On the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Sam Tripoli welcomes Dr. Narco Longo for a deep dive into some of the most controversial theories in alternative history. The discussion explores whether the Lost Tribes of Israel made their way to America, the claim that Florida is the true Garden of Eden, and the argument that Jesus was not Jewish. Dr. Longo also examines the secretive history of the Knights of the Golden Circle and presents his theory that the origins of major fast food chains are tied to networks and individuals connected to the Ku Klux Klan. From hidden history to controversial connections, this episode is packed with thought provoking ideas that challenge conventional narratives.

A Inteligência Artificial vai revolucionar de vez o trabalho ou é só mais uma tecnologia que vai se ajustar às nossas rotinas? Neste episódio, o debate gira em torno do impacto real dos agentes de IA no mercado, na gestão de pessoas e na própria estrutura das organizações — longe dos discursos catastróficos e das ansiedades geradas pelo hype.Pedro Waengertner recebe Marcelo Furtado, cofundador e CEO da Convenia, que traz uma visão direta e ancorada na realidade de mais de 3.000 profissionais de RH que usam sua plataforma diariamente.

On this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back Deb Craven to the podcast, President of Longo's and Retail Council of Canada's Distinguished Retailer of the Year for 2026, for an in-depth conversation about leadership, grocery innovation, Canadian retail growth, and what it takes to scale a beloved regional brand while preserving culture and customer trust. Recorded on the cusp of Longo's milestone 70th anniversary celebrations, Deb reflects on the remarkable evolution of one of Canada's most respected grocery retailers. She shares insights into the company's continued expansion strategy, including the upcoming opening of Longo's 44th store in Welland, Ontario— the furthest geographic expansion yet. Deb explains how Longo's has invested heavily in supply chain modernization, including doubling the size of its distribution centre, improving logistics flows, and introducing light automation to support future growth and operational consistency. The conversation also explores the strategic advantages Longo's has gained through its partnership with Empire Company Limited. Deb discusses how the relationship has created opportunities for shared learning, talent development, operational scale, and broader access to retail expertise while still allowing Longo's to maintain its unique identity, culture, and guest experience focus. Michael and Deb spend considerable time discussing the changing Canadian grocery landscape and how consumer expectations continue to evolve. From affordability concerns and value perception to the growing importance of protein, fibre, wellness, and GLP-1-driven shopping behaviours, Deb explains how Longo's is adapting merchandising, meal planning, and customer engagement strategies to remain highly relevant to modern shoppers. The discussion also dives into one of the most important emerging topics in retail: artificial intelligence and agentic commerce. Deb shares how Longo's is actively working to understand AI-driven shopping assistants and personalized grocery recommendations, and how retailers will need to position themselves as consumers increasingly rely on intelligent digital agents to make purchase decisions. Throughout the interview, Deb's leadership philosophy stands out clearly. She emphasizes listening, curiosity, empowering frontline employees, and maintaining a “store-first” mindset — principles that have helped Longo's consistently rank among Canada's top grocery experiences. The conversation culminates with reflections on Longo's recognition as Retail Council of Canada's Distinguished Retailer of the Year and what lies ahead for the company as it balances growth, innovation, and its deeply rooted community values. Please join us at STORE 2026 in Toronto June 2nd and 3rd, and for the Excellence in Retail gala to celebrate Deb's achievement, the evening of June 2nd at the conference.

In this episode of Worker Agenda, AFL President Gil McGowan and Secretary Treasurer Cori Longo break down the growing momentum behind Alberta's May 29 Province-Wide Day of Protest, as workers and community members prepare to push back against what they call the Smith government's increasingly radical and undemocratic agenda. From concerns over government-led referendum questions and rising separatist rhetoric to the everyday pressures of affordability, health care, education, and workers' rights, this conversation dives into why organizers say Albertans are reaching a breaking point. McGowan and Longo explain why unions, frontline workers, and community advocates across the province are mobilizing, what's at stake for democracy in Alberta, and why they believe May 29 is only the beginning of a broader movement demanding accountability, affordability, and leadership focused on the real needs of working families.

In the era of the viral vertical video, there is a seemingly endless appetite for new content. And brands are getting in on original content trying by creating their own series for social media. In January, Gap Inc announced it was creating a new role, a chief entertainment officer, where Pam Kaufman will lead their “fashion-tainment” strategy. This year, David's Bridal launched “Breaking Bridal,” a series documenting nontraditional weddings. And since September, New York-based Prince Street Pizza has been putting out episodes of “Delivering Happiness,” a YouTube series starring actor Nick Turturro. Lawrence Longo, the CEO of Prince Street Pizza and Irv's Burgers, is the brainchild behind “Delivering Happiness,” having gotten his start as a film producer before getting into the restaurant industry. Prince Street Pizza is in the middle of expanding nationwide – new locations are opening soon in Nashville and Charleston – and the show is part of the company's brand awareness strategy. This week, Longo joins senior reporter Gabriela Barkho and special projects editor Melissa Daniels on the Modern Retail Podcast. Longo breaks down his approach to storytelling and why he's bullish on original content fueling Prince Street's growth. "I think every brand is their own media company," Longo said. This episode gets into: The time and investment needed to create consistently viral moments. The logistics behind pulling off a project like “Delivering Happeniness." Why brands should not expect authentic content to drive instant sales.

What if there was a clinically proven approach that could improve cancer survivability, support remission, and help protect healthy cells during treatment—yet most people have never heard about it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Valter Longo, one of the world's leading researchers in longevity and cancer science, to uncover the groundbreaking research behind fasting and fasting mimicking diets. He has spent decades researching aging, fasting, cancer prevention, and longevity. His work on fasting mimicking diets is now being implemented in hospitals and clinics around the world. In the episode, we're going to dive deep into how strategic nutrition can influence cellular repair, metabolic health, inflammation, and even cancer outcomes. You're also going to discover how fasting impacts cancer cells differently than healthy cells, why metabolic flexibility matters for longevity, and how modern lifestyles are accelerating chronic disease. Dr. Longo also breaks down the connection between nutrition and cancer prevention, the role of protein intake in aging, and practical ways to improve your health span while reducing your risk of disease. In this episode you'll discover: Introduction to fasting mimicking diets and their impact on cancer survivability. (00:00) How green tea and matcha support autophagy and metabolic health.

Newton saw in the human hand proof of the divine; Darwin saw a key to our species' success. Many others, too, have described the hand in hyperbolic terms, as a paragon of design, a cornerstone of human uniqueness, an engine of our achievements. But what makes the human hand so powerful? Is it the proportions of the fingers? Is it the opposability of the thumb? Or, could it be none of this? Could it be that the real power of our hands lies—not in the physical design—but elsewhere, out of sight? My guest today is Dr. Matt Longo. Matt is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Birkbeck, University of London. He's the author of the recent book, The Invisible Hand, a wide-ranging tour of the human hand and how it's geared into the brain. Here, Matt and I talk about the difference between the "visible hand"—that is, its physical structure—and the "invisible hand"—its representation in the brain. We consider the evolution of the visible hand and whether there really is anything truly distinctive or impressive about it. We talk about the biology of touch. We tour the invisible hand, discussing how—through cortical magnification—the hand becomes over-represented in the brain's sensory maps. We catalogue a fews ways that the hands can go awry. And we talk about whether we should feel any nostalgia for all the hand-based activities and crafts that we're losing. Along the way, we also touch on star-nosed moles and raccoons; tetrapods and the primitive archetype; hand dominance; the parallel between a horse's knee and a human's wrist; tool use, plasticity and abstraction; homunculi; the rubber-hand illusion; supernumerary fingers; the Third Thumb project; and the question of what it might unlock if dolphins had hands. Alright, friends, this is a fun one. On to my interview with Dr. Matt Longo!

What happens when a researcher studying pregnancy becomes a patient navigating her own autoimmune diagnosis? In this powerful episode of The MotherToBaby Podcast, genetic counselor Chris Stallman, CGC, sits down with Dr. Christina Longo, Assistant Professor at the University of Montreal and perinatal epidemiologist, to discuss her lived experience managing rheumatoid arthritis during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dr. Longo shares how her first diagnosis during pregnancy reshaped her research focus—from child outcomes to the importance of maternal health, mental wellbeing, and self-advocacy. She opens up about the difficult decisions she faced around medication safety, breastfeeding, and treatment during pregnancy, and how patient-led communities and research studies helped her find strength and clarity. Listeners will learn: -How autoimmune diseases can change during pregnancy and postpartum -Why controlled treatment plans matter before conception -The emotional and physical toll of navigating chronic illness while pregnant -The importance of participating in pregnancy studies to improve care for future parents Whether you're living with a chronic condition, supporting someone who is, or counseling patients through pregnancy, this episode sheds light on the urgent need for research, empathy, and balanced care for both parent and baby.
Veio o vento e a chuva. Vieram a “Krirstin”, o “Leonardo” e a Marta. Voaram telhados, morreram vizinhos. O Governo fez promessas de ajudas rápidas e auto-elogios e, no dia 28 de abril, apresentou o PTRR, um plano de médio e longo prazo para todo o país. Mas no distrito de Leiria (e noutras zonas do país) ainda há estradas cortadas, pessoas desalojadas e empresas em dificuldades. Passados quase 100 dias do início do comboio de tempestades , e Expresso está esta semana em Leiria preparar uma edição que quer mostrar que não nos esquecemos de quem ainda não recuperou. E a Comissão Política também se reuniu a partir daquela cidade para debater as necessidades das populações e as respostas do Governo. Nesta edição do podcast feita a partir de Leiria, mas também ligado a Lisboa, participam os comissários residentes David Dinis e Vítor Matos e as jornalistas Paula Caeiro Varela, que acompanhou a apresentação do PTRR, e a Juliana Simões, jornalista da secção de Economia que viveu e tem família no concelho vizinho de Ourém, em Caxarias.

GLP-1s are the fastest growing drug trend in health right now. But a 30-year fasting study says there's something every user needs to know before their next dose. Dr. Valter Longo has spent 30 years studying aging and longevity at USC, running over 40 clinical trials on what actually makes people live longer and healthier. What he found challenges almost everything the wellness industry is pushing right now, from 16-hour fasting windows to high-protein diets to GLP-1 drugs. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Dr. Longo breaks down the science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), why 12 hours of fasting beats 16, and what centenarians around the world actually eat. He also shares his latest research on cancer, Alzheimer's, and why your body already has the tools to heal itself if you stop getting in its way. It's time to ask the right questions about the hottest longevity trends that are costing people more than helping them. What's Discussed: (2:01) Who is Dr. Longo and the training behind his research. (3:18) The hypothesis behind why we should be fasting differently. (5:39) What a Fasting Mimicking Diet actually contains and why. (7:27) The difference between the longevity diet and the FMD.

Dr. Valter Longo explains how fasting-mimicking diets make cancer cells vulnerable to treatment while protecting healthy tissue, plus the clinical evidence, safety protocols, and why oncologists remain skeptical.Dr. Valter Longo, author of "Fasting Cancer," breaks down decades of research on using fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) alongside conventional cancer therapies. Cancer cannot be starved but it can be metabolically weakened by limiting resources which a the same time protects healthy cells. A process known as differential stress resistance. We cover: the mechanism behind why this works, clinical trial results in triple-negative breast cancer and other aggressive cancers, the surprising data on weight loss and cachexia, BMI cutoffs and safety protocols, how to approach your oncologist, prevention versus treatment applications, and the cutting-edge "escape pathway" research that could transform personalized cancer treatment. Dr Longo addresses the elephant in the room: why, despite promising results in both mouse models and human trials, this approach faces massive institutional and regulatory barriers to becoming standard of care. Practical, evidence-based information for patients, caregivers, and anyone interested in the intersection of nutrition and cancer biology.
You've probably been told to "just let it go." Dr. Angela Longo says that's the wrong instruction and offers an alternative: replace it. I'm joined by Dr. Longo, a UC Berkeley–trained biochemist with decades of experience spanning stress biochemistry, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and holistic healing — and the author of Relationshifting: Tools for Living Quantum Resplendence. We dig into what she means by quantum waves and why she treats them as information you can update through what you believe, feel, say, and do. She shares the personal moment that changed her path, then explains how her tools aim to shift patterns behind stress, worry, pain, and the stories we repeat about ourselves.We also get practical. Dr. Longo walks us through how she helps someone uncover their life purpose using their own proud moments and language, then shows how "Bath Wave" works as an embodied practice that uses the five senses to face a pattern and install a replacement in the present tense. Along the way, we explore relationships as mirrors — a concept at the heart of Relationshifting — along with "entinglement" as her plain-language spin on entanglement, and why connection can matter more than chasing happiness. We even talk about manifestation and the law of attraction, and why she believes you manifest what you live, not what you want.If you're curious about quantum healing, mind-body wellness, purpose-driven living, and simple tools you can actually try, listen through to the guided exercise near the end.

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful Catholic conversion story, we explore the life of Bartolo Longo—a man who became deeply involved in occult and spiritualist practices, only to find himself overwhelmed by fear, confusion, and a loss of peace.Some accounts describe him as a “satanic priest,” not because he was ordained, but because of how deeply he had immersed himself in these practices and led others in them.At his lowest point, he was given simple advice: return to the Rosary.What followed was not an instant transformation, but a slow and real return to God—one prayer at a time.This episode explores the dangers of the occult, the Church's teaching on spiritual practices, and the quiet but powerful role of the Rosary in bringing peace, clarity, and conversion.If you've ever struggled, felt far from God, or wondered how to begin again—this story is for you.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com
Longevity expert Dr. Valter Longo dives deep into the science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet and why it holds a significant edge over traditional water-only fasting. Dr. Longo explains how the FMD is engineered to trigger cellular cleanup while providing essential nutrients that protect muscle mass and maintain gut integrity—avoiding the leaky gut risks seen in water-only trials WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Safety and Compliance: Unlike water-only fasting, which can cause hypotension and hypoglycaemia, the FMD is designed to be safer and much easier for the average person to complete. Gut Health Protection: Emerging research suggests that water-only fasting can actually increase leaky gut symptoms in mice Muscle Maintenance: The FMD utilises specific carbon sources like glycerol to support glucose production, which prevents the body from breaking down muscle tissue for energy during the fast.

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Professor Matthew Longo. Longo describes the tension at the campsite where East German refugees, monitored by Stasi agents, gathered. He recounts the chaotic border breakthrough, highlighting the moral choice of Hungarian guards who allowed refugees to cross into Austria rather than shooting, marking a bloodless victory for freedom. 2016 GERMANY
Professor Matthew Longo. Longo details the geopolitical backdrop of 1989, focusing on Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Németh. He explains Németh's clash with Romania's Ceaușescu and a pivotal, secret meeting with Gorbachev, where Németh received tacit approval to dismantle the Iron Curtain's physical border defenses. 1960S
Professor Matthew Longo. Longo shifts focus to "radical nobodies," specifically activists Ferenc and Maria, who conceived the Pan-European Picnic. He describes their audacious, naive plan to host a party at the lethal Iron Curtainborder near Sopron, intending to celebrate European togetherness and unwittingly sparking a major historical event. NOVEMBER 1961 BERLIN
Professor Matthew Longo. Reflecting on the site thirty years later, Longo discusses the philosophical implications of freedom using Isaiah Berlin and Hannah Arendt. He contrasts Western "negative liberty" with the solidarity desired by East Germans, noting how the former borderland has transformed into an unremarkable green belt. 1985 CZECH FRONTIER
