What's the craziest thing you've ever done to bulk? Dave Crosland and Scott McNally look back at the extremes bodybuilders will go to in the pursuit of size — and how distorted your perception of your own body can become along the way. Then we get into your questions on a 15-year-old using Test, Tren and Mast, whether peptides are getting out of hand, post-cycle sexual performance, choosing a second compound with testosterone, whether different steroids actually build different-looking physiques, gaining muscle after massive weight loss, GLP-1s and muscle growth, testosterone-to-estrogen ratios, Arimidex, ephedrine and more. 0:00 Welcome to Drugs n Stuff 1:40 The Craziest Things We Did to Bulk 3:45 Bodybuilding & Distorted Body Image 9:00 15-Year-Old Using Test, Tren & Mast?! 10:30 Are Peptides Getting Out of Hand? 12:18 Will I Lose Bedroom Performance After My Cycle? 21:50 Best Second Compound to Add to Testosterone 24:00 Do Different Steroids Create Different Physiques? 28:00 Building Muscle After Massive Weight Loss 32:40 Do GLP-1 Drugs Reduce Muscle Gain? 36:00 Testosterone-to-Estrogen Ratios Explained 39:00 Caffeine & Vision Problems 41:45 Ephedrine in the US vs. UK 45:50 How Much Arimidex on 300–400mg Testosterone? 50:00 Australian Customs Are No Joke 54:10 Uncle Dave's Wisdom 1:04:40 What Would You Do in The Purge?

Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

Waziri Garuba, creator of G.R.I.O.T and CEO of HarlemLabs, talks about how he was inspired by the limitations of Siri and where the name for his custom AI persona, G.R.I.O.T, comes from. He  integrates several platforms including n8n.io, 11 Labs, Vercel, and it can be integrated with an LLM of choice, including Claude. The system operates using an agentic workflow where a central brain assesses inputs via webhooks. Incoming queries are classified into four categories: direct, tools, complex, or schedule-based to determine the appropriate routing. He explains how his agent can talk to the platforms. The First Automation Waziri describes how he built his first automation which was an auto email response maker designed to monitor Gmail every minute. The agent reviews unread messages and drafts responses in his specific writing style while logging actions in a spreadsheet. His current evolved system uses a contact map to identify known contacts and manages inbox organization through classification and labeling. Tracking Health and Fitness Waziri talks about how he uses G.R.I.O.T in his personal life. He calls it G.R.I.O.T in the Garage. Waziri utilizes a Notion database to track health reports and personal fitness goals. The G.R.I.O.T agent can access this data to design customized workouts and automatically add them to his calendar. He demonstrates how the agent can interact with his calendar to move appointments or set reminders based on terminal tasks. The Technical Landscape Waziri explains how G.R.I.O.T can integrate with many tools and finds the best tool for the job. The technical landscape consists of specialized sub-agents for platforms like Airtable, Google Drive, Monday, and Notion. These agents act as "appendages" that handle specific tasks such as searching files or managing relational databases. Waziri utilizes Tavily, an AI-driven search tool used by developers. It operates like Perplexity to help the agents find real-time information. Mobile Accessibility Waziri  interacts with G.R.I.O.T through Telegram, allowing him to send voice memos while on the go at the gym or traveling. This mobile interface enables him to delegate research, schedule follow-ups, or draft emails using simple spoken commands. He prefers Telegram over other messaging apps because it offers easier integration with n8n for building custom workflows. He explains how it helps him manage his emails, both incoming and backlog, and newsletters. The Finance Tools A dedicated suite of finance tools helps Waziri manage debt, income tracking, and expense reporting through QuickBooks and Google Sheets. The system implements a behavioral mechanism to automate saving ten percent of incoming funds into a separate account. One specific agent provides regular reports on interest rates for student loans and credit cards to help prioritize debt repayment strategies. Professional Services Waziri serves CEOs and high-level executives by helping them map out their operational needs before implementing AI tech stacks. He offers an eight-week course called the Operators Map at theoperatorsmap.com to teach governance and automation design. His business engagements focus on helping operators transition from manual processes to efficient, automated systems through HarlemLabs.com.

Friend, before you let that result define your whole journey, I need you to hear this.

Welcome to this special joint episode of the Hangar Z Podcast and the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, brought to you by HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor Plus.In this special episode, Jon Gray of Hangar Z and Blake Shrider and Mike Fadale of the Valor Flight Crew, preview the 2026 ECHO Public Safety Aviation Conference.High-quality public safety aviation training doesn't need a massive price tag. The 2026 ECHO Public Safety Aviation Conference is heading to Philadelphia Sept. 20 to 23 at the Sheraton Downtown.ECHO covers the full mission spectrum law enforcement aviation, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), search-and-rescue, and aerial firefighting.This year features over 50 breakout sessions, hands-on workshops like underwater egress and cadaver labs, and a dedicated 16-hour Airborne Tactical Solutions course jointly taught by Clay Lacey and Jack Schonely for aircrews and ground teams.It's practical, high-impact training—built by operators, for operators, and delivered at a price point agencies can support.This conversation breaks down why ECHO stands apart: Operator-built training, real-world relevance, and a rare chance to learn across every mission set under one roof. From law enforcement aviation and search-and-rescue to aerial firefighting, EMS, and tactical operations, ECHO is designed for crews who want practical skills they can use back home.You'll discover:What makes the Clay Lacey and Jack Shonely airborne tactical solutions course such a can't-miss opportunity;How the breakout sessions expand into law enforcement, SAR, radio ops, human performance, leadership, and more;Why the Future Flight Crew and Future Flight Leaders programs are becoming a pipeline for the next generation of aviation professionals; andHow FAST and the Safety Team are changing the way the industry supports crew wellness, resilience, and operational safety.The conversation also covers the social side of ECHO in Philadelphia, including the welcome party, the 5K fundraiser, the down-for-weather bash, and why the city itself is worth an extra day or two. If you've never been to Philly, you'll get a few solid reasons to plan for more than conference hours—and maybe a cheesesteak or two.Just as important, this episode makes the stakes clear: Public safety aviation is evolving fast, leadership gaps are real, and the industry needs better training, better mentorship, and better ways to take care of its people. ECHO is one of the few places where all of that comes together in a single week.Essential listening if you're deciding whether to attend, bringing your team, or just want a clear picture of why so many crews call ECHO their favorite conference of the year.Thank you to our sponsors CNC Technologies, Dallas Avionics and Metro Aviation.

Acute kidney injury is one of the most common complications seen in hospitalized patients, yet it's a topic that often leaves nursing students overwhelmed by lab values and terminology. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three types of AKI and showing you how to recognize the clues that help distinguish one from another. We'll talk through: - Common causes - Important assessment findings - Key lab values - Complications to watch for when kidney function begins to decline. We'll also review how urine output, fluid status, creatinine, BUN, potassium, and other findings fit together so you can stop memorizing isolated facts and start understanding the bigger picture. Nursing school gets easier when you have a system to help you identify what to focus on as you study, and to connect the dots so you can see that bigger picture. I get you started building that system in my free Nursing School Survival Blueprint, where I share the key shifts you can make which separate struggling students from thriving ones.

What if your low energy, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor recovery, mood changes, and stalled progress aren't simply signs that you need to work harder—but clues that your thyroid isn't functioning optimally? Dr. Amie Hornaman, author of The Thyroid Fix, joins us to explain why she considers the thyroid the body's "master gland" and why standard thyroid testing may not tell the entire story. They break down TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies; the difference between "normal" and optimal lab results; Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism; and when thyroid hormone replacement may be appropriate. Amie also explains how gluten, over-exercising, chronic under-eating, nutrient deficiencies and aggressive GLP-1 use may affect thyroid health and metabolism. Plus, she explains the importance of iodine, selenium, magnesium, protein and dietary fat, detoxification, and so much more!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter takes a deep dive into the liver and its central role in metabolic health. He explains why the liver can serve as a "canary in the coal mine" for metabolic dysfunction and explores how insulin resistance, visceral fat, alcohol consumption, genetics, and hormones contribute to liver disease, along with how increasing muscle mass can benefit liver health. Peter provides a framework for understanding the progression of liver disease, highlighting which stages are reversible and why early detection matters. He explains why normal liver enzymes can provide false reassurance, which labs he uses to assess liver health, and the tools available for detecting fibrosis and more advanced disease. Peter then breaks down the interventions that can meaningfully improve liver health once risk or disease is identified, ranging from diet and exercise to GLP-1–based therapies and other medications. Finally, he examines popular claims around liver "detoxification" and supplements, separating what is supported by evidence from what is unlikely to meaningfully improve liver health.

Hashimoto's, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalance — Sophie Shepherd, founder of She Talks Health and host of the She Talks Health Podcast, joins Freddie Kimmel to break down why "balancing your hormones" is usually the wrong starting point. A Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who works primarily with women navigating Hashimoto's, thyroid issues, and mystery symptoms like fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and brain fog, Sophie shares her own decade-long health story — from unexplained teenage digestive pain to a hypothyroid diagnosis dismissed as "normal labs" — and the path that led her out of theater and into functional medicine. The conversation covers hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing, why mineral balancing (especially copper, zinc, and manganese) can restore fertility and regulate cycles without directly touching hormones, the limits of hormone panels like the Dutch test for irregular cycles, and why chronic stress — emotional, physical, and environmental — is the upstream driver hiding behind most "hormone problems." Sophie and Freddie also get into red light therapy for thyroid inflammation, an honest take on cold plunging for women with Hashimoto's, subconscious rewiring tools like the quantum time technique, and a candid conversation about trust, bio-individuality, and the sponsorship-driven infighting in the health influencer space.

Welcome to the seventh episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today I'm joined by Coach Lindsay, and we're getting real about what's actually not working in the functional health space, even when practitioners mean well.  We break down five major red flags to watch for, starting with practitioners who don't address nutrition beyond a generic food list. We talk about why using supplements as a bandaid, without digging into the root cause, just becomes another quick fix that doesn't actually heal anything.  Coach Lindsay shares her own health journey, including how infrequent check ins with her provider left her feeling stuck and unsure of her progress.  We also get into why rigid diet plans can backfire by teaching your body to adapt rather than building real metabolic flexibility. And we can't talk about functional health without talking about training, so we cover why using the right training stimulus matters just as much as nutrition and supplements when it comes to hitting your goals.  If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why, and what a more complete approach to healing actually looks like. Lindsay brings so much heart and expertise to this conversation, and I know it's going to help so many of you see your own health journey differently.   Time Stamps:   (1:54) What's Not Working Within Functional Health (4:12) More Advanced Nutrition Concepts (8:09) Gut Health (9:02) Questions To Ask Your Practitioner (10:19) Supplements Are Band Aid Fix (15:37) Frequency of Communication (20:20) Flexibility With The Strategy (27:47) Training As A Stimulus ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to introduce you all to: MK ULTRA, MONARCH, human experimentation, dark lab, secret space program and human hybrid chimera survivor, overcomer, and whistleblower, published writer and author, and an incredible woman stepping forward to provide the reasons and the bigger picture; the War for Cosmic control: Anna Starfire In the vast tapestry of human resilience, few stories burn as fiercely or illuminate as profoundly as that of Anna Starfire - a human-hybrid chimera, a dark-lab survivor, and a fearless voice rising from the depths of secrecy to challenge the very fabric of our reality. Her life, forged in the crucible of unimaginable trials, stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that can transform profound suffering into a radiant force for truth and awakening. Through her gripping accounts in works like The Hybrid Project and Star Fire Disclosure, Anna has not only chronicled her extraordinary journey in a 3-part memoir, but has become a powerful advocate for survivors everywhere, empowering others to reclaim their narratives and confront the hidden forces that shape our world.Born into the enigmatic folds of the Illuminati and donated as an orphan into the shadowy corridors of secret military labs, Anna's early existence was claimed by programs far beyond ordinary comprehension. In the 1960s, as Nazi doctors were brought to Florida to advance the space program's clandestine ambitions, she became a living vessel for genetic experiments designed to enhance mind-control outcomes on both humans and animals. Surgically modified with brain-based implants for total mind and body control, she was known to her CIA handlers as Monarch 47 - or MK 47 for short. These interventions linked her artificial neural pathways to AI systems on satellites, military computer networks, and other strategic interests, while special tissues were harvested for cloning endeavors. She describes how autism vaccines served as gateways to brain implants, voice-to-skull technology, and sophisticated mind-control products - all woven into a larger War for Cosmic Control. Scientists reverse-engineered advanced technologies with the aid of Advanced Species, using subjects like Anna to push the boundaries of what it means to be human. Her experiences raised profound questions: Are humans being genetically engineered for greater compatibility with artificial life in the void of space? Contact with other Advanced Species punctuated her personal odyssey, offering glimpses into realities that stretch far beyond Earth's atmosphere. The secret space program's roots, she reveals, trace back to the aftermath of World War II, blooming into a network of experiments aimed at securing cosmic dominance through the fusion of human potential and extraterrestrial insight.Yet what elevates Anna from survivor to thriver is not merely the harrowing details of her testimony, but the transcendent power with which she has risen above them. In the face of systemic control that sought to redefine her very essence, she discovered an extraordinary capacity within her modified mind. Harnessing her artificial brain implants, she learned to hack satellites, turning the tools of her captivity into instruments of liberation and revelation. This act of defiance was not just technical brilliance; it was a profound declaration of sovereignty; a spark of human will that no implant or protocol could extinguish.Today, Anna shines as an awe-inspiring advocate whose courage inspires everyone she touches. Through The Hybrid Project, grounded in the true events of her life, Star Fire Disclosure, which unveils the nature of experiments conducted on human beings to unlock advanced technology, and MK ULTRA Dark Labs which describes how Nazi doctors were brought to Florida for the space program during the 1960's, she offers not only a synopsis of her path but a roadmap for healing and empowerment. She does not merely recount the bigger picture of cosmic conflict and genetic manipulation; she transforms it into a call for awareness, resilience, and collective awakening.In her story, we find not despair, but an invitation to rise, to question, and to honor the extraordinary resilience that dwells within us all. Her voice reminds us that even in the darkest laboratories of power, the human spirit can evolve into something greater: a hybrid of endurance and hope, capable of bridging worlds and reclaiming the stars.

Five signs of fatty liver that are easy to miss, because they look like ordinary life. Nurse Doza walks through low energy, weight around the midsection, a fast-food pattern, hormone symptoms, and gallbladder issues, and explains what each one suggests about the liver underneath. Plus the two labs worth asking your provider about, the foods that ease the load, and where to start. Nothing here is a diagnosis. Featured Product Liver Boost (Detox) — $111 Liver Boost is a comprehensive formula designed to support phase I and phase II liver detoxification, with nutrients that support your antioxidant systems and glutathione production. If this episode had you thinking about how much your liver handles in a day — fats, blood sugar, and everything your body needs to clear out — this is the formula built to support that work while you make the diet and lifestyle changes that move the needle. It is not a replacement for those changes.

The U.S. has no shortage of Emerging Technology and Defense Technology innovation, but getting that innovation into the hands of the Warfighter remains a challenge. As the pace of technological change accelerates, the Department of Defense (DoD) is rethinking how its research, development, and laboratory ecosystem can move faster and better connect Emerging Technology with operational needs and National Security priorities.In this episode of Emerging Tech Horizons, Arun Seraphin sits down with Jacob Glassman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Critical Technologies, to discuss the future of the defense innovation ecosystem and the role of the Department's laboratories in accelerating Defense Technology transition. Glassman shares insights from a recent review of the defense lab enterprise, including efforts to break down barriers to innovation, improve collaboration across laboratories, and get promising Emerging Technology to the Warfighter faster.Key topics include:Why the Department needs to move beyond simply out-innovating adversaries and learn to continuously innovate faster than the pace of change on the battlefield, strengthening National Security.How government laboratories, FFRDCs, and university research centers can serve as critical bridges between Emerging Technology, industry, acquisition programs, and the Warfighter.The barriers preventing promising Defense Technology from moving from prototypes to scalable capabilities—and why the Department is strong at prototyping but struggles with scaling.How lowering barriers to entry can create opportunities for startups, entrepreneurs, and non-traditional innovators to work with defense laboratories and bring new Defense Technology and Emerging Technology into the National Security ecosystem.The untapped value of government intellectual property, advanced facilities, and technical expertise—and how better access and collaboration could generate greater returns on those investments and strengthen National Security.Workforce challenges facing the defense laboratory enterprise and the need to create new opportunities for younger technical talent to contribute to the future of Defense Technology and National Security.Glassman's "sprint" approach to solving problems through rapid experimentation, learning by doing, and quickly deciding whether to kill, pivot, or scale an effort.How initiatives such as LabFinder could improve access to government laboratory facilities, lower barriers for industry, and provide better data on facility utilization, helping accelerate Emerging Technology and Defense Technology development.NDIA Emerging Technologies Institute: https://www.ndiaeti.org NDIA Emerging Technologies Conference: https://www.ndiatechexpo.orgBe sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications covering all things emerging tech, visit: ndiaeti.org#Warfighter #EmergingTechnology #Departmentofdefense #DefenseTechnology #NationalSecurity

Fascia, cadaver labs, iron and ferritin, red light therapy marketing, peptides, and total plasma exchange (TPE) — Freddie sits down with functional health practitioner Lauren Sambataro of the BioHacker Babes for a wide-ranging conversation on why more health data and more powerful interventions haven't translated into better health outcomes. Freddie and Lauren dig into the difference between context and content — how wearable data (Oura scores, HRV, sleep scores), viral health claims, and confident internet voices can quietly reprogram how people feel about their own bodies. They get into the iron and ferritin trend sweeping women's wellness content, the marketing spin behind "medical grade" red light panels, and why more information often means less clarity. The conversation turns clinical with a look at total plasma exchange (TPE) and EBOO — who actually needs them versus who's chasing a shortcut — and into peptides, where Lauren shares her current protocol (BPC-157, TB-500, Kisspeptin) for perimenopause and tissue repair, while Freddie talks through his own stack, including low-dose retatrutide. The back half centers on fascia: Lauren's four-day cadaver lab course, and what healthy fascia looks and feels like compared to fascia shut down by scarring, dehydration, and a sedentary life — and what that means for how anyone moves, rolls, and recovers. Episode Highlights:  1:22 — What Lauren actually does as a functional health practitioner 2:16 — How her approach has evolved over the last decade 4:00 — Wellness has gotten more complex: peptides, PEMF, and high-level interventions go mainstream 5:24 — Are we actually getting healthier with more access to information? 8:45 — Context vs. content: why we overcomplicate health 14:00 — The double-edged sword of wearable data (the Oura ring example) 16:32 — Freddie's 4-hour no-food-before-bed rule and HRV 18:42 — Reclaiming ice baths and contrast therapy from online noise 21:41 — Stop demonizing what nature already gave us 24:14 — The iron/ferritin trend and the danger of one-size-fits-all advice 26:07 — Resonant breathing and finding your personal breath rate 28:55 — Why ferritin is trending in women's health right now 33:00 — Red light marketing claims and the "medical grade" myth 36:49 — Freddie's dog: the ultimate biohacker with no placebo effect 38:21 — Total plasma exchange (TPE): Freddie's first exposure and the current craze 41:42 — TPE recovery time and lymphatic drainage as a lower-cost alternative 43:03 — Who actually needs TPE vs. who's chasing a quick fix 44:46 — EBOO explained: ozonating and filtering the blood 50:41 — Lauren's peptide protocol: BPC-157, TB-500, and Kisspeptin for perimenopause 53:09 — Freddie's peptide stack and why retatrutide outperformed GLP-1s for him 56:24 — Lauren's cadaver lab experience: two bodies, two very different stories 1:00:00 — What healthy vs. unhealthy fascia actually looks like 1:04:54 — Foam rollers vs. towel work vs. long holds for releasing fascia 1:07:53 — Closing thoughts and where to find Lauren and the BioHacker Babes Connect with lauren Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauren_sambataro Website: https://www.laurensambataro.com Podcast (BioHacker Babes): https://www.biohackerbabes.com Upgrade Your Wellness: LightPathLED: https://bit.ly/4gwYiUh Code: beautifullybroken Explore the new FDA Cleared Aurawell PEMF: Book A Call Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN MaxGen Labs: https://maxgenlabs.com/BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to the sixth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Krista to talk about something so many moms carry silently: guilt. We dig into why women, especially moms, feel guilty spending time, money, and energy on their own health, even when their families would benefit most from them doing so. Krista shares her belief that if you teach the mom, you reach the entire family, and why understanding your own body is what equips you to help your kids, spouse, and even aging parents. We talk about how kids learn far more from what they see us do than from what we tell them to do, and why modeling healthy habits now shapes how our children will care for themselves as adults.  Krista offers practical, tactical advice for having open conversations with your kids and your spouse about why you're prioritizing your health, so they can actually show up and support you instead of feeling confused or left out. We also get into how to talk to kids about supplements, measuring food, and tracking macros in a way that frames these as tools rather than sources of shame. Krista draws a helpful comparison to using a calculator or ruler until you build the intuition to not need them anymore.  Finally, we touch on the almond mom conversation and why context and intent matter more than the behavior itself when it comes to raising kids with a healthy relationship to food.  This episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's one of the most powerful things you can model for the people who love you.   Time Stamps:   (1:14) For All The Mom's (4:00) Where Mom's Struggle The Most (10:50) Conversations with Family (16:50) Addressing Health Changes with Your Kids (23:45) The Slimfast Era ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

Interview with Jon Hladik - ChatMate Imagine a user asks an LLM a question about a document. An attacker then gains an interactive prompt on the user's chat session, enabling the attacker to instruct the AI assistant to take actions on behalf of the victim. That is exactly the capability researchers at Rubrik Zero Labs were able to demonstrate in a recent study designed to test the bounds of LLM security. Join Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs, as he breaks down the discovery of "Remote Prompt Execution," a novel vulnerability class that enabled full takeovers of Microsoft Copilot sessions through sandbox escapes. He explores the technical journey behind the eight critical CVEs uncovered by Rubrik Zero Labs and discusses the broader implications for securing generative AI assistants within enterprise environments. This interview highlights the groundbreaking research that earned a $48,000 bounty and featured as a premier briefing at Black Hat USA.

Topic Segment - AI Notetakers and Recorders AI notetakers are built into everything now, and hardware-based AI recorders are becoming mainstream as well. Is privacy over in the workplace? Adrian, Jackie, Katie, and Tyler discuss. Questions enterprises should be asking: Are employees recording or transcribing meetings? Does this policy change if non-employees (external parties) are present? Is consent asked for/given? Is the context of the conversation taken into consideration? Is the geographic/legal/political context of the external party taken into account? Have you done your due diligence on third parties hosting/storing these recordings and transcriptions? Was your due diligence a SOC 2, or real, actual evidence-based due diligence? Do these third parties have an option to allow you to store/manage your own recordings in a place of your choosing, or does it have to be hosted by the AI recording/transcription company? News Segment Finally, in the enterprise security news, we check the vibes and the funding, and the acquisitions seriously, don't mess with the wifi on planes 181,000 meetings were left wide open the sandbox escapes are getting ridiculous research on how reliable AI-generated patches are research on what attackers do after they get a shell research on how cybercriminals are using AI agents research on how vulnerable datacenters are and finally, what's a “mouthpad”?

The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology. September 27th in Valley View, Texas! https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/ Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies joins Elvis and Barb to talk all things NOLA LabFest October 15-17th, including the welcome addition to the speaker lineup: martial arts instructor and business coach Jude Grayson. After Jude's keynote at last year's LabFest, the response was strong enough to bring him back for another keynote and a breakout session. The conversation starts with the obvious question: what the heck does a karate instructor know about the dental laboratory industry? As Jude explains, quite a bit. Having practiced martial arts since he was five years old and built a career around teaching, competition, entrepreneurship, and business coaching, Jude draws a surprising number of parallels between martial arts and business. He talks about discipline, competition, confidence, risk, and his “five-year-old board break moment”—the idea that sometimes the ability to succeed is already inside us, and the right coach simply helps unlock it. He also explains how those lessons translate into working with business owners and helping them recognize opportunities they may not see themselves. The conversation then turns toward one of the biggest challenges facing dental laboratories today: knowing when it's time to pivot. With technology, AI, 3D printing, changing doctor workflows, and the evolving DSO landscape continuing to reshape the industry, Jude's NOLA LabFest keynote will focus on how business owners can recognize when change is necessary, decide when to act, and understand the risks that come with being an early adopter. He also shares some great perspective on failure, competition, and why making a bad business decision doesn't necessarily mean you've lost—the real loss comes when you stop competing altogether. Shawn also gives us a look at what else is happening at NOLA LabFest, including education on AI, social media marketing, employee culture, DSOs, and other topics affecting dental laboratories right now. And, of course, there's plenty of the NOLA LabFest fun mixed in, from the masquerade party and distillery tour to the return of Family Feud. It's a conversation about business, leadership, taking risks, and finding ways to keep dental laboratories moving forward—and it all starts with a karate instructor walking into a dental show.Special Guests: Jude Grayson and Shawn Nowak.

Interview with Jon Hladik - ChatMate Imagine a user asks an LLM a question about a document. An attacker then gains an interactive prompt on the user's chat session, enabling the attacker to instruct the AI assistant to take actions on behalf of the victim. That is exactly the capability researchers at Rubrik Zero Labs were able to demonstrate in a recent study designed to test the bounds of LLM security. Join Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs, as he breaks down the discovery of "Remote Prompt Execution," a novel vulnerability class that enabled full takeovers of Microsoft Copilot sessions through sandbox escapes. He explores the technical journey behind the eight critical CVEs uncovered by Rubrik Zero Labs and discusses the broader implications for securing generative AI assistants within enterprise environments.

On this episode, Jared welcomes functional nutritional therapy practitioner and blood chemistry specialist Shea Sallee for a fascinating conversation about what routine blood work may reveal beyond the standard lab report. Together, they explore the difference between conventional reference ranges and functional ranges, discuss important markers like fasting insulin, GGT, ALP, ferritin, and thyroid labs, and explain how nutrient imbalances can influence overall health and well-being. They also cover the role of symptoms, blood chemistry, hair analysis, and other functional assessments in building a more complete picture of health. If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" but still haven't felt your best, this episode offers practical insights into understanding your blood work from a broader perspective.Additional Information:Shea's Health & NutritionSheasHealth.com801-492-2723Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Your blood pressure is fine. Your cholesterol looks great. So why do you still feel exhausted, wired, and unwell? Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel returns to explain what standard lab panels miss when chronic stress quietly reshapes the body. This episode is based on his article "Normal labs miss what most patients are living through," published on KevinMD. You will hear how sustained stress ripples through your hormones, gut, and immune system, and why a patient can be genuinely sick while every routine result comes back normal. Shiv walks through the targeted tests he uses, from salivary cortisol to the Dutch test, and is candid that not all of it is covered by insurance or backed by the usual evidence. He also makes the case for listening longer and treating the root cause, with real ways to do it inside a packed schedule. You will come away with practical ways to hear more in a short visit and follow the clues standard labs leave behind. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

"Everything looks normal."You have heard those words. And you wanted to believe them. But you walked out of that office and cried in your car, because you know your own body, and something is not right.You are tired in a way sleep does not fix.You are cold when no one else is.The weight will not move, no matter what you do.And somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if maybe you are the problem. If maybe you are just weak, or lazy, or getting old, and this is simply your life now.Stop. Read this next part twice.You are not imagining it. You are not being dramatic. And there is a real, specific reason your bloodwork can say you are fine while your whole body is screaming that you are not.Almost no one explains this to women. Today, I am going to.Inside this episode: the reason "normal" on a lab report does not mean what you think it means. The single test that gets skipped over and over, that could change everything. What your body has been trying to tell you all along. And if you are already on medication and still feel like a stranger in your own skin, why that might not be the end of the story.This is the episode I wish someone had handed me years ago.You deserve real answers. You deserve to feel good in your own body, not just fine on paper. And it starts with knowing what to ask.Press play. Then go be your own advocate, because no one will ever fight for your body the way you can.And if you know a woman who is exhausted and being told she is fine, send her this episode. It might be the thing that finally makes her feel less alone.Hit follow so you never miss what is coming next. And if you have thirty seconds, leave a review. It is how the next tired, dismissed woman finds her way here.When you are ready to give your body the food it has been begging you for, the Thin Adapted System will walk you through it, step by step: GetThinlicious.com/ThinAdaptedSystem

An elevated estrone level can be alarming—especially when you search online and immediately find scary information about cancer, diabetes, or obesity. But does a high estrone level automatically mean something is wrong? In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center, takes a closer look at estrone and why it shouldn't be treated as a simple “good” or “bad” hormone. Dr. McCarthy also discusses his own evolution in understanding estrone and why he believes good medicine requires continually questioning what we think we know. The goal isn't to tell you what decision to make. It's to give you better information so you can have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.

Western medicine diagnoses people with autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism, IBS, high cholesterol, stubborn weight, fatigue… And then treats every one of those things like it's an isolated problem. Thyroid low? → Here's thyroid medication. Can't lose weight? → Eat less. Exercise more. Gut symptoms? → Here's another prescription. H. pylori? → Here's an antibiotic. But WHO THE HELL is asking WHY? Have you ever been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease… but nobody investigated WHY your immune system started attacking your own body? Have thyroid problems… but your care stops at checking TSH and adjusting medication? Struggle with stubborn weight despite eating well, exercising and taking all the "right" supplements? Deal with bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, hair loss or inflammation—and get told it's age, hormones or stress? Or maybe your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal"… while you KNOW you don't feel normal? I see it all day, every day, with nearly EVERY patient that comes to us. And here's what I want to know: Why is the immune system dysregulated? Why is the thyroid struggling? Why is the gut inflamed? Why is an infection like H. pylori thriving? What does the microbiome look like? What environmental toxins and exposures could be adding to the burden? Are the liver, kidneys, lymph and bowels adequately supporting elimination? And if a doctor is going to prescribe an antibiotic for something like H. pylori… did anyone even investigate whether that strain carries resistance genes to the drug they're about to prescribe? Now ask yourself the BIG question: Has anyone ever gone looking for what might be underneath your diagnosis?

You know when you wake up already tired… and before your feet even hit the floor, you feel it... that low pull of dread at the day stacked up ahead of you, and you have not even started it yet. Did you feel it this morning?? Then, you hit the wall by two, push through on willpower, and lie down at night with a mind that will not turn off. You have heard your labs are "normal", that it is just stress or your age. And yet, you don't feel like it's normal or that you should have to deal with it. I hear you and I see you because I was you. This first episode in the Biblical Stewardship of Your Health series is for the Christian woman living with high-functioning fatigue who is ready for real answers. We turn to Scripture for what it means to steward the body God gave you, starting with faithfulness, and why consistent, ordinary care does more for your energy than any dramatic overhaul.

What if everything you've been told about your "normal" thyroid labs is wrong? After years of struggling with unexplained weight gain and fatigue, I wish I had known then what I know now. My guest today, Dr. Amie Hornaman, experienced this firsthand. A former competitive bodybuilder, she suddenly found herself gaining weight and spiraling into a deep depression. Despite strict dieting and exercise, six different doctors told her she was "normal." It wasn't until she found a practitioner who looked beyond standard testing that she discovered the truth: she had Hashimoto's and was suffering from what she now calls "thyropause." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization. We dive deep into what thyropause actually is, why standard thyroid testing is failing women, and what every woman in midlife needs to know about the connection between sex hormones and thyroid health. The medical establishment is finally catching up to what Dr. Amie and I have been saying for years. We cover everything from the science behind T2, the forgotten thyroid hormone, to why women are routinely dismissed by their doctors. You will learn what you can do right now to actually optimize your hormones, not just accept the symptoms of aging.

Welcome to the fifth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! In this Coach's Corner episode, I sit down with Coach Soraya to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in wellness: detoxification.  Soraya shares her own journey from years of over-exercising and chronic restriction to discovering that her body needed support, not more discipline, a shift that accelerated after becoming a mom.  We break down what the lymphatic system actually does, why it doesn't have a built-in "pump" like the heart, and why simple daily habits like walking, deep breathing, and hydration matter more than expensive detox gadgets.  We dig into common misconceptions, from detox teas to the "if you have a liver, you don't need a detox" myth, and talk about why foundational habits like sleep, nutrition, and stress management have to come first.  Soraya introduces her "bucket" analogy for toxin load and the "clogged sink" visual for why adding more without addressing the drain doesn't work.  We also walk through what a flush protocol actually involves, why clients often feel worse before they feel better, and how she coaches clients through that discomfort without white-knuckling the process.  Finally, we cover simple, low-cost ways to support the lymphatic system daily, from dry brushing in the shower to gua sha and restorative movement. It's a candid, practical conversation about trusting your body instead of trying to out-supplement it.   Time Stamps:   (1:45) All Things Detoxification (6:00) What Detoxification Really Is (10:02) Adding More vs The Drain (14:05) Where To Start (17:20) The FLUSH Protocol (25:30) Supporting Detoxification On A Daily Basis (28:35) What Is Your Body Trying To Tell You? ------- Learn more about the Vital Spark Coaching Functional Reset Method.  ------- Click Here to apply for 1-on-1 coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts. ------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  ------- Click Here for my Free Top 3 Labs training to get to the root of bloating & exhaustion. ------- Click Here to download a Free Hormone Healing Blueprint. ------- Check out our YouTube Channel for more free training. ------- Click Here to read our Client Google Reviews.  ------- Enjoyed the podcast?

When you're exhausted, foggy, losing hair, and feeling like something is off, it's easy to hear "your labs are fine" and start doubting yourself. In this episode, I'm walking you through the iron deficiency signs that so often get missed, like chewing ice, restless legs, and air hunger, and why a normal hemoglobin does not always mean your iron is actually fine. I'm also getting honest about my own years of being iron deficient, the wild clinical story that changed how I think about absorption, and why simply taking more iron may not move the needle if something deeper is going on. If you're ready to stop guessing and finally understand what your labs are telling you, join me for my FREE Ferritin Workshop on Tuesday, August 18th at 7PM Central. I'll go deeper into testing, thyroid, and gut absorption, and answer your questions live. Can't make it live? Register anyway and I'll send you the replay. Zero commitment, completely free.

Labs read "normal" but you're gaining midsection weight, foggy and running at 70%? Your thyroid - not just perimenopause - may be the missing variable. Dr. Amie Hornaman explains why TSH alone misses the picture, how elevated reverse T3 "pools" and blocks T3 at the cell even when free T3 looks optimal, and why roughly 98% of women don't thrive on T4-only. She links falling progesterone, rising thyroid-binding globulin, low ferritin and the "thyropause" hitting 80-90% of women over 40. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why a "normal" TSH can completely miss a thyroid problem - and the five markers that actually reveal what's happening What reverse T3 "pooling" is, and how it blocks active thyroid hormone at the cell even when your free T3 looks optimal Why roughly 98% of women stop thriving on T4-only medication once they're past 40 How falling progesterone drives estrogen dominance, raises thyroid binding globulin, and quietly strands thyroid hormone before it reaches the cell What "thyropause" is, why it hits 80-90% of women over 40, and how it overlaps with the perimenopause symptoms you're blaming instead Why testosterone acts as armor against autoimmunity - and what its decline switches on How low ferritin, insulin resistance and cortisol compound thyroid-driven fatigue and stubborn belly fat TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro: Why Midlife Women Go Undiagnosed & the Full Thyroid Panel Doctors Skip (TSH, Free T3/T4, Reverse T3, Antibodies)09:46 - Reverse T3 "Pooling," Why T4-Only Fails Most Women & What Actually Drives High Reverse T317:28 - How HRT, Progesterone Loss & Low Ferritin Hit Your Thyroid - Plus the "Thyropause" Switch22:09 - Core Thyroid Nutrients, Iodine Dosing Do's & Don'ts, and How to Actually Fix Low Iron40:14 - High Antibodies and Still Optimized?

What happens when an AI agent is authorized to make a payment, but nobody can verify the wider agreement behind it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Zor Gorelov of Blue Language Labs about the infrastructure businesses may need as AI agents move from answering questions to negotiating, approving, purchasing, coordinating, and settling commercial activity. Many current business processes depend on human coordination. People reconcile spreadsheets, chase signatures, confirm deliveries, review exceptions, and resolve disagreements between systems. This work often remains invisible because employees absorb the ambiguity through emails, calls, and follow-up. Agent driven business changes the speed and volume of those interactions. One agent making an isolated payment can be handled as a software transaction. Several agents coordinating dependent actions across companies, banks, suppliers, platforms, and customers creates a much larger infrastructure problem. Zor argues that authorization answers only part of the question. An agent may have permission to pay, but every participant also needs to understand what the payment covers, which conditions apply, who can approve changes, what evidence confirms delivery, and when funds should be captured, refunded, or settled. Blue Language Labs is developing an open source protocol designed to structure those commitments. Blue Documents represent machine executable agreements containing participants, permissions, obligations, conditions, and the current state of a business process. Blue Mandates provide agents with revocable authority. A business can define spending limits, permitted actions, and thresholds requiring human approval. The meeting notes include the example of a restaurant operator allowing an agent to accept smaller bookings automatically while requiring approval for catering orders involving over 20 people. Blue Timelines provide an append only, hash linked record of actions, approvals, and changes. The aim is to give participants an independent history they can use when resolving disputes, instead of relying on conflicting emails or records controlled by one company. Zor brings the concept to life through a travel package assembled by an AI agent. The agent identifies a boutique hotel with spare inventory, a restaurant with available tables, and a local guide with unused capacity. Each business defines its terms, the agent assembles the offer, and the participants approve their roles. The customer purchases one package. Payment can be authorized at the beginning and captured according to agreed conditions as the hotel, restaurant, and guide confirm fulfillment. If one participant declines or fails to deliver, predefined rules determine whether the agent finds a replacement, changes the package, or triggers a cancellation. We also consider how Blue differs from traditional workflow systems, agent orchestration tools, and blockchain smart contracts. Blue is designed for coordination across separate businesses without requiring every participant to join one company platform or use global blockchain consensus. The opportunity could be especially valuable for smaller companies. Agents may allow several independent businesses to combine inventory, services, and expertise into offers they could not create individually.
