Welcome to the first episode of the Summer Protein Sparing Modified Fasting Series on the Optimal Protein Podcast. In this episode, Vanessa introduces the science, history, and practical application of protein sparing modified fasting, or PSMF, as a powerful tool for fat loss and body recomposition. Check out the Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting Library at ketogenicgirl.com and use code VANESSA for 20% off. Vanessa explains how PSMF was originally developed to help preserve lean body mass during severe energy restriction, why it differs from water fasting or traditional low-calorie dieting, and how prioritizing protein can help support satiety, fat loss, and muscle retention. This episode also explores the origins of PSMF with Dr. George Blackburn and Dr. Bruce Bistrian, its use in bariatric and physique-prep settings, and why strategic high-protein, lower-calorie days may be especially helpful for those who want to lose fat while protecting hard-earned muscle. You'll learn what a PSMF day can look like in practice, including protein targets, calorie ranges, lean protein choices, and how to combine PSMF days with maintenance days for a more sustainable approach. In this episode, Vanessa covers: What protein sparing modified fasting is Why preserving lean mass matters during fat loss How PSMF differs from water fasting The history of PSMF and its clinical origins Why protein supports satiety and metabolic rate How PSMF may support rapid fat loss without sacrificing muscle Practical meal structure, macros, and food examples Why resistance training is key for body recomposition Who PSMF may and may not be appropriate for Summer PSMF Series Re-Release Note: This episode was previously released on the Optimal Protein Podcast and is being re-released as part of the Summer Protein Sparing Modified Fasting Series.

We're kicking off our new retrospective series, John Carpenter: The Shape of Dread, with a two-part look at ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. This week, we examine the early life and formative influences of John Carpenter, tracking his upbringing and his time at the University of Southern California before he jumped into his second feature assignment. We break down the initial development of the script and how Carpenter adapted classic Western tropes for a contemporary, urban landscape. We also follow the production timeline through the logistics of securing financing and assembling the essential cast and crew, including the casting of Austin Stoker and Darwin Joston. Part 2 drops next week, covering the chaotic shoot and the film's enduring legacy.
Longtime friend and cosmic collaborator on such works as 1997's "Thorny Path" and 2024's "Rising Phoenix" Erik Shumpert, and his twin brother Paul first met Snarb in the early 1980s, and would soon all move in together in a tiny, historic abode on Brooks St. in LA county where Barnes had been laying down some of Amps For Christ's earlier works like "Plains Of Alluvial," and "Beggars Garden." Influenced by the West Coast punk explosion, Thorn takes us through the melodic memories of Claremont's thriving community of creative culture, catching some of the most influential acts of the Hardcore/Punk scene, recording the infamous track "Pain Of The Fire," and receiving spiritual schooling from Barnes and his unique universe of electronic ecstasy.
Rico Abreu led every lap at Eagle while most of the High Limit regulars had a night to forget, and the championship standings look completely different this morning. We break down what went wrong for the favorites, why a familiar blue oval logo quietly appeared on a sprint car last night, and what it all means heading into a pivotal stretch.
A single crash may have blown the World of Outlaws championship wide open, and a tiny Pennsylvania race track might be fighting for its survival against complaints from a neighbor. We cover it all, plus talk Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora, High Limit, and more.
Brent Marks suddenly has the speed he's been missing all year. But outside of his sprint car's wrap, have things changed? We've got the answers, plus sprint car crew chief changes, early action at Eldora, and more.

This week on Cinema Shock, we're beginning our deep dive into the master of genre cinema with John Carpenter: The Shape of Dread. To set the stage, we're throwing it back to an episode from April 2021, where we originally analyzed DARK STAR through the lens of its co-writer, special effects designer, and lead actor, Dan O'Bannon. We're dissecting the brilliant, low-budget ingenuity required to get this movie off the ground, analyzing how Carpenter's atmospheric scoring and structural pacing first mixed with O'Bannon's cynical, comedic sensibilities. We explore the film's unique legacy — a bridge between the utopian sci-fi of the late 60s and the gritty, blue-collar cosmic dread that would define the late 70s. Join us as we look back at the origins of a legendary cinematic partnership, the absurdity of the "Thermostellar Bomb," and the very beginning of John Carpenter's filmography.
A 13-year-old racer lost control, left the track, and landed upside down in a river — and the photos are unbelievable. Plus, Tanner Thorson did something you almost never see in racing, and Dream week at Eldora is here with 87 cars and one driver chasing history.

"The recording I worked with was from a Ka Faroshi carpet store in Kabul. This consisted of several people chatting in a carpet shop in some language/dialect of Afghanistan. I do not speak the language so picked part of a conversation spoken between 3 men with different pitched voices. I have no idea what they are saying. I hope it's not rude. "I formed a repeating pattern of this phrase transformed using comb filtering. Modified sounds of carpet tape and other physical sounds were interjected to add drama. Allusions to hiding in caves could be inferred. The piece ends with an evol treatment of the modified crackling sound."Kabul carpet store reimagined by Alison Beattie.

Are you stuck in a cycle of inflammation with no clear answers? Autoimmune conditions can be confusing, frustrating, slow to diagnose, and sometimes take years to understand. In this episode, I am chatting with Mickey Trescott, a leading expert on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), about her decade of research and personal experience managing autoimmune disease. We talk about the modified AIP, exploring why it isn't just a diet but a structured healing process. Mickey also shares insights from clinical studies on IBD, Hashimoto's, and psoriasis, and explains how elimination and reintroduction phases help people discover their personal triggers. You'll learn how to approach food as medicine, adapt the protocol to your lifestyle, and reintroduce foods safely. Plus, Mickey offers simple tips to help you calm inflammation, restore gut balance, and finally feel empowered in your autoimmune journey. "There is no cure for autoimmune disease, but I really believe that we can manage and live well with it." ~ Mickey Trescott In This Episode: - How AIP differs from traditional elimination diets - The real goal of the AIP diet - Clinical results from AIP studies - Modified vs core autoimmune protocol - Food sensitivity testing explained - Delayed reactions and cross-reactivity - Mickey's autoimmune flare story - The New Autoimmune Protocol book overview Products & Resources Mentioned: Mickey's Books on Autoimmune Wellness: Pre-order The New Autoimmune Protocol book and buy other books on Autoimmune Protocol at https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/books/#naip Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Mickey Trescott: Mickey Trescott, MSc, is a leading advocate of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

Have you ever wondered if what you eat is making your Hashimoto's worse — or if changing your diet could actually make a real difference? If you've heard of the AIP diet but felt overwhelmed, confused about where to start, or worried it meant giving up food you love forever, this episode is for you. The modified AIP diet Hashimoto's patients are using today looks very different from what it was 15 years ago — and the research behind it is finally catching up. In this episode, Esther sits down with Mickey Trescott, functional nutrition expert, Hashimoto's patient, and author of the brand new book The New Autoimmune Protocol. Mickey shares how AIP has evolved from a single sentence in functional medicine circles into a research-backed, two-phase protocol with human studies to support it — including two studies specific to Hashimoto's. In this episode, you'll learn: Why AIP is a tool and a process, not a permanent diet — and what it's actually designed to do What modified AIP is, how it differs from core AIP, and why it may be more realistic for your real life Why preparation matters more than the diet itself, and the two exercises Mickey uses to set people up for success before they change a single thing they eat Hit play and find out if the modified AIP diet might be the missing piece in your Hashimoto's strategy.

A "heretical" alternative to dark matter is MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), proposed by Mordehai Milgrom. Milgrom suggests that dark matter may not exist; instead, our current laws of gravity might be incorrect at galactic scales. MOND successfully explains galaxy rotation curves without requiring unseen matter, which remains a "worry" for traditional physicists. However, most cosmologists rely on gravitational lensing to map dark matter distribution. A key test is the Bullet Cluster, where two galaxy clusters are merging. Observations suggest mass is separated from visible gas, which initially seemed to refute MOND, though proponents still refine their theories. Future instruments, such as the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile, aim to provide the sensitivity needed to finally confirm the properties of dark matter or prove if modified gravity is the true answer.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow tells the story of a modified 1994 Corvette that came in with a hesitation, backfire, and cut-out concern under light-load highway driving. The vehicle had already been looked at elsewhere, and the customer believed the problem was inside the PCM. What sounded at first like a computer problem eventually turned into a lesson in secondary ignition leakage, diagnostic assumptions, customer expectations, and the danger of two people using the same words to mean very different things.The episode starts with the question, “Can you test my computer?” Matt interpreted that as a request to diagnose why the vehicle was not running correctly. The customer meant something much more literal: open the PCM, test it on a bench, and determine what had failed inside the module. That misunderstanding created real tension once Matt found evidence pointing away from the computer and toward the ignition system.Technically, the case had plenty of reasons to look complicated. The Corvette was a 1994 OBD-I vehicle with an OBD-II-style connector, an aftermarket tune, a DTC 42 related to electronic spark timing, and an OptiSpark distributor system. Matt considered scan-tool access, PCM powers and grounds, tune corruption, OptiSpark signals, and even inspected the PCM itself. But the actual fix was far more ordinary: spark plugs and plug wires. A light mist of water exposed secondary ignition leakage, with arcing visible around the plug wires and spark plug area.The larger point of the story is not just that simple failures can hide behind complicated symptoms. It is that assumptions can create their own problems. The customer had one expectation. The shop had another. Nobody was necessarily acting in bad faith, but the mismatch still led to frustration, anger, and a near breakdown in trust. Matt reflects on how one better question at the beginning, “What do you mean when you say test the computer?” could have changed the entire interaction.Topics DiscussedDiagnosing a modified 1994 CorvetteOBD-I vehicles with OBD-II-style connectorsDTC 42 and electronic spark timingOptiSpark diagnostic considerationsAftermarket tuning and corrupt tune concernsPCM inspection and module-level testing limitationsSecondary ignition leakageSpark plug and plug wire failuresHow modified vehicles can bias diagnostic thinkingWhy customer language needs clarificationThe difference between testing a system and testing a moduleManaging expectations before diagnostic work beginsHonest misunderstandings between shops and customersKey Takeaways“Can you test my computer?” may mean very different things depending on who is asking.A vehicle that looks complicated can still have a basic failure.Modified vehicles can make it harder to avoid diagnostic bias.Customer frustration is not always about the repair itself. Sometimes it is about expectations that were never clarified.Asking one more question up front can prevent a major communication problem later.Not every misunderstanding needs a villain. Sometimes both sides are operating from different definitions.Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?
