The Spanish Football Association has announced a new programme that will make fertility treatments such as IVF and egg freezing available to female players and referees, but what difference will it make and how does this move compare to support offered for professional sportswomen globally? Margie Davenport, Professor in Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation at the University of Alberta and retired Team Canada synchronized swimmer explains. Three kinds of heart attacks that primarily affect women have been redesignated 'primary' attacks in an effort to improve diagnosis and treatment in an area of medicine where women have historically been 'deprioritised'. BBC health reporter Philippa Roxby explains the changes.In rural Rwanda dust is hard to escape - it's on the roads, in the fields, and for those living in homes with bare-earth floors, it's dusty inside too. This has serious effects on air quality in the home, especially for children who are playing or crawling on the ground. Our reporter Ahishakiye Jean d'Amour is in Bugesera district in the east of Rwanda to find out about an organisation called Earth Enable who have developed a safer flooring at an affordable price.

In this video, we look at food from a spiritual and energetic perspective, going beyond the ordinary culinary experience and exploring the relationship between food, consciousness, life force, gratitude, morality, and the intelligence of the body.This is not a cooking video. Instead, we explore some of the less obvious dimensions of eating and preparing food.We look at the difference between what might be considered “high-vibe” and “low-vibe” food, including cleanliness, intention, prasad, the consciousness of the person preparing the food, and the possible energetic components that go beyond the chemical and nutritional makeup of what we eat.We also explore:✨ High-vibe vs. low-vibe food✨ Prasad and food prepared with love and devotion✨ The difference between the chemical and energetic aspects of food✨ Sprouted foods, Essene bread and life force✨ Ghee and the astral/life-force component of food✨ Breatharian concepts and different forms of life force✨ The energetic cost of digestion✨ Morality, suffering and the consciousness associated with food✨ Meat, vegetarian food and the question of karma✨ Gratitude toward the beings and plants that give their bodies to us✨ Why wasting food may have a deeper karmic dimension✨ Developing body intelligence and learning to listen to what your body actually wants✨ Kinesiology and testing food✨ Quality over quantity✨ Eating slowly and paying attention to texture, flavor and emotions✨ Vitamins, enzymes, minerals and life force✨ Why raw or minimally processed food may retain more vitality✨ Cooking as an energetic and spiritual practice✨ How the vibration and emotional state of the cook can affect the food✨ Food blessings, offerings and placing food within a divine blueprint✨ Using a pendulum or yes/no testing to explore the vibration of food✨ Gratitude, humming, love and intention while preparing foodAnd perhaps most importantly:What happens when eating becomes a conscious relationship rather than simply consuming something?Food can become an act of gratitude, communion, creativity and even a form of spiritual practice.Take whatever resonates with you and leave the rest.
What if the thing designed to make your life better was also quietly surfacing everything you've been avoiding? That's exactly what Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegman... co-founders of Focused Life-Force Energy.... came back to TSM to explore.If you caught their first episode, you already know the origin story. This is not that conversation. In this return visit, we go considerably deeper into what FLFE actually is at its core... a high-consciousness field they call the Love Zone... and how it works using the Scale of Consciousness as its calibration framework.Clayten walks us through what it actually takes to do a consciousness calibration. and corrects the record live on air; it's not five million calibrations... it's eleven million. And counting.We cover:What the Love Zone actually is... and why the level of 550 on the scale represents unconditional loveHow muscle testing really works as a tool for measuring consciousness, including why only about 15% of people can do it reliably and how hydration, bias, and the precision of your statement all affect your resultsThe "UI" moment; when Will and Karen reframe kinesiology as prompting the original AI; Universal Intelligence... and why that might be the most accurate description of what's actually happeningThe manufacturing company story; Jeffrey describes activating FLFE in his business without telling anyone... and watching gossip drop to almost nothing while team coordination improved dramaticallyThe Two Brothers story; one of the most remarkable subscriber testimonials you'll ever hear, involving two young boys, a very quiet house, and a moment their mother called the biggest miracle of her lifeThe WWII concentration camp project; FLFE's early service work clearing geopathic stress and trauma from the land at Holocaust sites in Poland and GermanyWhat 11 million calibrations taught Clayten about humans... and what he does with 20,000 of them every single month just to maintain the serviceThe consent question; what happens to the people in your field who never opted in, and why Jeffrey says free will is always primaryThe nutritional piece; what your body actually needs to keep rising in a high-consciousness environment, including why copper, magnesium, and essential fatty acids matter more than you might thinkNeighborhoods; how one subscriber's FLFE field can ripple out to the people next door. and why low-consciousness neighbors tend to either move out or start hosting potlucksWhether you felt something during their first episode or you're brand new to Focused Life-Force Energy, this conversation is going to surprise you.

Live from Spirit Fest at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Will and Karen sit down with medical intuitive Picasso Roberts. She explains how she reads the body's "dis-ease" through a mental-emotional lens, why she never diagnoses or prescribes, and the three words she tells every client to remember when a feeling that surfaces isn't actually theirs to carry. Picasso also opens up about her path into the work at 40, her connection to Edgar Cayce's legacy in Virginia Beach, and what it really costs energetically to tune into another person's frequency for a living.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

Dr. Ben Skutnik, PhD, CSCS*D, NSCA-CPT*D, is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Human Performance Lab Director at Butler University and Head of Nutrition Coaching at Power Athlete. Dr. Ben Skutnik joins the show to separate fact from fad in aerobic training, debunking zone 2 hype and explaining why VO2 max matters but isn't everything. Expect to learn why reading scientific literature is its own skill, how uncontrolled variables quietly derail hypertrophy and menstrual-cycle training research, why treating people as fragile backfires, why anecdote in human performance often outruns the research, how "closing the loop" with clients beats chasing mechanisms, what the Norwegian 4x4 method gets right (and what most zone 2 research gets wrong about training zones), and how to actually build VO2 max with the critical power model, and much more.

What does it take to build a genuinely integrated high-performance programme? This week, Richard Graves is joined by Dr Trevor Short, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Health, Wellness and Performance at Utah State University. Trevor explains how Utah State is bringing sports science, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, nutrition and mental wellness together around three shared objectives: athlete availability, performance development and readiness to compete. The conversation explores why alignment must come before data, how monitoring should respond to the questions coaches are actually asking, and why collecting more information does not automatically lead to better decisions. Trevor also discusses the challenge of balancing performance development with athlete availability, adapting thresholds to the demands of the season and communicating the same evidence differently to coaches and senior leaders. This is a practical discussion about designing high-performance systems in which every intervention has a purpose, departments work beyond their traditional silos and the athlete remains at the centre of decision-making. In this episode you will learn Why athlete availability, performance and readiness can be competing objectives How Utah State is integrating its performance, medical, nutrition and mental wellness teams Why alignment with coaches should come before collecting data How to build monitoring systems around meaningful performance questions Why readiness flags must be interpreted within the context of the season How multidisciplinary teams can make better decisions for individual athletes Why the same information should be communicated differently to coaches and administrators How standard operating procedures can make performance systems more consistent and measurable Why leadership, culture and trust matter as much as technology How integrated athlete support can increase a team's chances of winning About Trevor Short Dr Trevor Short is Senior Associate Athletics Director for Health, Wellness and Performance at Utah State University, where he oversees sports medicine, strength and conditioning, sports nutrition, mental wellness and sports performance. Before joining Utah State, Trevor worked as a performance and sports scientist at the University of Hawai‘i, supporting sports science provision across its intercollegiate programmes. His career has also included strength and conditioning, applied research, university teaching, private-sector performance coaching and operational leadership. Trevor holds a PhD in Kinesiology and is a Certified Performance and Sport Scientist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA. His work focuses on integrated high-performance systems, athlete monitoring and the use of evidence to improve athlete availability, readiness and performance.

En médecine traditionnelle chinoise, le corps humain fonctionne en résonance directe avec la nature. Alors que notre calendrier occidental associe l'automne au mois de septembre, la médecine chinoise situe le début de cette transition dès le 7 août. Cette période marque l'entrée dans la saison du Métal, un temps physiologique et énergétique dédié à l'intériorisation, au bilan et au retour à l'essentiel.Prescillia Karoutchi, thérapeute de l'habitat et kinésiologue, explique que les ressentis actuels ne relèvent pas d'un simple coup de blues de rentrée. Une fatigue différente, un besoin spontané de ralentir ou une furieuse envie de ranger vos espaces sont les manifestations biologiques de ce changement de cycle.À travers la kinésiologie, Prescillia Karoutchi observe comment le corps exprime ce décalage saisonnier. Lutter contre ces besoins naturels génère des tensions musculaires, du stress et des blocages énergétiques au niveau des organes associés au Métal. Parallèlement, en tant que thérapeute de l'habitat, elle rappelle que notre maison reflète notre état intérieur : certains espaces entrent en résonance directe avec cette énergie automnale.Pour accompagner cette transition en douceur, écoutez l'intelligence de votre corps. Prenez un moment cette semaine pour trier un tiroir, désencombrer une pièce ou alléger votre quotidien. Ce geste concret permet de libérer de l'espace chez vous tout en allégeant votre charge mentale intérieure.Chinese Medicine: Why We Have Already Been in Autumn Since August 7thIn Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human body operates in direct harmony with the natural world. While Western calendars mark the arrival of autumn in late September, Chinese medicine recognizes this seasonal transition as early as August 7th. This shift introduces the Metal element, a unique physiological and energetic period devoted to turning inward, letting go, and refocusing on what truly matters.Prescillia Karoutchi, home therapist and kinesiologist, explains that what you are feeling right now is not merely a post-summer slump. Experiencing a distinct type of fatigue, a subtle urge to slow down, or a sudden impulse to organize your living space are all natural biological responses to this ancient seasonal cycle.Through kinesiology, Prescillia Karoutchi highlights how the body physically manifests resistance to this seasonal shift. Fighting these natural needs can create muscle tension, stress, and energetic blockages related to the organs tied to the Metal element. Furthermore, as a home therapist, she emphasizes that our living environment mirrors our internal state, with specific areas of the home echoing this autumn energy.To support your body through this transition, honor your natural instincts. Take time this week to declutter a room, organize a drawer, or simplify your space. Clearing physical surroundings creates immediate clarity, allowing you to release emotional weight and restore balance within.

If you've ever wondered why the amount of recess or PE your students get seems to depend entirely on which school, district, or state they happen to be in, two new studies from Dr. Chad Killian (University of New Hampshire) and his School Health Map collaborators put hard numbers behind that frustration. I talked with Chad on the podcast about both papers, and the findings should matter to anyone standing in a gym or a statehouse.Papers Featured in This EpisodePaper 1: Killian, C. M., D'Agostino, E.

Working with clients we often discover imbalances such as differences in strength and mobility between the sides, discoordinated movement patterns or misalignments. Creating a more balanced body can decrease joint stress, improve performance and decrease pain. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss ways to work toward balance through modifying repetitions, changing resistance, mental focus and changing daily habits. We get asked about this all the time so here are a few strategies for you to try.Moving Conversation Socials Email: movingconvos@gmail.comIG: @movingconvosFB: Moving ConversationsYoutube: @BrianRicheyBrianIG: @fit4lifedcFB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/NoraIG: nora.s.john.7FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-conversations/id1669504158?i=1000650467168 https://open.spotify.com/show/6cmgm8T0ZiC5wu6yhXrw9g#movingconversations
The myth that aerobic conditioning steals your strength is the exact reason most experienced lifters hit an early plateau and stay chronically beat up. From running high-volume CrossFit boxes to completing a PhD in Kinesiology, Jason Brown realized that rigid, maximal-effort splits were wrecking real-world athletes who lacked the autonomic recovery to handle constant strain. By pairing full-body Conjugate rotations with targeted low-intensity conditioning, he reverse-engineered a minimum-effective-dose system that expands work capacity while protecting long-term durability. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Concurrent vs. Conjugate: The sports science definition versus Westside's real-world, in-the-trenches application. The Interference Effect: Why targeted aerobic work builds underlying recovery mechanisms instead of stealing strength and muscle gains. Full-Body vs. Split Routines: The three-day structural shift that improves program adherence for stressed lifters. Minimum Effective Dose: Why four to six strategically selected exercises can outperform high-volume fatigue traps. Autonomic Stress Regulation: How to leverage heart rate metrics to auto-regulate training when life caps your ability to handle additional strain. MEET THE GUEST Jason Brown is a Westside Barbell Special Strengths Coach, CSCS, author of Lower-Body Training, and Kinesiology PhD candidate. A combat veteran and former CrossFit affiliate owner who has programmed for tens of thousands of athletes worldwide, Brown specializes in refining Conjugate principles to build maximum work capacity, real-world performance, and longevity for lifelong lifters.

In this episode of O&P Rising, recorded live at the 52nd Academy Annual Meeting in Nashville, guest host Emily Dinelli, PhD, MPO, CPO, a research assistant with the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, welcomes Fanny Schultea, MS, MSEd, CPO, LP, FAAOP(D), executive director of the Live in Motion Foundation, and Graci Finco, PhD, CPO, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Texas Christian University, for a conversation about defining and improving healthcare quality in orthotics and prosthetics. They explore AHRQ's six domains of quality, including safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity and patient centeredness, and explain why quality extends beyond outcome measures and is increasingly important as healthcare moves toward value-based care. The conversation highlights the role patients, clinicians, researchers, educators, manufacturers and other stakeholders play in advancing quality, as well as how clinics can make better use of the data they already collect to drive continuous improvement and address inequities. Schultea and Finco also discuss the return on investment of quality initiatives, why practices can start small by focusing on a single measure or domain, and opportunities for O&P professionals to pursue formal training in healthcare quality through fellowship funding from the Live in Motion Foundation. O&P Rising is produced by Association Briefings.

In this conversation, Ari Whitten and I go straight to the cellular level to answer a question most of cardiology never asks: where does your energy actually come from, and what happens to your heart when it runs low? Ari walks through the work of Dr. Robert Naviaux and the ‘cell danger response,' the idea that your mitochondria are constantly reading the environment and deciding whether to make energy or switch into defense mode. Stressors like toxins, junk food, poor sleep, and chronic psychological stress push them toward defense, and that shift shows up as fatigue, oxidative stress, and inflammation, the same drivers I see underneath so much heart disease.From there, we get practical. Ari breaks down why how you breathe matters as much as how much you move, how a simple breath-hold test reflects your body's oxygen delivery, and why 20 to 30 minutes of daily movement may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your heart. It all comes back to what I teach every day: Eat Well, Live Well, Think Well. Give your cells what they were designed for, and your energy and your heart tend to follow.- - - - -About the Guest:Ari Whitten, MS, is the founder of The Energy Blueprint and one of the most respected evidence-based voices on fatigue, energy, and mitochondrial health.

You don't have to shrink to belong. You don't have to choose just one gift. The obstacles you see? They're not as final as you've been told.In this episode of Women Awakening, Cynthia James sits down with Diane Rose Kelly, visionary singer-songwriter, producer, writer, poet, speaker, and 6-time Hall of Fame athlete, to talk about the mindset behind her memoir, There Is No Goalie. Diane Rose scored 128 goals in college soccer not by being fearless, but by refusing to give the goalie her attention. That same philosophy has driven everything since: the music, the coaching, the 100+ songs, the stages shared with Gavin DeGraw, Train, and Melissa Etheridge.Diane Rose opens up about faith as a lived practice not a belief system to study, but a presence to embody. She and Cynthia share deeply personal spiritual moments and explore what it looks like when women stop waiting for permission and start leading from the inside out.You've been told to pick a lane, to be realistic, and to manage your expectations.

Dr. David Szymanski, department chair and professor of Kinesiology at Louisiana Tech, charts the path that began in Chicago as a fine arts major, pivoted, and then took him through the ranks of collegiate baseball coaching. He highlights his transition from a professional baseball hopeful to a "professional professor," his pioneering research in baseball sport performance, and his role in expanding the University's kinesiology programs. He shares his passion for helping students figure out what they want to be when they grow up and gives the reasons why he considers kinesiology a versatile "renaissance degree" capable of opening doors to everything from allied health fields to Major League Baseball.

The illusion of world-class strength is built on rigid programming—but the truth is that strict protocols are often what cause elite lifters to plateau or break. Long before he was known as The Swolefessor, Marcellus Williams discovered that textbook biomechanics and conventional gym culture rarely produced championship-level results. By combining a formal education in kinesiology with advanced athlete psychology, he uncovered a hidden variable in human performance that transformed talented lifters into world champions. In this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Marcellus explains why adaptability—not rigidity—is the true key to long-term strength success. In This Episode The Adaptability Paradox – Why changing a program mid-cycle can be the key to breaking plateaus instead of breaking the athlete. Psychological Profiling – How understanding a lifter's mindset before they touch the barbell impacts performance, execution, and retention. Individualized Mechanics – Why copying a world champion's technique is often a mistake and how to build a technical model that fits the individual. Managing Large Coaching Rosters – The systems and processes behind successfully coaching more than 80 lifters without sacrificing elite-level results. Meet the Guest Marcellus Williams is an elite powerlifting coach, educator, and co-founder of Powerlifting Now. Known throughout the industry as The Swolefessor, he combines a degree in Kinesiology with advanced athlete psychology to coach more than 80 active lifters. His coaching résumé includes 4 IPF World Champions and 14 National Champions.

Dr. Stroope is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology at Louisiana State University. Stroope's research includes three overlapping areas: co-benefits of active transportation, public health approaches to increasing rural physical activity, and access to nature, with an overarching interest in how physical activity contributes to community thriving. Stroope is on the leadership team for the Physical Activity Policy, Research, and Evaluation Network (PAPREN) Rural Hub and serves on the Dissemination and Translation Board for the U Mass Prevention Research Center. Before joining the LSU School of Kinesiology, she spent ten years working for Cooperative Extension, with most of those years serving as the LSU AgCenter's physical activity specialist. In that role, she partnered with Extension agents, small towns, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, rural librarians, schools and other community partners to increase access to physical activity, with a particular focus on helping communities pursue funding for active transportation infrastructure. Description In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob sits down with Dr. Jessica Stroope to discuss how communities can be designed to support healthier, more active lives. Drawing from her experiences in public health, Cooperative Extension, and community-based research, Jessica explores the powerful role that active transportation, access to nature, and the built environment play in shaping physical activity behaviors. She shares lessons learned from working with rural communities, transportation departments, schools, libraries, and local leaders to create environments where movement is a natural part of everyday life. The conversation highlights how seemingly small environmental changes can have a meaningful impact on health outcomes, why partnerships across sectors are essential, and how community design influences far more than physical activity alone. Whether you're interested in public health, community development, or simply creating places where people can thrive, this episode offers practical insights into building more accessible and active communities.

Alright my geeky horse people, this one's for you! No season would be complete without an episode with Elisse Miki of Equilibria Therapeutics. We promised to do a podcast on each of the osteopathic principles, and it may take us a minute but we're going to make it happen. Elisse came for a visit to the farm and we just had to sit down for a conversation unpacking the osteopathic principle of autoregulation, what it means for our horses, how it shows up in every day experiences and how to interpret these experiences through an osteopathic lens. This one was recorded a few months back, when Reykur was just finding solid ground with his health, but was still wobbly so we definitely looked at how this principle relates to rehabilitation and illlness. You'll be happy to know that as of the publishing of this episode he seems to have turned a good corner and is staying more stable with more vitality. We also got into the story of Gwynna's rehabilitation and how this principle played a role, and how much a supoortive environment supports a return to homeostasis. Enjoy! As a human and equine therapist with over 15 years of experience working with clients in a therapeutic setting, Elisse Miki brings a wide variety of modalities into her practice. She began her career working as an Exercise Physiologist having completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology then went on to obtain her Registered Massage Therapy Licence. She has since gone on to complete Diplomas in Equine Therapy, Equine Craniosacral, and is currently in the process of completing her Equine Osteopathy Diploma. Her current focus lies in research and development of current standards of practice in the equine industry. Elisse hosts clinics for horse owners and will be offering continuing education courses for existing health care professionals and equine therapists starting in January 2020.
