So, after two long years of campaigning, this week the Parky Charter – our set of demands for the government – had its moment in Parliament. With the Movers & Shakers and other supporters in attendance, MPs debated the need for improved care for people with Parkinson's across the UK. But what were the important moments from the debate? What wasn't mentioned? And where do we go from here? To celebrate how far we've come and mull over our next steps, the gang gathered back at Gillian HQ (though she was regrettably laid up with a fever) where the Parky Charter was first conceived, back in the winter of 2023. Sponsored by Albion Chambers.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.Music by Alex Stobbs.

Hans and Brian break down the internet outrage over Trump's proposed 50-year mortgage—and why almost everyone is missing the point. The real issue? Homes aren't going up in value—they're going up in price. And it's not because of creative mortgage products. It's because we've been completely untethered from financial discipline, buying based on monthly payments instead of actual value. The average person moves or refinances every seven years anyway, so whether it's 15, 30, or 50 years doesn't fundamentally change the problem.Hans walks through the net present value discount formula to show why all three mortgage options are mathematically equivalent when you understand time value of money. The key isn't which mortgage term you choose—it's what you do with the cash flow difference and whether you understand human behavior well enough to avoid Parkinson's Law.Plus: why banks love principle-only payments (you're giving them 2055 dollars at full value today), the mortgage recast strategy your lender will never mention, and why the only real solution is controlling the entire banking function yourself so your kids and grandkids never have to step inside a traditional bank.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment02:28 - Comparing total interest paid: 15 vs 30 vs 50 year mortgages 04:00 - The net present value discount formula explained 06:56 - Why understanding cash flow and equity matters 10:38 - The three variables that determine mortgage mechanics 13:00 - Parkinson's Law and the "compared to what" question 17:16 - Front-loading vs back-loading mortgage payments (policy loan example) 18:33 - The mortgage recast strategy banks won't tell you about 21:39 - Why future dollars are worth less than today's dollars 29:00 - The only two times you're secure in home ownership 30:22 - Taking control of the entire banking function for your family 34:07 - People don't buy homes, they buy monthly payments 37:37 - The already-broken system that 50-year mortgages expose 40:22 - Neil McSpadden's take: this isn't about affordability, it's about liquidity 42:00 - Comparing three different mortgage strategies with whole life policies 47:48 - The seen and the unseen: what are you doing with that capital? 49:00 - Why human behavior matters more than the math 51:00 - Nelson Nash and understanding the banking function firstKey Takeaways:Homes are going up in price, not value—untethered financial behavior and "what can I afford per month" thinking has driven housing costs through the roof for decadesAll mortgage terms (15, 30, 50 year) are mathematically equivalent when you understand net present value discount formula—what matters is what you do with the cash flow differenceWhen you make principle-only payments, you're giving banks full-value 2055 dollars today without any discount—they love this because you're making them whole on payments that should be worth a fraction of their face valueThe average homeowner moves or refinances every seven years, making the actual loan term almost irrelevant—you're not paying off your house anyway, even with a 15-year mortgageMost lenders won't tell you about mortgage recasting—make a lump sum payment (usually $10k minimum), pay a small fee, and they'll recalculate your loan with a lower monthly payment while keeping the same termThe real solution isn't optimizing which mortgage to choose—it's building a family banking system so you control the entire function: the repayment schedule, the equity, and the processGot Questions?

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get Dry Cleaning Guide https://drchristiangonzalez.com/dry-cleaning-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description You might think liver damage comes from alcohol or sugar. But a new USC study reveals the real threat could be hanging in your closet. If you dry clean your clothes even once or twice a month, you're exposing yourself to Perchloroethylene (PCE)—a toxic solvent now strongly linked to liver fibrosis, brain fog, cancer, and even Parkinson's disease. This isn't just a factory worker problem. For many people, routine dry cleaning is the hidden environmental exposure driving chronic health issues no doctor can explain. PCE doesn't just disappear after cleaning. It off-gasses into your home, absorbs through your skin, and accumulates in your liver and nervous system. And the majority of dry cleaners still use it. Without asking the right questions, you have no idea what chemicals are saturating the fabrics touching your body every single day. And your liver, brain, and nervous system are paying the price. In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the USC Keck study and reveals how to protect yourself from this silent toxin: • Why dry cleaning increases your odds of liver fibrosis by 3X • The neurotoxic chemical triggering brain fog, headaches, and nervous system dysregulation • The Cancer and Parkinson's link researchers are now confirming • The exact 3 questions to ask your dry cleaner today to protect your family • The PFAS trap hiding in stain-proof and wrinkle-free fabrics (forever chemicals that never leave your body) • How PCE contaminates local groundwater and creates toxic exposure for entire communities This episode goes beyond your closet. It's a wake-up call about the pervasive, invisible toxins lurking in everyday life—and how to take action now to protect your liver, stabilize your nervous system, and reclaim your health.

Parkinson's UK have published the results of an unprecedented study that's provided a wealth of new detail into the condition in the UK today. Eighteen million patient records were analysed uncovering the key issues facing the one hundred and sixty-six thousand people with the condition in this country and highlighting up to twenty-one thousand more with no treatment or support while they wait to be diagnosed. With the help of Caroline Rassell, CEO of Parkinson's UK and Lance Lee, the charity's Analytics and Insights Lead, we examine the methodology behind the collection of a data set of this magnitude, how the millions of pieces of information are harmonised to reach accurate results. We also hear how patient privacy is protected when medical records are used for research of this kind and some of the implications of the information the survey has uncovered.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with good news on a breakthrough in Parkinson's diagnostic efforts as well as a new brain stem stimulator that can help Parkinson's patients in treating their illness — which works like a brain pace maker the way a pace maker for the heart works. More medical updates from the “good news department” FDA has approved a new treatment for Crohn's disease — an inflammatory bowel disease — that can be self-administered at home, what Robert Kennedy, Jr. is doing with his position and how banning certain foods (or, rather food-like-products) as well as carcinogenic ingredients brings a new perspective to American health standards, and how senior citizens can keep their brains healthy and minimize their risk of dementia by monitoring and maintaining health cholesterol levels. Moving on, the conversation shifts to more information on weight loss/diabetes drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic, might help lower the risk of pancreatitis in patience with diabetes and/or obesity. Additionally, these drugs also help lower cravings for sweets, which also help manage diabetic symptoms and weight management. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Jack address listener questions. For starters, the discussion addresses hearing aids and how to find the best one for you. Next question is on deodorant and the differences. Are some better for women vs men, young vs old, aluminum vs aluminum-free are all addressed. Then, the gentlemen discuss the benefits vs risks of intermittent fasting.

Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., details the benefits of xylitol in dental and respiratory health products such as nasal sprays and chewing gums under the Spry brand. Nathan advocates for the FDA to allow anti-cavity claims for xylitol and other compounds despite the current monopoly of fluoride in such claims. They question the efficacy and potential downsides of fluoride, and explore alternative dental health interventions. The episode also covers xylitol's role in preventing tooth decay, respiratory health benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing legal challenges with the FTC. Discussions highlight the potential implications of oral health on systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease and Parkinson's, and emphasize the importance of nasal hygiene alongside dental care.
What if the key to treating neurodegenerative diseases lies not in attacking symptoms, but in healing mitochondria? Dr. Matthew Phillips, a neurologist who coined the term "metabolic neurologist," shares groundbreaking insights from his decade-long journey implementing ketogenic diets and fasting protocols for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and glioblastoma patients.In this episode, Dr. Phillips reveals his clinical framework combining metabolic therapies with standard of care, his current glioblastoma trial utilizing 5-day fasting cycles with chemotherapy, and why he believes mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of neurodegeneration.Questions Answered in This Episode:What initially drew you to understanding brain metabolism and how did your journey begin?How do you implement metabolic therapies in practice and determine patient candidacy?What is the most clinically relevant mechanism of metabolic therapy?Does your trial evidence suggest metabolic interventions are adjunctive or disease-modifying treatments?Why aren't metabolic therapies more widely adopted for conditions where conventional options are limited?What power do patients have to prevent or address early cognitive decline through their own actions?Dr. Phillips challenges the medical dogma that has kept metabolic therapies on the sidelines, advocating for a merger of "germ theory" and "terrain theory" approaches that could revolutionize how we treat the most devastating neurological conditions.Sign-up to our Live Q&A Exploring Metabolic Neurology with Dr. Phillips here.Learn more about Dr. Phillips on his website.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ iRestore - Get a huge discount on the iRestore Illumina Face Mask when you use the code METABOLICLINK here.✅Piquelife.com - Get the Pu'er Bundle for 20% off here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Low-Cost, High-Impact CX Improvements The Power of Language: Transform "I can't" into "How can we" Shift from "I have to" to "We get to" Being "impeccable with your word" (inspired by The Four Agreements) Words trigger emotional responses that shape customer perception Getting CX Buy-In Across Organizations The Alignment Problem: CX initiatives fail when metrics aren't shared across departments Success came when executives adopted the same CX metrics as the CX team Without shared goals, customer insights get shelved with "we'll get to it later" The Pilot Program Strategy: Start small before asking for big budgets Show proof of concept with intentional, measurable pilots Use success to rally and align different areas of the company Real Example - CX Day Success: Introduced first-ever CX Day celebration at 145-year-old engineering company Started small despite skepticism Now an annual tradition that continues after her departure Rethinking CX Metrics Beyond Traditional Measurements: NPS and effort scores are starting points, not endpoints "Satisfaction" is no longer good enough (it's the equivalent of "fine") New focus: Emotional altitude across every touchpoint The Emotional Impact: Brains constantly cycle between thinking and feeling Emotions create lasting imprints that shape brand perception Research shows: 12 positive experiences needed to overcome 1 negative Measure emotional highs to identify gaps and successes The Four Rs of CX Impact: Revenue Retention Reputation Referrals The Future of Contact Centers Human + AI Integration: Smart companies intentionally map where humans add value vs. where AI should handle interactions The answer is "both/and" not "either/or" Critical: Validate designs with real customers, not just internal teams The Contact Center Superpower: Contact center teams speak to more customers in a week than other departments do in a year This proximity to customers gives agents unique power to be organizational change agents Voice of customer insights should inform product development, marketing messaging, and more Words Matter in the AI Era: Example: Website offering "24/7 support, our guides are happy to help you" "Guides" for both humans and AI feels impersonal Naming and framing still matters The Power of Customer Voice The 10-Minute Video Story: A contact center leader captured customer feedback about a failed new product. At an executive meeting, he played a 10-minute compilation of customer complaints. The CEO's initial advisor said it was a career-ending mistake The CEO walked out during the video Result: CEO returned and said it was "the best 10 minutes anybody's ever played" and named him employee #1 Customer voice changed the company's trajectory The Validation Imperative: Internal perspective isn't enough Customer validation must be iterative, not one-time Can't use internal team as proxy for outside voice Both internal knowledge AND customer validation matter The Fundamental C-Suite Challenge When C-suite leaders aren't aligned in their meetings, misalignment trickles down through the entire organization. This is the root problem preventing effective CX implementation. Notable Stories The Morgan & Morgan Tattoo Story: Leadership promised to get company logo tattoos if the team hit an unprecedented conversion rate goal. When they achieved it, 40 leaders got matching tattoos - four tattoo artists came in for the day. The question became: "Is your brand tattoo-worthy?" Stacey's Podcast Origin: Bought her first microphone for under $50, then waited six months before taking it out of the box due to fear. That mic ignited her journey to intentionally sharing her voice through podcasting. Living Podcasting: At the conference, Stacey pulled out her mic to record a 10-minute session where Amas (who has Parkinson's) gave direct advice to her relative with a similar condition - creating immediate, personal value rather than secondhand communication. Takeaways for Contact Center Leaders Language shapes reality - Small word changes create emotional shifts in customer experience Demand metric alignment - CX can't succeed unless executives share the same measurements Start with pilots - Prove value small-scale before requesting major investment Leverage your proximity to customers - Use it to become the organizational glue and change agent Validate everything with real customers - Internal assumptions aren't enough Map the human-AI journey intentionally - Design where each adds value, then test with customers Bring customer voice to leadership - Sometimes the most powerful thing is making them listen directly Average isn't acceptable - Move beyond satisfaction to creating emotional highs
BrainStorm wants to hear from you! Send us a text.The quest to speed up clinical trials is personal for John Dwyer, CEO of the Global Alzheimer's Platform (GAP). A long-time UsA2 advocate, he's been motivated by the generations of family members lost to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Patrick brings gratitude to the forefront, reflecting on everyday comforts like hot showers, electricity, and medicine that past generations never imagined, and urging listeners to reconnect with a spirit of thankfulness. He guides callers through raw, honest conversations about faith, suffering, prayer, and how even the smallest actions can bring hope, always tying their stories back to practical acts of love, humility, and remembering God’s mercy. In each exchange, Patrick reveals how a grateful heart transforms how he faces hardship, community, and life’s simplest joys. What are you thankful for? (00:20) Becky - I have Parkinson's disease and am meeting with a Deacon. He and a friend are doing a deliverance prayer over me. Is this ok? (09:54) Pat - Gratefulness is a magnet for miracles. Being grateful opens your heart to God. I have found this to be very meaningful. (15:08) Christine - I agree with what you are saying about gratitude. It is important to remember history and always remember it. (17:15) Pam - I wanted to thank Patrick. You talked about St. Pio. A miracle happened to me. (21:41) Carlos - I find that serving others can help you overcome this feeling of struggling to love God. When you help others, you will come to God. (27:09) Tom - Why in the Middle Ages did God allow the Church to become so corrupt? (31:29) Jacquelyn (email) – Can I bless my son with Holy Water? (38:35) Stephanie - My 3-month-old son was sick, and my husband stayed home with him and my daughter. Was it a sin of omission not to take her? Also, I feel guilty for not helping the poor more. (43:38)

As the gut microbiome emerges as a "forgotten organ" implicated in everything from cardiovascular disease to Parkinson's, the biotics landscape is exploding beyond probiotics. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our event in Rotterdam in September 2025, a panel of experts take a deep dive into the world of pre, pro and postbiotics. They reveal how plant-based meat fibres, and probiotic fermented foods are reshaping our understanding of gut health - and challenging how we communicate these complex benefits to consumers. We discover how heat-inactivated bacteria can deliver gut, immune, and even mental health benefits without the stability challenges of live probiotics, look at how plant-based meat alternatives increase beneficial fibre-degrading microbes, and tackle the communication issue: how do you explain to consumers that not all fermented foods contain probiotics, that more probiotic strains isn't necessarily better, and that throwing multi-strain supplements at a Western diet won't magically fix everything?
En el nuevo episodio de Productividad Máxima descubrirás cómo la NASA, en plena carrera a la Luna, no logró su objetivo con jornadas interminables sino con ciclos de trabajo cortos, enfoque brutal en lo esencial y descansos estratégicos. Aquí entenderás por qué la Ley de Parkinson («la tarea ocupa todo el tiempo que le dedicamos») puede convertirse en tu mejor aliada para producir más en menos tiempo, derribando el mito de que más horas siempre significan más resultados.Además, podrás aplicar mañana mismo un método de cuatro pasos: define un resultado concreto, fija un plazo real e inamovible, usa el principio 80/20 para quedarte con lo imprescindible y recurre a plantillas duplicables para no empezar de cero. A esto le sumamos microhábitos y la regla de los dos minutos para mantener el ritmo, generar inercia y lanzar versiones mínimas viables que tus clientes agradecerán. Si buscas dejar de procrastinar, desterrar el perfeccionismo y validar rápido con tu audiencia, este episodio es el impulso que estabas esperando.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com
This week, the Movers & Shakers are joined in the pub by our friends from Cure Parkinson's and Parkinson's UK. They are two of the charities working so hard to find ways of dealing with Parkinson's and improving the lives of those with the condition. But they also face huge challenges. Is enough being invested in research? Are the charities forced to compete with one another for limited resources? And what is the rule of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the huge American body that operates at a much larger scale than its UK counterparts? We're talking about all this – and more! – on today's episode.It's not too late to write to your MP ahead of next Monday's debate – you can do so here.Sponsored by Albion Chambers.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.Music by Alex Stobbs.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Hoy te revelo una estrategia de productividad basada en la ley de Parkinson: el tiempo que das a una tarea tiende a expandirse, así que fijar límites reales obliga a priorizar y a convertir incertidumbre en entregas concretas. Veremos cómo, en situaciones de alta presión como la carrera espacial, un marco de tiempo bien diseñado transforma horas de duda en resultados palpables. Te propongo un proceso práctico: define un resultado concreto en lugar de una tarea genérica, asigna un plazo corto e innegociable, usa la regla de Pareto para quedarte con el 20% que genera el 80% del impacto y duplica páginas o plantillas para no empezar desde cero.Además, te doy dos reglas operativas para sostenerlo: la versión adaptada de la regla de los dos minutos y un plan de iteraciones rápidas; integra Parkinson con la técnica Pomodoro para bloques de alta intensidad y protégelos como si fueran reuniones con clientes importantes. Aprovecha plantillas duplicables, atajos de teclado y respuestas predefinidas para reducir fricción y acelerar entregas; y aprende a decir no a lo accesorio mediante una lista de exclusión. El episodio incluye casos reales y señales simples para saber si te está funcionando. Para empezar ya, en 30 minutos elige una tarea pendiente, ponle un límite claro y usa una plantilla duplicable para completarla; así ganarás claridad y tiempo desde la primera semana.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com
Who do we need to scan? Behind the constant considerations of irradiation risk and resource usage, there is nuance to be found. Parkinson's disease - being a clinical diagnosis - doesn't suggest a need for imaging, yet one case in this issue argues that should not be an absolute rule. Another paper brings in the context of a specific patient: does one man really need 50 CT scans in his life? There's also an unboxing of uveitis, diagnosis of Alexander disease in adults, and an exploration of connections between the microbiome and neurology. This being the fifth(!) Christmas podcast for editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller, they finish with the annual crossword and book club update, featuring hot cross buns and hummingbirds.

A recent recipient of a coveted Marsden grant to research early-onset Parkinson's was diagnosed with the disease herself, age 41.
Discover Lafayette welcomes Kent Zerangue, the founder of Food With Love, “a heart centered ministry of Hospice of Acadiana” that he first began in July 2017 when he offered to cook for a former classmate whose son had been diagnosed with a brain bleed. Kent had retired in March of 2017 with plans to open a catering business, but he experienced an epiphany that overshadowed any need to make money. He shares in our interview how his parents were devout followers of Jesus Christ and consistently demonstrated love to their family, neighbors, and community through their actions in helping and praying for others. Kent's culinary journey with Hospice of Acadiana was jumpstarted by a simple meal of shrimp and okra gumbo. When he was 18, a neighbor's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. The young woman loved the delicious shrimp and okra gumbo Kent's mom would make, and he said, "Ican still see my mom walking through the thick St. Augustine grass to bring Debra her shrimp and okra gumbo, and more importantly, to be present for a family in need." Fast forward years later when Kent's dad was in hospice care and a family friend came over with "shrimp and okra gumbo. The comfort that meal delivered was indescribable. This gumbo filled my stomach, but more importantly, this meal---this simple act of bringing food---placed unspeakable joy in my heart during a most difficult time." Kent knew his retirement plans had to change. He decided to put aside notions of making a profit and begin cooking for families in need. Since then, Food with Love has grown dramatically in its outreach, mobilizing volunteers to prepare and deliver “delicious, comforting, home cooked meals to patients and their families,” providing nourishment, dignity, and what Kent describes as “a tangible that our community cares about.” Kent Zerangue assisted a longtime friend, Claire from his school days, when her 34-year old son was diagnosed with a brain bleed. He provided meals for the family while her son was in treatment in Houston. Kent shared that afterward, he began cooking for other families in need. By the end of his first year in cooking service, several other families were added to the food chain. When he saw Claire in person for the first time in 40 years she said "Kent, you are providing food with love!" Thus the name of the ministry was born. From One Family to 135 Families Kent began by cooking for one family, and within months, support and demand grew: “Over the first nine months or six months, we ended up with ten families.” His early recipients included “ALS patients… terminally ill, long term Parkinson's.” “None of them were in hospice care. They just knew that I was cooking.” By February 2018, Kent approached Hospice of Acadiana to officially offer meals:“I kind of got my sea legs under me a little bit. And then they started giving me families.” By the end of 2018, he served about 60 families. Today, Food With Love serves about 135 families, preparing approximately 800 meals a week. The simple, profound message is "Jesus loves you. Jesus has always loved you. Jesus will never abandon you." The Move From His Backyard to a Commercial Kitchen For over 7 years, Kent cooked from his backyard commercial kitchen. Volunteers arrived naturally—“I had this lady call me one day…‘I've been watching you for about a year… Can I come volunteer?' I didn't even know I needed a volunteer.” Eventually he approached then-CEO Kacee Thompson of Hospice of Acadiana: “Do we want food with love to be something that continues for the long term? Her response was, “Absolutely.” She later called him saying, “Are you ready to start fundraising?” A space had become available on the side of Hospice of Acadiana, on the corner of Johnston and Christopher Street. Kent shared: “In less than 11 weeks, we had raised $1 million.” The kitchen is now fully paid for, USDA-approved, and equipped with the finest of equipment.

Who doesn't like magic tricks? I love watching magicians trying to surprise the audience with their slight of hand tricks. Always fascinates me and asking how do they do that. What does this have to do with the Parkinson's Experience? Well, my guest today turned to learning magic after he was diagnosed with PD and could no longer work as a nurse. Although his main symptom is bradykinesia or slowness of movement, he is able to perform magic with a little help from getting Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. He performs and has recruited a community of magicians to join him is raising awareness of Parkinson's and fundraise for PD research. His organization is called Slow Motion Magic, and his book and fundraiser is called Conjuring for a Cure. This is an inspirational, positive story you don't want to miss.

This week is presented by "Dial It Back", available now on Prime Video. --Brian is back for another Hallmark Christmas movie. Today, we dive into a family-sized holiday adventure with A Keller Christmas Vacation. ABOUT A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATIONThree reluctant adult siblings join their parents on a Christmas river cruise through Europe. What was meant to be a scenic holiday turns into a journey of reconnection, self-discovery, and unexpected joy when the family learns that the trip had deeper reasons than just sightseeing.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATIONNovember 9 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATIONJonathan Bennett as DylanBrandon Routh as CalEden Sher as EmoryDirected by Maclain NelsonBRAN'S A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with photos of the Keller family. They're all about to take a Christmas cruise aboard the Dunebae.We've got:Cal, the oldest son — recently divorced and trying to invite a new love interest on the trip… but she's already with someone else. Womp womp.Dylan, the middle son, who is deeply in love with his boyfriend William — who is joining the cruise. Right before they leave, Dylan proposes. William freezes, says it's not the right time. Dylan says, “Okay, well… clearly something's going on. So maybe we need some space. Like… Atlantic Ocean–sized space.” Not a breakup — just space.Emory, the youngest — aspiring photographer, newly jobless, single, and hoping someone out there will make her feel seen.The family arrives on December 19th, ready to check in.At check-in, a very charming crew member named Noah helps Emory to her room. Sparks. Are. Spark-ing.Cal discovers his room neighbors are a sweet grandfather and his granddaughter Felicity. Grandpa is very interested in pairing them up. Felicity is not amused.The family competes in a gingerbread house contest — and it's a full disaster. But onward! They head to their first Christmas market, needing to get back by 7 PM. Everyone can tell something is up with Dylan.They have such a great time that… they miss the boat. Literally.Now stranded, they end up staying at a tiny off–the–grid German hotel owned by a very intense German woman. Emory suspects their parents planned this trip for reasons. The siblings open up to each other a bit.The next morning, they pile onto a three-person motorcycle (it is exactly as chaotic as it sounds) to chase the boat, which is now leaving earlier than planned. They make it just in time — and William is waiting on the dock.Back on board, Dylan asks William again if he's ready to talk. William still can't. Dylan decides to bunk with Emory for now.Meanwhile, Cal heads to the hot chocolate bar… and of course Felicity is there.Noah asks Emory if she'd be willing to take photos for the ship's marketing. She's thrilled. They shake on it — and that handshake definitely lingers.Dylan eventually tells his siblings what's going on. He's afraid William doesn't love him anymore. They remind him: William flew halfway around the world to be here. Emory shares that she was laid off by email. Everyone finally gets vulnerable.Next port!Dylan and William take a walking tour and have some very sweet, flirty moments. William says, “If I could tell you what's going on, I would. I promise.”Emory takes photos of her parents for Noah's campaign. They encourage her to follow her heart — wherever that leads.Cal and Felicity wander their market stop together and the chemistry is real.Then comes the ship-wide White Elephant party. Fun — until Dad nearly falls. Time for The Family Talk.Dad shares that he has Parkinson's Disease, stage 1 — early and mild, but life will change. They'll need to sell the house. And they reveal that William already knew because he's a neurosurgeon who has treated Parkinson's patients.Dylan goes to William — and they finally talk honestly.

"No fiction author would have had the temerity to invent a disorder of such incredible clinical diversity and puzzling behavior."In the winter of 1916-1917, as World War I raged, physicians in Europe began noticing bizarre cases of brain illness. Thousands arrived at hospitals with high fevers, headaches, confusion, and a host of other factors - suspected at first to be meningitis or even poisoning - yet none of the explanations fit. What all of these patients shared was either an overwhelming drowsiness or psychotic agitation.By late 1918, as the great influenza pandemic struck, this new "sleeping sickness" had spread across Europe and Beyond. Earlier that year, outbreaks were noted in England and the first American case was reported in September. By 1919, enough cases had surfaced worldwide that health officials realized they faced an epidemic of a baffling new illness...Research & writing by Micheal Whelan and Amelia WhiteHosting & production by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I'm joined by Martha Carlin, a woman who turned heartbreak into groundbreaking innovation. When her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson's, Martha refused to accept the standard “there's nothing you can do.” Instead, she built a team of microbiologists, chemists, and researchers and founded The BioCollective, one of the first large-scale stool banks for Parkinson's research.In this conversation, Martha shares what she discovered about the gut-brain connection, from the role of calcium and endotoxins to the emotional trauma that so often precedes disease. We talk about the origins of BiotiQuest, the company born from her desire to create living microbial systems that restore balance to the gut. Her formulations—like Sugar Shift, Perfect Peace, and the Total Gut Reset—don't just add bacteria; they build microbial teams that communicate, heal, and support human resilience.Martha also opens up about losing her husband in 2024 and what she's learned about the lasting impact of environmental toxins, cleaning products, and emotional repression on our biology. It's a conversation that redefines what healing means—and reminds us that science, love, and purpose can coexist beautifully.
