(2:00) The six best keto-friendly oils? (6:00) Olive oil, avocado oil, tallow, ghee, real lard, butter, coconut oil, and macadamia nut oil. Macadamia nut oil is expensive. Read the ingredients on your labels: even lard and tallow can be cut with seed oils. (15:00) Chris shares a list of fitness tests that can help assess the aging process. (16:30) If you want to see them, you can watch the episode on YouTube.   What about the focus on “mirror muscles”? (35:00) This refers to things like triceps and biceps curls. Performing compound movements is typically sufficient to gain strength and remain functionally fit. Various zones are good to focus on while working out. (38:00) Power Zone: Glutes, hamstrings, or “posterior chain.” Dead lifts need to be worked up to; it's not a beginner exercise. (39:00) Hip thrusts are good, especially with a hip thrust machine or with a Smith machine. Lunges are great, too, of course. Posture Zone: upper/middle back exercises Stability Zone: Pallof press or “Indian club” (which is a weighted bat or club) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Tony Award–winner Ariel Stachel sits down for a candid and deeply personal conversation about his new Off-Broadway solo show Other. More than just a performance piece, the show is a marathon of vulnerability — exploring identity, anxiety, and the pressure to belong — and Ariel shares how it feels to put his entire self on stage for 90 minutes without a break. We talk about why he treats performing like athletic training, why therapy has become a non-negotiable part of his process, and how he went from hiding his background and struggles to embracing them as the very heart of his art. His honesty about anxiety, identity, and purpose reveals a side of Broadway life we don't often get to see. Ariel Stachel is a Tony and Grammy Award–winning actor, singer, and writer. He won the 2018 Tony Award for his Broadway debut as Haled in The Band's Visit. His screen work includes Zola, Don't Worry Darling, and The Night Agent. With Other, he steps into the role of both writer and performer, bringing his story of identity and belonging to the Greenwich House Theater Off-Broadway.

This is despite human rights abuses in the country.Writer: Rachael HealyProducer: Ada BarumeHost: Casey MagloireEpisode photography: Joe MeeExecutive Producer: Rebecca Moore Hosted on Acast.

Chief Innovation Officer Lisa Wong rejoins the podcast to talk about TCA's first-ever Discover Week, which will take place February 23-27, 2026. Some Middle School and Upper School students will be taking part in Discover Week travel experiences, which they already registered for last spring. Most MS and US students will get to take special Discover Week classes that cover a wide variety of interests. Fifth-graders will have their own fifth-grade Discover Week experience, while students in grades 6-8 will choose from one of five themes for the week: Fitness and Health, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Creation and Craftsmanship, Performing and Literary Arts, or Food and Culture. Upper School students will have 36 Discover Week classes to choose from, where they can learn new subjects, life skills or hobbies. Most of these are half-day classes, so US students will get to take two classes that week. Juniors and seniors have the option to sign up for a Discover Week internship in fields of their choice; they will be paired with local businesses to gain hands-on experience and insights while being mentored by TCA parents or alumni.   TCA parents can download a full list of classes on the Discover Week resource board. Students will sign up for classes themselves during school the week of October 13-17, 2025. If you have any questions, you can email discoverweek@trinitychristian.org.

In today's episode, Cara and I begin by asking: How does the body teach us to listen when sensation overwhelms, when it surprises, when it transforms?Through our conversation Cara shares how past struggles with sensory stimulation and neurodivergence became doorways into practices of embodiment. By attending to sensation in all its intensities, she has learned to inhabit states of power—moving through a variety of selves, performing with and through the body's shifting voices.We explore how listening deeply to the body turns discipline and devotion into art, how sensitivity becomes a site of strength, and how embodiment itself opens pathways into metamorphosis.This episode is a call to action for those navigating the thresholds of sensation, seeking to travel lightly yet powerfully with the many selves the body carries.--------------------Cara is a holy rascal, ecstatic seer, and body nerd who performs many different selves; calling herself an artist, filmmaker, actor and occultist who shares their strength practice, film & storytelling, myth & magick, & their ongoing spiritual art quest on the frontier of personal development with those willing to walk beside them. --------------------This episode features sonic objects collected by Cara, as well as a poem she has written and performed titled Manifesto.All other sounds and modulations produced by V--------------------Support Cara --> linktr.ee/caraclaymoreSupport V --> https://saturnvox.comSupport the Show --> https://ko-fi.com/saturnvox156

Dana In The Morning Highlights 9/29Bad Bunny has been announced as the performer for the halftime show at the Big Game in 2026Houston Pumpkin Festival is currently going on at Discovery Green80% of us say we are nostalgic for trick-or-treating

The NFL announced Sunday night that...Bad Bunny would be performing the halftime show at the Superbowl. The NFL initially wanted Taylor Swift to perform...but once Taylor Swift declined the NFL decided to select Bad Bunny. The selection of Bad Bunny led to instant outrage...as Americans felt betrayed by the decision. We discuss the NFL selecting Bad Bunny to perform at the Superbowl. We discuss Bad Bunny refusal to perform in America...and the anti-ICE stance that Bad Bunny has spread. We also explain why the NFL selected Bad Bunny...and why it's a mistake for the NFL to continue to globalize the league.

Meet Laur Elle — a rising indie-pop voice blending airy vocals, vivid storytelling, and lush soundscapes that invite listeners into a world of pure escapism.Born in Oklahoma and raised in Alberta, Canada, Laur Elle grew up balancing two worlds: the discipline of sport and the magic of words. As the daughter of a hockey coach and a former internationally competitive gymnast for Team Canada, she carried the focus of an athlete into her artistry. But it was poetry — and eventually music — where she unlocked her true voice.What began with poems turned into songs, what started as open mics became a passion, and soon Laur Elle found herself in studios co-writing and shaping a sound that bridges the intimacy of a singer-songwriter with the bold energy of pop. Drawing inspiration from storytellers like Taylor Swift, the playful edge of The 1975, and the raw honesty of artists like Halsey and Dominic Fike, she's carved out a sound that feels both nostalgic and new — dreamy yet grounded, escapist yet real.For Laur Elle, music is more than melody — it's medicine. With pen in hand and guitar close by, she channels her own emotions into songs designed to help others release theirs. Her tracks, described as “music for running (or driving) away from problems,” are made to soundtrack the moments when you need to breathe, feel, and just be.Still in her early 20s, Laur Elle is quickly establishing herself as an artist to watch. And while her journey started with words, it's her music — heartfelt, vulnerable, and vividly alive — that's proving she's found her calling.In this engaging conversation, Laur Elle shares her transformative journey from being a competitive gymnast in Canada to pursuing a career in music in Los Angeles.  She reflects on the challenges of identity, the creative process of songwriting, and the importance of vulnerability in her art.  Laur Elle discusses her inspirations, the evolution of her music, and the lessons learned along the way, emphasizing the significance of trusting one's intuition and embracing the messiness of the creative journey.  The conversation highlights the power of connection and the impact of sharing one's story with others, especially for women in the creative industry.Chapters00:00 From Gymnastics to Music: A Journey of Transformation03:04 Exploring Identity and Artistic Expression05:46 The Creative Process: Writing Songs and Finding Inspiration09:01 Navigating Vulnerability and Connection in Music11:59 Influences and Inspirations: Shaping the Artist's Sound14:54 The Evolution of Music: New Projects and Self-Discovery17:51 Overcoming Doubts: The Reality of Being an Artist21:04 Legacy and Impact: Inspiring Future Generations24:03 Trusting Your Intuition: Advice for Creatives26:52 Embracing the Messiness of the Creative Journey30:02 Memorable Moments: The Power of Connection32:58 Lessons Learned: Advice from the Journey35:57 The Importance of Vulnerability in Art38:54 Final Thoughts: Trusting Yourself and Your VoiceConnect with Laur Elle: Website: https://laurellemusic.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5DQPhXyByXuh4DxLjHm7UH?si=oHE1SzouSFSz63Dx7H0XSw&nd=1Apple Music: Connect with The Women On Top: Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Comedy Saved Me Podcast - Episode Show Notes Guest: Thom Tran Episode Description In this powerful episode of Comedy Saved Me, host Lynn Hoffman sits down with multi-talented veteran, comedian, musician, and activist Thom Tran for an inspiring conversation about resilience, healing, and finding purpose through laughter. Thom’s journey from combat soldier to comedy stage is nothing short of remarkable. After enlisting in the U.S. Army at just 18 years old, Thom served as a Communications and Civil Affairs Sergeant within the Army’s Special Operations Community. His military career came to an abrupt end in 2003 when a sniper’s bullet struck the back of his skull during combat operations in Iraq, just four days after crossing the border. Despite his injuries, Thom bandaged himself up and completed his 12-month tour—a testament to his incredible strength and dedication. Following his medical retirement in 2005, Thom discovered that comedy didn’t just change his life—it saved it. He channeled his experiences into stand-up comedy, eventually creating The GIs of Comedy Tour in 2010, a groundbreaking comedic troupe that has performed across the United States and in nearly two dozen countries, bringing healing laughter to military and civilian audiences alike. Lynn and Thom dive deep into how humor became his lifeline, the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life, and his mission to help other veterans through the transformative power of comedy.

It is a privilege to welcome alt-pop recording artist and producer ROHAN to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  ROHAN was an Australian kid with big dreams. Indian parents raised him in Australia and Singapore. He was introduced to music through Australian Idol and Green Day's American Idiot, which led him to explore computers and front bands in Melbourne and Singapore.  After high school, he moved to California and attended Stanford to continue exploring his love for technology and music. Now, out of his own studio in San Francisco and pulling inspiration from Australian recording artists such as Skeggs, 90s R&B and hip-hop such as Ms. Lauryn Hill, and contemporary pop artists like Dominic Fike, he's ready to officially introduce himself with his own blend of Australian indie rock with R&B, electronic, and folk musical influences that form his self-produced confessional alt-pop anthems.  Earlier in 2025, ROHAN opened for Chappell Roan's favorite pop artist, Devon Again, at her sold-out show in San Francisco. He also opened for Contradash, Frex, and Marco Luka.  In October, he will be supporting Will Paquin when he visits the city.  On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, ROHAN spoke about performing alongside Green Day, overcoming challenges while staying in the music industry, and shared the stories behind some of his most-streamed Spotify songs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.
