What if the emotional patterns you struggle with aren’t actually who you are? What if they’re just patterns—and patterns can be interrupted? I’m joined by Dr. Elisha Goldstein, returning to the show eight years after his first appearance, to talk about his new book, Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about healthy eating, exercise, fitness, sleep, and all the things we do to live a long and healthy life, but what about the emotional stuff? Because Elisha makes the case that emotional longevity is just as important as physical longevity—and that living in a high-stress, agitated pattern can potentially take years off your life. We get into his simple 4-R method: recognize, release, refocus, reinforce, which can help you catch yourself in an overwhelmed loop before you spiral into those undesirable, repeatable patterns. We talk about why the skills we learn can easily fail us when we need them the most—when we’re under pressure, agitated, or triggered—and how to create more space between stimulus and response. Elisha explains why emotions are biology, how getting in touch with what’s happening in your body can change the way you respond, and why asking your brain better questions can lead to better answers. We also talk about the everyday moments that can send us into these patterns, from traffic to social media outrage to difficult relationships, and Elisha shares a personal story about getting scammed online that puts all of this to the test in real time. This is a fascinating conversation about emotional health, longevity, and learning to recognize the patterns that drive our behavior so we can interrupt them and give ourselves more choice in the moments when we need it most.

Get ready for another great show with Ben Azadi, author of the new book KetoFlex. Ben has an incredible story—after struggling with obesity and depression in his early 20s, he lost 80 pounds and completely transformed his health. Today he's helping people better understand metabolism, fasting, and the ketogenic diet by simplifying complex science and turning it into practical, actionable habits that don't feel overwhelming. We talk about why eating too close to bedtime can interfere with your body's biggest fat-burning window of the day, why Ben believes in making just one "tweak a week" instead of overhauling your life overnight, and why he says, "You don't lose weight to get healthy—you get healthy to lose weight." We also discuss metabolic flexibility, the role of hyperinsulinemia and seed oils in today's obesity epidemic, why keto isn't meant to be a forever diet, and the simple mindset shifts that make lasting change possible—including Ben's memorable reminder: "If you treat your health casually, you'll end up a casualty." Ben also shares the productivity habits that have helped him write multiple bestselling books while staying focused on his mission of helping others reclaim their health. Ben Azadi is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and functional diagnostic nutritionist known as "The Health Detective." After struggling with obesity and depression in his early 20s, he transformed his health by losing 80 pounds and reducing his body fat to 6%—an experience that inspired his mission to help others improve their metabolic health. Today, Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp, where he educates people on intermittent fasting, the ketogenic diet, and metabolic flexibility. He is also the host of the award-winning Metabolic Freedom podcast, which was named Keto Podcast of the Year at the 2022 Metabolic Health Summit. TIMESTAMPS: Ben Azadi explains in this podcast some complex scientific insights about sleep, about metabolic health, about how the body's supposed to burn fat while we sleep, about what's going on during the day and how to manage this global obesity epidemic. [01:05] Ben's story of being a very unhealthy depressed young man involves an 80-pound weight loss he experienced. This started his journey toward better health. He will explain the basics of the ketogenic diet. [04:55] If you treat your health casually, you'll end up a casualty. If you are 23 years old or 63 years old, your body will respond when you change the signals you're giving it. [10:10] What does it take to get motivated and inspired to take on the responsibility of managing your own health? [16:31] When you eat too close to bedtime, you're missing out on the most important window within a 24-hour period for fat loss and fat burning. [18:14] If you eat the same meal in the morning and evening with exactly the same calories and micronutrients, the insulin response is different. [22:44] When you are most insulin sensitive in the morning, is that a good time to fast? [28:40] If you put rules and guidelines into your life, that is a really nice method of succeeding. [32:34] Start with whole foods, start with good sleep, start with movement and then build from there. [37:33] Keto Flex is a spin on metabolic flexibility. It's do keto but don't do it forever. [38:22] When you're in ketosis, it signals to your body that you're going through kind of like a famine. It's a stressor to the body. [43:13] How did Ben lose 80 pounds in nine months? You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. [48:54] Are seed oils promoting hyperinsulinemia or are there other things at play here that's interfering with our ability to burn stored body fat? [52:33] The definition of whole food is that it is a single ingredient food. [58:11] What kind of application does the consumption of exogenous ketones have? [58:42] Ben explains his KetoFlex plan here. [01:01:04] Ben shares some of his secrets of managing his busy life, writing books, teaching, podcasting and keeping that 80 pounds off.

MARVEL, a creative acronym meaning Microreactor Applications Research Validation and EvaLuation, is a trail blazing reactor development program designed to help the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the nuclear industry remember how to build and operate small nuclear reactors for testing and demonstration. The program was initiated in 2020 and has created many opportunities to learn and improve. The current MARVEL program lead, Dr. Abdalla Abou-Jaoude, joined me for Atomic Show #348 to talk about the program and its historic accomplishments. Even though the MARVEL reactor has not yet been completed, he and his team – both superiors and subordinates – consider the program to be a research and development success story. MARVEL is a micro reactor designed to produce 85 kilowatts of thermal energy. Using Stirling engines, it will be able to produce approximately 20 kilowatts of electricity. That’s about the same generating capacity as a whole house generator for a 4,000 square foot American suburban home. The reactor uses uranium-zirconium hydride (UZrH) fuel rods with uranium enriched to less than 20% U-235 (HALEU). They are similar to those used in Triga research reactors. The reactor coolant is NaK (sodium potassium eutectic) that is naturally circulated through the reactor core and the system heat exchangers. The early system design concept included directly-connected Stirling engines to convert reactor heat to electricity. That configuration was proven to be unworkable during a non nuclear thermal testing program called PCAT – Primary Coolant Apparatus Test. The Stirling engines vibrated enough to put the rest of the system at risk of rapid deterioration, so the design was changed to include a secondary, non radioactive NaK loop that then transferred its heat to a tertiary molten salt loop. This choice allows the Stirling engines and the heat conversion system to be placed outside of the building. That design change had the added benefit of making it easier to use the MARVEL reactor system to test various direct heat applications; with the directly mounted engines, it would have been difficult to extract any product other than electricity. A major benefit of a government funded research and development program like MARVEL is that it can provide widely accessible lessons learned. For a variety of commercial reasons, private sector programs are less likely to share what they have learned from their mistakes or dead end choices. Private sector participants can be hesitant to be the first to move, especially in a field where everyone knows that the existing government approval process is a major barrier that needs to be improved. A government funded program has the ability to approach and overcome the barriers without incurring the risk that they are simply making the path easier and smoother for their competitors. The cliche “don’t fight city hall” applies; it’s a somewhat easier battle when you are part of the city hall machinery. Abdalla explained how the MARVEL program leaders are happy to see how later projects are moving more quickly and even passing it to reach certain key development milestones. MARVEL leaders feel like they did their job by helping to exercise and improve the processes of review and approval. The program has also helped to give dozens of engineers more experience in the process of moving component and system designs off of computer screens and into real life fabrication. Numerous entities from universities, governments and the private sector are queuing up to use MARVEL to test various concepts for taking advantage of nuclear fission heat. Some of the potential uses include desalination (especially produced water from oil and gas wells), hydrogen production, micro grids, remote operations and training AI for reactor control. MARVEL is currently scheduled to achieve dry criticality in 2026. It should achieve full power operations in 2028. It is classified as a non capitalized asset, which limits its projected operating life to about 2 years. It has sufficient fuel to last longer if the decision is made to extend it past the two year point. Even if it operates a little longer, the plan is still to have it reach the decommissioning phase quickly enough to serve as a barrier breaker for that important life cycle phase. You are sure to enjoy the show and to learn something in the process.

Ralph speaks to historian Omer Bartov about his new book “Israel: What Went Wrong?” with special guest, international law expert Bruce FeinBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Many of the things that you describe in Israel apply in spades in the United States. We also have an administration that says we're being invaded militarily by Venezuela gangs, so we have to go kidnap their president and annex Venezuela. We've stated that Iran is an existential threat to the United States because at some future time, it's conceivable they may get one nuclear weapon. We have 5,000, Israel probably has 300 or 400. Or make the argument that we are being invaded by defenseless immigrants across the southern border. And it does seem to me that all countries—I don't think it's unique anyway to the United States or Israel, but it's generally true those in power are there to manufacture fear, to inflate fleas into elephants and say “My gosh, tomorrow the sky is falling down. We need to have national emergencies, rule by decree.” Everything is “an imminent danger”, the Communist domino theory. It's a very challenging issue. I say what you've described in Israel is not unique to Israel. We confront it every day right in the United States. And it works.Bruce FeinOmer Bartov is the Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. A historian, Professor Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv, and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become a leading scholar of the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country. His early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide and interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. His current interest is reflected in his recent books, Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and the forthcoming The Broken Promise: A Personal Political History of Israel and Palestine. The whole idea of creating a Jewish state (and it says so in the Proclamation of the State from May 1948) is that it would be a state for Jews—that it would be both Jewish and democratic. And that has proven to be not possible. A Jewish state can be both Jewish and democratic only if the overwhelming majority (if not all) of its citizens are Jews.Omer Bartov[Zionist zealots] believe that history is on their side—so in that sense, they are similar to Communists they're similar to Fascists they're similar to Nazis in that they believe that they can see the way forward, they know the logic of history, and the logic of history as they see it is on their side.Omer BartovIn Israel, since the 1980s (really since after the War of 1973, with the rise of the right wing in Israel in particular) the Holocaust has come to serve a particular purpose. Instead of being commemorated as an event that happened in the past that we should remember and commemorate and research, it's become a kind of image of an imminent danger to Israel. And the farther Israel has moved from the actual event of the Holocaust, and the more the Israeli army has become the military hegemon in its region, the more this alleged threat of an “Auschwitz around the corner” has been used by Israeli governments. Why has it been used? Because Israel actually needs to explain to itself and to its citizens: Why is it bossing it over millions of Palestinians? Half of the population under Israeli control are Palestinians. Two million are citizens, but they don't have equal rights, and the others have no rights at all (they're simply under arbitrary military rule). So how do you explain that? You explain that by telling your population and the rest of the world that those Palestinians—who have no power, who can never pose a threat to you—are an existential threat. And in Israel, that has worked quite well.Omer BartovBecause of the focus on Hebrew—to create Hebrew as a mother tongue for children whose mothers didn't speak Hebrew—because of that, there was a great antagonism towards speaking any other language. And the notion of having bilingual schools (that is, of having schools in Palestine where people would learn both Hebrew and Arabic, the language of the place) is not entertained by the vast majority of educators. Now, if you think about what would have been the result of having bilingual schools already in the 1920s and 30s, that children could speak each other's language and recognize each other's culture—that could have had a huge effect on how Zionism developed and how the state would have developed. But in today's Israel, the only bilingual population are the Palestinians. Palestinian citizens of Israel speak Arabic and Hebrew. Most Israelis don't speak Arabic. And most Israelis who trace themselves (quite large numbers) not to Europe, but to North Africa and the Middle East, where their parents and grandparents spoke Arabic (this was their language) have forgotten that language and were ashamed of their parents speaking it because it associated them with the Arabs. So the loss in this kind of creation of a nation around one language was the ability to imagine yourself as sharing the space with another group.Omer Bartov * Our top story concerns a progressive insurgent running in a must-win Senate race – and not the one you're thinking of. Late last week, Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The New York Times notes that this is AOC's first Senate endorsement of this cycle, coming just about a month ahead of the August 4th Michigan primary. El-Sayed is quoted saying that he is “honored for what her support says about what this campaign is building and what we're fighting for,” adding that he thinks that “too many establishment Democrats are…afraid that I will win.” He pointedly attacked Senator Chuck Schumer, charging that the Minority Leader “doesn't want to see me on the inside of the U.S. Senate,” because El-Sayed would “call out the kind of politics where we take money from corporations and AIPAC to run milquetoast campaigns and don't say anything about the problems that everyday people are facing.” El-Sayed has announced that he will campaign with AOC and Senator Bernie Sanders in Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids on July 18th and 19th, per MLive.* Another earthquake occurred in the Michigan Senate race on July 5th, when State Senator Mallory McMorrow announced that she would be withdrawing from the race – turning what was a competitive three-way race into a head-to-head between El-Sayed and the Democratic establishment pick, Congresswoman Haley Stevens. The Detroit Free Press notes that this announcement “comes after absentee ballots have already been mailed out to some voters and too late to remove her name from the primary ballot,” though voters are able to rescind their absentee votes and submit new ones up through Friday, July 24th. In a video statement, McMorrow maintained that “People are crying out for change and we need to listen.” McMorrow once led her opponents in this race but saw her support collapse and was trailing in a distant third place in recent polls. Rumor also had it that outgoing Senator Gary Peters was privately calling for her to exit the race so centrists could consolidate around Stevens. While many of her supporters are expected to go to Stevens, El-Sayed is energetically courting McMorrow's voters as well. The Detroit News reports McMorrow herself has announced that she will remain neutral in the remaining days of the primary, leaving her voters to vote their own consciences.* In more Michigan news, DSA-backed congressional candidate Donavan McKinney is running strong in his primary campaign against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar, whom McKinney has labeled “​​Detroit's own Elon Musk,” according to the New York Post. If McKinney pulls it off, he will join the growing group of DSA members in the House, along with Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and AOC from New York, Chris Rabb and Melat Kiros from Pennsylvania and Colorado respectively, and Rashida Tlaib from Michigan. Another candidate endorsed by his local DSA chapter, Kyle Blomquist, is running for Congress in Michigan but even if he wins his primary he is not expected to flip the deep red 1st congressional district.* In Missouri, Cori Bush has also won the support of DSA for her comeback congressional run against Wesley Bell, who defeated her in the 2024 primary, Andrew Solender reports. Bush had already won the support of her local DSA chapter, along with many other progressive organizations, and has been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and former Congressman Jamaal Bowman. This week though, she won the support of the national DSA. In a statement, Bush wrote “I am honored to be once again endorsed by the Democratic [Socialists] of America as I campaign to return to Congress and keep building our movement to fight for economic justice, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and a world where everyday people have a real voice in our workplace's neighborhoods and society.” Bush also praised DSA for its “decades of organizing…[mobilizing] thousands of people across the country to demand an economy that works for all of us…[and] take on war profiteers, the for-profit healthcare industry, and the billionaire funded lobbies that subvert our democracy.” There has been little polling of this race, but what there has been appears to show the race in a statistical dead heat. One sign that Bush is being taken seriously is the new $865,000 ad buy taken out by the United Democracy Project, an AIPAC cutout.* Ironically, it would seem that American Jews have a more favorable view of the progressive left than Israel. According to the Forward, a new AP poll found that “44% of American Jews hold a favorable opinion of Zohran Mamdani, compared with 39% who view him unfavorably.” This is in contrast to the 32% of respondents who said they have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu and 59% who said they have a negative view of the Israeli PM. Perhaps more surprisingly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a “staunch supporter of Israel,” garnered only a 41% favorability rating, though far more respondents said they don't know enough about him to have an opinion than said they have a negative view.* Turning back to the Senate, the other major story this week of course is the fall of Graham Platner. Accusations of sexual assault, detailed in a POLITICO article, resulted in a deluge of opprobrium that cascaded upwards culminating in Platner's earliest and highest profile supporter, Senator Bernie Sanders, calling on him to drop out of the Senate race in Maine. In a video message released Wednesday, Platner stated that he would be suspending his campaign effective immediately, later telling staff that he plans to wait until Monday, the final possible day, to formally withdraw from the race, Axios reports. In the same video, Platner categorically denied the accusations calling them “all false,” and maintaining that the “things that have been claimed did not happen.” He implied that the scandal was orchestrated by “those in power“ who would “rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next Senator from Maine.”* Platner's impending, late-stage withdrawal from the race has set off a chaotic blitz primary to replace him as the Democratic nominee. Numerous candidates have announced they are running including former Maine Senate president Troy Jackson, former Director of Maine's Center for Disease, Control and Prevention Nirav Shah, co-founder of Maine beer company Dan Kleban, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and state lawmaker Valli Geiger, along with Jordan Wood and Paige Loud, both of whom ran in the Maine second congressional district Democratic primary. The actual process for selecting a nominee has been the subject of debate – with many progressives arguing for caucuses – but POLITICO reports that by July 27th, “600 delegates must be selected,” including 500 from the state's 16 county parties, and these delegates will decide on a candidate to replace Platner via “an unprecedented nominating convention,” wherein all delegates come in unpledged to any candidate setting the stage for “what could be a raucous and unpredictable free-for-all.” It remains to be seen how this will all shake out, but it is notable that almost all of these candidates poll very strongly against Senator Susan Collins, with many polling higher than Platner ever did, while the Democratic Party's handpicked primary candidate, sitting Governor Janet Mills, still polls lower than Platner even since the scandal broke.* For our final Senate story, we turn to the senior Senator from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell. McConnell was recently found unconscious in his Washington, DC home and has been hospitalized since, and while Republican Senators and media figures like Scott Jennings claim to have spoken with him directly, his being sequestered away from the public has fueled rampant speculation about the severity of his condition and why it is being kept so secretive. Forbes reports that some figures on the right, including Steve Bannon, are “suggesting the Republican establishment is shielding the state of McConnell's health from the public to allow him to remain in office long enough to avoid [Kentucky Congressman Thomas] Massie running for his seat.” Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told TMZ, “Thomas Massie would make a great senator.” The Hill reports that Andy Beshear, the Democratic Governor of Kentucky, sent a letter to McConnell's Senate office strongly requesting an update on the Senator's health, noting that “Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell,” and that “Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source.”* In more positive news, AP reports former Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan, who helped an immigrant escape ICE by ushering him through her jury room door was spared prison time in her sentencing this week. After the incident in her court room, Dugan was convicted of felony obstruction in what was widely seen as a political trial designed to exact retribution on behalf of the Trump administration. Dugan resigned her circuit judgeship under this assault; in her resignation letter, she warned that this prosecution threatened “the independence of our judiciary.” Dugan was fined $5,000.* Finally, in spiritual news, a story in the National Catholic Reporter recounts how Pope Leo XIV excommunicated thousands of clergy and followers of the far right, schismatic group, the Society of St. Pius X. While bishops and priests are judged prima facie schismatic for their consecration in the Society, lay followers of the sect will be judged schismatic if they consciously choose “adherence to the society over obedience to the pope,” and “exclusive participation in Lefebvrian ‘ecclesial' acts, without taking part in the acts of the Catholic Church,” a reference to the group's founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The proximate cause of this excommunication was the Society creating four new bishops in open defiance of Pope Leo, essentially daring the Church to act. This piece notes that the Society “has long been a thorn in the side of Rome,” and notes that the new papal decree rolls back privileges granted to the sect under Pope Francis, including administering the sacrament of penance and solemnizing marriages.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q2 operations at the McCreedy West Mine and the expedited development pathway for the Levack and Crean Hill mines located in Sudbury, Ontario. We also unpack the C$140 Million Strategic Investment by Alpayana, coming in as a new 19.9% stakeholder.     Q2 Operational Highlights: As of June 26, 2026, McCreedy West had shipped 91,724 tons of ore from the 700 Copper Zone to Vale Base Metals' Clarabelle mill in Sudbury, with four days remaining in the second quarter. This surpasses the 84,953 tons of ore produced in the fourth quarter of 2025 and represents a new quarterly record for McCreedy West under Magna ownership. The average grade of the 66,445 tons of ore shipped during April and May is 3.55% copper equivalent (“CuEq”), based on the commodity prices assumed in the Company's 2026 production and cost guidance. Final assays are pending for ore shipped in June but average grades for Q2 are anticipated to be near the upper end of the full year guidance range. Underground development at McCreedy West during the quarter is anticipated to exceed 2,350 feet, also a record under Magna ownership. McCreedy West has achieved a Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.0.   Numerous pieces of well-maintained underground equipment have been acquired from a nearby Sudbury operation that is moving into a state of closure for a total price of less than $1 million, well below market rates for equivalent used or new equipment. This equipment will be repurposed for use at the Company's Levack Mine and to support other Magna projects in the Sudbury Basin with potential savings expected to be in the range of $9-12 million.     On July 6, 2026, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing with Alpayana S.A.C. to purchase 62,222,222 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.25 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$140,000,000. At closing of the Offering, Alpayana is expected to hold approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Magna.  Jason unpacked how the transaction came together, the shared values and business approaches between the 2 companies, and how this capital accelerates a dual-track development of both Levack and Crean Hill into commercial production by 2028.   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during Q3.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. We reviewed the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year.  He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp up into production could commence as early as H2 2027.   We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.      Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.         For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Welcome to a most informative and inspiring show about the amazing ancient superfood of cacao! This episode will give you everything you need to know about its remarkable health benefits, healing properties, and how to choose the most sustainable, eco-friendly, fair-trade bean-to-bar products. You will learn about the fascinating history of cacao as a sacred food, currency, and medicine, why it remains one of the most highly regarded superfoods on the planet, and how the food industry took this extraordinary raw material, stripped out everything useful, and transformed it into little more than a heavily sugared version of the original. Along the way, I explain the science in plain English—from the powerful polyphenols that support your heart, brain, blood pressure, gut microbiome, metabolism, and mood, to why cacao may be the single most antioxidant-rich food you can eat. I also reveal the disturbing reality behind much of today's commercial chocolate industry, including how mainstream processing destroys many of cacao's most valuable compounds and why ethical sourcing matters. You'll learn the difference between raw cacao powder, cacao nibs, and high-percentage dark chocolate, how to identify truly high-quality bean-to-bar chocolate, why I became a dark chocolate connoisseur, and the artisan brands I recommend. When this episode is over, you're never going to look at a chocolate bar the same way again, and you'll be fully armed to make the best product purchasing decisions and obtain the maximum benefits from consuming foods high in nutritious cacao. TIMESTAMPS: Cacao is one of the most highly regarded superfoods on the planet. [00:56] When you are finished listening to this episode, you will never look at a chocolate bar the same way again. [02:28] The best way to enjoy chocolate is to put it on your tongue and allow the flavor to dissolve in your mouth. [06:38] The history of cacao is fascinating. It is one of the most nutrient dense, biologically active foods in all of human history. [08:10] Early civilationa learned to ferment, roast, and grind cacao beans into a drink. It was more than a flavoring agent, it was very much a spriitual centerpiece as well as used for medicinal purposes. [10:11] After the Europeans added sugar to cacao, it lost some of its medicinal purpose, although it still is a good source of antioxidants. [12:29] There are many cardiovascular benefits from cacao. It improves platelet function. [18:17] Cacao has been shown in studies to produce meaningful reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is also known to help boost levels of HDL (high density lipoproteins.) [20:55] Cacao consumption improves your overall lipid profiles, including helping with healthy triglyceride levels. [27:24] Does cacao help with weight loss goals? [28:27] Cacao has an impact on brain function and mood. [31:37] In contrast to the powerful, hard and fast effects of caffeine, theobromine in cacao works more slowly. It has a gentler mechanism and a longer half life. [35:08] Studies show wonderful benefits from cacao on the gut. It has been identified as a potent prebiotic which is what feed probiotics to flourish in the intestinal tract. [38:59] Reasearch shows cacao has properties protecting you from UV damage from sunburn. [46:35] Just how damaging to health is mainstream modern chocolate processing? One of the terrible aspects of the low-priced chocolate is because of the support of child slave labor harvesting these beans. [50:02] Look for the designation of "bean to bar" on the product. It should also have cacao beans as the first ingredient. [55:05] In mainstream processing of the beans, they have to use super high temperatures which degrades the polyphenol. [57:17] There are three categories of products which can deliver these wonderful health benefits. [01:00:07] When the bar is above 80%, this is where most of the research showing cardiovascular cognitive benefits was conducted. The words "cacao beans" should be the first ingredient on the label. [01:05:53] Brad lists his recommendations for good chocolate bars. [01:19:44] How much chocolate should one consume? [[01:29:06] Do not refrigerate high quality dark chocolate.

Hey, how about a podcast guest of the fittest female athlete in the world? Her name is Lauren Weeks and she is a Hyrox legend and a three-time world champion widely considered to be the most decorated competitor in the sport’s history and the world’s fittest woman. That’s a title you can throw around and argue about, but she has a legitimate claim because Hyrox is an incredible athletic challenge that demands both extreme endurance capability and the strength and power to perform these challenging stations that happen in between one-kilometer runs. Lauren breaks down the entire Hyrox competition, how this fitness sensation has taken the fitness world by storm, and her journey to becoming a three-time world champion—including winning world championships, competing while eight months pregnant, returning to take second in the world, and eventually breaking the world record in both the pro and open divisions. You’re also going to learn some really interesting insights about her training. Sneak peek: most of her training is comfortably paced. I want to pound this message into our heads over and over—here is a woman performing at the very highest level ever seen in total athletic, functional fitness, and most of the time she’s training well within her capacity. Lauren shares how she balances aerobic training, strength work, and specific Hyrox preparation, and why building your aerobic system, staying strong, and training consistently are the foundation for performing at the highest level and staying fit and healthy throughout life. TIMESTAMPS: Lauren Weeks, World Champion in Hyrox, is here to give an explanation of the sport and some trips for training. [01:03] It's a sport that encourages you to have an aerobic base, but also work on strength, which I think is really important for longevity. Lauren explains the stations. [04:29] So pacing, no matter what level you're at, is gonna be incredibly important. [12:18] If you're racing full bore for around an hour, that's pretty much the definition of the anaerobic threshold. [16:01] The participants in these events vary in their skill level. There are divisions differing in the weights at the stations. [19:11] On average, the average time is probably just about 90 minutes, but the range is anywhere from just under an hour to probably just over three hours. [22:31] Range of motion might be a problem for folks who haven't trained for these stations. [25:17] Did it take a long time for Lauren to get to the world champion level? What is it like being a professional these days? [27:04] How many different events are there on the calendar? [32:48] What does her daily training regimen look like? [34:54] How can you be 8 months pregnant and compete in a Hyrox competition?

"Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?!?!" I understand tech enthusiast skepticism when those appeals are made, as we can all remember times when "protecting children" was used as a cover for bad policy. However, there are times we need to collectively examine corporate practices, and reign in businesses making harmful products. Attorney Whitney Ray Di Bona sat down to discuss the NUMEROUS active lawsuits against Roblox, and ways parents can address these issues with their kids.

You will learn a lot just by listening to today's show:The Senate struggled for weeks over passing legislation that Americans of both parties are desperate for: The Save America Act and the Housing Bill. The Save Act is the election voting bill that a large majority of Americans support, and the Housing Act that will assist Americans in purchasing homes, many first-time buyers. However, the President refuses to sign any legislation until the Save Act is passed into law!Iran is acting up, as usual. Iran used a drone to attack a ship in the Strait. However, no specific actions are being taken. However, the world still watches to see if Iran will abide by the current "deal."The death toll of the two earthquakes in Venezuela keeps rising daily. As of early today, that number is 589, with many more expected.Dr. Fauci now faces a subpoena to appear before Congress in response to numerous claims of his alleged wrongdoing during COVID-19.Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton, pleaded guilty to one charge of illegal use of National Security information for personal gain. Numerous other charges are pending. And Bolton will certainly face jail time.

Numerous voices can impact you—friends, talking heads on TV, social media influencers, and your family. They may affect you for the better or worse. In today's message, Pastor Richard issues a challenge: What are you allowing to shape your imagination? Are you letting CNN or Fox News mold your worldview? Or are you letting God's Word and the Holy Spirit guide you? It's Jesus' words and actions that ought to have the greatest sway. 

I am so excited to welcome back to the B.rad Podcast, Cynthia Monteleone, my good friend and sprinting mentor coach to numerous Olympic and world champion masters track and field athletes, and a former world champion herself in the 400 meters for women aged 45 and over! Our last show was dedicated to discussing the dangers of chronic endurance training and the wide-ranging physiological benefits of sprinting. This conversation is focused on another hugely important topic: recovery. The workout is the signal. The recovery is where the adaptation occurs. You’re going to learn how Cynthia became a world champion in sprinting while taking four days off per week to recover, why cortisol is not the enemy, and the difference between the productive stress of training and the chronic stress that can interfere with health, hormones, and performance. We also get into sprinting for longevity, chasing youth versus chasing longevity, and the simple recovery habits that matter most: sleep, walking, sunlight, spending time with family, and creating space where your body and nervous system can rebuild. TIMESTAMPS: The body doesn't know whether the stress comes from sprinting, scrolling, financial pressure, or a difficult conversation. It simply responds to stress. [03:37] Cynthia publishes a free newsletter with educational information on various topics such as the importance of recovery. [05:51] There is a difference between chasing youth and chasing longevity. [08:44] The problem of taking outside hormone replacements is common. [12:23] There are natural ways to get around some symptoms like those that hit women in midlife. Men often aromatize testosterone into estrogen, thus the spare tire. [18:10] Cynthia uses a metabolic pinch to analyze what is going on in a client's body. This is based in Chinese medicine. [21:04] The workout is the signal and the recovery is where the adaptation occurs. [22:03] There's a lot of misunderstanding and misinterpretation about what cortisol does in the body. Learn to use Eustress in a positive way. [24:07] Beer creates this enzyme aromatase that changes the testosterone to estrogen. [33:27] If anyone wants to track their longevity potential and their overall wellness and vitality, test your sex hormones frequently. The more calories burned, more classes attended, more miles run, still creates worse results, especially for the menopausal female [34:80] Aging with a broken body is not the best quality of life. [39:04] How can someone become a champion and win the medal but take tremendous amount of recovery time? Don't you have to train every day? [43:18] Walking after meals is such a great habit to adopt. [47:27] Walking in those barefoot shoes basically strengthens your foot. [50:17] Getting the right amount of sleep is essential for all your endeavors. [56:86] Find joy in what you are doing. Decompress, let go of stress. These are very important for recovery and longevity. [01:03:11] Some people think if you have a good diet, you don't need supplements. Some are based in ancestral medicine. [01:03:47] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

Multiculturalism: A Failed Policy Are all cultures equal? Yes, according to multiculturalism. Numerous heads of state including Nicolas Sarkozy (France), Angela Merkel (Germany), and David Cameron (UK) have recently proclaimed that multiculturalism has been an utter failure (see here). Many people are baffled by this position as they confuse multiculturalism as a political normative philosophy with the colloquial use of the term meant to represent cultural, religious, and ethnic heterogeneity (or pluralism). The latter meaning is a very laudable objective to pursue as such diversity creates a richer social tapestry. On the other hand, Multiculturalism (hereafter capitalized) in the first... View Article

Ahead of World Refugee Day, David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, reports from Ukraine on the conditions there, and the state of refugees worldwide as the US has pulled back so dramatically on humanitarian assistance. Photo: KYIV, UKRAINE - MAY 24: People hide in subway during Russian air attacks on May 24, 2026 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia massively attacked Ukraine on the night of May 24, using about 90 missiles of various types and approximately 600 drones. According to Zelenskyy, the main target was Kyiv. There were deaths and injuries because of the attack. Numerous architectural monuments were damaged, including the Kyiv Opera, the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the Contracts House, the Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum, and others. The city's civilian infrastructure was also affected: dozens of residential buildings, several schools, a water supply facility, and a market.

The more hardcore and devoted you get to fitness, the more risk you bring that you might actually be doing things the wrong way and getting counterproductive results. In this episode, I break down 5 ways you may be screwing up your fitness goals—even if you’re consistent, disciplined, and training hard. We talk about why sleep, rest, recovery, and downtime are the foundation for everything else, why the body is a dynamic organism and not a machine you can program, and why you have to be careful about outsourcing your intuition to technology. I also dive into why VO2 max is overhyped, why zone 1 deserves more attention, how chronic cardio and narrow fitness goals can compromise longevity, and why so many people are missing the most important pieces of lifelong fitness: strength, power, and sprinting. In this episode, I reveal that the solution is simple: move frequently at a slow pace, lift regularly, and sprint occasionally. Whether you’re an athlete or someone focused on staying fit, strong, and capable throughout life, this episode will challenge how you think about training for true full-body functional fitness and longevity.

In 2014, the Broaddus family purchased what they believed was their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey. Just days after moving in, they began receiving disturbing letters from an anonymous figure known only as "The Watcher"—someone who claimed to have been observing the house for decades.As the letters grew more personal and threatening, police, private investigators, and even the FBI became involved. Numerous suspects emerged, from neighbors and former residents to internet theories suggesting the house itself may have been at the center of something far stranger.Who was The Watcher? A stalker? Could there be another explanation entirely? Tonight, we examine the timeline, the chilling letters, the leading suspects, and the theory that some believe the house itself may have been haunted.Avery After Dark is a real human hosted podcast that began in 2022.

Good morning. For followers of football, this is an important day. The FIFA men's World Cup begins, and all around the world, fans are preparing themselves to cheer on their favourite team. Although the real stars of the competition are the talented players and their coaches, we should not underestimate the importance of supporters. Numerous pieces of research have shown that the presence of fans does have a positive impact on how well a team plays. So much so, in fact, that they're often called the twelfth player. This became particularly clear during covid when football matches were played without anyone else present. When this happened, the home team advantage melted away. Without a crowd in the stands to cheer them on, the footballers struggled to play their best. The sudden lack of the presence of supporters at games highlighted that fans really do make a difference to how teams play. Today, churches around the world celebrate the feast of St Barnabas. Born in Cyprus, he was originally called Joseph but was renamed Barnabas by the earliest Christians, a name which means ‘son of encouragement'. Stories in the Acts of the Apostles show that Barnabas dedicated his life to encouraging others. He was generous and supportive, brave and compassionate, so much so, in fact, that he is the patron saint of encouragement. This doesn't mean that Barnabas spent his life simply being nice to people. He was courageous. When the apostle Paul first converted, many other Christians were frightened of him and Barnabas stood up for him; but when Paul later fell out with John Mark, for abandoning his missionary journey and returning to Jerusalem, Barnabas supported John Mark against the more powerful Paul. An encourager stands up for you when you need it most. Everyone needs encouragement. We all need people on our side, cheering us on and giving us hope, confidence and the strength to continue. The people who have been most important my life are not the ones who have, entirely correctly, pointed out the many things I've done wrong, but the ones who have given me the vision of who I could be and the things I could do. We need people to believe in us; it is what enables us to do our best. Over the next five weeks, whether you are a football fan or not, perhaps you can take a moment to pause and give thanks for the people who have been your biggest fans in life, and to remember that no matter what form it takes, encouragement really does make a difference.

In this Q&A episode, I answer questions about how to train for varied competitive distances without getting pulled in too many directions, explain my compelling stance on avoiding coffee (and NSAIDs), and give a plug for Dr. Doug McGuff’s “Big 5” total-body workout—a simple, highly effective way to stay strong with just one workout per week. I also share thoughts on how corporations like Whole Foods Market and PF Chang’s continue to sell plenty of crap despite their healthy reputations, discuss the magic of Zone 1 walking for building awesome aerobic fitness, and explain one of the best ways to tell if you’re doing too much strength training. Hint: you shouldn’t be getting sore. These are practical, everyday insights you can use right away to simplify your training, improve your health, and avoid some common mistakes. TIMESTAMPS: Jack, age 60, asks about his running goals. He says he is confused about what Brad says the parameters should be. [01:11] Jack has another question about coffee. Is having that stimulant in the morning helpful for your overall well-being as an athlete? [07:38] Another listener asks: Should I take my high intensity interval training, my strength training like Dr. Doug McGruff's Big Five and a basically walking approach to races? [15:45] Some comments from YouTube include this with Brad's comment: How long should you sprint to achieve all the health benefits? Brad's answer: All your entire life. [17:56] Monica initiates a discussion on the industrial seed oils being used rather than butter in restaurants and even Whole Foods and P.F. Changs. [18:50] Anthony asks about building up aerobic fitness by walking. Brad's response is thatthe aerobic base is built at the lower exercise intensities where your body has sufficient oxygen to develop and fine tune your mitochondrial function [27:00] Chad experiences soreness after trying to complete body weight exercises every other day to failure. Brad answers: If you have recurring soreness from your strength training regimen, you are most certainly overdoing it. [30:48] Dr. Doug McGruff's book, Body by Science, has a great regimen of five big workouts to do once a week. [32:22] Chad is also asking about his schedule for training. You want to have ebbs and flows in your schedule such that you have built in downtime and you always respect the importance of intuition and adjusting on the fly.

By Tim Martens - Fifty years from now, what will our neighbors say about us and our example. Numerous times the Bible reinforces that we should “love our neighbors as ourselves.” This message shows what Biblical wisdom we can learn from our secular neighbors.

Dollar General was a stock market darling for much of the 2010s, but fell on hard times a few years ago. Numerous value investors have been betting that “it's not that bad”, but that turnaround strategy has taken much longer than expected. Lou, Matt, and Tyler all look at the status of the Dollar General turnaround story and what does it take to invest successfully in turnarounds. Plus, thoughts on the Citron Research verdict and whether crowdfunded real estate opportunities are worth it. Tyler Crowe, Matt Frankel, and Lou Whiteman discuss: - Dollar General's earnings - Has Dollar General turned the corner? - Investing in turnaround stocks: What to look for? - Citron Research's Andrew Left found guilty of securities fraud - The value of short selling research - The “ickiness” of the short seller business model - Listener question: Are crowdfunded real estate funds worth it?

A core role of the US Department of Justice is to protect people from abusees by giant corporations.But DOJ's present inhabitants have twisted that mission bassackwards – using the agency to protect corporate abusers from people seeking justice. For example: Big Oil. This massive polluter is insisting that government authorities must save it from its own transgressions. For decades, multibillion-dollar behemoths like Exxon have known that their fossil fuel emissions are increasing climate change, causing catastrophic destruction and deaths from intensified fires, floods, etc. Numerous lawsuits have now been filed demanding that the profiteers behind these horrific losses pay a fair share of the damage they've done.“Noooo,” whined the petro-perpetrators, scampering to Washington and to Republican statehouses to lobby for retroactive blanket immunity from all responsibility. Sure enough, top GOP officials are racing to bail out this murderous industry, which – by the way – finances the political campaigns of those oily officials.But wait… there's much more:* Our so-called “Justice Department” has sued Hawaii and Michigan to deny a “state's right” to sue energy corporations that cause climate change.* A GOP group of state attorneys general are proposing a nationwide “liability shield” that would preemptively excuse oil, gas, and coal polluters from any responsibility for climate damages.* The same group wants the federal government to cut funding to any state or city that sues energy corporations.* And King Donald has decreed that the justice department stop all laws, policies, and suits that “threaten” fossil fuel production.This is blantantly corrupt plutocracy… not to mention stupid!

Today’s episode is a special rebroadcast of one of my all-time favorite conversations on the B.rad Podcast! Every so often, I like to revisit episodes that made a profound impact on me personally and delivered tremendous value to listeners, and this conversation with Thais Gibson is absolutely one of those episodes. I am so pleased to introduce a fantastically awesome show with Thais Gibson, creator of the Personal Development School! When Thais first sent me an overview of what she wanted to discuss, I thought, "Sure, let's talk about it." But I have to tell you, I was completely blown away. This became one of my favorite shows I have ever recorded. Listeners, I truly believe this episode has the potential to be life-changing. I know it was for me. It probably helped that I unknowingly became the guinea pig for much of the conversation. What you'll hear is essentially a live coaching session where Thais demonstrates her expertise and methods using real-life examples from my own experiences—particularly the disconnect between my stated goals and some of my behavior patterns. We focused on the pursuit of wealth and financial security, an area where I occasionally feel frustrated or deficient, perhaps because of subconscious patterns operating beneath the surface. Thais explains the causes of self-sabotage and how to reprogram limiting thought patterns. One of the most fascinating parts of the discussion is when she explains that we're operating from our conscious mind only about three to five percent of the time. If you're someone who listens to podcasts, reads books, and continually educates yourself, your conscious mind may be doing a great job acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. But your subconscious needs and programming can still interfere and pull you off course. So in this episode, it's time for Brad to get processed, dig deep, and explore what's really happening when self-sabotage kicks in. Thais Gibson is a counselor, bestselling author of Learning Love, and co-founder of the Personal Development School. She holds a Ph.D. and more than 13 certifications in modalities including CBT, NLP, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems, shadow work, and hypnosis. After nearly a decade running a successful private practice, she founded The Personal Development School—an online learning platform designed to provide a more accessible and authentic way for people to transform their lives. In fact, after we finished this recording, I enrolled immediately. I encourage you to visit her website and explore what she offers. She offers a test run where you can see what it’s all about—check it out at personaldevelopmentschool.com. Enjoy this special rebroadcast with Thais Gibson! TIMESTAMPS: People may not always be aware that they are self-sabotaging because it usually occurs at a subconscious level. [00:53] Your conscious mind is responsible for roughly 3 to 5 percent of all of your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions or decisions. Your subconscious is responsible for 95 to 97 percent. [04:48] We all have subconscious personality needs. [07:54] Thais uses Brad as an example to unpack what needs it relates to. She asks first, what does he do in his spare time? [09:34] Where does he spend his money? What does he like to learn about? [12:10] Our subconscious mind is also the host of all of our limiting beliefs. [19:46] There is a tool for how to pull up what your limiting beliefs are. [21:42] We're scared of something that's hidden in the periphery at a subconscious level of mind [24:29] Reconditioning is a tool for reprogramming. [26:25] Thais identifies characteristics of people who have been in a relationship with a narcissist. [30:41] Look for the things that trigger you. Plan your limiting belief and use its opposite. [33:02] Step one: What is your core belief and its opposite? Step two: what are 10 memories to support? They can be recent memories, really old memories, doesn't matter. 10 memories to support this new idea about yourself. I am, in fact, good enough. Step three: listen back for 21 days. [34:17] When thinking about financial security, many people struggle with their subconscious as in feeling they don’t deserve it or some parts of society that have a distaste for the inequitable distribution of wealth. [43:10] There are seven areas of life that need attention. Career, financial, mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and relationship. To ignore one area, we will pay for it later. [52:45] What specific things or set of things are you going to do on a daily basis to reprogram? [59:13] So much futile energy and effort toward change without addressing these core issues is going to be tough. [01:06:13] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 354 The Saint of the day is Saints Marcellinus and Peter Saints Marcellinus and Peter's Story Marcellinus and Peter were prominent enough in the memory of the Church to be included among the saints of the Roman Canon. Mention of their names is optional in our present Eucharistic Prayer I. Marcellinus was a priest and Peter was an exorcist, that is, someone authorized by the Church to deal with cases of demonic possession. They were beheaded during the persecution of Emperor Diocletian. Pope Damasus wrote an epitaph apparently based on the report of their executioner, and Constantine erected a basilica over the crypt in which they were buried in Rome. Numerous legends sprang from an early account of their death. Reflection Why are these men included in our Eucharistic prayer, and given their own feast day, in spite of the fact that almost nothing is known about them? Probably because the Church respects its collective memory. They once sent an impulse of encouragement through the whole Church. They made the ultimate step of faith.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The work of history's greatest composers resonates through the centuries, inspiring us with passionate expressions of music at its finest. And quite often, those symphonic masterpieces informed the work of great visual artists too. Numerous examples include Bach and Rubens, Mozart and Reynolds, Beethoven and Constable. But what inspired these maestros when they sat down to create these great works? For many, their work expressed the heart and voice of God, who they believed was the ultimate Creator. Join Horizon for MAESTROS, revealing God's beauty through music and art.

Numerous compelling experiences and sightings have been released within the new UFO file drops from the government, but they have been largely overlooked. In this episode, Stephen Diener digs out these files to expose what may be some of the biggest smoking guns towards disclosure that have been released to the public thus far. In some cases, you may be left asking yourself, how didn't I hear about all of this before?...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon, aka Pocket Monster (Poketto Monsutā). From games and cards to television and movies, Pokémon has defined generations and inspired the entire world. It is more popular today than ever. People steal the cards in major heists, which have gone global, and others use the cards for money laundering. Those of us growing up with this type entrainment, including general anime and manga, were probably told it was stupid and a waste of time and money. But the Japanese beg to differ. These things are an expression of their culture, one that is so influential it has touched the entire world in profound ways. The current Prime Minister quotes Attack on Titan and the government as a whole has decided to help boost these industries, including video games, with 500-billion yen over five years, not because they are failing but due to the fact they are such a key component of the culture — to help spread them while they are already on fire. From storytelling to artwork, and from pushing the boundaries of free speech and creativity to the fantasy and imagination outlet they provide for adults and children. Naturally there are some that despite anime, manga, and video games. They attempt to adulterate them, poison them, and even ban them. Legislation in Texas seeks to ban this part of Japanese culture while various Christian and Jewish groups have over the years argued for the same. Why? Certainly because of religious bigotry, and due to misunderstandings of culture. But could there be more to the story? Perhaps the hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine characters, the archetypical storylines, and the very issue of pushing the boundaries of censorship are highly offensive to a particular agenda. Hentai, for example, sits at the top of most major porn searches naturally and clearly interferes with the artificial propping up of abuse, incest, and LGBTQ content. The same goes for the JAV industry. The pedo argument against anime and manga is popular, but fails to account for key details: the drawings are not human, these things are not just things for kids, the kawaii aesthetic is not understood, fantasy is seen differently, and women make up a signifiant portion of the industry. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on femininity and beauty in Japan whereas ruggedness fills that role in the U.S. Besides, which country has more pedos and more domestic violence? It's not Nippon. Others argue that this kind of entertainment is not productive, despite the Japanese being considered some of those productive people in the world. Meanwhile, America is seen as increasingly lazier. Perhaps the issue is and what these forms of entertainment inspire people to do. Numerous cases exist internationally of people helping others because they were inspired by fictional manga and anime characters. While most of these so-called cartoons can inspire people to do good things, role models in the west often include lowlife degenerates. The One Piece series has even inspired political resistance to tyranny in Asia. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Running a marathon is a bad idea—and in this episode, I explain why. I react to a shocking new study suggesting that during a marathon, the brain may actually consume myelin (the fatty insulation around nerve fibers) for fuel once glycogen stores run low. The researchers reassure us that the brain “bounces back naturally over time.” I’m not so reassured. I talk about the acute damage caused by marathon running—not just to the brain, but also to the heart, kidneys, hormones, immune system, and inflammatory response. I also go deeper into the long-term concerns around extreme endurance training: the diminishing returns of chronic cardio, why endurance training often fails as a fat-loss strategy, the “struggle and suffer” ethos of the endurance scene, and the opportunity cost of spending all your fitness energy shuffling down the road instead of building strength, power, explosiveness, and resilience. I explain why “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is often misunderstood through the lens of hormesis and cumulative stress load, and finish with my preferred approach to lifelong fitness and longevity: walk more, lift weights regularly, and sprint once in a while. TIMESTAMPS: Running a marathon is a bad idea. Running those 26 miles can transform your brain. [01:05] Myelin is the fatty insulation around nerve fibers used as fuel when we run out of glycogen during a marathon. The brain fog one gets is caused by the loss of myelin. [02:24] Brad is looking at the stress on the brain as a result of metabolic myelin plasticity. [04:35] Long distance running places significant demands on the body and brain. [07:10] Numerous critical health immune inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers get temporarily blown off the charts even in the best prepared athletes, but more so in the recreational athletes. [09:45] If you were to go directly from crossing a marathon finish line to the nearest emergency room and have blood drawn, you would have the same lab results as someone suffering from a myocardial infarction, a heart attack. [10:47] There's also prominent research revealing how the immune system is suppressed for a significant period after the marathon. [14:15] The essence of peak performance and achieving bucket list goals is to do them correctly rather than drag a tired, unprepared body to the finish line. [17:58] One study suggests that conducting around two and half hours a week of endurance exercise comfortably paced is sufficient. [20:07] There's extensive and mounting research that endurance training simply does not work for fat loss. [22:14] An overuse injury is an obvious sign that the body is being overwhelmed and the training is not appropriate. [27:38] The obligate runner is one who has taken to the extremes similar to the anorexic needing control. [29:10] Effort and struggle are deeply satisfying when you're pursuing peak performance goals with honor and maintaining constant vigilance over your mental and physical health. [31:52] Putting all that energy to a narrow fitness goal like endurance training, precludes other far more valuable fitness endeavors. [33:53] Broad-based, full body fitness is the key to general health, vitality and longevity. Endurance competency is a small sliver of the big picture. [35:10] Shoes enable poorly adapted people to do an activity that they really shouldn't be doing. [37:16] Running a marathon is such an extreme challenge and it is very difficult to train in an appropriate sensible manner. A low-key casual approach can even lead to excellence in endurance training provided we don't succumb to these crazy influences that turn you into an obligate runner. [39:24] Is the old saying; What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." really accurate? [43:47] You do not have to have sore muscles to grow stronger. Stress and breakdown are a byproduct of something you're doing to try and improve your health [46:27] You can get a detox effect from fasting but you can also improve your digestive system by just changing your diet. Or you can try a cold plunge. [47:24] Benefits come from the mechanical load or the cardiovascular load not the damage to the brain you get when you are overdoing it. [50:46] When thinking of a marathon, think about the pounding of the cement for 26 miles rather than a century bike ride or long distance hiking with low or no impact on your feet.

Careless Spending Can Erode Income Gains Revisited Episode 385 – If your income goes up over time, it doesn't necessarily mean that you’ll be able to save more. If you're not careful, “lifestyle creep” can make things worse. Here are a few ideas on how to fight back against lifestyle creep. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 385 Hello this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode, we take a look back at one of our favorite previous episodes, careless spending can erode income gains. It may be counterintuitive, but sometimes doing better financially can do more harm than good to your savings. This is due to a phenomenon known as lifestyle creep. Lifestyle creep, sometimes referred to as “lifestyle inflation,” occurs when your spending increases as your income rises, turning yesterday's luxuries into today's necessities. Without realizing it, this slow increase in expenses can make it difficult to save money and reach your financial goals. Increases in online shopping, subscription services and food delivery can all be indicators of lifestyle creep.[1] The result is that, in spite of your improved income, you begin saving and investing less and less. What can you do if you see this happening to you? Here are a few ways to resist the impulse spending that comes with lifestyle creep: Use a “buy list.” Resist the impulse to purchase something by instead creating what's called a “buy list.”[2] Put the thing you want to buy on that list. Then, after a designated period of time, say ten days or so, if you still feel like you want it, go ahead and make the purchase.[3] Set up an automatic investment plan. In other words, pay yourself first. You can get money automatically transferred every month from your checking account to a mutual fund or a savings account. Or your employer might also be able to deposit a portion of your paycheck directly into your savings or investment account, or into a cash value life insurance policy. The idea is to save the money before you have a chance to spend it. Realize that there may be emotional reasons for lifestyle creep. Sometimes it's jealousy or personal insecurity that leads us to spend more.[4] If you see this happening, it may be time to think about the things that influence you and how to change them. For example, you may want to spend more time with people who really appreciate you.[5] Also, social media doesn't help. People tend to want to live like others they see online.[6] Perhaps a social media budget or social media vacation can help. If you don't have a budget, maybe it's time to get one. One of the most basic ways to do this is to simply set some limits. Decide how much to spend on discretionary items and find a way to stick to it. Make sure you carefully track your spending. Numerous online budgeting tools can help. Also, be sure to review the plan regularly to see how you're doing and adjust if needed. Become an educated consumer. There may be cheaper options for expensive stuff or experiences. You just have to look around. Perhaps a used item can give you the same satisfaction as a new one. Think carefully if you get a bonus at work. If you get a bonus, it may be a good idea to put it directly towards your savings, so it's already out of sight and out of mind. Audit your spending. If you take a serious look, you may find some extra things that have sneaked into your spending habits. Are they necessities? If not, it may be time to cut back. Every dollar counts! If your income goes up over time, it doesn't necessarily mean that you’ll have more money in your savings or checking accounts. Very often it does, but if you're not careful, lifestyle creep can kill any progress towards your financial goals or even make things worse. The best way to deal with this is up to you, but careful planning and simply thinking through your spending is a good start. This doesn't mean that you're never going to splurge. There's no need to get too worried about small, infrequent, indulgences.[7] Focus on the bigger picture.

The work of history's greatest composers resonates through the centuries, inspiring us with passionate expressions of music at its finest. And quite often, those symphonic masterpieces informed the work of great visual artists too. Numerous examples include Bach and Rubens, Mozart and Reynolds, Beethoven and Constable. But what inspired these maestros when they sat down to create these great works? For many, their work expressed the heart and voice of God, who they believed was the ultimate Creator. Join Horizon for MAESTROS, revealing God's beauty through music and art.

COVID-19 is an ongoing public health challenge, and the disease continues to spread to patients every day. Numerous factors can influence the risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19 including vaccination status, the number and type of medical conditions, immunosuppression, and age, along with sociodemographic factors and nonpharmaceutical interventions. For high-risk patients with non-severe COVID-19, antiviral medications can reduce progression to severe COVID-19 and can reduce the risk of hospitalization and death. Despite guideline recommended use of these medications and demonstrated effectiveness, the use of COVID-19 antiviral medications is low. Pharmacists can play an important role in understanding the ongoing risks and burden of disease with COVID-19, identifying high-risk individuals including hospitalized patients who would benefit from treatment, evaluating recent clinical evidence supporting the use of antiviral therapies, and ensuring access to these therapies. This activity will discuss the most recent clinical evidence surrounding antivirals for COVID-19 and their role in improving patient outcomes.

In June of 2000, George Gibson a successful Veterinarian and researcher for P & G in Cincinnati came home after work, shut this garage door and was never seen alive again. His wife, the equally as successful Paige Smith was headed to New York for a Veterinarian researchers conference. George had a secret life that now would be considered tame, but he had met many women from chat phone lines in person. Although most of the women reported them as "dates" like walking around parks and meeting to talk. George was found bound to a chair, shot NUMEROUS times and two of the couples beloved dogs were also shot with a third and her puppies unharmed.

Jeffrey Epstein appeared to gravitate toward a very specific category of scientist and intellectual during the later decades of his life: elite researchers working at the cutting edge of fields tied to human intelligence, genetics, artificial intelligence, physics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and transhumanist-style theories about the future of humanity. Epstein surrounded himself with prominent academics from institutions like Harvard University, MIT, and other major research centers, often portraying himself as a patron of advanced scientific inquiry. He seemed especially drawn to scientists studying cognition, human behavior, reproductive science, and technological transformation, areas that aligned with his fascination with elitism, genetic legacy, and the idea of shaping future generations through intelligence and selective breeding. Numerous researchers later acknowledged attending dinners, conferences, or meetings funded or organized by Epstein, sometimes years after his 2008 conviction.Critics later argued that Epstein used the prestige of science and academia as both social camouflage and a gateway into elite institutional circles that could rehabilitate his public image. By attaching himself to celebrated thinkers, Nobel Prize winners, futurists, and influential researchers, Epstein cultivated the appearance of being a serious intellectual benefactor rather than a convicted sex offender attempting to re-enter polite society. Several scientists who interacted with him later faced backlash after the depth of those relationships became public, particularly as details emerged about private dinners, funding arrangements, advisory connections, and visits to Epstein's homes and properties. The pattern led many observers to conclude that Epstein was not randomly collecting famous names, but deliberately curating relationships with thinkers whose status, influence, and cutting-edge work fit into his obsession with power, status, intelligence, and social engineering.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Get ready for a wild one! I dive into this Q&A with interesting insights on a variety of topics: designing your own intuitive diet instead of outsourcing decisions to others; the benefits of the hex bar deadlift; how the chemicals in American food—more so than calories—could be driving the obesity epidemic; how to address the root cause of runner’s knee (hint: it’s not switching to minimalist shoes!); and why sprinting for just 10–20 seconds can deliver huge fitness breakthroughs. I also talk about how prominent influencers sometimes overstep their areas of expertise, and why we should perhaps look more to elite athletes and coaches than “the science”; my commitment to total honesty on the show while staying in my lane and preserving personal privacy; and how I balance the Doug McGuff “Big 5” strength workout with sprint training.

Four cadaver dog alerts. A property that reportedly spans over 400 acres. Numerous wells — some wet, some dry, many filled in over the decades. And the FBI spent parts of three days there before announcing they found nothing and walking away. That's the 2022 Green Hollow investigation in a nutshell — and it's the investigation that Lucy Studey-McKiddy says was doomed from the start because they allegedly searched the wrong well. Lucy wasn't reportedly on site to guide them. The agencies drilled into what she says was the water well, not the dry well where she alleges her father Donald Studey disposed of the bodies of dozens of women he allegedly killed over decades. Since that investigation closed, the case has only grown more troubling. Charlotte Studey — one of Don's wives — reportedly died in 1984 from a single gunshot wound in Omaha. Self-inflicted, they said. A re-autopsy reportedly paid for by a documentary production team concluded the original findings didn't add up. Charlotte's manner of death has been officially reclassified as undetermined. Her three daughters are reportedly fighting Omaha police in court to access the sealed investigation files. In May 2025, a private forensic dig at Green Hollow reportedly used ground-penetrating radar and additional cadaver dogs. Both allegedly produced hits in areas that had never been fully searched. No conclusive remains have been recovered from any dig. But the hits keep coming. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who investigated this case independently on the ground in Green Hollow, breaks down what happened and what was missed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I talk about whether you should announce your goals to the world with great fanfare—or just quietly plug away and pursue them. The topic was inspired by a couple of social media clips, including a “sub-11 second 100 meters in 90 days” project, which sounds exciting…but also highlights what we’re seeing more and more today—spouting big goals, getting instant attention, and receiving that payoff without having to continue on and struggle and suffer through the process. I get into the brain science behind this, including how simply announcing a goal—“I’m working on a book,” “I’m training for an Ironman”—can trigger a dopamine spike that tricks you into thinking you’ve already made progress. I also cover the flip side, with research showing that sharing goals can increase accountability and support when done correctly. From there, I break down the nuances: why announcing vague or unrealistic goals can backfire, how you risk turning into a “dilettante” chasing attention instead of results, why process-oriented goals beat outcome obsession (with insights from elite sport and my own experience), and when it actually does make sense to share what you’re working on—like being fully immersed in the journey or reporting real progress, not just talking about it. I also explain why who you share your goals with matters, and how the wrong approach can leave you stuck while the right one can push you forward. It’s a thoughtful look at motivation, accountability, and what it really takes to follow through on meaningful goals in a world full of hype. TIMESTAMPS: We have some differing expert opinions about the value or the strategy of announcing goals to others. Some say it helps keep you accountable. There's good research there. Others reference the emptiness and the risk [01:06] Troy is an example of announcing to all that he will be breaking 11 seconds in the 100 meters. [01:35] Josh is another example of sharing his ambition to try a feat and asks that you follow along to see what goes into this attempt. [03:13] Brad discusses the differences in these two styles. [03:37] It is harmful to attach your self-esteem to specific outcomes. [09:37] Try to let go of the pressure and enjoy the process with a positive attitude. [11:49] Brain research confirms that we can elicit a spike of dopamine by simply announcing a big goal to the public or to your friends. [13:40] The same dopamine hit—with potential backlash—happens when we announce success prematurely. [17:50] There is a meta-study from the American Psychological Association in 2025 that found that sharing a goal was linked to receiving more support from others. [23:41] Do not broadcast vague goals that might be deemed unrealistic by an expert outsider observer. [26:27] Set process-oriented goals. Basketball coach John Wooden said, "Worrying about the scoreboard is a big mistake. Instead, focus on the perfect execution of every possession." [29:02] Announcing goals when you're actually immersed in the difficult and meaningful journey works well. [31:11] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

1. DHS Shutdown and Airport Crisis The discussion centers on a prolonged Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown that led to unpaid TSA agents, widespread airport delays, and near-collapse of airport operations. President Trump issued an emergency order to ensure TSA agents were paid, averting a potential nationwide airport shutdown. The crisis is framed as a direct consequence of Senate Democrats refusing to vote on DHS funding. 2. Political Strategy Behind DHS Funding Democrats are deliberately defunding DHS to block immigration enforcement, particularly ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Republicans ultimately agreed to a short-term funding bill that restores pay to most DHS employees except ICE, as a temporary measure to reopen government operations. Republicans plan to use budget reconciliation (which requires only 50 votes) to pass long-term funding for ICE and border enforcement, potentially locking in funding for up to 10 years. 3. ICE and Border Enforcement Dispute ICE funding becomes the central ideological battleground. Democrats are openly opposing immigration enforcement, including: Deportation officers (ERO) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which handles terrorism, human trafficking, cybercrime, and child exploitation Republicans argue that Democrats’ stance jeopardizes national security and public safety. 4. Senate Votes and Procedural Maneuvering The DHS funding bill ultimately passed the Senate by voice vote late at night, signaling no formal opposition at the moment of passage. The House is expected to pass it, restoring operations and pay for most federal personnel. This outcome is a tactical but temporary Democratic win, soon to be reversed via reconciliation. 5. SAVE Act and Voter ID Controversy The SAVE Act seeks to: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats publicly claim to support voter ID but unanimously voted against a standalone voter ID amendment. Numerous quotes from Democratic leaders supporting voter ID are contrasted with their actual Senate votes, highlighting alleged hypocrisy. Republicans argue that voter ID has overwhelming bipartisan public support. 6. Media Accountability Most mainstream media outlets are accused of shielding Democrats from accountability. CBS News is highlighted as an exception for openly reporting the contradiction between Democratic statements and votes. 7. “Arctic Frost” Investigation (Modern Watergate) The transcript describes a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing into “Arctic Frost,” alleged to be a DOJ operation targeting Donald Trump and conservative institutions. Claims include: Hundreds of subpoenas Surveillance of ~20% of Republican senators Subpoenas for campaign staff, donors, and private citizens Wiretapping of attorney-client communications The scale is described as far exceeding Watergate. 8. Alleged DOJ and FBI Weaponization The Biden administration is accused of politicizing the Department of Justice and FBI. Democrats are criticized for refusing to condemn or even discuss these actions. A sharp contrast is drawn with Watergate-era Republicans who confronted their own party’s president to uphold institutional integrity. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Purpose of Trey’s Law Federal legislation introduced to prohibit Non‑Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) from silencing child victims of sexual abuse. Ensures victims cannot be legally barred from speaking about their own abuse. Victims may choose confidentiality, but it cannot be forced on them. 2. The Story Behind the Law Trey was abused for years at a Missouri summer camp. As an adult, during civil litigation, he was pressured to sign an NDA, which deeply harmed his ability to heal. Trey died by suicide at age 28. His sister, Elizabeth Phillips, has become a leading national advocate, pushing to change the law so no child experiences this again. 3. Widespread Problem of NDAs in Child Abuse Cases Across the country, predators and institutions use NDAs to: Silence victims. Protect institutions from reputational damage. Delay exposure long enough for statutes of limitations to expire. Children often do not disclose abuse until decades later due to delayed disclosure, grooming, and shame. 4. Systemic Issues at Certain Institutions Kanakuk Kamps (Missouri) highlighted as a major example: Numerous allegations and confirmed cases of abuse over decades. Accusations of institutional cover‑ups, pressure on victims, and secrecy agreements. Advocacy groups maintain public databases of known or alleged abusers. Some perpetrators remained in leadership roles or were moved to other ministries. 5. Survivor Testimony Impact A 19‑year‑old survivor, Jayden Harris, spoke publicly for the first time after being protected by Missouri’s version of Trey’s Law.
