Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD? A Doctor's Personal Story and Treatment. When it comes to trauma and PTSD, countless stories of suffering and survival fill the News, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and podcasts on Apple and Spotify. But one story stands out, not just because of the personal tragedy behind it, but because of the revolutionary hope it brings. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Dr. Eugene Lipov, a board-certified anesthesiologist and trauma expert, is changing the way the world understands PTSD, or as he prefers to call it, PTSI (Post-Traumatic Stress Injury). His work introduces a treatment that some have called nothing short of a miracle breakthrough. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. A Life Marked by Trauma Dr. Lipov's journey began in tragedy. During medical training, while diving in Mexico, he was struck by a boat and nearly bled to death after suffering devastating propeller injuries. “I had an out-of-body experience when I was close to death,” he recalled. That moment of hovering between life and death left a permanent mark. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Just a year later, his mother died by suicide. That profound loss shook his family and became another defining wound. “The impact of that was life-altering,” Dr. Lipov has shared. It was through these events and a growing awareness of his own PTSD that he began to search for new answers. Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD? A Doctor's Personal Story and Treatment. From Personal Loss to Medical Innovation Rather than simply endure his trauma, Dr. Lipov turned it into a driving force for discovery. He pioneered the use of the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB), a simple nerve block called “The God Shot.” Unlike conventional therapies that often focus on managing symptoms, this treatment aims to reset the brain's overactive fight-or-flight response instantly. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “Advanced brain scans show trauma leaves physical scars on the brain,” Dr. Lipov explains. “If it's a biological injury, it means it can heal.” The procedure has already transformed lives, from Navy SEALs and first responders to survivors of abuse and burnout. Patients report an almost immediate sense of calm, describing it as a return to themselves after years of chaos. Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD? The Book That Could Change Everything In his upcoming book, The God Shot: Healing Trauma's Legacy, co-authored with Lauren Ungeldi and set for release on February 17, 2026, Dr. Lipov dismantles the myths surrounding trauma. Instead of viewing PTSD as a mental weakness, he presents it as a treatable injury with a biology-based solution. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “The era of managing trauma is over,” he writes. “The age of hope and healing has begun.” The book introduces readers to the science, the stories, and the solution, offering not just coping strategies, but the possibility of full recovery. Beyond the Page: Expanding the Movement Dr. Lipov has also authored The Invisible Machine and Exit Strategy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Both works further highlight how SGB has the potential to revolutionize trauma care. These books blend medical insights with deeply personal narratives, ensuring that both professionals and trauma survivors can connect with the material. Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD? A Doctor's Personal Story and Treatment. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. But his advocacy doesn't stop with books. Through his interview on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast, available on their website, also on Apple, Spotify, and social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, he shares the science and stories behind the treatment with a wider audience. From Science to Culture To bridge the gap between medicine and culture, Dr. Lipov collaborated on It's PTSI, a poetic musical project with award-winning artist Chase Bell. Together with Jen Satterly, CEO of the All Secure Foundation, they are reframing trauma as an injury that can be healed rather than a permanent scar. The All Secure Foundation, co-founded by Jen and retired Special Operations warrior Tom Satterly, provides critical resources for combat veterans and their families. From retreats to workshops, they help warriors move from Post-Traumatic Stress to Post-Traumatic Growth, amplifying the very mission Dr. Lipov has devoted his career to. His story resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough? For too long, trauma survivors have been told that PTSD is a life sentence. Dr. Lipov's work challenges that narrative, showing that trauma is an injury, and injuries can heal. Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD? His personal story, surviving near-death, losing his mother, and living with his own trauma, fuels his drive to ensure others don't suffer in silence. And with "The God Shot" now poised to reach readers worldwide, the conversation around PTSD may be on the verge of its biggest transformation yet. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As Dr. Lipov's groundbreaking research and personal journey spread across News outlets, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and through podcasts on Apple and Spotify, the world is asking the same question: Could This Be the Miracle Breakthrough for PTSD?

As we hit our 40s and beyond, the game changes, and it's no longer about chasing ego but about channeling energy smartly. After working with countless athletes, I've seen the same cycle repeat: pushing like you're still in your 20s, sidelining recovery, neglecting nutrition, and sidelining strength training as if it's an unwanted homework assignment. And the result? Injuries, burnout, and identity crises. But here's the transformative truth: energy is your greatest asset, not your ego. As we age, we gain something invaluable—self-knowledge and wisdom. This episode invites you to harness the power of experience, turning past lessons into a roadmap for maximizing performance and sustaining a fulfilling athletic journey. Join us as we dismantle the myth that age equals decline and explore how to optimize performance in the master's category. We offer a fresh perspective on understanding human limitations and adapting strategies that empower rather than deter. Insights from the Endurance Station highlight the mantra "energy over ego," guiding us through the four pillars of mastering endurance. Whether you're competing against others or striving for personal bests, this episode provides a strategic advantage to redefine athletic goals. Tune in to rediscover the joy in competition and the art of using energy wisely to achieve lasting results.

Sometimes things don't work out the way you've been told they're supposed to ... or how they seem to be turning out for others.  No matter how well you follow the rules.  No matter how faithful you are, sometimes life just happens, and you have to figure out how to make sense of it all. In this Fair Trade episode (Part 1 of 2), Jennifer Toone shares her faith journey, starting from her childhood in California, where she encountered ostracism at church, and in school and leading into adulthood where the challenges kept coming... despite her strict adherence to church teachings. Join host Blake Smith as he sits down with Jennifer's to hear her story of struggle and transition. Listen to other episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download Transcript Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Get ready for an intensely personal, raw, and possibly uncomfortable episode of Don't Eat Poop! Warning: In case alcoholism is a sensitive topic for you, proceed with caution.In the face of a recent Celsius Astro Vibe energy drink recall due to a mix-up at the factory, which resulted in High Noon vodka seltzer alcohol inside Celsius cans, our hosts Matt and Francine are approaching this recall in a different way.To better illustrate how serious this mishap is and its possible consequences, Matt opens up on his complicated decades-long journey with alcoholism and how he's finally managed to recover from it in the past two and a half years.Tune in for this brave story and more information on this possibly disastrous recall.In this episode:

I sit down with Pastor Tony Calabrese, lead pastor at The Gathering in Spring Hill, Tennessee, for a conversation that ranges from his admittedly bougie coffee habits to the deep spiritual work that happens in seasons of transition.Tony shares how his passion for prayer was shaped by watching his single mom depend on God through difficult circumstances, and why he believes prayer begins with understanding God as Father rather than taskmaster. We dive into his journey of saying yes to his biggest no - church planting - and how God often calls us out of our comfort zones to step into His purposes.The heart of our conversation centers on transition as spiritual invitation. Tony offers profound insight for anyone feeling stuck between what was and what's to come, explaining why God's perceived absence in difficult seasons might actually be the prime condition for His breakthrough. We explore how the greatest demonstration of God's power at the resurrection was actually what was missing from the tomb, not what was there.Tony also shares about The Gathering, the church he recently planted after a previous church planting season ended during COVID. He describes this new venture as the most freeing and joy-filled season of his 19-year ministry. Whether you're in a season of transition, struggling with prayer, or simply need encouragement to trust God in the unknown, this conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for following Jesus through every season of life.Chapters00:00 | Introduction and First Impressions04:42 | Transitioning Through Life's Seasons05:11 | The Coffee Journey09:12 | The Power of Prayer14:27 | Personal Stories of Prayer19:13 | Saying Yes to Our Biggest No23:07 | Encouragement for Prayer29:02 | Navigating Transitions30:14 | Navigating Transitions: The Spiritual Journey37:01 | The Power of Dependence in Transition41:29 | God's Silence: A Test of Faith47:34 | The Gathering: A New Church Community54:45 | Designing a Beautiful Day: Simple JoysTony's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tony_calabrese_The Gathering Website: https://www.thegatheringchurch.co/Tony on QAVA: https://qava.tv/teachers/tony-calabrese/

This week on Fat Science, Mark Wright, Andrea Taylor, and Dr. Emily Cooper dig deep into the science and history behind why diets don't work for lasting weight management. From early fad diets, through to modern metabolic research, the episode explains why calorie restriction often backfires—and why fueling the body is key to long-term health.Dr. Cooper unpacks the latest evidence about metabolic adaptation, the hormonal drivers of weight regain, and the persistent harms caused by repeated dieting. Listeners will leave with a renewed understanding of metabolism's complexity, the importance of medical advocacy, and the critical need to challenge diet culture and weight bias.Key TakeawaysShort-term weight loss from dieting is common, but centuries of evidence show most weight is regained—sometimes with additional harm.Metabolic adaptation and hormonal changes (like drops in leptin and rises in ghrelin) make weight regain almost inevitable for most people after calorie restriction.Repeated dieting (weight cycling) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and visceral fat, not just regaining lost weight.The biggest breakthroughs in metabolism came in the 20th century, but weight bias and diet industry profits keep the focus on ineffective short-term strategies.True long-term progress rests on regular fueling, metabolic evaluation, and avoiding the trap of repeated restrictive diets.Expert Insights & Practical AdviceDr. Cooper highlights landmark studies (Minnesota Starvation Experiment, Dutch famine, the "Biggest Loser" follow-up) illustrating how diets slow metabolism and can even cause lasting damage.The science behind metabolic hormones—leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, GLP-1—shows why the body fights back against weight loss and why medications must be paired with metabolic support, not additional restriction.Reflections on weight bias in medicine, the need for informed consent around diets, and how current research is still catching up to clinical reality.Personal Stories & Culture CritiqueAndrea shares how social circles demonstrate the futility of diets and the cycle of weight loss and regain.Mark recounts professional experiences highlighting systemic bias and cultural attitudes toward weight and health, advocating for preventive medicine as the path forward.The hosts challenge listeners to rethink their relationship with food, prioritize health, and push back against societal shame and stigma.Resources from the EpisodeFat Science is committed to debunking the myths about metabolism, diabetes, and fat.

Beauty is not a luxury—it's a vital, transformative force that shapes souls, redeems culture, and unlocks the creative potential God has placed in us all. In this inspiring and intensely practical episode, Catherine welcomes Isaac and Emily Gay to “Christian Parent, Crazy World” for a discussion that is anything but superficial. Together, they tackle the overlooked virtue of beauty in the church and in the home—a topic with power to reach the lost and restore what has been tragically neglected in the Western church. Isaac and Emily Gay share their hearts, talents, and hard-won wisdom from years of artistic leadership, ministry, and motherhood. With backgrounds in theater, worship, and church planting, they know firsthand the struggle of being artists in a culture—and a faith community—that too often sidelines creativity in favor of utilitarian metrics. Their mission? To help the modern church reclaim its historical role as a cultivator of beauty and creativity, both in its worship and its community life. Key topics explored in this episode: The Forgotten Virtue: Catherine and her guests outline how beauty once held a central place in the church, only to be pushed aside by industrial-age utilitarianism, soul-counting, and a focus on productivity at the expense of creativity. Healing the Rift: Catherine dives into the history of how secularism, dualism, and fundamentalist thinking fractured the relationship between church and creative souls. A Biblical Blueprint for Collaboration: Drawing from Exodus and the story of Bezalel and Oholiab—the first individuals filled with the Holy Spirit for the purpose of art—Emily and Isaac urge pastors and church leaders to actively commission and empower artists, forging genuine partnerships for the sake of the Gospel. The Culture-Shaping Power of Art: Isaac shares a provocative example from pop culture—Lil Nas X’s infamous “satanic shoes”—to illustrate how the world hasn’t forgotten art’s power, but the church has. The consequences? Hollywood and secular creatives have filled the cultural void abandoned by faith communities. Personal Stories and Honest Confessions: Catherine, Emily, and Isaac each open up about their individual struggles—feeling misunderstood, pressured to produce, and at times outright rejected by faith communities. Their honesty will resonate with parents, pastors, and anyone grappling with their creative calling. Reimagining Success: The conversation challenges the prevailing idea that only overtly “productive” or evangelical art is worthwhile, calling for a holistic embrace of beauty as a means of forming souls, shaping culture, and expressing the fullness of the Imago Dei. Have you ever wondered why the church has lost its cultural influence to Hollywood? Are you, or your children, gifted in the arts and unsure of how that fits in God’s kingdom? Are you a church leader looking to be a force for good in our culture? Emily and Isaac’s insights will encourage you to see artistic expression as a calling worthy of investment—and essential to the church’s mission in the world. This episode is essential listening for parents, pastors, creatives, and anyone longing to see God redeem our culture through something as simple—and as sacred—as beauty. Don’t miss this heartfelt and hope-filled conversation that just might change the way you see art, faith, parenthood, and the power of beauty to shape the world for good. Guest Bios: Isaac and Emily Gay are artists, worship leaders, and church planters in Buffalo, NY. With backgrounds in acting, worship, and the arts, they’ve helped lead church planting and prayer movements while building creative communities both locally and online. Parents of three boys, they are passionate about the power of beauty, creativity, and play—at home, in the church, and in culture.

Ever feel stuck in decision overload—second-guessing every choice, lying awake with racing thoughts, or wondering if you've already missed God's plan for your life? You're not alone, friend. In this episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, we're unpacking the affirmation “God will guide me.”I'll share some of my own stories of how God showed up in both the little things (like picture frames!) and the big transitions (like remarriage and buying a home). We'll talk about why His guidance is steady, why it comes step by step (not all at once), and how it brings peace right here in the present moment.And because you know I love weaving faith with brain science, I'll explain what's happening in your brain when anxious thought-loops take over—and how truth and trust in God can literally rewire your neural pathways.By the end, you'll feel encouraged to take that next baby step, breathe a little deeper, and rest in God's steady hand.✨ What you'll take away:God's guidance isn't random—it's steady and personal.Neuroscience shows your brain can rewire toward peace.Replacing anxious thoughts with truth strengthens your mind.You don't need the whole map—just the next step.Peace is available right here, right now.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Quiz on Decision Making03:17 Understanding God's Guidance06:31 Neuroscience and Faith: Rewiring the Mind09:18Three Truths About God's Guidance12:05 God's Guidance is Steady16:13 Step-by-Step Guidance19:55 Finding Peace in the Present Moment24:06 Personal Stories of Guidance28:06 Recap and Final Thoughts

Send us a textIn this episode of the Japanese America Podcast titled "Legacy of Hope: Clara Breed's Letters and the Art of Compassion," hosts Koji and Michelle embark on a touching exploration of the enduring power of empathy and small acts of kindness. They begin by sharing personal anecdotes about the impactful teachers in their lives, setting the stage for the inspiring story of Clara Breed, a courageous children's librarian from San Diego during World War II. Clara Breed's quiet defiance against the forced incarceration of Japanese American families is highlighted through her thoughtful gestures of sending letters and supplies to children in camps, creating a vital link to the outside world. The episode draws poignant parallels between Breed's actions and the historical support of the Quakers, reflecting on the lost art of letter writing and its lasting impact on human connection.

Why High-Achieving Women Think They Can't Be ADHD So many ADHD women don't even consider the possibility that they have ADHD—especially if they've been successful on the outside. If you've ever thought: “But I did well in school… I'm productive at work… I can hyper-focus when I need to… there's no way I could be ADHD,” you're not alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 10 hidden reasons high-achieving women doubt, dismiss, or completely miss their ADHD diagnosis. From the masking trifecta to external structures that hid the struggle, to hyper-focus that looked like “proof” you couldn't have ADHD—you'll see why success doesn't cancel out the challenges. By the end, you may finally understand why ADHD has been a silent part of your story all along. And more importantly—you'll walk away knowing you're not just “a mess” or “all over the place.” Your struggles have a real explanation, and you don't have to keep doubting yourself.

Send us a textMy guest on the podcast today is the wonderful Dawn Llewellyn. Dr Dawn Llewellyn is Associate Professor of Religion and Gender at the University of Chester.  She researches and writes about gendered experiences and structures that are often silenced by patriarchal ideologies, and focuses on women's lives (inclusive) in contemporary Christianity and feminist spiritualities. Dawn herself is in a longterm relationship but she is childless by choice and has been researching, publishing, and speaking publicly about pronatalism, motherhood, and childlessness for over 13 years. She co-founded Storyhouse Childless which is a weekend long series of events at Storyhouse in Chester and she is part of the volunteer steering group that programmes the Festival — which, if you're listening to this episode the week it comes out, is happening this weekend — the 12th - 14th of September 2025 — and you can still get tickets if you fancy going, which you may well after hearing this conversation. Dawn and I talk about so many things, not least how religion, and how if your faith is a big part of your life, it can be incredibly challenging to navigate being a woman who has either chosen not to have have kids, to has ended up not having kids. I found it absolutely fascinating hearing from Dawn about the impact of religion on many women without kids as it's not something I've ever talked about on the podcast before. We also talk about the impact of pronatalism, we talk about the grief that so many women suffer around their childlessness, and Dawn also tells me all about the wonderful Storyhouse Childless festival which she pays such an important role in.03:28 Exploring Religion and Childlessness07:20 Personal Stories and Struggles15:28 Navigating Guilt and Stigma18:33 Dawn's Personal Journey27:43 Redefining Fulfillment and Success31:20 Introduction to Storyhouse Childless Festival31:45 The Inception and Growth of the Festival34:15 Festival Activities and Themes34:51 Diverse Experiences and Intersectionality36:56 Panel Discussions and Personal Stories42:36 Navigating Grief and Identity48:27 Support Systems and Coping Mechanisms57:02 Event Details and Final ThoughtsFind out more about Storyhouse Childless: https://www.storyhouse.com/seasons/storyhouse-childless/ Support the showPre-Order my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

The 100th episode of Fat Science brings together Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright for a live mailbag celebration with listeners worldwide. Hear how the show began, reflect on lessons learned, and get answers to the questions people wish their doctors would address—especially about metabolism, obesity, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, and more.Dr. Cooper shares the big-picture science behind “why we get fat,” the true drivers of metabolic dysfunction, and the evolution of her pioneering clinical practice. Andrea and Mark reveal the patient's perspective—an honest look at what happens when the latest science meets real lives. Plus, practitioners and patients weigh in on the shifting cultural tide: it's not a diet problem, it's a metabolic problem.Key Takeaways:GLP-1 medications do not appear to harm future fertility or cause birth defect risks; improved metabolism may even help down the road.Leptin resistance/suppression: what labs really mean, why mechanical eating matters, and how ghrelin and other signals clarify the picture.“Diet Drug” stigma is outdated; GLP-1 medications target dysfunction, not willpower.Compounded GLP-1 solutions can be risky. Dr. Cooper explains supply chain, testing, and safer cost-saving alternatives like Lilly Direct, NovoCare, and Canadian Kwik pens.Autoimmune diseases (like celiac) may interfere with signals, but GLP-1s—especially bioidentical ones—are still options with careful monitoring.“Selfish Brain” explained: labs to request, what cerebral insulin suppression looks like, and why fueling and sleep are core solutions.Hashimoto's: often distinct from metabolic dysfunction; both need tailored management and mechanical fueling.Heavy lifting & nutrition: protein needs often overstated—1.0–1.3g/kg ideal; pre-bed protein useful; DEXA scans help track muscle mass.Menopause & metabolism: estrogen/leptin loss, why patch plus micronized progesterone is often safest, and how each choice impacts metabolic health.Navigating insurance complexities, tariffs, and lifetime maxes—when and how to explore creative access.Metabolic changes tied to cycles, pregnancy, birth control: which progestins are weight-neutral, what to ask, and which labs to run if hitting plateaus.GLP-1s often improve blood pressure; dizziness may mean time to reduce meds, not the GLP-1.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea and Mark share a decade-plus of metabolic journeys—their dramatic health wins and the ongoing battle for self-compassion and body image. Listeners celebrate victories: reversing fatty liver, thriving after cancer, and breaking free from diet cycles.“No diets. No agendas. Just science that makes you feel better.” The audience and hosts repeat this Fat Science tagline to mark the milestone.Resources:Fat Science explains where fat really comes from and why it won't just go away. We're committed to empowering people with accurate information about metabolism and busting the myth that fat is failure.

In this eye-opening episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco is joined by Sheila Holm and General Paul Vallely to confront the ongoing injustices faced by the January 6th defendants and their families. General Vallely shares powerful insights from his direct interactions with J6ers in prison, exposing the harsh conditions, mistreatment, and lack of proper justice endured by those caught in the system. Sheila Holm sheds light on the broader impact, revealing how nearly 40,000 people have been devastated by bankruptcies, broken families, and even suicides connected to these prosecutions. Together, the panel highlights the misrepresentation of J6ers in the media, the insufficiency of recent pardons, and the urgent call for full pardons of innocence. They emphasize the need for leadership at the highest levels — including the White House — to take decisive action and rectify these deep injustices. This episode is both a wake-up call and a rallying cry for Americans to stand for truth, justice, and the constitutional rights of those who have been silenced and forgotten.   00:00 Introduction and Initial Thoughts 00:10 The Case of the Grandmother 01:07 Writing the Article and Seeking Justice 01:44 General Valle's Involvement and Operation Jericho 02:15 Misrepresentation and the Need for True Pardons 02:46 Sheila's Investigative Work 03:58 Horrific Jail Conditions and Launching Operation Jericho 05:25 Congressional Inaction and Trump's Clemency 06:26 The Ongoing Struggle for Justice 08:28 Personal Stories and Continued Intimidation 10:20 The Need for a Pardon of Innocence 13:37 The Role of the Military and Law Enforcement 15:59 Public Awareness and the Role of the FBI 22:30 Call to Action and Conclusion   LANDING PAGE for people to get a "FREE" precious metals consultation with Dr. Kirk Elliott: https://www.kepm.com/jaco/ Affordable Cell Activation Technology with LifeWave: Experience miracles with a deep discount as a Brand Partner https://www.lifewave.com/michaeljaco https://michaelkjaco.com/liveyoungerwithmj/ Power of the Patch Information Resource: Go to: https://liveyounger.com/ AGE REVERSAL WITH GHK-Cu Copper Peptides contained in X-39 and X-49 https://copperpeptidebreakthrough.com Join us every week for Michael Jaco's Miracle Monday Meeting at 6:00 PM EST for Product Testimonials & Questions This 50 Minute Meeting Will Teach You Everything You Need To Know About Phototherapy & LifeWave!! ~ Great for Guests, Customers & Brand Partners ~ ⏬ Click the link below for Meeting access ⏬ Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87949021063 JoinMichaels Business Builder Webinar ~ Friday 6:00 EST Tune in weekly to Michael Jaco's LifeWave Business Builder Webinars feature LifeWave's top leaders sharing proven strategies, business tips, and real-world success stories to help you grow your organization and achieve lasting financial success. ⏬ Click the link below for Webinar access ⏬ https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86714931635?pwd=WQ8UTQc8o95A1g5q7bOAnRW79mPJep.1 Shop Intuitive Wellness Products to reverse the devastating effects of the vaccine impacts on cardiovascular, reproduction and greater potential for death at any time in history.

Exploring the Mysteries: Can We Experience Precognition and Have Free Will? Ever wondered if Precognition Experiences are real? Imagine knowing something seconds before it happens. It's like watching a movie in your mind before the scene unfolds. But, can we experience precognition and have free will at the same time? Let's dive into this intriguing topic. Have you ever asked yourself, what did I just experience precognition or vision? This question often arises when we encounter moments that seem to defy logic. In this video, we explore these phenomena and discuss which one did I experience precognition or premonition? Understanding PrecognitionIn our daily lives, we might experience flashes of insight that feel like Precognition Experiences. But how do we differentiate between a simple intuition and a true precognitive event? And what percentage of precognitive experiences actually come true? These are the questions we aim to answer. Personal Stories and Insights Our guest, Will Heights, shares his journey of living with intuition. From childhood visions to adult realizations, his story is a testament to the power of the mind. He often found himself questioning, what did I just experience precognition or vision? His experiences provide a unique perspective on Precognition Experiences. Science and SpiritualityThe intersection of science and spirituality is where the magic happens. Can we truly say can we experience precognition and have free will? This video delves into the science behind these experiences and how they might coexist with our understanding of free will. Practical Applications Understanding Precognition Experiences can lead to a more aware and purposeful life. By exploring which one did I experience precognition or premonition, we can better navigate our own intuitive abilities. This knowledge empowers us to make informed decisions and embrace our intuitive gifts. Join us as we explore these fascinating topics and uncover the truth behind what percentage of precognitive experiences actually come true.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Jim Ferrell, author of  You and We: A Relational Rethinking of Work, Life and Leadership. Andy has long been a big fan of Jim's work with The Arbinger Institute, authoring Leadership and Self-Deception and The Anatomy of Peace.  In this conversation, Jim unpacks his insights on how leaders can move from a self-focused to a relational mindset. Drawing from his new book, Jim explains why our effectiveness as leaders depends not just on what we do, but on how we view and relate to the people around us. The discussion explores what it means to be relational instead of transactional, how leaders can better navigate conflict, and the subtle ways our self-deceptions hinder growth. Jim also shares practical ideas for building trust, leading with humility, and focusing on outcomes that matter most. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights that will challenge how you think about leadership, culture, and collaboration. If you're looking for insights on how to become a more relational leader and truly impact those you serve, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Machines don't have to be great at relation, but they'll be great at everything else. And if we're lousy at relation ourselves, we won't have a job.” "Those who can relate better, that's the uniquely human competitive advantage we bring to the marketplace." "The top people spend most of their time on the relational work, not on the other stuff. So you see it happening already. That's all going to be accelerating." “The most important part of the chart of any org chart is actually all the space in between the names and boxes, because that's where everything's happening, right?” “We went from the body economy to the mind economy to now the heart economy.” “Proximity is not necessarily closeness.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:07 Jim Ferrell's Backstory and Early Influences 06:17 About Jim Writing Leadership and Self-Deception 08:57 Exploring the Concept of Relation vs. Relationships 10:07 The Five Levels of Relation 13:19 Managing Relation in Organizations 17:29 The Shift to the Heart Economy 20:00 Insights from the Book 'You and We' 27:00 Proximity vs. Closeness in Remote Work 29:08 The Power of Hydrogen and Oxygen 29:46 Remote vs. In-Person Work Dynamics 32:14 The Importance of Connectivity in Teams 33:14 Understanding Relational Space 34:35 Personal Stories of Relation 37:48 How Can We Discern Where We Are in the Levels?

The phrase “inclusive and genuine faith community” ought to be synonymous with church.  It ought to be a given.  However, as MaryAnn Scott shares with host, Robin Linkhart, in this Fair Trade episode, that is not always the case. Here, MaryAnn shares her faith transition story, detailing her upbringing in a large LDS family, her struggles with balancing faith and personal identity, and her eventual departure from the LDS Church. Driven by a desire for a supportive faith environment, she describes her transition to Community of Christ and the incredibly welcoming community she found there. MaryAnn emphasizes the importance of community, acceptance, and the freedom to explore faith without judgment.  Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Millions of people are living with unexplained symptoms like allergies, brain fog, anxiety, and chronic fatigue without realizing the hidden cause: mast cells gone rogue. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Host Dave Asprey sits down with leading functional medicine physician Dr. Tania Dempsey to uncover how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) drives inflammation, disrupts mitochondria, and sabotages metabolism—and what you can do to switch it off. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Dr. Dempsey is internationally recognized for her work in functional medicine, biohacking, and chronic illness. She co-founded the AIM Center for Personalized Medicine, has published groundbreaking research on MCAS with Dr. Lawrence Afrin, and treats some of the most complex cases of immune dysregulation, autoimmune disease, and environmental illness. Her expertise helps you understand why mast cells are the missing link in allergies, long COVID, Lyme, mold toxicity, and even hormone disruption—and how to reclaim control of your biology. Dave and Dr. Dempsey break down how mast cells interact with mitochondria, hormones, and the nervous system, showing how chronic inflammation accelerates aging and blocks human performance. You'll discover why biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, red light, cold therapy, sleep optimization, and smarter not harder lifestyle strategies all influence mast cell stability. They also explore why brain optimization, neuroplasticity, and nootropics are essential for calming inflammatory cascades, and how functional medicine provides practical solutions beyond conventional treatment. You'll Learn: • Why mast cells are the hidden switch behind allergies, chronic inflammation, and brain fog • How mitochondria and mast cells work together to drive human performance—or disease • The connection between toxic mold, Lyme, long COVID, hormone imbalance, and MCAS • How supplements, fasting, ketosis, and cold therapy stabilize mast cells and boost longevity • Why functional medicine and biohacking are essential for complex chronic illness • How mast cells impact metabolism, sleep optimization, and neuroplasticity • The surprising link between mast cells, anxiety, and mental health symptoms This episode is essential for anyone serious about hacking inflammation, protecting longevity, upgrading metabolism, and achieving high performance with resilience and clarity. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.
