"You might think, 'On the other side of this, if I'm not even guaranteed better performance, Why would I do it?' That comes down to our values," shares Lane 9 co-founder, and dietitian, Heather Caplan. This Q&A episode tackles two questions: Is it possible to be 'healthy' even with extremely irregular periods or absent periods, if everything else is going well? Will I recover from REDs and get faster? What if I get slower, or get injured? Have your own question to submit to Lane 9 for a future episode or resource? We'd love to hear them!

Welcome back to the Ties That Bind.This season, we are looking at NATO from a bit of a different vantage point, specifically that of the frontline states. How are frontline states investing in and planning for their defense? How are they thinking about their role and contributions in the Alliance and on the world stage? How have their historical experiences shaped how their governments and societies think about defense, countering disinformation, and changing economic realities? And how are they preparing for a potential conflict with Russia? This week, we are looking at Poland, a country that has completely transformed its military and defense capacity over the last two decades. Periods of transition are not always painless, and we'll hear what challenges Poland has faced and what opportunities lie ahead as it looks to become a leading voice within the alliance and on the world stage.Featured guests: * Anna Fotyga, former Polish Foreign Minister, 2006-2007* Tomasz Szatkowski, former Deputy Defense Minister, 2015-2019, and Ambassador to NATO, 2019-2024* Jakub Romaniuk, Programme Director, Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies Get full access to FPRI Insights at fpriinsights.substack.com/subscribe

Is anyone else feeling frenetic energy recently?Like many of you, it's been an incredibly chaotic period with work and life recently.So this week I've taken to the pod for a solo episode, to fill you in on what I do to keep me sane during busy periods including:

We're not broken—we're just overwhelmed. Kylie Larson and I explore how to quiet the noise, feel safe in your body, and start leading with acceptance instead of control. In this episode, Kylie Larson and I unpack the difference between what you think you need and what you actually need when it comes to health, wellness, and feeling like yourself again. We talk about the endless noise out there—how easy it is to chase the next fix—and why the real work often looks less like control and more like compassion. We also dig into what it means to feel safe in your body, how lifestyle choices play a bigger role than most people realize, and why acceptance isn't giving up—it's where real change begins. Our conversation was inspired by what we are seeing in ourselves, with clients and the collective as a whole.

Send us a textPeriods aren't supposed to be a cliffhanger, yet perimenopause can make every cycle a plot twist. We open up about why your bleed might get heavier, lighter, closer together, or vanish and then crash back in—and how the real culprits are shifting oestrogen and a drop in progesterone. If your mood swings feel louder, cramps hit harder, or leaks have you second-guessing your outfit, there's a science-backed reason and practical ways to get back your confidence.We break down the grower-and-mower dynamic: oestrogen thickens the uterine lining while progesterone steadies nerves and helps shed it. When oestrogen spikes and progesterone lags, you can see PMS, headaches, breast tenderness, and painful, heavy periods. When balance flips, a sudden “clear-out” can follow. That hormonal seesaw explains the irregular timelines and intensity that so many of us face. Alongside the physiology, we share what actually helps: longer, ultra-absorbent pads with front and back wings to prevent back leaks, non-applicator tampons for gentler placement when dryness hits, and discreet liners for those in-between days. We also talk sensitivities—why fragrance-free, dye-free, chlorine-free products are kinder to vulval skin when oestrogen dips.Heavy bleeding brings real fatigue and can drain iron, especially if vitamin D and magnesium are already low. We offer simple, sustainable habits: track cycles with notes on flow, pain, mood, and symptoms; look for patterns you can bring to your GP; and build a small, reliable kit so you're prepared for surprises. We highlight resources and community support from brands backing menopause and endometriosis causes, because none of this should feel lonely or shame-filled. The goal isn't a perfect period—it's steady confidence, even when your cycle is anything but.If this conversation helps you, share it with a friend who needs it.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we explore how real estate agents and teams can turn longer listing periods into powerful lead generation opportunities by running open houses the right way. Brian Icenhower explains why every listing should have at least two open houses—ideally in the first two weeks of hitting the market—and how top teams leverage this system not just to sell homes, but to generate more listings, build their database, and establish a reputation for hustle and professionalism. You'll learn: ✅ Why open houses are most effective during the “Miracle Month” (first 30 days on market) ✅ How to set team-wide standards (2 open houses per listing) and track them with dashboards ✅ Why proactive admin support is critical to maximizing open house coverage ✅ Conversion strategies that turn open house visitors into listing eAlert subscribers ✅ How to use open houses to attract sellers, not just buyers ✅ Scripts, systems, and client service approaches that separate top producers from casual agents Brian also shares how open houses fuel lead generation, team accountability, and market dominance, especially in spring and summer when traffic is high. With the right systems in place, every listing becomes a magnet for more opportunities.

What if your period is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we dive into the underappreciated dialogue between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, and menstruation—and uncover what your cycle might be signaling.From heavy or unpredictable bleedings to the months when your period vanishes altogether, thyroid dysfunction can cast a long shadow across your reproductive health. We explore how:Low thyroid levels can lead to irregular or heavy periods, or even amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation)Hashimoto's flare-ups may spike around certain phases of your menstrual cycle, intensifying fatigue, mood shifts, and symptom burden The immune system, hormones, and inflammation conspire to shift your cycle in ways you might not expectPremature ovarian insufficiency and perimenopause signals may intersect with Hashimoto's, influencing fertility and hormonal balanceThere is hope and strategy: how targeted thyroid care, cycle tracking, and lifestyle interventions can help steady the tidesIf your menstrual rhythm feels off—or if thyroid treatment hasn't given you the harmony you expected—this is the conversation you don't want to miss.

I am delighted to connect with a physician friend and colleague, Dr. Heather Hirsch, today. Dr. Hirsch is an entrepreneur and a board-certified internist by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is also the Founder and CEO of Health by Heather Hirsch, and has a telemedicine practice offering best-in-class individualized care for perimenopause and menopause. In our discussion, we explore heavy menstrual cycles and the benefits of journaling and shared decision-making. We discuss common and frustrating causes of weight loss resistance in middle age, the power of strength training and adequate protein intake, and estrogen as a metabolic regulator that is intricately linked to many physical systems, including digestion. We also examine how educating clinicians on shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause could prevent countless ER visits, and we tackle concerns surrounding contraception and pregnancy prevention in perimenopause, a biopsychosocial approach to low libido, and the often-overlooked silent symptoms Dr. Hirsch often sees in perimenopause and beyond. Today's conversation with Dr. Hirsch is truly invaluable. I highly recommend her Perimenopause Survival Guide, written by an internal medicine doctor extremely well-versed in perimenopause and menopause. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormonal fluctuations disrupt the body and create confusion in perimenopause The benefits of journaling  How hormonal and lifestyle shifts disrupt metabolism, weight, and insulin sensitivity during perimenopause Why body composition changes matter more than your weight How declining estrogen affects insulin resistance, metabolism, and diabetes risk The value of shared decision-making  How hormones, medications, sleep, relationships, and past trauma can cause changes in libido  How siloed healthcare often leaves perimenopause symptoms misunderstood  How irregular ovulation increases pregnancy risk and why hormone therapy is not a contraceptive Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Heather Hirsch On her website YouTube  Social media: @Heather Hirsch MD

"[T]he waiting period is just an artificial delay on possession" (p. 20), "a standardless, temporary disarmament measure" (p.21) according to the Republican federal appeals court judges on the 10th Circuit, appointed by Trump and Bush. This is part 2 of a multi-part series following the injunctive relief individuals got on 19 August 2025, when the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Democrat Legislature in New Mexico on the 7-day "cooling off period" wait for firearms. And the 3 judge panel split along Republican/Democrat lines , 2 to 1, with both George W. Bush and Trump Republicans on the same side of the Constitution against an Obama judge. Here's a link to the decision. For some reason, the text I was reading on the podcast didn't display properly on the recording, but you can follow along here. https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/files/opinions/010111284574.pdf We begin that story in a mulit-part part series here on The Republican Professor podcast.

Summary Are your symptoms really coming from a “broken body”—or are they actually a brain habit? In this episode, Ali breaks down the science of neuroplastic symptoms (sometimes called TMS or mind-body symptoms) and explains why real, physical sensations like pain, fatigue, gut issues, and dizziness can persist even without structural damage. You'll learn how the brain's danger pathways work, why symptoms become a habit, and how fear and avoidance keep the cycle alive. Drawing on Alan Gordon's “false alarm” framework, Ali shares simple, practical ways to rewire your brain's response—so symptoms lose their power and your nervous system learns safety again. If you've been stuck in the endless cycle of symptoms, worry, and searching for answers, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a roadmap for healing.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms are real—but they're created by the brain's danger pathways, not by structural damage. Fear and attention fuel the cycle: every time you monitor or worry, the brain reinforces the symptom as “important.” Symptoms become a habit loop—just like a song stuck in your head, the brain gets good at producing them through repetition. Alan Gordon's false alarm analogy helps explain why symptoms are real but not dangerous—the alarm is sounding, but there's no fire. Healing is possible: by reducing fear, processing emotions, and re-engaging in life, you can rewire your brain and teach it safety.   Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

Today on the podcast, we discuss resting between sets — why it's important and actually a critical piece of any strength training program.

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes. Sound bites "Anxiety is not a character flaw." "Label it as a false alarm." "Self-compassion is key."

Can your menstrual cycle really change how you train, recover, and build strength - or is that just fitness hype? In this clip, we dive deep into the latest research on exercise and the menstrual cycle. While some studies suggest a small dip in performance during your period and more strength potential around ovulation, the evidence is mixed and often misunderstood. The real takeaway? Every woman's body responds differently. This conversation explores how athletes and everyday women can use cycle awareness as a guide - not a strict rulebook - when it comes to training, recovery, and performance. Whether you're running marathons, lifting weights, or fitting workouts around work and family, this discussion will help you understand what's fact, what's myth, and how to tune into your own body.Hazel WallaceListen to the full episode⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠***This episode is sponsored by Spatone – the No.1 iron-rich water supplement.This is a product I genuinely believe in — one I've used personally and recommended in the clinic for years.

"I've found that athletes vastly underestimate their [energy] needs," shares Heather Caplan RDN, co-founder of Lane 9, in this Q&A-style episode.  Listen for this one if you're wondering... How often is it okay to have sweet things/desserts? Is it possible to have REDs without weight loss/changes? Why am I not getting my period back, even though I'm eating a lot more? This one tackles flexibility with food, decades of carb-fearing and how it probably still impacts what most people eat on a daily basis...even in sports, weight stigma in athletics and the variety of REDs symptoms, and what "a lot" might actually mean, when it comes to eating for energy availability.  Have your own question to submit to Lane 9 for a future episode or resource?

You've been taught to think of your period as just that - a period. A monthly inconvenience to be managed with tampons and painkillers.But what if your menstrual cycle is actually a vital sign? A powerful, daily indicator of your brain, gut, and metabolic health that you've been taught to ignore?This week's guest, Dr. Hazel Wallace - medical doctor, nutritionist, and author of Not Just a Period is here to dismantle the myths that keep women in the dark about their own bodies. Drawing from her own frustrating journey to a PCOS diagnosis, she reveals why so much of what we're told about our hormones is wrong, and how understanding your cycle is the key to unlocking better health, energy, and performance.Together we explore:- Why your cycle is so much more than just fertility- The hidden ways hormones impact your mood, sleep, cravings, and even your gut- Why dismissive advice like “lose weight” or “cut carbs” is failing millions of women- The truth about training and your cycle: when to push, when to rest, and how to listen to your body- Amenorrhea: the real reasons you might lose your period (it's not just stress)- How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that too often dismisses women's pain- Practical, evidence-based tools to support your hormones with nutrition and lifestyleThis isn't just a conversation about periods. It's a roadmap to hormonal literacy and self-advocacy. If you've ever felt confused, dismissed, or powerless over your own body, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to finally take back control.Love,Sarah Ann

It is well-known that PMS symptoms can deeply affect how women are feeling, including their mood, pain, and energy levels. But why exactly does this happen? Today, we’re going to dive into the science of sex hormones and the menstrual cycle, including how hormone levels affect women’s sexual motivation and tips for navigating sex at different phases of the cycle. I am joined by Dr. Sarah Hill, the author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control. She has spent most of her 20+ year career studying women, relationships, and health. Her latest book is titled The Period Brain: The New Science of Why We PMS and How To Fix It. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What’s the deal with PMS? Why did women evolve to feel like crap for half of the menstrual cycle? How do the rise and fall of different hormones during the cycle affect women’s brains? Progesterone is a hormone that’s supposed to make us feel good. So why doesn’t it have that effect during the second half of the menstrual cycle? How do estrogen and progesterone affect sexual motivation and desire? You can check our Sarah’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the pervasive impact of trauma and overstimulation on our nervous systems, particularly in the context of constant exposure to fear-inducing content through social media and news. She explores how our brains are wired to respond to threats and the resulting physical and mental health issues that can arise. Ali offers practical solutions for regulating our nervous systems, emphasizes the importance of living a values-based life, and encourages listeners to find balance amidst chaos. Takeaways Trauma affects us all, often without our awareness. Our nervous systems are not designed for constant fear. Social media and news can create a jaded view of the world. Fear can lead to chronic health issues and mental health struggles. Setting boundaries around content consumption is crucial. Curating your social media feed can protect your peace. Living a values-based life enhances overall well-being. Small changes can lead to significant improvements in life balance. Self-awareness is key to managing anxiety and fear. It's important to seek help when feeling overwhelmed.  Titles Navigating Trauma in a Digital Age Understanding Our Nervous System's Response to Fear Sound bites "Fear activates the nervous system."

In today's episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we tackle one of the most pressing issues in today's shifting real estate market: longer listing periods. As inventory grows and some areas edge into buyer's market territory, listings are sitting on the market longer than many agents—or their sellers—are used to. Brian Icenhower breaks down the two critical factors every agent must understand: Price or Patience. He explains how agents can set the right expectations with sellers upfront, proactively prove property exposure through weekly reporting, and avoid the reactive “Why isn't my home selling?” conversations that frustrate clients and drain your energy. You'll learn: ✅ Why agents don't “sell” homes—they expose them ✅ How to use online views (MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com) to demonstrate marketing exposure ✅ The “Miracle Month” concept and how to explain it in your listing presentations ✅ When it's a pricing problem vs. when it's a patience problem ✅ How admin and listing managers prevent service issues before they start Whether you're a solo agent, team leader, or broker-owner, this episode will help you shift your mindset and systems to thrive in markets with extended listing periods.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the significant changes in women's health, particularly during menopause, over the past few decades. She discusses the impact of lifestyle, food environment, movement, technology, and stress management on women's health outcomes. Ali emphasizes the need to return to basic health practices that were prevalent in the past, highlighting the importance of whole foods, regular movement, and effective stress management. The conversation serves as a call to action for listeners to reassess their health habits and make meaningful changes. Takeaways Women today experience different health realities than in the past. The food environment has drastically changed, impacting health. Processed foods are more prevalent and chemically laden now. Daily movement has decreased significantly over the years. Stress management is crucial for overall health. Technology has disrupted sleep patterns and quality. Returning to basics can improve health outcomes. Hormones have not changed, but our lifestyle has. Social connections and community support are vital for well-being. Small changes in daily habits can lead to significant health improvements.
