View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn this episode of The Ready State Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Kevin Hall—one of the world's leading metabolism researchers and a longtime NIH scientist—for a wide-ranging conversation on what the research actually says about weight loss, energy balance, and the modern food environment.Dr. Hall explains what we've learned from real-world and tightly controlled studies, including his work following The Biggest Loser contestants, and why exercise doesn't fully prevent the metabolic adaptations that can accompany major weight loss. We also unpack why “calories in, calories out” is both true in principle and often misunderstood in practice, how ultra-processed foods can drive overeating, and what GLP-1 medications may be changing in appetite biology.The episode also touches on Dr. Hall's departure from a 21-year career at the NIH, following the censorship of his team's findings on ultra-processed foods when they didn't align with preferred narratives—an experience he describes as chilling for scientific communication.Finally, we explore the practical challenges of doing high-quality nutrition research, why confident opinions can outpace the data, and what it will take to better understand—and ultimately prevent—diet-related chronic disease.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy metabolism isn't “broken” — and why larger bodies burn more calories at restWhat the Biggest Loser study actually revealed about weight loss and regainWhy exercise doesn't “save” your metabolism during extreme dietingHow ultraprocessed foods change how much people eat — without acting like addictive drugsWhy calories in vs. calories is often misunderstood in practiceHow genetics and environment interact to shape body weightWhat GLP-1 drugs are really doing — and what they don't fixWhy nutrition science is underfunded, politicized, and desperately neededChapters(00:00) - Kevin Hall, PhD, Metabolism Researcher(01:01) - Dr. Hall on the Ready State Podcast(04:10) - Misconceptions About Metabolism(04:54) - The Biggest Loser Study & Metabolism Influence(13:09) - Challenges in Nutrition Research(19:10) - Metabolism's Role in Weight Loss(22:13) - Vitality Blueprint: Importance of Blood Work(25:45) - Calories In, Calories Out: Simplistic View?(30:45) - Understanding GLP-1 Agonists(32:20) - The Food Environment's Impact(36:05) - Ultra-Processed Foods and Caloric Intake(38:02) - The Complexity of Obesity(41:40) - Solutions for Our Food System(48:23) - Causes of Brain Fog(49:34) - Element: Nutritional Insights(51:39) - RFK Jr. Discussion(01:01:40) - Politics' Influence on Science(01:04:35) - Leaders in Nutrition Science(01:06:48) - Can Weight Loss Be Achieved?(01:08:10) - Universal Diets: Myth or Reality?(01:12:35) - Why Doritos Lead to Overeating(01:13:21) - Understanding Visceral Fat(01:14:04) - Momentous: Nutritional Products(01:20:25) - Book/TV Show/Music Recommendations(01:21:11) - Connecting with Dr. Hall(01:21:52) - OutroConnect with KevinWebsite | Bluesky | X | LinkedInBook: Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms UsCheck out The Biggest Loser Study2019 Study: Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight GainHuge thanks to our sponsors, Vitality, Momentous, and LMNT.

Are ICE error rates actually rising, or is the media ignoring the data? In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano and John Lott, President and Founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, expose the reality of ICE enforcement, Trump's immigration record, and the statistics the mainstream media refuses to cover.    Despite the headlines, the data reveals a different story about U.S. immigration policy. From the "organized movement" against ICE to the truth about American citizen detentions, we break down why public perception is so disconnected from reality.   What You'll Learn in This Episode The Trump vs. Obama Record: How historical ICE error rates compare across administrations. The Myth of "Citizen Sweeps": The actual statistical likelihood of ICE mistakenly detaining U.S. citizens. Sanctuary Policies & Safety: How local law enforcement cooperation, or the lack thereof, directly impacts community outcomes. Funding the Protest: A look at the organized and funded movement designed to disrupt ICE operations. Media Bias: How narratives around "complex causes" of detention deaths are framed to shape public opinion. Why public support for deportation policies remains strong despite media narratives

“Don't lift your arms over your head.”“First babies always come late.”“Hospital birth is the only safe option.”If you're pregnant, you may have already heard at least one of these — maybe from a well-meaning family member… or maybe from your doctor.In this episode, we're having a little fun (and a lot of truth-telling) as we walk through 16 of the most common pregnancy and birth myths, from the 1940s all the way to today. Some are funny. Some are outdated. And some are still quietly shaping how women experience pregnancy and birth — without even realizing it.If you've ever wondered, “Is this actually true… or just something people say?"... this one's for you!Here are some highlights from the episode:• Why lifting your arms, moving your body, and even sex during pregnancy became taboo • The truth behind weight gain, cravings, and “eating for two” • The real history of being put to sleep for labor (and why informed consent matters) • How formula marketing, induction convenience, and medical authority shaped modern birth • Why questioning your provider is not only okay — it's important • What actually happens with water breaking, due dates, and first babies • The myths surrounding epidurals, C-sections, and “forgetting the pain” • Why instant bonding doesn't happen for everyone — and why that's normalSome will make you laugh, others will have you shaking your head...all of them will be debunked

JJ welcomes back Michelle Reittinger, author and host of The Upside of Bipolar, for a bold, hope-filled conversation that challenges common cultural narratives around bipolar disorder. Together, they unpack "myths" that can keep people stuck in fear and identity-based labels—and invite listeners into curiosity, root-cause investigation, and a more empowering view of symptoms, healing, and personal responsibility. In This Episode, We Cover ·         Michelle's story: diagnosed in 1998, years of intensive psychiatric treatment, polypharmacy, and a breaking point that became a turning point ·         Why a diagnosis can feel like an "answer," but often doesn't explain why symptoms started ·         The difference between a "cluster of symptoms" and an identified disease mechanism ·         Why curiosity (vs. shame) changes everything—especially with intense symptoms like rage, anxiety, and dissociation ·         The "detective" approach: identifying triggers, patterns, and underlying contributors ·         The role of foundational health (nutrients, sleep, nervous system regulation) in emotional resilience and symptom reduction ·         Why suppressed emotions can show up as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or crisis states ·         How identity, victimhood, and relationship dynamics can unconsciously reinforce staying stuck ·         A grounded reminder: do not abruptly stop medications—tapering/changes should be done slowly and safely with qualified support Notable Takeaways ·         Labels can reduce curiosity—and curiosity is often the doorway to change. ·         "Symptoms" are information; the goal is to explore what they're pointing to. ·         The most empowering question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What happened—and what is my system asking for now?" ·         Healing can have a social cost: if your "sick role" has been rewarded with attention, protection, or lowered expectations, getting better can feel threatening (even subconsciously). Resources Mentioned ·         Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker ·         The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk ·         Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno Connect with Michelle ·         Website: theupsideofbipolar.com ·         Free resource: Mood Cycle Survival Guide (available on her site) ·         Podcast + book links are also on her website.

Are these common Hawaii travel tips actually costing you time and money in 2026?

You can be deeply loved—and still not feel it. In this episode, we’re exploring the gap between being loved and feeling loved, the myths that keep love from landing, and how modern life can amplify disconnection. If you've ever felt unseen, insecure, or lonely inside an otherwise good relationship, this conversation will help you understand why, and what you can do about it. My guest is Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of the best-selling books The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness. Her latest book, co-authored with Dr. Harry Reis, is titled How To Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More Of What Matters Most. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why do so many people struggle to feel loved, even when they clearly are? How can admiration and praise actually leave us feeling lonelier? Why does believing you have to “earn” love block you from experiencing it? What happens to our mental health, relationships, and desire when we don't feel loved? How is modern technology undermining our sense of connection?

Have you heard high-stakes #poker players claiming that they play a GTO strategy? That is a myth that is quickly disproved; the general GTO solution to poker is currently unknown. Even if such a solution was available, memorizing solver output and its mixing frequencies would be impossible. It is also the case, however, that GTO solvers have radically improved our understanding of the fundamentals of poker. This podcast episode breaks down the practical takeaways from GTO research, with a particular emphasis on GTO traps to avoid.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction: The GTO Myth 0:48 Why Nobody Actually Plays Pure GTO Poker 2:22 High-Stakes Players Who Claim to Be "GTO Players" 4:14 The Problem with Solver Memorization 6:03 How Players Are Misled by GTO Claims 7:42 Training Content Focused Only on GTO 9:30 The Danger of Solver Misuse for New Players 11:00 Card-Removal Effects vs. Fundamental Strategy 12:06 The RNG Mixing Myth 14:32 Suggestions for Better Poker Study 15:29 Why Pure GTO Players Are a Red Flag 17:55 GTO Principles + Exploitative Play = Maximum Win-Rate 19:57 Poker Ecology and Who Benefits from GTO Play 22:42 Final Thoughts on Maximizing Your Win-Rate **RELATED LINKS** - Red Chip Poker GTO Ranges App: https://redchippoker.com/gto-ranges-app - The Exploitative Edge (Book): https://redchippoker.com/the-exploitative-edge - How To Crush GTO Poker: https://youtu.be/j8cFt86B8To?si=KCYCurk0NK-Ua60v - Common Questions About GTO Poker: https://youtu.be/jKzHZnVMjRk?si=53huagktpyXAOOSQ   **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join our free poker Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord

Send us a textFor those of you that don't know, in the modern system of medical school clinical rotations, students typically rotate at their "home institutions" or medical school affiliates.  One of the criticisms of post-graduate Osteopathic Medical education is that at some schools, students need to do a significant number of away rotations especially if they are interested in competitive surgical specialties.  The VSLO is an organization through the AAMC which allows American MD and American DO students to coordinate these rotations with outside hospitals.   This episode is mainly in response to posts on Redit and Youtube commenting on the process for Osteopathic Medical Students.  To shed some light on the topic, In this episode, we will interview Robin Carle, the director of VSLO at the AAMC to shed some light on the VSLO process and the validity of the comments regarding biases within the system against DO's.

In this episode of Sheena Interrupted, we are breaking down the most common marriage myths people swear by. We cover the big ones couples argue about all the time, like: • “Good couples never fight” (spoiler: LOL) • “Never go to bed angry” and the pressure to finish every argument immediately • “If they loved you, they'd just know what you need”  • Forgiveness = forgetting (and whether you can forgive without erasing the lesson) • A strong marriage has no resentment (ideal vs. human reality) • “Happy wife, happy life” — myth, truth, or… a complicated family ripple effect?We also discuss love languages, emotional “defaults,” and why communication isn't just talking more—it's learning how your partner actually hears you. Basically: relationship advice, but with chaos, roasting, and at least one imaginary whiteboard.If you're into relationships, marriage advice, couples communication, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and honest conversations about what actually works in long-term love, this one's for you.#marriage #relationship #podcast This week's sponsor: barefaced.com and use code SHEENA for 15% off

In this Bonus Hour of the The Financial Guys Podcast, the guys dig into why union workers have dramatically shifted their political loyalties, how media echo chambers distort immigration and crime statistics, and why accountability in law enforcement and government leadership matters more than ever. They break down the difference between legal and illegal immigration when it comes to business ownership, call out the misuse of data used to shape public opinion, and make the case for passing voter ID legislation before the midterms.

In this episode, Brian welcomes John from Indiana for a gripping conversation that dives headfirst into the strange, unsettling, and deeply fascinating edges of the paranormal. John shares his journey from lifelong skeptic to reluctant believer, a transformation sparked by a ghost hunt at the Randolph County Infirmary that challenged everything he thought he knew. From there, the experiences only escalate.He recounts chilling encounters in Ohio's Tar Hollow State Park, where unexplained stenches, heavy movements, and unnatural sounds hinted at something far from ordinary—possibly even Bigfoot itself.The conversation takes a darker turn as John describes a terrifying late-night drive that brought him face-to-face with a gray, humanoid figure crossing the road, an encounter eerily reminiscent of what many refer to as a “pale crawler.”Together, Brian and John explore possible explanations for these phenomena, weaving in theories involving ancient Native American mounds, burial sites, and the idea that certain locations may act as catalysts for high strangeness. John also introduces his podcast, Myths, Monsters, and the Unexplained, where he continues to investigate cryptids, folklore, and firsthand encounters that refuse to fit neatly into our understanding of reality.This episode blurs the line between skepticism and belief and asks the question: what happens when the unexplained starts following you home?Myths Monsters and Mullets YouTube ChannelGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

You were probably taught to fear masturbation. I see this every day in my work with men and women. The problem is not self pleasure. The problem is guilt, misinformation, and nervous system disconnection. In this episode, I break down the biggest masturbation myths and explain what actually supports sexual health, erections, confidence, and pleasure after 50. I talk about porn use, erectile dysfunction, testosterone fears, technique, frequency, and shame. I also explain why orgasms act like pelvic floor training and why mindful self pleasure strengthens partner sex instead of replacing it. This is a no shame conversation about choice, awareness, and reclaiming pleasure as part of wellness.In this episode: 0:00 You were lied to about masturbation0:28 What masturbation is really linked to1:10 Why people feel guilt and anxiety around self pleasure1:55 Orgasms and pelvic floor health2:35 Why masturbation supports sexual function3:05 Myth one porn is the problem3:55 Myth two masturbation causes erectile dysfunction4:40 Myth three guilt is harmless5:15 Myth four technique does not matter5:55 Myth five masturbating too much6:25 Testosterone fears and final reframing of pleasureWant a deeper look?

If you already have a podcast that isn't driving the growth or revenue you expected, there's a good chance one of these myths is quietly ambushing your strategy.And if you're still deciding whether launching a podcast is the right move for your business, these same myths may be keeping you stuck in indecision.I'm breaking down podcasting myths I see holding entrepreneurs back.It's not because they lack clarity or discipline, but because the advice sounds responsible… and it's wrong.These beliefs convince people they need:a bigger audience before they can monetizemore time before they can commitor purely organic growth for podcasting to “work”When you understand the myths, you can make a clear, strategic decision — whether that means refining the podcast you already have or deciding, with confidence, whether podcasting belongs in your business at all.Podcasting can work when:you treat it like a business asset, not a content hobbyyou plan to monetize intentionally (including guesting)you focus on building trust and serving your audienceIf you're starting to resent your podcast and questioning whether podcasting is even worth the effort — this episode will help you identify which belief may be running the show.Want to talk it through?

Ancient Egypt is filled with echoes of a story the whole world once knew and believed. Across carvings, king lists, flood legends, and ancestral histories, we find powerful memories of a man who truly lived. A man Scripture calls righteous. A man the ancient world remembered long after the waters receded. A man called Noah. Join us as Eric Hovind and researcher Gavin Cox reveal how Egypt's flood traditions are not competing myths but distorted memories of the one true historical event recorded in Genesis. Myths cannot replace myths. They only echo a real moment in history that left its imprint on every ancient culture. In this eye opening episode, we uncover why secular scholars work so hard to turn true history into legend and why the evidence refuses to follow their script. You will see how the biblical record stands tall above every corrupted retelling and remains the only reliable foundation for understanding the ancient world.   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/noah-and-the-flood-in-ancient-egypt-creation-today-show-460/  Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Then the conversation turns holy (and hilarious) as Alex shares about her upcoming book The Divine Counselor—a fresh, needed look at Holy Spirit as a Person, not just a symbol.

Welcome to our first monthly Q&A episode of Season 7!In today's episode, we discuss why C-sections are sometimes framed as “prevention,” how fear around tearing, fetal monitoring, or cord concerns impacts clinical decision-making, and why breaking the bag of waters is still routine practice despite clear risks and limited benefit. We explain what delayed cord clamping looks like during a cesarean and why vague language like “misplaced cord insertion” can unknowingly lead to unnecessary intervention. Additionally, we talk about nursing while pregnant, early breastfeeding challenges, frozen breastmilk, feeding to sleep, and other common postpartum concerns. Lastly, Barbara Harper joins us to dispel the fear around water birth by explaining the exact physiology of newborn transition under the water. As always, thanks for calling in with your questions.

There's a lot of advice about traveling to Iceland, and not all of it is helpful. In this podcast episode, I'm breaking down five common Iceland travel myths that end up quietly costing travelers time, money, and energy. From unrealistic expectations about weather to misunderstandings around driving and seasons, this episode will help you spot the assumptions that derail trips before they even begin. The 5 Iceland Travel Myths That Mislead Visitors Myth 1: “Iceland is always freezing cold” Iceland has a reputation for being brutally cold, but that's not actually true year-round — or even most of the time. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, temperatures are often milder than people expect, especially along the coast. The bigger challenge for travelers is usually wind and changing weather, not extreme cold. When people assume “freezing,” they often overpack or misunderstand what conditions they're really preparing for. Myth 2: “You need extreme winter clothing” Many travelers assume they need expedition-level gear just to survive Iceland, which leads to overpacking and overspending. In reality, what matters most is layering properly, not wearing the heaviest gear possible. Waterproof and windproof layers are far more important than bulky items. Dressing smartly, not excessively, makes travel easier, more comfortable, and more flexible. Myth 3: “Winter driving is too dangerous for tourists” Winter driving in Iceland isn't automatically dangerous, but it does require preparation and realistic expectations. Many visitors drive safely every winter by choosing appropriate vehicles, monitoring weather forecasts, and adjusting their plans when needed. Conditions vary significantly by region and day, which is why flexibility and local awareness matter more than fear. The real risk comes from underestimating the conditions, not from driving itself. Myth 4: “It's completely dark in Iceland during winter” While daylight hours are shorter in winter, Iceland is not in total darkness. Even around the winter solstice, there are several hours of daylight, including long twilight periods. Many travelers are surprised by how usable the day still feels — especially when plans are adjusted to match daylight windows. Understanding how daylight actually works makes winter travel far less intimidating. Myth 5: “You can only see the Northern Lights in winter” Winter is the most popular season for Northern Lights viewing, but it's not the only time they appear. The aurora can be visible in late fall and early spring as well — whenever skies are dark enough and solar activity cooperates. The key factors are darkness, clear skies, and patience, not just the season itself. This myth often causes people to unnecessarily limit their travel options. The Real Issue: Assumptions, Not Bad Decisions Most Iceland travel mistakes aren't about bad decisions, they're about bad assumptions. When travelers rely on oversimplified advice or viral content, they often plan trips that don't match reality. Once those assumptions are corrected, Iceland becomes far easier and more enjoyable to explore. Plan Iceland With Clarity, Not Guesswork If you're planning a trip to Iceland and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information, I want to invite you to my Live Iceland Trip Planning Workshop happening on January 31st, 2026. It's the first workshop of the year and is especially helpful if you're planning a trip for 2026 or beyond and want a strong head start. This is a live, interactive workshop where I walk you through how to plan your trip realistically — from driving distances and timing, to choosing the right season, and building an itinerary that actually works. You'll also be able to ask me your questions in real time, which is honestly one of the most valuable parts. I also do a giveaway at the end of the workshop, including Iceland-related prizes. One of those prizes is a one-on-one video trip consultation with me, which is usually fully booked since I only open a few slots each year. If you want clarity, confidence, and a solid plan instead of stress, you can find all the details and sign up using the link in the show notes or here

Why do most New Year's resolutions fail by week three? Often because we don't really connect with those resolutions. In this episode, we'll build on our self-connection series to see how that work of connecting with our true self can inform goals that we're more likely to achieve. We'll focus on a two-step framework for goal achievement: fit (goals that match your authentic values) and grit (sustained effort that doesn't lead to burnout).

EVEN MORE about this episode!Did your soul choose this life—and its challenges—before you were born? Join Julie Ryan and developmental psychologist Robert Atkinson, PhD, as they explore pre-birth planning, destiny, déjà vu, and how ancient myths reveal the deeper purpose behind your life's journey. Through powerful spiritual stories and folklore— including tales of souls receiving their life path before birth—they explore whether experiences like déjà vu may be echoes of a greater design meant to guide our growth and awakening.This episode dives into myths and sacred stories not as literal history, but as profound psychological and spiritual maps. Dr. Atkinson reveals how timeless narratives—from Jonah and the whale to Gilgamesh and Odysseus—share a universal structure rooted in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, offering a blueprint for transformation that transcends culture and time. These stories, he explains, are invitations to wholeness—calling us to face trials, claim meaning, and evolve beyond duality.Together, Julie and Dr. Atkinson explore how imagination, community, meditation, prayer, and spiritual guidance help us interpret these stories in a modern world overflowing with information but starving for wisdom. This rich conversation will change how you view your life story—inviting you to see your challenges not as obstacles, but as sacred signposts guiding you toward purpose, unity, and deeper consciousness.Guest Biography:Robert Atkinson, PhD, is an award-winning author, educator, and developmental psychologist whose work bridges storytelling, personal transformation, and the evolution of consciousness. He is the author or co-editor of more than a dozen influential books, including The Way of Unity: Essential Principles and Preconditions for Peace (2025), A New Story of Wholeness, The Story of Our Time, Year of Living Deeply, and Mystic Journey, earning multiple Gold and Silver Nautilus Book Awards for his contributions to unitive and evolutionary thought. Dr. Atkinson holds a PhD in cross-cultural human development from the University of Pennsylvania with a postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Chicago, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Southern Maine, and is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in life story interviewing, personal myth-making, and soul-centered development. He is the director of StoryCommons, founder of One Planet Peace Forum, a member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award as a Visionary Leader from the Visioneers International Network.Episode Chapters:(0:00:01) - Soul's Purpose and Life's Journey(0:12:24) - The Power of Myths and Legends(0:26:42) - The Power of Stories and Imagination(0:37:23) - The Power of Parables and Healing(0:55:43) - The Path to Wholeness➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

Episode 3890: Nir Eyal challenges the popular belief that willpower is a limited resource and reveals how this mindset can sabotage our ability to stay disciplined. Backed by research from Carol Dweck and Michael Inzlicht, the article reframes willpower as an emotion that fluctuates and can be managed, not something we "run out" of. Shifting this perspective can help us build resilience, make better decisions, and stop using "lack of willpower" as an excuse to quit. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/about-willpower/ Quotes to ponder: "Believing we do [run out of willpower] makes us less likely to accomplish our goals, by providing a rationale to quit when we could otherwise persist." "Ego-depletion is essentially caused by self-defeating thoughts and not by any biological limitation." "Rather than telling ourselves we failed because we're somehow deficient, we should offer self-compassion by speaking to ourselves with kindness when we experience setbacks."
