Today's Headlines: The Iran war's bill just got a lot bigger — the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion, on top of the $12 billion already spent, while Trump insists he's "not putting troops anywhere" in a statement that inspired exactly zero confidence. Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field — the largest natural gas field in the world, shared by Iran and Qatar — damaging Qatari energy infrastructure, hitting an American F-35, and triggering retaliatory Iranian strikes across the region. Trump posted that the U.S. "knew nothing" about the attack, Israel immediately said that wasn't true, then Trump said he'd actually warned them not to do it — so he did know — and then threatened to blow up the entire gas field himself if Iran touches Qatar. Oil and gas prices climbed further, the stock market dropped, and seven allies — the UK, Japan, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, and one more — announced they'd help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump accepted graciously by screaming in all caps that he doesn't need anyone's help. Also, Trump told Japan's prime minister "who knows better about surprise than Japan, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor" — an actual thing he said out loud. Elsewhere in global chaos: Hungary's Viktor Orban blocked a $100 billion EU loan to Ukraine, potentially threatening the country's ability to keep its government running. Canada announced it's building its own sovereign space program to reduce dependence on Starlink. Two Iranian citizens were charged in the UK with spying on Jewish institutions on behalf of Iranian intelligence. And in one of the most cold-blooded moves yet, the U.S. State Department is reportedly considering withholding HIV medication from 1.3 million people in Zambia as leverage to extract a minerals deal — because apparently that's a negotiating tactic now. Markwayne Mullin's DHS nomination cleared committee 8-7, with Rand Paul voting no and John Fetterman voting yes, because nothing means anything anymore. Full Senate vote is next, outcome predictable.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." 

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TONIGHT: Charles Burton. Charles Burton explores Canada's vast rare earth resources and the extraction challenges. He examines whether Canada will allow U.S. investment to end the dangerous practice of sending these minerals to China for processing. (2)1910 ORDER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE EMPIRE

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

The Arctic is emerging as a new front in the global competition over strategic minerals, raising questions about how the supply chains behind the energy transition will be governed. --- In recent months, Arctic resources have moved to the center of geopolitical debate. President Trump has publicly proposed that the United States take control of Greenland, citing its strategic location and mineral wealth, while leaders in Denmark and Greenland have rejected the proposal. The dispute comes at a time when critical minerals are becoming central to the global energy transition. Electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and advanced technologies all depend on them. Yet much of the world’s refining and processing capacity is concentrated in a small number of countries, most prominently China. That concentration has intensified concerns about how geopolitical rivalry could shape access to the materials that underpin the transition to cleaner energy. Saleem Ali, Professor of Energy and the Environment at the University of Delaware and a leading voice on mineral diplomacy, discusses where frontier resources, in the Arctic and beyond, fit into this evolving landscape. He assesses whether emerging resource frontiers can meaningfully rebalance global mineral supply chains, or whether their importance has been overstated. Ali also discusses a proposal for a governance framework, a Global Minerals Trust, designed to reduce resource nationalism and prevent critical minerals from becoming instruments of geopolitical leverage. He examines whether cooperation is realistic in a period of growing competition for strategic resources. Saleem Ali is the Blue and Gold Distinguished Professor of Energy and the Environment at the University of Delaware.

Chad Peters of Ridgeline Minerals joins MSD today to provide his comments on this morning's new drill results from the Chinchilla Sulfide CRD discovery at the Selena Project in Nevada. Core hole SE25-054 was a 700 meter step-out northeast of discovery hole SE25-053 and intersected an "upper" oxide mineralized intercept of 3.1m grading 86.5 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.3% zinc ("Zn"), 3.8% lead ("Pb), 2.9 g/t gold ("Au"), and 0.07% antimony ("Sb") (353.1 g/t AgEq or 14.7% ZnEq).

Interview with Paul Ténière, CEO of Lafleur Minerals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lafleur-minerals-cselflr-from-pea-to-production-a-12-month-gold-timeline-8402Recording date: 10th March 2026Lafleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) is positioning itself as a near-term gold producer in Quebec's Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, targeting production by the end of 2026 through its Swanson deposit and Beacon Mill. The company's recently released Preliminary Economic Assessment demonstrates robust economics with a $101 million NPV and 65% internal rate of return at a conservative $2,750 per ounce gold price, while maintaining all-in sustaining costs of $1,569 per ounce over a seven-year mine life.The project's accelerated timeline stems from significant existing infrastructure advantages. The Beacon Mill, recently refurbished and currently being recommissioned, has a nameplate capacity of 750 tonnes per day with near-term expansion potential to 1,250 tonnes per day. The Swanson deposit sits on an existing mining lease, substantially reducing permitting timelines that typically plague greenfield projects. With initial capital requirements of approximately $30 million Canadian, the company is evaluating multiple financing pathways including offtake agreements, equity raises, and potential merger scenarios.Lafleur currently reports just over 200,000 ounces in combined indicated and inferred categories, representing a 30% increase from previous estimates. Management targets reaching one million ounces through depth extensions beyond the historical 350-meter drilling limit and advancement of satellite deposits including Bartec and Jolin. The company's drilling programs have identified continued mineralization between 350 and 500 meters depth, consistent with typical Abitibi geology.Beyond standalone production, Lafleur is pursuing a hub-and-spoke model with Beacon serving as a regional processing center. As major producers have shifted focus toward feeding their own mills, third-party processing capacity has tightened across the district. This creates opportunity for mid-tier processors like Lafleur to capture value through custom milling while justifying future mill expansions to 3,000-4,000 tonnes per day. The strategy positions the company as both a producer and regional infrastructure provider in one of Canada's most prolific gold districts.View Lafleur Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lafleur-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, shifts the discussion beyond cholesterol and statins to “hidden” cardiovascular risks from insufficient vitamin K and folate intake. Citing Cleveland Clinic and other research, she notes a high prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in the U.S. and widespread inadequate folate intake globally, including low folate levels among women of reproductive age. She explains that vitamin K2 may help inhibit arterial and soft-tissue calcification via activation of matrix GLA protein, with studies linking higher K2 (MK-7) intake to lower coronary heart disease risk and slowed coronary artery calcification. Folate supports vascular function through homocysteine metabolism, with evidence associating higher folate intake with lower cardiovascular mortality, emphasizing active 5-MTHF over folic acid due to conversion limitations in many people. She also notes statins can downregulate vitamin K metabolism and encourages discussing risks, benefits, and supplements with a doctor.

In this episode of Wild & Waking, Emily sits down with Hope Pedraza, a functional wellness practitioner who works at the intersection of science, energetics, and embodied healing. Together, they explore why burnout isn't a personal failure or a productivity problem, it's a signal that old paradigms of success, worth, and wellness are no longer sustainable. This conversation is a powerful invitation to reimagine healing through the lens of worthiness, nervous system regulation, and inner authority.Hope shares her integrative approach to functional wellness, weaving together mineral balancing, nervous system healing, Human Design, subconscious work, and frequency medicine to help high-achieving women restore energy and vitality. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, she explains how burnout often stems from deeper emotional and energetic roots, especially the worthiness wound that conditions women to tie their value to productivity, overgiving, and constant doing.This conversation is for the woman who feels exhausted but deeply self-aware, who knows something is off even when labs look “normal,” and who is ready to listen to her body as the final authority. If you're navigating burnout, identity shifts, or the next evolution of your leadership, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive look at what functional wellness can become when science, energetics, and self-trust meet.In this episode, we explore:Why burnout isn't a hormone problem, productivity issue, or personal failure — but a signal that old paradigms of success and self-worth are no longer sustainableHow tying your worth to productivity impacts the nervous system, hormones, energy levels, and long-term healthThe role of the nervous system in burnout, chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and feeling “off” even when labs look normalWhy cultivating safety around rest is foundational to healing — and why rest often doesn't feel safe for driven womenWhy minerals are a foundational missing link in both conventional and holistic approaches to burnout recoveryThe connection between emotional stress, subconscious patterns, and physical symptoms in the bodyHow Human Design helps women understand their natural energy patterns, boundaries, and inner authorityWhy living out of alignment with your design contributes to burnout, depletion, and nervous system dysregulationHow subconscious reprogramming, hypnotherapy, EFT, and parts work support nervous system healingWhy intellectualizing healing often isn't enough — and what it takes to create real integrationWhat functional wellness looks like when science, energetics, and embodiment are woven togetherWhy healing often requires an identity shift — and the grief that can come with releasing who you used to beHow listening to the body as the final authority changes the way we approach health, leadership, and lifeBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Hope Pedraza:If this conversation resonated and you're curious about working with Hope or exploring her work more deeply, you can connect with her in the following ways:Website: hopefulandwholesome.comInstagram: @thehopepedrazaFacebook: @thehopepedrazaYouTube: @hopepedrazaPodcast: Hopeful and WholesomeBook a Discovery CallConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 158 | You Are Nature: Reclaiming Your Rhythm Through the Sacred Cycles of Body, Moon & EarthSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona.

Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona, details improving senior care beyond “warehousing.” Cranmer describes his path from Air Force pilot to assisted living operator and explains changes he implemented over 12 years, emphasizing meaningful exercise (walks, strength training, yoga, multitasking drills) and an “exercise with oxygen therapy” bike. He highlights excessive polypharmacy in seniors and advocates deprescribing, supplement and hormone support when medically ordered, and avoiding sedating drugs used as chemical restraints. Cranmer details a low-glycemic, low-carbohydrate, ketosis-oriented nutrition approach inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen, reporting significant weight loss and diabetes medication reduction in residents. He discusses COVID practices that preserved family contact and outdoor time, reporting no COVID deaths in his homes, and describes cognitive training via one-on-one Zoom-based brain exercises and personalized memory games.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author, has cutting edge strategies for improving sleep. He emphasizes circadian rhythms, time changes, and jet lag. He details reducing stress and “FOMO” from news and social media, prioritizing sleep by cutting nonessential activities, and the health risks of short sleep, including increased heart attack risk, obesity risk, and impaired immunity, plus the role of deep sleep and the glymphatic system. Teitelbaum recommends a dark, cool room, limiting blue light (eye masks, warm/yellow lighting), bedtime routines, sustained-release melatonin, chamomile tea, herbal blends, lavender, magnesium, and addressing issues like sleep apnea (including positional strategies), restless legs (ferritin testing, iron, magnesium), nocturnal hypoglycemia (protein snacks, phosphatidylserine), reflux (bicarbonate, bed elevation), and selective low-dose medications when needed. They also cover daylight saving time adjustment and travel strategies such as shifting schedules, melatonin timing, hydration, and morning light exposure.

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

Send a textIf you've been feeling puffy, stiff, foggy, or heavier than you think you should be — and nothing you've tried has actually fixed it — this episode is for you.Every spring, the wellness world tells you to cleanse. Detox. Reset. Restrict.But what if what you're experiencing isn't toxicity?What if it's fluid physiology?In this episode, I walk you through the five fluid systems that govern how your body feels on a daily basis — the lymphatic system, interstitial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid (glymphatic clearance), mucosal hydration, and fascia — and explain:• What each system actually does• Why these systems slow down in winter• What that slowdown feels like in your bodyIf you wake up congested, puffy, stiff, bloated, or foggy — this will make sense.Then we look at the five main drivers of fluid stagnation:Mineral imbalanceWhy sodium, potassium, and magnesium regulate fluid movement at the cellular level — and why drinking more water alone doesn't fix tissue swelling.Sluggish gut motilityHow transit time, microbiome shifts, and inflammatory load directly affect lymphatic flow and whole-body fluid balance.Chronic sympathetic activationThe specific mechanisms through which stress disrupts lymph drainage, mineral balance, gut function, and fascial tone.Fascial guardingHow low-grade inflammation creates a self-reinforcing loop of compression and stagnation.Winter biologyWhy feeling slow and heavy at the end of winter is seasonal physiology — not personal failure.And finally, we shift the frame.Your body isn't toxic. It's tired.There is a difference between cleansing and refining — between subtracting from a depleted system and restoring the conditions that allow it to function.This episode is about understanding those conditions.If it resonates, I also share details about Minerals & Microbes, my four-month program focused on restoring mineral terrain, rebuilding gut function, regulating the nervous system, and addressing the root causes of chronic stagnation.Spring is for preparation, not punishment.Listen now — and if it lands, share it with someone who's considering a spring cleanse.Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly.”

Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

In this episode, we clear up common misconceptions about hormone decline and menopause, explaining why these changes happen gradually over years, not overnight. Learn about the importance of pancreatic health in blood sugar regulation and why balanced meals with protein, plants, and muscle building activity are your best tools for hormone and metabolic health. We also discuss the critical role of animal based nutrients during pregnancy and why overly restrictive diets can disrupt hormone balance, especially in women. Whether you are managing menopause, aiming for fertility, or seeking lasting energy and brain clarity, this episode offers practical, gentle strategies to help you thrive naturally.

Minerals are the spark plugs of the body. They are essential for proper digestion, hormone function and clear thinking. If you don't have adequate minerals, you may struggle with fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and more. Nina-Marie Rueda, a naturopathic doctor who focuses on perinatal and pediatric health, offers today a quick guide for identifying and addressing mineral deficiencies. She goes over the "four lows" – common issues that arise when our bodies are low on calcium, sodium, potassium or magnesium. She explains what specific foods can address these deficiencies, like bananas for magnesium and clams and coconut water for potassium. She shares the number one mineral that is not addressed well by most prenatal vitamins. And she even offers a medicinal herbal tea recipe that supports women in the perinatal stage and every stage.
