Welcome back to RECESS — our bi-weekly look at what we're learning, trends we're seeing in the health and fitness space, and how we're building more play into real life.The fitness industry is facing its biggest shake-up yet, and it's coming from a syringe. In this episode of RECESS, we cover a lot of ground: from Caroline's high school graduation and a wild weekend of sports (Knicks championship! Water polo! World Cup!) to the questions keeping health and fitness professionals up at night.The centerpiece of this episode is a candid conversation about GLP-1, GLP-2, and the newly trialed GLP-3 drug Retatrutide — and what near-30% body weight loss results mean for the future of personal training, nutrition coaching, and the entire weight loss industry. Is weight loss about to become a purely medical intervention? And if so, what does that mean for coaches, trainers, and wellness brands like ours?We also take on a viral debate about AI-generated fitness influencers crowding out real coaches on social media, break down the data on whether women should skip college in the age of AI (spoiler: the numbers say no), and share our take on Backrooms, the buzzy horror film directed by a local kid who built the concept as a high schooler. If you've ever felt the existential dread of liminal spaces, this one's for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Caroline Starrett's observation that "muscles are the new skinny" might be the most important trend call in fitness right nowHow GLP-3 drug Retatrutide achieved nearly 30% average body weight loss in Phase 3 trials, and what that means compared to Ozempic and ZepBoundWhat happens to the fitness industry if weight loss becomes a purely pharmaceutical interventionThe hidden dangers of GLP-1 drugs: muscle and bone mass loss, weight regain after stopping, and the return of extreme thinness cultureWhy AI-generated fitness influencers are getting millions of views while real coaches struggle for reach, and what to do about itThe data behind college ROI for women: why the gender pay gap and VC funding stats make a compelling case for staying in schoolWhy the most successful female founders (Rent the Runway, Stitch Fix, 23andMe, Tory Burch) share one thing in commonA local director's Backrooms, worth seeing even if you hate horrorKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS; Caroline's high school graduation and becoming (almost) empty nesters; the "open nest" philosophy(01:50) A massive weekend of sports: Knicks championship, Stanley Cup, World Cup, water polo tournaments, and shoutouts to Cal athletes competing in European club championships(05:35) The viral Canadian coach's Instagram post: AI-generated fitness influencers vs. real coaches, the algorithm problem, and a defense of making content that's actually fun(07:45) Why real coaches deserve your engagement: the difference between AI-driven content and educators who've spent years building free resources(11:17) College ROI debate: a prominent female entrepreneur suggests skipping college; Juliet and Kelly push back with data — 65–75% higher lifetime earnings for college grads, and the gender pay gap closes with education(16:00) Female founders and elite credentials: why the women who actually break through in VC-backed startups almost universally have top-tier degrees; notable examples and one cautionary tale(18:00) Caroline's insight: "muscles are the new skinny" — when anyone can change their body composition with a GLP drug, muscle becomes the differentiator(19:29) Breaking down the GLP-3 trial results for Retatrutide: 70+ lbs average loss, nearly 30% body weight reduction, and how it compares to GLP-1 and GLP-2 drugs(20:40) How GLP drugs are splitting the fitness industry: some coaches relieved, some threatened, and the legacy weight loss brands already pivoting(22:45) The dark side: muscle and bone mass loss, Hollywood's return to extreme thinness, and what happens when people stop taking the drugs without changing their habits(27:00) The message that still matters: muscle is your longevity organ; building a body for adventure; why GLP drugs and strength training aren't mutually exclusive(27:29) Backrooms the movie: local Marin School of the Arts alum director Kane Parsons, and why this creepy-beautiful film is worth your time even if you're not a horror fan(29:10) Wrap-up and thanks for listening

Who actually runs college sports in 2026?For decades, the answer was simple: the NCAA.Today? Not so much.In this solo episode, Grant House breaks down the rapidly evolving power struggle shaping the future of college athletics through the lens of the Brendan Sorsby case, where a Texas court allowed the Texas Tech quarterback to regain eligibility after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for gambling violations.But this episode isn't just about one athlete.It's about the growing tension between the NCAA, conferences, universities, state governments, courts, and athletes themselves. From NIL and the transfer portal to revenue sharing and legal challenges like House v. NCAA, college sports is entering a new era where authority is no longer concentrated in one organization.Topics discussed:The Brendan Sorsby eligibility caseWhy the Big 12 entered the legal battleNCAA authority vs. court interventionThe impact of NIL and athlete compensationThe future of athlete rights and representationLessons from House v. NCAAWhether college sports needs a commissioner or players associationWhat this means for athletes, fans, coaches, and administratorsAs both a Team USA athlete and lead plaintiff in House v. NCAA, Grant offers a unique perspective on the changing landscape of college sports and the questions that will define its future.The biggest question isn't whether Brendan Sorsby should play. The biggest question is: who gets to decide?#CollegeSports #NIL #NCAA #TexasTech #BrendanSorsby #HousevNCAA #AthleteAdvocacy #TransferPortal #CollegeFootball #SportsBusiness #SportsLaw #NameImageLikeness #StudentAthletes #GrantHouse #HouseOfImpactPodcast

Send us Fan MailWhy do some people dramatically improve with a treatment that does absolutely nothing for someone else with the exact same IBS diagnosis? A new 2026 study may help answer that question. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down groundbreaking research that individualized IBS treatment based on microbiome findings rather than treating everyone with the same symptom-based approach. The results challenge one of the biggest assumptions in digestive health: that people with the same diagnosis need the same solutions.You'll learn:Why IBS is a symptom description, not a root causeThe major flaw in much of IBS researchWhat a new 2026 personalized IBS study discoveredWhy averages can hide meaningful treatment successThe difference between symptom-based care and individualized careHow methane SIBO, pelvic floor dysfunction, and motility issues can overlapWhy diarrhea isn't always caused by the same underlying problemThe role of bile acid malabsorption and pancreatic enzyme insufficiencyHow histamine intolerance can masquerade as digestive dysfunctionWhy sequencing matters just as much as choosing the right interventionThe common mistake people make with probiotics, fiber, glutamine, and elimination dietsWhat personalized gut health care may look like in the futureFree resources:Download Alyssa's IBS Constipation Diet Guide with gentle meal ideas, a list of foods to avoid, practical IBS-C-friendly strategies, and sample meals for bloating and constipation supportBook your free 15-minute strategy call, and we'll look at your symptom history, what you've already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like. Watch Alyssa's FREE Masterclass: “Why Your Gut Still Isn't Better — The Real Reason You Feel Stuck” Learn more about Nutrition Resolution's Signature Healthy Gut Restoration Program — a personalized, root-cause approach to addressing bloating, constipation, and underlying digestive imbalances.DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa's Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources tailored to your symptoms.Follow Alyssa on: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest  -Looking for a supportive Gut Health community?

Anorexia nervosa has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness, yet effective biological treatments remain limited. For many people living with the condition, even after successful weight normalization, persistent psychological symptoms, including obsessive thoughts about food, shape, and weight, continue to drive relapse.In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Guido Frank, Professor of Psychiatry at UC San Diego with over 25 years of experience in eating disorder treatment, to discuss results from the first-ever clinical trial of ketogenic therapy in anorexia nervosa.This 14-week supervised feasibility trial enrolled 22 individuals with weight-normalized anorexia nervosa. Among the 18 study completers:✅ 72% scored in the recovered range on eating disorder assessments, no longer meeting the criteria for an anorexia nervosa diagnosis✅ 100% of study completers saw improvements in depression symptoms, with 72% scoring within the normal range.✅ Participants did not experience significant weight change throughout the studyIn this conversation, Dr. Frank also discusses:What led a self-described skeptic to investigate ketogenic therapy for anorexia nervosaHow the study was structured, who it enrolled, and what the weekly supervision looked likeWhat participants experienced as symptoms improved, including reports of mental clarity and reliefHow weight remained stable throughout the ketogenic interventionThe pushback from colleagues and how to engage with the skepticismWhat comes next, including ongoing brain imaging research and plans for a randomized controlled trialEarly observations in bulimia nervosa and what they may suggest about metabolic factors in eating disordersThis trial demonstrated that ketogenic therapy is well tolerated by this population. Larger, controlled studies are needed to better evaluate efficacy.This intervention was conducted under close supervision by a licensed eating disorder specialist, with weekly check-ins, ketone monitoring, and regular psychiatric assessments. Anyone interested in exploring this approach should do so under close medical supervision and in partnership with their care team. If you or someone you care for is living with anorexia nervosa, please speak with your healthcare provider before making any changes.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we examine the heartbreaking case of the Hart family murders—a tragedy that exposed serious failures within the child welfare system and challenged the carefully curated image of a family celebrated by many.What appeared to be a picture-perfect family on social media concealed years of abuse, neglect, and unanswered cries for help. Through court records, witness accounts, and investigative findings, we explore how warning signs were repeatedly overlooked and why the voices of six children were not heard until it was too late.This episode is not simply about how the Hart family died—it is about how six children lived, what they endured, and the futures they were denied.The events leading up to the deaths of Jennifer and Sarah Hart and their six adopted childrenRepeated reports of abuse and neglect that failed to result in meaningful interventionThe role social media played in shaping public perception of the familyDevonte Hart's viral image and the complex reality behind the photographThe importance of recognizing and responding to children's disclosuresThe dangers of "savior" narratives and performative activismRace, adoption, and the challenges of transracial family dynamicsSystemic failures within child welfare and protective servicesThe final investigation and evidence supporting an intentional murder-suicideThe lives, personalities, and futures of the children at the center of this caseTime Stamps : 00:00 – Introduction to the Hart family case00:25 – A hungry child seeks help from neighbors00:55 – The family's disappearance and the discovery at the California cliffside01:50 – Public perception versus reality02:29 – Devonte Hart and the image that captivated the nation03:26 – The carefully constructed narrative surrounding the family04:07 – Social media, activism, and image management05:09 – How trauma was used to explain away concerns06:28 – Priscilla Celestine's efforts to keep her family together07:19 – Family separation and contradictions within the system08:16 – Investigations, reports, and missed opportunities09:12 – Adoption history and the creation of a public success story10:33 – When trauma became a shield against accountability11:58 – The 2010 abuse allegations and legal outcomes13:39 – Continued warning signs and institutional failures15:09 – Homeschooling, isolation, and limited oversight16:21 – Narrative control and public image management17:50 – A troubling family visit in Oregon20:18 – Hannah Hart's attempt to seek help22:06 – Devonte's repeated requests for food23:39 – Escalating concerns and failures to intervene26:33 – The crash investigation and evidence of intentional family annihilation28:30 – The final days: sedatives, control, and isolation30:48 – Recovery efforts and the search for Devonte32:00 – Examining years of systemic oversight failures34:45 – The dangers of rescue narratives and public perception37:09 – The futures each child deserved38:09 – The emotional impact of the case39:36 – Looking beyond appearances and curated images40:34 – Final reflections: How many warnings are too many?Topics CoveredChild Welfare and Protective Services ResourcesInformation on Trauma and Child Abuse RecognitionResearch on Transracial Adoption and Child AdvocacyHistorical Context Behind Devonte Hart's Viral PhotographFollow the show for updates, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes discussions:Instagram: @murderintheblackpodcastSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and your favorite podcast platform.In Memory of Hannah, Markis, Abigail, Jeremiah, Sierra, and Devonte Hart.Their story reminds us that a carefully crafted image can hide painful realities.

David Jenkinson reveals how his BJJ school automated 50% of lead follow-up while improving conversions. The system that handles price objections.IN THIS EPISODE:Why David was "worried about bothering people" (and how it was secretly killing conversions)The automation breakthrough that handles price shoppers better than humansHow BJJ leads actually prefer talking to a bot first (the psychology behind it)The two types of prospects every BJJ school gets (and how to automate for both)Why 50% of leads now book trials without any human interventionThe follow-up sequence that works while you're teaching classesHow to balance automation with personal touches that close enrollmentsFrom manual follow-up burnout to systematic conversion: What changedThe "guinea pig" experiment now transforming BJJ lead managementTRANSCRIPTIONGeorge: Hey, it's George.Welcome to the Martial Arts Media™ Business Podcast.Today, I've got David Jenkinson from Hawkesbury BJJ.How are you doing, David?David: I'm good, mate.How are you?George: Good, good.So we talk a lot in the Partner's call.I wanted to bring you on.You've been in the group for quite a long time.I like these calls to sort of capture where progress is at, but also really get to know you better and have a conversation.See where the martial arts came up and take it where it comes.David: Sounds good.George: Cool, cool.Fill us in.Fill in the gaps, I guess.Where did martial arts all start for you?And what's the journey?How did the journey evolve to where you are today?David: I started later in life, I guess you could say.I started training at 22.I've always been interested in martial arts.Growing up in the 90s, you watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers and all this sort of thing.Mum actually went to sign me up for karate when I was younger, but I chickened out.So it wasn't until a little bit later when I started to get interested in mixed martial arts.I discovered the UFC through a Smashing Machine documentary.Not the Rock one, the original one.I was just super interested in watching these fights.And one thing that really interested me was whenever Joe Rogan was talking about a specific style, he'd always bring up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.That was the black belt that he held up really highly.I was sort of curious about what it was.I learned a lot from his commentary.I learned about how you could win a fight from the ground.And not just from the ground, but off your back from what would normally be considered an inferior position.And it would just seem like in 2005, just a crazy strategy to take the fight to the ground and strangle somebody.This is mainstream ideas now, kids doing martial arts.But back then, it was quite a wild concept, right?So I decided to take a class.I took my first class at a gym in Liverpool, Sinosic Perosh Martial Arts.And

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and today's conversation is one I've been sitting with for a while. It's all about honoring both our body's innate wisdom to heal — and also the truth that sometimes… it needs a little help.I've always been fascinated by how powerful our bodies are. The fact that they can self-repair, regulate, and recalibrate on their own is incredible. But lately, I've been realizing something: just because our bodies can heal naturally doesn't mean we always have to do it alone.There are moments when the foundations — food, movement, sunlight, rest — just aren't enough. And that's okay. Sometimes, we need extra support: a supplement, a peptide, a medication, a different kind of partnership. It's not a failure. It's simply being human.In this episode, I share:Why it's okay to seek support — even if you've always been the “I'll do it naturally” typeMy own journey of letting go of shame around needing a little extra helpHow to know when your body's asking for foundational care versus interventionThe beauty of the “both/and” — honoring your body's intelligence and welcoming outside support when neededSimple foundational practices I've returned to (and how small tweaks can re-anchor your healing)This conversation is about releasing the guilt and pressure we often put on ourselves to “do healing right.” Your body's wisdom is vast and powerful — but sometimes, it simply needs a hand.Big Takeaways:Healing isn't all or nothing — it's both/and.You can trust your body and still seek support.Shame has no place in your healing story.You're allowed to change your mind about what “natural” healing looks like.I'd love to hear from you: What's one way your body has asked for support lately? Tag me, share your story, or leave a review — I love hearing how you're partnering with your body in this season.If you're tired of feeling exhausted, irritable, moody, and just not like yourself, schedule a free 30-minute consultation so I can help you feel like YOU again Fill out this brief form (2 min) to schedule a free 30-minute call.

From the devastation of the service industry to never-ending central bank intervention, these factors make predicting the future of the economy nearly impossible.This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.The “three-body problem” is a physics issue that deals with unpredictable futures. In a recent essay, John Mauldin argues the economy is actually experiencing an “eight-body problem.” On today’s episode, NLW explores each of those dimensions shaping the challenge we face, including:Central bank interventionThe destruction of the service industryThe implosion of global trade In the end, he argues that in a world ruled by chaos, fighting to control the narrative might be the only rational move. Read Ben Hunt’s essay “The Three-Body Problem.”

More on InterventionThe purpose of this podcast is to provide more detailed insight into the process of intervention which requires a total commitment and is much more complicated than we see on TV.The overriding goal of an intervention is to get the addict/alcoholic to accept help and go into treatment.You will use the immense power of the group to achieve your purpose.You will use the power of love which cannot be denied and cuts through resistance and overpowers defiance.Readiness is everything: teambuilding, education, inviting people who care for him into the circle.Have them share their love and concern by reading their prepared letters out loud.And this part is why you are all there: offer the option of either treatment today or lack of future support for their current lifestyle.

IN THIS EPISODE:Adverse Childhood Experiences: A Roadmap To Understanding And TreatmentShow NotesAdverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES)ACES was a ground breaking study where over 17,000 members of a Kaiser Permanente HMO were surveyed about childhood exposure to trauma. They were asked about ten areas: Physical abuse Sexual abuse Emotional abuse Physical neglect Emotional neglect Mother treated violently Household substance abuse Household mental illness Parental separation or divorce Incarcerated household member FindingsThe study found that Adverse Childhood Experiences were common. They tended to occur together. And finally the higher the number of them an individual was exposed to the more predictive they were of future health, social and behavioral problems. Subsequent studies have confirmed these findings and continue to expand our understanding of the prevalence of exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences across different populations and geography. InterventionThe strong links to future health, social and behavioral problems has called attention to the need for interventions to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences and to treat individuals that already have an exposure to them. Interventions are being implemented in education, criminal justice, social services and many other areas. Some pediatricians are screening mothers and kids to identify risks and vulnerabilities or to understand behavior problems. Many schools focus on creating trauma-focused classrooms that help kids calm their nervous systems in order to allow them to focus on learning. ConclusionThese exposures can become signposts or “witness marks” to point us toward where attention and treatment are needed to reduce future risks     RESOURCES: (https://www.therapistuncensored.com/resources/) Additional resources for this episode: ACES: Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/acestudy/) Once you have your ACES Score, go here to understand what it means.
