What is digital life doing to us—not just to our attention spans, but to our feelings and bodies? In All the Feels: How to Stay Human in the Digital World, Pamela Pavliscak explores how texts, memes, group chats, and AI are reshaping our emotional lives—and how we're inventing new ways to stay human online. Then, in Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being, Manoush Zomorodi looks at what screens and sitting are doing to our bodies, and why tiny acts of movement may be the rebellion we need.

What would more confidence actually allow you to do? In this epsiode on The Confidence Session series, I invite you to look beyond confidence itself and explore what it can lead to in your career and life. This is especially useful if you are lacking motivation or have had a difficult experience with English recently. We'll also look how the words you use before a high-pressure situation could influence how you perform. Book source: How Confidence Works, The New Science of Self Belief, Ian Robertson.

What actually makes you take action when you feel confident? In this Confidence Session, I continue breaking down how confidence works by looking at two important beliefs: “I can do it” and “it can happen.” We'll explore what happens when one of those is missing, why feeling nervous doesn't necessarily mean you lack confidence, and what this could look like in your meetings, presentations and career.  Enjoy!

Hi everyone, Jim here. We're taking a short pause on new episodes through the end of August. In the meantime, we're digging out some of our favorite conversations from the archive. This one is from February 2023, so a few of the references have aged since (mine included), but the ideas have only gotten better. Enjoy this one with the wonderfully heretical Jesse Michels. Jesse Michels is an investor at Thiel Capital and the creator and host of 'American Alchemy', a Youtube channel dedicated to highlighting the most heretical thinkers and ideas of our time. He joins the show to discuss the transmission theory of consciousness, whether mushrooms are aliens, the reawakening of the Boomers and MUCH more!

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women. Decline isn't inevitable - it's programmable. She unpacks why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) drives muscle, visceral fat and brain fog from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers - fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone - that predict where your healthspan is headed and how to change it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why women carry more circulating testosterone than estrogen, and what its decline does to muscle, visceral fat and cognition from your 30s What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signalling beneath the surface How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in What the five non-negotiable biomarkers reveal about where your healthspan is headed TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro: Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself After 35 - Peak Health, Testosterone Decline & the 30s Shift 05:52 - Perimenopause, Cortisol & Anxiety Out of Nowhere: Belly Fat, Sleep and the Caregiver Load 13:28 - Wearables, CGM & the Fasting Third/Third/Third: Measuring How Your Body Really Ages 20:11 - Who Should Actually Fast: The 3-Hour Glucose Test, Protein at Every Meal & the Oatmeal Trap 27:00 - Testosterone for Body Composition & Energy: UK Access, the 2024 Study & Protein for Muscle 33:46 - The 5 Biomarkers That Predict How You Age - Plus the 7 Patterns of Health Decline 39:37 - Decade by Decade for Women vs Men: Bone Loss, Osteoporosis, Andropause & Owning Your Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES - Invincible (Dr Comite's new book): https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/475986/invincible-by-comite-florence/9781529977066  - Dr Florence Comite's website: https://www.comitemd.com/  - Follow Dr Comite on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drflorencecomite/  AlgaeCal Plus*‡: Science-backed supplements designed to support healthy aging

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about why it is so difficult to raise families in this country. And the question of starting families is one of the unique and few spaces where the experience of women has been studied more than men. And while motherhood has attracted well-deserved attention, fatherhood has been relatively overlooked and often misunderstood.One of the researchers that has been changing this dynamic is Darby Saxbe, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. She has studied families and fathers for over two decades and just published a book, “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives.”So KALW invited her to our live event space to talk about what we've learned in the last decade about the transformative power of fatherhood. She spoke to KALW Executive Producer and proud father Ben Trefny. He begins by talking about what it was like to become a dad.

Olympic medalist turned health-tech founder Andrew Steele says the problem isn't you: it's that "normal" and "optimal" are two different things. In this episode, he breaks down how DNA, microbiome, and blood testing expose what's really behind your fatigue, brain fog, and bloating. And why one test, one time, will never tell you the full story. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN -       Why small, consistent daily habits move the needle on longevity more than big lifestyle overhauls -       How the ACTN3 gene explains why "average" training and health advice doesn't work for everyone -       What DNA methylation is, and why taking more B vitamins can backfire if you have an MTHFR variant -       Why "normal" bloodwork isn't the same as optimal health -       How the PhenoAge biological age test measures how fast you're really aging -       Why bloating and brain fog in midlife women are often linked to the estrobolome and gut bacteria -       Why microbiome and blood testing needs to be repeated over time, not done once -       The best way to prepare for accurate blood and microbiome test results -       The three biomarkers Andrew recommends testing first: methylation, gut-brain axis, and ApoB -       Why wearables alone can't give you the full picture of your health -       How Stride is integrating oral microbiome testing and wearable data -       Why data and dashboards alone don't change behavior without human coaching -       What's inside Stride's ST01 liposomal multivitamin and why it's formulated around methylation   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Small Daily Habits, Genetics And The ACTN3 Gene Story 09:35 DNA Methylation, MTHFR And Why More B Vitamins Isn't Always The Fix 13:15 Why "Normal" Bloodwork Isn't Optimal, And The Biological Age Test 20:45 The Gut-Hormone Link In Midlife Women, And Why You Need To Retest 31:00 How To Get Accurate Results, And The 3 Biomarkers Worth Testing 36:45 The Future Of Health Tracking: Wearables, Oral Microbiome And Multiomics 40:30 Stride Membership Availability And Discount Code 43:45 Why Data Alone Won't Change Your Health Without Human Coaching 46:30 Inside Stride's ST01 Supplement, And Final Thoughts On Aging Well VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsor who make the show possible: • Stride - Find out your biological age and how your daily habits are influencing it with DNA, bloodwork and microbiome testing with a Stride One membership  https://www.getstride.com/angela/ for 10% off  -       Follow Andrew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewsteele/  ABOUT THE GUEST   Andrew Steele is a former Olympic medalist sprinter turned genomics entrepreneur.

Alex Mayyasi, a longtime contributor to Planet Money and the author of Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026), and Mary Childs, a co-host of NPR's Planet Money, offers insight into making decisions on getting and spending money and why markets work the way they do.

New Science Behind Reshaping Your BodyFor decades, we've been told that reshaping our bodies comes down to one simple formula: eat less and exercise more. But what if that advice is incomplete—or even keeping you stuck?In this episode, JJ Flizanes is joined once again by cardiologist and microbiome pioneer Dr. William Davis to explore the emerging science that's changing how we think about body composition, metabolism, aging, and long-term health. Together, they challenge the outdated focus on weight loss alone and introduce a more comprehensive approach to creating a healthier, stronger, and more resilient body.You'll discover why simply losing weight isn't enough—and how protecting your muscle, restoring your gut, regulating your nervous system, and reducing inflammation are all essential pieces of the puzzle.Dr. Davis explains the fascinating connections between the gut microbiome, liver function, insulin resistance, muscle mass, and abdominal fat, while JJ shares why unresolved emotional stress and nervous system dysregulation can prevent healing even when you're eating well and exercising consistently.Whether you're trying to lose fat, improve your energy, reverse metabolic dysfunction, navigate menopause, or simply age with strength and vitality, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what's really driving your health.In This EpisodeWhy "lose weight" is an outdated and potentially harmful health goalThe difference between losing weight and reshaping your bodyHow preserving and building muscle protects your metabolism and longevityThe newly discovered gut-muscle, gut-liver, and gut-brain connectionsWhy insulin resistance begins long before diabetesThe hidden role your microbiome plays in fat storage and fatty liverWhy exercise recommendations need to be far more specific than "move more"How resistance training supports healthy aging without creating bulky musclesThe impact of chronic stress, cortisol, and fight-or-flight on digestion, fat storage, and healingWhy emotional regulation is a critical missing piece in lasting body transformationEnvironmental factors—including microplastics, PFAS, and pesticides—that may be influencing your healthPractical ways to measure progress beyond the number on the scaleHow new science is reshaping our understanding of metabolic health and longevityKey TakeawaysYour body isn't simply responding to calories in versus calories out.

In this third episode of our four-part adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Jeanne Schopf, interventionist, national literacy consultant, and editor of the new book Reading Isn't Optional: Fulfilling the Promise of Literacy for Secondary Students. Susan and Jeanne discuss why belief systems about at-risk readers are often the biggest barrier to change, and why that's true at every level of a school system. They also explore how scheduling, data, and coaching serve as system-level levers that principals and teachers can use to transform secondary literacy outcomes—and why leadership remains the single most powerful lever of all.Show notes:Our Summer Learning Academy is underway!

For years on True Birth and in their OB/GYN practice, Dr. Abdelhak & Kristin Mallon have made an unpopular argument: when a baby is measuring big, the safest move is usually to induce, not to wait. The conventional literature did not back them up, and plenty of academics pushed back with the same line every time, that induction does not lower the risk of a cesarean or a shoulder dystocia. In this episode they walk through two pieces of high level evidence that land squarely on their side, and they explain why this was common sense all along. They start with the bigger cultural point. We do not have natural pregnancies anymore, so it is unrealistic to expect a uniformly natural birth. Electricity, processed food, far fewer daily steps, and later maternal age all push birth weights up, which means more babies are simply too big to deliver without help. Kristin brings the midwife lens to this, including a frank look at the Ina May Gaskin farm numbers and what they actually showed. From there they get into the data, share a real shoulder dystocia save from the floor, and detour into the things that genuinely scare them in delivery, like postpartum hemorrhage, plus Dr. Abdelic's running theory that growth problems are usually about the cord, not the placenta. The take home is blunt. If your provider tells you the baby is measuring large, the right question is not whether to induce. It is when. What we cover Why "natural birth" is a moving target in a non natural world The Ina May Gaskin farm numbers and what they really tell us The landmark randomized trial on inducing large for date babies The brand new 2026 meta analysis on induction at 38 weeks How estimated fetal weight, the 90th and 95th percentiles, and hospital induction rules actually play out in practice A real time shoulder dystocia at the bedside, handled without the fanfare Why hemorrhage, not shoulder dystocia, is the emergency that worries them most "It is all about the cord," and why placental insufficiency is the wrong framing The difference between cervical insufficiency and true preterm labor How to filter real clinical advice from social media noise The research referenced The randomized controlled trial (the Lancet study): Boulvain M, Senat MV, Perrotin F, et al. Induction of labour versus expectant management for large for date fetuses: a randomised controlled trial. Lancet. 2015;385(9987):2600 to 2605. A pragmatic trial across 19 centers in France, Switzerland, and Belgium. Women with singleton fetuses above the 95th percentile were randomized to induction between 37 0/7 and 38 6/7 weeks or to expectant management. Induction significantly reduced the composite of shoulder dystocia and associated morbidity, relative risk 0.32, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.71, p equals 0.004, without raising the cesarean rate and with more spontaneous vaginal deliveries. The 2026 meta analysis (the AJOG MFM study): Paladino, et al. Induction at 38 weeks for large for gestational age or macrosomic fetuses decreases the incidence of cesarean delivery: meta analysis of randomized controlled trials. Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM. 2026. Five randomized trials, 4,083 pregnant individuals, most induced at 38 0/7 to 38 4/7 weeks for an estimated weight above the 90th percentile. Induction lowered the cesarean rate and cut macrosomia (relative risk 0.53 for 4,000 grams or more, and 0.22 for 4,500 grams or more). Shoulder dystocia and fetal fracture both trended down but did not reach significance, which is expected for outcomes this rare. Roughly 25 inductions in this window prevent one cesarean. Key takeaways A big baby is the single biggest risk factor for shoulder dystocia, and a baby does not get smaller between 38 and 40 weeks. The evidence now shows that inducing for a large for date baby reduces shoulder dystocia and cesarean delivery and increases the odds of a vaginal birth. If you are told your baby is measuring large, come prepared to ask for induction rather than waiting to be offered it.

Rupert speaks with Jonas Atlas about the high cost of scientific heresy and what it reveals about the gap between science's public face and its private reality. Beginning with the 1981 Nature editorial that branded A New Science of Life "a book for burning," they trace how Rupert was effectively excommunicated from mainstream science, then turn to deeper questions: how to tell genuine inquiry from pseudoscience in a "post-truth" age flooded with AI-generated theories of everything, why morphic resonance remains a hypothesis to be tested rather than a truth to be defended, and why survey evidence suggests hardcore materialism is actually a minority view among working scientists who mostly stay quiet about it.First published on the Re-visioning Religion podcast, Sep 02, 2025.https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/re-visioning-religion/About Jonas: A scholar of religion, teaching at KDG University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Jonas is also an independent researcher at the Radboud University, as a member of the Race, Religion and Secularism network.

Why does your brain feel like it's working against you when you're depressed? In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton answers deep viewer questions to unpack what is actively happening in the body and brain during depressive episodes and periods of suicidal ideation. We challenge the traditional "chemical imbalance" framework to look at the modern science of mental health: how different regions of the brain communicate, why your HPA axis can get stuck in a chronic stress response, and the clinical data pointing to systemic inflammation as a primary driver of depressive symptoms. Plus, Kati breaks down the absolute differences between clinical depression, situational sadness, grief, and passive vs. active suicidal thoughts. What We Cover: The DSM-5 Checklist: The 9 diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder. The Serotonin Myth: Why modern psychiatric research is moving away from looking at single chemical levels.

Light runs one clock in your body. Food runs a completely different set of clocks — in our gut, our liver, our metabolism. And when those two signals misalign, we can negatively influence our health. This episode digs into meal timing through the lens of chrononutrition: the real science behind when we eat, what it does to the gut microbiome, and why a late-night dinner isn't just a calorie decision. Plus: what happens to your gut's rhythm after a disrupted week, and my own decades-long, still-imperfect evolution of meal timing and the pitfalls I mostly can now avoid!   LET'S TALK THE WALK!

Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was ... wrong?Many of us have been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. In her revolutionary new book: Tell Me Where it Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to HealLeading global pain psychologist, pain scientist, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCSF School of Medicine, Dr. Rachel Zoffness is completely upending the myths we've been sold about pain.Through cutting edge neuroscience and the incredible work she's done with her patients, Dr. Zoffness is shedding light on the fact is that chronic pain is treatable. And that the foundation for effective treatment happens when we focus on the whole person--not just a body part.It happens when we begin to reconnect physical and emotional pain,And it happens when we begin to uncover the often under-discussed truth: Pain is constructed by the brain--influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. In Rachel's words: Pain is always biopsychosocial.And because of this,We have infinitely more control over pain than we might have ever imagined.This insight, and the pioneering work Dr. Zoffness is doing, Are offering what so many of us need in the face of pain: Greater agency, Hope, Possibility, And perhaps most importantly, A roadmap for healing.For more on Dr. Zoffness, her books, events, resources, and other offerings please visit zoffness.comEnjoying the show?

With input costs remaining high and profit margins under pressure, producers are increasingly looking for ways to improve productivity without simply adding more fertilizer, more irrigation, or more crop inputs. In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Chad Godsey, Chief Agronomist at Green Evolution Technologies, to discuss how growers are evaluating new technologies, why efficiency has become the new benchmark for success, and how innovations at the soil and root level may help unlock future yield gains.Chad brings a unique perspective to the conversation, combining a PhD in Agronomy and Soil Science with a lifetime of farming experience on his family's multi-generational Colorado farm. He shares how his work as a consultant across more than 100,000 acres has shaped his views on technology adoption and why today's farmers are demanding proven, measurable results before investing in new products.The discussion explores how growers are increasingly conducting their own on-farm trials to validate new technologies and why return on investment has become the deciding factor in purchasing decisions. Chad explains that while farmers have been inundated with new products in recent years, many are now focused on technologies that can consistently improve water-use efficiency and nutrient-use efficiency rather than simply promise yield increases.A major focus of the episode is Green Evolution Technologies' InteliGel hydrogel platform. Chad explains how the technology works by absorbing and storing water and nutrients within the soil profile, making them available to crops during periods of stress. He discusses how the hydrogel can be applied using existing farm equipment, reducing barriers to adoption while fitting into current farming practices.The conversation also dives into field trial results from corn and soybean production systems. Chad shares data from third-party research that demonstrated significant yield improvements and profitability gains, particularly during periods of late-season drought stress. He also discusses the potential for multi-year benefits from a single application, an important factor when evaluating long-term return on investment.Listeners will hear Chad's perspective on the challenges facing ag technology companies, including the common mistake of bringing products to market before they have been fully validated across different environments and management systems. He offers practical advice for growers evaluating new products, emphasizing the importance of establishing clear benchmarks and measuring efficiency improvements over time.Whether you're interested in water management, nutrient efficiency, precision agriculture, or the future of crop production, this episode offers valuable insights into how innovative technologies are helping farmers do more with less while maintaining profitability.Learn more about Green Evolution Technologies and InteliGel by visiting https://greenevolutiontechnologies.com, or send Chad an email with your questions to chad@hydrogel.us.Thank you to Chad Godsey for joining us on North American Ag Spotlight and sharing his expertise on the future of agricultural productivity.Send us Fan MailEcorobotix, together with DFS Finance & AgDirect, is making it easier for growers to access the ARA Ultra High Precision Sprayer.
