In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman welcome Dr. Christopher Labos to examine the controversial topic of seed oils in nutrition. The scientists explore common misconceptions surrounding dietary fats, clarifying the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats and addressing the ongoing omega-3 versus omega-6 debate. They investigate how seed oils became demonized in contemporary diet culture, analyzing claims about their alleged inflammatory properties and health impacts. The conversation extends to broader nutritional misconceptions, food processing methods, and the polarization of dietary choices. Throughout the episode, the experts emphasize evidence-based approaches to nutrition, advocating for moderation and balanced dietary patterns over fear-based elimination of specific ingredients.

On Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis explode Southern draft myths while explaining how the Northern talent wave is already here and will continue. From development to keeping North talent home, they dive into the reasons this is happening. Then from Michigan and Ohio State to Iowa State, Penn State and Notre Dame, they look at the biggest stories in the 2025 NFL Draft in the North -- including a run of very interesting quarterbacks. Bradley Locker of PFF.com also stops by to explain some of his recent research that revealed SEC draft busts. Then the guys run through the most productive Northern draft teams of the last decade, and those that are in a drought. Finally, it's Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking.

If you've been gardening for any amount of time, you've likely come across companion planting charts—maybe you've seen advice like “plant basil with tomatoes” or “marigolds repel all pests.” But how much of this is actually true?Companion planting can mean a lot of things, depending on what our goal is. We can either be going for pest repelling properties, keeping weeds down, soil health benefits, or just enhancing flavors or saving space.Today on Just Grow Something, we're sorting fact from fiction. Some companion planting practices do have solid science behind them. But many claims are more anecdotal than evidence-based—and in some cases, well-intended pairings might even backfire. I'm looking at you marigolds.

HOUR ONE: Just because the Ouija board is made by a board game manufacturer does not mean it should be treated like a toy – as many have discovered. *** The similar game, Charlie Charlie seems more innocent – but is so dangerous that in one school where children were playing it, they had to call in an exorcist. *** And you never know when playing any of these types of games what kind of spirit you might be inviting into our realm – but I can tell you this…. It's never good. They might pretend to be good, but that's far from the truth. And one particular demon has found notoriety through the Ouija board community, a demon you don't want to risk opening a door for. It's name is Zozo.==========HOUR TWO: Did lost cosmonauts make it into space before Yuri Gagarin? (The Tombs in Space) *** Don't take a gift from Gracie Watson's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (Gracie's Ghost) *** Did Bonnie Scott run away? Was she kidnapped? Murdered perhaps? All anyone knew was that no one had a clue where she was. She had simply disappeared without a trace. (The Murder of Bonnie Leigh Scott) *** A latchkey kid comes home to an empty house… or so they thought until they heard footsteps in another room. (The Laundry Room)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People often encounter strange and frightening things when they experience sleep paralysis – but in one particular story, the horrors began well before going to bed. (Sleep Paralysis in Bangkok) *** Samuel Joselyn was buried in 1810 in a North Carolina cemetery. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Samuel was actually DEAD at the time of his burial! (Buried Alive in Wilmington) *** in 1894 Rosa Lochner was a witness to murder, but she had been deaf since birth and her spoken vocabulary was limited. So how could she testify against the accused? (Murder In Pantomime) *** A boy wakes to find his previously closed curtains now open – and the only explanation involves a previous resident of the house he's now living in. (Strange Manifestations) *** Mention the word “Chupacabra” and most people will think of a strange, hairless dog-like animal. They are never described as having the ability to fly… until now. (Winged Chupacabras) *** These UFOs aren't shiny metallic discs or cigar-shaped spaceships. They are humanoid – and they fly without the help of a jetpack, wings, cape or even a broom to sit on. And the sightings are still coming in all throughout Mexico. (The Flying Humanoids of Mexico) *** The North Carolina Cherokee have a story about how dangerous it can be even near a calm river – where the waters can suddenly foam and a giant beast can appear on the rocks. (James and the Giant Leech) *** Supernatural women, shadowy men, odd animal sightings, and more… they can all be found at late-night truck stops if you're not careful.

Send us a textAfter attending a recent event featuring Dr. Jemar Tisby, I had the chance to connect with the host of that gathering, Professor Jessica Wai-Fong Wong, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Azusa Pacific University and author of the groundbreaking book Disordered: Holy Icons and Racial Myths.In this episode, we reflect on that event, where Dr. Tisby shared moving stories about his relationship with the late Dr. Bill Pennell of Fuller Theological Seminary—a pioneering voice in racial awareness whose bold challenges to white evangelicalism began in the late '60s and continued for decades.Dr. Wong, herself deeply influenced by Dr. Pennell's legacy, joins me for a conversation that dives into the concept of whiteness as an archetype and its enduring impact on Christian theology and the history of race. Drawing from her own journey as a Chinese American woman raised in predominantly white spaces in Texas, Dr. Wong shares insights from her book, including what it means to "aspire to whiteness" and the painful experience of being cast as an "anti-icon" in a white-dominated religious context.We also explore my own experience within a Korean megachurch in Southern California, examining how whiteness becomes synonymous with order, while everyone else—Black, brown, Asian, Jewish, or female—is often seen as a threat to it.This is more than a theological discussion—it's a deep dive into history, identity, and the present-day political and spiritual moment we're all navigating.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, amid numerous threats from abroad and pressing domestic issues, it's outrageous that the media is fixated on Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant, documented wife-beater, and alleged MS-13 gang member. Garcia has been ruled deportable by immigration courts and the Department of Homeland Security due to his gang ties and illegal status. Despite clear evidence, the media ignores his criminality, and Democrats defend him. The ruling class protects Garcia while criticizing President Trump, yet it ignores Biden's defiance of Supreme Court orders on student loans. Also, the 14th Amendment does not provide for birthright citizenship, contrary to media claims, and its authors never intended it to include such a right. At no time did the authors of the 14th Amendment ever mention birthright citizenship. For 40 years AFTER the ratification of the 14th Amendment no court had ruled, and no Congress had argued that there was something called birthright citizenship. Later, the Capital Research Center's report, "When Charities Betray America," examines how certain "pro-Palestinian" groups, specifically Within Our Lifetime (WOL), Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and Code Pink, have increasingly promoted anti-American and anti-police rhetoric since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Analyzing thousands of social media posts, the study found a 3,000% surge in calls for violence and a 186% increase in anti-American and anti-police keywords among 496 groups and activists, many tied to nonprofits or charities. Finally, Jim Trusty calls in to explain that the DOJ's decision to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, which raises complex legal issues, including federal jurisdiction over a traditionally state-handled crime.

Dr. Prather looked forward to doing this show to bring clarity to recent media coverage and to also talk about natural solutions for the Measles. In this episode, you'll find out:—How Measles is "the most contagious infection out there".—The "Three C's" of Measles symptoms. And why Lisa questions Dr. Prather's spelling skills after hearing this list!—The historical connection of Measles to cattle and why Native Americans were so badly impacted by the Measles. And why breastfeeding is so important to protect a child's immune system.—Why the latest media coverage about Measles is biased by the pharmaceutical companies. And how the children in Texas who reportedly died from Measles may have actually died due to comorbidities and medical mistreatment. —How Dr. Prather says the MMR vaccine has been "extremely effective", but was also the first vaccine to really raise safety complaints from parents. And how more children usually die from the MMR vaccine than from the Measles.—Why Dr. Prather says he would prefer to see separate vaccine options for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella instead of putting them into one vaccine that can cause too much stress on a child's immune system.—The importance of Vitamin A for Measles. And why Dr. Prather recommends people first get their Vitamin A levels checked, but suggests Beta Carotene for those who don't get tested to avoid potential toxic side effects of taking Vitamin A.—The key role played by Vitamin D, Iodine, and Zinc in protecting an immune system from Measles. And how Cod Liver Oil that families used to regularly give to their children can help build up a child's immune system.—The helpful natural things for someone who already has Measles, such as: Homeopathic Belladonna and herbal Feverfew for fever and Oatmeal baths and Homeopathic Avena Sativa for the rash. And how antibiotics can be "extremely helpful" for secondary infections like pneumonia.—How regular Chiropractic adjustments and the Spleen-21 Acupuncture point are effective ways to boost a patient's immune system when they are fighting an infection. And the benefit of the Diathermy treatment at Holistic Integration for quickly clearing up upper-respiratory infections.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
We dive deep into some sensitive subjects, dealing with hot topics in our world of recruiting and helping athletes and families have the experience that is best for them.We tackle topics like athletes being unable to attend Select Camps due to club practice, overpractice, and too long a season, as well as the insane month of June for 16s.Then we dive into our yearly topic of WHY would any club ever tell prospects that they ARE NOT ALLOWED to talk about camps they are going to or schools they are looking at ? We discuss why that benefits the athlete and the reasons why the clubs may be doing it in their best interest, not that of the athlete.Other topics covered...." Anytime a coach or club person tells you 'you are not allowed to... ' that should probably be a RED FLAG," and why athletes should and need to speak up about their experiences MORE in HS and College.This aligns with what we teach in our Str8 Talk Recruiting Series, which focuses on educating people on the process and asking why. This is an individual process that clubs shouldn't have blanket policies on.Connect with VB Adrenaline: Check out the website Connect with Darren on Instagram @vbadrenaline.com PS- Do you love this podcast?

Episode 189: Intermittent Fasting (Religious and Sports)Future Doctors Carlisle and Kim give recommendations about patients who are fasting for religious reasons, such as Ramadan. They also explain the benefits and risks of fasting for athletes and also debunked some myths about fasting. Dr. Arreaza add input about the side effects of fasting and ways to address them. Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV (RUSM) and Kyung Kim, MSIV (AUC). Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction: In the last episode on fasting (#179), we explored how intermittent fasting (IF) can help manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss, and lowering inflammation. We discussed the benefits of methods like 16:8 time-restricted eating and the 5:2 meal plan, and even compared IF to medications like metformin. Today, we're bringing that science into real life. We'll talk about how people fast for religious reasons, like during Ramadan, how athletes use IF to stay in shape, and how we can use IF as a tool in family medicine to support community health and A1c control.Intermittent Fasting in Religious PracticeRamadan just ended on 3/30/25, but this is a great time to talk about the broader role of fasting in religion and health. Many faiths incorporate fasting into spiritual practice and understanding this can help us better support our patients.Islam (Ramadan): Ramadan is a month where Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, focusing on spiritual reflection and self-control. No food or drink is consumed during daylight hours. Despite this, studies have shown that with good planning, fasting during Ramadan does not significantly impair physical performance or metabolic health.Key health tips for patients observing Ramadan:Hydrate well between iftar (sunset) and suhoor (pre-dawn).Break the fast with dates and water to gently replenish energy and electrolytes.Eat balanced meals with complex carbs, protein, and healthy fatsAvoid greasy, heavy foods right after fastingLight exercise (such as a walk) after iftar is beneficialReview medications with a healthcare provider, especially for those on insulin or sulfonylureas.For example: Metformin should be taken when you break your fast and then again before dawn. If its an extended-release metformin, take it at night. Metformin does not cause significant hypoglycemia and can be continued during Ramadan. Basal insulin is advised to be given at Iftar, and the dose should be reduced by 25-35% if the patient is not well managed. And regarding the fast-acting insulin, it requires a little more reading, so you can look it up and learn about it. Judaism: In Judaism, fasting is practiced on days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, typically lasting 25 hours without food or water. These fasts are spiritual and reflective, and patients with medical conditions may seek guidance on how to participate safely.Christianity: Many Christians fast during Lent, either by abstaining from certain foods or limiting meal frequency. Some practice partial-day fasts or water-only fasts for spiritual renewal.A branch of Christianity known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsoften observe a 24-hour fast on the first Sunday of each month, known as Fast Sunday, where they abstain from food and drink and donate the cost of meals to charity. This practice is both spiritual and communal.Cameron: Fasting for religious reasons, when done safely, can align with IF protocols and be culturally sensitive for diverse patients in family medicine.IF in Athletes and PerformanceIntermittent fasting is gaining popularity in the sports world. Athletes are using IF to improve body composition, increase fat oxidation, and enhance metabolic flexibility. A recent study, known as the DRIFT trial and published in Annals of Internal Medicine, found that fasting three non-consecutive days a week led to more weight loss than daily calorie restriction. Participants lost an average of 6.37 pounds more over 12 months.Why? Better adherence. People found the 3-day fasting schedule easier to stick to than counting calories every day.Benefits of IF for athletes:Encourages fat burning (via AMPK activation and GLUT4 upregulation, listen to ep. 179).Helps maintain lean muscle while reducing fat.No major drop in performance when meals and workouts are timed properly.What are some practical tips?Schedule workouts during or just before eating windows.Eat protein-rich meals post-workout.Avoid intense training during long fasts unless adapted.Stay hydrated, especially in hot environments or endurance sports.Broader Applications and Myths Around IFHormonal Effects of IF: In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, IF also affects hormones such as ghrelin (which stimulates hunger, remember it as growling) and leptin (which signals fullness). Over time, IF may help the body regulate appetite better and reduce cravings. IF can also decrease morning cortisol levels, the stress hormone. That's why it's important to monitor sleep, hydration, and stress levels when recommending IF.Circadian Rhythm Alignment: Emerging research shows that aligning eating times with natural light/dark cycles—eating during the day and fasting at night—can improve metabolic outcomes. This practice, known as early time-restricted eating (eTRE), has been shown to lower blood glucose, reduce insulin levels, and improve energy use. Patients who eat earlier in the day tend to have better results than those who eat late at night.Myths and Clarifications on IF:-“Fasting slows metabolism” In fact, short-term fasting may boost metabolism slightly due to increased norepinephrine. -“You can't exercise while fasting.” Many people can safely train during fasted states, especially for moderate cardio or strength training. -“Skipping breakfast is bad.” For some, skipping breakfast is a useful IF strategy—as long as total nutrition is maintained. You can break your fast at 2:00 pm, it does have to be at 7:00 AM.What to Eat When Breaking a FastBreaking a fast properly is just as important as fasting itself. Whether it's after a Ramadan fast or a 16-hour fast, the goal is to replenish energy gently and restore nutrients.Ideal foods to break a fast:Dates and water: provide quick energy, potassium, and fiberSoups: lentil or broth-based soups are gentle on digestionComplex carbs: whole grains like brown rice or oatsLean proteins: chicken, fish, eggs, legumesFruits and vegetables: hydrate and provide fiberHealthy fats: nuts, avocado, olive oilProbiotics: yogurt or kefir for gut supportBalanced meals with carbs, protein, and healthy fats help the body transition smoothly back to a fed state.Using IF in Family Medicine and Community HealthIntermittent fasting can be a practical, cost-effective strategy in family medicine. In areas with high rates of obesity and diabetes, like Kern County, IF offers a lifestyle-based tool to improve metabolic health, especially in underserved populations. IF is free!How IF can help in family medicine:Lower A1c levels: improves insulin sensitivity and glucose controlPromote weight loss: decreases insulin resistance and inflammationReduce medication dependence: fewer meds needed over time for some patientsEncourage patient engagement: flexible and easier to follow than strict calorie countingFit diverse lifestyles: aligns with religious and cultural practicesAddress food insecurity: structured eating windows can help patients stretch limited food resourcesHow to apply IF in clinic:Start the conversation by asking if the patient has heard of IFRecommend simple starting points: 12:12 or 14:10Emphasize hydration and nutrient-dense mealsMonitor labs and symptoms, especially in diabetic patientsAdjust medications to avoid hypoglycemiaProvide follow-up and patient education handouts if possibleWhat if a patient isn't ready to try fasting?For those not ready to commit to intermittent fasting, one effective alternative is walking after meals. A simple 10–20 minute walk post-meal can help stimulate GLUT4 receptors in skeletal muscle, promoting glucose uptake independent of insulin. This reduces the demand on pancreatic beta cells and may help improve blood sugar control over time. This strategy is particularly useful for patients with insulin resistance or early-stage type 2 diabetes.Conclusion: Intermittent fasting is not one-size-fits-all, but it can be a powerful tool for both individual and community health. From Ramadan to race day, IF has a place in family medicine when used thoughtfully. Encourage patients to work with their healthcare providers to find an approach that fits their lifestyle, medical needs, and personal values. IF is a cost-effective toolEven without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Join us for the Media Storm LIVE SHOW with special guests Natasha Devon and Milo Edwards - Tuesday 20th May 7pm @ the Business Design Centre in Islington. Tickets are available HERE! Kim, an asylum seeker from Zimbabwe, lives on £7-a-day while supporting a newborn in cockroach-infested accommodation… HOW is she supposed to pay the £10,000 NHS bill she received after giving birth? This week, Kim shares her story, and the Media Storm team unpack the mainstream media myths that feed the wider healthcare, migration and gender injustices behind it. Myths like: ‘Why are all asylum seekers MEN?!' Don't they come for free healthcare?' ‘Illegal migrants are living in luxury hotels' ‘The asylum backlog is out of control!' We pick apart some current, culpable headlines, and compare the stories they tell with the first-hand experiences of the people living it. Also joining us in the studio is Judith Dennis, head of policy at Maternity Action, which works for the rights of pregnant women and new parents irrespective of migration status, and is campaigning for changes alongside the National Childbirth Trust. The episode is hosted and produced by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia) The music is by @soundofsamfire Support us on Patreon!

Burning it All Down, calling for a return to truth, critical thinking, and trust in data that has undoubtably produced the most enviably successful waterfowl conservation model on earth. It's time to confront the noise, rethink old habits, and build a future rooted in waterfowl conservation facts--not fiction.
