Episode Summary Queen conch have long been a cultural, ecological, and economic cornerstone throughout the Caribbean, but decades of overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate impacts have caused populations to decline dramatically. In this episode, Becky Holt and Dr. Megan Davis of the Florida Atlantic University Queen Conch Lab share how their team is working to reverse that trend through restoration aquaculture, community partnerships, and an innovative network of mobile hatcheries deployed throughout the Caribbean. The conversation explores how the Queen Conch Lab evolved from a single collaborative project in Puerto Rico into a growing regional initiative with mobile labs operating across multiple Caribbean nations. Becky and Megan discuss everything from the biology of queen conch and their role in maintaining healthy seagrass ecosystems to the logistics of raising larvae, training local communities, and building long-term conservation programs. They also reflect on winning the 2025 Responsible Seafood Summit Innovation Award and their vision of establishing a queen conch farm in every Caribbean country. Featured Guests Dr. Megan Davis - Research Professor and Director, Florida Atlantic University Queen Conch Lab Becky Holt - Assistant Director, Florida Atlantic University Queen Conch Lab Key Topics Covered Why queen conch are critical to Caribbean ecosystems and coastal communities How conch help maintain healthy seagrass beds and biodiversity The development of mobile queen conch hatcheries Community-based restoration and local workforce training The lifecycle and aquaculture process of queen conch “Conch ranching” and nursery release strategies Educational outreach through the “Conch in the Classroom” program Challenges facing queen conch populations, including climate change and overfishing The Queen Conch Lab's 2025 Responsible Seafood Summit Innovation Award win The future potential for commercial queen conch aquaculture Key Takeaways Queen conch play a major ecological role by naturally grazing and cleaning seagrass habitats. Successful restoration efforts depend heavily on local partnerships and community involvement. Mobile hatcheries allow restoration projects to operate in remote Caribbean regions without major infrastructure needs. Queen conch restoration creates both conservation benefits and economic opportunities for local communities. Education and hands-on engagement are helping inspire the next generation of ocean stewards throughout the Caribbean. The Queen Conch Lab's long-term vision is to establish restoration-focused conch farming initiatives throughout the Caribbean region.

Episode Summary In this episode of Aquademia, hosts Justin Grant and Maddie Cassidy explore how aquaculture, entrepreneurship, and education intersect through the SeaMade Kelp Bar project at the University of New England. Guests Jaden Schoppee, student CEO of SeaMade, and Cameron Wake, Director of the Center for North Atlantic Studies, share how a kelp-based nutrition bar evolved into a fully student-led business and hands-on learning experience. The conversation dives into how students are actively involved in every stage of the process—from harvesting kelp off the coast of Maine to managing production, branding, and regulatory challenges. It's a real-world example of experiential learning in action, where students are solving complex business, sustainability, and food system challenges while building career-ready skills. Featured Guests Jaden Schoppee — Student Project Manager & CEO, SeaMade Kelp Bar, University of New England  Dr. Cameron Wake — Director, Center for North Atlantic Studies, University of New England  Hosts: Justin Grant & Maddie Cassidy  Key Topics Covered The origin story of SeaMade Kelp Bars  How kelp is harvested and turned into a nutrition bar  Student-led business structure and interdisciplinary collaboration  Challenges in food labeling, nutrition testing, and ingredient sourcing  University support vs. entrepreneurial flexibility  Real-world problem solving in experiential education  Sustainability and the future of kelp in food systems  Maine aquaculture and its connection to the lobster industry  Key Takeaways SeaMade Kelp Bars are both a product and a living classroom, integrating aquaculture, nutrition, marketing, and business education.  Students are not just observing—they are actively running production, solving operational challenges, and making strategic business decisions.  Small changes in ingredients or suppliers can significantly impact nutrition labeling, cost, and compliance.  Kelp offers a highly sustainable, nutrient-rich ingredient with strong potential for future food systems.  Real-world uncertainty (weather, infrastructure, regulations) is a constant part of aquaculture and food production.  Links & Resources Mentioned University of New England: SeaMade Kelp Bar Project: Information Seaweed Saturday Event — Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI): https://gmri.org SeaMade Kelp Bar Instagram: @SeaMadeKelpBar Global Seafood Alliance: Check out our website!: https://www.globalseafood.org/podcast Follow us on social media: Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram Share your sustainability tips with us podcast@globalseafood.org!

Integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen combines conventional rheumatology medications with lifestyle and environmental health approaches to manage autoimmune disease, emphasizing nutrition, sleep, exercise, the gut microbiome, and reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and contaminated water. They discuss how immunosuppressive drugs can be lifesaving but carry infection risks, and how “risk mitigation” and anti-inflammatory dietary patterns can support resilience. Cohen highlights vitamin D's importance in autoimmunity and COVID outcomes and lists four foundational supplements: a clean multivitamin (including iodine), vitamin D3 guided by blood levels, a quality probiotic, and omega-3 fish oil with adequate EPA+DHA; they also cover cautious use of curcumin, limited enthusiasm for glucosamine/chondroitin, and a measured view of collagen. Cohen promotes her hybrid Smart Human Health Summit on women's health (Saturday, April 25), featuring clinicians speaking on menopause/HRT, dementia, cardiology, endocrinology, GLP-1s, and toxins, with in-person, virtual, and recorded access.

Doug & Matt Q&A: Scam Warnings, Private Placements, Gold Outlook, Business Advice, and Living Abroad Doug and Matt warn subscribers about scammers impersonating them on Substack to pitch a mentorship program with urgent funding deadlines, stressing they will never solicit business opportunities and that their only related activity is sharing private placement ideas with VIP members. They discuss strong recent performance in small mining stocks, arguing the sector remains tiny, illiquid, and largely unowned by the public and fund managers, and explain why they favor private placements for discounts and warrants, citing a VIP deal in Midnight Sun copper explorer bought at $0.22 with a $0.30 warrant and later trading above $1.35. They answer questions on starting or buying businesses by focusing on solving niche problems and avoiding "influencer" strategies, remain bullish on gold and related stocks, discuss English-speaking relocation options and Chile's livability, share stories about reckless youthful speeding, touch on glyphosate concerns, and speculate about potential U.S. action against Iran. 00:00 Scam Alert Mentorship Messages 01:18 Mining Stocks Bull Market Thesis 03:16 Private Placements VIP Strategy 05:17 Starting Businesses Finding a Niche 07:11 Influencer Culture Reality Check 11:04 Reinvesting Profits Trend Following 11:51 Second Residency English Options 14:43 Corvette Chase Jail Story 17:27 Muscle Cars and Drag Racing 20:16 Gold Price Overextension Debate 23:21 Living in Chile Pros and Cons 26:12 Glyphosate and Organic Food 28:06 Holding Cash in Treasuries 28:44 Buying a Business Owner Financing 30:33 Iran War Talk and Wrap Up

What’s really behind America’s growing health crisis—and can we actually fix it? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with filmmakers Patrick and Ashley Sullivan, creators of the powerful new documentary Breaking Big Food. After facing their own cancer diagnoses, the Sullivans set out to uncover how America’s food system may be fueling chronic disease—and what individuals can do to take back control. From ultra-processed foods and seed oils to Big Food, Big Pharma, and government influence, this conversation exposes the hidden forces shaping what we eat. They also break down the rise of the MAHA movement, the truth about food labels, and why so many Americans feel overwhelmed trying to eat healthy. But there’s hope. Tudor and the Sullivans explore how local food systems, small businesses, and everyday choices can help reverse chronic illness, rebuild communities, and create lasting change—without waiting on Washington. If you’ve ever wondered why “you can’t eat just one,” or how to break free from unhealthy habits, this is a must-listen episode. Topics Covered: The real story behind Breaking Big Food Cancer, chronic disease & food system failures The MAHA movement explained Big Food vs. local food revival How to start making healthier choices today Can America fix its broken food system?

Timestamps & Key Topics: 00:00:00 - Introduction Introduction to the episode theme focusing on health and nutrition. 00:01:13 - Brad's Health Journey Update Overview of Brad's personal health journey and commitment to fitness.

Key Takeaways: Effective Workouts: Focus on controlled movement and adequate rest during workouts for maximum muscle gain.

Prioritize recovery with a resting period of 3-5 minutes between sets. Meal Planning: Start planning meals in advance to reduce the chances of last-minute takeout or unhealthy choices.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls? 

Text us a comment or question!We're living longer - but not healthier. Chronic disease, obesity, cancer, and cognitive decline are skyrocketing, and most of us have been led to believe it's all about food and fitness.
