Your brain may be stuck in survival mode. That could be why fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep refuse to budge no matter what you try. People with Long COVID, ME/CFS, and chronic fatigue often do everything right: clean up their diet, run labs, try every supplement, and they still don't recover. In this conversation, Patrick Porter, PhD, founder of BrainTap, explains why nervous system regulation may be the piece that keeps getting skipped. We cover how stress recovery, brainwave training, sleep quality, and brain fitness affect energy production, mental clarity, and the body's ability to heal. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chronic stress is often less of a problem than a lack of recovery How nervous system dysregulation can keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight mode The connection between brainwaves, energy production, and brain fog Why sleep quality matters more than simply spending more hours in bed How light, sound, and brainwave training are used to support neuroplasticity Practical strategies that may help improve focus, resilience, recovery, and sleep Guest: Patrick Porter, PhD is an award-winning author, speaker, and founder of BrainTap, a neuroscience-based platform specializing in brain fitness, neuroplasticity, and brainwave entrainment technology. Backed by 30 plus clinical studies and trusted by over 120,000 users and 3,000 health clinics worldwide, his work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and the Joe Rogan Experience.

Alone in a Dark Hospital Room, She Asked Claude

Health Hats, the Podcast

Using AI to track symptoms, weigh medication options, and advocate. Not a cure, a toolkit. An honest, careful path without handing over the wheel. Summary Health Hats reviewed Melissa Reynolds' book on pregnancy in 2019, and they bonded over the fact that a man had blurbed it. Now she's on to something new: she’s been figuring out how to use AI to manage a body that’s been hard to live in for two decades. The turning point came in a diagnostic unit, alone in the dark with no idea what would happen next. She opened Claude and asked what the odds were. The answer was enough to let her breathe. What follows is one of the more grounded conversations you’ll hear about patients and AI. She tracks her symptoms in a spreadsheet and asks AI to surface what she’s missing, which is how she learned that her fatigue flares two days before her gut does. She brings research to her GP, who welcomes it and smiles. She nods at the gastroenterologist, who warns her off “that ChatGPT thing.” She’s careful about the politics, careful about the safeguards, and clear that this is for driving your own care, not replacing your clinicians. Her advice for anyone curious is refreshingly un-hyped: know what state you’re in, get a buddy if you’re vulnerable, and tell the tool what you actually need. She calls it a powerful toy, used well.

Contents Podcast episode on YouTube Episode Proem Melissa Reynolds and I bonded when she invited me to review her book on pregnancy, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome in 2019. That still makes us both laugh: a man had written one of the blurbs on the back cover. I thought it was a riot. Melissa thought it made perfect sense because the people who most need to understand what a pregnant body is going through are often the ones standing next to it, trying to help but not quite getting there. Although we follow each other and frequently comment on each other’s posts, our last real conversation was in 2020 about a yoga program she was starting. A few small things from that conversation are still part of my every-other-day stretching and balance routine. I’m drawn to Melissa because she accepts what is, including that hard-to-live-with body, and creates and shares tools for those of us with the same or different diagnoses but similar lived experiences. All for best health. Our friendship has grown virtually, so we can pick up where we left off. This time, I reached out to Melissa after seeing her posts about her exploration of AI. Alone in the dark with a question Health Hats: What lessons are you learning as you use AI? Melissa: It’s funny to say you use AI because it’s hard not to use it now. But I’ve started exploring how AI can support me on my health journey. For a while, I was using it for bits and pieces. Then this gut issue came up. I don’t know if you’ve seen much of the journey, but I suddenly developed severe gut issues. They sent me for stool tests, which I’d never done before, and the results came back abnormally, astronomically high, so they sent me to the hospital. Melissa: They ran all sorts of tests. They rushed me through a colonoscopy, and then I was sitting there on my own in the dark in this hospital room. It’s an ADU unit, so it’s for diagnostic purposes. It’s not a ward. There was no TV, hardly anyone around, and I was quite alone, with no idea what could happen next. Melissa: So, I went into Claude and explained what had happened, and I said I needed to know, statistically, what was likely going on. It talked me through what it could be. That was enough for me to relax and go, okay, that’s cool. Health Hats: Where does it stand now? Melissa: Until a week ago, it looked very likely it was going to be one of those irritable bowel diseases. But right now, we’re completely unclear. I’ve got more specialists to see. But I realized the applications, so I started researching. Deciding to use every tool Melissa: Look, I’ve been sick for 20 years. I’ve been mistreated more than I’ve been well treated, and I’ve lost half my life. A lot of the doctors I saw were, meh. In the last 10 years, I’ve improved my life dramatically, but what upsets me is that I’m still nowhere near normal. That means I was very sick, and most of the doctors I saw were like, meh, even though there were concrete things to treat. They were misdiagnosing me. They were not treating me. Melissa: So I thought I was going to use every tool I had available. I actually told Claude, “Okay, you know my history. We’ve been chatting for a while. Tell me how I can use what you can do better.” The fatigue was signaling two days early Melissa: I do a lot of data analysis in my part-time job, so I thought, let’s get serious about my data analysis. I moved my symptom tracking from a physical book to a spreadsheet. Then I created a prompt where I upload it once a month and say, “Here’s my data. Tell me what you’re noticing that I’m not.” It notices things I don’t. Health Hats: Like what? Melissa: It was the post-exertion malaise flares that I wasn’t quite understanding. Health Hats: Post-exertion malaise. That’s the blowback from overdoing it, the hallmark of ME/CFS and other energy-limiting conditions? Melissa: Yes. It also picked up that when I was having my gut flares, my fatigue would signal a couple of days beforehand. Every time I had a gut flare, my fatigue would worsen beforehand. So, it’s now pretty clear that whatever’s going on with my gut is systemic. It’s part of a larger situation, not just related to my gut. Melissa: The data analysis and the research have been so helpful. I say, do some deep research, and I want you to talk to me about this topic, and it does. But you have to be very clear about what you want it to do. There’s a lot to learn about prompting. It’s very nuanced. Smiling, nodding, and using it anyway Health Hats: How do the clinicians you’re partnering with respond? Are they curious or suspicious? There must be a range of responses. Melissa: It depends. My gastroenterologist keeps saying, “Oh, I hope you’re not using that,” and they always say ChatGPT when they mean AI. So I’m smiling and nodding, but obviously I was. My GP, though, is fantastic. She loves it when I bring her research. She’s engaged. If you’re comfortable with people googling, then AI is just the next step. It’s more efficient than googling. Melissa: And I never go to her and say, “I’ve self-diagnosed myself with this.” It’s more like, “I’ve done some research.” Here’s a practical example. The gastroenterologist suggested a medication, and I don’t feel comfortable taking it. Even though they downplay the interaction with another medication I’m on, I don’t feel comfortable with the overall risk, especially when you’re playing with heart rate and blood pressure. I have low blood pressure and heart rate issues. Melissa: The wonderful thing about AI, compared to what I can do on a hard day, is that it can pull things together. We were talking about this medicine, and it found an alternative, a lower-risk medicine that also supports this other thing. The one thing I don’t want is to end up on loads of medicines and not be sure what’s working. A doctor is surely happy to have me as an informed participant in my care, especially when chronic conditions require patient buy-in. Where the records actually live Health Hats: You’re in New Zealand. I always wonder how the culture and politics around medicine and these tools differ from those here, where it’s a bit of a free-for-all and the guardrails are thin. Melissa: We’re in a very different situation. For a start, we’re a public system, but it’s crumbling. You have the people reliant on it, the people failed by it, and the few who can afford private insurance, which mostly just means you see the same people without being gatekept. We’re very segregated. Each specialty focuses on a single organ. As far as I know, we have one multidisciplinary clinic for long COVID, and it’s in the South Island, so I have no access to it, even though my ME/CFS came on after a viral illness and I’d benefit from exactly that. Melissa: What we do have is one public record that’s stayed with me, and a recent change that allows patients to request any information an organization holds about them. That’s actually how a lot of things changed for me. I got access to my patient portal at 32, and that’s how I found out I’d been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. No one had told me. They’d just written it in there. Health Hats: As opposed to all the times you were misdiagnosed, with both false positives and false negatives. And pulling it all together is the trick. I have a four-pound box of paper from one office, 500 pages, and 291 pages of PDF from another for three months of visits, all out of order and wildly redundant. So much of it is wrong. You start to realize that, at best, it’s grade-D information, and what I put in my journals and spreadsheets is probably the most accurate, which a doctor would never agree to. Melissa: It’s the same here. The onus is still on the patient to gather it all and then use it. That’s a whole other thing, and it’s something I’ve always struggled with. A very powerful toy Health Hats: What words of wisdom do you have for people who are using these tools? Do you want to encourage them or caution them? Melissa: First, think about what state you’re in. If you’re a bit vulnerable, don’t feel confident with technology, or are unsure about any of it, then seek guidance. Have a buddy or a mentor to do it with. Melissa: If you’re like me, data-oriented and logical, deep research is great. But if you’re someone who needs minimal information and more would fry your nervous system, then either don’t do it, ask someone to do it for you, or tell the AI, “I don’t need lots of detail; give me the three key points I can take away.” You can always guide it. Many people use it like they’re talking to someone, which can be useful when you’re working through things. But if you can prompt it well, you’ll get what you need. Melissa: That’s why I’m writing a series of articles. I want to guide people so they can focus on one thing, like how to use their data to get good analysis, because it’s a lot. First, you’ve got to learn how to prompt, then what to put in, then how it works. My articles are trying to make it more accessible. It’s always us, the people who are chronically ill, who are least able to jump on opportunities and make the most of them, and we’re the ones who need it most. But if you’re worried about it or opposed to it, leave it. Health Hats: I’m not a black-and-white person; I’m more nuanced. It helps with some things but not others. One thing I’m struggling with is that it gives me too much to share, and I want to share all that depth. Maybe it’s useful for me, but not for other people. So, I’m learning to set limits. My audience has three minutes or 500 words. Then I can ask more questions. It’s amazing. It’s a toy, in a way. A very powerful toy. Melissa: Thank you so much. I can’t believe it’s been so long. Health Hats: I know. Do we need to make an appointment for another four years? Melissa: No, let’s do six months. Health Hats: Sounds good. See you around the block. Reflection Neither of us is going to be cured, whatever that word even means. But I am living a good life. I am playing music, traveling, and in love. My grandson just turned eighteen and is graduating from high school. Life is good. That is the whole point, really. The point was never the technology. I know my enthusiasm for using Claude turns some people off. A number of you seriously distrust anything with AI in it, and I don’t dismiss that. I’m uneasy too, less about the tool in my hands than about the AI-industrial complex behind it, the money, power, and momentum, something like splitting the atom: enormous force, no guarantee of where it gets pointed. And yet here I am, using Claude and Claude Cowork to cut the forty to sixty hours I spend on each episode down to about twenty. I’ll share how in future episodes. I hold the worry and use the tools anyway. The point is deciding to drive our own train and being glad to have one more tool in the cab. A tool, a toy used best by someone who knows their own mind and keeps both hands on the wheel.

Während Russlands Machthaber Putin internationale Gäste zu einem Wirtschaftsforum in Sankt Petersburg empfängt, greift die Ukraine in Putins Heimatstadt ein Öldepot und militärische Einrichtungen an. Solche Angriffe zu diesem Anlass hat Julian Röpcke nicht erwartet. Der Journalist der Bild-Zeitung spricht mit Host Anna Engelke über die russische Flugabwehr und über die militärische Lage an der Front. Julian Röpcke war selbst häufig vor Ort und berichtet eindringlich, was er zum Beispiel in der Stadt Cherson erlebt hat. Die Menschen versuchen, mit dem Pflanzen von Bäumen russische Drohnen abzuhalten, wegen der häufigen Explosionen tragen Kinder Ohrschützer.Im Interview geht es auch um die systematischen Angriffe auf Zivilisten und z.B. die Energieinfrastruktur, mit denen Russland die Menschen mürbe machen will.

Lyme disease spent 13 years dismantling Tanya Hoebel's life before she found her way back, and the six steps she used to recover are not what most people expect. Most providers never look past the surface. Tanya learned that the hard way, and what finally worked was a framework most people in the chronic illness community never get shown. In this conversation, she walks through the six layers she believes have to be addressed to actually recover: killing pathogens, opening detox pathways, clearing mold and heavy metals, retraining the nervous system, releasing blocked traumas, and doing the emotional work most protocols never mention. If Lyme keeps coming up in your story alongside Long COVID or chronic fatigue, this episode is worth your time. In this episode, you'll learn: Why standard Lyme tests often come back negative even when Lyme is present The 6 layers Tanya identifies as non-negotiable for recovery, including the two most people skip Why detoxification may matter more than killing pathogens, and what happens when you skip it How physical and emotional trauma can reactivate dormant Lyme or trigger co-infections Free and low-cost nervous system tools that work even when you are bedridden Why unresolved blocked traumas and emotional grief can stall recovery even after the physical work is done Guest: Tanya Hoebel is the host of the podcast Lyme and Beyond with Tanya, where lived experience meets compassion, hope, and empowerment for those navigating Lyme disease and chronic illness. After a 13-year journey from undiagnosed to bedridden to thriving, Tanya turned her personal struggles into a mission to help others feel less alone and more confident in being their own advocates.

I share three common recovery traps and how we can find our way out of them without blame. Today's episode focuses on pacing, nervous system safety, and emotional processing so your body can stabilise and move forwards. • Pushing too hard on a better day and triggering the boom and bust cycle • Banking energy for healing by spending some, enjoying some, and saving some • Stepping off the symptom-fixing merry-go-round and reducing pressure • Creating safety through kindness, gentleness, and small consistent cues • Recognising the emotional load of long COVID, ME/CFS, and health challenges • Finding a safe place to feel emotions without judgement So do let me know how you get on, if these resonate with you, and if you've noticed any other common recovery traps that you might be getting waylaid by.

This summary was brought to you by NVIDIA Nemotron 3 super. What's that, you ask? I don't really know. It sounds a lot like the other models. It's just another dumb clanker serving you the slop you crave. The timeline is bizarrely detailed. You could probably just read that and skip the show. This model is stupid as it does the thing dumb models do and assume that Jack is me because of the way the transcript goes DESPITE MY PROMPTING anyway I am leaving it in there to show clankers are not going to replace us yet. SORRY I FORGOT TO UPLOAD THIS - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER? ---------------------------In this episode of The Two Jacks, Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack tear into the Albanese government's deeply unpopular budget, the polling fallout, and Labor's failure to sell hard tax changes on housing, trusts and capital gains. They dig into intergenerational equity, how negative gearing and CGT discounts have locked younger Australians out of home ownership, and why the government refuses to “own the lie” on broken tax promises.The Jacks then turn to the NDIS blowout and ask whether the scheme now needs to be torn down and rebuilt from first principles to define who is genuinely eligible and where scarce disability money should go. The main course is the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social Cohesion: what its narrow terms of reference miss, why Jewish kids still need security to go to school, how campus politics and parts of the progressive left have turned openly hostile to Jews, and why universities and the ABC are failing basic tests of impartiality and safety. They round things out with a postponed look at Keir Starmer's woes in the UK, Arsenal's title, State of Origin squads, an AFL reset at Carlton, the Tasmanian Devils project, and why pokies – not punters on the nags – are still the real engine of problem gambling in Australia.Timeline (with +25 seconds added for theme music)I've shifted each timestamp forward by 25 seconds to allow for your theme.00:00 – Two Jacks back on deck, Hong Kong plansJack the Insider (Joel Hill) opens the show, checks in with Hong Kong Jack, and talks about heading to Hong Kong in December to speak at a Carbine Club lunch and maybe record from Jack's pub.00:50 – What's on today's menuOutline of the episode: the federal budget and polling, the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social Cohesion, plus (time permitting) Keir Starmer's woes in the UK and, as always, a serve of sport.01:20 – Budget reception and grim pollingThe Jacks walk through Morgan, Newspoll and Demos numbers: Labor's primary stuck in the high 20s–low 30s, One Nation uncomfortably high, and more than half of Australians expecting to be personally worse off under the budget.02:20 – What really matters in a budget: hurt vs “right thing to do”Hong Kong Jack argues the key test isn't whether people feel worse off, but whether they think the budget is the right thing to do, and how that plays into the “battle of ideas” between Labor/Greens and the Coalition/One Nation.03:10 – Intergenerational pitch that never landedJack the Insider dissects Labor's attempt to sell long‑term intergenerational reforms on housing, negative gearing and CGT to millennials and Gen X/Y, and why measures that don't bite until the late 2020s mean nothing to a renter trying to scrape a deposit together now.04:20 – Media honeymoon over and Labor's messaging shamblesDiscussion of how the government misread the media mood, looked stunned when formerly friendly outlets turned on the budget, and why you must expect pushback whenever you hurt someone with fiscal reforms.05:20 – Housing as the core fracture in Australian societyThe Jacks talk about the structural divide between asset‑rich home owners and shut‑out younger cohorts, with home ownership among 30‑ and 40‑somethings collapsing while overall ownership rates barely move.06:20 – Trusts, capital vs labour and the “death duty” scareThey go into the new tax treatment of trusts, how few people actually have family trusts, exemptions for farms and small business, and Tanya Plibersek's bungled breakfast TV defence that let the “death duties” scare run wild.07:20 – Keating rides again: capital too lightly taxedPaul Keating's intervention is unpacked: the argument that the Howard‑era 50% CGT discount helped push house prices from nine times income to 16, and that income is over‑taxed while capital is under‑taxed.08:20 – You can't sell reform if you won't own the lieThe Jacks compare Albanese's handling of broken tax promises with the Hockey/Abbott 2014 “horror budget”, arguing the only way through is to admit circumstances changed, own the lie and explain why you're breaking it.09:25 – Lessons from the 2014 Hockey–Abbott fiascoThey revisit how that budget enraged almost every demographic, how badly it diverged from public opinion despite elite commentary cheer‑squads, and how it helped end both Tony Abbott's and Joe Hockey's careers.10:40 – Can this government reset its pitch?Talk turns to what Labor must do now: scrap the ill‑judged intergenerational “marketing”, articulate clearly that the aim is to rebalance tax from workers to asset holders, and craft a story that can actually be sold.11:25 – NDIS: who's in, who's out and can it be saved?With the NDIS projected to save tens of billions over the forward estimates, Jack the Insider worries about vulnerable people being turfed off the scheme and the political heat that will follow.12:15 – Defining disability and rationing scarce careThey debate whether the scheme should prioritise those with severe physical or cognitive impairments, the difficulty of diagnosing conditions like ME/CFS and long COVID, and the unfairness of some mildly affected participants getting full supports while bedridden patients miss out.13:20 – “Chuck it out and start again?”Hong Kong Jack argues that the only way to fix the NDIS may be to go back to first principles: clearly define eligibility, decide what taxpayers can afford, and accept that these are inherently political choices, not just technocratic ones.14:00 – Enter the Royal Commission into Anti‑Semitism and Social CohesionThe show moves to the new Royal Commission: why the Albanese government was dragged into it, public misconceptions about royal commissions as hanging courts, and what they realistically can and can't fix.14:45 – Royal commissions: shining a light, not magic wandsThe Jacks compare this inquiry with past ones on institutional child abuse and banking, noting how many victims and consumers were left dissatisfied even as some important truths were dragged into the open.15:30 – Terms of reference and an immediate blind spotThey read through the Royal Commission's focus areas – antisemitism drivers, law enforcement and security responses, the Bondi attack, social cohesion – and point out that live criminal proceedings severely limit any examination of the Bondi killer and his father.16:30 – ASIO, counter‑terror cuts and missed warningsJack the Insider notes reports that ASIO cut counter‑terrorism to its lowest level since 9/11 and questions how that could be justified given far‑right activity, Islamist threats and general extremism.17:25 – From “terror hotlines” to BondiHe recounts his own experiences calling the National Security Hotline: indifference before the Old Parliament House fire versus a swift response after the Wieambilla police killings, and what that says about how inconsistent the system can be.18:30 – Private Jewish security and a ball dropped by NSW PoliceThe Jacks highlight reports that Jewish community security raised concerns with police about the Hanukkah festival at Bondi being a vulnerable target, yet only a handful of officers were rostered locally on the day of the attack.19:30 – What should the Commission actually deliver?Discussion of how much of this will be buried in redacted security recommendations versus visible cultural change, and whether the measure of success is Jewish kids being able to attend school or synagogue without armed guards or harassment at university.20:25 – Is anti‑Semitism worse than any time in the last 50 years?Both Jacks agree that anti‑Semitism has surged, then tease out what's driving it on the hard right and increasingly in progressive circles.21:00 – From neo‑Nazis to “global puppeteer” tropesThey explain how anti‑Jewish conspiracy theories about control of banking and politics have spread far beyond small neo‑Nazi cells into broader right‑wing ecosystems, amplified by US media figures who frame Benjamin Netanyahu as a world puppeteer.21:55 – The progressive left's turn against JewsHong Kong Jack describes how the most progressive parts of parties like UK Labour were once full of Jewish members and staff, and how those same spaces are now inhospitable or openly hostile.22:40 – Being Jewish does not equal supporting NetanyahuJack the Insider tells the story of a Jewish oncologist friend in Sydney being accused on social media of “supporting killing babies” simply for trying to explain that many Jews detest Netanyahu and don't back the war in Gaza.23:35 – Progressive Jews feel politically homelessThe Jacks talk about liberal Jews who marched for every progressive cause now finding their neighbours tearing down hostage posters and abusing them, and how emotionally disorienting that break has been.24:30 – Campus culture: free thought or intimidation?They turn to universities, where Jewish academics and students are hiding kippot and Star of David jewellery as staff and student activists target them under the banner of Palestine solidarity.25:15 – Universities failed the basic test: safetyReferencing Greg Craven, they argue universities like Melbourne have utterly failed to keep Jewish students and staff safe and that Education Minister Jason Clare is right to tie some funding to universities' performance on this.26:05 – Writers' festivals, awards and performative politicsThe Jacks briefly digress into Miles Franklin and writers' festivals, mocking the inflated status of “scribblers” and the way literary events have become echo‑chambers for fashionable political positions, including a strong anti‑Israel tilt.27:05 – ABC bias, diversity bureaucracy and the West as villainThey discuss claims that the ABC has an institutional bias against Israel, the way its culture tilts anti‑Western generally, and how a hyper‑bureaucratic diversity regime has replaced clear editorial judgement.28:15 – Diversity box‑ticking and absurd examplesFrom Danish filmmakers being grilled about casting in a 1750 Denmark period piece to arguments about race in a new Odyssey adaptation, they skewer shallow diversity policing that obsesses over skin colour while missing substance.29:05 – Jewish history: persecution on repeatJack the Insider places today's situation in a long arc – from pogroms to Poland–Lithuania's historic tolerance, to the near‑eradication of Polish Jewry in the Holocaust and the emptying out of Jewish communities across the Arab world.30:15 – The modern diaspora: Middle East to ShanghaiThey note surviving Jewish communities in Iran and the historic Jewish community in Shanghai, including refugees from the Russian Revolution and how some of those families later ended up in Sydney.31:00 – What the Royal Commission can't fixThe Jacks stress that the inquiry will not “solve” anti‑Semitism, racism or Islamophobia, and that debates over immigration – often weaponised by racists and opportunists like Pauline Hanson – will continue regardless.31:50 – Treat people equally, drop loaded labels?Hong Kong Jack argues terms like “anti‑Semitism” and “Islamophobia” can bog debate down in definitions and that the better approach is to apply one standard of treatment for all minorities and majorities.32:30 – Immigration, xenophobia and political opportunismThey revisit African “crime gangs” rhetoric under Dutton and Morrison as an example of immigration concerns being used as a vehicle for xenophobic politics, while acknowledging there are legitimate policy questions about migration levels.33:20 – The ABC and fear of making decisionsThe Jacks see the ABC's huge manuals and committees as a symptom of executives who won't make hard editorial calls and instead hide behind process, leaving real bias and safety issues unresolved.34:15 – Royal Commission yardstick: kids and campusesThey circle back to the Commission's ultimate test: whether Jewish kids can attend school and university without harassment or needing a private army of guards, even if that goal is a long way off.35:10 – UK politics teaser: Keir Starmer on the rackThe promised Starmer and UK Labour segment is postponed to next week, with a quick note on how unpopular he's become and how leadership polling improves when pollsters insert alternative names like Andy Burnham.36:05 – Sport: Arsenal's title and Man City's stumbleSport segment begins. The Jacks celebrate Arsenal wrapping up the Premier League after Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth and talk up Arsenal's chances in the Champions League final.36:55 – Aston Villa's big year and the money gapAston Villa's Europa League win over Freiburg is praised, with a note on the massive wage‑bill gulf between the clubs and the broader point that money helps but doesn't always guarantee silverware.37:50 – Relegation scrap and wage‑bill madnessThey look at West Ham, Spurs and Everton in the relegation battle, and at Liverpool's huge salary spend versus their likely fifth‑place finish to show that cheque‑book football has its limits.38:40 – NRL: Origin squads and surprise omissionsOver to rugby league: New South Wales debutants, James Tedesco's recall, Queensland's squad, and the notable omission of Rhys Walsh despite his past Origin heroics.39:25 – Penrith cruising, Broncos smashed and the Dolphins riseThey run through club form – Penrith purring, Warriors flogging the Broncos, the Dolphins and Knights impressing – and how that shapes the season.40:05 – “Magic Round” and marketing guffThe Jacks puzzle over the “Magic Round” concept, comparing it to the AFL's Gather Round and questioning who actually wants to sit through four games at a ground in one day.40:45 – AFL: Hawthorn's Launceston fortress and the coming DevilsDiscussion of Hawthorn's strong record in Launceston, the economic benefits to northern Tasmania, and the AFL's decision to clear the decks for the new Tassie Devils to represent the whole state.41:35 – Carlton's first‑up win after sacking VossThey unpack Carlton's win under interim coach Josh Fraser, the myth of the “new coach bounce”, and how much was actually driven by younger players stepping up and Patrick Cripps taking over late.42:30 – New kids, Parkside hard men and a trip to PortPraise for Ollie Hollands, Jack Ison and other young Blues, a nostalgic nod to brutal Parkside days in the Ammos, and a realistic assessment of Carlton's next test away to Port Adelaide.43:25 – Richmond v Essendon: spoon bowlPreview and framing of Richmond–Essendon as a likely wooden‑spoon decider, with both clubs in different stages of rebuild and pain.44:00 – Geelong v Sydney and reinventing on the runThe Jacks preview the big game at GMHBA, note Geelong's outstanding home record and ability to regenerate with pacey youngsters, and talk about Tyson Stengle's return and Geelong's track record with troubled players.45:05 – Racing, sports betting and the real gambling scourgeThey read and agree with a listener comment that the problem‑gambling spotlight has been cleverly shifted onto racing and sports betting, while pokies – the main driver of harm – skate by.46:00 – WA vs NSW: two natural experiments in pokiesUsing WA's “casino only” pokies model versus NSW pubs and clubs, they highlight data showing problem gambling rates under 1% in WA versus around 5% in NSW.46:45 – Why pokies wreck people faster than the puntThey explain how continuous‑play machines let you burn through cash in seconds, whereas racing forces a pause between bets and makes you consciously choose the next wager.47:25 – JFK gag and conspiracy cultureHong Kong Jack closes with a joke about a JFK conspiracy theorist meeting God and still believing “it goes higher than I thought”, segueing briefly into Jack the Insider's view that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed the gunman.48:15 – Wrap‑up and call for listener topicsThe episode finishes with thanks, a reminder that Jack the Insider is Jack and Hong Kong Jack is Jack, a promise to tackle Keir Starmer properly next week, and an invite for listeners to send in topics via Twitter and email.

Support the Institute today. https://givenow.nova.edu/the-institute-for-neuro-immune-medicine-inim-2025 In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy talks with Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, a PhD immunologist from UC Irvine and founder of ReStem, for a conversation that brings cutting-edge cell therapy research directly to the chronic illness community. Dr. Gonzalez breaks down the science of immune exhaustion, explaining why so many patients with ME/CFS, long COVID, POTS, and autoimmune disorders are stuck in a state of dysfunction that conventional labs and appointments often fail to capture. He introduces the concept of senescent cells, what he calls zombie cells, and explains the specific role natural killer cells play in clearing viral burden and restoring immune balance. Together, Haylie and Dr. Gonzalez explore how cell therapies, specifically quality-cultivated umbilical cord lining stem cells and activated natural killer cells, are being used in clinical studies to re-regulate immune systems that have gone into either hyper-inflammatory overdrive or complete exhaustion. Dr. Gonzalez also clarifies the significant difference between legitimate, rigorously tested cell therapies and the inconsistent products flooding the market under the stem cell label. Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, PhD is a regenerative medicine expert and researcher with over 20 years of experience in cell biology, stem cell science, and immune health. He earned his PhD and BS from the University of California, Irvine, where his research focused on immune system interactions following spinal cord injury.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions 2026 POTS Guidelines: What They Update—and the Biggest Blind Spots (Hypermobility, Neurodivergence, and Root Causes)The script reviews the new 2026 POTS Guidelines, noting improvements such as formalized diagnostic criteria, recognition of symptoms beyond tachycardia (GI issues, chronic pain, cognitive dysfunction), and first-line nonpharmacological strategies (fluids/sodium, compression) with a tiered medication approach before graded exercise. It argues the guidelines still miss key drivers for many patients by treating POTS too much as a standalone cardiac issue and failing to emphasize hypermobility/EDS as a common underlying structural cause, including not mandating routine hypermobility screening. It also highlights a major omission: the well-documented triad linking POTS, hypermobility, and neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), arguing that screening and support for neurodivergence can improve brain fog, stress/burnout, and even pain, and that ignoring this skews treatment toward cardiac drugs. The video further situates POTS within overlapping syndromes like fibromyalgia and ME/CFS and cites a 2026 case-control study connecting chronic pain/fatigue with higher odds of likely autism/ADHD, mediated by joint hypermobility, urging a more holistic diagnostic and treatment approach.00:00 Why Guidelines Miss You01:09 What 2026 Adds02:23 The Missing Why02:53 Hypermobility Blind Spot05:03 Neurodivergence Omission07:25 Treatment Algorithm Flaws09:42 Bigger Syndrome Constellation11:50 Key Takeaways Recap12:53 Advocate and Share13:36 Final ThoughtsClick here for the YouTube Channel Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

215 - Overwhelm 101: Why Your System Says “Too Much” (and What to Do Next)

Long Covid Podcast

In this episode of the Long Covid Podcast, I explore one of the most common — and often most confusing — parts of recovery: overwhelm.Overwhelm can feel like your whole system suddenly says “too much”:too much noise, too many sensations, too many decisions, too many feelings, too much uncertainty. It can build slowly over time or arrive out of nowhere — and in Long Covid, ME/CFS, & other post-viral conditions, it often shows up faster and more intensely than before you were ill.In this gentle, practical episode, I look at:What overwhelm actually isHow overwhelm shows up in the bodyWhy overwhelm is so common in recoveryReframing overwhelm as communication, not failurePractical tips to avoid overwhelm, and to meet it when it hitsBy the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel less alone, less confused by your own reactions, and more equipped with language and understanding that can help you navigate overwhelm with more compassion for yourself.Links: Breath Awareness: https://insighttimer.com/LongCovidPod/guided-meditations/gentle-breath-awareness-from-loch-ness-with-waves Reset Button - 2 mins to tranquility: https://insig.ht/xee2ILEGaZb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_shareGentle Somatic Tracking: https://insig.ht/Jlnf2P0w32b STOP: From Overwhelm To Ease: https://insig.ht/1UCyrM2w32b Amy Davies episode on Internalised Pressure: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1835170/episodes/19021956Message me!

They explain how ME/CFS is often hard to diagnose due to lack of a single definitive test, the use of exclusionary testing and symptom criteria, and how cardiopulmonary exercise testing can objectively demonstrate impaired recovery and reduced oxygen utilization, which is useful for disability or legal documentation. They argue the diagnosis is a label, not a root cause, and propose chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) from biotoxin exposure (often water-damaged buildings/mold) as a potential driver, citing Dr. Ming Dooley's review comparing ME/CFS research to CIRS treatment outcomes. They outline next steps: assess exposure history and symptom patterns, take symptom clusters and the VCS test, find a CIRS-literate practitioner, address current environments before protocols, and explore resources and their community membership.

Around Day 2 or 3 of a dry fast, your thermometer starts reading low — 97°F, 96.8°F, sometimes lower. This terrifies people. It shouldn't.The temperature drop isn't hypothermia. It's your body shifting into hibernation mode — deliberately throttling the thyroid, slowing metabolism, and conserving water. It's one of the most intelligent adaptations the human body is capable of, and it's completely reversible.In this video I break down:— The exact numbers: baseline 36.8°C → Day 3 low 36.4°C (-0.4°C total drop)— Why T3 drops 25% during the fast — and why this is adaptive, not pathological— How reverse T3 rises 56% to divert energy spending— Why the temperature drop actually reduces perspiration by 60% — a survival feature— The "healing fever" on Days 4-5 and what's actually producing the heat— Why chronically ill people already run cold (96-97°F) and what that means for protocol entry— When a low body temperature IS a red flag (and how to know the difference)— How temperature recovery predicts full HPT axis restorationThis is the hibernation physiology behind dry fasting — and understanding it removes the fear.

Why do dormant viruses like herpes, EBV, and shingles flare up during a dry fast?

You broke a 5-day dry fast. Two days later, you've got a cold sore, a shingles patch, or that crushing post-mono fatigue is back. Almost everyone blames the fast. They're looking at the wrong window.The dry fast is the safest period your immune system experiences all year. Autophagy is destroying virus-occupied cells. Ketones starve viruses of the glucose metabolism they need. mTOR (the growth signal viruses hijack to replicate) is shut down. And NK cell activity is climbing. Inside that fasted state, viral replication is mechanically and metabolically near-impossible. That's why most people don't flare during the fast itself.The danger is the refeed. The moment food comes back, mTOR turns back on, autophagy shuts off, your T-cells are still parked in bone marrow, cortisol is still peaking, and T3 is still crashed. For 24 to 72 hours your antiviral defences are at zero — and any virus that survived the fast now has an open road to refill the reservoirs the fast just cleared. Worse, it can spread to nerve cells it never previously occupied.In this video I break down:— Why the dry fast creates a near-impenetrable antiviral state (4 mechanisms)— Why the refeed is the highest-risk window in the entire protocol (5 mechanisms)— Why a botched refeed leaves chronically ill patients MORE infected than they started— The bridge strategy: dry fast → water fast → controlled refeed with antivirals already on board— The full pharmacological stack: T3, L-lysine, monolaurin, acyclovir, ivermectin— Early warning signs of reactivation in the refeed window (and what to do)— Why this gets dramatically easier from cycle 3 onward— The T3 off-ramp as the second high-risk window most people missThis isn't a reason to fear fasting. It's the map of when the danger window opens and how to close it before food can.

Where does your body get water from when you stop drinking during a dry fast?

Everyone assumes that if you stop drinking water, your body immediately starts drying out. It doesn't. The second you stop taking in external water, your body flips a switch and starts manufacturing its own — from fat, from glycogen, from stored tissue water that's been trapped in inflammation for years.By Day 3 of a dry fast, your body is producing around 650 mL of pure, deuterium-depleted water every single day — entirely from internal sources.In this video I break down every source:— How fat oxidation produces 420 mL of metabolic water per day (65% of supply)— Why glycogen releases 3–4 grams of bound water for every gram burned— How your kidneys lock down — urine output drops 79%, sodium retention up 87%— The osmotic pull that drains edema, bloat, and organ congestion into usable water— Why ADH (vasopressin) spikes 191% and aldosterone spikes 90% — the water conservation hormones— Why internal metabolic water is higher quality than anything you can drink— The safety math: 650 mL produced vs 740 mL lost = only mild deficit at Day 3This is why dry fasting is safer than it sounds — and why multi-day fasts can sustain themselves far longer than most people realise.

The honest picture is more nuanced than either the success stories or the skeptics suggest, and the details matter a lot depending on where you are in your recovery. In this episode, you'll learn: Why carnivore functions as an extreme elimination diet and who it tends to help most The gut microbiome trade-off that rarely gets mentioned by carnivore advocates Why electrolyte management is non-negotiable for anyone with POTS or autonomic dysfunction What it means when your symptoms return the moment you reintroduce carbohydrates The nutrients most depleted in chronic fatigue patients and how animal foods address them Why diet alone has not been enough to produce full lasting recovery when the Toxic 5 root causes are still active Discover your fatigue score and the root causes keeping you stuck: https://myfatiguescore.com Free Fatigue Masterclass: https://www.energymdmethod.com/masterclass-registration See real patient results: https://energymdmethod.com/results Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome to the EnergyMD Podcast 01:31 - What the Research Actually Shows 02:27 - Community Reports and Real Stories 04:33 - Who Does Carnivore Work Best For 05:11 - Carnivore as an Extreme Elimination Diet 06:40 - Biological Reasons Carnivore Helps 08:04 - The Gut Microbiome Concern 09:47 - Can You Come Off Carnivore After Recovery 11:04 - The Electrolyte Issue and POTS Risk 13:02 - The Toxic Five Root Causes 15:01 - How to Try Carnivore Safely Subscribe to the EnergyMD Podcast for weekly conversations with leading experts on resolving ME/CFS and Long COVID by addressing the real root causes. .

Why does not drinking water heal you faster than drinking water during a dry fast?

Most people assume water fasting is the gold standard — but the science tells a different story. When you remove water completely, your body activates a second autophagy pathway that water fasting simply cannot reach at any duration. One day of dry fasting can match three days of water fasting in cellular cleanup depth.In this video I break down exactly why:— Dry fasting triggers two independent autophagy pathways simultaneously— Your body produces its own deuterium-depleted water from fat (and external water shuts this off)— Hyperosmotic stress reorganises the cell's internal highway, enabling virophagy — the clearance of latent viral reservoirs— The cortisol surge + IGF-1 drop + HGH spike combination creates conditions water fasting can't replicate— Why the real healing happens 2–4 weeks after the fast ends, not during itThis is the mechanism behind The Scorch Protocol — a dry fasting, T3 therapy, and hGH framework built for reversing Long Covid, ME/CFS, and chronic illness.

In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking development in the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) — a condition that affects millions worldwide, yet remains notoriously difficult to identify… Joining the podcast to discuss this topic are Alexandre Akoulitchev and Dmitry Pshezhetskiy, who break down a novel blood test designed to detect biological signatures associated with chronic fatigue. Their work centers on cutting-edge epigenetic science and biomarker discovery, offering new possibilities for more objective and earlier diagnosis of complex, hard-to-measure conditions. Hit play to discover: How a blood-based biomarker test may help identify chronic fatigue syndrome. The role of epigenetics in understanding complex, "invisible" illnesses. The four key symptoms of ME/CFS, and why it's so difficult to diagnose. How inflammation signals can contribute to chronic fatigue. Alexandre Akoulitchev is a molecular biologist specializing in genome regulation and chromatin architecture. He is a cofounder of Oxford BioDynamics and the creator of its EpiSwitch biomarker platform. He earned his PhD in cell biology from University College London.
