Podcasts about lifelong learner

There's a difference between understanding a concept and embodying the truth that is encoded in that concept.Knowledge will only get you so far— that's why life long learners are often left behind by less educated action takers. What if you could weave knowledge into revenue generating implementation? What if you could move with the purpose, intention and undeniable value that produces millions?This is the exact kind of waterfall that I lead my clients to create. As they step into the waters of clarity, their crown chakra is fully immersed in white light energy that flows down through their energetic field and pools all around them into the bliss of the overflow. My clients learn to serve from this limitless resource, calling in the income and the impact that they were born to have and to hold in the empires they are building.You have already changed. You have come so far. You have built so much, learned so much, and desire so much… but without embodying truth, you will forever remain an outsider looking in, watching the beauty of the waterfall rather than becoming it.When you learn to deepen your connection to your higher self as you shed the layers of who you used to be, you can activate beyond your previous limitation. You will shed the old skin of self sabotage patterns and claim the new light of self sovereignty as you bask in the sun drenched waters of wealth and abundance. You have more capacity than you currently know… this limitless energetic field is waiting for you to rewire and rewrite your story as you transmute old trauma patterns into transformational energy that moves the masses.This is more than mentorship— it is the mirror of your future self. Once you can see who you are meant to become, your deep desire to activate what is already yours becomes the fuel for your embodiment. Together, we will birth your empire into existence.Six figure months that become cash injection six figure days faster than you ever imagined possible as we rewire your subconscious energetic alignment before applying active mindset techniques and creative development strategies.This is the power unleashed inside of UMBRELLA. We make it rain, not because we are rainmakers, but rather because we embody the self defining fact that we are the MF Storm.

What You'll Learn:Patrick Adams discusses his experience on the "Blox" show, a live startup competition. He was motivated by the opportunity to learn and apply new skills to his business, Lean Solutions. The show, which features 100-150 businesses, is hosted by Wes Bergman and involves daily classroom sessions and challenges. Patrick emphasizes the importance of simplifying business explanations and making them accessible to non-lean practitioners. He highlights the value of networking, the competitive yet supportive environment, and the exhaustion from the intense week-long filming. The show is available on the Blocks app, Facebook, and their website.

When she discovered the idea of a personal curriculum, today's guest couldn't wait to apply this concept to her reading life. Amy St. Amand, a primary care clinical pharmacist from Rhode Island, wants to know a little bit about a whole lot of things. She's working to build a personal learning plan that encompasses a variety of her assorted interests, and she's here today for Anne's help in developing and refining her selected topics. Anne couldn't wait to hear more about Amy's approach, why this idea resonated with her so much, and her progress so far. After they explore Amy's project, Anne recommends a whole lot of mostly nonfiction books that will help Amy delve deeper into her chosen topics. See the list of titles mentioned today at our show notes page, which you'll find at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/501. If you're a member of our Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club, today's topic may sound familiar in a really fun way. We touched on the idea of a personal curriculum in our recent book club class, A Close Look at Great Books. Among other topics, this class explored our community manager Ginger Horton's ongoing grad school experience focused on a Great Books curriculum, and how you can apply some of those ideas to your own reading life.

"Mediocrity works fine until it meets passion" says a favorite sign on the wall of this week's guest, on for the third time, Jenny Levy. Everytime she joins us we are blown away by what she shares. This week is no exception. Jenny is a 4x NCAA champion coach for the University of North Carolina Women's lacrosse program, including winning the 2025 championship. She is a 3x NCAA coach of the year, 8x ACC coach of the year, former Team USA head coach, and both the National and International Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee. Heading into 2026 she has 443 wins (2nd all time) and has led the Tar Heels to 14 Final Fours. What makes Jenny most special, however, is her curiosity and authentic, relationship based leadership model. This week she shares with us the importance of failing forward as part of the Tar Heel culture, how she recruits players who are a good fit for the program, and how the selfish players get spit out if they do not become players who learn to give to the team. We discuss the importance of building relationships through casual conversations rather than long meetings, how winning is a by product of the journey, and so much more.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat does it take to create a truly flourishing life in today's distraction-filled world? Charlie Kirk's powerful challenge to read 50 books yearly and eliminate "soul-depraving" content offers a compelling answer that few of us want to hear but all of us need to consider.This episode explores the twin pillars of reason and revelation that built Western civilization—from the monotheistic foundations of Judaism through the rational inquiry of Greek philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ. We examine how these complementary forces shaped not just history but continue to offer the surest path to personal wisdom and societal flourishing today.Through a vulnerable sharing of my own faith journey, I reveal how returning to serious Catholic practice transformed me into what others describe as "a far better, more patient, more godly person." The communal aspect of faith development gets special attention as I highlight the decade-long impact of the "That Man Is You" men's group on my spiritual growth. This personal testimony serves as an invitation for listeners to consider how intentional faith practice might similarly transform their lives.The practical takeaway is clear: commit to both revelation (putting God first through serious faith practice) and reason (becoming a lifelong learner through reading quality books) for at least 60-90 days. This dual commitment, I promise, will set you on the path to a flourishing life characterized by wisdom, virtue, and purpose. Will you accept the challenge to trade mindless scrolling for the timeless treasures found in great books and faithful living?Key Points from the Episode:• Reading 50 books per year on entrepreneurship, history, finance, and economics• Cutting out "soul-depraving" content like excessive streaming media• Reason and revelation as the twin pillars that built Western civilization• The historical progression from Judaism through Greek philosophy to Christianity• Taking faith seriously through regular practice and humble commitment• Finding community through faith-based groups like "That Man Is You"• Reading the Bible and classic books as complementary paths to wisdom• Trading mindless scrolling for intentional learning and spiritual growthTry committing to both revelation (putting God first) and reason (reading good books) for 60-90 days, and I promise it will change your life. Become a lifelong learner for Charlie Kirk, and you will be on the road to a flourishing life.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

This week on the Out of Class edition of Lifelong Learner, we crack open the raw realities of transition, freedom, and the aches that remind us we're alive. What starts as light banter about backgrounds and early morning texts quickly unravels into a conversation about endings, new beginnings, and the gritty in-between.Fresh off closing the chapter at The Summit, Gines shares the nerves and excitement of buying an electrical business—learning new systems, tackling debt, and asking all the naïve questions that spark both confusion and growth. Meanwhile, Matt recounts a brutal week struck down by Bali food poisoning, a spiral into health anxiety, and the surprising gratitude that comes when your body finally bounces back. And Ben? He's juggling bodybuilding prep, heavy chiropractic practice loads, and the mental “hangover” that lingers long after work should be over—all while dreaming of snow trips and the freedom to fly, literally.In this episode, we unpack:⚡ Gines' jump into a new industry—what it feels like to buy a business you don't yet understand.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a fringe concept; it's at the center of educational innovation. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, public confidence in higher education has dropped from 57% in 2015 to 36% in 2023, largely due to concerns around cost, value, and workforce preparedness. In a landscape where AI tools are swiftly becoming the norm, the challenge is not adoption but ensuring they strengthen the learner's pathway, making it more affordable, accessible, and aligned with workforce needs. How can AI be used not just to scale enrollment, but to elevate learner success and long-term employability?In Part 2 of this two-part DisruptED series, host Ron Stefanski continues his conversation with Kermit Cook, CEO of Penn Foster. This episode explores how AI-powered tools, data-driven interventions, and a culture of experimentation are transforming the learner's pathway into a more efficient, personalized, and results-driven experience.Key Highlights from the EpisodeAI-Powered Writing Support: Penn Foster's integrated writing tutor, developed with Learnosity, offers real-time feedback, while human instructors provide final review, blending automation with personalized guidance to enhance the lifelong learner's pathway.Data-Driven Engagement: Predictive analytics allow the institution to reach out at the precise moment learners struggle, boosting persistence and completion at a radically affordable cost.Culture of Innovation: Embracing a “make ugly pots” philosophy, Penn Foster encourages experimentation, learning from failure, and collaboration, underlining how innovation fuels better outcomes for diverse learners.Kermit Cook is the CEO of Penn Foster Group, leading innovations in education technology and career-focused learning pathways. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer at Cengage Group, overseeing growth strategies in education for employment and managing operations for its K-12 and workforce-aligned programs. Earlier in his career, he was Managing Director at KKR Capstone, driving operational transformations worldwide, and began as a Teach for America physics teacher dedicated to closing the achievement gap.

Education is in a period of rapid reinvention as technology, economic pressures, and workforce needs redefine how people learn. College costs continue to climb, with average tuition at private nonprofit four-year institutions now exceeding $43,000 a year. Even public four-year colleges average over $11,000 annually for in-state students, and public two-year programs cost more than $4,000 on average. At the same time, more than 43 million Americans hold over $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt. These financial realities are driving the need for a lifelong learner's pathway that connects students to well-paying careers without long-term debt burdens.How can education deliver flexible, affordable, and skills-focused training that leads to sustainable employment while avoiding the weight of significant student debt?In Part 1 of this two-part DisruptED series, host Ron Stefanski speaks with Kermit Cook, CEO of Penn Foster, about how the 130-year-old institution is expanding access to career-focused education. Their conversation explores Cook's journey from physics teacher to edtech leader and Penn Foster's mission to scale affordable credential programs. They also discuss innovations in online learning that strengthen the lifelong learner's pathway and improve completion rates for working adults and nontraditional students.Key Points from the Episode:Penn Foster aims to graduate 150,000 learners annually by 2029, focusing on career programs that lead to jobs paying $40 to $50K with benefits, without requiring a bachelor's degree.The school's LAADS framework (Learner-centered, Authentic, Active, Differentiated, Skills-based) is central to redesigning courses for engagement and persistence in online learning.Cook believes AI will not replace great teaching but will make poor-quality education obsolete, while data-driven interventions will boost learner success.Kermit Cook is CEO of Penn Foster, bringing a background that spans classroom teaching and senior leadership in educational publishing and technology. A former Teach for America physics teacher, Cook's career includes executive roles at Cengage. He is a lifelong advocate for accessible, skills-based education that meets the needs of working adults and nontraditional learners.

Hi there, I'm so excited to share this week's episode — it’s a good one! This time, I’m joined by the incredibly inspiring Dr. Anna York-Weaving, a Cambridge PhD scientist, academic coach, podcaster, and fellow lifelong learner. Anna's passion for learning and growth is contagious, and I just knew I had to bring her on to share her real-life experience and wisdom with our community. In this insightful conversation, Anna shares her journey from growing up in Ukraine to earning a scholarship to study in the UK — eventually achieving her childhood dream of studying at Cambridge. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing [is it ever?!] She opens up about her early struggles at university, how she overcame failure, and the pivotal moment she decided to transform not just her results but her entire approach to learning. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: How to learn smarter, not harder — and why reviewing information matters more than cramming it in. The power of visualisation and writing down your dreams — with a surprising story involving one of my books! Why setbacks are not failures but stepping stones to your future strengths. How to build habits like morning rituals that support your dream life (even with toddlers in tow!). It's an episode full of practical strategies, inspiring mindset shifts, and warm encouragement. If you're feeling a little stuck or unsure of your next step, Anna’s story will give you a beautiful nudge forward. Tune in — and let’s keep dreaming big, together. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Sometimes those memories are about how they led their classes, making everyone feel accepted and valued, and sometimes we recall a humorous moment, or maybe a hat or other accessory that became that teacher's "brand."  More often, however, we look back fondly on how that teacher made us feel, what he or she did to help us learn, or the way their concern and understanding was conveyed to us. If you are a great teacher now, you are also building a storehouse of memories. Thank you.  If you don't serve in a teaching role, you know someone who does, regardless of their job title.

This is it. The final chapter of Make Change That Lasts, and it's the most important one.Why? Because this chapter completes the loop. We started this journey by talking about how our lives are shaped by invisible reliances—habits, thought patterns, and societal expectations we don't even realize we depend on. We've worked through breaking free from the ones that hold us back, building resilience, and reclaiming our time, energy, and well-being. But here's the thing—none of it matters if we don't connect back to the people around us.This final episode is about one of the biggest paradoxes in life: The more you give, the more you thrive. The stronger you become, the more you can support others—and that, in turn, lifts you even higher. This is the gift of reliance.References:“Make Changes That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In today's Throwback Thursday, we're reaching into the vault to revisit one of the most downloaded, most talked about, most mind-blowing episodes we've ever dropped… and if you're new here, trust me — be prepared, you might have some of your core beliefs challenged.

In this episode, we're tackling a BIG topic that I know so many of you care about: how to actually get lean — and more importantly, how to stay lean.Because here's the reality: for every 10 people who try to get lean, only 2 succeed. But get this — only 1 keeps it off for good. And I'm here to help you be that ONE.This episode is not about gimmicks. It's not about hacks. It's not about crash diets or magic supplements. It's about building a lifestyle — through 5 simple, powerful, sustainable habits.These are habits that have worked for me, for my clients, for athletes, and for people just like you. And by the end of this episode, you'll know how to apply each one to your own life — without burning out, starving yourself, or spending hours on the treadmill.Let's dive in.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that's at the core of living a fulfilled and resilient life: the art and science of doing hard things.We'll explore why stepping outside your comfort zone is essential for a happier, healthier, more fit, and longer lifespan. We'll tie in Andrew Huberman's research on the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), which he calls the "willpower muscle." We'll also unpack Michael Easter's concept of "comfort creep" from The Comfort Crisis, and why modern convenience is holding us back. Lastly, I'll give you actionable strategies to start embracing discomfort today.So, buckle up and let's dive into why doing hard things isn't just worth it—it's necessary.Resources:Huberman Lab Podcast w/ Professor Andrew HubermanThe Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode, we're diving into Chapter 8 of Make Change That Last, by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee "How are you?"When was the last time someone asked you that?And when was the last time you answered:"Oh, I've just been so busy."or"Nonstop, man. Just grinding, trying to get everything done."Sound familiar?We live in a world where busyness is the default.We're taught that if we're not constantly working, rushing, producing… we're somehow falling behind.But let me challenge you on this:

We all have moments from our past that have shaped us—some good, some painful. But when we let those experiences define us, when we hold on to resentment, regret, or shame, we chain ourselves to something that no longer serves us. And the reality is, holding onto the past can literally make us sick.This isn't about blame. It's about awareness. It's about realizing that our emotional health is deeply connected to our physical health—and if we want to thrive, we have to let go of what's holding us back.References:“Make Changes That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Let me ask you something—have you ever felt like you're making progress in life, only to suddenly hit a setback and think, What the hell? I thought I was on the right path! Why is this happening to me?Maybe you've been training consistently, eating well, and then—boom—you get sick, or injured. Maybe you've been saving money and budgeting, then suddenly your car breaks down and eats up your emergency fund. Maybe your relationship has been smooth sailing, then out of nowhere, an argument shakes your confidence.We all experience this, and yet we constantly act shocked when things don't go our way. Why? Because most of us have been conditioned to believe that progress should be linear. That once we start improving in an area of life, it should be like stepping onto an escalator that smoothly takes us upward. We expect steady gains, predictable progress, and minimal resistance.But the truth? Life does not work that way.Progress is nonlinear. And if you don't learn to expect adversity, to factor in setbacks, you're setting yourself up for stress, frustration, and failure.This chapter dives into why we must stop expecting smooth sailing and instead build resilience for the inevitable ups and downs. Because adversity isn't the problem—your reaction to it is.References:“Make Changes That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Today, we're diving into Chapter 5 of Make Change That Last, by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee We live in an age where everyone has an opinion, and with social media, those opinions are louder than ever. But what happens when someone disagrees with you? Do you get angry, defensive, and frustrated? If so, you might be relying too much on being right. And this reliance is holding you back more than you think.Today, we're breaking down why taking offense is a choice, why our brains crave validation, and how letting go of the need to be right will make you calmer, healthier, and more in control. This is one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make—not just for your own well-being, but for your relationships, career, and overall happiness.References:“Make Changes That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this sermon by Doug Pratt, the emphasis is on living a fruitful life, particularly as one grows older. Pratt addresses those already in their later years and those who hope to reach them one day. Drawing from Psalm 92, he challenges the cultural allure of remaining "forever young," as epitomized in Bob Dylan's song. Instead, Pratt proposes that being "forever fruitful" is the attainable and desirable goal. Using the metaphor of the date palm tree, which produces sweeter fruit as it ages, he suggests that life's best contributions may come later with experience. The sermon urges personal growth in faith and kindness and emphasizes making meaningful impacts on others. Pratt highlights seven aspects of a fruitful later life, including lifelong learning and deepening relationships, as integral to a full and balanced life beyond just wealth and health. The sermon concludes with a reimagined blessing, aiming for listeners to add life to their years. Pratt's prayer seeks God's guidance for leading a fruitful life reflecting divine intent.

Let me ask you something—how much of your day is actually uncomfortable?Not inconvenient. Not slightly annoying. Truly, physically or mentally uncomfortable.For most people, the answer is almost never.We live in a world that worships comfort. Everything is designed to make life easier, smoother, more convenient.Hungry? Food delivery to your door.Tired? Temperature-controlled beds.Bored? Infinite entertainment, 24/7.It's tempting to believe that comfort equals happiness. That the easier life gets, the better we feel. But that's a lie.In reality, comfort is making us weaker.We are getting physically softer. Chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease are skyrocketing because we move less than ever.We are getting mentally softer. The slightest inconvenience—slow WiFi, a late Uber, a text left on read—sends us into stress spirals.We are getting emotionally softer. When life throws challenges at us, we break down instead of rising up.We have lost our edge.But here's the thing—discomfort is not the enemy.Discomfort is how we grow.And if we want to thrive in life, we need to stop avoiding discomfort and start seeking it out.That's exactly what this chapter is about.References:“Make Changes That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

If you've ever put someone on a pedestal, compared yourself to a “perfect” role model, or felt like you'll never measure up—this episode is for you.Today, we're diving into Chapter 2 of Make Changes That Last, where Dr. Rangan Chatterjee challenges one of the biggest obstacles to personal growth: the myth of the hero.We all have heroes—celebrities, athletes, influencers, even people in our own lives. But what if idolizing them is actually holding us back? What if constantly comparing ourselves to someone else is the very thing preventing us from thriving?Let's get into it.(Recap of Chapter 2 from Make Change Last by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee)References:“Make Change That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode, we're kicking off our recap of the book Make Change That Lasts by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee—one of the best guides out there for making real, lasting change in your life. I loved this book so much that I went through it twice and now I'm going to help imprint and solidify what I have learned from reading it, by summarizing my take-aways with you. Jay Shetty called this book, Dr. Chatterjee's most insightful, inspiring and transformative book yet. Which is saying a lot because I really enjoyed all of the books I've read of his so far, and I have learned a ton from them. This book is packed with powerful lessons, and Chapter 1 lays the foundation with a message we all need to hear: Stop outsourcing your well-being. Start listening to your own body.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice… stuck in habits that don't serve you… or unsure how to truly tune into what your body needs, this episode is for you. Let's get into it.References:“Make Change That Lasts. 9 simple ways to break free from the habits that hold you back.”Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

When you connect deeply to your "why," it creates a sense of purpose that fuels your actions. It becomes your internal compass, guiding you toward your goals even when the road feels tough. A strong "why" can turn obstacles into opportunities, setbacks into lessons, and routines into rituals that support your dream life.This meditation is designed to help you strengthen your motivation.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

In this episode, we're tackling a topic that's been a source of confusion, fear, and misinformation for decades: cholesterol. I know many of you have heard your doctor say, “Your cholesterol is too high” or “Avoid eggs and fatty foods,” and suddenly, you're terrified of every bite of breakfast. But here's the deal—cholesterol is way more nuanced than “good vs. bad” or “eat this, avoid that.”Today, we're breaking it all down so you can ditch the fear and take back control. My goal is simple: to help you understand what cholesterol really is, how it works, and what you can do to optimize your levels and, ultimately, your long-term health. By the end of this episode, you'll feel empowered to make decisions that support your longevity—no more guesswork, no more stress. Let's dive in!**I misspoke when I said scleroderma.
