: the plant-based retinol alternative with comparable research The University of Rhode Island study on red maple leaf extract that researchers nicknamed "plant-based Botox" USDA Certified Organic on skincare: why it is the same federal standard as USDA Organic on food Can you layer Dream Cream with the products you already love? Yes, and how The 10-step bathroom audit you can do this WEEK to start lowering your toxic load TIMESTAMPS: 00:00. Why your skin is an organ (and what most labels are hiding) 06:00. EU banned 1,300+ ingredients. US banned 11. The full story. 18:00. Endocrine disruptors and why they hit harder in menopause 28:00. How to actually read a skincare label: the "first 5" rule 38:00. USDA Certified Organic: the only federal standard that means anything 45:00. Retinoids, niacinamide, and the truth about skin-lightening topicals 55:00. The maple leaf research and why Brian built Purity Woods 63:00. Can you layer Dream Cream with other products you love? 70:00. The 10-step bathroom audit you can do this week This is not a product pitch. This is a clean skincare education episode for midlife women who are tired of being lied to by labels.   Learn More About Brian Vaszily Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/puritywoodsinc   Website ➜ http://puritywoods.com/nataliejill    Thank you to our show sponsors:  LEELA: Get 10% off your first Leela Quantum order with the code NatalieJill at checkout  at https://midlifeconversations.com/leela  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

What if one of the most toxic products in your home isn't your cleaning spray, your cookware, or your water bottle… but the lip gloss sitting in your purse right now? In this eye-opening and deeply alarming conversation, Darin Olien sits down with clean beauty innovator, attorney, and consumer advocate Laura D'Alamo to expose what may be one of the biggest blind spots in modern health and beauty. After surviving triple-negative breast cancer and a near-fatal battle with COVID, Laura embarked on a two-year investigation into the cosmetic industry that uncovered a startling regulatory gap surrounding lip products, microplastics, toxic ingredients, and consumer safety. Together, they explore how lip products are regulated as external-use cosmetics despite being chronically ingested, why 80–90% of lip products may contain microplastics, how outdated regulations fail to reflect modern usage patterns, and why ingredients banned in food can still legally appear in products applied directly to the lips. They also discuss the launch of the Lip Service Alliance, the future of food-grade lip care, and how consumers can drive industry-wide change through awareness and purchasing decisions.     What You'll Learn Why lip products may represent a major overlooked toxic exposure pathway How cosmetics regulations differ from food and pharmaceutical regulations Why lip products are treated as external-use products despite being ingested The hidden role of microplastics in lip glosses, lipsticks, and lip balms Why flavored lip products may increase chronic ingestion How lip tissue differs biologically from normal skin The shocking absorption rates associated with oral mucosal tissue Why titanium dioxide is banned in European food but still used in lip products How outdated usage assumptions fail to reflect modern beauty habits Why the fastest-growing lip product market is girls ages 9–17 The mission behind the Lip Service Alliance How consumers can influence change through

Lip products are uniquely positioned at the intersection of ingestion, absorption, and chronic exposure, yet most regulatory systems still treat them as if they simply sit on the surface of the skin. Whether or not every concern raised in this conversation proves true over time, one thing is undeniable: consumers deserve better science, better transparency, and better products. And when enough people demand change, industries always find a way to evolve."

How do you move beyond AI experimentation and start building systems that can genuinely reason, act, and create value across an enterprise? Recorded at Adobe Summit in Las Vegas, this episode features Daniel Sheinberg, who leads cross-portfolio product initiatives for Adobe's Customer Experience Orchestration business. Daniel is at the center of Adobe's AI and agentic strategy, helping shape how some of the world's largest organizations think about the next generation of customer experiences. During our conversation, Daniel cuts through the hype surrounding agentic AI and explains what actually separates an AI assistant from an AI agent. We explore how advances in reasoning, memory, context awareness, and tool usage are enabling systems that can move beyond generating content to actively helping organizations achieve business goals. Daniel shares practical examples of how enterprises are using these capabilities to personalize customer journeys at a level that would have been impossible with traditional workflows. We also discuss the rise of AI-powered brand concierges, including how are using agentic experiences to create more meaningful customer interactions. Daniel explains why context is becoming one of the most valuable assets in enterprise AI, how businesses can prepare their data and systems for agentic workflows, and why governance, trust, and brand intelligence will play such an important role in successful deployments. If you're trying to understand where AI is heading next, what customer experience orchestration really means, and how businesses can safely deploy agentic AI at scale, this conversation offers a valuable look at both the opportunities and the challenges ahead.

We need to triple global energy production by 2050. Renewables are scaling fast, but the real wild card that could change everything might just be fusion. The physics and engineering are closer than ever, but there's a critical materials problem standing between us and unlimited clean energy.This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly speaks with Dr. John Elling, a Los Alamos chemist turned serial entrepreneur who's working on a solution that he believes will change the world. Both fusion and next-generation fission reactors rely on enriched lithium isotopes, and existing enrichment methods are slow, expensive, and require massive facilities. Dr. Elling's company, Molten Salt Solutions, is developing a simpler, cheaper process and building the US's first commercial production facility for enriched lithium — the ingredient that could determine whether fusion energy ever actually reaches the grid.We talk about:The big problem facing both fusion and advanced fission right now: the unmet demand for fuelA refresher on the science behind enriched lithium and nuclear energyThe world's growing energy demands, and why fusion will help us meet the 3x demand we'll face by 2050Why the US dismantled its only enrichment facility and why Russia currently holds the only meaningful supplyHow Molten Salt Solutions' mercury-free, scalable process differs from how governments did it during the nuclear weapons eraThe race to supply fusion developers with material they need now, before commercial reactors even existWhy the current administration's push to reduce regulatory barriers for small modular reactors is accelerating demand for lithium-7John's case for why fusion is the final frontier of humanity's energy evolutionLinks:Molten Salt Solutions: https://www.moltensaltsolutions.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2zSubscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show (and support future field trips): https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Hi friend! Let's talk about something often overlooked—but essential—for a healthy, thriving marriage: REST. Not just physical rest, but the kind that restores your mind, heart, and your connection with your spouse. What if the closeness you're craving isn't about more time or better communication, but about learning to slow down together? In a world that celebrates busyness, many couples are quietly running on empty—tired, disconnected, and just trying to keep up. But what if rest isn't a luxury? What if it's one of the keys to thriving in your relationship? In today's episode, we unpack why rest—not more effort—might be exactly what your marriage needs this season. If you desire deeper intimacy, emotional connection, and closeness, then this episode is for you. ............................................................................................................................

Sometimes when we're trying to help someone, we focus on the wrong things—what advice to give, what solution to offer, or what the “right” words might be. But the most important ingredient in helping might actually be something much simpler: the relationship. In Episode 138 of the Only Trying to Help podcast, Ravi Maharajh joins the conversation to talk about why rapport matters so much when we're trying to support others. Before people accept guidance, feedback, or help, they usually need to feel understood, respected, and safe with the person offering it. We also take a few nostalgic detours into 80s movie references, because sometimes the best conversations about helping others include a little laughter along the way. If you've ever wondered why good advice sometimes falls flat—or why some people seem naturally better at helping than others—this episode explores the powerful role of connection. 

What if the path to peace starts with self-interest? After four decades inside some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones, mediator Hiba Qasas has learned that most peacebuilding efforts get it wrong from the start. She makes a provocative case that conciliation shouldn't begin with empathy — and reveals how leading with shared incentives brought hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian leaders into active collaboration, even in the midst of war. (Following her talk, Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, interviews Qasas on our collective responsibility to advocate for peacemaking.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of at the root cause Why Dr. Reardon focuses on "deprescribing" medications The importance of metabolic health and foundational lifestyle medicine How modern medicine often ignores why symptoms are

"The human body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."

Jason Schwartze, founder of Moonglade Craft Soda, shares the decades-long journey from a kitchen obsession with perfecting ginger beer to a freshly launched line of certified organic farmers market-inspired craft sodas. He talks about his background as a park ranger and agricultural inspector, how that shaped his passion for regenerative farming and ocean health, and why joining 1% for the Planet felt less like a business decision and more like an extension of who he already was. Jason digs into the innovations that made Moonglade possible, from solving the carbonation problem in organic beverages to discovering a mushroom fiber extract preservative that keeps his sodas shelf stable. He wraps up by inviting the community to seek out products that are real. And to trust that when something comes from a family and a farmers market, it probably is.Takeaways:Moonglade Craft Soda is a family business out of Oceanside, California that got its start at farmers markets about ten years ago.The brand just launched four certified organic RTD cans, farmers market inspired craft sodas, with roughly half the sugar of conventional soda.Jason's background in agriculture, and as a park ranger, directly informs his commitment to supporting farmers and regenerative practices.Moonglade is a 1% for the Planet member, with a focus on two causes: supporting organic and regenerative agriculture, and keeping plastics out of the ocean.A key innovation for the brand was solving the carbonation loss problem that usually plagues natural sodas.Moonglade uses a natural mushroom fiber extract as a preservative that keeps the product shelf stable without affecting flavor.Jason credits Naturally Network with helping him solidify his growth strategy giving him the clarity and confidence he needed to move forward.Conscious business is a personal ethos for Jason, not just a marketing strategy.Sound Bites:"I basically became obsessed with trying to find a better ginger beer.""It can't be forced, it can't be contrived. What I'm doing is not contrived. It is who I am.""I probably would have given up if the iterative process wasn't a thing. Every time I do something, I have to keep going because it's so much better.""Nobody wants a flat root beer.""If it came from a family and a farmers market, it's probably pretty real.""She just gave me some real clear goals and strategy that I felt like I'd never had before and just gave me a ton of confidence. Without Naturally Network, we wouldn't have had that."Links:Jason Schwartze on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-schwartze-9057b12a3/Moonglade Craft Soda: https://moongladesoda.com/Moonglade Craft Soda on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/moonglade-craft-soda/people/Moonglade Craft Soda on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MoongladeCraftSodaMoonglade Craft Soda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moongladesoda/...Naturally Network: www.naturallynetwork.org…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio…The Food Institute - https://foodinstitute.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A while back scientists announced they'd found an ingredient needed for life around distant stars.

I have had a glow up over the past few years and so many of you have been asking me how. It was not Botox. It was not fillers. It was not peptides. What they do not want you to know is what actually makes the real difference is connecting to Earth in a deeper way.   In this episode I sit down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits and algae expert of 17 years, to talk about spirulina and chlorella, two of the most powerful healing foods on the planet that have been here for four billion years and most of us have never been told about.   In this episode we explore:

I'm Diane, and I'm here with my daughter Alysha (aka Eash Da Beast), and in this episode we're sitting down just 8 days out from her bodybuilding show - peak week is officially in full swing! We're talking through what life really looks like right now in prep: the low energy days, carb thoughts taking over everything, shredded lettuce cravings, and the routines that come with getting stage-ready. We also break down what typically shifts this close to show day when it comes to food, cardio, water, and mindset, and why keeping things as consistent and simple as possible becomes the main focus. We also get real about the day-to-day experience of peak week - sleep, sodium, cravings, and trying not to overthink every little change in the mirror. And of course, we still end up talking about post-show food dreams… because that's basically part of prep at this point

Today on the podcast, Aly sits down with the founder of Le Prunier.  Allison Taylor grew up immersed in their family's organic plum farm. Together with her sisters Jacqueline and Elaine they founded Le Prunier. Inspired by their heritage and driven by innovation, they transformed the family legacy into Le Prunier—a groundbreaking skincare brand that harnesses the Power of Plum®. Together they blend tradition, sustainability, and science to redefine clean beauty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thriving in College: What Nobody Tells YouGuest: Danielle Barone, LCSW, Founder of Waves Therapy Group Host: Julie Riga

You're eating clean, hitting the gym, getting your sleep — and you still feel exhausted, bloated, and hormonally off. It's not you. It's what you're being exposed to every single day without realizing it. In this episode, we break down low-tox living in the most approachable, judgment-free way possible. No fear-mongering, no guilt about last night's candle or this morning's dry shampoo — just the information most women were never given and that doctors rarely talk about. If you've been doing "everything right" but still can't figure out why your hormones are a mess, your energy is tanked, or your weight won't budge — your toxic load might be the missing piece. Tune in as Lacey walks you through how your endocrine system works, what's quietly disrupting it, and exactly where to start making swaps without feeling overwhelmed.   Key Takeaways Your toxic load — the cumulative buildup of everyday chemical exposure — could be the root cause behind hormone imbalance, unexplained fatigue, and stubborn weight gain.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews leadership consultant Minette Norman about psychological safety and her co-authored book, The Psychological Safety Playbook for Changemakers. Norman defines psychological safety as the belief that in a group you can ask questions, make mistakes, and voice differing views without embarrassment, exclusion, or repercussions, and contrasts it with environments where people agree publicly but dissent privately. They discuss high-stakes consequences of low psychological safety (healthcare errors, the Challenger disaster), organizational costs (reduced innovation and performance, increased burnout and disengagement, reputation management and groupthink), and links to inclusion and hearing from introverts and neurodivergent thinkers. Norman shares practical leadership actions such as redesigning meetings, inviting dissent, asking “What am I missing?”, admitting mistakes, using blameless learning after failures, and sustaining safety through mutual respect; she highlights “the power of the pause” to respond thoughtfully when triggered.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:27 Why Safety Matters03:15 Defining Psychological Safety05:00 Real World Stakes06:47 How the Book Happened11:37 What It Is Not15:19 The Hidden Costs21:35 Reputation and Inner Circles23:34 Building It Day by Day30:57 Inclusive Meetings for All36:51 Top Practices to Try39:30 The Power of the Pause43:07 Final TakeawaysHelpful Links:Minette NormanMinette Norman LinkedInMinette Norman InstagramThe Psychological Safety Playbook for Changemakers Book

In this episode of the Rest, Eat, Move podcast, Matt and his Chris dive into the evolution of processed food and why reading ingredient labels matters more than obsessing over calories or macros. Using examples like Wonder Bread, Gatorade, peanut butter, McDonald's fries, and breakfast cereals, they explain how modern food manufacturing prioritizes shelf life, flavor engineering, and marketing over ingredient quality. The conversation explores topics like artificial additives, dyes, seed oils, “natural flavors,” gut health, lectins, food marketing, and the importance of choosing simpler, minimally processed foods whenever possible. Their core message is straightforward: “less is best” when it comes to ingredients, and consumers can improve their health by becoming more aware of what's actually in packaged foods.#WellnessPodcast#NutritionPodcast#HealthyLifestyle#GutHealth#CleanEatinghttps://ontargetliving.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooYR_CL_hEh8bu7mIk8Zbn-v7LifXry-bsMi0SnkgS2oYyI4aIL

Some of the biggest threats to your bone health may be hiding in foods you eat every single day, even foods marketed as "healthy." Today, I'm revisiting one of the most popular conversations ever on my YouTube channel with nutrition expert Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru. This information is simply too important not to share again. We talk about the hidden ingredients commonly found in packaged and processed foods that may negatively affect both your bone health and your overall well-being. The good news? This episode is not about fear or perfection. It's about awareness and making simple, realistic swaps over time. Mira explains why ingredients like carrageenan, EDTA, phosphoric acid, and excess caffeine may interfere with nutrient absorption, increase inflammation, and potentially contribute to bone loss. We also discuss why the "low-fat" mindset may actually work against your bones by interfering with the absorption of important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins D and K. We also share practical ways to reduce these ingredients without overwhelm. You can learn how small, sustainable changes can make a meaningful difference for your bones and your overall health.   "I encourage people to be brand disloyal…You really want to make sure that you're being proactive for yourself. Make sure that you're looking, not for the brand, not for what's on the front of the package, but for what's in the ingredients." ~ Mira Dessy   In this episode: - [03:29] - Carrageenan, emulsifiers, and gut inflammation explained - [12:22] - How gums may affect digestion and nutrient absorption - [14:55] - Why EDTA may interfere with calcium absorption - [18:44] - The surprising connection between caffeine and bone health - [22:06] - Non-caffeinated coffee alternatives - [30:16] - Why low-fat foods may weaken bone health - [33:19] - Phosphoric acid, soda, and mineral depletion - [39:29] - Simple ways to reduce harmful ingredients without overwhelm - [40:59] - Easy bone broth nutrition hacks for stronger bones  - [43:37] - New research linking ultra-processed foods to poor bone health   Resources - Get discounted supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary (SALE 5/18-5/21) - https://tinyurl.com/happybonessupplements - More Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis & Bone Health Summit - free 8 days - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit  - Mira's Substack - https://miradessy.substack.com  - January Zine (free for everyone) - https://miradessy.substack.com/p/january-2026-kitchen-table-chat-zine - The Pantry Principle: How to Read the Label and Understand What's Really In Your Food - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0988935708/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0  - Avoid the Bone Health Bandits ebook - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4TTHWCF   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

In this honest and hope-filled Q&A episode, Dr. Carol tackles some of the most tender and complicated questions surrounding faith, sexuality, betrayal, intimacy, and emotional healing. From pornography and painful marriage dynamics to shame, loneliness, and the longing for deeper connection, this conversation explores what it means to be fully human while following Jesus. Along the way, Dr. Carol addresses an often-overlooked question: If Jesus was fully human, what does that mean for understanding desire, embodiment, and intimacy today? Drawing from both Scripture and neurobiology, this episode moves beyond behavior management into the deeper work of wholeness. Dr. Carol explains why transformation requires more than head knowledge—it requires bringing your whole self into the presence of Jesus, including your emotions, wounds, fears, and desires. Whether you're struggling in your marriage, carrying hidden shame, or longing to experience God more deeply, this conversation offers compassionate insight and practical hope for healing, connection, and lasting change.

Recorded live at Performance Days 2026 in Munich, this panel brought together three of the most influential ingredient brands in performance apparel — Polartec (Eric Yung), Elastic Interface (Gianluca Pellicciari), and Polygiene (Eva Doll) — alongside the design leads at Albion (Graham Raeburn) and Santini (Fergus Niland) to unpack a relationship the cycling industry rarely talks about openly: the strategic relationship between ingredient partners and brands. The conversation moved past the hangtag.The panel dug into what real co-development looks like (hint: it starts with trust and a shared problem, not a logo), why so many brands fail to communicate the value their ingredient partners create, and how cycling still lags behind the outdoor industry in maturing this conversation.The throughline: ingredient brands are an under-leveraged R&D arm sitting right there, waiting to be used better.Read the latest 'The Business of Cycling' BlogSign up for 'The Business of Cycling' Newsletter

Step into Episode 212 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Rudy and his son Thomas, the father–son team behind Strictly From Scratch, a 31‑year bakery that quietly supplies breads and pastries to hospitals, hotels, airlines, and big‑box retailers across the country. From New York City nightclubs and an Acapulco sabbatical to relaunching a bakery in Arizona in 1995, Rudy walks through how a career in nightlife turned into building one of the largest behind‑the‑scenes bakery operations in the United States.You'll hear how Strictly From Scratch grew from a small Tucson bakery into an 85,000‑square‑foot facility (with another 20,000 on the way) that sends three to ten truckloads at a time to major brands, while still delivering fresh bread six days a week to local restaurants and hotels around Phoenix. Thomas shares how a global food safety initiative pulled him away from a nursing path and into the business, where he became an ISO auditor, built HACCP programs, and now leads the quality systems that make it possible to serve clients like Walmart, Costco, airlines, hospitals, and hospitality groups without compromising safety or consistency.The conversation also dives into what operators are feeling right now—ingredient inflation, FDA changes like new red food coloring rules that suddenly spike the cost of something as simple as raspberry filling, and the pressure to manage margins without constantly hammering customers with price increases. Delo and his guests unpack how scale, dual commercial and local channels, and a focus on doing what's right for long‑term customers and employees helped them navigate COVID without major layoffs, all while investing millions in new automation and capacity.If you're in hospitality, foodservice, insurance, or just curious about the unseen companies that keep airlines, hospitals, and restaurants stocked every day, this episode gives you a rare look at “the biggest company nobody's heard of” and the mindset it takes to build a durable family business from scratch.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 4:50) Intro, “Risky Business” liquor‑liability book, and meeting Rudy & Thomas(4:51 - 10:10) New York nightclubs, Acapulco sabbatical, Tucson bar & grill, and the birth of Strictly From Scratch(10:11 - 15:00) Selling to a Chicago restaurant group, non‑compete, and relaunching Strictly From Scratch in 1995(15:01 - 22:30) Thomas joins the business, global food safety initiative, ISO audits, HACCP, and quality systems buildout(22:31 - 30:30) Big‑box retailers, airline accounts, Michael Lewis Company, and becoming a top bakery supplier in the U.S.(30:31 - 37:30) Local foodservice routes, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, hospitals, hotels, and being “the biggest company nobody's heard of”(37:31 - 44:30) Ingredient inflation, FDA red‑dye changes, managing margins, and operating through COVID without major layoffs(44:31 - 50:30) Expansion plans, artisan line with partners like Noble, capital investments, and succession from Rudy to Thomas and the long‑term team(50:31 - End) Morning rituals, family life, liquor liability in Arizona, and closing thoughts on passion, work, and knowing when to pass the torch

What if the relationship patterns that keep repeating in your life… were programmed into your nervous system before you could even speak? In this profoundly illuminating conversation, Darin sits down with attachment theory expert, author, and founder of The Personal Development School Thais Gibson to explore the hidden architecture of human relationships, subconscious programming, trauma, nervous system regulation, childhood conditioning, and the science of attachment styles. From anxious and avoidant dynamics to birth trauma, emotional neglect, fear of intimacy, people pleasing, hyper-independence, and the subconscious mind running 95% of our lives, this episode reveals how our deepest wounds unconsciously shape who we love, how we communicate, what triggers us, and why we keep recreating familiar emotional patterns—until we finally become aware enough to change them.     What You'll Learn The four attachment styles and how they shape every relationship Why the subconscious mind controls 95–97% of human behavior How childhood emotional neglect creates avoidant attachment patterns Why anxious attachment often develops from inconsistency and abandonment The roots of fearful avoidant attachment and hypervigilance How birth trauma and early nervous system conditioning impact adult relationships Why people unconsciously recreate familiar emotional dynamics The connection between trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and attraction How somatic

random—they are survival strategies your nervous system learned long ago. But attachment styles are not life sentences. The moment you become aware of your subconscious programming, create space between trigger and reaction, and begin rewiring those deeper wounds… you stop living from survival and start creating relationships from consciousness."

From beef tallow fries to real sugar gummies and olive oil potato chips, the hottest brands in CPG are winning — and raising serious money — by reimagining old-school ingredients for modern consumers. The hosts unpack why investors are pouring millions into "back-to-basics" brands, including frozen fry startup Jesse & Ben's. We also meet with Better Sour co-founders Bella Hughes and Semira Nikou to discuss the brand's new gummy line and upcoming launch at Whole Foods. Show notes: 0:20: Sour, Sugar, Success. Bolt HQ. Taste Awareness. Where's The Beef? Olive Fry. Smart Bevs & Bars. – The hosts preview the episode's interview with Better Sour co-founders Bella Hughes and Semira Nikou and sample products from the brand's new real sugar line of gummies. They also recap Taste Radio's lively meetup in Austin, held at Nutrabolt headquarters and discuss how emerging food and beverage brands can build awareness at BevNET Live via sampling opportunities at the event. The discussion turns to frozen fry brand Jesse & Ben's, which recently raised a $10 million Series A round by differentiating itself through avocado oil and beef tallow preparation, elevated branding, and premium positioning. The team debated whether consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for upgraded versions of everyday staples, citing the success of brands like Graza, whose expansion into olive oil potato chips was praised as another example of innovative branding transforming a familiar category. The episode wrapped with rapid-fire product tastings and commentary on emerging functional beverage and snack trends, including nootropic drinks, tingling non-alcoholic beverages, and clean-label snack bars. 32:18: Interview: Bella Hughes & Semira Nikou, Co-Founders, Better Sour – Bella and Semira discuss the launch of their new line of real sugar gummies debuting exclusively at Whole Foods Market this summer.

What if the smallest act of vulnerability… could completely change someone's life? In this deeply heartfelt solo episode, Darin explores a simple but radically transformative idea: go first. In a world where people are more digitally connected yet emotionally isolated than ever before, Darin breaks down the neuroscience, psychology, and human power behind making eye contact, giving genuine compliments, expressing appreciation, and risking authentic connection. From oxytocin and nervous system regulation to loneliness research and real-life stories of spontaneous connection with strangers, this episode is a reminder that healing doesn't always begin in a therapist's office—it can begin in a coffee shop, a grocery line, or a brief moment where one human being chooses to truly see another.     What You'll Learn Why modern society is experiencing a crisis of disconnection and loneliness The hidden psychological cost of avoiding vulnerability Why brief positive interactions with strangers improve mental health The neuroscience behind social rejection and fear of connection How oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are activated through authentic interaction Why vulnerability is a trainable "muscle" that rewires your nervous system The power of eye contact, compliments, and acknowledgment Why meaningful human interaction lowers stress and inflammation How small moments of courage create ripple effects for others Practical ways to "go first" and create more connection every day Chapters 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and the science of cellular health 00:01:03 – C15:0, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging 00:02:12 – Why many people may be deficient in C15 00:03:19 – "Celebrate science": discovering new essential fatty acids 00:04:13 – Opening reflection: noticing strangers in everyday life 00:04:52 – The moment we stop ourselves from speaking 00:05:10 – How many genuine moments do we suppress every day? 00:05:33 – Why these "tiny swallowed moments" matter deeply 00:06:02 – Humanity starving for real human connection 00:06:23 – "I see you.

Most of what the supplement and skincare industry sells for aging targets one pathway at a time. But your biology does not age that way. It declines across 12 interconnected processes simultaneously, and by the time one of them shows up on your skin, the others have already been running for years.We at Young Goose believe that skin longevity is not a topical problem. It is a whole biology problem, and the ingredients you choose, how they interact, and whether anyone has actually tested them together matters more than any single molecule ever could.In this episode, we are joined for the second time around by Chris Mirabile, founder of NOVOS which is the first biotech company to target all 12 biological causes of aging. Chris collaborates with leading researchers at Harvard and MIT and has built his work around one premise: that real interventions require real testing on real humans, not just promising ingredients. Let's dive in.What's Discussed:(2:14) Why single ingredient marketing is a commercial story, not a scientific one.(9:56) The three hallmarks hitting skin hardest and how they feed each other.(12:02) How UV damage depletes 90% of NAD in the skin from a single exposure event.(22:14) Why stacking molecules requires human testing, not just ingredient research.(33:48) The NOVOS cardiovascular study and results that surprised the researchers.(48:12) Why spending more on your biology does not make your protocol safe.(1:02:18) What omics testing reveals that epigenetics alone cannot tell you.(1:09:45) Where skin longevity is heading in the next five years.Find more from Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% OFF at younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from Chris Mirabile & Slow My Age:Instagram: @slowmyageYouTube: @slowmyageTikTok:@slowmyageX: @slowmyagePersonal Blog: slowmyage.com Find more from NOVOS:Website: NOVOSlabs.com Instagram: @NOVOSlabs Facebook: NOVOSYoutube: @NOVOSlabsTikTok: @NOVOSlabs_X: @NOVOSLabs

Brand new episode is out for your delightful ears!It is obvious given that I often explore historical food themes, that I usually talk about food in time. But what about time IN food?In the 60s the average US house-wife would spend 112 minutes per day in the kitchen. In 2008 this figure was down to 66 minutes per day. A survey in 2022 in the UK found that “the most time consuming chore is cooking. The average Brit spends 253 minutes per week in the kitchen cooking meals. That's the equivalent of 219 hours per year” and also went on “On top of this, we spend an average of 98 minutes a week washing up, which equates to 85 hours a year and 170 days in our lifetime. That's a lot of time spent in the kitchen.” Feelings of time scarcity are increasingly widespread in industrialised societies. People are fulfilling a multitude of roles, possess an array of material goods, and want to get the most out of their leisure time, all of which influence feelings of not having enough time to get everything done. Time scarcity, or lack of time, is one of the major drivers of ultra-processed food consumption. This time crunch forces people to rely on ultra-processed foods that are ready to heat or ready to eat to buy back time. Overall, this time scarcity is an issue faced by the primary food shoppers, preparers and givers, who are disproportionately women across the globe.My guest today Jenny Linford is a food writer, author and passionate advocate of many many artisanal food producers, cooks, farmers and so on. People who put all their time to create some amazing food for us, to feed us and keep us alive but also for something more important I think. Because food, eating together and eating well is part of what we are. So today, we are discussing these themes from Jenny's past book, "The Missing Ingredient -The Curious Role of Time in Food and Flavour" which is of course -as the title suggests!- about the role of time in food. And time is crucial, not just in the home kitchen…but throughout the whole process of growing, maturing, fermenting, distributing the food. She explores through a series of essays the interconnected and important nature of this underappreciated ingredient from seconds to years. Together we will try and bring a much needed appreciation of the patience that is required and perhaps have a pause and bring time to cooking and eating. We had a fascinating discussion which I hope you'll enjoy!You can buy Jenny's book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/17049/9780141982816"Everything that we eat is part of a cultural legacy that we've inherited" - Sandor Katz, Fermentation revivalistLove,ThomProducers, cooks and artisans mentioned on this episode:England Preserves: https://englandpreserves.co.uk/pages/about-usThe Wasabi Company: https://www.thewasabicompany.co.uk/Claire Clark: https://claire-clark.com/about/Mrs. Kirkham's Lancashire Cheese: https://www.mrskirkhamscheese.co.uk/CJ Jackson: https://www.kentseafood.com/https://www.waterstones.com/book/great-british-seafood-revival/cj-jackson/steve-lee/9781913159856Friis Holm: https://friisholmchokolade.dk/?srsltid=AfmBOoqomjPiETgdr3pM0wV93pZnJQb5y_byfo-IG04kMinDxfD9RToOBest woodfire socca: https://www.chezpipo.fr/enMusic by Pavlos KapralosSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

What if the body already knows exactly how to heal… but modern life keeps interrupting the process? In this profoundly emotional and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin sits down with Australian wellness expert, author, and speaker Andi Lew for a sweeping exploration of trauma, birth, attachment, nervous system regulation, chiropractic philosophy, purpose, intuition, breast implant illness, and the forgotten wisdom of the human body. From the way we enter the world through birth, to the emotional wounds that shape our identities, to the systems that disconnect us from nature and ourselves, this episode is ultimately about one thing: reclaiming your innate intelligence and reconnecting to what it truly means to be human. What You'll Learn Why symptoms like fevers, coughing, and rashes may actually be signs of healing The body's innate intelligence and how modern medicine often suppresses it How trauma and emotional suppression shape physical health outcomes The connection between birth practices, attachment, and nervous system development Why "cry it out" parenting may create emotionally disconnected adults How posture, movement, and chiropractic care impact longevity and vitality The hidden reality of breast implant illness and medical gaslighting How trauma can unconsciously drive cosmetic enhancement decisions Why purpose, creativity, and service are essential for healing How reconnecting to nature, vulnerability, and authenticity changes everything   Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and

It's constantly communicating, adapting, protecting, and trying to guide us back into alignment. But modern life has disconnected us from that wisdom. Real healing begins the moment we stop suppressing the signals, start listening deeply, and reconnect to nature, purpose, vulnerability, and the innate intelligence already living inside of us."

What if loneliness isn't just an emotion… but one of the most dangerous biological threats to your health? In this deeply personal and scientifically explosive solo episode, Darin opens up about something he recently realized in his own life: despite being surrounded by people, he was lonely. But what began as an emotional realization quickly became a deep dive into some of the most shocking research he's ever uncovered, showing that chronic loneliness may increase the risk of heart disease, dementia, cancer, autoimmune dysfunction, accelerated aging, and early death. From inflammatory gene expression and cortisol dysregulation to oxytocin, vulnerability, and the collapse of real human connection in the digital age, this episode reveals why loneliness may be the most overlooked "fatal convenience" of modern life, and how vulnerability may be the medicine. What You'll Learn Why loneliness is a biological crisis, not just an emotional feeling The shocking link between loneliness and heart disease, dementia, and early death Why the quality of your relationships is the #1 predictor of long-term health How loneliness activates inflammatory genes inside your body The role of cortisol, sleep disruption, and chronic stress in social isolation Why social media and "surface-level connection" are replacing real intimacy The connection between loneliness and Alzheimer's disease How oxytocin and genuine connection reduce inflammation Why vulnerability is the gateway to meaningful relationships Practical ways to create deeper connection starting today Chapters 00:00:33 – Sponsor: the truth about the exploding NAD supplement market 00:01:04 – Why supplement verification and transparency matter 00:02:17 – Opening: Darin admits something deeply personal 00:02:30 – "I realized recently… I'm lonely" 00:02:37 – The difference between being surrounded by people vs being truly known 00:03:06 – Loneliness as a biological experience, not just an emotional one 00:03:27 – The hidden risks: heart disease, dementia, cancer, early death 00:03:45 – Why this is not fringe science 00:04:13 – The most important predictor of long-term health 00:04:34 – Why relationship QUALITY matters more than quantity 00:05:06 – The global loneliness epidemic 00:05:11 – U.S. Surgeon General advisory on loneliness 00:05:39 – Loneliness declared a public health crisis 00:06:02 – 50% of Americans report measurable loneliness 00:06:22 – "A generational collapse of connection" 00:06:30 – 29% of adults have no close friends 00:06:40 – Face-to-face interactions dramatically declining 00:07:01 – The UK, Japan, and Australia loneliness crisis initiatives 00:07:32 – The paradox: hyperconnected but deeply isolated 00:08:04 – Loneliness as a biological alarm signal 00:08:31 – What loneliness actually looks like in modern life 00:08:42 – The lonely CEO, the unseen mother, the isolated social media addict 00:09:31 – "Perceived social isolation" and why the brain can't tell the difference 00:10:21 – Meta-analysis of 3.4 million people 00:10:55 – Loneliness vs obesity and smoking risk comparisons 00:11:18 – The biology of loneliness begins 00:11:50 – NF-kB: inflammatory gene activation explained 00:12:33 – How loneliness changes gene expression 00:13:02 – Chronic inflammation and disease pathways 00:13:21 – Cortisol, sleep disruption, and immune dysfunction 00:14:00 – How loneliness affects brain repair and amyloid plaque clearing 00:14:21 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:18:02 – The Alzheimer's and dementia connection 00:18:25 – Loneliness as a major modifiable dementia risk factor 00:18:57 – Cortisol, neuroinflammation, and brain degeneration 00:19:16 – The hippocampus physically shrinking in lonely people 00:19:27 – Social media as a "fatal convenience" 00:19:57 – The oxytocin economy: connection as medicine 00:20:15 – Oxytocin as one of the body's strongest anti-inflammatory molecules 00:20:30 – HeartMath research: emotional synchronization between people 00:20:48 – "You regulate each other's biology" 00:21:07 – The real barrier: vulnerability 00:21:32 – Darin's recent experiences with radical vulnerability 00:21:54 – Conversations with family, ex-partners, and loved ones 00:22:35 – Brené Brown's research on connection and worthiness 00:23:14 – The "depth audit" exercise 00:23:42 – Reaching out, expressing appreciation, and owning your emotions 00:24:01 – Sacred hours: spending time without phones 00:24:13 – Questions that create real intimacy 00:24:30 – Darin's emotional conversation with his brother 00:25:03 – Protecting yourself from social media disconnection 00:25:20 – Becoming a source of joy and connection in everyday life 00:25:25 – Darin reflects on seven years of subtle loneliness 00:25:48 – The shift from surface conversations to meaningful connection 00:26:01 – "If you want love, give love" 00:26:19 – Final message: generate the connection you want to receive 00:26:22 – Closing thoughts and outro Thank You to Our Sponsors Truniagen: Go to www.truniagen.com and use code DARIN20 at checkout for 20% off Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It isn't failure. It's a biological signal telling you that something essential is missing. And in a world addicted to surface-level connection, the real medicine may simply be this: vulnerability, presence, eye contact, honesty, and the courage to let yourself truly be seen."

Michaeleen Doucleff joins Luis for an effervescent meeting of minds in this joyful podcast. A reporter and an author with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, Michaeleen's knowledge base is vast and fascinating. In 2021 she published Hunt Gather Parent, and in March 2026 she published Dopamine Kids. Luis credits her work as changing his family's life because of fundamental parenting shifts she shares that they implemented. Michaeleen learned from indigenous families to include kids into the family ecosystem happenings instead of building a family schedule ladened with play dates and extracurriculars. At the center of the dopamine discussion are screens and processed foods that crank up our dopamine, but not our pleasure. Kids and adults actually get addicted to the WANTING. Limiting our kids, and our own, time with dopamine magnets does not deprive us of pleasure, instead it allows us to reclaim pleasure.Can we feel the difference between wanting and pleasure in our own bodies? Can we teach that difference to the next generation? You can sign up for Michaeleen's newsletter at MichaeleenDoucleff.comYou can get instant access to all of the HLN webinars and video courses here: https://hln.thinkific.com/collections You can order the book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Broughton in the UK here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/broughton-2026----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?
