When a Texas trooper pulled her over, Taylor Parker said she was rushing to the hospital, doing CPR on the newborn baby she just gave birth to in her car. But when doctors examined her, they realized she'd never been pregnant. For months, Parker had told everyone she was carrying her boyfriend's baby, posing on social media with a pregnant belly. But friends knew she'd had a hysterectomy years before. Then as her purported due date arrived, miles away, police made a gruesome discovery. The Netflix documentary “Maternal Instinct” recounts the 2020 story of Taylor Parker, and how her efforts to fake a pregnancy resulted in a tragic conclusion. The film uses body-worn camera footage, digital evidence, and interviews with Parker's boyfriend and others to piece together her elaborate scheme and the lengths she went to resolve it.

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct Netflix — a state trooper found her on a Texas highway, covered in blood, cradling a dying baby that wasn't hers, selling the story that she'd just given birth. At the hospital, blood work confirmed she had never been pregnant. She couldn't have been. She'd had a hysterectomy. Reagan Simmons-Hancock — twenty-one years old, eight months pregnant — was found dead in her home with over a hundred stab wounds.This is the full three-part conversation between Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott on the Taylor Parker case featured in Netflix's Maternal Instinct. All three segments. All three lanes. Uncut.The first segment examines Taylor's pattern of deception — fabricated illnesses going back years before the fake pregnancy, the fixation on a friend's pregnancy that forced Taylor to relocate and start over, and the question of whether the person people thought they knew ever actually existed.The second segment puts Wade Griffin's responsibility on the table. Multiple people warned him the pregnancy was impossible. He chose Taylor. He cashed fake checks. He went into debt. He said out loud that things were moving too fast. And he kept going. His community has its own verdict. Reagan's widower has his.The third segment examines the system that failed. The doctor who knew and couldn't speak. The father who watched the gender reveal in silence. The mother who assumed the truth would surface on its own. The privacy laws and pandemic restrictions that ensured it wouldn't.Three segments, three lanes, one conversation that covers more ground than the documentary.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She was twenty-one years old and eight months pregnant.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down for the full three-part conversation on the Taylor Parker case. This is every segment — the psychology, the boyfriend, and the system — uncut and in sequence.The first lane examines Taylor's pattern. The fabricated illnesses that preceded the fake pregnancy by years. The fixation on another woman's pregnancy that got Taylor cut off and pushed to a new town. The brother's testimony that her personality transformed after weight loss surgery.The second lane puts Wade Griffin's role on the table. The eight-million-dollar check he tried to cash. The four-million-dollar ranch offer. The warnings from his mother, his friend, Taylor's ex-husband, her aunt — all dismissed. The community that now walks the other way when they see him.The third lane takes on the system. Taylor's own OB-GYN watched her post stolen ultrasound images from his office and couldn't tell a soul. Her father attended the gender reveal knowing the pregnancy was a fabrication.

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — this is the full three-part conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott on the Taylor Parker case, all segments uncut. The trooper scene. The boyfriend. The system that failed. Everything.It starts with Taylor herself — the composure she showed while covered in blood selling a lie to a state trooper. The pattern of fabricated illnesses that went back years before the pregnancy. The friend whose pregnancy she tried to hijack before starting over with a new partner in a new town.It moves to Wade Griffin — the man who believed the inheritance, the pregnancy, and the eight-million-dollar check. Who was warned by his mother, his friends, Taylor's ex-husband, and her own aunt. Who told the court he felt something was wrong and kept going anyway. Whose community holds him responsible and whose name appears in a wrongful death lawsuit.And it ends with the system. The doctor who performed Taylor's hysterectomy and couldn't legally tell anyone when she posted stolen ultrasound images from his office. The family who all knew and all waited for someone else to handle it. The pandemic restrictions that gave Taylor nine months of unquestionable cover.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott's perspective on who bears responsibility in this case — and what it means for anyone watching who thinks they would have stopped it — runs deeper than anything the Netflix documentary covers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct Netflix — she told Wade Griffin she was heir to an oil fortune worth millions. She told him her mother was blocking the inheritance out of spite. She had him making offers on a four-million-dollar Oklahoma ranch, financing a ninety-two-thousand-dollar truck, and buying a car for his own mother — all with money that did not exist and never had.Then she handed him an eight-million-dollar check and he walked into a bank and tried to cash it. The bank flagged it. Wade's response under oath: "I had never received or dealt with anything that large."Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott takes on the Wade Griffin question in this conversation — the question that has split the Maternal Instinct audience right down the middle. Was Wade a victim of a master manipulator, or was he a man who wanted to believe the fantasy so badly that he let himself be used?Taylor's ex-husband tried to warn Wade's brother. His mother Connie told him directly. His friend Stephanie tracked down proof. Taylor's own aunt called to sound the alarm. Wade chose Taylor every time. People in his town avoid him. Reagan's widower holds him partly responsible. And Wade himself admitted something was off — said the words "this is all happening way too fast" — and kept right on going.This segment of the three-part Shavaun Scott interview puts the responsibility question front and center. The psychology behind why some people feel the warning and override it is more complicated than the documentary lets on.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct Netflix — before she faked a pregnancy, she faked a stroke. On camera. With a droopy face convincing enough that her friends rallied around her. Before that, she told them she had cancer, MS, a brain tumor. Every lie landed. Every lie went unchallenged. And every lie that stuck gave her permission to aim bigger.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott digs into the full pattern behind Taylor Parker's deception in this interview. The fake illnesses. The fixation on a friend's real pregnancy that got Taylor cut off and forced her to relocate to a new town. The brother's testimony that weight loss surgery marked a turning point in her entire personality. And the question that runs underneath everything: if the pattern was this visible in hindsight, why did nobody connect the dots until after Reagan Simmons-Hancock was dead?This is the first of three conversations exploring the psychology, the relationships, and the system failures behind the Taylor Parker case. This segment stays with Taylor — who she is, what drives the need to fabricate an entire identity, and whether the performance ever had an off switch.Shavaun Scott's answer to whether anyone around Taylor ever stood a real chance of seeing through her is not what you'd expect.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct Netflix — five people knew Taylor Parker's pregnancy was a lie. Her doctor. Her mother. Her father. Her aunt. Her ex-husband. Between them, they had every fact needed to prevent what happened to Reagan Simmons-Hancock. Not one of them was able to stop it.The doctor who performed Taylor's hysterectomy — and who watched her post stolen ultrasound images from his own office — testified he was legally prevented from disclosing her medical history to anyone. The best the clinic could offer was five words: "Just go with your gut."Taylor's father attended her gender reveal knowing the baby wasn't real. Her mother testified "we figured the lie would be exposed." Her aunt was blocked on social media after attempting to intervene. Her ex-husband reached out to Wade's brother and was dismissed.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott takes on the systemic side of the Taylor Parker case. Privacy laws designed to protect patients protected a woman orchestrating a lie that would end in murder. Pandemic restrictions that were supposed to keep people safe gave Taylor unquestioned cover for nine months. And a family who all independently knew the truth all independently decided it wasn't their responsibility to act.Wade Griffin's friend Stephanie Ott made every call, found proof, and pushed against every wall the system put up. The lab wouldn't help. The clinic couldn't talk. Privacy laws had every door locked.This conversation examines the gap between what people believe they would do in this situation and what the system actually allows them to do. The answer is harder than anybody watching the documentary wants to hear.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — the fake pregnancy was the crescendo, not the first note. Long before Taylor Parker told Wade Griffin she was carrying his child, she was rehearsing. Cancer. MS. A brain tumor. A stroke she performed on camera with symptoms convincing enough to fool the people closest to her. Each lie she got away with built the foundation for the next.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the full arc of Taylor Parker's deception in this conversation — from the fabricated medical emergencies to the silicone belly, the stolen ultrasound images, and the nine-month performance that ended in the death of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and her unborn daughter. What does a professional trained in behavioral patterns see in this case that the average viewer doesn't?Before Wade Griffin, Taylor fixated on her friend Kenzie's real pregnancy — tried to plan the gender reveal, asked to access her pregnancy-tracking app. Kenzie cut her off. Taylor packed up, moved to a new town, and started over with a new audience. Her brother told the court her personality changed after weight loss surgery. The people who knew her longest say the woman in the documentary is unrecognizable.This interview puts the biggest question on the table: was the pregnancy the moment Taylor Parker snapped, or just the lie that finally got too big to sustain?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — Wade Griffin walked into a bank with an eight-million-dollar check from a woman who worked part-time at a staffing agency. He didn't question it. He'd already bought a ninety-two-thousand-dollar truck, an ATV, and a car for his mother — all on the assumption that Taylor's inheritance money would arrive any day.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the Wade Griffin question head-on in this conversation: victim or enabler? The answer isn't as simple as either side wants it to be. Wade was warned repeatedly — by Taylor's ex-husband, his own mother, his friend Stephanie, Taylor's aunt — and every time, he chose to believe the woman sleeping next to him instead.The documentary shows a man grappling with guilt. But it also shows a man who testified "this is all happening way too fast" — meaning he felt the red flags, acknowledged them, and kept moving forward anyway. His community made their verdict without a courtroom. People walk the other way when they see him. He lost his livelihood. Reagan Hancock's family named him in a wrongful death suit.This interview explores what makes someone override their own instincts when the lie is offering them exactly what they want. Wade dreamed of owning a ranch. Taylor promised him one. The question Shavaun puts on the table — whether Wade's willingness to believe was trust or something closer to choice — doesn't have a comfortable answer.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — Mark Morton, Taylor's own father, walked into her gender reveal party knowing his daughter had a hysterectomy and could not be pregnant. He stayed. He watched the celebration. He left without saying a word to anyone.He was one of at least five people who knew the pregnancy was a lie and did nothing to stop it. Taylor's mother Shona knew — testified she figured the truth would come out on its own. Taylor's aunt knew and was blocked on social media when she tried to intervene. Taylor's ex-husband knew and called Wade's brother. The OB-GYN who performed the hysterectomy knew — he watched Taylor post stolen ultrasound images from his own office — and privacy laws prevented him from telling a soul.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the systemic failure behind the Taylor Parker case in this conversation. Not the crime itself — the architecture around the crime. The privacy laws that protected the faker while a pregnant mother went unprotected. The family dynamic that let every person with the truth assume someone else would deliver it. The pandemic restrictions that Taylor used as cover for nine months, preventing Wade from attending a single appointment.And the woman who did everything right — Wade's friend Stephanie Ott, who tracked down proof from the lab and the clinic and confronted the lie directly — and was told by the system there was nothing it could do for her.Shona Prior's words to the court land differently after you hear this conversation: "We figured the lie would be exposed. He would figure it out." Nobody figured it out in time. And the system ensured nobody could.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — everybody watching the Netflix documentary has an opinion about Wade Griffin. Some people see a man who got played by a con artist so skilled that no one could have seen through her. Other people see a man who took an eight-million-dollar check to his bank, watched his mother's gifted car get repossessed, had multiple people tell him the pregnancy was impossible, and still chose the version of reality where Taylor Parker was telling the truth.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down to unpack the psychology on both sides — what Taylor was doing to keep Wade locked in, and what was happening inside Wade that made him override every warning sign thrown at him. His own testimony makes the question harder, not easier. He told the court he sensed things were moving too fast. He said it out loud. And then he helped Taylor make a four-million-dollar offer on a ranch using a hyphenated last name they didn't actually share.Reagan Hancock's widower named Wade in a wrongful death suit. His community shuns him. His mother has watched him cry over what happened. This conversation doesn't pick a side — it puts the tension on the table and lets a psychotherapist explain what she sees. What keeps a person choosing the lie when the truth is coming at them from every direction? And at what point does the person being deceived bear responsibility for what happens next?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — her friends watched her fake a stroke on video, and they bought it. They watched her claim cancer, MS, a brain tumor, and they believed every word. Long before the fake pregnancy, Taylor Parker was already deep into a pattern of fabricated emergencies — and the people around her never suspected a thing.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology of someone who lies at this scale. Not one lie. Not a single moment of desperation. A sustained campaign of deception stretching years — across multiple partners, multiple friendships, and multiple medical fabrications — all leading to the crime that landed Taylor Parker on death row in Texas.The conversation puts Taylor's entire history under the lens: the fixation on her friend's real pregnancy before she faked her own, the brother who testified that her personality transformed after weight loss surgery, and the question no one watching the Netflix documentary seems to be asking — was there ever a point where someone could have identified the pattern and intervened? Or did Taylor Parker become so practiced at deception that even trained professionals wouldn't have seen it coming?What Shavaun Scott sees in this case — and what she says about the line between calculated performance and something deeper — goes beyond anything the documentary covers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — the people who could have stopped Taylor Parker were told by the system they weren't allowed to.Her OB-GYN performed the hysterectomy. He watched her steal ultrasound images from his office and post them on social media claiming she was pregnant. He knew it was a medical impossibility. Privacy laws meant the strongest statement anyone at that clinic could make when asked directly was "just go with your gut." Five words. That's what the system allowed.Taylor's father Mark Morton walked into the gender reveal party knowing his daughter could not be pregnant. He watched the whole performance and left in silence. Taylor's mother Shona told the court she never confronted Taylor because she assumed the lie would collapse on its own. Her aunt tried to warn people and was blocked on every platform.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the system that failed Reagan Hancock in this conversation. Not the person who committed the crime — the infrastructure around the crime. The laws that silenced the doctor. The family psychology that turned a shared secret into a shared inaction. The pandemic that handed Taylor nine months of unverifiable cover.And the question at the center of it all: Stephanie Ott did everything a responsible person is supposed to do when they suspect someone is in danger. She found proof. She made calls. She confronted the deception. The system shut her down at every turn.

The Netflix documentary has become a must-see of horrors and Gio is hooked.
The guys debate whether the Knicks' role players will return, check in on Mitchell Robinson's farm, and discuss J.R. Smith's family asking for money, before Gio breaks down the crazy Netflix doc 'Maternal Instincts'. Next, Gordon Damer updates on Giannis heading to the Heat, Gerrit Cole brushes off a rough outing against the Tigers, and George Kittle advocates for grass fields. Finally, Scottish World Cup fans head to a Marlins game in Miami, and Linda Cohn retires from ESPN after 34 years.
Just go with your gut. Those were the five words. That was everything the law allowed Taylor Parker's clinic to say when someone called and asked whether Parker was really pregnant. The clinic manager knew the truth. Taylor Parker had undergone a hysterectomy years earlier. The pregnancy she had been performing for nine months — the silicone belly, the stolen ultrasound images, the gender reveal, the nursery — was physically impossible. But HIPAA protected Parker's medical records. And Reagan Simmons-Hancock, the twenty-one-year-old mother who had befriended Parker after hiring her as a wedding photographer, had no idea what was coming.On October 9, 2020, Parker went to Reagan's home in New Boston, Texas. Reagan was thirty-five weeks pregnant with her second daughter. The medical examiner documented over a hundred and fifty injuries to her body. Parker cut the unborn baby from Reagan and fled toward Oklahoma. The infant, Braxlynn Sage Hancock, did not survive. Parker was pulled over by a trooper with the baby in her lap. At the hospital, doctors confirmed she had not given birth. She did not have a uterus.A jury convicted Parker of capital murder in one hour. She is the youngest woman on Texas death row. Her appeals have been exhausted through the U.S. Supreme Court. Reagan's family is now fighting for legislation that would let doctors warn people when a pregnancy is being faked — closing the five-word gap that cost their daughter's life.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Christopher Mason knew Taylor Parker could not be pregnant. He was her OB/GYN. He had performed the hysterectomy himself. And when he saw Parker posting pregnancy updates online — the maternity photos, the baby name announcements, the week-by-week development of a child that did not exist — he knew every word of it was a fabrication. Privacy laws said he could not tell a single person.Parker had been faking pregnancies for years. She had done it with her ex-husband. She had done it twice with her boyfriend Wade Griffin. This time she committed fully: silicone bellies, fake ultrasound images reportedly stolen from Mason's own office, a gender reveal party, a decorated nursery. She had met a twenty-one-year-old mother named Reagan Simmons-Hancock while photographing her wedding. She charmed the family. She stayed close. And when the lie needed a real baby, she went to Reagan's house. The violence that followed was documented at trial: over a hundred and fifty injuries. Reagan's unborn daughter, Braxlynn Sage, was cut from her body. Neither survived.Parker was convicted of capital murder in one hour and sentenced to death. In jail, she wrote a prayer asking God to frame someone else for the crime. The Supreme Court has refused to hear her case. Reagan's family is pushing for laws that would allow doctors to warn people when they know a pregnancy is being faked. The Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct introduces this case to millions. This episode covers everything the film left on the table.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Toy Story 5 is set to be the latest billion dollar hit. And why shouldn't it? It's a beloved franchise, and they're returning to their roots of making poignant observations via talking toys. Maternal Instinct, on the other hand, is twisted in every way a documentary can be. We recommend taking the kids to see the former.

Everyone is talking about Netflix's Maternal Instinct, but the question Chalene couldn't stop thinking about wasn't the murder. It was how someone becomes so invested in a fantasy that reality itself becomes the enemy. The Taylor Parker case is one of the most disturbing true crime stories in recent memory, but the crime is only part of the story. Long before Reagan Hancock was murdered, there were reports of fake pregnancies, fabricated medical records, invented family drama, fake inheritances, suspicious financial claims, and years of deception that left friends, family, and investigators questioning what was real. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the Taylor Parker and Reagan Hancock case from the beginning, including details, testimony, timelines, and evidence that received little attention in Netflix's Maternal Instinct. You'll hear about the fake pregnancy, the relationship with Wade Griffin, the financial schemes, the Pecan Point property deal, the growing suspicions from family members, and the events that ultimately led to Taylor Parker's conviction for capital murder. But the question at the center of this story isn't simply what happened. It's how a person can create an entirely different reality, convince others to believe it, and continue protecting that fantasy even as everything around them begins to collapse. And that may be the most unsettling part of this case. Topics discussed: Taylor Parker, Reagan Hancock, Maternal Instinct, Netflix documentary, fake pregnancy case, Wade Griffin, Braxlin Hancock, true crime, criminal psychology, pathological lying, deception, capital murder trial, forensic psychology.

The Sound Healer You Already Are "Even if you have no musical ability, we are all sound healers." Jonathan Goldman, pioneer of sound healing. You are a natural sound healer — and it has been with you since birth. In this episode of Strive Radio, host Fiona sits down with sound healer and integration coach Sabine Sladek to explore how we can reawaken this ancient, built-in medicine. While children instinctively use raw vocalizations, humming, and chanting to process trauma and pain, modern culture slowly teaches us to silence ourselves as we grow up — convincing us our voices have to sound "professional" or "perfect" to count. Sabine shares her own journey of using unpolished, unfiltered sound to move through deep grief, and explains why letting out the "weird" or uncomfortable noises is often the exact key to breaking through stuck energy. In this episode, we explore: Reclaiming the Instinct — looking back at childhood to see how sound has been healing you all along The "Ugly" Sound Miracle — why effective sound healing isn't about making pretty music, but letting out the raw, disjointed tones of where it actually hurts Healing on the Go — simple daily habits like humming in the car, focusing vibration into your hands, or venting into a pillow to release empathic stress and rebalance your system Turn off the electronics, tune into your body, and join the sound. www.barefootenlightenment.com, www.earthtriberadio.com, barefootenlightenment on facebook.

Today, we're diving into the incredible journey of Abubakar Salim, an actor who at just 16, gave himself a life-altering ultimatum: break into the National Youth Theatre or join the Army. From that high-stakes beginning, Abubakar has navigated the industry by constantly chasing the raw, unpolished instinct of his younger self. He shares how this philosophy carried him through a grueling nine-round audition process for Ridley Scott's Raised by Wolves and eventually into the world of House of the Dragon. We explore how he transitioned from a "performer for hire" to a visionary storyteller by founding Surgent Studios, where he now creates video games like Tales of Kenzera: ZAU to process deeply personal themes of grief and loss. Get ready for an inspiring conversation about the power of "just being," the importance of kindness in a brutal industry, and why the most successful auditions are often the ones where you stop trying to have a plan and start seeking discovery. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Abubakar Salim right here.

Okay.. our top story this week: XX The FDA approved Tzield for use in stage 3 T1D – that's what we used to just call type 1. It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells. The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings. XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. -- Back to the news.. XX Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology. -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings. XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition
In this episode, Nathan Haas and Colby Pierce sit down with Coryn Labecki, one of the most decorated American cyclists in history and a coach at Team EF Coaching.With 74 national titles, a victory at the Tour of Flanders, and stage wins at the Giro Donne and the Vuelta, Coryn's palmares speak for themselves. Together, they explore what it actually takes to win at the highest level, and how a career at the top shapes the coach you become.The conversation dives into the balance between data and instinct in sprint racing, why power numbers only tell part of the story, and how repetition and race experience build the gut feel that wins finishes. Coryn also reflects on what it means to be a pioneer for diversity in the sport, the growth of women's cycling, and why she believes showing up and doing the work matters more than making a statement.As a new mother and a full-time coach, Coryn brings a grounded perspective on motivation, balance, and what sport ultimately teaches us about life far beyond the finish line.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux demands respect for male bodies in this listener questions show, arguing the body gives the real empirical ground while propaganda and authority try to override it by trashing male instincts and pushing blind obedience to kings, clergy, and states. He urges trusting those instincts to spot lies, pull over from tailgaters, and build a life free of violence and rights violations.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/FREEDOMAIN2026
In this episode of Retail War Games, I sat down with Gary Mac Herring, owner of Mary Mack's Inc., for a conversation rooted in pure entrepreneurial grit. Starting with a 19-year-old's payphone-operated snow cone stand, Gary explains how the lawless freedom of a 1980s childhood shaped his business philosophy: giving teams the room to make mistakes, get messy, and hustle is the only way to build resilience. Gary pulls back the curtain on cutting out middlemen, sharing the wild story of flying blind to the 2008 Canton Fair to secure direct, handshake-driven relationships with suppliers that established their 20-year manufacturing moat. We also break down a massive retail achievement: how Mary Mack's vertically integrated team successfully launched two entirely separate CPG brands into Target nationwide and a third of Walmart within a single two-week window. From the stark logistical realities of managing national 3PL fulfillment to the humbling "crickets" that often follow a seemingly perfect major industry trade show, Gary drops a phenomenal, low-key masterclass on what it truly takes to sell fun in a box and build an indestructible commercial brand.
October 9th 2020, Wade felt uneasy about leaving his pregnant girlfriend Taylor at home because she was due to be induced later that day to give birth to their daughter, Clancy Gail. Later that morning, Taylor got up, got dressed, and left the house around 7am, drove to McDonald's, had breakfast then drove to her friend Reagan's house. But as Taylor entered the house she picked up a mason jar and smashed her friend, 21 year old Reagan, over the head with it. Taylor then pulled out a hammer and started beating her with it. Taylor then stabbed Reagan over 100 times then sliced open her abdomen from hip to hip and removed Reagan's unborn daughter…. *content warning*. Lets go back a year before the murder and see what led to this absolute disaster.
