While public interest in the unexplained continues to grow and topics like cryptozoology and UFOs become more mainstream, some phenomena still remain too unsettling to discuss openly. Among these are the chilling encounters with cloaked or invisible entities, shadowy beings whose presence is felt more often than openly reported. Countless eyewitnesses have described terrifying experiences of unseen figures seemingly watching, stalking, or hunting them. But what are these hidden predators, and why do their victims feel such profound dread? In this episode, we examine some of the most bizarre and unsettling encounters with these “Glimmer Intruders.” From hunters stalked by shimmering humanoids in the woods to homeowners confronting phantom intruders, we explore cases that challenge our understanding of reality itself. We discuss strange sightings that resemble the cloaking technology portrayed in the iconic film “Predator,” yet predate its release by decades, including unnerving personal accounts from across the globe. Then, for our Plus+ members, we step into the realm of energy healing and bodily mysteries. We investigate wild reports from energy medicine pioneer Donna Eden, including cases of bi-location during severe PMS episodes, phantom limbs possessing ESP-like awareness, and bizarre energy disruptions during deep meditative states. These accounts reveal the extraordinary abilities of the human body and mind, abilities science has yet to fully understand.

If you're a pet lover, it's natural to want your fur baby to be around forever. Even the thought of losing your animal best friend--a source of constant companionship, unconditional love, and joy--can be tough. And when that end does come, the pain can be truly heart wrenching and even immobilizing. From personal and professional experience, I've found that the loss of a pet--and the grieving process that follows--can be one of life's most devastating and hard-to-move-on-from events. In truth, there is something so indescribably sacred and precious about the human and pet companion bond that our hearts--so stuck in grief--can find it difficult to move on. Yet life calls us to move forward, to find peace, and, in time, maybe even a new friend to care for and love. Join Dr. Carla and NYT bestselling author and pet grief specialist, Jon Katz, who will support us in understanding and healing from pet loss. Topics discussed include dogs, pets, companionship, pet loss, death, support animals, emotional support, loss, grief, cancer, dying, vets, veterinarians, psychotherapy, farms, farm animals, anthropomorphism, connection, love, compassion, awareness, cycle of life, relationships, kindness, perspective, and pain.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

The research is so clear… if you want to speed up your biological age, don't use hormones.  You can be so healthy and dialed in with your habits, but even that won't stop your hormones from inevitably plummeting in midlife.  That's why Dr. Amy Killen joins the show to dive into the realities of women's health in midlife and how hormone replacement can be a game-changer. This conversation sheds light on what's really happening inside your body in midlife—and what you can do about it!  Dr. Amy breaks down how hormone replacement therapy (HRT), targeted supplements, and strategic lab testing can be huge for your energy, cognition, and longevity.  We'll also cover the lifestyle changes that truly move the needle in midlife, and how to stay proactive instead of stuck in “default mode.” If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still struggling, this episode will make you feel seen and offer real solutions. It's time to feel inspired, empowered, informed, and ready to take ownership of your midlife health journey!  Amy Killen, M.D. Dr. Amy Killen is a leading physician in regenerative and hormone optimization medicine, specializing in women's health.

It can help with the drive to do the lifestyle things. And I've seen that a lot.” “We can increase human lifespan in women with these hormones and they're very inexpensive, yet less than 5% of women have access [to them].” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Amy's Website  *Join Dr. Amy's Newsletter here and get her FREE Supplement Guide!

A Note From The Host: Years ago when I found her first book in our Oprah Magazine offices books section, I discovered that Aimee Raupp is an NYC-based acupuncturist and women's health specialist. I began seeing her instantly, and have continued to do so to this day. It was back then that I learned about the details of really clean eating. I learned about bone broth before it became a health and wellness buzz phrase. These days, Aimee's practice has evolved to include a focus on guiding women through fertility and pregnancy. In this episode, we're talking nutrition: for fertility and egg quality, for baby, and for general optimal health.The Egg Quality Diet – what is it? How is this diet good for other aspects of health? What else can it help? Eating for egg quality. Eating for general fertility. How to feed baby once they've transitioned to food. What to focus on feeding baby for brain health and general optimal health. What does Aimee as a health professional, choose to eat, and what does she always avoid? The 3 Avoids. How Aimee chooses food when she lacks the ability to make the meal: the way to cleaner foods and what to order when eating out.Discover more + Shop The Podcast:aimeeraupp.comChill Out And Get Healthy: Live Clean To Be Strong And Stay Sexy by Aimee Raupp Yes, You Can Get Pregnant by Aimee RauppBody Belief: How to Heal Autoimmune Diseases, Radically Shift Your Health, and Learn to Love Your Body More by Aimee RauppThe Egg Quality Diet by Aimee RauppSuper Nutrition For Babies by Katherine Erlich, MDBrodo bone brothsDiscover the episode and more on storyandrain.comfollow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Instagram follow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Threadsall about the host

The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.KISMETWhile many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.EPISODE SUMMARYBen Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.NOTABLE QUOTE"God built my body and all of our bodies to heal itself.

We often expect love and relationships to be easy--and perfect--but the best of relationships are much like a bountiful garden that needs regular doses of tender loving care. And, like the weeds that can strangle and overtake a healthy garden, issues such as blame, resentment, and chronic conflict can ruin even the most promising relationship. Over time, I've come to see that imperfections are a natural part of all relationships, and that it's how we handle the imperfections and stumbles that make all the difference. Today, I'm joined by an Emmy-award winning couple, Sean Kanan and Michele Kanan, who offer a guiding light through their new relationship books and deeply love-filled paradigm. With the mantra, "Two hearts. One soul," as their foundation, Sean and Michele bring an abundance of honesty, depth, wisdom, and vulnerability to this compelling episode.Topics discussed include betrayal, love, relationships, marriage, infidelity, affairs, extramarital affairs, adultery, dating, honesty, genuineness, self-development, self-awareness, rules, agreements, attachment theory, secure attachment, anxious attachment, insecure attachment, film, television, conflict, fighting, communication, trust, safety, security, healing, convenienceship, origin story, growth, curiosity, priorities, work, career, film, movies, Emmy® awards, Cobra Kai, Karate Kid, family, success, children, blended family, blended families, divorce, resentment, blame, shame, worthiness, self-love, inner strength, becoming, unbecoming, healing, authentic self, and forgiveness.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Do you know what magical action has the power to boost your mood, bolster your immune system, banish stress, lessen pain, and foster connection? If you guessed "laughter," you're on target. Research consistently shows that laughter truly is one of life's best medicines, yet our stress-filled lives tend to leave little space for self-care and the healing power that laughing brings. And especially if you tend toward perfectionism or depression, getting a good dose of laughter might be the furthest thing from your mind and even non-existent on your to-do list. But there are simple steps each one of us can take to foster more laughter--and reduce stress--each day. Join me and stress expert Professor Pete Alexander for a mindful exploration into the uplifting power of laughter. Topics discussed include mental health, physical health, perfectionism, stress, parenting, attachment, insecure attachment, secure attachment, diabetes, heart health, hospitalization, inflammation, cortisol, endorphins, neurochemicals, laughter yoga, yoga, EMDR, MER therapy, toxic perfectionism, stress relief, stress relief activities, work, burnout, mindset, play, joy, immune system, self-care, fulfillment, happiness, and balance.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) as an indicator of mortality and longevity. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Darren Schmidt.  Darren Schmidt, DC is the Founder of The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor which is the largest non-insurance nutrition clinic in the country.  His purpose is to bankrupt pharmaceutical companies by teaching doctors how to improve health rather than treat symptoms.  He uses new and old clinical discoveries to solve complex chronic illness with only diet and supplements.  He uses MVX Plus, the best lab test to measure longevity and health, and it also directs the treatment plan. Key Takeaways: What is MVX? What are the 6 factors and 3 indices that are explored with MVX? How might MVX be a better metric for mortality than many conventionally-used metrics today? Can MVX be extrapolated to be used as a measure of health and longevity? What is GlycA?  What drives it? What tools can be used to lower GlycA? What is the connection between GlycA and hypercoagulation? Why is eGFR and kidney health often used on the context of predicting mortality? What is small HDL particle number?  How can it be optimized? What is the Inflammation Vulnerability Index? What is citrate?  What tools can be used to lower it when elevated? What is the connection between citrate and mitochondrial function? What is lactic acidosis? What is learned from looking at valine, leucine, and isoleucine? What steps may be taken if they are high?  If they are low? What is the Metabolic Malnutrition Index? When might a keto diet be appropriate? What does the Metabolic Vulnerability Index tell us? Is MVX impacted by genetics or epigenetics? What is the 7 Step Blueprint to Optimal Health? How do the 7 steps overlap with the 6 MVX factors?
