Dr. Eric Balcavage interviews Nagina Abdullah about why traditional weight loss approaches fail for women with thyroid issues, especially in midlife. Nagina shares her personal journey from yo-yo dieting to losing 40 pounds using metabolism-focused strategies and reveals the framework she's used to help 1600+ women. Key Topics Covered: Why "calories in, calories out" doesn't work in midlife How perimenopause changes metabolism and increases inflammation The role of stress, sleep, and under-eating in weight gain Nagina's "Tested & Perfected Fat Burning Food Framework" Specific macro ratios: 40% protein, 35% healthy fats, 25% healthy carbs When to use advanced strategies like "feeding up" and intermittent fasting Why thyroid patients need digestive support and adequate carbohydrates The connection between liver function and T4 to T3 conversion Perfect for: Women over 40 struggling with weight despite "doing everything right," especially those with thyroid conditions seeking practical, science-based nutrition strategies. Nagina Abdullah is the founder of MasalaBody. She is the metabolism expert for midlife women who feel like their bodies have turned against them. When nothing else works, she helps them fire up their metabolism, burn stubborn fat, and finally see results. After maintaining a 40-pound weight loss for over a decade, she used her Bloat Busting Protocol to shed 14 pounds of perimenopause weight. With a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley & an MBA from NYU, she blends scientific research with practical strategies to help midlife women boost their metabolism, shed stubborn weight, and create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. While most midlife women are told to "eat less and exercise more," Nagina does the opposite. She replaces restriction with metabolism-boosting foods that melt belly fat & make healthy living effortless. Her proven methods have helped 1,600+ women finally break free from stubborn midlife weight, without frustration or deprivation. Guest Links & Resources:

In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, co-host Lynne Edris is joined by cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper for a fascinating conversation that may completely change the way you think about ADHD and executive function. Jeff introduces a groundbreaking model he calls Cognitive Ergonomics From the Inside Out™, which reframes ADHD as a problem-solving impairment rather than a motivational or behavioral failure. Together, they discuss: Why so many ADHD productivity strategies fall short How executive function challenges stem from ambiguity, not laziness The role of collaboration and communication as natural, effective accommodations How to externalize thinking and reduce overwhelm in ways that actually work What it means to "think like an engineer" when managing ADHD Whether you're struggling with procrastination, motivation, or follow-through, this conversation offers refreshing clarity—and practical solutions that may surprise you.

Lisa Marino, Founder and CEO of Dopple, has made it her mission to simplify the process.Lisa's personal experience navigating the welfare system while earning her MBA at Stanford inspired her to create Dopple. She explained, “We built for others what we did for ourselves to get our own family through.” Her platform connects families to an array of funding sources—government benefits, philanthropic programs, and contributions from friends and family—by streamlining the process into a simple, AI-driven solution.In today's episode, Lisa highlighted a staggering statistic: “40% of families eligible for SNAP are so overwhelmed by the application process that many just drop out.” She's determined to eliminate this friction, helping families secure critical funding for essentials like childcare, diapers, and even college savings.Dopple's approach begins with a 12-month budget, encouraging families to think comprehensively about their needs. The platform then leverages AI to match families with available resources and funding opportunities. Lisa shared, “We've taken this budget that maybe started at $25,000 and start whacking away at it… shifting $20,000 plus from being out of pocket to the family to the village that wants to support them.”Dopple's innovative model also addresses the philanthropic side. By fractionalizing gifting, Dopple enables friends, family, and organizations to contribute directly to a family's needs. Additionally, the company generates revenue through subscription-based kids' clothing and essential products like diapers and formula.Lisa's commitment to making a difference extends beyond her platform's services. Dopple is currently raising funds on Wefunder, inviting everyday individuals to invest in the company's vision. Lisa explained, “I believe in being egalitarian… If we're trying to help families fund the basics, we need to walk the walk.”By tackling the bureaucratic hurdles that prevent families from accessing critical support, Lisa and Dopple are making an extraordinary impact. Learn more about their mission and investment opportunity at thedopple.com/invest.tl;dr:Lisa Marino, CEO of Dopple, shares her journey navigating welfare systems during her MBA at Stanford.Dopple simplifies access to critical benefits, combining AI and a comprehensive family budgeting platform.The platform connects families to funding sources, reducing out-of-pocket expenses by leveraging their community.Lisa emphasizes Dopple's egalitarian approach, inviting individuals to invest via a Wefunder campaign.Her superpower, refusing to give up, drives her to tackle challenges with persistence and grit.How to Develop Refusing to Give Up As a SuperpowerLisa Marino's superpower is her unrelenting tenacity to overcome obstacles. She described it simply: “The hard part was sitting down and figuring it out.” Whether navigating complex welfare systems during her pregnancy or guiding her company through challenges, Lisa defines success as persistence. As she told her kids, “People who put on the big kid pants clean it up… and move forward.”Lisa's determination was tested during her time as CEO of Rocky. She inherited a company with a $400 million preference stack and declining revenue. Despite being advised against taking the role, she worked tirelessly to restructure the business, rebuild profitability, and grow through acquisitions. Years of difficult conversations and strategic moves eventually led to success—an exemplary display of perseverance.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Set Realistic Expectations: Focus on achieving small wins, even when faced with overwhelming challenges.Embrace the Grind: Accept that progress takes time and effort, and remain committed to the vision.Allow Yourself Breaks: Give yourself permission to recharge when needed, such as Lisa's “quarterly pity party.”Take Control: Address challenges proactively rather than waiting for them to escalate.By following Lisa's example and advice, you can make refusing to give up a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileLisa Marino (she/her):Founder and CEO, DoppleAbout Dopple: Two thirds of all families live paycheck to paycheck yet billions of federal and philanthropic dollars earmarked for these families go unused each year. The system is opaque, inefficient, and requires an advanced degree to navigate. I know this because at one point, before I became a successful operator, I was forced to navigate it for my family. Dopple is the platform to bring transparency and efficiency to the flow of funds in this market. We are the qualification engine and payment rails in the middle. Dopple launches in July in New Jersey, and I am looking for a famly foundation with an aligned vision to be a design and beta partner with us. Use of funds will be to cover needs such as diapers, childcare and tuition for mid to low income families in NJ.Website: thedopple.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/thedoppleOther URL: thedopple.com/investBiographical Information: - First person in my immigrant Mexican family to go to college, which I paid for myself.

Episode 566 Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, your host, Carl White, is joined by Owen Lee to break down the FHFA's recent announcement that lenders can now use the VantageScore 4.0 with Fannie and Freddie—no new infrastructure required. Owen, who serves as Vice Chair of the MBA, unpacks what this change really means for loan officers and whether it's a genuine effort to lower credit report costs or just a flashy move from the same credit bureaus that already control the game. They dive into the skyrocketing cost of credit pulls, the oligarchy of the credit scoring world, and the practical challenges this update presents for pricing, mortgage insurance, and secondary market execution. You'll hear how VantageScore aims to help underserved borrowers—but also why it may not be the silver bullet it seems at first glance. This episode is packed with insight, industry advocacy, and some straight talk about where credit reporting is headed and how it could impact your daily business.

Ready to feel more motivated about retiring early? These five research-backed stats reveal how early retirement can positively impact everything from health to relationships—and might be the nudge you need to take your financial independence plan more seriously. The benefits go well beyond just having more free time.While many people delay retirement out of fear or uncertainty, the data shows that stepping away from work earlier can lead to greater satisfaction, improved well-being, and more meaningful use of time. But getting the timing right means understanding your financial picture and knowing when enough is truly enough.Early retirement isn't about escaping work, it's about creating space for the things that matter most.

He and his wife, a small-animal internal medicine specialist practicing in Denver, have more than $400,000 in veterinary-school debt that they manage using federal income-driven repayment plans. By necessity (and now obsession), his professional activities include researching and speaking on veterinary-student debt, providing guidance to colleagues on loan-repayment strategies and contributing to VIN Foundation resources. Beyond debt, his professional interests include small- and exotic-animal practice. When he's not staring holes into his colleagues' student-loan data, Tony enjoys fly fishing, ice hockey, camping and exploring Colorado with his wife, Audra, daughter, Lucy, and their two rescued canines, Addi and Maggie. Dr. Rebecca Mears Rebecca Mears, DVM is from Lexington, KY, and a graduate of University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. Rebecca started her career as an equine general practitioner and is an active AAEP member, currently serving as a member of the AAEP DEI Committee. Her interest in student debt education began with keeping her own education costs lower and grew from there. This was supported by her involvement in the Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA), which she now gives back to as a National Advisor. In her time away from veterinary medicine, she can be found obsessing over plants and hosting impromptu dance parties. She is passionate about giving back to the profession and improving the lives of veterinarians, pre-vet and vet students.

Henrietta's Journey from FMCG to FoodTech VCHenrietta Hearth's path to venture capital began with a deep interest in nutrition and public health. After realizing the limitations of public health campaigns, she pivoted to the corporate world, launching over 100 products at firms like Danone and L'Oréal. Her transition into venture capital came via an MBA and a desire to drive meaningful change in the food ecosystem, ultimately leading her to Big Idea Ventures where she set up their European operations in Paris.Why Alternative Protein Is Still a VC OpportunityHenrietta explains that 30% of global emissions are linked to food, especially meat and dairy, making alternative protein a key climate solution. But beyond sustainability, alt-proteins tap into health and ethical concerns too. While the sector has suffered from overvaluation, like the now-cautionary tale of Beyond Meat, Henrietta argues there's still strong potential if companies focus on taste, affordability, and customer satisfaction.Cell-Based Meat and AI: What's Actually WorkingSome of the most promising innovations in food tech today combine scientific rigor with user-centric design. Henrietta points to Gourmey, a cell-based foie gras startup in Big Idea Ventures' portfolio, as a standout example of aligning tradition, taste, and ethics. She also highlights the emerging role of AI in food R&D, citing companies like New Wave Biotech, which are using machine learning to speed up product development, especially in precision fermentation.The Case for Going Beyond HypeWhile Henrietta sees AI as a valuable tool, she urges founders and investors alike not to get lost in the buzz. Real impact still comes from solving core problems, like child malnutrition or the lack of innovation in infant nutrition. She expresses a desire to see more startups tackling urgent global issues, particularly in underserved markets, where food tech can truly make a life-or-death difference.Building with Customers, Not Just CapitalHenrietta stresses the importance of founders building companies around real customer problems, not just investor narratives. Many early-stage companies focus too much on raising funds instead of validating product-market fit. Whether the end customer is a family or a large food corporation, the key to long-term success is solving meaningful, scalable problems.

Melissa Dinwiddie doesn't have an MBA. She's never worked for a consulting giant, such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting, or Bain. She is a ukulele-playing, jazz-singing, Julliard-trained dancer and improv entertainer. Yet when companies, including Meta, Google, Uber, Intuit, and Salesforce, seek fresh thinking on innovation and team creativity, they turn to Melissa for results. Melissa draws parallels between performance troupes, such as her All That Jazz improv jazz group, and business teams. To be successful, she notes, all members must listen closely, support one another, adapt on the fly, and create something from nothing. Melissa is the founder and CEO of Creative Sandbox Solutions, communication, connection, and creativity experts. Her firm's specialty is helping teams blast through creative roadblocks. She is the author of The Creative Sandbox Way: Your Path to a Full-Color Life, which she wrote to help readers be comfortable with and embrace their own, authentic creativity. As Melissa explains this week, her unconventional background and unorthodox methods — including having six- and seven-figure salaried executives build with Lego bricks — consistently unlock breakthrough ideas and enhance team performance.

Have you ever heard the saying that goes something like “when you get older…don't meet the people you looked up to when younger because they'll surely disappoint”? Well…way back (about two decades ago at this point) when I was working towards my undergraduate and MBA degrees, professors would obviously cite contemporary business events to clearly connect academic lessons with real world applications. But specifically, I vividly remember marketing professors discussing aspects of the Super Bowl beer ads and my corporate finance and strategy professors extracting insights from the mega merger between (and subsequent integration of) Anheuser-Busch and InBev. And there's a common thread between those two core memories. Until the recording of this podcast episode, I had not met Dave Peacock…but analyzed many of his decisions in the late-2000s and early-2010s when he led marketing and then became President of Anheuser-Busch, which likely subconsciously helped construct the foundation of my unique strategic perspective surrounding the CPG industry. And since the meeting happened spontaneously…you'll notice I was in “listen mode” more than I'm normally within these conversational content pieces. And it's probably because, unlike that saying…the stories and insights shared by Dave Peacock, from his time at Anheuser-Busch and the grocery store Schnuck Markets to currently at Advantage Solutions, did not disappoint at all.

Interview with Jason Banducci, VP of Corporate Development & IR of Integra Resources Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/integra-resources-tsxvitr-nevada-gold-producer-targets-300k-oz-with-60m-war-chest-7268Recording date: 15th July 2025Jason Banducci serves as Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations at Integra Resources, where he oversees business growth initiatives and maintains relationships with the investment community. His professional journey began at TD Bank in lending before pursuing an MBA at Queen's University, which led him to mining investment banking at GMP Securities (later acquired by Stiefel Financial). During his nearly five-year tenure in investment banking, he developed expertise in mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and deal structuring that would prove invaluable in his current role.Banducci's connection to mining runs deep through his family, as his mother served as CFO of IAMGold for 15 years, exposing him early to the industry's potential and global impact. His transition to Integra Resources came through his work as an investment banker, where he helped former CEO Jason Kosec establish Millennial Precious Metals, raising $24 million for their TSX-V listing. The eventual merger of Millennial Precious Metals with Integra Resources brought Banducci into his current position.In his dual role, Banducci manages corporate development activities including due diligence, transaction structuring, and strategic acquisitions, while simultaneously handling investor relations responsibilities such as creating corporate materials, organizing conferences, and serving as the external face of the company. His most significant achievement has been spearheading Integra Resources' transformation from an exploration and development company to a producing gold company through the strategic acquisition of Florida Canyon mine from Alamos Gold's spin-off of Argonaut assets.This acquisition addressed the fundamental challenge facing development-stage mining companies: the constant need for equity financing due to lack of cash flow. The Florida Canyon mine now generates 15-20 million dollars in annual free cash flow, eliminating the need for regular equity raises and providing capital to advance the company's development projects, Delamar and Nevada North. Banducci views this strategic positioning in Nevada's mining-friendly jurisdiction as optimal for attracting investment capital, particularly given the current focus on geopolitical stability and simple, low-capital heap leach gold projects that appeal to investors seeking exposure to precious metals in stable jurisdictions.—View Integra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/integra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

And I do know for myself, but I've always done it by learning the hard way or by learning from other people that we've hired. And I think that I wanted to know that what I had done was right.”The surprising lessons she gained at Haas“ That's one of the greatest things that Berkeley gave me. I thought I was coming for the operations. I thought I was coming for the finance, but actually I was coming for politics and power and difficult conversations. And I can think of like 12 different classes where I'm like, oh my God, that's what I came to Berkeley for.”On where she's headed next “ I have always thought of myself more as a builder, then this like visionary, you know, futurist if you will. And so I know that my skillset is around building tinsel into a sustainable model at scale within this holding corporation. That's what I'm excited to do. I'm excited to see the right teams and the right people and things sort of moving in the right direction and taking it from where we were post acquisition, which was still nothing to sniff at, you know. But I think there's just a different level of complexity and growth that's there. And I wanna see it through and I wanna make sure that Tinsel is an entity that will stay on and continue.”Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileTinsel Experiential DesignSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations
