Renaissance English History Podcast: A Show About the Tudors
There is a written recipe for Henry VIII's perfume. It's in a 1608 book called A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, and it's rosewater, sugar, musk, ambergris, and civet, boiled down softly for an entire day. I had no idea that existed until I sat down with Jen Siems of Immortal Perfumes, who has spent 14 years building fragrances out of archival research. Jen is a self-taught perfumer and a former English teacher, which means she talks about rare book rooms the way most people talk about their favorite TV show. She also has Elizabeth's recipe, which includes marjoram for headaches and a truly unreasonable amount of sugar. If you know anything about Elizabeth's teeth, that tracks. We get into: Where ambergris actually comes from, and why a kid walking on an English beach can stumble onto $50,000 worth of it Whether the Tudors really stank, and how much of that reputation we've made up Miasma theory, and why smelling magnificent was a health strategy and a PR strategy at the same time Catherine de' Medici, perfumed gloves, and how French perfume as we know it started with a Florentine bride Mary Queen of Scots' golden pomanders, and the violets-and-sparkling-wine legend that got misattributed to Anne Boleyn for years What Jude Law wore on the set of Firebrand to play a dying Henry, and why Alicia Vikander couldn't stand to be near him Fair warning, Jen explains how civet gets harvested and it involves a comparison to taking your dog to the vet. I was not ready. GIVEAWAY: Jen is giving away a vintage Avon Queen Elizabeth bottle (her torso lifts off, it's wonderful) filled with the Immortal Perfumes scent of the winner's choice.

¿Y si el arte no fuera solo una pasión, sino la herramienta financiera más poderosa que existe? En este episodio de Dimes y Billetes hablamos con Filippo Giusti, artista italiano radicado en San Miguel de Allende, sobre por qué decidió romper el mito del "artista bohemio pobre" para convertir su obra en un negocio serio.

Katoliker och protestanter i Frankrike har avverkat tre krig under 1560-talet, de tycker inte om varandra. De franska protestanterna kallar sig hugenotter, och nu ska en av deras förnäma representanter, Henrik av Navarra, gifta sig med den franska katolska prinsessan Margot. Den som styrt ihop det hela är änkedrottning Katarina av Medici. Av olika oklara skäl, som vi har teorier kring, avrundas bröllopets festligheter med ett ojämförligt blodbad på tusentals hugenotter i Paris. Följ med oss till det som är de franska religionsstridernas klimax såväl som lågvattenmärke.

Bianca Capello led a life of mystery, danger, and love. Born into wealth and surrounded by a family tradition of medicine, she defied convention to rise to the very top of Renaissance Florentine society.Famously beautiful, Bianca is perhaps best remembered as the mistress and eventual wife of Francesco de' Medici. But her life and legacy extend far beyond her relationship with one of Florence's most powerful men.In today's episode, I'm joined by Gigi Berardi, author of Bianca's Cure, to uncover the woman behind the legend. Together, we explore Bianca's remarkable life, the hidden histories woven into the streets and buildings of Florence, and the women whose contributions to medicine, science, and intellectual life have too often been left out of the historical record.Music Credit: Renaissance by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.

Have you ever heard of abraxas? These are talismans in the shape of oblong shields, covered with motifs inspired by Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology, and engraved with Kabbalistic prayers, Hebrew words, and magical symbols. One could easily believe that these strange jewelry pieces belong to the wizards of tales and legends…And yet, they were made by a human hand! No surprise then that the Queen of France, the feared Catherine de' Medici, had her very own talisman, one that would fuse jewelry art … and alchemy!Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

EPISODE SUMMARY Amanda di Medici is the founder of Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business helping employers address the hidden cost of financial stress in the workplace. After careers spanning technology, mortgage broking, financial counselling and adult education, Amanda built Yenom to reach a group she calls the "working poor": people who have jobs, but not enough left over to actually get ahead, and who fall outside every government-funded support service because they don't hold a Centrelink card. In this conversation, Amanda shares the personal turning point that led her to build Yenom, why she has deliberately built the business to be commission-free and product-free, and how financial stress is fast becoming recognised as a genuine psychosocial risk inside Australian workplaces. She also explains the story behind the name Yenom, and previews the financial wellbeing app she is launching in August 2026. IN THIS EPISODE Amanda's early lesson in money management, and the friend's offhand comment that changed how she thought about saving Her path from law, finance and adult education into mortgage broking, and what she saw there that she couldn't unsee Why she calls her audience the "working poor," and who falls into that gap between paying the bills and being supported The personal catalyst, turning 50 and losing her sister, that pushed her to build Yenom Why Yenom is built to be 100% independent, with no AFSL, no products sold, and no commissions The story behind the name Yenom, and the brief she gave her branding team: "know thyself" What she's seeing in the mining sector, including apprentices earning six-figure salaries who are bankrupt within five years How financial stress is emerging as a workplace psychosocial risk, and its link to AI-driven job uncertainty The financial wellbeing app launching in August, and how it fits alongside Yenom's corporate and workshop offerings Amanda's dream for Yenom: her app in a hundred thousand pockets, and a foundation that funds financial literacy long after she's gone ABOUT AMANDA DI MEDICI Amanda di Medici has an educational background in Law, Finance and Adult Education, along with over thirty years' experience across tech and community services. While exploring a self-employment opportunity in finance broking, Amanda saw first-hand the need for comprehensive, basic financial education among the many people she met each day, from those seeking zero-deposit home loans, to those caught in "rent to buy" schemes, to those with no realistic path to credit at all. That experience led her into roles with the Brotherhood of St Lawrence and TAFE NSW, where she built the grounding in structure, support and outcomes behind effective financial literacy education. Twenty years on, Amanda founded Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business that meets people where they are: at work. Yenom combines workplace financial wellbeing programs with a gamified mobile app, and its defining principle is independence. Yenom does not sell or recommend financial products, and does not sell or market using client data. Its sole objective is personal financial understanding and increased wellbeing. Amanda is also a sponsor of the Women in Mining Network and works closely with the mining and heavy industry sectors.

Dr. Clinton Phillips has spent his career proving that the future of medicine isn't treating sickness — it's preventing it. After his daughter's vaccine injury sent his family into a 15-year medical maze, he founded Second MD to connect patients with the world's best specialists. Today, through his company Medici, he's on a mission to build the world's healthiest community — and to show us that 80–90% of cancer is preventable.In this raw, real conversation we get into:
TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8622COVID, LA REISCRIZIONE PER I MEDICI RADIATI E' UN ATTO DI GIUSTIZIAdi Paolo Gulisano La Commissione Affari sociali della Camera ha approvato, il 14 luglio 2026, un emendamento che permette ai medici radiati dall'Ordine durante la pandemia di Covid di chiedere la reiscrizione all'albo professionale. La norma porta la prima firma della deputata di Fratelli d'Italia Alice Buonguerrieri. È inserita nella legge delega di riforma delle professioni sanitarie. L'emendamento non prevede un reintegro automatico. I medici radiati potranno presentare istanza di reiscrizione entro sessanta giorni dall'entrata in vigore della legge. Chi sono questi medici? La misura riguarda i sanitari che vennero radiati con l'accusa di «aver promosso attivamente pratiche antiscientifiche durante la pandemia, mettendo a rischio pazienti e salute pubblica». Non riguarda invece i medici che semplicemente non si erano vaccinati: per loro la sanzione era stata la sospensione, non la radiazione, ed è decaduta già nel novembre 2022.La radiazione è la sanzione disciplinare più grave. Cancella un professionista dall'albo. Viene applicata solo in casi estremi, come a seguito di reati penali nell'esercizio della professione. In realtà i medici radiati nel periodo pandemico subirono questa sanzione solo per aver espresso un pensiero difforme rispetto alla narrazione ufficiale. Non si limitarono ai protocolli governativi, tachipirina e vigile attesa, ma intrapresero cure con vari farmaci, in particolare antinfiammatori.Fummo non pochi a praticare le cure precoci domiciliari, ma alcuni - qualche decina di medici, rei forse di aver divulgato pubblicamente questo tipo di attività terapeutica, e i conseguenti successi clinici - vennero denunciati e condannati alla radiazione per «diffusione pubblica di terapie prive di basi scientifiche».La decisione della Commissione Affari sociali giunge dopo cinque anni a mettere fine a questa vergogna, all'aver discriminato, messo alla gogna e allontanato dalla professione dei sanitari colpevoli solo di un "reato" di opinione, ovvero di avere un pensiero critico nei confronti di protocolli ufficiali di tipo sperimentale che non avevano prove scientifiche di efficacia. Tutti gli studi degli ultimi anni hanno dimostrato che attraverso cure domiciliari precoci, e attraverso l'utilizzo di farmaci antinfiammatori così come di antitrombotici e persino degli antibiotici tanto osteggiati dalla narrazione ufficiale, si sarebbero potute salvare migliaia di vite.Il reintegro dei medici radiati è un atto dovuto e meritorio, soprattutto in un momento in cui il sistema sanitario ha disperatamente bisogno di medici. Eppure, questa scelta del governo ha visto l'immediata, incomprensibile levata di scudi di alcuni soggetti. In primis il presidente della Federazione nazionale degli ordini dei medici chirurghi e degli odontoiatri , Filippo Anelli, che ha lanciato un appello al Parlamento perché riveda la norma che introduce la possibilità di reiscrizione immediata per i sanitari radiati durante il Covid. Anelli ha detto che questi medici «non hanno creduto nella Scienza durante il Covid e non hanno tenuto comportamenti aderenti alle nostre norme del Codice di deontologia». Ancora una volta la scienza è eretta a idolo, a divinità indiscussa che «deve essere il punto di riferimento della nostra società». Quale scienza, è lecito chiedersi. La medicina è una branca scientifica che si avvale di continui e nuovi contributi, non un Moloch intoccabile. In tempi in cui non si crede più a nessuna verità rivelata, la scienza dovrebbe guidare la vita dei cittadini. Gli esiti dell'epidemia stanno a dimostrare quanto questa proclamazione dogmatica non regga.Inoltre, l'intervento del dottor Anelli impressiona per la sua spietatezza: continuare a mantenere la radiazione di questi colleghi rappresenta una vera e propria forma di accanimento senza alcuno scopo. Una criminalizzazione di professionisti che non hanno compiuto alcun fatto doloso.Purtroppo la voce del presidente Anelli non è rimasta isolata. Aveva uno scopo chiaramente politico, rivolto innanzitutto alle forze d'opposizione nell'attuale Parlamento, ma ha trovato una sponda anche nel centrodestra, nella persona del presidente della Regione Lombardia, Attilio Fontana. L'inquilino di Palazzo Lombardia ha ribadito che i medici radiati devono continuare ad esserlo, sempre in nome del primato della scienza. Peccato che nel 2023 lo stesso Fontana avesse sposato la tesi secondo cui la causa della gravità del Covid in alcune persone fosse dovuta a dei fantomatici geni risalenti all'uomo di Neanderthal. Non la mancanza di cure adeguate, non il tracollo della sanità territoriale, non la mancanza di posti letto conseguenza di scelte del governo regionale, ma l'uomo delle caverne aveva determinato in Lombardia il tasso di mortalità più alto d'Europa. Forse è su quanto accadde allora che Fontana dovrebbe indagare, anziché accodarsi alle richieste di accanimento, che rappresentano anche un brutto segnale politico che andrebbe prontamente colto e neutralizzato.Nota di BastaBugie: Andrea Zambrano nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "La condanna della vigile attesa e la vittoria dell'indometacina" parla della perizia della Commissione Covid che sancisce il fallimento della raccomandazione "paracetamolo e vigile attesa".Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 28 luglio 2026:Per poter "apparecchiare" le prove della disfatta della gestione dell'ex ministro Roberto Speranza, la Commissione di indagine Covid aveva bisogno della "pistola fumante" da presentare all'ex titolare della Salute. E l'ha trovata con una corposa perizia tecnica che boccia senza appello la raccomandazione di Paracetamolo e vigile attesa che fu la prima indicazione ministeriale durante i drammatici mesi della pandemia.Ora, con un giudizio del genere, che certifica che l'approccio della vigile attesa nei pazienti paucisintomatici fu deleterio e aggravò i ricoveri in ospedale, la Commissione dovrà chiedere a Speranza di presentarsi per essere audito. E questo rappresenterà sicuramente uno dei momenti più importanti nella vita della Commissione alla ripresa dei lavori parlamentari dopo la pausa di agosto.E lo farà presentandogli i risultati di una perizia, che difficilmente l'ex ministro potrà smentire.Anzitutto perché la perizia è stata affidata non ad un medico qualunque, ma a un dirigente del Servizio pubblico, la dottoressa Simona Amato, direttore Uoc Accreditamento, Qualità e Risk Management dell'Asl Roma 2. In secondo luogo, perché la sua nomina è avvenuta all'unanimità da parte dell'ufficio di presidenza, nel quale siedono anche esponenti dell'opposizione che all'epoca erano al governo.Eppure, da un punto di vista medico, la perizia della dottoressa Amato non aggiunge nulla di quanto non fosse già noto, ma mette un punto finale su una vicenda che anche su queste colonne abbiamo documentato abbondantemente: l'abbandono terapeutico di migliaia di pazienti che, senza alcuna indicazione da parte dei loro medici di medicina generale, hanno visto aggravarsi la malattia da Covid 19 fino a dover ricorrere alle cure dell'ospedale e in alcuni casi rimettendoci la vita.Si potevano salvare? La domanda resta sullo sfondo, ma la risposta affermativa è implicita nell'analisi della vigile attesa, che, appurato non essere un vero e proprio protocollo medico, è stato considerata anche da parte della Federazione degli Ordini dei medici una «mera raccomandazione». Sì, una raccomandazione, però, che è stata seguita pedissequamente da migliaia di medici e ha fatto danni evidenti.Perché, come si legge nel documento che la Bussola ha potuto visionare «la vigile attesa è un atteggiamento che di norma viene assicurato quando le possibilità̀ di guarigione spontanea sono notevoli e se sappiamo che la malattia, che stiamo affrontando, difficilmente evolverà̀ in maniera pericolosa». E questo non era certo il caso del Covid 19.Ma anche perché «a ben vedere però nemmeno la vigile attesa e la terapia sintomatica avevano all'epoca evidenze solide ed incontrovertibili, vieppiù̀ che la malattia era pressoché́ sconosciuta. Eppure, la citata circolare, in maniera inconfutabile, indica per i pazienti positivi al tampone per infezione da SARS-COV-2, che siano asintomatici o pausintomatici, e si trovino a domicilio, la vigile attesa e trattamenti sintomatici quali ad esempio il paracetamolo». Una follia sanitaria. Motivo per cui - si legge sempre nel documento firmato dalla dottoressa Amato - la "vigile attesa" è andata a impattare nella situazione già critica della organizzazione delle cure territoriali» mentre «per un paziente "a domicilio" nella fase di replicazione virale sarebbe stato logico considerare l'introduzione precoce di trattamento ad azione antivirale, soprattutto se presenti fattori di rischio per progressione di malattia, piuttosto che la vigile attesa e il paracetamolo».Nel testo la Amato spiega molto bene - come la Bussola fece dando voce a numerosi medici sul campo - il meccanismo di proliferazione della malattia da Covid e, sostanzialmente, la sua evoluzione in una malattia diversa in fase grave. Invece «l'approccio di vigile attesa e paracetamolo indicato dalla prima circolare del 30 novembre 2020 non ha tenuto conto delle prove scientifiche effettivamente a disposizione nella letteratura scientifica dando, dunque, delle indicazioni non supportate da prove di efficacia e ponendo quindi a rischio di evoluzione di malattia i pazienti paucisintomatici a domicilio».E questo ha provocato

Clint Phillips started out as a chiropractor, built it into a healthcare company he sold for $460 million, and along the way ended up treating some of the most powerful people alive. He'd seen the system work at the highest level money can buy.Then his own family needed it, and it fell apart on him. The waiting. The confusion. The bureaucracy. A parent trying to get the right help while everything moved at its own pace, watching the same system that served world leaders leave the people he loved stuck in line.That's when healthcare stopped being a business to him. Medici is what he built next: whole-body assessments and real data, made to catch what's coming years before it becomes a crisis. Then there's Dr. Gabi, the AI doctor he built to give people health guidance that isn't paid by anyone to keep them sick. Which is where the title stops being hypothetical, Clint made the thing. Whether it should ever replace the doctor across the desk from you is the conversation. What we got into:— Whether AI ends up replacing your doctor, or doing the opposite and giving you one with the time to actually listen.— What a 30-second facial scan can read off your face before a single symptom shows.— Why we feel worse than ever with more doctors, more drugs and more technology than any generation before us.— Who actually profits when you stay sick, and why prevention is a terrible business model.— Peptides, microplastics and the longevity tools worth your attention— How much your body can do on its own, before anyone prescribes anything.The question underneath the whole conversation with Clint Phillips: why do we wait until the body is already breaking down before we start paying attention?Don't forget to follow Dr. Clint on his socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clintongphillips/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clint-phillips/Web: https://clintphillips.com/Medici: https://medi.ci/Dr. Gabi: https://drgabi.com/Don't forget to subscribe and follow me on my socials!Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/niklasgusta...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Niklas-Gusta...Twitter: https://twitter.com/niklasgustafsonTikTok: @niklasgustafson

Send us Fan MailLong before "Super Tuscan" became a marketing term, the winemakers of Carmignano were already blending Cabernet into their Sangiovese — a tradition that reportedly dates back to Caterina de' Medici in the 16th century. In this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, we sit down with Silvia Vannucci, proprietor of Piaggia in Poggio a Caiano, Tuscany, alongside John Fodera of Tuscan Vines, to explore one of Italy's smallest and most historic wine appellations.Silvia shares the story of how her father, Mauro Vannucci, bought land in 1975 simply to build a house — and ended up founding one of Carmignano's benchmark estates. We walk through the full Piaggia lineup, from the flagship Carmignano Riserva to the standout Cabernet Franc bottling Poggio de' Colli, talk terroir, evolving winemaking styles, and why Carmignano remains better known abroad than in its own backyard.Whether you're a longtime Tuscan wine collector or completely new to Carmignano, this conversation is your primer on a region with roots stretching back to the Etruscans — and a 1716 legal decree from Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici to prove it.In this episode:The accidental origins of PiaggiaWhy Carmignano may be the original "Super Tuscan"A walkthrough of the Piaggia wine portfolioTerroir, tradition, and reducing oak in modern winemakingFood pairings and Silvia's life as Piaggia's global ambassador
In Medici Florence there were two ways of maintaining power - one was money and the other was murder. Isabella de' Medici was the believed daughter of the Medici patriarch, a patron of the arts and a sparkling wit. But that meant nothing to her own husband, who murdered her, or her own brother, who turned a blind eye.Maddy and Anthony are joined by Estelle Paranque author of numerous books, including most recently Thorns, Lust and Glory: the Betrayal of Anne Boleyn.This episode was edited by Amy Haddow.

In 1985, Ferruccio Ferragamo went looking for game in the hills between Florence and Arezzo. He came home having found a thousand-year-old medieval village instead. Years later, his son Salvatore rode a bicycle into those same hills and saw something his father hadn't: a valley whose soil told an entirely different story in every direction, sandstone in one corner, clay rich with sea fossils in another, the memory of an ocean that vanished millions of years before anyone planted a vine. This is the story of Il Borro — a family better known for shoes than soil, who spent three decades turning a ruin into one of Tuscany's most decorated organic estates, and who are now writing a second chapter in Montalcino. Salvatore Ferragamo, Vice President of Il Borro, sits down with Pierre Ferland to talk about the Valdarno di Sopra, an appellation the estate helped bring back from obscurity, the single vineyard behind Alessandro dal Borro, named for a Medici military commander built on an unusually large scale, the horses that plough Nitrito instead of tractors, and Petruna, a return to ancient amphora winemaking that strips Sangiovese back to something almost nothing else in Tuscany attempts. And at the very end, Salvatore says something about Pinino, the family's newer estate in Montalcino, that he didn't have to admit. But did anyway. The bonus episode, where Salvatore goes into the years before certification, the business case behind the vineyard's solar fields, and what actually earns a second bottle of wine, is available exclusively at readbetweenthewines.com. Featuring: Il Borro, Valdarno di Sopra DOC, Tuscany, Italy, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinino, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino.

Cal has a suspicion that the little-known K Economy explains more about where the world is headed than most of what you hear on the news. So he reaches out to one of the world's most masterful interpreters of geopolitics and finance to break it down for the Big Questions audience. As founder of Tanto Capital, Ozan Ozkural flies from one city to the next — advising boards, governments, and investors across the globe, meeting kings, presidents, and financial leaders along the way. Cal met Ozan a decade ago through his pal Larry King, and Ozan became a regular at their breakfast table whenever he was in LA. Ozan is that rare guest who can jump from quantum computing to the Medici family in Renaissance Italy to the future of Chinese demographics in the same conversation. In this episode, Ozan decodes the K Economy down to a level of human evolution that leaves even Cal stunned.

Un emendamento di Fratelli d'Italia vuole consentire ai cosiddetti medici No Vax di essere reintegrati all'interno dell'Ordine dei medici dopo esserne stati radiati. Una possibilità malvista dallo stesso Filippo Anelli, presidente della Fnomceo, la Federazione nazionale degli Ordini dei Medici, ospite in trasmissione per spiegarne le ragioni. Parliamo poi della donna assolta dalla Corte d'Assise d'Arezzo dopo che ha soffocato la madre affetta da Alzheimer causa burnout.

Send us Fan MailQuímica del Agua: Lo Que Todo Profesional de Piscinas Debe Saber (Parte 2)En este episodio de Talking Pools en Español, continuamos con una inmersión profunda en la química del agua, explicando conceptos que con frecuencia generan confusión incluso entre técnicos con experiencia.Hablamos de la importancia del cepillado como herramienta preventiva contra las algas, analizamos los distintos tipos de desinfectantes disponibles y aclaramos uno de los conceptos más malinterpretados de la industria: el contenido de cloro disponible.También exploramos las diferencias entre cloro, bromo, ozono y luz ultravioleta, cuándo utilizar cada uno y cuáles son sus ventajas y limitaciones.Además, Rudy explica la importancia de realizar pruebas precisas del agua, cómo interpretar correctamente los resultados y por qué un profesional nunca debe limitarse a "agregar químicos y marcharse". La verdadera diferencia entre un técnico y un profesional está en comprender qué está ocurriendo dentro del agua antes de decidir cualquier tratamiento.Si deseas mejorar tus conocimientos sobre química del agua y ofrecer un servicio basado en ciencia y no en suposiciones, este episodio es para ti.En este episodio La importancia del cepillado para prevenir el crecimiento de algas. Por qué un profesional debe diagnosticar antes de tratar una piscina. Cloro estabilizado, hipoclorito de sodio y otros desinfectantes. ¿Qué significa realmente el "contenido de cloro disponible"? Diferencias entre cloro libre y cloro combinado. Cómo funciona el bromo y cuándo es la mejor opción. Ozono y luz ultravioleta como oxidantes suplementarios. Riesgos del bromato cuando se combinan ciertos sistemas. Cómo funcionan los diferentes kits de prueba. Ventajas y limitaciones de los fotómetros y las tiras reactivas. Medición de sólidos disueltos totales (TDS). Dureza de calcio y su importancia para proteger la piscina. Ácido cianúrico: cómo medirlo y por qué controlar su concentración. Rangos recomendados para pH, alcalinidad, calcio y cloro. La importancia de utilizar un kit de prueba para cada producto químico empleado. Casos reales de diagnóstico en instalaciones acuáticas. Pensar "fuera de la piscina" para resolver problemas complejos. La idea principalLos productos químicos no solucionan problemas por sí solos.Los profesionales solucionan problemas porque entienden la química del agua, interpretan correctamente los resultados de las pruebas y toman decisiones basadas en evidencia, no en costumbres o suposiciones.La diferencia entre un técnico promedio y un verdadero profesional comienza con el conocimiento.

The Ultimate Health Assessment: 400 Biomarkers That Could Save Your Life www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. Clint Phillips - MediciMedici Website:Personal Website: Instagram: @medicihealthDr. Gabi AppIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams sits down with Dr. Clint Phillips, founder of Medici Health, to discuss the future of personalized medicine, AI-driven health optimization, peptides, and preventative healthcare.Dr. Phillips shares his deeply personal journey into longevity science, explaining how losing multiple family members at a young age inspired him to dedicate his career to helping people live longer, healthier lives. After building a successful chiropractic and rehabilitation practice in Aspen, Colorado, and later co-founding a medical second-opinion company following his daughter's stroke, he launched Medici Health with one mission: prevent disease before it starts.The conversation dives into Medici's comprehensive annual health assessment, which collects over 400 health data points through advanced blood testing, DNA analysis, DEXA scans, vascular imaging, skin AI analysis, cancer screening, balance testing, and more. Rather than treating disease after it develops, Medici focuses on identifying each person's unique risk factors and creating highly personalized strategies based on genetics, biomarkers, and lifestyle.Brad and Dr. Phillips discuss why personalized medicine is replacing the "one-size-fits-all" approach to health, highlighting examples where simple lifestyle changes—guided by genetic testing—can dramatically reduce disease risk. They also explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, including Medici's AI assistant, Dr. Gabby, which helps users interpret health data, evaluate supplements, scan food products, and even estimate cardiovascular risk using only a smartphone camera.The discussion also covers the rapidly growing field of peptides. Dr. Phillips explains why peptides show tremendous promise for longevity and recovery but emphasizes that they should always be paired with proper laboratory monitoring rather than taken blindly. Brad agrees that objective testing is essential since feeling better doesn't always mean your body is responding positively.Throughout the interview, both emphasize that true health isn't simply avoiding illness—it's building resilience through exercise, nutrition, preventative testing, personalized care, and consistent habits. Dr. Phillips also praises personal trainers as some of the most influential professionals in preventive healthcare, reinforcing Brad's philosophy that fitness coaching remains one of the best investments people over 40 can make.Whether you're interested in biohacking, longevity, AI-powered healthcare, preventative medicine, or simply maximizing your healthspan, this episode provides an insightful look at where the future of healthcare is heading and how personalized data may soon replace generic health advice.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

America often treats sickness after it appears — but what would it look like to catch problems earlier and invest in long-term health before symptoms start? In this episode of The Riley Gaines Show, Riley sits down with Talaya Frazier of Medici to discuss executive health assessments, full-body testing, cancer screening, bone density, cardiovascular health, DNA testing, peptides, inflammation, and the future of root-cause medicine. Riley also shares what she and her husband learned from their own Medici assessments, including unexpected findings around bone density, posture, and gallbladder health.

Valois giminė, meistriškai įvaldžiusi intrigų ir diplomatijos įrankius, pravedė rinkiminę kampaniją Geriausių Tautų Respublikoje šiek tiek per gerai. Sužavėti Lenkijos ir Lietuvos bajorai negalėjo atsispirti žavingiems pasiuntiniams ir jų įtkiniamiems argumentams. Nors mylimiausias Kotrynos di Medici sūnus kitaip įsivaizdavo savo ateitį, iš naujos darbovietės jis išspaudė kiek tik galėjo. Henrikas tapo ne tik mados diktatorium. Jis nutiesė Prancūzijos absoliutizmo pamatus, įgalindamas būsimus šalies valdovus pažaboti išsiskeriojusią oligarchiją. Jo progresyvios reformos tėvynėje aštriai kontrastavo su negarbingu elgesiu Krokuvoje. O nepaisant trumpo laiko, praleisto Geriausių Tautų Respublikoje, Henrikas parsivežė didžiulę patirtį ir krūvą technologinių naujovių. Kokią infrastruktūrą Monlucas žadėjo lenkams? Kiek Henrikų dalyvavo epizode? Kokie argumentai patraukė savo pusėn Radvilas ir Chodkevičius? Ir kodėl Henriko gyvenimą apsprendė ne du, bet trys sostai?

In Renaissance Italy, the gun was not only a tool of war but also a desirable object, a luxury item carried at court. Guns were in use on the battlefield by 1440; later in that century Leonardo da Vinci sketched a design for a faster-firing, more portable handgun that could be hidden beneath a cloak. As the gun proliferated in society, it became both a means of self-defence and a threat to civic order. In The Firearm Revolution: From Renaissance Italy to the European Empires (Princeton University Press, 2026), historian Catherine Fletcher explores the emergence of firearms in Renaissance Italy and beyond, describing the social transformations that accompanied the evolution of the handgun from innovative military technology to widely used personal accessory. Fletcher shows that as guns became smaller and the new wheellock mechanism made concealed carry possible, Italian states increasingly tried to control their use—even as they viewed firearms as necessary for their militias. In the end, Fletcher reports, the importance of civic defence trumped the concern for social order. As guns became ever more acceptable, stories of how firearms aided Europeans' overseas conquests created a new and more positive image for a weapon once considered the devil's work. Debates over the regulation of firearms five centuries ago—which included arguments over the restriction of gun ownership, the use of guns for self-defence and the regulation of an armed militia—in many ways anticipate discussions about gun control today. Fletcher's groundbreaking account sheds new light on how governments weighed the competing priorities of defence and social order as they set out to build empires. Catherine Fletcher is professor of history at Manchester Metropolitan University. She is the author of several books on early modern Italy, including The Roads to Rome, The Beauty and the Terror: An Alternative History of the Italian Renaissance and The Black Prince of Florence: The Life of Alessandro de' Medici.

Had Ada Palmer back on – this time to talk about Machiavelli, perhaps the most misunderstood thinker of all time.Machiavelli cut his teeth as a high-level diplomat for Florence, a position from which he got to closely observe the most important rulers in Europe at the time, including the ones who were on the path to destroying his dearly beloved Florence.In 1513 the Medici retook control of Florence and, wrongly suspecting Machiavelli of participating in a coup attempt, fired, tortured, and exiled him.Machiavelli could have left exile and worked for any number of different principalities that would have been eager to make use of his talents.Instead, he decided to rot in the countryside and compile his career's lessons about power, politics, and human nature into a book he dedicated to the very man whose new regime had tortured and exiled him, Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici.But at least the Medici were in a position to use his insights to defend Florence. Machiavelli the patriot did not want any other hands to touch these books, because those hands, armed further with these lessons, might pose an existential danger to Florence.The closest modern analogy, at least as Machiavelli would have seen it, would be Szilard's letter warning FDR about the possibility of a nuclear fission bomb.What were those insights? And how were they inspired by Machiavelli's dangerous diplomatic missions all across Europe, and his extensive reading of antiquity? Watch this episode with Ada Palmer to find out!By the way, Ada is launching a new podcast which I'm very excited about.

Four years ago, almost to the day of recording, Oliver Bullough was a guest on this show for the first time to discuss his concept of 'Moneyland'. This borderless virtual country where the wealthy go to keep their wealth beyond the reach of any government, any tax office, any voter. Between then and now, I've maintained interest on this thread. Nicholas Shaxson discussed on the pod the cancerous plumbing of the offshore world in Treasure Islands. John Christensen showed how that plumbing quietly corrodes culture and politics. Bill Browder shows where the abstraction becomes violence. Nathan Lynch showed how Australia is every bit as dirty as anywhere else, and Matt Friedman, just a few weeks ago, put a number on the human end of it: $236 billion a year in illicit profit from modern slavery.Oliver's latest book is Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won. His argument is bleak, precise, and very hard to wave away. We have spent decades and roughly $200 billion a year building an anti-money-laundering fortress, and by the best available estimates the share of the world economy being laundered hasn't moved since the 1990s. We get into why governments have failed so completely at this one. We follow the money where it actually goes: not just through banks, but through cash (central banks printing $100 bills faster than they can build factories), through crypto and stablecoins, and through the oldest trick of all — value hidden inside shipments of used cars, watches, oil, grain, the way the Medici did it in Florence. We talk about the scam compounds of Southeast Asia, where trafficked people are tortured into defrauding pensioners on the other side of the world, and how that horror connects — directly, traceably — to the very top of global power, through Tether, Cantor Fitzgerald, and a US Commerce Secretary's family.And underneath all of it, the real subject: the relationship between money and power, and what happens to democracy when the two become the same thing. Oliver's "offshore bandits" — elites who loot their own countries while living and banking somewhere else, feeling none of the consequences — are a darker upgrade on Mancur Olson's stationary bandit. It's a Moneyland story, and it's spreading.There are lighter turns too — Wright Patman, the forgotten Texan congressman who fathered anti-money-laundering law; Peter Pomerantsev and the propaganda war; Bill Browder before he was Bill Browder; and an unexpectedly lyrical detour to the walnut forests and white mountains of Kyrgyzstan.Oliver Bullough...Links Oliver Bullough BooksCurious Worldview SubstackPodcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersLeave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)
In this episode, we step into the blood-soaked and politically fractured world of 16th-century France through the life of Catherine de' Medici. Raised amid the intrigue of Renaissance Italy and thrust into the French throne room, Catherine became one of the most controversial women in European history. As Protestant Reformation ideas spread across Europe and the Catholic Counter-Reformation hardened divisions, France erupted into decades of religious violence between Catholics and Huguenots. We explore how Catherine tried to preserve both her family dynasty and the unity of France through political maneuvering, shifting alliances, and fragile compromises—yet repeatedly found herself swept into escalating chaos."Source: "Famous Men of the 16th & 17th Century" https://amzn.to/4a93ha1

Hai mai notato che il 2 giugno in Italia è tutto chiuso? Niente scuola, niente uffici, banche serrate e, per le strade delle grandi città, militari in alta uniforme, bande musicali e perfino aerei che lasciano scie tricolori nel cielo. Ma cosa si celebra esattamente in questa data? In questo articolo scoprirai la storia della Festa della Repubblica, il vocabolario legato alla storia italiana e qualche curiosità sorprendente. La Festa della Repubblica Spiegata Bene Il 2 giugno è una delle date più importanti del calendario italiano: è la Festa della Repubblica. Ma dietro questa giornata festiva c'è una storia affascinante, fatta di re, referendum e momenti che hanno cambiato per sempre il volto del Paese. L'Italia Prima del 1946: un Paese Ferito Per capire cosa è successo il 2 giugno 1946, bisogna fare un passo indietro. Anzi, parecchi passi indietro, fino al momento della nascita del Paese. Un'Italia Monarchica Dal 1861, l'anno dell'Unità d'Italia, fino al 1946, l'Italia era una monarchia. Questo significa che il capo dello Stato non era un presidente eletto dal popolo, ma un re. La famiglia reale era quella dei Savoia, una dinastia molto antica che aveva governato il Piemonte per secoli. Nota linguistica: in italiano si dice "i Savoia" usando il cognome al plurale per indicare l'intera famiglia. Funziona così anche con altre famiglie famose: "i Medici", "i Borgia", "i Visconti". Se invece si dice "la famiglia Rossi", si usa "Rossi" al singolare. Il Ventennio Fascista e la Guerra Nel 1922 sale al potere Benito Mussolini e inizia il ventennio fascista. Il re dell'epoca, Vittorio Emanuele III, invece di opporsi a Mussolini, gli affida il governo. Mussolini porta l'Italia nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale a fianco della Germania nazista. Il risultato è un disastro totale: città bombardate, milioni di morti, fame, distruzione. L'Italia esce dalla guerra in ginocchio, e molti italiani si chiedono se la colpa sia anche del re, che non ha fermato Mussolini. Espressione utile: quando un Paese è "in ginocchio", significa che si trova in una situazione drammatica, di grande debolezza. Si può usare anche per le persone: "Dopo quel periodo difficile, era in ginocchio". L'Abdicazione di Vittorio Emanuele III A maggio del 1946, sentendo che il vento sta cambiando, Vittorio Emanuele III decide di abdicare, cioè di rinunciare al trono, a favore di suo figlio Umberto II. Spera così di salvare la monarchia, dando un volto nuovo e meno compromesso al regno. Come vedremo, però, non funzionerà. Il Referendum del 2 Giugno 1946: Monarchia o Repubblica? Si arriva così alla data chiave. Il 2 giugno 1946 (e in realtà anche il 3 giugno, perché si votò per due giorni) gli italiani vengono chiamati alle urne per decidere una questione fondamentale: continuare con la monarchia o diventare una repubblica? Che Cos'è un Referendum Questo tipo di votazione si chiama referendum, e in italiano si pronuncia proprio come si scrive: re-fe-rén-dum. È una parola latina che significa letteralmente "cose da riferire", cioè "cose da chiedere al popolo". I Risultati del Voto La Repubblica vince con circa il 54% dei voti, contro il 46% della monarchia. Non un trionfo schiacciante, ma una vittoria chiara: circa 12,7 milioni di voti contro 10,7 milioni. OpzionePercentualeVotiRepubblicaCirca 54%≈ 12,7 milioniMonarchiaCirca 46%≈ 10,7 milioni Il 13 giugno 1946 Umberto II lascia l'Italia e parte in esilio per il Portogallo, dove si stabilirà nella cittadina di Cascais e dove vivrà fino alla morte, senza mai più rimettere piede in Italia. Suo padre Vittorio Emanuele III, invece, era già andato in esilio in Egitto subito dopo l'abdicazione di maggio. Curiosità: Umberto II è stato re per soli 34 giorni. Proprio per questo viene ricordato con il soprannome di "il Re di Maggio". Un'Italia Spaccata in Due Il voto rivelò un'Italia divisa geograficamente. Il Nord votò massicciamente per la Repubblica, mentre il Sud preferì la monarchia. A Napoli, addirittura, la monarchia prese quasi l'80% dei voti. Da quel giorno nacque anche la famosa espressione "Regno del Sud", usata scherzosamente per indicare le regioni meridionali più affezionate alla corona. La Grande Novità: le Donne Votano alle Elezioni Politiche C'è un aspetto fondamentale che spesso viene dimenticato: il 2 giugno 1946 è stata la prima volta nella storia d'Italia in cui le donne hanno potuto votare in un'elezione nazionale e politica. Quasi un Secolo Senza Diritto di Voto Per quasi un secolo dall'Unità d'Italia, le donne italiane non avevano avuto diritto di voto: metà della popolazione non poteva decidere nulla del proprio Paese. In realtà, le donne italiane avevano già votato qualche mese prima, il 10 marzo 1946, ma alle elezioni amministrative, cioè per scegliere i sindaci dei loro comuni. Il 2 giugno, però, fu la prima volta che parteciparono a una consultazione nazionale. E parteciparono in massa: circa 13 milioni di donne andarono a votare. Per scoprire le figure femminili che hanno segnato la storia del Paese, puoi leggere la guida sulle donne italiane importanti. La Curiosità del Rossetto In vista del voto, alle donne fu raccomandato di non mettere il rossetto. Il motivo? La scheda elettorale doveva essere chiusa con la saliva, un po' come si fa con le buste delle lettere. Le autorità temevano che il rossetto potesse lasciare tracce sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida. Il Corriere della Sera pubblicò addirittura un articolo intitolato "Senza rossetto nella cabina elettorale", consigliando alle donne di portare con sé il rossetto e di metterlo solo dopo aver votato. Come Si Festeggia Oggi il 2 Giugno Il 2 giugno in Italia è festa nazionale: scuole chiuse, uffici chiusi, e molte persone ne approfittano per fare un ponte. Questa giornata è strettamente legata al funzionamento delle istituzioni: per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida sul sistema politico italiano. Vocabolario utile: "fare un ponte" non significa costruire un ponte, ma collegare un giorno festivo al weekend per prendersi più giorni di vacanza. Per esempio: "Il 2 giugno è di mercoledì? Allora prendo le ferie giovedì e venerdì e mi faccio un ponte fino a domenica!". La Parata Militare ai Fori Imperiali L'evento più importante si svolge a Roma, lungo i Fori Imperiali. C'è una grande parata militare alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica, dei membri del Governo e di tante autorità. Sfilano i militari, i carabinieri, la polizia, i vigili del fuoco e la protezione civile. Le Frecce Tricolori Il momento più spettacolare e fotografato è quello delle Frecce Tricolori: aerei militari che disegnano nel cielo le tre strisce della bandiera italiana, verde, bianca e rossa. Inoltre, quel giorno è possibile visitare gratuitamente i Giardini del Quirinale, cioè i giardini della residenza ufficiale del Presidente della Repubblica. Un'occasione unica, perché di solito sono chiusi al pubblico. Per altre informazioni di questo tipo, puoi consultare la guida sulle curiosità sull'Italia.

Si celebra la Festa della Repubblica, che ricorda il referendum del 2 giugno 1946 con cui gli italiani scelsero di trasformare l'Italia da monarchia a repubblica. Chi È Stato l'Ultimo Re d'Italia? L'ultimo re d'Italia è stato Umberto II, soprannominato "il Re di Maggio" perché regnò per soli 34 giorni. Dopo il referendum andò in esilio in Portogallo, dove visse fino alla morte. È Vero che le Donne Votarono per la Prima Volta il 2 Giugno 1946? Per quanto riguarda le elezioni nazionali, sì: il 2 giugno 1946 fu la prima volta. Le donne italiane avevano però già votato il 10 marzo 1946 alle elezioni amministrative locali, per scegliere i sindaci dei comuni. Perché alle Donne Fu Consigliato di Non Mettere il Rossetto? Perché la scheda elettorale andava chiusa con la saliva. Il rossetto avrebbe potuto lasciare un segno sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida.

Bram Kanstein returns to The Bitcoin Matrix. He's spent over three thousand hours studying money. He hosts Bitcoin for Millennials — now expanding into Freedom for Millennials — and writes essays connecting fiat money to consciousness, attention, and the design of modern life. This conversation picks up where his first appearance left off. Once you've truly understood Bitcoin — what comes next? Bram's answer is that the orange pill is just the entry point. The real work is what happens after: noticing the bandwidth tax that costs you 13 IQ points before you've even started thinking, recognizing Bitcoin as "engineered truth" — the only economic anchor we can verify is the same in both our heads — and naming the spiritual crime of a money system designed to keep your attention off the things that actually matter. He's also organizing a Bitcoin-and-psychedelics gathering in Colorado, has just published Bitcoin for Millennials (his book, built from his first 100 episodes), and brings Michelangelo's Florence — 279 years under hard money — into the room as evidence for what humans build when the unit of account doesn't betray them. If you've ever wondered why everyone around you who saw the same chart didn't see the same world — this is the conversation to send them. We discuss: The bandwidth tax — Mullainathan & Shafir's research showing financial worry costs you ~13 IQ points before you've even started thinking, and how fiat is engineered to keep that tax running Bitcoin as an economic psychedelic (Yoni Appleberg's frame) — the dissolution of inherited financial assumptions and what comes back online once the orange pill metabolizes Bitcoin as engineered truth — the orange shirt thought experiment, the map-and-territory problem, and why a verifiable monetary anchor changes consciousness, not just portfolios Michelangelo, the Medici, and the Florin — what 279 years of hard money built, and what our era can't, in Bram's reading of why long-arc human work has collapsed into the bandwidth tax economy Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━
