This week on this Monday's Choosing Happy Podcast, Heather V Masters busts one of the trickiest myths in personal growth and entrepreneurship: the idea that “experts,” authority figures, or even well-meaning loved ones know what's best for us. With warmth, vulnerability, and her trademark British wit (yes, there's a bit about the dog's pension!), Heather shares how taking someone else's advice once landed her in court—and why, when things go pear-shaped, it's always you left picking up the pieces.What's Inside:The problem with outsourcing our decision-making—even to “experts,” officials, or familyHeather's honest story about following her father's advice (and living with the fallout)Lessons in discernment, boundaries, and listening to your own gutThe ultimate truth: we are responsible for our own choices and resultsA gentle, practical challenge to help you trust your instincts this weekBonus: Relatable laughs, the chaos of village fêtes, and—of course—the fate of the dog's pensionTakeaway:Next time someone tries to steer your ship (no matter their title or relationship), pause. Is this right for you, or just comfortable for them? Remember: you're the captain. Own your choices—and your results.In a world full of advice, remember that your life's path is uniquely yours, not a group project.Every so-called expert is just a human navigating their own challenges, so trust your instincts first.When advice makes your stomach twist, that's your inner wisdom nudging you to pause and reflect.It's perfectly okay to listen to others, but your choices should always be driven by your own heart.The choices we make and the results that follow are ours alone, so embrace that responsibility.Next time someone tries to steer your ship, ask if their advice fits you or just makes their life easier.Chapters:00:12 - The Challenge of Trusting Others01:06 - Navigating Advice and Personal Decisions03:34 - The Turning Point: Reclaiming Control04:00 - Lessons on Personal Empowerment05:49 - Taking Control of Your Choices07:12 - Closing Remarks and Next StepsLet's Connect:Subscribe, rate, and review the show.

In this episode of Christian Book Blurb, host Matt McChlery speaks with author Jared Brock about his book 'A Devil Named Lucifer.' They explore the misconceptions surrounding the devil, the nature of evil, and the importance of free will in understanding sin. Brock emphasizes the need to strip away cultural assumptions about the devil and focus on biblical truths. The conversation also delves into the concept of hell, Satan's strategies, and the author's future projects, including a focus on Christian economics.

The devil is a minor character in the grand narrative of God's story. Evil is a result of human free will, not solely the devil's influence. Cultural images of the devil are largely post-biblical and not scripturally based. The lake of fire was created for the devil, not for humans. Satan's appearances in the Bible are infrequent and often misinterpreted. Free will is essential for genuine love and obedience to God. Temptation can be seen as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Avoiding temptation is a practical strategy for Christians. Brock's future work focuses on Christian economics and its implications for society. Sound Bites "The devil is a tiny part of God's big story." "The devil cannot make you do anything." "Avoid temptation as much as possible."

Welcome to a powerfully transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, hosted by Wize El Jefe, featuring high-voltage mindset engineer and hypnotherapist, AD Roberts. In this profound and deeply motivating conversation, Wize welcomes AD Roberts to discuss what it really means to “crack the abundance code” and blueprint your way out of lack and scarcity, into empowered, conscious expansion and authentic wealth. From Rock Bottom to Quantum Breakthroughs AD Roberts opens up about his journey to success, starting young in real estate and finance, making boatloads of money—then losing it all in the 2008 financial collapse. Raw and honest, AD shares how losing everything forced him to rebuild, not just financially but on a deep psychological, spiritual, and energetic level. What pulled him out? Unshakable faith in the mind's power and an understanding of the quantum nature of reality. He reveals that the true currency in life is your mindset, and the energetic frequency you hold. The Science of Abundance: Neuroplasticity Meets Quantum Field Delving into the intersection of neuroscience and energetics, AD explains how neuroplasticity (the brain's wiring) and subconscious beliefs determine 95% of your reality. He breaks down how we move through life on autopilot, repeating patterns embedded deep in our subconscious since childhood. Whether it's beliefs about money (“money doesn't grow on trees,” “you have to grind to get rich,” “chase the bag”) or fears about scarcity, these narratives shape both our actions and what we attract. AD reveals practical secrets to rewiring your mind for wealth: upgrading your inner programming, aligning with your wealthy identity, and understanding that manifestation isn't about chasing—it's about magnetizing abundance through vibration and identity. The Origin of the Abundance Archetypes One of the episode's key highlights is AD's story behind developing the “Abundance Archetypes” found in his book, Cracking the Abundance Code. After working with countless clients—from C-suite executives to professional athletes—AD noticed universal limiting beliefs blocking abundance. To help people identify and overcome these blocks, he and his team created the Wealth Assessment, which gives each person a score and matches them to an archetype (e.g., Flow Alchemist, Blocked Builder). This system provides a personalized map to uncovering and transcending subconscious roadblocks. Hypnosis for Success: How to Literally Rewire Your Brain Ever wondered how hypnosis works in wealth transformation? AD demystifies hypnosis, likening it to the natural trance state we experience every day (like driving and suddenly realizing you've arrived). By slowing the brain's cycles, hypnosis unlocks the subconscious, allowing new empowering beliefs to take root—allowing you to shift from a “scarcity” operating system to one of abundance. He discusses the process, the science, and what clients actually feel during a session—and shares that real freedom is being abundance, not just chasing it. Redefining Wealth: It's Personal What does a “wealthy identity” really look and feel like? According to AD, it's not a one-size-fits-all template. Wealth for him means time freedom, health, flexibility, and the joy of impacting others—while for someone else it might be land, creativity, or family. He emphasizes that authentic abundance always stems from one's unique passions and the highest version of themselves. AD and Wize dive into purpose, with moving stories about discovering their true calling later in life, and the immense joy that comes from serving others. The wisdom here is universal: your life changes when you find the passion that lights you up—work becomes play, and abundance begins to flow. Words, Frequency, and the Quantum Field The power of language is another central theme. AD explains how every word you speak emits a vibrational signature that the quantum field mirrors back to you. Whether you choose words of faith or fear, hope or lack, you are literally scripting the next chapter of your reality. The episode is packed with actionable examples and inspirational reframes to help you shift into abundance mode—now. Action Steps for Listeners Ready to Shift If you're stuck in a scarcity mindset, AD lays out the first crucial steps: take a personal assessment, identify your own subconscious blocks, and use daily rituals like meditation, journaling, and affirmations to rewire your frequency. He emphasizes the importance of regular mental “cleansing”—just as you shower daily to remove dirt, daily mindset work keeps you energetically fresh and ready to receive abundance. Myth-Busting and Radical Truths AD shoots down common abundance myths, most notably the idea that relentless grind is the only way to success. He introduces the “Law of Least Effort”—that when you're energetically aligned and open to receive, abundance flows with synchronicity and grace. Accessing the System: How to Dive Deeper Throughout the episode, AD shares details about his Cracking the Abundance Code system, including the Wealth Assessment, his powerful 21-day program, and hypnosis tracks designed to help you quantum leap into your wealthy identity. He offers ways to connect further through retreats, one-on-one sessions, and daily TikTok lives—reminding listeners that transformation starts with one simple step of engagement. A Conversation That's a Wake-Up Call The energy between AD and Wize is electrifying—both men passionate about transformation, purpose, and uplifting others. Listeners are encouraged not just to listen, but to act: take the assessment, grab the book, and start reprogramming both thoughts and beliefs. The live interaction with listeners (shoutout to Tony!) reinforces the episode's core message—your journey from scarcity to abundance can ignite the same spark in others. Final Takeaway This isn't just a podcast episode—it's an invitation to look within, question your old stories, and choose a new reality. AD and Wize show that abundance isn't about luck, hustle, or background—it's about awareness, intentionality, and aligned action. By cracking your own abundance code, you step into a life of purpose, freedom, wealth, and deep fulfillment. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by scarcity, or just ready for your next leap, this episode is your blueprint and energetic boost to take that first, bold step. Listen, share, and begin your own abundance journey today.

What if everything you thought you knew about why evangelical Christians became politically active was completely wrong? Today I sit down with one of America's greatest historians of religion, Randall Balmer, to do some serious myth-busting. We dive deep into what Balmer calls "the abortion myth" - the widely believed but false story that evangelicals mobilized politically in the 1970s over Roe v. Wade. The real origin story? It's much more uncomfortable - it was actually about defending racial segregation in Christian schools when the IRS threatened their tax-exempt status. Balmer takes us through this hidden history he discovered firsthand at a 1990 gathering of religious right leaders, where architect Paul Weyrich admitted abortion "had nothing to do with" their political mobilization. We trace how a religious community that once championed prison reform, women's rights, and abolition transformed into today's Christian nationalist movement, and explore what this means for the future of American religion. From Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump, from the Jesus movement to Project 2025, this conversation reveals how evangelicalism lost its prophetic voice and became, in Balmer's words, dangerously "worldly." It's a sobering but essential look at how we got here - and whether there's any hope for course correction. Randall Balmer is one of America's leading historians of religion and a prominent scholar of evangelicalism. A professor at Dartmouth College, Balmer grew up in the evangelical subculture as the son of a preacher before earning his PhD. Balmer is the author of numerous influential books, including Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right, God in the White House, and America's Best Idea: The Separation of Church and State.  UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The God of Justice: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Contemporary Longing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This transformative online class brings together distinguished scholars from biblical studies, theology, history, and faith leadership to offer exactly what our moment demands: the rich, textured wisdom of multiple academic disciplines speaking into our contemporary quest for justice.

You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  Today, we're diving into one of the most talked-about topics in health and weight loss right now: GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and the newer dual GIP/GLP-1s like tirzepatide. You've probably seen the headlines, scrolled past a few TikToks, or heard a friend mention it — but with all that noise comes a lot of confusion, half-truths, and flat-out myths. Today we're breaking it all down. What's real? What's hype? And what do you actually need to know if you're using these medications — or thinking about it? Let's separate science from scare tactics and get to the truth, one myth at a time. Myth #1: GLP-1s Cause Dangerous Muscle Loss The claim:  “GLP-1s cause massive muscle loss.” Truth: This is an overstatement. Some loss of lean mass is normal with any kind of weight loss — whether it's through diet, medication, or surgery. What studies show is that with medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound), about 20–25% of the total weight lost comes from lean mass, and the rest is fat — which is exactly what we're targeting in obesity treatment. That 20–25% figure isn't unique to these meds; it's actually pretty typical in weight loss without focused resistance training or optimized protein intake. You may also hear “You'll lose all your muscle and become frail on GLP-1s.” Truth: You won't “lose all your muscle.” In fact, muscle loss is preventable by maintaining adequate protein intake, resistance training, and managing weight loss pace. Furthermore, many patients gain strength and mobility as excess weight comes off. And lastly, my favorite myth is “You can't preserve muscle on GLP-1s.” Truth: That's completely false — muscle loss isn't inevitable on GLP-1s if you take the right approach. You can absolutely preserve muscle by making a few intentional choices: aim for enough protein each day (a good goal is around 0.8 grams per pound of body weight), include some strength or resistance training a couple times a week, and avoid losing weight too quickly. These simple steps go a long way in protecting your lean mass while still getting all the benefits of weight loss. One study on semaglutide showed that people lost an average of about 15% of their body weight, and only around 3–4% of that was lean mass. So if someone drops 30 pounds, maybe 6 to 8 of those pounds might be lean mass—not ideal, but definitely not disastrous either, and very manageable with the right lifestyle habits.  The truth is, while some lean mass loss is expected with any type of weight loss, research shows that most of the weight lost on GLP-1s is actually fat, not muscle. For example, in the STEP 1 trial, about 80% of the weight lost on semaglutide came from fat, and only about 20% from lean tissue (as we mentioned earlier).  The SURMOUNT-1 trial with tirzepatide showed similar results—significant fat loss with relatively preserved muscle, especially when paired with resistance training. And that's important, because preserving muscle during weight loss helps protect metabolism, strength, and overall health. With good nutrition and movement, GLP-1s can lead to healthier body composition—not just a lower number on the scale. Okay, moving along to the next myth … Myth #2: GLP-1s Can Cause Blindness The truth: This myth stems from concerns about diabetic retinopathy worsening, which is tied to how quickly blood sugar drops, not to the drug itself. In the SUSTAIN-6 trial (Marso et al., NEJM, 2016), a small subset of patients with pre-existing advanced diabetic retinopathy saw transient worsening—but only in those with rapid improvements in A1c. No increased rates of blindness or new-onset retinopathy have been found in non-diabetic patients using GLP-1s for weight loss. The bottom line is that those without advanced diabetic eye disease, there's no increased risk of blindness. Patients with diabetic retinopathy should be monitored closely—but this is about glycemic management, not a direct effect of the medication. Myth #3: GLP-1s Cause Kidney or Liver Damage The truth: This is false. In fact, GLP-1 agonists may protect kidney and liver function—especially in patients with diabetes or fatty liver disease. The most recent notable study showing kidney‑protective effects of a GLP‑1 receptor agonist is the FLOW trial, which evaluated semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This double‑blind, randomized, placebo‑controlled trial included 3,533 participants followed for a median of 3.4 years and found that semaglutide reduced the risk of major kidney‑related events—including kidney failure, substantial eGFR decline, and death from renal or cardiovascular causes—by 24% compared to placebo. A 2025 meta-analysis of multiple randomized controlled trials (11 studies, 85,373 participants) concluded that GLP‑1 receptor agonists reduced the risk of composite kidney failure outcomes by 18%, kidney failure by 16%, and all‑cause death by 12%. And let's not forget the SMART trial, involving obese patients with kidney disease but without diabetes, found that semaglutide protected kidney function in this non‑diabetic, CKD‑affected population.  When it comes to the liver, there's actually growing evidence they're actually helping reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The STEP 1 MRI substudy and SURPASS-3 MRI substudy have shown people on these medications can reduce liver fat by 30 to even 50% and in some cases, completely resolve liver inflammation — that more serious form called NASH, where fat is combined with inflammation and early scarring. The LEAN trial found that nearly 60% of people taking semaglutide had resolution of NASH, without worsening their liver scarring. That's huge. And even better, we're seeing these effects even in people who don't have diabetes. Just losing weight helps fatty liver, but these meds seem to do more than that — they actually target inflammation and fat storage in the liver itself.. The bottom line is GLP-1s are not nephrotoxic or hepatotoxic. In fact, they may be organ-protective—especially for people with underlying metabolic issues. Myth #4: These Drugs Lead to Bone Loss The claim: “You'll get osteoporosis from losing too much weight!” The truth: While extreme weight loss can affect bone density, GLP-1s themselves do not cause bone loss, and may even have neutral or protective effects on bone. A 2022 study in Bone found no significant change in BMD (bone mineral density) in adults treated with semaglutide for obesity. While the SUSTAIN and PIONEER programs found no increased risk of fractures in semaglutide-treated patients versus placebo. Truly, concerns about bone loss are more relevant in extreme calorie restriction or eating disorders—not evidence-based GLP-1 treatment with appropriate nutrition. Myth #5: Everyone Gets Gastroparesis The claim: “These medications paralyze your stomach” The truth: GLP-1s slow gastric emptying, which is part of how they work—making you feel full longer. But this is dose-dependent and typically reversible. A 2023 FDA safety review found that true gastroparesis is extremely rare and resolves when the drug is stopped. Reality check: Nausea, early satiety, and mild bloating are common but manageable side effects. True, lasting gastroparesis is not typical, especially when doses are titrated gradually. Myth #6: GLP-1s Make Your Hair Fall Out The claim: “You'll lose a ton of hair—just like with crash diets” The truth: Hair shedding is not directly caused by GLP-1 medications. Instead, it's often a temporary, non-scarring condition called telogen effluvium, which can happen with any rapid weight loss, regardless of the method. A 2023 analysis from the American Academy of Dermatology emphasized that telogen effluvium is common with surgical or medical weight loss, especially if patients lose more than 10% of their body weight within a few months. In clinical trials like STEP and SURMOUNT, hair loss was not listed as a common side effect, but patient-reported data show it occurs occasionally—likely tied to nutritional stress, not the drug itself. So why does hair loss happen? We've talked about this before, but I don't want to leave this important information out.  Hair follicles are sensitive to internal stress. Rapid changes in caloric intake, nutrient levels (like iron, zinc, and biotin), or hormone balance can push hairs into the shedding phase. This is a delayed effect, often showing up 2–3 months after weight loss begins, and it typically resolves within 6–12 months. What helps is slower, sustained weight loss, prioritizing protein intake, supplementing iron, zinc, and biotin if deficient, and avoiding very low-calorie diets and over-restriction. Myth #6: GLP-1s Cause Dehydration It's a common myth that GLP-1 medications cause dehydration — but that's not exactly true. The medication itself doesn't directly dehydrate you. What can happen is that some people experience nausea, vomiting, or a reduced appetite early on, which can lead to drinking less water without realizing it. That's where the dehydration risk comes in. A good general rule for staying hydrated is to aim for half your body weight in ounces of water per day. So, for example, if you weigh 160 pounds, try to drink around 80 ounces daily — more if you're active or live in a hot climate. Electrolytes can also be really helpful, especially if you're feeling tired, dizzy, or crampy. I like LMNT packets — they're a clean option with no sugar and a good balance of sodium, magnesium, and potassium. The sodium in LMNT packets helps keep you hydrated by pulling water into your cells and helping your body retain the fluids it needs to function properly. Just one a day can make a big difference in how you feel. Myth #7: You Have to Stay on GLP-1s Forever or You'll Gain All the Weight Back The claim: “As soon as you stop taking it, all the weight comes back” The truth: Yes—some weight regain is likely after stopping GLP-1 medications. But that doesn't mean they're ineffective or that you're doomed to rebound completely. The same pattern happens after any type of weight loss intervention, whether it's a diet, surgery, or medication. The STEP 4 trial (Wilding et al., 2022) showed that participants who stopped semaglutide after 20 weeks regained an average of 6% of their weight loss over the next year. But it's important to note that they still weighed less than at baseline—and many continued to experience improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity. Similarly, in SURMOUNT-4, patients who stopped tirzepatide also regained weight, but less than they lost. So why does this weight gain happen? I feel like the answer to this is obvious, but I've found that it's not.  GLP-1s change your appetite and hunger cues. Once the medication is stopped, your body's baseline hunger signals return—and often with increased intensity, due to metabolic adaptation. But this isn't unique to GLP-1s. The same thing happens after crash diets, keto, intermittent fasting, or bariatric surgery if long-term changes aren't made. The real issue isn't the drug—it's the lack of a plan after the drug. To help make results sustainable, we need to use the medication as a tool, not a crutch. We should use it to help us lose weight and understand our hunger cues, while transitioning to a whole foods, protein based diet coupled with resistance training to help preserve and build muscle.  Just remember, if you're coming off a GLP-1 and want to keep the momentum going, the key is to approach it thoughtfully. Tapering slowly under medical supervision can help your body adjust and reduce the chances of weight regain. At the same time, this is a great moment to double down on the habits that helped you feel your best while on the medication. Think ongoing support—like working with a health coach, joining a support group, or even doing behavioral therapy—to help reinforce those long-term lifestyle changes. It's not just about what you stop; it's about what you keep doing that matters most. You don't necessarily have to stay on GLP-1s forever—but if you stop without a plan, some weight regain is very likely. Think of them like glasses: they help you see clearly while you build the habits to eventually navigate without them. For some, that may mean staying on a lower maintenance dose long-term—just like with blood pressure or cholesterol meds. What are my final thoughts? I want to be clear—GLP-1s aren't magic. But they are powerful tools when paired with education, support, and smart lifestyle changes.  Myths like ‘you'll go blind,' ‘you'll lose all your hair,' or ‘you'll be stuck on these meds forever' aren't just misleading and downright false—they discourage people from getting real help.  So if you're thinking about these medications, get informed, ask the hard questions, and make your decision based on science—not fear.

 On this episode of Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes back Jacqui Bryan for an eye-opening discussion on the myths and truths of metabolism, especially as it relates to cancer recovery and survivorship. Drawing on their personal experiences with cancer as well as their professional expertise, Saranne and Jacqui unravel common misconceptions about metabolism, from late-night eating and fasting trends to miracle supplements, and explore practical strategies to support metabolic health during and after cancer treatment.Jacqui Bryan is celebrated for her integrative approach to wellness, combining advanced training in nutrition and functional medicine with deep compassion for those navigating health challenges. As a cancer survivor herself, Jacqui brings both scientific insight and real-life wisdom to her work, guiding clients toward balance and well-being through nutrition, personalized lifestyle changes, and evidence-based health education."I like to think of us all as snowflakes. No two snowflakes are alike. And so no two metabolisms are alike." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Every person has a unique metabolism influenced by genetics, age, sex, muscle mass, and lifestyle factors·     Metabolism changes naturally over a lifetime and can be impacted significantly by cancer treatments and the stress of illness.·     Eating late at night doesn't slow down metabolism, but it may disrupt sleep and the body's natural detoxification processes.·     Intermittent fasting and very low-calorie diets may slow metabolism and cause muscle loss, highlighting the need for balanced nutrition during cancer recovery.·     Muscle mass is a key driver of metabolism, making strength training and regular physical activity especially important during survivorship and as we age.·     Supplements and trendy "metabolism boosters" offer minimal, if any, real benefit, and could be harmful without proper medical guidance.·     Managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and nurturing social connections all contribute to optimal metabolic and overall health.·     Consistent eating routines, whole nutrient-dense foods, and joyful living support well-being during cancer treatment and beyond.Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries on 7 continents and has over 365 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_SuggestionsTo sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!
