Have you been diagnosed with candida overgrowth — but you're frustrated that your treatments haven't work? Have you not been diagnosed, but all your symptoms — bloating, brain fog, sugar cravings, skin flares, even recurring yeast infections or UTIs — keep pointing you back to candida?Or have you treated candida before… felt better during the protocol… and then watched everything slowly creep back in and thought, “Why is this happening again?” If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you. Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not. Today's topic is: candida. My hope is that this episode blows your mind and helps you to completely rewire how you think about candida. If you get today's episode, you will understand everything you need to to In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating candida directly - with diet changes, cleanses, or supplements - so often doesn't work (and ends up with you doing it again and again)The real root causes that drive candida to overgrow in the first placeWhy different people have totally different sets of candida causes underneath the surfaceWhat testing can actually help you map the problem correctlyAnd what you need to do so candida doesn't just disappear for a month… and then take over again And one more thing — I'm doing something new for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals.

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things… and it still doesn't feel like enough? In this warm, honest episode, Allie interviews author, speaker, and neuroscience coach Robyn Graham, who gets real about perfectionism—where it comes from, why it shows up so strongly for so many girls and women, and how it quietly messes with our mental health, relationships, and even our faith. If you've ever struggled with the pressure to "keep it together," look a certain way, or perform your way into being worthy… you're not alone. Together, they unpack the roots of perfectionism (hello, culture and social media), what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system when you're stuck in overdrive, and why calming your body is a huge part of healing your mind. You'll also walk away with practical tools—like small mindset shifts and simple language changes—that can help you step out of the exhausting cycle of striving. This conversation is full of grace, truth, and deep exhale energy—a reminder that you don't have to earn rest, love, or wholeness. You're allowed to be human… and still be held.

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity There's a moment many women reach in midlife where things don't feel wrong but they don't feel right either. Digestion changes. Bloating appears out of nowhere. Sleep feels lighter. Inflammation lingers. And no one ever told us these systems might all be connected. I sat down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert, to talk about a topic that is still vastly underexplored in women's health: the gut microbiome during perimenopause and menopause.   So many women are told their digestive symptoms, inflammation, mood changes, or recurrent infections are just "part of aging." What Cynthia makes clear is that these experiences are deeply rooted in physiology and that when we understand what's happening, we're no longer powerless. This conversation matters because it replaces dismissal with clarity and fear with context. We examine how this topic shows up in daily life: - Why declining estrogen affects gut barrier integrity, immune response, and inflammation - How "leaky gut" can contribute to bone loss, autoimmune risk, and metabolic changes - The connection between gut health, mood, anxiety, and neurotransmitter signaling - Why fiber and short-chain fatty acids become more important in perimenopause and menopause - How fermented foods can support microbiome diversity and recovery after stress, illness, or antibiotics - The gut–vaginal microbiome connection and why improving one can support the other - How chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can accelerate hormonal aging and menopause timing   About Cynthia Thurlow: Cynthia Thurlow, NP is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting expert, and educator specializing in women's health, hormones, and longevity. Her work bridges functional and conventional medicine, with a focus on helping women understand the physiological changes of perimenopause and menopause through a science-based, compassionate lens.

Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Welcome back to REBEL MIND, where MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. Here we sharpen the person behind the practitioner by focusing on things that improve our performance, optimizing team dynamics and the human behavior that embodies the hidden curriculum of medicine. In this episode, hosted by Drs. Mark Ramzy and Marco Propersi, we’re excited to introduce a collaboration with Arena Labs. Arena Labs is helping us measure healthcare performance through innovative programs designed to combat burnout and enhance personal wellness using data-driven strategies.  Cognitive Question What would it look like in emergency medicine and critical care to be set up with the same tools as elite teams and professional athletes when it comes to measuring performance and recovery? How would our patients benefit? 💭 Why This is Important Burnout among healthcare workers is a growing concern, especially in such high-pressure environments as emergency and intensive care units. The collaboration with Arena Labs brings forth a vital focus on using data and coaching to build resilience among medical professionals. 🌟Be Brilliant at the Basics Ask yourself — “What is it on your time off that gives you a deep sense of fulfillment?”On your time off are you doing things that fill your bucket and add to your recovery? What is Allostasis and Allostatic Load Allostasis: Our body’s ability to adapt over time to stress. It’s relevant to the phase you are in during this particular season in your life. Ex. You are a first year medical student freaking out about your very first exam. Over time as you do more exams, they are still stressful, but by now you have developed modified study habits to succeed and get used to the frequent examsIn the context of emergency medicine, you may be nervous or stressed about your first shift at a new hospital but overtime you learn the staff, the location of equipment, the acuity of that particular site, the patient population so over time you get used to the stress of a shift at that new hospitalAllostatic Load: The wear and tear on the body from chronic stress due to maladaptation or poor recovery methods.This refers to the cumulative burden of chronic stress and life events. It involves the interaction of different physiological systems at varying degrees of activity.Ex. You are an emergency medicine physician at a very busy, high acuity center and have never prioritized taking care of yourself on/during a shift. As a result, external factors add to not being able to fully recover when you get home or are off shift (ie. Admin work, teaching obligations, family/friends) and so you never fully recover before you have to go back on shift to the same stressors you just exposed yourself to. So the cycle continuesFigure 1: Long term effects of Chronic Stress (Source: Andrew Hogue from NeuroFit) 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? Healthcare workers in emergency departments (ED) and intensive care units (ICU) are often under enormous stress due to the nature of their work. Arena Labs’ program offers tailored solutions, helping ED and ICU staff manage their unique challenges through effective recovery techniques and performance tools. This approach caters specifically to the demanding schedules and the unpredictability inherent in these environments. 👀 Where to Learn More Intrigued by the possibilities this partnership offers? You can explore more by visiting Arena Labs’ website here. Also, check out the comprehensive coaching program available, designed specifically for healthcare providers looking to enhance their well-being and performance. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line In an era where burnout is pervasive, our collaboration with Arena Labs offers a beacon of hope for healthcare workers. By leveraging cutting-edge data insights and practical coaching, this partnership aims to redefine healthcare wellness, fostering a sustainable, resilient workforce that’s equipped to navigate the pressures of modern medicine. Join us in this journey towards enhanced well-being and workforce empowerment, ensuring that those who care for us are also cared for. 📚References Guidi J, et al.Allostatic Load and Its Impact on Health: A Systematic Review.

Notes Matthew 4:12-23 Isaiah 9:1-4 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler delve into the Gospel reading from Matthew 4:12-23, which recounts the calling of the fishermen. They explore the significance of Jesus' call to Simon Peter and Andrew, as well as James and John, emphasizing the differences in the Gospel narratives. The discussion highlights the socio-political context of Galilee, where Jesus begins his ministry amid Roman oppression, and the implications of being 'fishers of men' as a call to advocate for justice rather than mere evangelism. The hosts also touch on the upcoming readings from Isaiah and 1 Corinthians, drawing connections between the texts and contemporary issues of division within the church and society. Takeaways Jesus's call to the fishermen is immediate and transformative. The Gospels present different perspectives on the same events. The arrest of John the Baptist serves as a catalyst for Jesus's ministry. Church divisions can distract from the core message of unity in Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven challenges existing power structures.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you're constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won't resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven't been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely worksThe real causes of slow gut motilityHow to test for these root causes of low motilityAnd what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturallyIf you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Slow Motility 00:34 - Understanding Real Root Causes 01:00 - Common Misdiagnoses and Misconceptions 02:01 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Deep Dive into Slow Motility 07:46 - Symptoms and Related Conditions 09:04 - Root Causes of Slow Motility 13:43 - Digestive Enzymes and Their Importance 17:34 - Visceral Adhesions Explained 20:32 - Understanding Myofascial and Visceral Adhesions 21:44 - Finding a Qualified Practitioner for Visceral Manipulation 22:32 - Self-Evaluation Techniques for Visceral Adhesions 23:21 - The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Motility 25:35 - Mold and Its Impact on Gut Health 27:56 - Other Pathogens Affecting Gut Motility 29:34 - Nutrient Deficiencies and Constipation 31:04 - Food Sensitivities and Inflammation 32:41 - Thyroid Issues and Slow Motility 34:49 - Comprehensive Testing and Protocols 38:13 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:235// SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail

If you think storytelling is just for the stage, think again. In this week's episode of Consulting Matters, I sat down with not one but two former Disney executives—brothers Bob and Rick Allen—who know the real power of story: not just to entertain, but to lead, influence, and change minds. Their Disney roots run deep (102 years combined, starting with their dad, who worked alongside Walt himself). But what they reveal goes far beyond theme parks and parades. Tune-in To Hear: Why story—not data—is the consultant's real superpower A behind-the-scenes look at how Disney embeds story into everything (including spreadsheets) The 6 storytelling elements every coach and consultant should master Why does how you share your ideas matter more than how smart your ideas are How to use story to influence even the most results-driven executives And yes, we swap some epic Disney tales, from launching resorts like Animal Kingdom Lodge to transforming a Disney division into a private company (and surviving 9/11 with a Navy contract!). If you love Disney, storytelling - or just want to coach and consult with more meaning - this episode is a must-listen. Chapters: 01:32 Disney Family Legacy and Its Impact 16:46 From Disney to Entrepreneurship 23:30 The Power of Storytelling 39:14 Engaging Through Anecdotes 43:54 Influencing Through Connection 56:32 Zenovation: Merging Mindfulness and Innovation 01:00:00 Tales of Mouse and Men: Insights from Disney 01:02:20 Building a Collaborative Network Next Steps: Notice where your message stops landing: Pay attention to the moments where you explain what you do, but people still look unsure. That is often a sign that the story is missing, not the expertise. Start with the picture before the process: In your next conversation or proposal, describe what changes when the work is successful before explaining how you get there. Stories help people see themselves in the outcome. Get support clarifying your message: If this episode made you realize you need help communicating the value of what you do, I created a free messaging guide to help. It includes four simple questions designed to help you move from confused to confident, with messaging that makes the right clients say, “Where have you been? I need you.” Download it here: https://www.betsyjordyn.com/confused-to-confident Other episodes you may enjoy: How to Shape What Clients Think You're Worth with Casey Brown (Ep143) Inside My Brand Messaging Process (and Why It Always Works) (Ep140) The Curse of Knowledge: Why Your Expertise Might Be Hurting Your Message (Ep139) About my guests: Rick Allen began his Disney career sweeping the streets of Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom, a role that launched a 43-year journey with Walt Disney World. Over the course of his career, Rick spent 24 years in executive leadership across theme parks and resort hotels, served on the grand opening team for Disneyland Paris, and led the operations design and opening of Disney's Art of Animation Resort. After retiring from Disney, Rick served as Chief Operating Officer for Give Kids The World and later as COO for the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games. He now consults with organizations in hospitality and experience design and serves on the board of Shepherd's Hope, a nonprofit providing free healthcare to the uninsured in Central Florida. Rick is passionate about unleashing the power of inspiration to elevate customer experience. Bob Allen is the Chief Storytelling Officer at IDEAS and brings decades of creative leadership from across Disney's entertainment and production legacy. He began his career in the entertainment industry as a musician at 16 and went on to hold key roles in Disneyland's Live Entertainment division, contributing to major productions including the Main Street Electrical Parade. Bob later worked as a writer and producer with Walt Disney Imagineering, helping develop attractions for EPCOT, and went on to lead film, tape, and multimedia production for Tokyo Disneyland. After relocating to Walt Disney World, Bob held senior leadership roles including Director of Film and Tape Production and Vice President of Disney Production Services, overseeing creative operations at Disney-MGM Studios. Today, Bob focuses on concept development, experience design, and branding, helping organizations harness the power of story to create meaningful, memorable experiences. About the host: Betsy Jordyn is a business mentor, brand messaging strategist, and former Disney consultant who helps purpose-driven consultants and coaches build profitable businesses rooted in their unique strengths. With over 20 years in the industry and a knack for turning big ideas into clear positioning, she's your go-to for strategy that aligns with your calling. And together, we're gonna have a conversation about what storytelling really is, why it matters so much more than most consultant-coaches realize, and how to use it to elevate your influence and impact.

In this engaging conversation, Michael sits down with Colin MB Cooper to explore the intersection of human behavior, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Colin shares how his lifelong curiosity for technology began at age 13 when he disassembled his father's computer, sparking a passion that now informs his work blending neuroscience and AI. Together, they reflect on decades of rapid technological change and the unique skillset Colin brings to understanding it. Declining Workforce Competencies in Younger Generations Michael and Colin discuss an emerging concern: the decline in critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity among young professionals entering the workforce. Drawing on Michael's experience hiring over a thousand employees and Colin's global hiring experience, they highlight a growing gap between what schools teach and what businesses require. Both note that increased reliance on LLMs may be accelerating this divide, raising important questions about the future of work and education. Technology Dependence and the Erosion of Critical Thinking The conversation turns to society's increasing dependence on technology. Michael shares stories from his early career teaching new hires basic computer skills and even using games like Solitaire to enhance productivity. They discuss how global internet outages could disrupt daily life and why fostering critical thinking and curiosity is essential in today's uncertain environment. AI's Rapid Integration and Its Impact on the Workforce Colin outlines the challenges organizations face as AI outpaces human adaptation. In education, technology is moving faster than teachers can adjust, and in the corporate world, AI-first strategies are leading to hiring freezes and the automation of repetitive work. He emphasizes a human-centered AI model that increases capability rather than replacing people. Real examples from healthcare and customer service highlight how AI can elevate human performance. Colin encourages listeners to upskill using free AI courses from providers like Google and OpenAI. AI's Transformational Potential in Healthcare Michael explores one of the most promising AI applications: healthcare. Drawing from his primary care leadership background, he discusses how clinicians spend excessive time on documentation rather than patient care. Colin agrees that AI could revolutionize healthcare workflows, lightening administrative burdens and improving patient outcomes, though both acknowledge the importance of safeguarding security and privacy. Technology Behaviors: From Customer Service Hacks to Alexa in Schools Michael shares a practical tip about selecting different language options to reduce customer service wait times, then recalls a story of students misusing Alexa devices to order products without permission. It's a humorous yet telling example of how quickly technology becomes woven into daily life. Generational Differences in Adapting to Technology To close the episode, Michael and Colin reflect on how older generations developed strong problem-solving skills due to limited access to support in their early tech experiences, while younger generations depend more heavily on constant connectivity. They discuss the vulnerability of this dependency, highlighted by the recent Cloudflare outage. Colin emphasizes that while technology will keep evolving, adaptability and resilience will determine how well society keeps pace. Colin invites listeners to explore more of his work on his website and continue the conversation on the future of human capability in an AI-driven world. https://colinmbcooper.com/ Welcome to this episode, where we sit down with Colin Cooper—a globally recognized high-performance business expert, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist with over two decades of experience working with clients across 38 countries and hundreds of industries.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Generation That Got Wiped Out: DEI's War on White Men

DEI killed meritocracy—and white men in America have paid the price. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down a recent, controversial article from Compact Magazine, which examines how white males have been increasingly excluded from fields like entertainment, journalism, and academia over the past several decades. Hanson explores the effects of early affirmative action, post-George Floyd hiring practices, and who bears responsibility for these changes on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I do blame the older white hierarchy, mostly liberal professors, liberal journalists, liberal directors, liberal actors, liberal screenwriters. They all had nice cushy jobs. They earned them. Then they decided in their utopian generosity that they were going to admit people into their guilds without the same criterion that they had had because it made them feel better. “In other words, they didn't accept Tom Sowell's or Shelby Steele's advice or Jason Riley's that says, when you do that, you're going to encourage mediocrity and opportunist, and you're going to deprecate the work of African Americans or Hispanics that are very talented. But that's what you're going to do just to gratify your own sense of ego and shame. And that's exactly what happened.” (0:00) Introduction (0:21) Compact Article (0:57) Affirmative Action and Its Impact (2:50) Meritocracy Loss (4:12) Blame and Responsibility (5:54) Consequences of Lower Standards (7:07) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.
