Are you ready to feel grounded, energized, and confident in your wellness this year? Are you tired of starting January with restriction instead of nourishment? Do you want habits that actually stick and support your metabolism, hormones, and mental health? In this episode, Ali and Becki kick off the new year by sharing five foundational ways to invest in your wellness so your routines feel craveworthy, not forced. We discuss how pleasure, satisfaction, and real food are essential for sustainability, how to navigate cravings without shame, and why creating routines your body desires leads to lasting change. We also dive into supporting detox pathways, balancing blood sugar, and understanding how hormonal shifts—especially changes in estrogen—impact insulin sensitivity and metabolism as women age. Ali and Becki cover practical strategies for metabolic flexibility, the role of gratitude in nervous system and metabolic regulation, and why getting outside daily may be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for stress resilience and healing.

COLD WAR RISE AND POLITICAL FALL Colleague James M. Scott. After the war, LeMay rose to lead the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and became Air Force Chief of Staff. However, his blunt, non-political nature caused friction with figures like Robert McNamara and JFK during the Cold War. He infamously suggested bombing Vietnam"back to the stone age," echoing his approach to Japan. In his 1965 autobiography, he expressed no regret for the firebombing, viewing it as necessary to end the war. His reputation suffered permanently after he ran as vice president on George Wallace's segregationist ticket in 1968. NUMBER 8 1945 OKINAWA
It is December 28th—that strange gap between Christmas and New Year. Let me ask you a question: How many times have you looked at your phone already today?.It is easy to open an app and see the "highlight reel" of everyone else's life—the matching pajamas, the immaculate tables, and those perfect smiles. This constant scrolling creates a trap of comparison, making you feel like your holiday wasn't enough or that you didn't do enough.This is "digital noise"—a low-level static buzzing in the back of your brain and stealing your joy.In today's session, Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist) guides you through a powerful Digital Detox Visualization. We won't throw your phone in a river, but we will take your mind to a place where the signal cannot reach you.In this episode, you will:Unplug the Mental Router: Visualize placing your phone face down on a hallway table and pulling the plug on your Wi-Fi router to stop the frantic blinking lights.Escape to the Wild: Step out of your back door and into an ancient, deep forest where the trees reach up like pillars of a cathedral.Experience Biophilic Sound: Learn how natural sounds—like the rustle of wind and the snap of a twig—soothe the brain instantly.Watch the Signal Drop: Visualize the signal bars on your internal phone dropping from three, to two, to one, until you have "no service" and are completely free.Find What is Real: Realize that pixels on a screen are not real, but the breath in your lungs and the ground beneath your feet are.Your life, with all its messiness and imperfections, is real and valid. You do not need to perform for an audience; you just need to be.A Note from Martin: "Discard those negative anchors that have ever held you back, embrace your true potential.".Connect & Support: If this escape helped you find peace, please subscribe to Calming Anxiety.Next Step: When you open your eyes, try not to reach for the screen immediately—look at something real, like the sky or your hands.Smile often, and be kind.

The Bible warns us that from the moment we are saved, we are hunted. In this sermon, Pastor Joe Rice preaches on Proverbs 6:5 and Proverbs 22:3, showing how Satan's hunters seek to destroy destinies, discourage new converts, and derail believers. From false prophets to debt, distractions, and even well-meaning family, the enemy uses many hunters. Learn how to stay aware, protect your spiritual life, and move from merely surviving to thriving.This message is a wake-up call for every believer: don't be ignorant, don't wander on the edges—stay in the middle of God's will, outlast the attacks, and live in the power of Christ's resurrection.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/• Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe• Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b00:00 Missionary Work and Heritage00:28 Honoring Missionaries and Their Sacrifices03:17 The Value of New Converts06:45 Surviving Your Many Hunters09:44 Understanding the Nature of Being Hunted12:32 The Consequences of Ignorance15:45 Satan's Early and Persistent Attacks18:24 The Role of the Church Community21:25 Warnings and Lessons from Experience27:00 The Deceptive Forces in Destiny29:45 Identifying and Overcoming Hunters of Destiny32:31 The Role of Family and Friends in Our Journey38:05 Surviving and Thriving Amidst Challenges43:47 Encouragement and Self-Strengthening52:09 The Power of Resurrection and PerseveranceShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

As one year ends and another begins, many pause to look backward and forward. We'll do that on a deep historical scale with today's guest, PETER TURCHIN, author of END TIMES. In 2010, when Nature magazine asked for a ten-year forecast, he predicted that America was in a spiral of social disintegration that would lead to collapse of the political order. “Political breakdown, from the Roman Empire to the Russian revolution, follows a clear pattern: workers' wages stagnate while elites multiply.” This echoes Plato's assertion that democracy inevitably leads to tyranny - the rich always want to get richer and the poor will follow a demagogue who promises to overthrow the rich.

Welcome to Episode 313 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Last week we began to close in on the end of our coverage of Tusculan Disputations, and one of the points made last week was that while a lot of philosophy can be viewed by non-specialists as a word game, there are deep differences in the foundations of the different schools that lead to dramatically different conclusions about how to live. The words can begin to blur together, and the definition-games can become tedious, but it is extremely important to know what is behind the analysis of any viewpoint in order to judge the ultimate result.This issue of whether virtue is the only good, or whether virtue is sufficient for happiness, has tremendous practical implications. Who or what gets to decide what "good" is? Who or what gets to decide what "virtue" is? Who or what gets to decide what "happiness" is? Behind the Stoic / Platonic / non-Epicurean viewpoint is this idea that there are supernatural gods, or supernatural ideal forms, to which we should look to tell us what to do rather than the sense of pleasure and pain which Nature gives to each of us individually. The choice of school you choose to follow is therefore going to have tremendous implications on your life individually, socially, religiously, politically, and in probably every way imaginable.https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4867-episode-313-td40-diagnosing-when-words-are-empty-of-meaning/

This episode covers: • Trump Drug Pricing Deals and Access to Longevity Medications New drug-pricing agreements announced under President Donald Trump aim to lower the cost of high-priced prescription drugs through negotiated rebates and pricing pressure on major pharmaceutical companies. Early reporting suggests these changes could affect cardiometabolic and longevity-relevant medications, including GLP-1 diabetes and obesity drugs. Dave explains why the real question is not headline savings, but whether lower prices actually reach patients at the pharmacy counter. He breaks down how affordability shapes real-world access, adherence, and long-term prevention strategies, and why policy decisions can matter more than new mechanisms when it comes to sustainable longevity care. Source: https://longevity.technology/news/trump-sets-new-drug-pricing-deals-with-big-pharma/ • 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Outperforms Daily Dieting on Metabolic Health A controlled study compared three popular strategies in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes: 5:2 intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous daily calorie restriction. All approaches improved weight and HbA1c, but the 5:2 protocol produced larger reductions in fasting glucose, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Dave explains why periodic restriction can outperform constant dieting, how to structure fasting days without tanking performance, and how to pair intermittent fasting with CGM data and training schedules for better metabolic flexibility and long-term health. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm Full paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-32673-9 • Cocoa's Theobromine Linked to Slower Epigenetic Aging New research highlighted by Aging-US suggests that theobromine, a bioactive compound found in cocoa, is associated with epigenetic markers of slower biological aging. Dave breaks down what epigenetic aging clocks actually measure, why this finding adds credibility to cocoa's cardiometabolic benefits, and why most chocolate products cancel out the upside with sugar and ultra-processing. He explains how to think about food-derived bioactives without turning them into hype-driven anti-aging shortcuts. Source: https://www.aging-us.com/news-room/theobromine-from-cocoa-linked-to-slower-biological-aging • Organ-Specific Biological Age Clocks Predict Disease Risk More Accurately A large Nature study built biological aging clocks for individual organs using blood-based proteomics, showing that organ-specific aging predicts disease and mortality better than a single “bio age” number. Dave explains why you can be biologically young overall but still have an aging brain, arteries, or kidneys, and how this reframes longevity from generic anti-aging to targeted organ protection. He explores how sleep, blood pressure, glucose control, and exercise map differently to different organs, and why precision aging metrics are the future of prevention. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-025-01016-8 • Copper Peptides and the Rise of Skin Longevity Copper peptides like GHK-Cu are moving from niche skincare into serious longevity conversations. Human data show strong effects on collagen synthesis, barrier repair, and wound healing, in some cases outperforming traditional retinoids. Dave explains why skin is not just cosmetic but a key immune and environmental interface, how copper peptides fit into repair-focused protocols, and why cycling repair and stress mirrors smarter approaches to training and recovery across the body.

CLODIA'S PRIVILEGE AND CICERO'S AMBITION Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin introduces Clodia, a privileged woman from an ancient Roman family on Palatine Hill. He contrasts her aristocratic, independent nature—manifested in her name spelling—with the rise of Cicero, a talented outsider. Boin frames their eventual conflict as a clash between established power and ambitious newcomers. NUMBER 13
THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR Colleague Max Boot. Boot reflects on Reagan's legacy, noting his "genial and aloof" personality rooted in childhood trauma. He discusses the superficial nature of Reagan's diaries, his economic record aided by Paul Volcker, and his unassuming nature, exemplified by a story about an uncomfortable chair he refused to complain about. NUMBER 8 1927
Each day, millions of doctors write prescriptions for drugs intended to help their patients. But what if many of our modern health ailments, like depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, would benefit as much, if not more, from a social prescription? What if nature, art, movement, and service could reduce our symptoms, decrease doctor visits, and improve our health? These are questions Julia Hotz set out to answer. Julia is author of the book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. By sharing research findings, as well as people's stories from around the world, we get to see a whole other side of medicine. After reading her book, I'm more convinced than ever we need to seek out and prioritize healthy social time.

As Sheryl and Victoria lean into the rhythm of the holiday season, resting and connecting with family at the end of the year, we invite you to return to our most-listened to episode of 2025. * * * “Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.” --Gabrielle. Roth Our heartbeat. Our breath. Our steps along the sidewalk. Our life happens in rhythms--breath by breath, heartbeat by heartbeat, step by step. We move in and out of seasons, feel a shift in tempo as our energy levels ebb and flow, fall into connection and disconnection with those around us. In today's episode, we are exploring what it means to "live in the rhythm" of life, why it can be so hard in our contemporary culture, and how turning towards the natural world can invite us back into a dance that is humane and enlivening.

This blog post delves into the insights from a thought-provoking podcast that reveals how our daily lives are engineered to keep us both useful and docile, turning our attention into a commodity for profit.Main Content:Understanding the Predators: The podcast opens with a stark reminder that civilization, as we know it, often functions like a predator, hunting for our attention and compliance. The host highlights how algorithms are meticulously designed to understand our behaviors, keeping us in a perpetual state of distraction and dependence. For instance, Netflix has invested years in perfecting its interface to ensure that users experience dopamine spikes with each autoplayed episode, replacing genuine thought with mindless consumption.The Illusion of Choice: We often believe we are making conscious choices, but the reality is that many of our actions are influenced by external forces. The host points to the example of recycling, where companies like Amazon rebrand waste to make consumers feel virtuous while continuing harmful practices. This manipulation extends to our wellness apps, which, while promising inner peace, actually profit from our personal data, affecting our financial well-being through increased insurance premiums based on our stress patterns.The Theater of Revolt: In a society where outrage is a currency, the podcast discusses how many protests and acts of rebellion are mere performances. Influencers tweet about social injustices while benefiting from the very systems they criticize. This hypocrisy serves as a distraction, keeping us engaged but ultimately powerless against the predictability that corporations seek in our behavior.Redefining Freedom: Real freedom, as the podcast suggests, comes from recognizing the systems that seek to control us. It requires us to embrace sovereignty and the courage to walk alone when necessary. The host challenges listeners to reflect on their dependencies: if familiar comforts vanished overnight, would we be lost or liberated? This introspection is crucial for understanding what truly defines our identities.Finding Your Guideposts: The podcast encourages listeners to confront their fears, anxieties, and guilt—not as enemies, but as guideposts that reveal where external pressures are strongest. The emotions we often suppress are indicators of the predators lurking within our minds. By acknowledging these feelings, we can begin to dismantle the control they have over us.Conclusion: The journey toward true freedom involves sharpening our attention and reclaiming our autonomy from the societal predators that seek to manipulate us. By recognizing and addressing our dependencies, we can emerge more authentic and empowered. As we reset our perspectives tomorrow, let us focus on honing our awareness, one step at a time.Key Takeaways:- Civilization often acts as a predator, manipulating our attention for profit.- Many choices we believe are ours are influenced by external forces.- True freedom requires recognizing and confronting the systems of control.- Emotions like fear and guilt can guide us toward reclaiming our sovereignty.Tags: Modern Civilization, Freedom, Personal Growth, Technology Manipulation, Awareness, Authenticity, Societal Control, Emotional Intelligence.

In this episode of Heart 2 Talk, Theresa Cesare explores the energy of limitless abundance and how it goes far beyond holiday gifts or material wealth. She explains that abundance begins as an internal state of feeling supported, worthy, and connected to an always‑providing universe, rather than a number in a bank account.Theresa breaks down how a scarcity mindset quietly shrinks our desires, opportunities, and ability to receive, then shares how shifting into abundance transforms our relationships, decisions, and capacity to hold more. Through reflections, affirmations, and practical tips, listeners are guided to circulate abundance with gratitude, compliments, boundaries, and presence in everyday life. This episode is designed as a timeless reset you can return to anytime you're ready to remember that you are the channel of abundance in your own lifeTakeawaysLimitless abundance is an internal state, not a bank balance.Abundance is about feeling supported and powerful.Scarcity mindset limits our desires and opportunities.Shifting your inner energy can transform your outer world.Practicing gratitude and compliments circulates abundance.Affirmations can anchor the energy of abundance.Saying no to draining activities opens space for growth.Nature serves as a reminder of the abundance around us.You are the channel for abundance in your life.Abundance is about alignment with the universe's flow.Links (click below)Affirmation Card Deck(use code "podcast" at check out for 15% off)FREE Everyday Affirmations EbookBecome Magnetic MasterclassSupport the show
What do technical renderings of plant cells in trees have to do with Disney's animated opus Fantasia? Quite a bit, as it turns out: such emergent scientific models and ideas about nature were an important inspiration for Disney's groundbreaking animated realism. In Drawn to Nature: American Animation in the Age of Science (University of Minnesota Press, 2025), Dr. Colin Williamson presents a vivid portrait of how developments in biology, physics, and geology between 1900 and the long 1960s influenced not just Disney but the American cartoon industry as a whole. Drawing on original research on the scientific appetites of animators and studios such as Winsor McCay, the Fleischer Brothers, Walt Disney, and United Productions of America, Dr. Williamson opens new avenues for understanding the history and aesthetics of cartoons. Interrogating the differences between art and science and reconsidering the realms of dream, magic, and fantasy as they pertain to pop culture, he yields novel proposals for bridging longstanding divides between animation, live-action cinema, and the history of science. Drawn to Nature not only illuminates the extent to which animators have drawn on scientific insights, it also considers seriously how commercial animations themselves participate in scientific discourse. It revises and revitalizes our existing narratives about the history of American animation to uncover the many ways science informs our collective cultural imagination. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

If you feel like you're living at hummingbird speed—heart racing, always “behind,” never quite done—this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Eryn Lynum is back for her second appearance, and she brings the kind of gentle, sturdy wisdom about how all of nature rests and prepares to rest. Through the stunning design of creation Eryn helps us see what we've forgotten: rest isn't a reward for finishing everything. It's part of the design. It's how we were meant to live. Together, Ginny and Eryn talk about Sabbath in a real-life family rhythm—preparing for it, protecting it, and letting it become the day that reconnects you to God and the people you love most. They explore “Selah pauses,” seasons of waiting , and the quiet truth nature keeps repeating: everything fruitful has a rhythm. If you're heading into a new year craving calm, clarity, and a pace that actually feels sustainable, press play—then share this one with a friend who's running on fumes, and leave a quick review so more families can find it.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're ping-ponging between “medical science is incredible” and “we are absolutely doomed (pun intended).”First up: researchers in Japan isolated a gut bacterium from Japanese tree frogs that, in a preclinical mouse model, showed shockingly strong anti-tumor results against colorectal cancer—the kind of headline that makes you whisper, “Nature… what else you hiding in there?” (Answer: apparently a lot.)Then we pivot to the most important scientific breakthrough since fire: rats trained to play DOOM… and now they've learned how to shoot demons using a custom lever setup. Yes, really. Somewhere a lab coat just gained a Metallica patch.It's a weird news buffet of frog-gut cancer research, DOOM-playing rodents, and the comforting reminder that the future is equal parts miracle and chaos.Links & Resources
Dr. Jacques Vallée seems to have a talent for being in the right place at the right time. He was a newcomer at a French observatory when he saw evidence of a UFO incident being tossed aside, and it ignited a lifelong interest in the phenomenon. He was at Northwestern University working on a precursor version of what evolved into the internet, earned his PhD in what we now know as artificial intelligence. And he was on the ground in Silicon Valley, guiding investments in companies and ideas that revolutionized modern technology. Throughout the different phases of his life, he's maintained an abiding interest in the UFO mystery. His work inspired the Lacombe character in Steven Spielberg's monumental film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Vallée worked hand in hand with Dr. J. Allen Hynek during and after the infamous Project Blue Book program, has written the most influential books in the history of the UFO subject, was directly involved with research that led to classified projects to train remote viewers, and later had an essential role in Robert Bigelow's groundbreaking organization (NIDS) as well as the DIA's classified investigation AAWSAP. So, what is he focusing on these days? Is a form of disclosure on the way? Can Congress force the secret keepers to divulge what they know? Vallée has acknowledged that UFO crashes are real, as are crash retrieval operations, but where are the retrieved articles stored and studied, including the Trinity craft he spent years investigating? In this wide-ranging interview, Jeremy and George ask Ufology's most serious thinker and writer to address the thorniest issues now facing Congress, the public, and science itself in trying to understand the multiple layers of secrecy and confusion that continue to befuddle scientists, governments, and everyone with a serious interest in figuring out the truth. Dr. Vallée also describes the most significant roadblocks that remain today, and offers advice on how we might move forward. The conversation is long, complex, and serious, much like Vallée himself.

We're calling BS on the idea that “health” is only pills, trackers, and willpower. In this conversation with journalist and TEDx speaker Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, we dig into social prescribing—evidence-based referrals to movement, nature, art, service, and belonging—that can lower stress, boost mood, and make our lives feel human again. Edgy truth: we've replaced community with convenience. The remedy? Re-connect to what matters to you and let your nervous system exhale. Julia advises Social Prescribing USA and Walk with a Doc, collaborates with the Solutions Journalism Network, and teaches in medical schools—turning research on connection into care that actually changes lives. We cover: What social prescribing actually is (no, your doctor isn't forcing you to make friends) and why up to 80% of health is socially determined—think stress, access to green space, and community, not just clinic time. The five social-Rx categories: Movement, Nature, Art, Service, Belonging—and how most prescriptions blend at least two. A nature-based case study: how a 10-week outdoors program reduced insomnia, rumination, and stress—plus why time in nature can feel like it gives you time back. From “shoulds” to want to: questions that surface your personal Rx (awe/flow/glimmers, what lit you up as a kid, and where you'd spend two extra hours a week). Turning workouts into joy: travel-style discovery walks at home, walking groups, or pickup games that deliver cardio and connection. Blue-zones energy without the gym membership: everyday movement, long chats, shared meals, and community as longevity multipliers. The U.S. landscape: why social prescriptions can complement meds (not replace them), and how orgs like Social Prescribing USA and Walk with a Doc are moving this forward. So whether your version of medicine looks like a morning hike, a pottery class, or finally joining that book club, the point isn't perfection—it's participation. Because when we choose connection over isolation and curiosity over compliance, we're not just improving our health—we're reclaiming our humanity. Thank you to our sponsors!

What if your diagnosis is not a life sentence, but an invitation to rebuild your health, identity, and purpose from the ground up? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Ryan Lazarus, Functional Medicine Practitioner, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 788, to reveal how surviving a near death experience without a pancreas shattered medical labels, reshaped his beliefs about healing, and led him to a holistic blueprint that integrates mindset, food as medicine, trauma stored in DNA, mental fitness, connection, and purpose as the true foundations of lifelong health.
In this engaging Q&A episode of Unashamed Unafraid, the hosts dive deep into various questions sent by listeners surrounding addiction, recovery, and spirituality.

Our story tonight is called Candlewalk, and it's a story about a special Holiday tradition in downtown Nothing Much. It's also about tea lights and snow shovels, Christmas cookies, and cocoa, keeping warm in a thermos. A smiley face on a sticky note, voices in harmony, and a winding, forgotten alley where light begins to shine. Subscribe to our Premium channel. The first two months are on us.
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 186 The dialectic is ultimately the engine of all Marxist and Hegelian thought and also underlies Fascism and the conflict between Fascism and Marxism. It is also fundamentally Sociological Alchemy, as the Soviets both knew and admitted. Based on Marx's ideas about dialectical materialism as the fundamental law of all of Nature, including Man, the Soviets outlined three key dialectical laws and taught them to every school child and party member. First, there is the transformation of quantity into quality, and vice-versa. Second, there is the struggle and unification of opposites. Third, there is the "negation of the negation," which most people know as "problem, reaction, solution" in practice. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay introduces these three dialectical laws of Marxist and Soviet thought and brings them alive for you while comparing them to the social alchemy of George Soros and the ancient wizardry that tried to turn lead into gold.
