Podcasts about NSF

Yes, it's absolutely safe to say it. The NIH says it. The NSF says it. Even the Francis Family Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering himself admits it on the latest episode of the best podcast in higher education: In the field of rapid immunodiagnostics, one name lights up the sensors more than any other... Pengyu Chen. 

The year 2025 has seen the most aggressive moves ever by the US executive branch against scientific research as the Trump Administration has gutted federal science and regulatory agencies and cancelled billions of dollars in research grants that had already been awarded to universities. With me to discuss the Trump Administration attacks on university research is Claudia Polsky. Claudia is a clinical professor of law and the founding director of the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley.

Astronomers have discovered a companion star in an incredibly tight orbit around Betelgeuse using the NASA and U.S. National Science Foundation-funded ‘Alopeke instrument on Gemini North, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, partly funded by the NSF and operated by NSF NOIRLab. In this podcast, Dr. Steve Howell describes the possible discovery of this long sought after companion and future observations research into this type of star system.    Bios:  - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Howell has spent over 40 years as a professional astronomer. During that time, he developed digital (CCD) imaging instrumentation and data reduction techniques space and ground-based telescopes, performed research in a wide variety of astronomical areas and collaborated with hundreds of astronomers world-wide. His areas of expertise are instrumentation, interacting binaries, stellar evolution, and exoplanets. Howell's professional work has providing community service to the field of astronomy as well as formal and informal STEM education.

Host Joe DeMare talks about our global warming enhanced summer and how 90 degree water in the Gulf of Mexico is making life miserable as far north as Canada. Next he plays a montage of recordings from the 45th annual Governor's Fish Day including a press conference at the end. Rebecca Wood's piece is on the most common butterfly in the world, the Cabbage White. Ecological News includes Congress eliminating the Clean Water Act, NSF employees sending a letter decrying the politicization of science, and Australia giving away free electricity because they have so much solar power. 

Generation AI explores two major AI developments reshaping our future. First, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla break down how OpenAI and Google DeepMind models achieved gold medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad - solving problems that require creativity and multi-hour reasoning that experts thought was years away. This marks a critical step toward AGI as AI demonstrates true mathematical reasoning beyond pattern recognition. Then they analyze America's new AI Action Plan - a 25-page roadmap positioning AI as a national priority with three core pillars: accelerating innovation through deregulation, building infrastructure, and establishing governance. For higher education, this means $10-12 billion in funding opportunities, new workforce training programs, and a shift toward AI literacy across all disciplines. Universities that move fast to create bootcamps and partner with industry will capture this once-in-a-generation opportunity.AI Achieves Gold Medal at International Mathematical Olympiad (00:00:00)OpenAI and Google DeepMind models solve 5 of 6 problems at IMORepresents multi-hour reasoning and creative problem-solving capabilityUses general-purpose reinforcement learning without external toolsSignals major progress toward AGI - what experts thought was years awayThe Math Behind the Breakthrough (00:04:22)Mathematical Olympiad requires reasoning, not memorizationParticipants are the most gifted mathematics students globallyAI learned through trial-and-error reinforcement learningNo calculators or Python - pure mathematical reasoning verified by IMO medalistsGPT-5 on the Horizon (00:11:23)Combines best of GPT-4 and O3 reasoning capabilitiesAutomatically decides how much "thinking" to apply to queriesSam Altman signals release may be imminentEarly testers report significant performance improvementsAmerica's AI Action Plan Overview (00:16:08)25-page document positioning AI as national security priorityThree core pillars: innovation, infrastructure, governanceFocus on maintaining dominance over ChinaEmphasis on private sector speed and deregulationPillar 1: Accelerating AI Innovation (00:19:20)Removes barriers for data center constructionSignals copyright won't block model training$200M defense contracts to OpenAI, Anthropic, xAIPromotes open-source AI developmentAddresses "woke AI" concernsHigher Education Opportunities (00:25:27)$10-12 billion in NSF funding for AI training programsFederal tax incentives for AI literacy programsFocus on bootcamps over traditional degreesUniversities can partner on compute infrastructureWorkforce Research Hubs (00:28:50)Studies AI's labor market effectsInvestment in upskilling current workforcePartnerships between universities and industryEarly career exposure and pre-apprenticeshipsUniversities as Data Partners (00:31:54)Frontier labs have consumed available internet dataUniversities hold valuable research datasetsOpportunity to participate in model trainingShift from teaching to coaching roleMilitary Colleges as AI Hubs (00:35:26)Senior military colleges positioned as AI research centersDirect curriculum integration mandatedModel for other universities to followFocus on AI applications in defenseImplications for Liberal Arts Schools (00:38:46)Opportunity to own AI literacy initiativesReframe AI through human contextPartner with technical institutionsFocus on ethics and societal impactKey Takeaways and Next Steps (00:40:47)Universities must move fast to capture fundingSpeed to value critical for successEcosystem approach needed for dominanceMajor shifts in education delivery coming - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

In today's episode of Beautifully Broken, I chat with water advocate Helen Christoni about what's really flowing through American pipes—and how easy it can be to switch from suspicion to solution. Together we unpack the toxin-laden cocktail in most tap water (think microplastics, PFAS, arsenic, chlorine, chloramines, lead, drug residue), and explore how municipalities manage—but don't eliminate—contamination.Helen explains the difference between pitcher filters, sink/fridge filters, reverse osmosis, distillers, and full home systems—emphasizing NSF certifications, tank maintenance, remineralization, and how you can both detox and hydrate safely. We also dive into the brand‑new AquaTrue shower filter, because what you absorb on your skin matters as much as what you drink.If clarity, energy, beauty, or toile health are your goals, this episode arms you with actionable, science‑based tools to upgrade your water—and protect your cells at the source.Episode Highlights[03:22] Helen Christoni's journey from beauty entrepreneur to clean water advocate[06:52] What's really in your tap water: PFAS, pharmaceuticals, arsenic, chlorine, lead[09:47] Why municipal treatment doesn't protect you—and the risk of infrastructure decay[17:38] Pitcher vs. sink vs. RO vs. distillation: What works, what doesn't[23:57] AquaTru's unique 4-stage filtration process explained[28:16] The first AquaTru shower filter: why it matters for your skin, lungs, and lymph[39:52] How to scale your water solution: from budget filters to full home systems[46:15] The power of clean water during illness, recovery, and peak performance[47:58] Helen's beautifully broken moment—and how stillness helps her healLINKS & RESOURCESBuy AquaTrue Water Filters: http://aquatruwater.com/beautifullybrokenBEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybrokenUse Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for discountSilver Biotics: https://silverbiotics.com/Use Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN for discount CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@BeautifullyBrokenWorld)

Drs. Krylov and Pierce were with us to discuss the challenges in funding science for NSF, NASA & other groups. Our guests focused on challenges in science funding and peer review processes, with discussions about budget cuts, public pushback, and the need for advocacy and reform. Together we explored issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in scientific research and academia, including their impact on merit-based evaluations and graduate admissions. The conversation concluded with discussions about the role of private versus public funding in scientific research, the potential risks and benefits of AI in proposal evaluation, and the importance of maintaining funding for NASA and NSF research.

The CHIPS and Science Act is one of the landmark pieces of legislation relaunching American industrial policy. The legislation led to the creation of NSF's first new directorate in 30 years and the formation of regional innovation hubs, expanding training and workforce development opportunities nationwide. The legislation also authorized specific federal investments for STEM education and workforce development that can support the full workforce stack.   In this AAAS STPF Sci on the Fly podcast episode, current AAAS-ASGCT Congressional Policy Fellow Adriana Bankston speaks with key individuals who crafted the legislation and have worked on implementation in multiple sectors: STPF alum Dahlia Sokolov (Congress), Kei Koizumi (formerly OSTP), Travis York (AAAS) and Michael Holland (U Pitt). This podcast episode covers the legislation's journey from development to implementation, including stakeholder engagement and the role of public-private partnerships, framing the legislation in current times and what we can expect in the future.  This podcast does not necessarily reflect the views of AAAS, its Council, Board of Directors, officers, or members.

Employees at the National Science Foundation are pushing back against the Trump administration's actions at the agency. Nearly 150 NSF employees signed a letter of dissent this week. They're criticizing the administration's terminations of agency workers, while also cutting appropriated funding. Altogether, the NSF employees warn that the administration's actions amount to a “systemic dismantling” of the scientific agency. NSF's letter mirrors similar efforts from employees at NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency and several others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“My view on running is that it's the simplest sport — but the fact of that simplicity opens up the possibility that if you think about it deeply and use it deeply in your life, it can be a tool to help you understand the really important and complicated stuff.”By day, Nick Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic shaping the future of journalism. By early morning and often late evening, he's pounding the pavement between his Brooklyn home and Manhattan office, logging miles that many of us would consider as workouts. But somehow at age 49, he's still getting faster.In 2021, Nick ran a 2:29 marathon. At 45, he broke the American age group record in the 50K. Now he's the author of “The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports.” It's a book that's part memoir, part meditation on how running shapes us, challenges us, and sometimes reveals more than we're ready to face. It's out this fall.In this conversation, Nick opens up about growing up in the shadow of a gifted but troubled father, about breaking free from a years-long plateau in his running, and how sport has helped him find meaning both on and off the track. For Nick, running has never just been about the finish line or breaking records. It's about understanding who we are and who we want to be, which sometimes we learn in the process. We recorded this in April, so there may be a few references to the Boston Marathon which Nick was slated to run as part of Puma's Project 3 but had to withdraw from the race due to a family matter.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nick Thompson | ⁠@nxthompson on Instagram⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠Mentioned in this episode…Pre-order: The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of SportsWatch: The Running Ground: Nick Thompson On Life, Legacy and the Simplest of SportsSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

 Note: This podcast interview was recorded before the CFS10 shake table tests, which took place in June 2025 at UC San Diego. The landmark NSF-funded Cold-formed Steel 10 research project, CFS10, is evaluating the seismic performance of tall buildings framed with sheet steel members and modules. The capstone test: a 10-story CFS building on the UC San Diego shake table.CSF10 lead investigators Tara Hutchinson, professor of engineering at UC San Diego, and Ben Schafer, professor at Johns Hopkins University, provide the details on cold-formed steel: Cold-formed steel is formed at room temperature.It's strong, light, and has a low carbon footprint.Most U.S. sheet steel is produced from recycled material.Many industries rely on CFS as a light, strong building material. The CFS10 project culminates decades of research by Hutchinson and Schafer, including projects with two-story and 6-story buildings, which they discuss in detail.LEARN MORE: Tara Hutchinson's CFS shake table videos https://www.youtube.com/@TCHutchinson Cold-formed steel for seismic resilience?

“It just takes time, having people on the team with a bit of experience, and seeing people do it well. It's definitely building and I'm excited to see what they do over the next few years. I have to leave, but one win shows them that we can keep on winning. Hopefully we get our own little streak!”My guest for today's episode as we continue our Washington Huskies takeover is Sophie O'Sullivan. The University of Washington senior got it done — an NCAA 1500m title capping off a strong collegiate career. For the daughter of Olympic silver medalist Sonia O'Sullivan and renowned coach Nic Bideau, greatness may have been in the genes, but it wasn't always a given.Sophie didn't grow up chasing her parents' shadows. She played other sports in high school, barely trained, and still won races on grit alone. College was a different game. It took years of rebuilding mentally, physically, and emotionally, and in this conversation, she takes us through that progression, the years that shaped her, the lessons from her legendary parents, and how she's learned to love the grind, whether she's chasing titles or simply chasing her best.With a national title and an Olympic appearance behind her and the World Championships ahead, this is just the beginning.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Sophie O'Sullivan | @sophie.osullivan on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

Competitiveness in advanced telecommunications technologies is critical to American innovation and national security. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently announced the new Verticals-enabling Intelligent NEtwork Systems (VINES) program to foster U.S. leadership in advanced telecommunications and foster innovative real-world applications. NSF Acting Assistant Director of Computer and Information Science and Engineering Ellen Zegura says that VINES is focused on advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, which will bring significant advantages in cost reduction and improved network reliability and availability through automation of processes. AI-native networks, Zegura adds, create more "capable" networks, which open the door for new use of wireless networks. Zegura also discusses the collaborative aspect of the program. VINES brings together industry leaders like Intel and Qualcomm with federal agencies, as well as partnerships with the governments of Finland, Japan, India and Sweden. This global collaboration leverages resources and strengthens network operation and interoperability across national boundaries, which are often vulnerable points, Zegura explained.

“I'd been working so hard for this and had so much conscious energy going into winning this title and putting it all out there — my last attempt, last ditch effort. We've got to just win this thing. You could see it after in the photos. I was almost crying. I was so relieved, so happy, and so proud of the work that I've done.”My guest for today's episode is Nathan Green. In one of the most tactical and tightly contested NCAA 1500m finals in recent memory, Nathan Green emerged with more than just a lean at the finish line; he walked away with his second NCAA title, and perhaps more meaningfully, cemented Washington's 1500m legacy as one of the most dominant in NCAA history. He closed in 51.46 seconds to edge out UNC's Ethan Strand. In a blanket finish that saw 11 of the top 12 finishers within less than a second of each other, it was the kind of race that required patience, poise, and a final lap gear that few possess — and Green had it all to pull it off.But this wasn't just another tactical win. This was also a passing of the torch moment. Joe Waskom and Luke Houser have moved on to the professional ranks — and Nathan, who calls him his older brothers, carried the legacy forward. With this win, Washington becomes the first school to win six of the last seven NCAA 1500m and mile titles — a stretch powered by three athletes who have each won two. That's Joe Waskom, Luke Houser, and now Nathan Green.Today, we talk with Nathan about what this title means to him, the pressure and pride of carrying the UW streak forward, how he nearly dove at the finish line, whether or not his coach actually yelled, ‘jump,' and what's next as he turns pro and stays in Seattle under coach Andy Powell.Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Nathan Green | @nathanrgreen on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

What if we told you that your menstrual cycle isn't a weakness to overcome—but a superpower to embrace? In this bold and empowering episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa are joined by Jillian Bosak, women's health and performance coach, founder of Jillian B. Well, and a passionate advocate for redefining what it means to be a thriving, high-performing woman—in sync with your cycle. Jillian brings to light the often-overlooked truth: most women are being trained, coached, and supported as if they were men. With only 6% of sports science research conducted exclusively on women, the female experience in fitness, performance, and health is being sidelined. But not anymore. Together, we dive into: Why birth control being labeled as “women's healthcare” is a disservice—and what women actually need How tracking your cycle gives you clarity, power, and performance insights What athletes (from everyday movers to pros) should look for when syncing training with their cycle How your hormones are not the problem—they're your secret weapon Why the female body is not fragile, and how to stop suppressing what makes it uniquely strong Jillian's message is clear: You are not broken. You are brilliantly designed. And when you understand your hormones, you unlock a level of strength and confidence that can radically shift your life and training—for good. This episode is for women, coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to stop fighting their body and start working with it. Whether you're an everyday athlete or pushing elite-level performance, your hormones matter. And it's time the world recognized that.

And on Space Bites+, how we could use a space elevator to extract water from Ceres.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, Sebastian is joined by Dr. Emily Edwards, a co-founder of the Q12 initiative, an NSF-funded effort aimed at enhancing quantum science education from middle school through early undergraduate levels. Emily brings her expertise in organizing and motivating educators, as well as her passion for science communication. In this episode, we delve into the unique challenges of teaching quantum science and explore effective strategies to make this abstract field more accessible to learners of all ages.Key PointsChallenges in Quantum Communication and Education: Emily discusses the public perception of quantum science, often influenced by pop culture, and the importance of demystifying the subject to make it more approachable.Strategies for Formal and Informal Learning: The conversation highlights different techniques for teaching quantum science in formal settings, like schools, and informal settings, such as science museums or YouTube. Emily emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge and incremental learning.Role of Technology in Quantum Education: Emily talks about using scanning electron microscopes and other technologies to make the invisible world of quantum science visible, thus igniting public interest and imagination similar to stargazing.Importance of Science Communication Workshops: Emily shares her experience in leading science communication workshops, aiming to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of science content created by the public.Public and Private Sector Collaboration: The discussion touches on the need for a blend of federal and private funding to sustain and scale quantum education initiatives. Emily stresses the importance of industry involvement to emphasize the urgency and importance of scientific literacy for the future workforce.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we welcome Dr. Katie Lee, a trailblazing dentist, visionary entrepreneur, and author of "Saved by the Mouth." Dr. Lee is on a mission to reframe how we think about oral health—not as an isolated part of the body, but as a foundational element of systemic and especially female health. Dr. Lee's journey began at just 14 years old when a traumatic ATV accident forever changed her life. After enduring nine surgeries and dental implants, she learned firsthand the profound impact a healthy smile can have on a person's physical, emotional, and mental health. That experience sparked a calling to become the best dentist she could be—not just to treat teeth, but to heal the whole person. As the founder of The Collective Health Society, a groundbreaking fully integrated functional dental and medical center, Dr. Lee is at the forefront of oral-systemic health. She also serves as the Chief Clinical Advisor for the Dental Innovation Alliance and contributes to groundbreaking space health research with NASA, helping protect astronauts' oral microbiomes during space travel. In this episode, Dr. Lee unpacks the critical but overlooked links between oral health, fertility, and women's overall wellness. She challenges the outdated research models that treat women as "small men" and calls for a more holistic, ecosystem-based approach to women's health. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Grand Slam Track has canceled its upcoming meet in Los Angeles, which was set to take place June 28th and 29th at UCLA's Drake Stadium, and be the final competition of the inaugural season. The league is still planning to return in 2026 for a second season. Several athletes who have signed onto the league are on multi-year deals, according to sources close to the league.In its first season, the league featured six event groups and planned to award $12.6 million in prize money. Winners of each Slam take home $100,000. The league made in-season changes by pivoting to a two-day model for Philadelphia. (Long distance group winners were awarded $50,000, since one of those changes was the removal of the 5000m from the schedule.)The league is planning to announce new investors and partners in the coming weeks. Grand Slam Track ends its inaugural season after three meets in Kingston, Jamaica (April 4-6), Miami, Florida (May 2-4) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 31-June 1).Watch the episode here | Follow The Final Leg hereSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

“A lot of people when they go out and do things [after an injury] have this vengeance. It's always like, ‘I'm doing it for the people who counted me out,' or ‘I'm doing it for revenge.' But I'm doing it for the people who say I can do it because I have such an overwhelming amount of people who have been supportive and have known I can come back. It's so cool to prove them right.”It's not every day that an athlete disappears from racing for nearly three years—undergoes multiple surgeries, leaves their training group, and then returns to the track to drop a 1:44 in their first 800m back. But that's exactly what Donavan Brazier just did.The former world champion, American record holder, and longtime face of U.S. middle-distance running made a stunning comeback in Nashville this past weekend—not just running well, but dominating the field and flashing the brilliance that once made him one of the most electrifying athletes in the sport.If you've followed Donavan's career, you know the road back has been anything but easy. He's battled injuries, Achilles surgeries, a fractured tibia, bursitis—over 1,000 days without stepping onto a start line. He could have walked away. No one would have blamed him. But he didn't.Today, we dive into why. What kept him going? What was it like to toe the line again? And how does he see himself fitting into the most competitive U.S. 800m field in years?We reflect on the highs, the lows, the what-ifs and look ahead at what's next for both Donavan and the event he helped redefine. This is a story about resilience, patience, perspective—and the kind of raw talent that refuses to fade.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Donavan Brazier | @donavanbrazier on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

“There is a pretty significant amount of track and field athletes for whom a college opportunity will only come through the participation of track and field. That is something we need to really educate the public around. Coining the term, ‘the opportunity sport,' encapsulates all of that. It's something I believe the broader public can get understanding around.”Starting July 1, NCAA Division I schools can directly pay athletes for the first time ever. This shift follows the House v. NCAA antitrust settlement, approved last week by Judge Claudia Wilken. The $2.8B deal doesn't make athletes employees, but it does allow them to finally receive a share of the billions in revenue they help generate. Schools will be able to offer up to $20.5M annually to student-athletes across all sports (amounts not required to be equal). It also tightens oversight of NIL collectives via a new clearinghouse that ensures deals are “fair-market value.” After major pushback over lost roster spots, the final version protects current and incoming athletes, though schools aren't required to restore those spots. Now, athletic departments are racing to implement these changes. Some are lobbying Congress for federal regulation, hoping this deal becomes a stepping stone toward nationwide legislation. Either way, college sports — and particularly cross country and track — will never look the same.Mentioned in this episode…Read: Track Is America's Opportunity Sport.

Are you throwing money away on supplements that do nothing? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Liron Kayvan and I break down the supplement industry's biggest myths and reveal which ones are actually worth taking. We discuss why most supplements are unregulated snake oil, the importance of third-party testing, and how to cycle supplements so your body doesn't become desensitized. Plus, we share our personal supplement protocols and explain why getting blood work is non-negotiable before starting any regimen. Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He's a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years. What we discuss: Why supplements should be the smallest part of your health pyramid The lack of FDA regulation in the supplement industry Essential supplements: creatine, omega-3, vitamin D with K2, magnesium Why creatine isn't just for bodybuilders (new Alzheimer's research) The importance of third-party testing and NSF certification How to cycle supplements to prevent tolerance Why you need blood work before and after supplementation NAD and alpha-GPC for brain health Working with your natural patterns vs. fighting them The difference between giving energy vs. getting energy from exercise Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast, we are so excited to welcome Maddy Pollack—a passionate Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Hormone Health Coach, and Yoga Instructor who specializes in helping women take control of their menstrual and hormonal health naturally. Maddy's journey is incredibly powerful. At just 24 years old, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Now fully in remission, Maddy dedicates her work to guiding women in naturally reducing PMS symptoms, balancing their hormones, releasing stubborn weight, and reconnecting with their bodies—without relying on medication. In our conversation today, we dive into: The missing link between traditional medical treatment and nutritional healing How to naturally regulate your cycle and ease PMS, and heal from PCOS The impact of stress, gut health, and lifestyle on hormone function Practical, empowering tips for working with your cycle instead of against it Maddy brings a compassionate, science-informed approach to wellness, and I know our listeners are going to walk away with so many actionable insights.

This week, Chris Chavez and Megan Connelly unpack the new U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifying Standards. Preet Majithia hops on for the second half to recap Grand Slam Track: Philadelpia, Anna Hall's breakthrough heptathlon, preview the Rome Diamond League, and more takeaways from the past week.Takeaways from the new U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifying Standards:– USATF will return to “A” and “B” standards for 2028. The “A” standard will be determined at a later date in coordination with the LOC. Athletes with the “A” standard will get travel funding to the Olympic Trials. Athletes with the “B” standard will be guaranteed entry to the Olympic Trials.– For the “B” standard: Women who want to race will have to run 2:37:00 or faster. This is the same as the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying standard. Women will also be able to qualify if they run 1:12:00 for the half marathon or faster, which is the same as the 2024 qualifier.– For the “B” standard: Men who want to race will have to run 2:16:00 or faster. This is two minutes faster than the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying standard. Men can also enter if they run 1:03:00 or faster for the half marathon, which is the same as the 2024 qualifier. Going off USATF's 2024 qualifiers list, 139 of the 220 qualified men ran faster than 2:16:00.Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Megan Connelly | ⁠⁠@meganmorantwwe on Instagram⁠⁠ Preet Majithia |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@preetmajithia on Instagram⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

“I'm patient. I call it aggressively patient. I'm going hard for it all — but if it doesn't happen, there's still a process and I chip away for next time. That's how you become a champion. You don't just go out there and run and win. You have to have a journey and work hard. I'm always going hard.”Welcome back to Office Hours on the CITIUS MAG Podcast, where we explore the philosophy of the coaches who push the edges of human potential with some of the best athletes in track and field.Today's guest is someone who has climbed to some of the highest highs in the sport. Joanna Hayes is an Olympic gold medalist, a Hall of Famer, and currently the director of track and field and cross country at her alma mater UCLA. In 2024, she was named USATF's Coach of the Year — a recognition not just for her competitive pedigree, but her ability to cultivate greatness in others.She's coached legends like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Rai Benjamin, ushered in record-breaking seasons at both USC and UCLA, and she's done it all while remaining grounded in values of respect, discipline, family, and joy. In this conversation, we explore what success does and doesn't change about how she leads, what it feels like to return to the place where it all started, the realities of coaching both elite professionals and college athletes and how the two are more connected than you think.We talk about legacy, resilience, motherhood, and what it means to show up not just as a coach, but as a human being who makes space for culture, connection, and yes, sometimes TikToks and fresh fits. Coach Hayes's story is one of full circle moments and forward motion. She's creating a new chapter at UCLA and you'll hear in this conversation why it's one worth watching and rooting for.

Imagine this: you're standing inside a trendy L.A. grocery store—maybe it's Erewhon. You've got a cooler full of canned soda that claims to be good for your gut. You're not a celebrity and you're not even the founder of the company. You're just a guy with a vision, a few samples, and the audacity to talk your way into a product launch.That was Steven Vigilante back in 2018. Today, Olipop—the better-for-you soda brand that he helped bring to life—is in more than 30,000 stores across the country. They've partnered with Barbie, NASCAR, the Brooklyn Nets, New York Liberty, and somehow even made it into a Luke Combs music video.But it didn't start there. Steven cut his teeth in venture capital, betting early on health forward brands. When he saw the potential in a fiber-packed functional soda, he jumped in—first as an advisor, and then as the architect behind some of the boldest growth and partnership strategies in beverage today.So how do you build a soda brand that dares to take on the likes of Coke and Pepsi? One that trades sugar for science and still wins hearts and taste buds across America? In addition to all of that, they're also major partners for CITIUS MAG.This is the latest episode of The Build with Steven Vigilante, Director of Media and Partnerships at Olipop, on staying scrappy, scaling smart, and crafting a new kind of soda, one can at a time.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest: Steven Vigilante | @stevenvigilante on XSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSPILLAR PERFORMANCE: We all know that sleep is where the magic happens.
