What if a plant we spend so much time pulling off our trees and walls is actually a forgotten medicinal ally?Common ivy (Hedera helix) has a complicated reputation. It's abundant, beautiful, and deeply woven into the European landscape, yet many people think of it as an invasive to eradicate rather than something to learn from. In this episode, herbalist Luke Ó hErodáin reveals the forgotten medicinal traditions surrounding common ivy and why he believes this plant deserves a second look. He shares how ivy became one of his most trusted lung herbs, the traditional preparations that caught his attention, and the fascinating history behind its use in European medicine.Luke also shares the story behind the research project that has become one of his major passions: uncovering and translating the work of the French eclectic herbalists. These forgotten practitioners were exploring whole-plant medicine, sophisticated preparations, and local substitutes for exotic herbs at a time when the medical world was rapidly changing. Their work raises some fascinating questions about what we've lost—and what we might rediscover by looking backward.Ready to explore ivy beyond the garden wall? Luke has shared not one, but four recipes for working with this remarkable plant! You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What makes ivy such a powerful herbal ally for people with deep congestion in the lungs► How Luke works with ivy for burns, scars, cellulite, and other skin concerns► Important cautions to consider before using ivy internally► Surprising ways French herbalists used phytochemistry to inform their herbal practice in the early 1900's► How the rise of modern industrial medicine changed the herbalism landscape practically overnight► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Luke Ó hErodáin (Luke Heron), Dip Herb Med, is a medical herbalist based in Ireland and operating his clinic in Cork. He is the current lead of the Herbal Alliance and is actively engaging with professional herbalists in the UK and Ireland to navigate through this digital age through the Herbal Alliance.Before becoming a herbalist, Luke spent a decade in the media and technology industry working in film production, digital marketing and tech deployment, a background that informs his critical perspective on AI and digital ethics. He is an independent researcher focusing on the French Eclectic Doctors, led by Dr. Henri Leclerc (who likely coined the term ‘phytotherapy') and is actively preserving and translating their works. Luke is a foraging instructor dedicated to bridging traditional local and indigenous Irish plant wisdom with modern insights.I hope this conversation leaves you looking a little differently at the plants you pass every day—and perhaps a little more curious about the herbal wisdom hiding in old books, forgotten traditions, and even the plants we've learned to overlook.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Seems like wildfires are everywhere these days. And, the most common thing people will ask an herbalist is, “what herbs do I need for the inhalation of wildfire smoke?” And, they're thinking it's always something to do with the lungs and respiratory health.Which, yes, that's a great start. But, these fires, and their smoke affect so much more than that in our bodies. And, that's what we're digging into with this episode.We're talking about things like:Why thinking of the body as a whole, instead of just one system at a time is important.Using herbs for nervous system supportSupporting the liver, so it can help detoxify our systemsAnd yes, supporting the lungs too.Herbs you'll hear about in this episode are: Hawthorn, Mullein, Licorice, Fennel, Anise Seed, Linden, Milk Thistle, and probably a few more, you'll just have to listen to find out.The thing that a skilled herbalist will do in almost all situations is look beyond the initial issue most folks think you're facing. Because we are beautiful, intricate, complex, and whole beings. And, what may affect one body system, is surely to be having an impact on other systems as well. And, when you learn to think of using herbs in ways like this, you're thinking like an herbalist, and you will have much greater success with herbal remedies.Want to start thinking more like an herbalist, instead of a band-aid fixer?

Shira Boehler's family is full of doctors, and every one of them told her not to get the full-body MRI. She canceled the appointment repeatedly herself, until her husband rebooked it one time too many and she finally went.The scan found a 3.8 centimeter mass in her right lung and labeled it a minor finding, with a note to correlate with symptoms. She had none. She was running six miles a day, the picture of health, and had never smoked. A follow-up CT months later showed the mass had grown, and on the Monday she walked into a pulmonary specialist's office she was told she had an invasive adenocarcinoma. She told him it was probably an EMR error. One week later, surgeons removed half her right lung to treat her cancer.Samira Daswani, host of Patient from Hell and founder of Manta Cares, welcomes lung cancer survivor and bestselling author Shira Boehler for an eye-opening conversation on the part that comes after the story, which is why almost nobody in Shira's position gets caught this early. Screening guidelines currently cover people over 50 with a twenty-pack-per-year smoking history, and fewer than one in five of them actually get scanned, in part because the criteria require disclosing something patients are ashamed of. Shira has been working the problem from both ends since her treatment, negotiating cash prices at imaging centers down to a fraction of what she paid and funding new scans for people who can't cover them through the nonprofit organization she founded, Cancer Doesn't Care.In this episode, Samira and Shira discuss:Why lung cancer is often diagnosed too lateThe importance of early detection and low-dose CT screeningHow people who have never smoked can still develop lung cancerThe stigma surrounding lung cancer diagnosisCurrent lung cancer screening guidelinesInsurance coverage, healthcare access, policy reformHow artificial intelligence may improve cancer screeningWhy patient advocacy is becoming increasingly important in modern healthcareChapters00:00 Introduction01:00 The Full-Body Scan That Changed Everything03:32 Diagnosed With Lung Cancer Despite Having No Symptoms05:30 Access, Privilege & Why Early Detection Isn't Equal07:10 Building the Cancer Doesn't Care Foundation09:21 Why Lung Cancer Screening Needs to Change10:19 Breaking the Stigma Around Lung Cancer12:26 Who Actually Qualifies for Screening?14:23 Changing Public Perception Through Advocacy16:20 Why Patients Must Advocate for Themselves17:15 AI, False Positives & the Future of Cancer Screening20:27 Why Lung Cancer Is Often Diagnosed Too Late21:17 Stage 1 vs. Stage 4 Survival Rates23:25 Shira's Advice for Anyone Considering Lung Cancer ScreeningShira Kupperman Boehler is a finance professional, health advocate, bestselling author, and lung cancer survivor. Shira holds a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from New York University's Stern School of Business. Alongside her husband Adam, she has spent her career building and scaling multibillion-dollar healthcare businesses, developing deep relationships across health systems, payers, and policymakers.After being unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 1B lung adenocarcinoma despite never smoking and having no symptoms, Shira founded Cancer Doesn't Care, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to life-saving lung cancer screening and reducing financial barriers to early detection. She is also the author of the bestselling memoir One Scan Saved My Life, with proceeds supporting patient screening initiatives.

Send us Fan MailSo, why is the Tour de France peloton getting faster and faster? That was the question I posed to UAE Team Emirates boss Mauro Gianetti, Geraint Thomas, and MPCC president Emily Brammeier during the race's record-smashing final week.Later in the episode, we head into the heart of the Alps, and then down onto the boulevards of Paris for an audio retrospective of the Tour's epic final weekend, featuring a chat on the Alpe d'Huez finish line with podcast alum Conor Delves, the star and creator of the acclaimed Cadel Evans play Lungs on Legs, who was busy hanging out with cycling royalty and prepping his next run of shows in the Alps.I also chatted to some British fans who made the pilgrimage to Alpe d'Huez (including one couple who'd been there for five days before the race arrived), and climbed to the roof of the Tour, the Col du Galibier, before embarking on the long, long drive back to Paris for the Tour's thrilling finale on the slopes of Montmartre and the cobbles of the Champs-Élysées. And a few celebratory end-of-Tour beers too, of course.

When wildfire smoke fills the air, supporting the lungs is only part of the picture.Here, I share the three-part strategy I use when formulating an herbal tea for smoky days.► Support the lungs. Learn why I turn to plantain, a soothing demulcent herb, to help calm irritated respiratory tissues and why recent clinical research supports its traditional use.► Support the heart. Wildfire smoke has been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular problems through inflammation and oxidative stress. I explain why herbs like hawthorn and linden are part of my approach.► Support the nervous system. The smoke isn't the only challenge. The worry and fear that accompany wildfire season deserve care too, which is why calming herbs are an important part of the blend.I also share the herbal tea I formulated with hawthorn, hibiscus, plantain, linden, and holy basil to support all three systems together. You can get the recipe here.Important note: No herbal tea is protective against hazardous air quality. During severe smoke events, reducing your exposure and using clean indoor air remain the most effective ways to protect your health.

Wildfire smoke used to feel like someone else's problem. Now it can show up on air quality alerts hundreds of miles from any actual fire, and for anyone with asthma, that hazy sky can mean real trouble breathing. In this episode, Kortney and Dr. Gupta are joined by Dr. Neelu Tummala, an ENT physician and climate health expert, to talk about why wildfires are getting more frequent and intense, what is actually in wildfire smoke, and the everyday steps that can protect your lungs, your family, and even your pets. What we cover in this episode about wildfire smoke and asthma Why wildfires are intensifying. Warmer, drier conditions have extended the wildfire season by about a month compared with 35 years ago. What's actually in the smoke. PM2.5 particles make up most of wildfire smoke's mass and are small enough to slip past your body's natural filters. How it affects your body. Smoke can irritate the nose, throat, and ears before it ever reaches your lungs, and it can also affect heart and brain health. Who's most at risk. Babies, kids, older adults, pregnant women, and anyone with asthma, COPD, or heart disease need extra caution. How to protect yourself. Check the AQI, wear a well-fitted N95, run air purifiers, and keep pets indoors during smoky days.

The heaviest wildfire smoke in Chicago history has cleared away -- for now. But many Chicagoans are wondering just how damaging it is to our lungs, and if health experts are concerned about the smoke's growing presence during the summer months.  Host - Jon Hansen Guest - Dr. Samuel Fox, Rush Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Tracheostomy care is a highly specialised clinical area, but when it comes to infants and children, the complexities multiply. Pediatric care requires a completely unique approach that accounts for anatomical differences, developmental milestones, and family dynamics. In this episode, Louise Edwards, Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and PhD candidate, joins us to explore the realities of pediatric tracheostomy care from an SLT perspective. Together, we examine the core clinical priorities, unpack the key differences between pediatric and adult management, and discuss the often-overlooked challenges of transitioning young people with complex needs from pediatric to adult services. Key takeaways: Pediatric vs. Adult Care: Understanding the critical physiological, anatomical, and developmental differences clinicians must recognize. SLT Clinical Priorities: Establishing communication, developmental feeding, and swallowing safety in infants and children with a tracheostomy. The “Trach” vs. The Underlying Condition: Teasing apart how much swallowing and feeding difficulties are caused by the tracheostomy tube itself versus the child’s broader medical and developmental profile. Transitions to Adulthood: Practical considerations for the multidisciplinary team to ensure young people and their families don't feel lost when moving into adult services. The Future of Care: A forward-looking discussion on hoped-for advancements in family support and clinical care over the next five years. Networks: Global Tracheostomy Collaborative: not SLT specific, but they have a great website and provide research and webinars focused on supporting people living with a tracheostomy and their families across the age, as well as healthcare professionals.

He Collapsed My Lungs & Ended Up WANTED w/ Kristin Swan (TW abuse) | The Hopeaholics Podcast #345Kristin grew up in Lakeville, Massachusetts, an hour south of Boston, in a house where disease was already present before she arrived at it. Her mother drank and went to meetings and died the day right after Mother's Day. Both her cousins are gone from fentanyl poisoning. By 15 she was cycling in and out of psychiatric hospitals, diagnosed bipolar, put on lithium, hearing voices. She hadn't touched a drug yet.By 20 she was in a relationship with a man dealing crack out of their apartment. She saw the red flags early. She stayed anyway. It all ended in a snowstorm when he body-slammed her, collapsed both lungs, and stomped her head with Timberlands on while she was in the bathtub. She created a diversion, kicked the wall, and ran out barefoot into the snow while he searched for her. She hid in the bushes behind a neighbor's house and a man who barely spoke English called an ambulance. When she did find sobriety, it looked like what the promises are supposed to look like. A good sponsor. An interior design job. Things starting to make sense. Then a relapse. Now she's coming back. She's working the program again, going to bonfire meetings on the beach, building something small and clean, trying to put God first and figure out the rest from there. TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

What if one medicinal herb could change the way you think about healing—not just in the body, but across entire ecosystems?Pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa), also called butterfly weed, is often thought of as a lung herb. But as this conversation with herbalist, farmer, and nurse Linda Shanahan reveals, this brilliant orange wildflower has a much bigger story to tell—one that stretches from monarch butterflies to microbiomes.In this episode, Linda shares the remarkable story of transforming a chemically treated sod farm into a thriving wildlife sanctuary where native plants, pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects returned together. Along the way, we explore pleurisy root's medicinal uses, why it's such an important plant for monarch butterflies, and how thinking like an herbalist invites us to see connections everywhere, from restoring habitats to supporting the microbiome within our own bodies.This episode's “recipe” card is something a little different: a guide to creating your own Monarch Medicinal Mini Garden. You can learn how to create a beautiful habitat that nourishes monarch butterflies while incorporating native medicinal plants into your landscape—find your copy here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The surprising scent of pleurisy root that strongly hints at who it's meant to help► How pleurisy root can support specific respiratory conditions in ways that conventional Western medicine simply can't► Special considerations for using pleurisy root medicinally► Practical tips for successfully growing milkweed from seed► Why planting milkweed alone isn't enough—and what monarch butterflies really need to thrive► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Linda Shanahan is an herbalist, registered nurse, and community health educator who co-owns an organic herb farm and farm-to-bottle apothecary in Doylestown, Pennsylvania with her husband, Eric. Together, they cultivate and craft herbal extracts rooted in ecological integrity and bioregional connection.Linda's journey began over 25 years ago apprenticing with herbalists Howie Brounstein and Steven Yeager in Eugene, Oregon, where she first discovered the profound spiritual nourishment found in wildcrafting and the intimate dialogue between people, plants and place.This conversation with Linda is a beautiful reminder that every medicinal herb exists not in isolation, but within a web of relationships. I hope it inspires you to deepen your own connections—with the plants growing around you and the ecosystems that sustain us all.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Dreams and Determination: Meet four Inspiring students, Living with cystic fibrosis. One of the greatest joys of The Bonnell Foundation is helping young adults living with cystic fibrosis pursue their educational dreams. Every year, we award scholarships to students attending universities, trade schools, and community colleges. While these scholarships help with tuition and expenses, they also send an important message: we believe in these students and in the futures they are building. Living with cystic fibrosis often means balancing classes, careers, friendships, and family life alongside daily treatments, medications, and frequent medical appointments. For many families, the financial burden of CF can make the cost of higher education even more challenging. That's why our scholarship program is so meaningful. Each year, our top recipients receive $2,500 to help them continue their education and pursue their goals. The thank-you notes we receive from recipients are heartfelt reminders that a scholarship is about much more than money. It is about hope, opportunity, and encouragement. On this week's podcast, we are honored to introduce four remarkable scholarship recipients whose determination and resilience inspire us. Serena Scillia is a 20-year-old from Westerville, Ohio, attending Bowling Green State University. Serena is studying Early Childhood Education and hopes to become a teacher. When she's not focused on her studies, she enjoys coaching volleyball, reading, and spending time with her family and beloved dog. Serena's passion for helping others shines through in her career choice, and she's determined to make a difference in the lives of children. Jayla Jacobs has been living with cystic fibrosis since she was diagnosed at age five. Now 18 years old, she has already become a powerful advocate for the CF community. Jayla has spoken at multiple fundraising and awareness events, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Guys and Dolls Auction Gala, where she helped raise an incredible $2.2 million for CF research. This fall, she will begin studying English at North Carolina State University. Jayla loves outdoor adventures, drawing, and writing stories. She also understands the impact of CF on families, with two of her brothers living with the disease as well. Isabella Banaszynski is preparing for an exciting new chapter as she heads to Drexel University in Philadelphia this fall. An accomplished club wrestler and aspiring architect, Isabella has already demonstrated the discipline and determination needed to succeed in demanding environments. She plans to major in Architecture while continuing to pursue her athletic interests. Isabella's journey is proof that living with CF does not define what is possible. Ben Ferguson attends Taylor University and is majoring in Finance. Originally from Columbus, Indiana, Ben comes from a large family with four brothers and one sister. While he is the only member of his family living with cystic fibrosis, he has never allowed the disease to limit his ambitions. Ben is focused on building a successful future while managing the daily challenges that come with CF. These four young adults represent the strength, perseverance, and optimism that define so many people in the cystic fibrosis community. Their stories remind us that while CF can create obstacles, it does not determine a person's potential. Join us on this week's podcast as Serena, Jayla, Isabella, and Ben share their experiences living with cystic fibrosis, pursuing higher education, and what receiving a Bonnell Foundation scholarship means to them. Their stories are inspiring, their goals are ambitious, and their futures are bright. This is exactly why The Bonnell Foundation continues its scholarship program year after year: to invest in dreams, support determination, and help the next generation of leaders living with cystic fibrosis reach their full potential.

https://teachhoops.com/ If you walk into a basketball facility in the dead of winter on a freezing Tuesday afternoon in January, you can instantly feel the energy deficit. Lungs are heavy, legs are burning from a multi-game weekend stretch, and the gym is completely quiet. In a typical basketball program, the head coach reacts to this quiet atmosphere by pacing the baseline and screaming at the top of their lungs, desperately trying to inject excitement into a flat group of athletes. But if you are a masterclass program builder, you know that trying to force empty excitement from the sideline is a losing battle. Fake enthusiasm introduces an operational leak into your culture. It keeps your roster trapped in a model of robotic, coach-fed compliance. In this episode, we step directly into the "Truth Room" to flip this dynamic entirely on its head by analyzing a critical diagnostic question. We break down how to transition from an exhausting model where you are the sole source of motivation into an elite, high-transfer ecosystem where Activity Density, structural constraints, and player-led accountability naturally generate a high-velocity workspace every single afternoon. To accurately audit whether your practice energy is sustainable or merely a superficial, coach-driven illusion, you must evaluate your environment through this specific lens: "If you completely locked your vocal cords, put your whistle in your pocket, and stood silently on the baseline for an entire two-hour practice, what level of intensity, vocal communication, and competitive friction would your players actively sustain on their own?" If the energy in your gym immediately drops to zero the moment you close your mouth, your program is stuck in Level 2 compliance. Your players are Coach-Fed actors waiting for a joystick instruction. If the gym stays at a roaring, high-hands championship standard, you have successfully built a Level 4 player-led powerhouse that brings its own "gym juice" to the hardwood. You cannot simply demand energy; you must build a high-transfer practice environment that naturally extracts it through the following structural pillars: When players stand in a single-file line of eight people waiting to take a casual finishing shot, their core temperature drops, their focus drifts, and their energy plummets. The Blueprint: Your practice script must feature a mandatory Multi-Ball architecture. Ensure that at least 70% of your roster is actively catching, moving, or passing concurrently across all available baskets. High rep density leaves zero room for conversational laziness. You should never carry the burden of being the only high-energy signal in the gym. Allocate specific structural roles to your assistant coaches based on their unique DNA to keep the floor moving at a rapid clip. The Blueprint: Empower The Organizer to completely command the practice clock, managing sprinted drill transitions to eliminate dead time. Unleash The Antagonist to act as your bad-cop culture enforcer—the voice that stops the clock instantly the second a player soft-recovers on a closeout or drops their hands through fatigue. When your players face extreme physical exhaust or a tough, high-friction scrimmage deficit, they will naturally want to retreat into quiet isolation. The Blueprint: Mandate a streamlined, high-signal language. Replace passive, empty apologies ("My fault, coach") with an immediate physical reset command: "Next Play Speed." When the focus starts to fracture, banish sideline coaching lectures and demand that your athletes step up to "Own The Room." This simple linguistic boundary forces your players to become the ultimate enforcers of the energy standard. Coach's Note: "Stop trying to be a cheerleader for your basketball team. If you have to bring all the juice to the gym every single afternoon, you are going to be completely burnt out by February, and your players will crumble the second they play a tough road game in a hostile environment. Stop over-coaching effort. Clean up your practice clock, maximize your rep density, implement small-sided socratic constraints, and force your players to own the room. Build a self-policing powerhouse." Title Ideas: Does Your Basketball Team Pass This Critical Energy Test? Stop Screaming at Your Players!

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.23) The Boyle Heights warehouse INFERNO is out of control — 60 MILLION gallons of water and STILL burning. Tim Conway Jr. breaks down the Lineage cold-storage disaster that's blanketed LA in hazardous smoke for SEVEN straight days. World-class pulmonologist Dr. Ray Casciari (St. Joseph, Orange) reveals the SHOCKING truth about what you're breathing right now — and why N95 and P100 masks aren't optional anymore. Ammonia leaks, fine-particle warnings, shelter-in-place orders… is YOUR neighborhood next? PLUS: Gov. Newsom declares a STATE OF EMERGENCY. Mayor Karen Bass scrambles for resources.

"Many people have their own thing that lights them on fire, for me, it's running" say Katie O'Grady.  CF modulator drugs changes are a game changer for people living with cystic fibrosis. Katie O'Grady's story is a powerful reflection of how dramatically life with cystic fibrosis has changed in the era of CF modulators, and what becomes possible when hope replaces survival mode. A runner, speaker, and cystic fibrosis advocate in Boston, Katie redefined what it means to live with CF. Katie inspires us by talked about her shift in mindset and how it changed everything: she stopped thinking of herself as “a CF patient who runs” and began identifying as “a runner who happens to have CF.” That subtle but profound change transformed not only the way she trained, but the way she cared for herself, viewed her future, and moved through the world. For much of her life, Katie lived the reality many people with CF know too well — moving from infection to infection, never fully certain what the next year, or even the next season, might bring. At 18, she battled a devastating case of pneumonia that forced her to confront the fragility of her health. But in 2019, everything changed with the arrival of Trikafta. For the first time, Katie could imagine a future without immediately attaching fear or limitations to it. She speaks candidly about what it means to rebuild trust in your body after years of illness, and how running became far more than exercise. It became freedom, therapy, identity, and proof that her diagnosis did not get to define the boundaries of her life. Katie opens up about taking the longest break from running she'd ever experienced, wondering if she would ever return, and discovering that what she missed most wasn't competition — it was the clarity, peace, and sense of self she found while moving.

In this episode of the RCP Medicine Podcast, respiratory consultant and clinical lead for environmental sustainability Dr Thom Daniels joins host Dr David Charles to explore why air quality should be treated as a core clinical issue rather than a distant environmental concern. Drawing on landmark coroner's cases, including the deaths of Ella Adoo Kissi Debrah and Awaab Ishak, they examine how outdoor and indoor pollution contribute to asthma, COPD, cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia and health inequalities across the life course. The discussion covers practical ways to ask about air quality in consultations, from unexplained coughs to secondary prevention clinics, and sets out simple, evidence informed advice clinicians can offer to patients. They also consider policy and global perspectives, racial and social justice dimensions, and how clinicians can support patients who feel fatalistic about the environment.Resources https://www.rcp.ac.uk/policy-and-campaigns/policy-documents/a-breath-of-fresh-air-responding-to-the-health-challenges-of-modern-air-pollution/ https://www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-media/news-and-opinion/air-pollution-linked-to-30-000-uk-deaths-in-2025-and-costs-the-economy-and-nhs-billions-warns-royal-college-of-physicians/https://www.rcp.ac.uk/media/5r2kmmi4/rcp-full-report-a-breath-of-fresh-air-responding-to-the-health-challenges-of-modern-air-pollution.pdfThe RCP's six-step programme for the new consultant | RCP Explore our CPD portfolio by your career stageEducation and professional developmentLeadership CPDTeach the teacherEducational supervisorSix-step programme RCP Social MediaInstagramLinkedInFacebookBlueskyMusic Ep 50 onward - Bensound.com  Ep 1 - 49 'Impressive Deals' - Nicolai Heidlas Any adverts within this podcast may use computer generated voices

“Take in your final breath before your first new one.”  Those were the words Jillian heard before her double lung transplant—words that would mark the end of one life chapter and the beginning of another. Jillian is 34 years old, living with cystic fibrosis, and a double lung transplant recipient. Her story is one of resilience, loss, hope, and purpose. From being diagnosed at birth to navigating adulthood, Jillian has faced more than most, but she continues to show up for her life and for others in the cystic fibrosis community. Jillian shares what it was like growing up with CF, supported by family and shaped by early connections within the community. She reflects on how advocates like Emily Schaller and the Rock CF Foundation influenced her outlook and helped her feel less alone. We also talk about her college years, what it meant to pursue independence while managing a complex disease, and how life shifted as her health declined into end-stage lung failure. Jillian walks us through the transplant process, not just medically, but emotionally—the fear, the uncertainty, and the strength it takes to keep going. One of the most profound parts of Jillian's story is the loss of her twin brother. She opens up about that grief and how it continues to shape her perspective, her resilience, and her compassion for others. Throughout it all, Jillian emphasizes the importance of support systems and mental health—especially during the transplant journey. No one goes through something like this alone, and her story is a reminder of how critical connection and care truly are. Today, Jillian looks toward the future with hope. She shares her dreams of building a family, continuing her advocacy work, and expanding the impact of the nonprofit she founded, Jillian's Jay Walkers Organization. Her story is not just about survival—it's about living with intention, honoring loss, and creating something meaningful from it all.

We are in the third week of our four-part series on the 5th-largest killer in America.  This week, we talk about the diagnostics that can help prevent Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease and the tests that can help provide a roadmap to actually reverse it.  In this episode, you'll learn:—How Asthma is the majority of CLRD cases, while COPD is the number one category of CLRD deaths.—Why the Spirometry Lung Function Test is the most important tool to diagnose the Lungs.  And why Dr. Prather does not charge for follow-up Spirometry tests for those with severe Lung problems. —What factors Dr. Prather looks for to determine when  a Chest X-Ray is needed or when CT imaging is required for a patient.  And the common calcification Dr. Prather sees on Chest X-Rays due to Indianapolis being the "Histoplasmosis Capitol of America". —The importance of Vitamin D testing for respiratory health and the role it played during COVID.  And why Dr. Prather believes CLRD could be lowered by 85% if people just keep their Vitamin D levels in proper range.—The importance of Vitamin A as the recommended treatment for Measles.  And the history behind Cod Liver Oil as a great supplement for kids.—The importance of a Pulse Oximeter to check Blood Oxygen levels as a standard screening for all patients. —How Hair Analysis has been an important key to the health of so many patients, such as identifying toxic heavy metals like Cadmium which cause long-term damage to the Lungs. —Why Dr. Prather believes Sputum Cultures are under-utilized. —How a Stool Kit plays an important role for Lung health by identifying leaky gut issues that lead to Food Allergies.  Plus, how Parasites are a big cause of severe childhood Asthma and adult-onset Asthma.—Why too LOW levels of Hydrochloric Acid "almost always kicks off allergies" and is the reason for GERD and heartburn.  And why Proton Pump Inhibitors like Pepcid actually make the problem worse by lowering the Hydrochloric Acid in your stomach even more.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

AI Agents vs Human Intuition PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Start with the “Why” Behind Your WeightSuccessful weight management begins with a clear purpose. Whether the goal is to improve health, prevent disease, increase longevity, or feel better physically and mentally, a strong personal reason creates the motivation needed to stay committed when challenges arise.2. Five Drug-Free Strategies Can Help Optimize WeightThe podcast highlights five evidence-based approaches to weight management: intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating, resistance training, a high-protein diet, optimizing sleep, and improving gut microbiome health. The key is selecting the strategy that best matches your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals.3. Weight Stability Matters as Much as Weight LossLarge fluctuations in body weight may increase dementia risk by as much as 36%. Repeated cycles of weight loss and regain create metabolic stress, while abdominal fat and expanding waist circumference are strongly linked to cognitive decline. The goal is not simply to lose weight but to achieve and maintain a healthy, stable weight.4. Brain Health, Heart Health, and Weight Are Deeply ConnectedObesity, cardiovascular disease, and dementia are closely intertwined. Conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and atrial fibrillation significantly increase dementia risk, particularly when combined with obesity. Maintaining a healthy weight is therefore an investment in both physical vitality and long-term brain function.5. Train Your Lungs Like You Train Your MusclesLung function is an overlooked pillar of vitality. Low blood oxygen saturation is strongly associated with increased mortality risk. Regular deep-breathing exercises and inspiratory muscle training can improve oxygenation, lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and potentially enhance longevity. The podcast frames this as “weightlifting for your lungs” and encourages making breathing exercises a daily habit.Copyright, VyVerse, LLC. All Rights Reserved. This is a public episode.

Storms, gardening wins, and Lauren's surprisingly strategic mosquito-fighting citronella operation. What starts as a wholesome conversation about plants immediately takes a hard left turn into shirtless concertgoers, Busch Stadium tarp-off culture, and one unforgettable performance where audience members decided clothing was entirely optional.Meanwhile, Moon's travel plans hit a snag overseas, but the crew agrees that being stranded in Germany isn't exactly the worst problem a person can have. Eat some bratwurst, grab some schnitzel, and enjoy the delay.The conversation only gets weirder from there.Rizz shares stories from a packed Primus concert full of forty-somethings reliving their glory days, psychedelic mishaps, and enough progressive rock to make your brain do cartwheels. Lauren recaps her weekend performing in Illinois while discovering that Stairway to Heaven apparently inspires men to remove their shirts in large numbers.Then comes one of the biggest revelations of the episode: Rizz officially gets the results of his sleep study. The diagnosis? Moderate sleep apnea. The reactions? Exactly what you'd expect from this crew. CPAP jokes, oral appliance confusion, Bane impressions, and a surprising amount of enthusiasm from listeners who have somehow turned sleep disorders into a lifestyle community.The gang also dives into youth sports after Rizz's son competes in a jiu-jitsu tournament featuring revenge matches, international competitors, and enough chokeholds to humble an entire family.

“Behind every breakthrough are countless failures no one ever sees—but that's exactly what makes progress possible.” Dr. Thomas Kaiser. When I have scientists on the podcast: they're some of the coolest, smartest, funniest people, and they're always willing (and excited) to explain what they do in ways you can actually understand. Dr. Tom Kaiser is no exception. He lives and works in Durham, North Carolina, and brings together an impressive mix of scientist, physician, and entrepreneur. His work focuses on designing better medicines using cutting-edge technology. He began his career at Emory University in Dennis Liotta's lab, working on antiviral drug discovery, and later helped pioneer early machine learning approaches in drug design. His research spans RSV, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and he went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Oxford. Tom is now the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Avicenna Biosciences, where he's leading the development of innovative therapies aimed at improving and saving lives. And my favorite detail from his bio? He ends it by mentioning the love of his life, his wife. I'll be honest, when I first met him, I told Dr. Kaiser he seemed like someone who must have been in a movie. He's just that cool. His Company: Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares the story behind his company's name, Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna a true Renaissance figure of the Islamic Golden Age. A physician, philosopher, and scientist, Ibn Sina embodied the kind of multidisciplinary thinking that still drives innovation today. It's a powerful reminder that the roots of modern medicine, and the spirit of discovery stretch back centuries. The Part We Don't Talk About Enough Science is not a straight line. Not even close. Experiments fail. Clinical trials don't work. Hypotheses fall apart after years of effort. Funding can disappear. Progress can stall in ways that are frustrating and sometimes heartbreaking especially when patients are waiting. Dr. Kaiser speaks about this with a clarity and calm that really stayed with me. Because the truth is: scientists have to keep going anyway. They carry the weight of those disappointments and start again. They adjust, rethink, rebuild, and try again. Over and over. And that persistence? That's where breakthroughs come from. From the outside, it's easy to celebrate the wins ... the new drug, the successful trial, the headlines. But behind every one of those moments are countless failures no one ever sees. For families like ours, waiting, hoping, advocating it matters to understand that this difficult process is also what makes progress possible. Living the Dream What if you actually got to live the dream you had as a kid? In this conversation, Dr. Thomas Kaiser shares something surprisingly personal: he feels lucky to be doing exactly what he dreamed of as a child. That early curiosity grew into a career designing new medicines and pushing the boundaries of science. From imagination to impact, his journey is a reminder that sometimes those childhood passions really can shape the future.

Introduction: Mark 1:8 - I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” Since I'm a Member of the Body of Christ… (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) I shouldn't DOUBT the Part I Play (1 Cor 12:14-20) Because That DENIES My Purpose (1 Cor 12:14-17) Because That DISHONORS God's Design (1 Cor 12:18-20) I shouldn't DOWNPLAY the Roles of Others (1 Cor 12:21-26) By Acting Like I Don't Need ANYONE ELSE (1 Cor 12:21-24) By Exclusively Focusing on My NEEDS (1 Cor 12:25-26) By Shining the Spotlight onto ME (1 Cor 12:27-31) Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Questions and Answers: How is the Church Like a Body? Taylor Brown Download Audio Transcript 00:36Please turn your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 12, verses 12-31. 1 Corinthians 12, verses 12-31. Isn't it frustrating to witness someone not do his or her job correctly? Maybe you have an employee or a direct report who constantly comes late, makes excuses, or has a suspicious number of grandparents that he has funerals he has to attend.01:06How many grandparents do you actually have? You hire a contractor to carry out a project in your house and he makes huge mistakes. And he acts very inconvenient when you come, when you ask him to come back and fix those mistakes. Your waitress has a horrible attitude and never checks on your table because she is constantly texting. You know what's even more frustrating than that? Witnessing or experiencing someone else.01:36not allow others to do their jobs correctly. You watch your favorite team lose yet again because one key player can't get his act together and he messes it up for everybody. You have a boss who is an expert in incompetence. He expects everyone to do their jobs as well as his job. You have a co-worker who makes your job so hard you can't finish this project at work because she has constantly dragging your feet and she is not communicating with you.02:10And instead of accepting that blame, taking it on herself, she points the finger of blame at you and says that it's your fault.02:19You know what's infinitely more frustrating than all the examples I've given already?02:24Witnessing a Christian refuse to do his or her job in the church.02:30or experiencing another Christian attempt to hinder you from carrying out your job in the church. Instead of contributing to the team, this person backs away, tries to go solo and do his or her own thing. Instead of building others up and encouraging them, they tear others down and diminish them. Wasted potential is a sorry sight to behold. Misused talents are squandered resources.03:02Missed opportunities for ministry are to be grieved. As you learned over the past eight months in 1 Corinthians, the church is commanded to be unified and purified. Unfortunately, this unity is undervalued, ignored, and tested by many who should know better. This purity is jeopardized, abused, and cast aside by many who claim to know and love Jesus Christ.03:30Excuses are made and commitments are unkept. Complaints are spoken instead of genuine praise. Zooming in on me and what I want is far more common than focusing on us and what we need. Am I describing you? Am I describing your contribution to the church?04:00Ask yourself, am I contributing to the unity and purity of Harvest Bible Chapel, or am I subtracting from it? Are you neglecting to do your job in the church? Are you standing in the way of others and making it hard for them to carry out their jobs in the church? Take a moment to go before the Lord and consider those questions.04:32Quiet your heart and ask God to convict you today. Ask God to challenge you today. Ask God to change you today. Go to the Lord in prayer. Father, we come before you as your people for the most important appointment of the week. May we not be distracted. Or may we truly dial in to what what you want to teach us this morning. Lord, may you show us who you've called us to be and what you've commanded us to do. I pray we'd all walk out of this room with a different vision of the church and a different idea of what we are called to do individually in the church. I ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen. We are in the Q&A section of 1 Corinthians. Paul is addressing questions that this congregation asked him in a previous And last week, Pastor Jeff showed us Paul's answer to the Corinthians' question about spiritual gifts. Every single believer is given at least one spiritual gift that is to be used to bless the church and advance the gospel. No one is skipped over. No one is forgotten. No one is left giftless. And these gifts are to unite, not divide.06:00And Paul continues to answer this question in chapter 12, verses 12 through 31, by providing a powerful illustration. He compares the unity of the church body to the unity of a physical human body. Check out what he has to say in verse 12 of chapter 12.06:30So it is with Christ. I'm going to ask you a very easy question, and I'm even going to let you cheat to get the right answer. So everyone, look down and give yourself a quick once-over. Come on, go do it. Are you ready for my question? How many bodies do you have? It's not your question. Just one, you got the answer right. Great job.07:01I'm asking you an easy follow-up question. You can look down again if you have to. How many body parts do you have? Do you have more than one body part? Yes, you have more than one. According to Dr. Google, which is never wrong, you have 78 organs, 206 bones, and 30 to 40 trillion cells. You have individual body parts, legs, feet, toes, toenails, arms, Arms, Hands, Hands, Fingers, Fingernails, Heart, Lungs, Kidney, Stomach, Pancreas, Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Nose, Nose, Hairs, Mouth, Teeth, Gums, Tongue, Uvula.07:41And on the list goes. Sorry, Pastor Jeff's uvula was swollen this week, and you're talking about it a lot, so I had to add that.07:50He was sick. That was the reason why.07:54But these individual parts do not operate or function independently from one another.08:00Instead, they work together as one body. They serve different roles. They carry out the same mission to keep you alive and kicking. And Paul is saying this truth about your physical body applies to the church body as well. Yes, we all have different roles. We all have different functions. But we do not operate independently from one another. We work together as one body.08:30same mission to lift high the name of Jesus Christ by making disciples.08:37And you may be thinking, hold on a minute.08:39This illustration seems to break down a bit because I've always had my physical body.08:44It's the only one I've got.08:46How did I become a part of the church body?08:48When did that happen?08:50It's a great question.08:52Thankfully, Paul answers it in verse 13.08:55He says, For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, and all were made to drink of one Spirit. You realize at one point you didn't exist. There was no you. Then you popped into existence and you grew in your mother's womb. And at one point you were born into this world with your physical But if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, if you have been saved and given new life in Him, you have experienced more than just one birth. According to God's Word, you've experienced a new birth. And on your spiritual birthday, you were brought into the body of Christ. You became a part of the body of Christ. And this second birth is a work of the Holy Spirit, who Paul That sounds really cool. What in the world does that mean? Baptized in the Holy Spirit. Well, 2,000 years ago, John the Baptist baptized men and women in water as a sign of their repentance. But John was up front. He was very clear that he was not the point. He was not the be-all and end-all. He came to point to someone greater than him. He says, He says, I baptize with water, but He will baptize with the Holy Spirit.10:37Who is this greater person?10:39Who baptizes with the Holy Spirit?10:42Jesus Christ Himself.10:46This has massive implications for my life, your life, and the life of this church body.10:52This means that I, Taylor Samuel Brown, wasn't just baptized in water on July 30, 2000 by Pastor Jesse Boggs at Northgate Church. Yes, that was an important day. That was an important baptism. But I experienced an even more important day, an even more important baptism years prior. Before that, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ. I was saved from my sins.11:25I was made into a new person.11:27I was brought into the body of Christ.11:32My water baptism was simply an outward symbol of the salvation I experienced.11:39Of this baptism in the Holy Spirit that I experienced.11:45And Paul even says that I drank of the Holy Spirit.11:50Again, sounds great, but what in the world does that mean? Well, think about it this way. When you drink something, you are filled with that liquid, aren't you? Whether it's water, coffee, wild cherry, Pepsi, or kombucha. When you drink a liquid, you are filled with that liquid. When you drink of the Holy Spirit, you are filled with the Holy Spirit. He lives within you. He takes up residence within you.12:20If you have trusted in Christ, you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. You have been filled with the Holy Spirit. In verse 13, Paul mentions different factors that would divide people back in his day. He mentions ethnicity and social status. In 2026, we live in a world where we are constantly being tried to be ripped apart because of our many differences. We have different backgrounds. We have different skin colors. We come from different financial situations. We have different careers. We have different personalities. We have different temperaments. We are different in so many ways. And as we'll discover soon, that is good news to celebrate. But we are the exact same in the most important ways. We have the same Heavenly Father. We have been redeemed by the same Savior.13:20been changed by the same Holy Spirit. We belong to the same body. Our differences may be great, but our unity in Christ and His Spirit is even greater. So after this long and theologically heavy introduction, you may be thinking, all right, this is all very interesting, but what's the point? I get it. I'm a member of the body of Christ.13:49Now, you need to be encouraged to do your job in the body of Christ. Now, you need to be encouraged to let other people do their jobs in the body of Christ. So on your outline, since I'm a member of the body of Christ, number one, I shouldn't doubt the part I play. I shouldn't doubt the part I play.14:19Some of you in this room and watching online struggle to truly believe that you have an important part to play in the life of this church. You may think to yourself, I mean, sure, this is my church and I'm involved, but if I left, nothing would change. No one would notice. I don't have an upfront role that matters. I don't play an instrument. I don't really matter here. And as one of your pastors, it deeply saddens me that some of you feel that way about you.14:51It deeply saddens me that you believe a lie about yourself instead of believing what God's word says about who you are. You do matter. You do have a part to play at Harvest. This church does need you and it wouldn't be the same without you. And I'm not just saying that to make you feel good. I'm saying that because that's what God's word says. Listen to what Paul says in verses 14 through 17.15:19For the body does not consist of one member, but of many. If the foot should say, because I'm not a hand, I do not belong to the body, that would not make it any less part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?15:49I didn't doubt the part I play. Letter A on your outline, because that denies my purpose. Because that denies my purpose. You claiming that you have no part to play in the body of Christ because you don't have the gifting of another person is as ridiculous as your foot saying, I have no part to play in the body because I'm not a hand. I'll never be able to hammer a nail into the wall. I'll never be able to type on a keyboard, so I just give up.16:18I mean, sure, your hands can't do, your feet can't do what your hands can do. But your hands can't do what your feet can do as well, right? Walking is pretty important, right? Most of you don't agree with that. Walking is really important, right? Your hands can't do that. Okay, good. Man, you are sitting right now, but eventually you will have to get up and walk away.16:45You claiming that you have no part to play in the body of Christ is as insane as your ears saying, I have no part to play in the body because I'll never be able to look at the Grand Canyon. I'll never be able to stare up at a starry night. So I'm just going to tune out and call it a day. I mean, yeah, your eye is important, but your eyes can't do what your ears can do. Without your ears, you wouldn't be able to hear anything. Just imagine if your entire body was just just one feature. Eyes are beautiful, aren't they? I love my wife's eyes the most, and I could stare into her eyes for hours. But imagine if Kate was just a big eyeball and nothing else. There's a big eye bouncing around my house and sleeping in the bed next to me at night. That sounds like the premise of a horror movie. I mean, yeah, I'd still love her because I made a vow to her 12 years ago, but That'd be pretty rough. That'd be hard. A big eye has 20-20 vision, but it can't really do anything else. A big ear has great hearing, but it can't really do much else. Now imagine if every single person in this church had the same exact gifting and function. Would that be productive or disastrous? It would be a total and complete I have been in a room with thousands of preachers before.18:20Imagine if those thousands of preachers tried to carry out the same function in the same church.18:27There would be arguments about who does what.18:29The bills would never get paid.18:31The building would fall in disrepair and probably burn down.18:34Preaching is an essential function of the church, but is not the only function.18:41Some of you men in this room do have a preaching gift.18:44We are so thankful for you. You realize it's very different. It's very unique to have this many guys who can preach a message in a church. That doesn't happen everywhere. God has gifted this church. But others of you guys do not have a preaching gift. And that is not something to be upset about. That is not a bad thing. Not everybody has the gift of preaching. Not everyone has an upfront role.19:14If your part is behind the scenes, it matters. Maybe your part is in the AV booth. Without Mike back there, without all the AV team back there, no one would be able to hear the sermons. I'd just scream at the top of my lungs for you to hear me. Without Ben and Lincoln working on the sermons afterwards, people across the country and across the world wouldn't be able to hear it, which does happen.19:43Maybe your part is being on the prayer team. You show the rest of the body what it looks like to faithfully lift up the needs of the saints to the Lord. Maybe your part is security. You function as the antibodies of the church that keeps the rest of the body safe. Maybe your part is working at Harvest Academy or working as an adult leader in Arrow. You are training up the future generation in Jesus Christ.20:14is leading a small group. You are on the front lines of congregational care and discipleship. Maybe your part is on the relocation and building committee with Pastor Rich and the others. You help formulate the budget. You count on Sundays. I can keep going and going and going. Without a doubt, you do have a part to play. Stop believing that you do not matter. Stop being envious of others. Stop denying your purpose at harvest.20:45I shouldn't doubt the part I play because that denies my purpose. Letter B, I shouldn't doubt the part I play because that dishonors God's design. Because that dishonors God's design. Let's look at verses 18 through 20. But as it is, God arranges the members in the body, each one of them as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be?21:18When you badmouth a team's starting lineup and strategies, who are you ultimately dishonoring? The coach who decides who starts and designs the place. If you pick apart every single detail of a restaurant and complain about it to everyone that you know, who are you dishonoring ultimately? The manager, the owner, who decides who to hire, who makes all the big decisions. If you complain about your gifting and part in the body, who are you ultimately dishonoring? God himself. He is the one who created you. He is the one who designed his church. Paul says that God arranges the members in the body, each of them as he chose. When you are discontent with your part in the church, you aren't just hurting yourself, and you are hurting yourself.22:13You aren't just shortchanging your fellow members. You aren't just making ministry hard for the pastors, elders, and other leaders. You are accusing God. You are saying something about Him that is not true. You are shouting this message to your Creator. God, you made a mistake with me. I deserve a do-over. You could have done better. Is that a great message to send to the most important and powerful person the universe. No, it is not. Because God doesn't need a do-over. Because he nails everything on the first try. God did not make a mistake with you. He designs you purposefully and puts you into his church with purpose and design. It's a complete waste of time, energy, and effort to resist the Lord. So cut it out. Get on board with his plans for the body. Lean into your God-given part instead of backing away from it. Do your job in the church because it was personally chosen for you. Since I'm a member of the body of Christ, I shouldn't doubt the part I play. Since I'm a member of the body of Christ, number two on your outline, I shouldn't downplay the roles of others. I shouldn't downplay the roles of others.23:44from sabotaging yourself to sabotaging others. It is foolish to stand in your own way, but it is wicked to stand in the way of other people. As we just talked about, many of you struggle with a low view of yourself and how God has gifted you. Others of you have the exact opposite problem. You have a low view of others and how God has gifted them.24:13In the next several verses, Paul warns you to not downplay the roles of others in the church. Listen to verses 21 through 24.24:43which are more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it. I shouldn't downplay the roles of others, letter A on your outline, by acting like I don't need anyone else. By acting like I don't need anyone else. So Paul turns the tables on the Corinthians as well as you and me in these verses. He flips the scenario.25:13First, he says it's dumb for a foot or an eye to say that they're not a part of the body. Now he says it's dumb for the eye or the head to tell other parts of the body that they don't matter. This kind of attitude is arrogant. This game of comparison misses the point. You know, naturally, we all create lists of importance and systems of ranking.25:43a to-do list that you want to complete, right? Where do you put the items that you think are the most important? Top of the list, right? Where do you put the items that you think are probably the least important? At the bottom of the list. Several months ago, many of you took part in the college basketball brackets, right? You decided which teams you thought were the best and which teams you thought were the worst. If I were to ask you your favorite movies, you could list them very quickly. If I were to ask you to list your least favorite movies, you could do it even quicker. We naturally evaluate everything. We're constantly grading other people's performances. We form our own personal rankings. And this was happening in the Corinthian church back in the first century. There were the spiritual elite at the top of the charts who looked down on those they thought were weaker, less honorable, and even unpresentable.26:45Paul says those brothers or sisters who seem weaker are actually indispensable. Those who seem to have a less than honorable role deserve greater honor. Those who seem unpresentable should be treated with the utmost respect. You may be thinking, oh, Pastor Taylor, I'm not spiritually elite. I don't look down at other people. I don't act like I don't need anyone else.27:16Are you sure about that? Are you sure? Do you make excuses for why you can't be in community with other believers? Do you refuse to join a small group or be involved in other ministries that we offer here like fishermen, live, laugh, lunch, precepts, mugs and moms? You say you don't have time or energy for these things, but inwardly you know that's not true.27:43By not joining a small group or participating in any of these ministries, you are communicating a loud and clear message, I'm doing just fine on my own. I don't need anyone else. I am self-sufficient. Maybe you are a part of a small group of one of the other ministries that I mentioned, but as soon as you walk in, you put up your defense shields. You don't share a detail of your life with anybody. No one knows anything about what you're struggling with or how they can pray for you because you don't.28:13tell them. You don't want to trust anybody else because they might let you down. You were hurt in the past and so you think, well, it's going to happen again, so I'm not even going to try. Are you someone who comes in late and leaves early because you are terrified of knowing others and being known? You're acting like you don't need anyone else. Are there people in this room or the other service that you actively avoid?28:45Is there a guy in your small group that you intentionally leave out of conversations and hangouts? Is there a woman down the aisle from you who you are blatantly rude to face to face and make fun of behind closed doors? All of these behaviors are childish. All of these behaviors are reflective of the Corinthians, not Christ. All of those behaviors hurt the body and do not help the body.29:14I shouldn't downplay the roles of others by acting like I don't need anyone else. Letter B, I shouldn't downplay the roles of others by exclusively focusing on my needs. By exclusively focusing on my needs. Let's read verses 25 through 26. That there may be no division in the body, that the members may have the same care for one another.29:44All suffer together. If one member is honored, all rejoice together.29:53Have you ever been walking around your house minding your own business whenever you stub your pinky toe on the bed or a bench or a chair?30:01Let me ask you, in that moment, is it just your pinky toe that reacts?30:07Does the rest of your body think, man, sucks to be pinky, too bad for him.30:11I'm just gonna kinda do my own thing for a little while he calms down. No, when you stub your pinky toe, the pause button is pressed on life and nothing else matters. Your whole body reacts, your face grimaces, your mouth yells out some things that you hope nobody else hears. Your back arches, your hands reach down and grab your damaged foot and you pogo stick around on the undamaged foot and then your eyes inspect the damage. Your whole body reacts to the pain.30:43You ever had a bad back problem? Or a nagging tooth pain? Are you able to compartmentalize that and not think about it? Now when your back hurts, it's game over for your day. If your tooth is throbbing, you have one all-consuming thought, end the pain right now. Your whole body feels the pain of even its smallest member.31:12The same should be true of the body of Christ. If one person is in pain, all of us should be in pain. If there is a need, we should all rise up to meet that need. If someone in your small group has a big surgery or a major medical issue, start a meal train. Go visit them in the hospital. Take care of tasks around the house.31:41If there's someone on your serving team who loses a family member, show up at the funeral. Show up at the visitation. Your presence will speak far louder than any words you could possibly share. Care about the pain of other people. Meet the needs of others. Care about what other people need, even more than what you need. If one member suffers, all suffer together.32:11If one member is honored, all rejoice together. Here's a question that's been nagging at me all week. Do I love to celebrate the victories of other people? Very often the answer is no. What about you? Do you love to celebrate the victories of other people? Do you rejoice with other Christians?32:41When something good happens to another Christian in your life, do you think, praise the Lord, what a blessing? Or do you think, man, when's it going to be my turn? Nothing good ever happens to me like it does to that guy. When there's a couple in this church that has a solid marriage and really great godly children, do you think to yourself, man, what a great example that I want to follow? Or do you think to yourself, when will my family get it together? I'll never be like Mr. and Mrs. Perfect. I wish they'd stop rubbing it in my face.33:13You have to understand that other people's success is not your failure. According to Paul, their success is your success because you are a part of the same body. Let's share in the pain together. Let's share in the joy together. Let's thank the Lord in the good times together. And let's trust the Lord in the hard times together.33:41I shouldn't downplay the roles of others by acting like I don't need anyone else. I shouldn't downplay the roles of others by exclusively focusing on my needs. Finally, I shouldn't downplay the roles of others by shining the spotlight onto me. By shining the spotlight onto me. Let's wrap up with verses 27 through 31. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, These verses are jam-packed with a ton of stuff that we cannot get into. We don't have the time right now.34:41But it's really important to see that Paul mentions an office that no longer exists today. The office of apostle. Some churches have not got that memo yet. God is not posting apostleship jobs on Indeed. He is not hiring or looking to fill that position in 2026. Paul also talks about the sign gifts like speaking in tongues, miracles, and healing. Thankfully, I don't have to wade into that controversial topic because Pastor Jeff did it last week and he'll do an even deeper dive this summer.35:11Sometimes it pays to be the associate pastor.35:15But for now, catch the principle that Paul is communicating instead of getting bogged down in the details.35:21And the best way to do that is to answer the layup questions that Paul asks.35:25Let's go through the list.35:26And you have to participate.35:27You have to answer the question.35:29There's one obvious answer for all of them.35:31Are all apostles?35:33Good job.35:34Are all prophets?35:36Are all teachers?35:38Do all work miracles?35:39Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? What's Paul's point? God has given every single believer a spiritual gift or several spiritual gifts, but he has not given any believer all the spiritual gifts. That's not possible. You know, we have a lot of talented musicians and vocalists here at Harvest, don't we? Let's give them a round of applause and thank them for all they do for us.36:13You know, Jesse Hogan, he can sing, he can play the guitar, he can play the drums, he can play the piano. He can play three instruments and I can play none. I guess I shouldn't rank our abilities, right? I shouldn't compare. I'm sorry, I'm still learning that lesson myself. I shouldn't compare with Jesse. Jesse can play all those things, but he can't play every single instrument in the world of which there are over 1,500.36:39Also, Jesse can't play all those instruments at the same exact time. If Jesse tried to come up here and do a one-man band and try to run between the guitar, the piano, and run between the drums, he would make a total and complete fool of himself. Because prideful exaltation always leads to forced humility. Jesse needs the rest of the band around him.37:09He needs everybody else. He needs the vocalists who can't reach the notes that he cannot. He needs Chris or Jay on bass. Jesse needs everybody else working with him. You know, the Corinthians were experts in self-exaltation. Many in the church wanted to shine the spotlight onto themselves. Look again at verse 31. Paul says, On a first glance, it may look like Paul is commanding the Corinthians to seek after the biggest and best gifts, but that totally misses the point of what he's actually saying. If you pay attention to the context, he's saying the exact opposite. This word, earnestly, is most often used in the context of envy and jealousy. A better translation of this verse is, But you are jealous for the higher gifts Paul is not commending them He is not celebrating them He is correcting the Corinthians Because they desired the flashy and showy gifts Serving wasn't on their mind because they wanted to show off Paul is telling them You're not the point So stop trying to be You're not in competition with one another You are working together Be in sync with one another do your job and help other people do their job as well. And he concludes by saying, and I will show you a still more excellent way. What is that still more excellent way? It is the way of love, which Pastor Jeff will talk about next week. This whole topic of spiritual gifts and the unity of the body should be viewed the lens of love.39:05The love of Christ for us, our love for Christ, and our love for each other. Otherwise, we'll miss the point of why God even gifted us in the first place. If you have been saved by Christ, never forget that you belong to Christ. Never forget that you belong to Christ's beloved body. Since you're a member of the body of Christ, you shouldn't doubt the part that you Since you're a member of the body of Christ, you shouldn't downplay the roles of others. As this sermon concludes, some of you in this room may feel a bit left out because you're not a Christian. You are not a member of the body of Christ. As of now, you are a detached hand or foot that has no function in the church body. As of right now, you are a detached eye or ear that is not connected to anything greater than yourself. As of now, the life-giving blood of Christ does not flow in you and through you. I have to warn you, if you continue in this state of self-isolation, you will wither away and die in your sins. You will experience a life without purpose, and you will endure an eternity separated from the giver of life.40:35and the other recipients of his life. If that's you, I beg you to turn from your sin and turn to Jesus. Place the full weight of your faith upon him, what he has done through his life, death, and resurrection. And then, and only then, will you be forgiven and given new life. Then, you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. You will be filled with the Holy Spirit. You will be brought into the body of Christ.41:04you will be placed into the perfect role that you were made for. You will be given the high honor and responsibility of serving Christ and his body. We'd love for you to join us. Let's pray. Father, we come to you and we thank you for your word. We thank you for the encouragement and the conviction that we all experienced. Lord, if there is someone in this room who is currently not a member of the body of Christ, who is not saved. May today be the day where they finally say no to sin and yes to your son.41:43And for the rest of us, Lord, may we do our jobs.41:47May we let other people do their jobs.41:49May we work together and encourage each other.41:51Lord, we thank you for all that you're doing with this new building project.41:57Lord, none of that matters if we can't work together now.42:01May we be faithful now.42:03May we work together now. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Your cells are starving for oxygen, and it's silently driving inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging. This episode reveals how pairing Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red light therapy supercharges your mitochondria, reverses pseudo-hypoxia, and unlocks a level of human performance most people never experience. -Save up to $500 (through 5/17) at One Thousand Roads: https://www.onethousandroads.com/Dave -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads and one of the most credible voices in oxygen therapy and red light therapy. Brad didn't come to this work through a lab. He came to it through desperation. After battling autoimmune arthritis, melanoma, and Lyme disease, he rebuilt his health from the ground up starting in 2016 by targeting mitochondrial function when he could barely walk. Eighteen months later, he founded One Thousand Roads to bring these tools to everyone still searching for a way out. Together, Dave and Brad break down the unified theory behind oxygen therapy and red light therapy, two of the most powerful and underrated tools in biohacking. They go deep on pseudo-hypoxia, the condition where your blood oxygen looks fine but your tissues are starving, and explain why this hidden dysfunction sits at the root of chronic fatigue, inflammaging, fibromyalgia, long COVID, and poor sleep optimization. They also cover the endothelium, nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity, and why your morning biology might be the most honest readout of your metabolic health. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, brain optimization, functional medicine, mitochondria, metabolism, and smarter not harder approaches to human performance. You'll Learn: What EWOT is and why elite athletes and biohackers use it to flood tissues with oxygen in 15 minutes How pseudo-hypoxia silently blocks energy production and drives chronic illness Why stacking red light therapy immediately after EWOT multiplies results for both How mitochondrial dysfunction connects to endothelial aging, microcirculation failure, and systemic inflammation The role of nitric oxide in arterial flexibility, vasodilation, and real anti-aging markers like pulse wave velocity Why your lungs are your biggest detox organ and how oxygen therapy supports that process How ketosis, fasting, and cellular energy interact with EWOT and red light for maximum benefit What LED lighting is doing to your mitochondria every single day and how to fix it How to build an affordable at-home EWOT setup for around $2,500 Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - ENERGYbits | If you want a simpler, smarter way to support your body… this is it.

The Archives are Open: Turning Lungs to StoneThe Paraquat Murders remain one of the most haunting "Forensic Zero" cases in history—a spree where the weapon was a common herbicide and the battlefield was the country's own sense of public trust.In this episode, we step away from the neon lights of the Tokyo Bubble and into the quiet, suffocating reality of the "Stone Lungs."Key Talking Points The Architecture of a Ghost: How the Phantom utilized the "Safety Myth" and the Japanese virtue of Mottainai (wastefulness) to bait traps without ever showing their face. The Biological Countdown: A clinical look at Paraquat's unique cruelty—how it bypasses immediate detection to begin a slow, conscious process of internal calcification. The Drowning Ink: Analysing the "Last Letters" of victims who were granted the "mercy" of time—only to spend it watching their own erasure. The Psychology of Distance: Why the indiscriminate killer finds more power in the potential of the kill than the act itself. The Copycat DNA: How the 1985 blueprint evolved into the digital age and influenced later tragedies like the 1998 Wakayama Curry Case. Deep Archive: Beyond the HeadlinesWhile the headlines focused on the terror in the streets, the true complexity of the case lay in the sociological and chemical details that the police struggled to contain.The "Blue" Confirmation When a suspected victim arrived at the hospital, doctors performed a rapid "Dithionite Test." They would add a sodium dithionite reagent to the victim's fluids. If the liquid turned a vibrant, electric blue, it was a death sentence. The blue colour wasn't natural to the poison; it was a dye added by manufacturers to prevent accidental ingestion. The Phantom turned this safety feature into a psychological brand.The Statute of Shadows For decades, the Paraquat Phantom was protected by the "Statute of Limitations." In Japan, the limit for murder used to be 15 years. This case, along with other high-profile unsolved mysteries, fuelled the public outcry that eventually led to Japan abolishing the statute of limitations for murder entirely in 2010. Technically, if the Phantom is still alive, the hunt is still on.The Trivia of the Void"In a world built on the assumption of kindness, the machine becomes a monster." The 100-Yen Bait: Nearly all the poisoned bottles were found in the retrieval slots of machines where the previous customer had "forgotten" their drink. The Phantom relied on the fact that 100 Yen was a significant enough value that a passerby wouldn't want to see the drink go to waste. The "Pop" Revolution: Before 1985, many Japanese energy drinks used simple twist-off caps or pull-tabs that could be easily manipulated. The Paraquat spree forced a nationwide industry standard shift to the "tamper-evident" vacuum-sealed "pop" caps we see today. If you've ever felt a sense of relief hearing that snap when opening a bottle, you are hearing the legacy of the Phantom. Machine Density: At the height of the spree, Japan had approximately 5 million vending machines—one for every 23 people. This made the task of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police impossible; they were trying to guard a "population" of machines that outnumbered the police force by 50 to 1. The Oronamin C Connection: The killer almost exclusively used Oronamin C and Coca-Cola. Oronamin C was marketed as a "health" and "energy" tonic, making the irony of the poison particularly sharp—victims reached for vitality and found a slow-acting stone. Thank you so much for your support legends!!! Could not do this without you backing me up and I hope you love these new True Crime focus on Japanese crime! Let me know what you think mates!
