Inflammation is everywhere right now. On Instagram, in wellness spaces, in your DMs. Everything from weight gain to brain fog to sore joints is being blamed on cortisol and chronic inflammation, and a growing number of people are convinced they cannot exercise, eat in a calorie deficit, or live normally because it will make their inflammation worse. So is any of this true? And is an anti-inflammatory diet actually a real thing? This week Leanne and Susie take on one of the biggest buzzwords in nutrition right now and give it a proper evidence-based look. They unpack what inflammation actually is and why the way it is being described online is often completely inaccurate, what the research on polyphenols and anthocyanins actually shows, and which foods are genuinely worth prioritising if reducing inflammation is your goal. This episode is proudly brought to you by Queen Garnet, Australia's antioxidant plum. Leanne and Susie share the research behind Queen Garnet throughout this episode, and you can find the full range at queengarnet.com. In this episode: The two types of inflammation and why they are completely different: why acute inflammation from exercise, injury, or illness is a normal and healthy response, and what chronic low-grade inflammation actually looks like and why it develops Why a single weekend of eating badly, a glass of wine, or a slice of pizza is not putting your body into a chronic inflammatory state, and the specific lifestyle patterns that do contribute to inflammation over time The misinformation that is actively harming people: why telling someone with PCOS that they cannot exercise or diet because it spikes cortisol and causes inflammation is not only incorrect but counterproductive Why the Mediterranean dietary pattern consistently outperforms every other approach when it comes to reducing inflammatory markers, and the specific foods driving that result A review of a randomized, double-blind controlled trial on Queen Garnet plum juice: what happened to blood vessel function and vascular inflammatory markers when participants consumed a high antioxidant juice alongside a high fat meal, even in a single meal occasion A 12-week randomized controlled trial on anthocyanin-rich foods and adipose tissue function: what researchers found about how polyphenol-rich whole foods may influence metabolic processes in fat tissue and why this matters for metabolic health What anthocyanins and polyphenols actually are, which foods contain the highest concentrations, and why the bright red, purple, and orange colours in fruits and vegetables are a direct indicator of antioxidant content The Queen Garnet Antioxidant Plum Nectar reviewed: why it has approximately six times the antioxidant content of blueberries, how to use it, who it is most beneficial for, and where to find it year-round when the fresh fruit is out of season. Available at queengarnet.com, with a 20% saving on subscription Practical daily habits that genuinely shift inflammatory pathways: extra-virgin olive oil, walnuts, herbs and spices, green tea, brightly coloured vegetables, and the case for seven to ten serves of fresh produce every day.

Are vibrations quietly sabotaging your turntable's performance? On this episode of Chasing Better Sound, David and Louie dig into the science—and sometimes questionable audiophile mythology—behind turntable isolation, vibration control, and resonance. From footfalls and suspended floors to speakers, subwoofers, furniture, and the turntable itself, they explore how unwanted mechanical energy can make its way to the stylus and potentially affect what you hear. The conversation looks at the different approaches to isolation, including rigid platforms, isolation feet, damping materials, foam, rubber, cork, and more sophisticated isolation technologies. But does every turntable and listening room actually need them? And when listeners report an improvement, how much is measurable performance—and how much might be expectation or confirmation bias? David and Louie also discuss how your floor construction, equipment rack, turntable design, cartridge, speaker placement, and listening environment can determine whether vibration is a genuine problem worth solving. Along the way, they examine the difference between isolation and damping, why low-frequency energy can be particularly troublesome, and whether expensive audiophile accessories always outperform simpler solutions. Plus, the guys catch up after some time away and discuss several new and upcoming audiophile vinyl releases—and the increasingly eye-watering prices that come with them. If you're looking to improve your vinyl playback, turntable setup, system isolation, resonance control, or overall analog sound quality, this episode offers a practical look at another variable in the never-ending pursuit of better sound. Is turntable isolation an essential upgrade—or another audiophile rabbit hole? Plug in for the latest edition of Chasing Better Sound to find out!  

Reruns is a series at Discover Church that uses the lens of 90's sitcoms to explore something deeply practical and spiritual: how our everyday lives can make Jesus visible to a watching world. Sitcoms worked because they felt familiar; you saw yourself in the characters, their humor, their mess, their growth, and their relationships. And every episode ended with a moment that reminded you what really matters.In the same way, this series reminds us that faith is not just something we believe—it's something we live out loud. The world may never read a Bible before they watch your life, and what they're watching is whether Jesus actually changes people. That's why we're revisiting the core values of our church, not as slogans we agree with, but as reruns of the life of Jesus we are called to embody together.At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time, by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 11:00 am, either in person or online!

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Steffenie Jenkins sharing the journey she and her family have faced as they searched for answers for their son, Jacob. Now 21 years old, Jacob is battling bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare and irreversible lung disease, and is receiving treatment through Mayo Clinic in Arizona. As Jacob's health declined, Steffenie found herself in a position many families know all too well. She could see something was wrong, yet finding answers proved difficult. Through countless appointments, tests, setbacks, and frustrations, she continued advocating for her son and pushing forward when it would have been easy to give up. Her message is one of perseverance, determination, and trusting your instincts when someone you love is suffering. Sometimes the path to answers is longer than it should be, but Steffenie's story is a reminder of the power of persistence and a mother's unwavering love for her child. If you would like to support the Jenkins family, visit GoFundMe and search “Starting Over for Mayo.” You can also email Steffenie at SteffenieJenkins@gmail.com for other ways to support.

In 1 Peter 2:9, we're called a chosen people and a royal priesthood, with direct access to God through Jesus and a purpose that extends into everyday life. Today we'll discover why your workplace, neighborhood, family, and friendships can become the very places where God uses you to influence others.

Five years ago, OneChurch was mostly a vision. Today, that vision has faces, names and stories. In this special Five-Year Anniversary message, Pastor Ken Senchal looks back at what God has done through OneChurch—and challenges us to look forward to the people God still wants to reach. Over the past five years, we've seen more than 100 people give their lives to Christ, around 170 baptisms and nearly 100 Life Groups. But the mission was never about numbers. Every number has a name. Every name has a story. And every story matters to God. Drawing from Habakkuk 2:2 and Luke 19:10, Pastor Ken returns to the vision God gave OneChurch: Change the world one person at a time. How do we do it? Know God. Find Freedom. Discover Purpose. Make A Difference. Jesus always saw the ONE—and as OneChurch begins its next five years, we're asking God to help us do the same. There are people whose stories we don't know yet. They may live down the street, work beside us, sit in our classrooms or even be members of our own families. Maybe God intends to reach them through us. Thank you, God, for the last five years. Now we're ready for the next five. Father, show me my One.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Elena Terry as she shares about her grandson, Luca, who was born with a rare congenital heart defect and is currently facing complications that have him back in a children's hospital in Oklahoma. Elena describes Luca as the happiest little baby, always smiling despite everything his young body has already endured. His family had no idea anything was wrong when he was born. They were preparing to take their new baby home when doctors told them Luca had failed his heart screening. Additional testing revealed serious problems with his heart, and instead of going home as planned, Luca and his parents began a 46-day stay at the children's hospital. Since then, his journey has included procedures, medications, and continuing uncertainty. During his latest hospitalization, Luca was scheduled for a heart catheterization when another complication developed and he became very sick. There's some encouraging news. Elena says Luca has finally been able to eat again, doctors are working to get him off his blood pressure medication, and if he continues progressing, the family hopes he will soon be able to go home. Through all of it, Elena says that little boy keeps smiling. If you would like to support Luca and his family, go to GoFundMe and search “Support Luca and His Parents.” This Make a Difference Minute is brought to you by Bama Estate Planning by Attorney Harlan D.

On August 20, I'm going to be hosting a webinar on how to use AI to validate the quotes you receive from contractors and subcontractors. To register for the webinar click HERE. Even if you can't attend live, we will send you the recording. --------------Today we're talking about an announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department that has generated a surprising amount of noise in the financial markets.The two words getting attention are Treasury buybacks.Treasury announced today, August 19, that beginning September 9 it will increase, by at least double, the size of its liquidity support buyback operations for longer-dated Treasury securities. Specifically, the maximum size for operations in the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year sectors will increase from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.It might be coincidence, but this happened on the same day that US debt topped $40T. The country's “total public debt outstanding” officially hit $40.047 trillion on Tuesday, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday, ticking up from $39.987 trillion a day earlier.Immediately, people started describing this as quantitative easing, QE light, yield curve control, and even a new version of Operation Twist.I think we need to separate the mechanics from the headlines.A Treasury buyback is not the same thing as Federal Reserve quantitative easing. The Treasury is already issuing enormous quantities of debt. In a buyback operation, Treasury can issue securities in one part of the market and use some of those proceeds to repurchase securities that are already outstanding.The important distinction is which securities they are buying.The liquidity support program primarily targets what are called off-the-run Treasury securities.When Treasury issues a new 10-year note, for example, that newly issued security becomes the on-the-run Treasury. It tends to trade very actively. The older 10-year securities that were issued previously become off-the-run securities.They're still Treasury obligations. Their credit quality hasn't changed. But they don't necessarily trade with the same liquidity. That becomes important during periods of market stress. If a large investor needs to sell a significant quantity of an older Treasury security, there may not be as deep a pool of buyers as there is for the newest issue.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Paul Bruyneel, better known to many as Santa Paul, as he shares about his recovery following his third shoulder replacement surgery. After decades of physically demanding work, degenerative arthritis took a devastating toll on Paul's shoulder. Finding a surgeon willing to perform such a complex revision surgery wasn't easy, and by the time the procedure could be done, additional damage had occurred, making the operation even more challenging. Now facing more than two months away from work, Paul is focused on healing while relying on the unwavering support of his wife, Sandy. He says she's been his rock through every surgery, helping with even the simplest daily tasks during recovery. For someone who has spent years bringing joy to children and giving back to others as Santa Paul, this season has required him to accept the kindness of the community he's worked so hard to serve.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I'm coming to you from Gabriela's Latin Fusion in Athens, Alabama, where owner Maximo Villagomez “Max” shares a message for anyone trying to build something of their own. For Max, there's real value in starting at the bottom. He believes learning the basics of a business firsthand gives an entrepreneur something that cannot be replaced. The work that may not seem important in the moment can become invaluable later, especially when the time comes to lead and teach others. That experience has taken on new meaning for Max with Gabriela's Latin Fusion, a restaurant he named after his wife. He says becoming an owner has shown him just how different ownership is from being an employee or even a manager. As an owner, the responsibility doesn't end when the workday is over. Max knows the decisions he makes affect not only the restaurant, but the people who depend on it and the team he's responsible for leading. His message to young people and aspiring entrepreneurs is to not be afraid to start from the ground. What you learn there may be exactly what prepares you for where you want to go.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Wes Madrigal as he shares about the effort he and his family have started to help people in Manizales, Colombia, following a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake. Wes lives in Colombia with his wife, who is from the area, and their recently born daughter. Although the epicenter of the earthquake was roughly 100 miles away, Wes says the shaking was strongly felt in Manizales. When he went into the city afterward, he quickly realized the extent of the damage. Buildings had collapsed, the city's iconic cathedral suffered significant structural damage, and members of his wife's extended family and several of her friends experienced damage to their homes. While Wes says no one his family personally knows had been physically injured at the time of our conversation, lives have been lost and families are facing the reality of rebuilding. That challenge is made even greater because, according to what Wes has learned locally, many people do not have the type of homeowners insurance that could help them recover from a disaster like this. Wes and his family are now doing what they can to help their neighbors through the difficult days ahead.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Holly Parrish as she shares about her four-year-old daughter, Ruthee, who lives with Kabuki syndrome and needs specialized care that has been difficult to access. For Holly, one of the biggest needs right now is finding people who have already walked a similar road and can help point her toward the next step. She has closely followed Jessica Davenport and the Kruzn for a Kure Foundation, watching how Jessica Davenport has advocated for Kruz and Paizlee, pursued specialized care, raised money for research, and kept pushing when the answers were far from home. Holly says she found herself taking notes and treating Jessica's efforts almost like a roadmap for what she may eventually have to do for Ruthee. That's why hearing from another parent who has successfully navigated Medicaid denials, waivers, exceptions, or other barriers for a medically complex child could be so valuable right now. If you believe you may be able to help Holly and Ruthee, you can email Holly at HollyGraceParrish@gmail.com.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Ashley Russell of Athens, Alabama, sharing how small acts of kindness have helped carry her through cancer treatments and chemotherapy. When people hear about a cancer diagnosis, they often wonder what they can do to help. Ashley's answer is that it's the little things matter. A surprise package in the mail filled with items to help during chemotherapy. A bag prepared by friends with snacks, blankets, fuzzy socks, and comfort items. Head wraps given with love after losing her hair. Help with her child when she needed support. None of these acts could take away the diagnosis, but each one reminded Ashley that she wasn't facing the journey alone. Sometimes encouragement doesn't have to be grand or expensive. A thoughtful gesture, a helping hand, or simply showing up can make a difficult day a little easier. This MADM is brought to you by Bama Estate Planning by Attorney Harlan D.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Mrs. Alabama 2025 Brianna Sistrunk as she shares about Chasing the Rainbows, an organization supporting families experiencing infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and infant loss. For Brianna, the mission is deeply personal. After losing her daughter Madison, she eventually began sharing her experience through a series of videos on YouTube. Her goal was simply to help other women who had experienced a similar loss. After that, women she had never met began reaching out. Some found her through YouTube and then searched for her on social media. Others were friends who knew her story and felt comfortable turning to her after experiencing a miscarriage of their own. Brianna began that series in 2016. Ten years later, women are still finding those videos and reaching out to tell her, “I've been through this too.” It's a powerful reminder of what can happen when we're willing to share the difficult parts of our stories. Something you experienced years ago may become exactly what another person needs to hear today.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 629 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Oh, it's just another Tube Screamer, and do vintage parts make a difference or do we just want to believe in magic?Blake opens up with a traffic report before the guys jump into a most luciferous episode about pedal schematic similarities. The guys somehow manage a full ten minutes on nothing but pedals and schematics before anyone checks they're on the right podcast. Brian explains how one humble skeleton - your 808, your OD-1, your DOD 250 - can be filtered into a fuzz, a distortion or very nearly anything in the dirt realm, while Richard tinkers with pedal number two for Oliver FX. This leads straight to the vintage-versus-modern-components hill Richard is prepared to die on, well maybe, a cautionary tale about the '69(ish) fuzz face he sold for peanuts, and exactly why germanium is still a nightmare to build with. It was Blake's birthday, which somehow means two boxes of Katz's pastrami, a proposed rebrand to Chasing Food, and a heartfelt happy birthday from Brian that lands with the opposite of the intended effect. Trigger warning - he does a Marilyn Monroe impersonation. The D'Addario AI saga finally gets a verdict, Richard coins the snark reflex, and NAM turns up everywhere...Random string packs, the great vinyl-versus-CD debate, desk maxing, a fill-it-yourself color-changing guitar, and one very unlucky arrested guitarist...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.bluesguitarmethod.comhttps://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comCheck out Oliver Effects:https://oliverfx.co.ukYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show

"There are those individual actions that we can take. But if I can work with my community or work inside of my company, or if I can work inside of my house of worship and we can build some community and some action that way, it will have a much bigger impact than anything that I can do as an individual… The communities that they're already a part of, whether they're residential, like in their neighborhoods, or it's the nonprofits that they're a part of, or the places where they have other kinds of communities like religious communities, and start conversations there. What could we do as a community? What could we do as an organization?" Laur Hesse Fisher on Electric Ladies Podcast Feeling unsure you can make a difference? In this overwhelming time when big forces seem to be pushing and shoving, financially and sometimes literally, it's easy to feel powerless.  But you do have power in your own world - your choices matter. Like what? Listen to Laur Hesse Fisher of MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative and TIL Climate podcast, in this discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson that aired last year and is more relevant than ever. Laur explains how we can leverage the things we do now, the places we already go, and people we currently talk to and make a difference that way.  You'll hear about: Why reaching people outside the climate-tuned bubble is critical. How we can leverage the relationships we already have, the local media, and local events to make a bigger difference than we can make on our own. Why voting is so crucial this year – and not for the reasons you might have heard Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "My advice would be, as you're thinking about where you want to go, talk to people about that. So you might not know where you want to go, in which case I recommend informational interviews. Those are great for learning about other people's career paths, what it took for them to get there, what did they learn along the way? I mean, people are really open to having a half an hour conversation."
