As much of the northern U.S. shivers through subzero wind chills, this episode argues that waiting for ideal conditions is exactly what keeps most people from ever establishing durable mobility habits at all.We touch on the psychology of habit formation, explaining why starting a walking routine during perfect weather in May or September sets you up for abandonment when conditions change. If you can walk in January, February becomes manageable. March feels like a gift. By the time summer arrives, the habit is unshakeable. We draw parallels to gym routines built during breaks that collapse when real schedules resume, and make the pitch that the key to year-round walking isn't willpower — it's starting when it's hard and letting everything else feel easy by comparison.We also touch on: Why the most walkable cities are often in harsh climates. The social layer of walking with friends in cold weather. How small tasks become accomplishments when the weather is terrible. And, what to expect from the show in 2026.*Obviously, use good judgement when walking in extreme cold. Be safe out there, and layer up.

Negative self-talk isn't just annoying — it can quietly shape our decisions, confidence, and impact our mental health. But what if silencing that inner critic isn't about positive affirmations, gratitude journals, or pretending everything is fine?In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with former NBC and CNN Headline News anchor and author Lynn Smith to unpack what negative self-talk really is, why our brains cling to it, and how to reframe it without slipping into toxic positivity. Lynn explains how the brain is wired to protect us through fear-based thinking, why perfectionism and “being realistic” often mask self-sabotage, and how resilience, not positivity, is the skill we actually need. Listener takeaways why negative self-talk is rooted in brain wiring, not personal failure the difference between realistic problem-solving and self-sabotaging thoughts why toxic positivity often backfires what “just keep going” looks like during truly hard moments Together, Gabe and Lynn challenge common mental health clichés, discuss why we should teach resilience earlier in life, and explore what “just keep going” really means when you're trying to get through the next hour — not the next 5 years. If you've ever felt stuck between brutal self-criticism and empty optimism, this conversation offers a realistic, compassionate path forward.“Anyone that might be thinking, I'm just not going to go for the thing because it's easier to stay safe. If you don't raise your hand, if you don't unmute, if you don't turn your video on, all of those things are a lot safer. So to you, I would say, imagine your life five years from now and it looks exactly the same. Five years from now you're stuck in that same place…”~Lynn Smith, Former CNN Headline News anchor Our guest, Lynn Smith, is a media and communication expert who helps high-level leaders turn pressure into presence. A former anchor for NBC News, MSNBC, and CNN Headline News, she now coaches Fortune 500 executives, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs to become magnetic communicators. As founder of Lynn Smith Media & Communications, she helps leaders ditch robotic scripts and deliver messages that move people to action. Her signature framework, The Magnetic CODE, builds trust, clarity, and influence. Lynn is also a keynote speaker, host of the award-winning podcast Strollercoaster, and author of the upcoming children's book Just Keep Going. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

Getting feedback used to make my chest tighten. I'd spend so much energy trying to live a life where I'd never have to hear that I let someone down or disappointed them. The problem? That's impossible. You will inevitably get feedback as a coach and as a business owner.So you need to get good at it. Not just operationally, but emotionally.This episode walks through the three mindset shifts that change how you receive feedback, plus the actual systems we use at my companies to automate and analyze feedback without it derailing an entire day or week. What's important to remember is that you get to choose what you think of the feedback you receive. Feedback isn't fact or truth necessarily. It's just an opinion, an observation, or a thought.The choice you make about which feedback gets your energy is entirely up to you. Don't let one negative comment spiral you out of control while barely registering the positive ones. Instead, appreciate positive reviews and feedback more deeply so you can stay grounded when the negative ones come in.This week, we're covering how to automate your feedback process so it doesn't hit your inbox unexpectedly, when and how to review it, what questions to ask yourself when analyzing whether to act on it, and why the customer isn't always right. That last one matters more than you think when you're trying to build a sustainable business.If feedback makes your stomach ache or your palms sweat, this episode will help you build the operational and emotional shields you need.Links & Resources:How to Create Buy-in - Free WorkshopJoin the Facebook groupFinancial Coach Academy enrollmentKey Takeaways:You get to choose what you think of the feedback you receive. Feedback isn't fact or truth necessarily; it's just an opinion, observation, or thought. You decide what to make of it.Negative feedback doesn't have to be louder than positive feedback. Which feedback gets your thoughts and energy is entirely up to you. It's your choice.You will get feedback, so you might as well get good at it. Once you accept this is inevitable, your mind shifts from trying to prevent it to learning how to be ready for it operationally and emotionally.Never make changes based on one person's feedback. Note it, but wait to see if others bring up the same thing. Over-tweaking costs you time, money, and business momentum.Ask: Is something wrong, or is this a personal preference? This prevents over-optimizing. Nice-to-have ideas go on a list and get prioritized. Broken things get fixed.Is there merit to this feedback? This softer question makes analysis easier than asking if feedback is "right" or "wrong;” you can find merit in pieces even when the full feedback stings.The customer isn't always right. Sometimes you've already considered what they're asking for and chose not to do it. That's okay. Feedback needs to be weighed against values, resources, and other priorities.

What if the thing holding you back isn't clarity, confidence, or capability, but whether you trust yourself enough to decide?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to explore the quiet moment where bold vision often stalls: the moment of decision. It's the space between knowing what you want and choosing it. When certainty fades, the stakes feel real, and your choice may affect others. Tiffany reflects on stepping away from a role she had mastered and what it's been like to rebuild belief while leading something new without guaranteed outcomes.Together, Tiffany and Brian examine why capable, high-performing leaders hesitate even when the vision is clear. They discuss how outside feedback and “reasonable” caution can erode self-trust, and why waiting for proof keeps leaders stuck in incremental thinking. Brian offers a different path: decide first, trust your history, and stay committed even when discomfort and doubt show up.You'll walk away with a framework to:Recognize when you're outsourcing belief instead of owning itSeparate helpful data from fear-based feedbackDecide before the path is fully visibleStay committed when growth creates friction for you and othersWish you could talk it out with BK?

In this episode, you explain how thoughts are not harmless but act as biochemical instructions that can either support healing or keep the body stuck in stress and illness. You connect mindset with physiology—stress hormones, sleep, inflammation, and even gene expression—and encourage listeners to consciously choose more supportive inner dialogue, explore epigenetics (e.g., Dr. Bruce Lipton's work), and consider coaching to rewire their neural networks. Key Points Thoughts act as biochemical instructions in the body Chronic negative self-talk raises stress hormones (e.g., cortisol) High cortisol disrupts melatonin and healthy sleep Negative thinking keeps the body inflamed and blocks healing Inner dialogue is as important as nutrition and supplements Beliefs can shape physiological outcomes and health Thoughts and environment influence gene expression (epigenetics) The reticular activating system (RAS) filters reality to match beliefs Reframing with "What if that wasn't true?" opens new perspectives Choosing positive thoughts helps healing vs. staying sick and stuck Coaching can help rewire neural networks and shift mindset Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Episode Summary: How to Survive a Toxic Workplace — Part 6 of the Paralegal Survival Toolkit In this episode of the Paralegal Coach Podcast, Ann Pearson continues the Paralegal Survival Toolkit series with a topic that hits close to home for many legal professionals: how to survive a toxic workplace. Get the free companion workbook for the Paralegal Survival Toolkit. Ann acknowledges what so many paralegals quietly carry - the stress of unhealthy office dynamics, confusing politics, gossip, favoritism, and cultures that make Sunday nights miserable. Drawing from her own experience in a firm with intense internal politics, she explains a hard truth: it's not your job to fix workplace culture, but it is your job to learn how to navigate it so you can protect your energy, your reputation, and your career. Throughout the episode, Ann emphasizes that feeling out of place doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Often, it simply means you're adjusting to a culture that never explained the rules. By observing first, choosing carefully who you trust, setting boundaries around gossip, and making intentional choices about your future, paralegals can stay focused on growth - even in difficult environments. Tony Sipp Episode mentioned by Ann in this episode: https://paralegal-bootcamp.com/paralegalpodcast-episode115/ Key Takeaways: You are not the problem If a workplace feels tense, chaotic, or unwelcoming, it doesn't mean you're failing. Often, you're simply adjusting to a culture that never explains its rules. Observe before you engage When you're new, take time to study the landscape. Notice who shares knowledge, who hoards it, who stirs drama, and who consistently acts with professionalism. Negative energy is contagious Spending time with constant complainers can slowly change how you see a job you might otherwise love. Decide your next step intentionally Every situation leads to one of three choices: grow, shift how you navigate, or exit. You don't have to stay somewhere that makes you miserable. Workplace culture affects career growth Healthy environments accelerate learning and confidence. Toxic ones slow both.

Dr. Melissa O’Neal, ID Clinical Pharmacist at Tampa General Hospital, provides an overview of gram negative resistance in this fast-paced presentation. Dr. O’Neal begins by describing the general mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, including cell-wall dependent mechanisms and chromosomal mechanisms. She covers the alteration of membrane porins, over expression of efflux pumps, mutations of drug binding sites, and the production of enzymes that degrade antimicrobials. Next, the speaker covers the beta-lactamases, enzymes that degrade beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. The Ambler class classification system is also covered, which offers a helpful way to differentiate the beta-lactamases by type of antimicrobial affected. Amp C resistance is also reviewed, and examples are provided, Lastly, specific bacterial resistance mechanisms are reviewed by each gram negative organism in order to help with knowledge retention.

What if the reason weight loss feels so hard isn't lack of willpower, but lack of balance? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD explores the concept of yin and yang through an unexpected yoga class, and how a gentler, more sustainable approach to weight loss can reduce burnout, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing thinking.

If You Thought This Was Bad Including deep hypnosis If you thought this was bad… it isn't. And that's actually good news. In this deeper dive, I'm talking honestly about what happens when life feels overwhelming, when things get pushed down instead of talked through, and why "suck it up, buttercup" is one of the biggest myths we've ever been sold in personal development. This episode is about not being broken, even when you feel like you are. It's about understanding that feeling low, anxious, lost, or like a failure is not the end — it's a starting point. A platform to move from, not a prison to live in. Inside this episode, we explore: Why suppressing emotions only makes things worse How feeling "not good enough" can actually be the best place to begin change The difference between pity and genuine support Why imagination is one of your most powerful tools for transformation How to reconnect with the best version of you — even if you can't see it yet And embedded within this episode is a deep guided hypnosis / guided imagery process designed to help you: Let go of limiting beliefs and emotional weight Reconnect with your inner strengths and qualities Experience what it feels like to be your best self Begin acting as if change is already underway You don't need to be "fixed". You don't need to be perfect. You just need the right tools — and a bit of encouragement. What You'll Experience A safe, grounded hypnosis process (eyes closed, no distractions) Powerful imagery to reconnect you with confidence, ease, and self-belief A reminder that growth doesn't have to be hard — it can be fun Practical encouragement to start using the tools you already have And I've got your back.

In this episode, we explore what it means to grant legal rights and who ultimately bears the cost when governments expand them, starting with Peru's decision to recognize rights for stingless bees and moving into a broader discussion of negative versus positive rights. We examine labor shortages in skilled trades, the unintended consequences of vacancy taxes, and common misunderstandings about loans, insurance, and debt. The conversation then turns to credit scores, interest rates, student loans, and moral hazard, including how incentives shape borrowing behavior and higher education choices.

The Space Show Presents A Special Open Lines Discussion, Sunday, 1-11-26Quick summaryThis program focused on discussing space industry developments and future predictions for 2026, with participants exploring topics like advancements in AI, robotics, and space technology. They debated the influence of private sector leaders like Elon Musk and Eric Schmidt on space policy and innovation, while also examining educational requirements needed to support future space endeavors. The group discussed the potential for breakthroughs in propulsion and energy solutions, as well as the search for extraterrestrial life, though they agreed current technologies would not yield significant results by 2026. The conversation concluded with reflections on how space advocacy might evolve over the next decade, particularly as costs decrease and more private sector involvement emerges.SummaryOur program got underway by discussing Dr. Phil Metzger's list of 20-21 important developments for the space industry in 2026, with John Jossy presenting key items. The discussion highlighted significant developments such as declining launch costs, reusable rocket technology, satellite broadband constellations, and AI-driven applications of satellite data. Negative impacts were also discussed, including supply chain volatility for semiconductors and potential delays in mega constellations due to AI demand and export rules. The Wisdom Team also touched on upcoming programs, including a special edition of the space show and a new Tuesday program featuring a CEO from a European company.We discussed Elon Musk's vision for medical robots and AI, with Marshall expressing both optimism and discomfort about the rapid pace of technological advancement. They explored Musk's plans for Starlink satellites, including in-space maintenance and potential cost savings, though settlement on Mars and the Moon was not extensively discussed. The conversation covered broader topics including AI's impact on labor, universal basic income, and the role of education in a changing world, with John Jossy noting that the discussion was part of Peter Diamandis' Moonshot podcast series.I believe that a valuable part of our overall discussion looked at the influence of innovative leaders in the space sector, with Manuel expressing concerns about the dominance of a few individuals, while David and John Jossy highlighted the need for ethical regulations and oversight. They debated the challenges of supervising innovative leaders like Elon Musk and David Sachs, with John Jossy emphasizing Sachs's role in advising the administration on AI regulations. Marshall agreed with David's point about the difficulty of overseeing geniuses, suggesting that market forces often limit harmful innovations. The part of the program concluded with a discussion on the future of space, including the role of private sectors and state actors, and the potential for partnerships between governments and the private sector.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed future space exploration and technology developments over the next 10 years. Ryan predicted increased automation and robotics in orbital operations, while Marshall envisioned multiple lunar bases and the construction of space cities for manufacturing and AI development. David noted the absence of discussion on breakthrough propulsion technologies and emphasized the need for innovations that could benefit humanity on Earth. John Hunt mentioned Jared Isaacman's interest in nuclear propulsion for NASA, and Marshall suggested that nuclear fusion could be developed and used for space exploration, though primarily for pushing exploratory satellites.Future space technology and innovation was a topic, focusing on the potential of fusion energy, space solar power, and reduced costs for launching payloads to low Earth orbit (LEO). Marshall highlighted the significance of Starship Block 3, which is expected to significantly lower the cost per kilogram to LEO, enabling more projects and innovations. John Jossy mentioned ongoing developments in wireless power transmission and space-based solar power for AI data centers. David raised questions about the dependency of space innovation on government policies, suggesting a needed potential relationship between public sector support and private sector progress. The group agreed that 2026 could mark a significant breakthrough in space technology, driven by advancements in Starship and reduced launch costs.W also pointed to the potential political influence on emerging technologies, particularly in sectors like transportation and communications, with Ryan noting the significant financial interests at play. Marshall highlighted the challenges of adapting government agencies to innovations like robo-taxis and robo-airplanes, predicting major shifts in how air traffic control and state regulations function. John Jossy emphasized AI as the primary driver of current innovation, citing its impact on industries and venture capital investments, while Marshall and David agreed that AI development is closely linked to changes in energy production and societal education. David stressed the need for a strong educational foundation to support advancements in space and AI, expressing concern about the United States' declining educational performance compared to countries like China and Japan.The Wisdom Team discussed educational challenges in the United States, with John Jossy emphasizing the need to address root causes of poor educational outcomes at local and state levels. Manuel shared examples from Peru and Europe, including a public sector initiative for high-performing students and apprenticeship programs, while John Hunt noted increased STEM requirements in Missouri schools. The discussion highlighted the importance of educating competent individuals to meet future innovation and technology demands, with no clear consensus on specific solutions.The group discussed educational changes over time, with David and Marshall sharing their experiences with calculus and practical applications. They explored the possibility of using AI to improve education systems. The conversation then shifted to the search for extraterrestrial life, with John Jossy stating that current technologies are not advanced enough to detect extraterrestrial life in 2026. The group also discussed the recent announcement by Eric Schmidt of Relativity Space regarding funding for a replacement for the Hubble Space Telescope and three additional telescopes, with a projected cost of at least half a billion dollars. Finally, David posed a question about the future of space advocacy over the next 5-10 years, but the group did not reach a consensus on this topic.Also discussed were future trends in space advocacy and conferences, with Marshall suggesting that in 10 years, conferences might focus more on financing and promoting personal space projects rather than academic presentations. Dr. Zubrin's potential future involvement in space advocacy was mentioned, noting that at 74, he could continue his Mars advocacy work for another 20-25 years. The conversation ended with David announcing upcoming guests for the show, including Guy Schumann from Luxembourg, and a discussion about foreign spaceports, with Mark Whittington preparing a program about international spaceport developments.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Something To Think About Series #296 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin
In this episode, we explore how our thoughts directly influence our biology through stress chemistry, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity. Drawing on the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, the conversation reframes illness as something we can influence through our mindset. You'll hear practical tools—like better questions, emotional anchor words, and healing visualizations—to shift from chronic stress into a state of safety, gratitude, and calm, so your thoughts send healing signals instead of stress signals to your body. Key Points: Thoughts act as biochemical instructions to the body Illness is not only aging or genetics; mindset matters Negative thoughts trigger stress chemicals like real danger Neuroplasticity: repeated thoughts strengthen brain pathways Chronic worry and self-criticism lock in stress patterns Choosing optimism trains the brain to see what's good Replace "Why me?" with "What does my body need now?" Problem-solving questions calm the nervous system Pick a daily emotional anchor word (e.g., calm, safe) Anchor words help lower stress hormones Use vivid visualization of your body healing and flowing The brain responds to imagined events like real ones You always have a choice: stress signals or healing signals Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Dare To Dream with Debbi Dachinger Dana Kippel: The Hidden Architecture of Reality Dana Kippel joins Debbi Dachinger for a deep dive into plasma consciousness, intuition, and the invisible forces shaping reality itself. In this episode, Dana reveals why plasma the most abundant state of matter in the universe may also be the bridge between consciousness, timelines, and human potential. Together, they explore the Foundation field, how intuition operates beyond linear time, and why encounters labeled as shadow beings, hostile UFOs, or negative entities may be misunderstood interactions within a living multidimensional universe. If you've ever sensed that reality is far stranger, smarter, and more alive than we've been taught, this conversation will radically expand how you see creation, magic, and your role within it.

She furthered her career and had the opportunity to be in Erotica Films on HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. She is also the cofounder of “Adult Film Star Network” which educates people in the adult industry. In this episode, we talk about how Rebecca got into pornography. We tackle assumptions people make about sex workers, negative attitudes toward sex and sex workers, what sex workers really need from society and politicians. We also discuss the behavior of hypocrites who say they are against sex work, patronizing attitudes toward sex workers, and how sex workers can be humanized. Finally, we talk about Rebecca's Adult Film Star Network, sex education and female sexual pleasure, and whether sex workers need any saving.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Hollywood, we need to talk. If one more movie shows an eyeball dangling from someone's cheek, I might start mailing anatomy textbooks to Los Angeles. And while we're at it, can we please stop calling every wandering eye a “lazy eye”? After a quick rant about my personal ophthalmology pet peeves, I dive into one of the strangest mystery cases I've ever seen: a 47-year-old with sudden, complete ophthalmoplegia and normal imaging. Negative myasthenia testing, normal pupils, normal MRI, nothing made sense until one very specific antibody came back positive. Takeaways: Why “lazy eye” rarely means what people think it means and what the term actually refers to. The Hollywood eyeball trope that needs to be banned forever (optical nerves are short, folks). How a patient with zero eye movement and a normal MRI sent us searching for rare neuro clues. Why myasthenia gravis seemed like the obvious answer until every serology test came back negative.

In the first episode of 2026, Eldra sits down with Justin Smith for a candid conversation about negative emotion, honesty, and spiritual growth without performance. Justin shares how his childhood—marked by poverty, a status-driven community, and his father's struggle with manic depression—shaped his lifelong interest in helping people face emotional pain more honestly. Together, they explore why so many self-help and spiritual approaches fall short, and why honesty, community, and shared experience may be the most powerful tools we have. Justin also introduces This Life, an experimental app designed to help people confront negative emotion through reflection and connection—without pressure, polish, or pretending.
In this episode of Own Your Power, the focus is on how negative experiences can become powerful catalysts for growth. It explores the concept of post traumatic growth and how adversity, loss, and hardship can lead to deeper appreciation for life, stronger relationships, new purpose, and personal strength when approached with the right mindset. Rather than being defined by what happens to you, this conversation challenges you to reframe hardship, assign meaning to pain, and use difficult experiences as fuel to grow, serve others, and become stronger than before.

Most people would never tolerate someone speaking to them the way they speak to themselves... and yet that internal dialogue often goes unchecked. This conversation explores where negative self-talk actually comes from, why logic and reassurance rarely silence it, and how confidence is built through evidence rather than motivation or affirmations. I break down why coaches and high-achievers are especially vulnerable to an overactive inner critic, and how repeated follow-through quietly reshapes self-trust. Topics Discussed: - The inner critic explained- Negative self-talk patterns- Confidence through evidence- Follow-through and self-trust- Coaches and self-judgment- Identity versus behavior- Small actions, big impact ---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
