  In this Q&A episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker answers questions submitted by EBB Pro Members—each exploring a different facet of evidence-based maternity care.   First, she explores the latest evidence on early induction for gestational hypertension, including findings from the WILL trial and other recent studies. What are the real risks and benefits of inducing labor at 37 or 38 weeks for gestational hypertension? And how should families weigh these decisions with their providers?   Next, Dr. Dekker shares new insights into the effectiveness of acupuncture and acupressure for labor pain, anxiety, and Cesarean recovery. From systematic reviews to randomized trials, the data is growing!   Finally, she looks into the evidence on interpregnancy intervals. What does the research say about the risks associated with short or long gaps between pregnancies? And how might this information apply to those who are pregnant again after a five-year or more break?   (00:00) Intro to Mini Q&A and EBB Pro Membership (02:17) Early Induction for Gestational Hypertension – What the Research Says (06:20) WILL Trial Findings and Recommendations from ACOG and NICE (08:23) Outcomes at 37 vs. 38 Weeks – Cesareans, NICU, and Respiratory Distress (10:15) Balancing Induction Timing and Risks of Continuing Pregnancy (11:03) Acupuncture and Acupressure – New Research and Applications (12:41) Studies on Pain, Anxiety, and Nausea During Labor and Cesareans (14:46) Acupuncture and Cesarean Recovery – Mobility and Pain Management (16:54) Interpregnancy Intervals – Definitions and Research Challenges (19:39) Risks of Short and Long Pregnancy Spacing (23:22) Global Perspectives and Meta-Analysis on Birth Outcomes (26:49) Public Health Implications and Final Thoughts   View the full list of resources and references on ebbirth.com.   For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

In this deeply moving episode, we are joined by Sally Raymond, a Marriage & Family Therapist and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), whose life was forever changed by the tragic loss of her 23-year-old son, Jon, to suicide. Through unimaginable grief, Sally embarked on a powerful journey of healing, rediscovery, and advocacy. Her book, “The Son I Knew Too Late: A Guide to Help You Survive and Thrive,” offers a raw, honest, and profoundly educational look into youth development, trust, and the emotional intelligence we all need—but often lack.Sally courageously shares how her personal tragedy became a mission to help others survive, thrive, and understand the inner world of young people. She draws from the wisdom of Erik Erikson and her own clinical training to explore how emotional wounds from childhood, unmet needs, and trust issues can silently grow into life-threatening despair.This conversation is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone seeking a more compassionate and informed approach to mental health, parenting, and personal growth.

In our final conversation with Dr Margaret Toscano, we'll discuss the chapter in Sara Patterson's book, "The Sept 6 & the Struggle for the Soul of Mormonism." Margaret will discuss her and her husband Paul's reaction to Sara's descriptions of them in the book. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/LqxYh6QHY3E Don't miss our other conversations about the Sept Six: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/sept-six/ Copyright © 2024 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Beyond the Sept 6 More than two decades after the events known as the "Sept 6," Margaret Toscano offers a candid look back, reflecting on the pain of excommunication, the evolution of her personal beliefs, and how she and her husband, Paul Toscano, hope to be remembered beyond that defining moment. Margaret highlights what she feels Patterson's book misses about her and others' journeys since 2003. Toscano reveals that her 2003 interview, featured in the book, captured a time of significant pain. Being kicked out of one's church, even for someone who might not be a "Believer," is deeply painful, particularly when it's tied to one's heritage and family, a sentiment she notes is also true for others like David Wright. She is proud of her ability to navigate that pain and notes the documentation of it in the book is important. Contrary to advice she received to simply "walk away" from Mormonism to heal, Toscano felt compelled to stay engaged. She identifies as Mormon, distinguishing this from being LDS (a member of the LDS Church), and views it as her ethnicity and heritage. This identity is crucial to her, and she has continued to write, research, and discuss Mormon issues, currently working on a book about Heavenly Mother.. Over the past twenty years, Toscano's spiritual journey has evolved. While not a "true believing Mormon," she has reached a point where she can openly say she is a Believer on some level, a stance she felt ashamed of years ago. Her ideas of God are complex and not aligned with traditional Mormon views, but she believes in God, an afterlife, and the soul. She describes herself as a "skeptic believer," a person who doubts everything but has also had experiences that affirm her faith. Crucially, she feels able to claim her spirituality openly, something she couldn't do as easily two decades prior. She asserts that being a scholar and an intellectual is compatible with having faith. A major point of reflection for Toscano is the legacy she and Paul desire. They explicitly state they do not want the September Six to be the sole definition of who they were. Margaret doesn't want to be remembered "simply as a dissident," nor does Paul want to be remembered simply as one of the Sept 6. Toscano highlights that Paul's faith journey continued significantly after 2007, when the book reportedly leaves him having lost his faith. Paul has since "found his faith again," seeing himself as a Mormon Christian with a deep testimony of Jesus Christ, which informs his interpretation of the Book of Mormon and his extensive writing. Margaret is immensely proud of Paul's intellectual output, which includes some fifteen books—theology, memoir, novels, essays, and more. She wishes for him to be remembered primarily as a "man of Mormon letters," an important Mormon intellectual, and a brilliant writer. As for herself, Toscano hopes to be remembered as an important Mormon scholar and a beloved teacher at the University of Utah, emphasizing her continued work and care for the Mormon community. She underscores the importance of remembering and being remembered, noting her critique that the book overlooks the continued contributions and experiences of many involved in the 1993 events, including her own work and relationships since 2003. Toscano also touches on the changes she's observed in Mormon studies and at the Sunstone conference, where she was a frequent participant for decades..

Purpose is a factor of life that every man knows will improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, we seem to be in an era when purpose is increasingly abysmal in the lives of too many men. Men in all walks and stages of life are floundering around aimlessly, wondering why they're anxious, depressed, and alone. My guest today, Garrett Unclebach, former Navy SEAL, is a man who is intimately familiar with why and how purpose drives men to step up, take charge of their lives, and succeed. We unpack why a man must look beyond himself, how surrendering in certain circumstances could lead you to an incredible place you've never considered, the power of equanimity and how to cultivate it, why being faithful when you have nothing leads to a life of prosperity and abundance, and how to judge what you should be doing and who you should be doing it with.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

[26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience.

How bringing conscious awareness to our self-dialogue can help us change it. Why all unnecessary suffering is the resistance to accepting the isness. How embracing the edge of you makes life more joyful. [59:00] Feel It All Why we need to respect the mystery of God. How Akshay saw value in the delusion he was experiencing during the expedition. Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience. The only way out of the suffering is through it. [01:06:30] The Power of Language How soft talk disempowers us. What led Akshay to become more conscious of his language.

Why other people's lens of reality doesn't change who we are. How Akshay only took a day off from walking Antarctica on day 50.

Jon Buehler from Jacksonville asks: "How do you maintain the consistency and intensity with prospecting? I find myself doing these sprints to get momentum, but struggle to keep that momentum going for long, sustained periods of time." Jon's question gets to the heart of one of the most significant challenges in sales: maintaining disciplined, consistent, daily prospecting over the long haul. It's a challenge that plagues even experienced sales professionals. In this Ask Jeb article and Sales Gravy Podcast, I dig into why this happens and how to fix it. The Prospecting Paradox Prospecting is the lifeblood of sales success, yet it's the activity most salespeople hate and avoid. This creates a dangerous pattern I call the "desperation rollercoaster"—a cycle that wreaks havoc on your results, your mental health, and ultimately your career. Here's how it works: You prospect hard for a while, fill your pipeline, and start closing deals. Life is good. Then you get busy servicing those new clients and tell yourself you've "earned a break" from prospecting. Your prospecting activity slows down or stops entirely. Fast forward 30-90 days, and suddenly your pipeline is dry. Panic sets in. Your manager is breathing down your neck. Your commission checks shrink. Only then do you rediscover your "motivation" to prospect. And the cycle repeats. Up and down. Feast and famine. This isn't a strategy; it's a recipe for burnout and inconsistent performance. The Hidden Costs of Inconsistent Prospecting The desperation rollercoaster creates damage far beyond just an empty pipeline. When you're desperate for deals, everything about your sales approach deteriorates: You become pushy and pitchy instead of consultative You come across as desperate and insecure You focus exclusively on what YOU need, not what the PROSPECT needs Your discovery questions become shallow You skip crucial steps in your sales process You discount aggressively because you have no leverage Your negotiation and closing skills deteriorate In short, when you're desperate for deals, you sell terribly. Inconsistent prospecting doesn't just hurt your pipeline—it undermines your entire sales approach. The 30-Day Rule: Why Consistency Matters More Than Intensity In Fanatical Prospecting, I discuss the "30-Day Rule": The prospecting you do in this 30-day period will pay off in the next 90 days. This rule explains why inconsistent prospecting is so dangerous. When you take even a single day off from prospecting, it creates a hole in your pipeline 30-90 days from now. Take a week off, and you create a significant gap. Take a month off, and you essentially guarantee a sales crisis in your near future. Understanding this principle makes it crystal clear why consistency trumps intensity every time. I'd rather see you make 20 prospecting calls every day for a month than 100 calls in a single day and nothing for the rest of the month. The Pain and Pull Method for Maintaining Motivation So how do you maintain your prospecting discipline when motivation inevitably fades? I use the "Pain and Pull" method. The Pain: Visualize the Consequences When I don't feel like prospecting (and yes, even after decades in sales, I still have those days), I vividly picture what will happen if I skip it: The stress of an empty pipeline 60 days from now The uncomfortable conversation with my team The hit to my income and reputation The desperation that will undermine my sales approach By focusing on the pain I'll experience in the future if I skip prospecting today, I create immediate motivation to pick up the phone. The Pull: Connect to Your Why My friend Victor Antonio calls this "the big pull," connecting your daily prospecting discipline to your most important goals and aspirations. Nobody wakes up excited to make cold calls. But many people wake up excited about buying their dream home, sending their kids to college,

“Inflammation is one of the root causes of many of our health issues, and we have the power to overcome it.” Western medicine has a toolkit that can be very effective, but, especially as fibromyalgia patients, we need options. Whether it's a prescription, practice, or natural supplement, expanding our fibro toolkit means that we're prepared no matter how life shifts on us. That's where natural options like turmeric can be an important addition to your fibro toolbox for managing symptoms like pain and inflammation. In this Ask the Coach episode, Tami is joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta, an Ayurvedic practitioner who has her PhD in turmeric. In a world where conventional pain medications are no longer our first choice, the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric and its active compound, curcumin, have gained significant attention as natural alternatives. In this conversation, Tami and Dr. Shivani discuss Ayurveda, its history, and its holistic approach to health and healing,  key principles of Ayurveda, why Dr. Shivani chose to study Ayurveda, her PhD research on turmeric, the difference between turmeric and curcumin, curcumin's potency and why consuming turmeric itself is probably not enough, how Dr. Shivani developed her products, the role of sleep in reducing inflammation and overall health management, the importance of sourcing high-quality curcumin, the lack of regulation in the supplement industry, why she chose to have her products third-party tested, Tami and Dr. Shivani's experiences with supplement quality and safety, the surprising statistics around loq quality and counterfeit supplements, the high standards required for supplements used in functional medicine, balancing natural remedies with conventional medicine for effective treatment, how to start supplementing with curcumin, who should avoid taking curcumin, the role of health coaches in simplifying health management, what to look for in your search for high-quality supplements, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

While women's gatherings offer beautiful opportunities for sisterhood, laughter, and validation, they can unwittingly become breeding grounds for negative thought patterns. Each time we share our struggles, about parenting difficulties, business challenges, or relationship problems, without the intention to think differently, we strengthen neural pathways attached to those limiting stories. What begins as validation transforms into an emotional quicksand where our pain becomes our personality.The difference between healing and habitual reliving is subtle but profound: healing happens when you hear something unfamiliar and let it land, while habitual reliving just replays the same painful narrative. One expands your emotional bandwidth; the other contracts it.This episode contains practical guidance for transforming validation from mere comfort into a catalyst for change. By asking yourself "Am I building a bridge out of this experience or digging myself deeper into it?" before sharing, you can harness the true power of connection. Your friendships can either reinforce your limitations or inspire your growth, the choice lies in your intention.Take a moment to reflect on how you're using your conversations. Are you training your brain to love your story more than the solution? The path to transformation begins with allowing yourself to be not just seen but also challenged, not just validated but truly changed.Start with this Description----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If this podcast has benefited you, imagine the value of a one-on-one meeting with me!

“We spend so much of our life trying to put the pieces back in the dollhouse… the furniture changes, the people change.” — Beverly Jean Armento In this emotional episode of Uncorking a Story, Michael Carlon sits down with author and educator Beverly Jean Armento to discuss her powerful memoir, Seeing Eye Girl. Beverly reflects on a childhood marked by violence, secrecy, and trauma—and how the love of teachers, a resilient spirit, and the act of writing helped her reclaim her story. Now in her 80s and still writing, Beverly proves it's never too late to transform pain into purpose. Key Themes: The Broken Dollhouse as a Metaphor for Trauma: Beverly recounts a pivotal childhood moment—the night her family imploded—through the lens of a shattered dollhouse. That image would become a central metaphor for the chaos and damage wrought by familial dysfunction. The Silent Strength of “Strong Beverly”: For decades, Beverly coped with her trauma by compartmentalizing—presenting as competent and successful on the outside while suppressing her pain. It wasn't until much later that “Strong Beverly” made room for healing. Teachers as Lifelines: Beverly credits a string of devoted educators—her “angel teachers”—with being her saving grace. Each one provided a safe space, encouragement, and belief in her when her home life did not. The Power and Pain of Memoir Writing: It wasn't until retirement that Beverly began to write her story. Through guided prompts and emotional breakthroughs, she discovered that telling the truth—however painful—was both a burden and a liberation. The Essential Role of Forgiveness: Beverly's decision to forgive her mother came during a profound therapy exercise involving her mother's ashes and a conversation between “little Beverly” and her imagined mother. That moment lifted a lifelong weight. Legacy, Perspective, and the Late Blooming Artist: Beverly published Seeing Eye Girl at 81 and is already working on a follow-up. With age came perspective, and with perspective came compassion—for herself, her parents, and her past. Trauma is Timeless—So is Hope: While her story takes place decades ago, the issues of abuse, resilience, and the search for meaning remain relevant. Her memoir speaks not only for herself but for anyone who has grown up in chaos and fought their way to clarity.

In a notable policy shift, the new conservative government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz has reversed its longstanding opposition to nuclear power. The move reflects a growing understanding in Berlin that overreliance on unreliable solar and wind power generation poses serious risks to economic stability and energy security. The shift also signals a broader return to common-sense energy policymaking in Europe, with nuclear power increasingly viewed as critical in France in achieving reliable, low-carbon power generation.

He learned from the yogis in Mysore and the best callisthenics, mobility and flexibility coaches who were super fit in their 50s and 60s.  He began to understand that his body was riddled with injuries and how to rebuild himself from the ground up. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show: ·       Five essential movements include squats, ground sitting, and toe touching. ·       Chronic pain can be addressed through consistent mobility practices. ·       Ground sitting is a simple yet effective daily practice. ·       Environmental design can encourage more movement throughout the day. ·       Flexibility training should be strength-focused to avoid injuries. ·       Common complaints include low back, knee, and shoulder issues. ·       Strengthening the back and stretching the front can alleviate many problems. ·       Mobility practices should be integrated into daily routines. ·       Injury management requires working around pain to maintain strength.  Mobility and flexibility are crucial for long-term health. ·       Injury management should prioritise alternatives to surgery. ·       The psychology of injury plays a significant role in recovery. ·       Rebuilding strength after injury is essential for recovery. ·       Pain can be a signal of adaptation, not always harm. ·       Foot health is vital, especially for runners and active individuals. ·       Supportive footwear and foot exercises can help with plantar fasciitis Today's podcast is sponsored by my 1:1 online coaching:  https://briankeanefitness.com/one-to-one-online-coaching   (Website) Personal Trainer for Busy Guys Over 30 - Conor O'Shea   (Facebook) https:// Www.facebook.com/conorosheafit88   (YouTube) Conor O' Shea - YouTube   (Spotify) Strong For Life Blueprint | Podcast on Spotify   (Podcast) The Strong For Life Podcast - Podcast - Apple Podcasts

Summary Dr. David Rosenblum delivered a comprehensive lecture on gender differences in opiate effects and prescribing practices. He discussed several key studies examining how opiates affect males and females differently, both in animal models and humans. Dr. Rosenblum shared findings showing that morphine has stronger analgesic effects in males, while females experience longer-lasting effects. He also addressed racial disparities in opiate prescribing, noting that white patients are more likely to receive opiates. From his personal clinical experience in Brooklyn, Dr. Rosenblum observed that certain populations tend to be at higher risk for opiate abuse. The lecture covered gender-specific risk factors for opiate misuse, with women tending toward emotional/psychological factors and men showing more behavioral issues.

Consider the profound teachings of the Lokavipati sutta. Drawing from the wisdom of the Buddha, Margaret reveals how our responses to the eight worldly conditions—gain and loss, status and disgrace, censure and praise, pleasure and pain—shape our experiences of suffering and peace. As she delves into these vicissitudes, she encourages listeners to reflect on their judgments and reactions to life's inevitable ups and downs. This sutta emphasizes the distinction between the uninstructed person and the well-instructed disciple of the Noble Ones, highlighting the importance of mindfulness and awareness in navigating life's challenges. Margaret encourages us to embrace impermanence, reminding us that our thoughts and feelings about gain or loss, praise or censure, and pleasure or pain are often transient and subject to change. Through engaging discourse and insightful reflections, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that equanimity can be cultivated, allowing us to confront life's dualities with grace and understanding. Join Margaret on this journey of contemplation and self-discovery, as she invites you to consider how embracing impermanence can lead to deeper peace and freedom from suffering. Whether you're new to Buddhist teachings or looking to deepen your understanding of equanimity, this episode promises valuable insights and practical wisdom for living a balanced life. Tune in, reflect, and carry these teachings with you throughout your week.

Join Pastor Joe LoMusio for part 4 of our series, "When Life Is Tough"

ANTRA GETZOFF & MARIA ENSEBELLA discuss the healing power of cryotherapy and their new book, “Reinventing Cool: How to Make COLD Your Best Ally Against Inflammation, Pain and Aging,” in which they  explain the science behind why modern-day whole-body cryotherapy is not like ‘an ice bath on steroids' and just why it really is the best option for your health.   Antra Getzoff, born and schooled in Latvia, has been a cryotherapy & wellness entrepreneur for more than 13 years of her diverse career in business.   Like most cryotherapy aficionados, she first discovered the power of cold on her own body, finding stress relief, energy boost and sleep improvement in the difficult times of running a 250-people company through the 2008 financial crisis.   In 2018, Antra founded the International Alliance for Cryotherapy Professionals (CryoProsUnited) – an industry-unifying resource and training platform and community that soon grew to several thousand members worldwide. Reborn into GetResultsCo, her company keeps educating cryotherapy providers and promoting the best practices in the industry. She is also a Vice-Chair of the Global Wellness Institute Cryotherapy Initiative.   Maria Ensabella had always had a keen eye for health and fitness; actually, more aesthetics and fitness than health. Weight training, marathons, yoga, boxing etc.   At the heart of her journey was the amazing concept of Cryotherapy, the centerpiece of her life, and the backbone of her health optimisation and wealth accumulation.   While visiting New York City, Maria was introduced to Whole Body Cryotherapy and decided to research it and try out a session; it felt amazing, like a million bucks. The positive experience with Cryotherapy led to trying further sessions in Melbourne and Sydney, again resulting in amazing results, Maria felt like she was walking on air. So, upon her return to London, she was disappointed to discover that this renewing therapy was simply not accessible. She immediately quit her job and decided to establish a clinic where others could enjoy the numerous benefits of this rejuvenating therapy. It was a huge risk, but one worth taking and so, LondonCryo was born.   In their book they also describes unique client case studies and little-known scientific research.

Kyle Richards has received some heartbreaking news over the past week as the RHOBH new season cast announcement is expected to drop any day now. Jax has realized he is not meant to be in a relationship, to nobody's surprise, and Brittany seems to be loving the drama of this season on The Valley just a little bit too much.
