Baby Gut Health Expert: What every parent should know about gut health, immunity & nutrition (with Dr. Stephanie Culler)

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Stephanie Culler — a microbiome scientist and baby gut health expert — to talk about one of the most important (and overlooked (like seriously we had no clue!!!)) parts of raising healthy kids: the gut. Dr. Culler breaks down what gut health actually is, why so many babies are born missing critical microbes, and what that means for things like chronic illness, food allergies, eczema, and even obesity later in life. Dr. Culler shares what parents can do in the first 1,000 days (from pregnancy through toddlerhood) to set their child up for lifelong health, from everyday food choices to the role of antibiotics, and how her groundbreaking study revealed that most babies around the world lack the microbes they need. We also get into practical solutions — like how parents can help restore those microbes through Persephone's new infant & toddler synbiotic (or any pre/probiotic!!!) — plus the foods to focus on (and avoid), and why gut health should be part of every child's standard care. If you're curious about how to give your baby the healthiest start possible, this one's packed with insights you won't want to miss. LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast!  00:02:07 Meet Dr. Stephanie Culler (Microbiome Scientist) 00:03:05 What is gut health—and why it matters for families  00:06:30 The current state of kids' health in the U.S.— chronic illness, food allergies, eczema & obesity  00:10:50 The #1 thing parents can do to help kids live healthier lives  00:13:58 My Baby Biome study reveals a shocking global trend: most babies lack key gut microbes for lifelong health  00:19:34 How do we get babies this bacteria back?

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. This week's episode covers one of the most loaded slates of the year as the summer calendar reaches a boiling point. We begin with a full preview of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where the world's biggest promotions collide once again on one of wrestling's most anticipated stages. Headlining the card, AEW World Champion Hangman Page defends against MJF in a long-awaited rematch, while AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada puts his title on the line against Swerve Strickland. The show also features the reunion of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage as they team for the first time in over 14 years, Toni Storm defending the AEW Women's World Championship against Athena, and Zack Sabre Jr. meeting Nigel McGuinness for the IWGP World Championship. Kyle Fletcher defends the TNT title against Hiromu Takahashi, Mercedes Moné faces Persephone, Alex Windsor, and a Stardom representative in a TBS Championship Four-Way, and a stacked lights-out steel cage match pits Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in his London farewell against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks. From there, we turn to WWE's future with NXT Heatwave. Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship against either Trick Williams or Je'Von Evans, while Hank Walker and Tank Ledger put the NXT Tag Team titles on the line against DarkState. Jacy Jayne defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship in a triple threat against Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, and Jordynne Grace collides with Blake Monroe. A number one contender's match for the NXT Women's Championship will also take place featuring Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice. Over in TNA, Emergence 2025 delivered a card full of major results. Trick Williams retained the World Championship against Moose in a match that had the Baltimore crowd split but firmly cemented Williams as TNA's top babyface. The Hardys retained the World Tag Team titles against The Rascalz in one of the night's highlights, Leon Slater held onto the X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander, and Mike Santana defeated Sami Callihan in a Baltimore Street Fight that may have marked Callihan's farewell. While technical issues marred the preshow, the main event and key title bouts gave TNA momentum heading into Bound for Glory. In Mexico, Triplemanía marked the official beginning of WWE and AAA's working relationship. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Nick Khan stood alongside AAA leadership to emphasize collaboration. On the card, Omos won the Copa Bardahl, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. claimed the Latin American title, and Psycho Clown and Pagano captured the AAA Tag Team Championship. Judgment Day scored a win in trios action, Flammer retained the Reina de Reinas Championship, and in the main event, El Hijo del Vikingo retained the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way over Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano, with AJ Styles making a shocking run-in to help seal the finish. The event had the production, presentation, and pacing of a WWE show, sparking debate about AAA's evolving identity under this partnership. On the business side, TKO announced that UFC will end its traditional pay-per-view model beginning in January 2026 under a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal with Paramount Plus and CBS. WWE also secured a five-year, $1.6 billion agreement with ESPN, moving Premium Live Events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to ESPN's new streaming service. At the same time, reports revealed WWE holds an option to purchase TNA and a right of first refusal should the company seek another buyer, further linking the two promotions' futures. Finally, NJPW's G1 Climax 35 has reached its conclusion. Konosuke Takeshita defeated EVIL in the final at Ariake Arena, fighting through an injured knee and overcoming House of Torture interference to secure his first G1 victory. Along the way, Takeshita shocked Zack Sabre Jr. in the semifinals, setting the stage for their Wrestle Kingdom clash, where he will challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. With this win, Takeshita declared himself “The Alpha,” signaling his rise as NJPW's new international ace.

What if Persephone's abduction wasn't just a tragedy, but the beginning of her empowerment? Storyteller and dream witch Libby Rose Waite weaves a spellbinding retelling of the Persephone myth that challenges everything we thought we knew about this ancient tale. Rather than focusing solely on Demeter's grief, we witness Persephone's transformation from a silenced princess to the powerful Queen of the Underworld.The story begins with Persephone trapped between her mother's suffocating love and Olympian expectations, unable to express her creative gifts. When Apollo plays his lyre, she's told not to share her music. When the Muses recite poetry, she's instructed to keep her verses hidden. This painful fifth house experience—being told your creativity isn't worthy—resonates deeply with our modern struggles.As we descend with Persephone into Hades' realm, something unexpected unfolds. Rather than remaining a victim, she begins to transform the underworld itself—decorating with flowers from Asphodel's fields, arranging stones from Sisyphus's boulder, creating beauty in darkness. In this hidden place, unseen by the judging eyes of Olympus, Persephone discovers her authentic voice and power.This revelatory episode explores the astrological tension between the fifth house (creative expression) and eleventh house (societal expectations), illuminating how our most profound self-discovery often happens in the places we least expect. Libby and Chris share personal stories of ritual, grief, and honoring the underworld journey, reminding us that sometimes we must descend to truly find ourselves.As we witness Persephone finally taking her throne beside Hades, we understand that her annual cycle of descent and return isn't just about seasons—it's about embracing all aspects of ourselves, blanketing even our darkest journeys with love, and finding sovereignty in unlikely realms.*this write up was generated by Buzzsprout's AITo find out more about Libby's work go here. Artwork is from John William Waterhouse - Persephone.Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Check out the high power track “Amazing.” This song, from her new EP My Way, is one she penned while dating stateside and imagining her future partner.

Laura and Maria discuss what happened on the recent DRI Dream retreat to the ancient dream healing site of Epidavros in Greece.  We join them while they are there, enjoying the sights and sounds of this powerful ancient complex dedicated to Asklepios, the God of Healing and go down into the Abaton with them.   As part of the 4 day retreat the retreatants also visit the ancient city of Corinth, much still standing, and then enjoy the powerful temple dedicated to the secretive Eleusinian mysteries at Elefsina near Athens. We hear Laura and Maria reflect while there on how impressive the 3000 year old complex still is and they recall the cult of the resurrection mysteries which are dedicated to the myth of Goddess Demeter and her daughter, Persephone who is stolen by Hades, the Death God of the Underworld, and has to live in the dark for six months of each year before being allowed to return to the earth and her mother. The power of centuries of worship here can still be felt today.   Details of our next retreats and events will be advertised on the DRI website: driccpe.org.uk    Our dreams are worth inquiring about too!

Edwin Jonker is acteur. Hij studeerde twee jaar Geschiedenis aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, maar maakte daarna de stap naar het acteren. Hij was in het theater onder andere te zien als Tom Collins in ‘Rent', waarvoor hij in 2001 een John Kraaijkamp Musical Award voor beste mannelijke bijrol ontving. Ook speelde hij in voorstellingen als ‘Sister Act' en ‘The Lion King' en vorig jaar won hij een Musical Award voor beste mannelijke bijrol, voor zijn rol als Pilatus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar'. Jonker, die ook in series en films als ‘Goede tijden, slechte tijden', ‘Verliefd op Bali' en ‘Dochters' te zien was, vertolkt nu de rol van Hades in theatervoorstelling ‘HADESTOWN'. Deze wereldwijde musicalsensatie, die werd bekroond met acht Tony Awards en een Grammy Award, komt deze zomer voor het eerst naar Nederland. Twee oude liefdesverhalen komen samen in een nieuw, modern jasje: dat van de jonge dromers Orpheus en Eurydice, en dat van Koning Hades en zijn vrouw Persephone.  Lotje IJzermans gaat met Edwin Jonker in gesprek.

Hello, dear listeners. Despondent that the Kingmaker Histories isn't currently releasing? Of course you are. But luckily, there's an easy fix for that. During our between-season break, we're going to be sharing a few audio dramas with you that we think you'll really, really love. This month we're sharing Fireside Folktales by Dallas Hawthorn. Season One, Whispering, is a retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone, as told through the perspective of the soon-to-be Queen of the Dead. Season Two, which you're hearing a sample of today, is a performance of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream; an experience filled to the brim with music, mischief, magic, and stereo sound design.

The Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown is a fantastic retelling of the myths of Orpheus' journey to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice alongside the marriage of Hades and Persephone, set amidst the visual and musical elements of New Orleans during the 1920s and 1930s. On this episode, we visit with guitarist, songwriter, and producer Sam Wade, who has been on the road with the traveling version of this stunning musical for most of the last year and will continue in that role again next year. Wade has been a friend and collaborator of ours for a few years. He has produced a few songs for my wife, Michelle Lynn Thompson, including her song “Riptide.” (Listen closely for an instrumental snippet in the background of this episode.) He will also be joining me (JJT) for my set at the Audiofeed festival this summer and backing up Michelle for hers as well. We jumped at the chance to see him and the rest of the company in action with Hadestown when they came through Chattanooga recently, and to catch up with him to see what it's been like to travel with a production like this.

Dylan and Connor are joined by Betty Who (Recording Artist, Hadestown). Now there's fire burning in the valley, y'all… THE Betty Who joins the twins for the 300th episode of DRAMA. Ahead of the “Out of the Darkness” tour, Betty is here to talk all things new: music, show, and era. But not just an era of artistry, it's a new era of life that they're feeling supercharged for. Leave those Pride flags out and get ready to SWEAT in this #pride-friendly summer tour! Betty dives into the highs and lows of being in Hadestown on Broadway for six months as Persephone. We cover favorite offstage moments, as well as memories from being in the building with Solea Pfeiffer, Jordan Fisher, Philip Boykin, and Lillias White. Betty also teases a little bit about the original musical she's writing before the boys ask about their favorite Betty Who tracks, bouncing from each album and getting the tea from the artist directly. “Just Thought You Should Know,” “Wanna Be”, and “High Society” are discussed at length, along with Audra McDonald's thrilling performance in Gypsy on Broadway. Stick around for some doses of drama and absolutely incredible conversation between the twins and Betty Who. Stream “Run!” and “Sweat” and get your ticket to the Out of the Darkness tour this summer.
