When interiors meet intention: a dynamic panel on how color theory, holistic living, sustainable materials, and design thinking come together to redefine residential spaces for 2025 and beyond. Sherwin Williams set out to cover Earth with beautiful colors over 150 years ago. 1866, Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams founded the company in Cleveland, Ohio, on a mission really. And the result is a company dedicated to delivery of the best in paints, coatings and related products to discerning clients all over the world. That dedication was evident from the start with the hiring of Percy Neyman, the very first chemist employed by an American paint manufacturer. Sherwin Williams continues to set the bar high and provide the design community with the essential tools to create superior projects. Sherwin Williams is commitment to supporting the design community, which is why they sponsor programs, like this one. They are also dedicated to a betterment philosophical approach which is why they selected ‘wellness” as the topic for this talk.Thank you Sherwin Williams for your tireless support. In this timely conversation, experts from across interior design and sustainable living explore what it means to design for wellness in 2025. Moderated by Sue Wadden and Ashlynn Bourque of Sherwin-Williams, the panel features voices from: Jeanne Chung (Cozy, Stylish, Chic) — known for crafting spaces that blend comfort, style, and emotional balance. Julee Ireland (Julee Ireland Design Studio) — bringing a refined, intentional aesthetic rooted in longevity and livable elegance. Greg Roth (CarbonShack) — spotlighting eco-conscious material sourcing, sustainable practices, and climate-aligned living environments. Together they examine how interior design can be a catalyst for holistic living — from color palettes that promote calm and emotional balance, to spatial planning that supports aging in place, to circadian lighting and neurodiversity-friendly layouts. The discussion underscores a rising trend: residential interiors inspired by hospitality, wellness, and sustainability principles. Listeners will come away with fresh ideas on turning their homes into future-proof sanctuaries — design-forward, earth-conscious, and emotionally attuned. Health span-focused design: Designing spaces that help residents live longer, healthier lives at home. Aging in place: Home layouts that accommodate long-term functionality and wellness. Home gyms, saunas, cold plunges: Integrating spa-level wellness amenities in private residences. Dual kitchens: Inspired by Italian family homes for multigenerational living. Collaboration with architects: Designers as integral contributors to maximize natural light and spatial flow. VR visualization: Helping clients experience proportion, scale, and sightlines before construction. Problem-solving as designers: Addressing unforeseen construction issues creatively while maintaining aesthetics. Circadian lighting: Lighting systems (e.g., Lutron Ketra) that mimic natural light patterns to support sleep and productivity. Plant-based fabrics (hemp, bamboo, kelp): Sustainable, high-performance materials. Evidence-based color design: Physiological effects of color on multigenerational inhabitants. Neurodiverse design considerations: Minimizing overstimulation in homes for ADHD, dementia, or sensory sensitivity. Hospitality influence on residential design: Bringing experiences from wellness hotels into private homes. Storytelling & provenance: Educating clients about material sourcing and sustainable practices. Sustainability education: Visiting factories, quarries, and trade shows to understand materials and processes.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Gennadi Seko, founder and CEO of Oxilight, who is revolutionizing wound care diagnostics by transforming smartphones into powerful medical imaging devices. Gennadi shares his personal journey from Bay Street finance to medical physics, driven by his grandmother's diabetic foot amputation. He discusses how his company is disrupting the medical device industry by making diagnostic technology portable, affordable, and accessible—moving critical wound care assessments from expensive hospital labs to patients' homes. This conversation explores the intersection of deep tech innovation, healthcare accessibility, and the power of multimodal diagnostics in saving lives and limbs. Four Key Takeaways [26:19] Multimodality is the Game Changer - Instead of multiple expensive single-purpose devices sitting on shelves, combining three technologies (multispectral imaging, fluorescence imaging, and thermal imaging) into one $200 smartphone attachment provides a 360-degree view of wound health and dramatically improves diagnostic specificity. [9:29] The Diabetes Crisis is Escalating - 27% of seniors (65+) in the United States have diabetes, and the disease is now affecting people as young as 25. Diabetic foot complications account for 80% of all non-traumatic amputations, making early detection critical. [21:44] Mobility Saves Lives and Money - Moving diagnostic technology to patients' homes solves the compliance problem and enables early intervention. Preventing one amputation saves healthcare systems 10x in costs while dramatically improving patient quality of life. [14:50] Physiological Imaging Beats Anatomical Measurement - Traditional wound measurement with rulers only tracks size over time, requiring multiple visits. Physiological imaging provides immediate prognostic information from a single snapshot, identifying whether a wound will heal normally or requires intervention. Quote of the Show (23:27): “I don't want to improve hospital healthcare. I want to improve healthcare in general." - Gennadi Seko Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this episode, Dr Julie Greeves, principal physiologist for the British Army and expert in applied human physiology, shares groundbreaking research on female soldier health, injury prevention, and performance optimisation. Dr. Greeves unpacks the Women in Ground Close Combat research program, and explains what it tells us about physical performance, load carriage and reproductive health. Listeners from defence, sports, or health sciences will benefit from these insights, which can help tailor training and policies for women in demanding environments. We discuss the implementation of physical employment standards, the importance of nutrition, menstrual health and sleep for female soldiers, and the steps required to help women thrive in strenuous roles within the military.Key Takeaways:Development and implementation of gender-specific physical employment standards and their impact on female recruitment.Physiological differences between men and women: skeletal structure, muscle mass, cardiovascular capacity, and susceptibility to injury.Injury risk factors: higher stress fractures and bone injuries in women, especially during initial training phases.Benefits of female physiology: metabolic advantages, increased fat oxidation during prolonged submaximal exercise, and potential to reduce injury risk with appropriate systems.The myth of training around the menstrual cycle and its practical, science-backed inaccuracy.Hormonal fluctuations, menstrual health, contraceptive use, and their impacts on performance and injury risk.The importance of micronutrients like iron and calcium for women in military settings.The role of sleep, stress, and the gut-brain axis in psychological health and performance, with sex differences in cortisol responses.Practical advice for individuals preparing for arduous training: targeted load carriage, resistance, nutrition, and tracking menstrual health.Guest:Julie is the Head of Army Health and Performance Research in the British Army. After obtaining her doctorate in female physiology, Julie has spent over 25 years pioneering original research on musculoskeletal health and human performance in the military. Julie's research has widely informed Army and Defence policies, and she was decorated with an OBE in 2017 for her scientific contribution to the opening of Ground Close Combat roles to women. Julie holds honorary Chair appointments at the School of Medicine UEA and UCL and has published over 140 original papers in peer-reviewed journals.Hosted by Martin Jones & Jonpaul Nevin https://www.ophp.co.uk Produced & edited by Bess ManleyResources:https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-greeves-obe-facsm-60170a52/?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RgILbTUAAAAJ&hl=en Arduous Training Guide for Women – coming soon!Chapters:00:13 Julie's Career Journey and Current Role02:06 Women in Ground Close Combat Research Program04:39 Implementing Research Findings in the Army08:41 Physical Differences and Injury Risks for Women12:02 Benefits of Female Physiology in the Military16:17 Training and the Menstrual Cycle22:58 Analysing Data on Muscle Performance and Bone Health23:12 Informed Decisions on Contraceptives and Training23:57 Tactical Decisions Around Menstrual Cycle24:17 Understanding RED-S in Military Context25:13 Energy Deficiency and Logistical Challenges26:52 Impact of Sleep on Reproductive Health29:16 Psychological Health and Stress Responses33:14 Nutritional Needs and Training Recommendations36:09 Empowering Women Through Menstrual Health Tracking38:33 Future Research and Implementation42:46 Final Thoughts and Closing RemarksWomen can absolutely thrive in demanding military and sporting environments if they get the right training, nutrition, sleep, and monitor their menstrual health.

Brian and Kristen return after completing their homework: mapping their recurring conflict pattern step-by-step. And something shifts. Instead of focusing on who's right, they begin identifying when the pattern starts, how it escalates, and where they might choose something different. They talk about having a “good week,” more laughter, and fewer misunderstandings—but Zach presses deeper: Was it luck, or was it intentional? What unfolds is a layered conversation about stress, chronic pain, medication changes, PMS, defensiveness, and the powerful internal story Brian carries that says, “If there's a problem, it must be me.” Zach helps them connect the dots between depression's lies, physiological stress, and how quickly neutral requests can turn into personal threat. The couple names their 10-step pattern openly—fight or flight, overthinking, mounting a defense, physical withdrawal—and begins experimenting with something new: interrupting the script before it reaches step six. This episode isn't about resolution. It's about pattern awareness and learning how to redirect before old muscle memory takes over. They close by identifying the next layer to explore in Episode 3: their over-functioner / under-functioner dynamic—and how it triggers deeper family-of-origin wounds. Key Takeaways A “good week” is often intentional, not accidental Externalizing the problem (“us vs. the schedule”) strengthens the team Physiological stress (sleep, pain, hormones, meds) directly impacts conflict Depression distorts perception and reinforces “I'm the problem” narratives Defensiveness often protects something deeply valuable Mapping a conflict pattern creates space for choice Interrupting the script—even once—builds momentum Repair matters more than resolution “Something new” is the antidote to “more of the same” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this powerful episode of the Peak Human Labs Podcast, Dr. Sanjeev Goel sits down with ultra-endurance athlete, cancer survivor, and leadership speaker Sean Swarner to explore the intersection of resilience, identity, and purpose. Sean has accomplished feats most consider impossible, completing the Explorers Grand Slam, the Seven Summits plus the North and South Poles, running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, finishing Ironman World Championships, and more, all while living with only one functioning lung. Sean shares his extraordinary journey through two childhood cancer diagnoses, Hodgkin's lymphoma at 13 and a rare sarcoma at 16, along with intensive chemotherapy, radiation that permanently damaged his right lung, and survival odds that were nearly nonexistent. Those early battles shaped the mindset he still lives by today, staying present, visualizing success, and anchoring his actions to deeper purpose. From imagining himself destroying cancer cells as a child to holding onto the image of a full family dinner table, Sean learned to focus not on avoiding death, but on choosing life. Together, Sean and Dr. Goel explore why the mind often quits before the body, how small acts of self-negotiation quietly erode core values, and why chasing external achievements can lead to hollow victories or even depression. Sean introduces the concept of “false summits”, milestones that look impressive but leave us asking, now what, and explains how true fulfillment comes from alignment, not accolades. Throughout the conversation, Sean offers practical and relatable tools for everyday life, breaking overwhelming goals into micro steps, reframing habits around who you are rather than what you're avoiding, and separating identity from accomplishments. He also shares insights from his upcoming book, The True Summit Method: How Leaders Turn Pressure into Peak Performance, and his work guiding others up Mount Kilimanjaro, where he blends extreme challenge with deep personal reflection. Whether you're navigating health challenges, pursuing big goals, rebuilding after burnout, or feeling unfulfilled despite success, this episode offers raw honesty, mental resilience strategies, and a grounded roadmap for building a life that feels both successful and meaningful, one intentional step at a time. Our Guest: Sean Swarner Sean Swarner is an extreme endurance athlete, keynote speaker, author, and adventurer who defies limits. After surviving two childhood cancers that left him with one lung, he completed feats including the Explorers Grand Slam, seven marathons in seven days across seven continents, and multiple Ironman finishes. Featured in the documentary True North (available free on YouTube), Sean now helps leaders and adventurers avoid "false summits" through his True Summit Method framework, Kilimanjaro expeditions, workshops, and upcoming book. He blends personal experience with leadership insights to turn pressure into peak performance. Key Takeaways Personal core values act as an internal compass during adversity and pressure. The mind often gives up before the body reaches its true limit. Small compromises with yourself can slowly erode confidence and self-respect. Focusing on the next small step makes overwhelming goals achievable. Achievement without alignment leads to false summits and emotional emptiness. True fulfillment comes from the process, not just the outcome. Success and fulfillment are not always the same; alignment bridges the gap.

In today's episode, we sat down with Stefanie Michele for a deeply honest, compassionate conversation about binge eating, body image, nervous system regulation, and what it really means to heal from the inside out. Stefanie shares her personal journey through 25 years of disordered eating - restriction, bingeing, orthorexia, bulimia, and anorexia - and how she found true recovery at 40. Her story alone is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, even when it feels unimaginable.We go far beyond food rules and willpower and into the nervous system, emotional regulation, trauma, and self-trust. We talk about why binge eating is rooted in scarcity (not lack of discipline), how physiology has to come before mindset work, and why shame keeps people stuck.This episode is for anyone who feels broken, out of control around food, or exhausted from fighting their body - and is ready for a more peaceful, sustainable way forward. If you've ever thought, “Why do I do this?” or “What's wrong with me?” - this conversation will help you see that nothing is wrong with you at all.“Binge eating is not a disorder of gluttony. It's a disorder of scarcity.”- Stefanie Michele“When we don't understand why we behave the way we do, we assume we're broken.”- Stefanie MicheleThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why binge eating feels like a “hijacking” of the body—and how it differs from overeatingHow chronic dieting, restriction, and food rules disregulate the nervous systemThe role of physiology (adequate food, carbs, movement) in emotional regulationWhy shame and self-criticism actually fuel binge–restrict cyclesHow emotional suppression (like unexpressed anger) can drive binge eatingWhat it really means to have a regulated nervous system (hint: it's not being calm all the time)How social media imagery impacts body image - and why curating your feed mattersPractical examples of using somatic tools to feel emotions without getting stuck Connect with Stefanie Michele:I am Stefanie Michele WebsiteI am Stefanie Michele InstagramI am Stefanie Michele SubstackFull But Not Finished Podcast - SpotifyFull But Not Finished Podcast - Apple PodcastsThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Physiological peace and rewiring a creative soul. Creative pursuits helped my guest, Jaime Townzen, to overcome years of grief and caregiving stress to complete and publish her first novel, but it's not all about writing!In this episode Jaime shares her journey from high-achieving, people-pleasing pre-med student to embracing her passion for storytelling, a transition sparked by a pivotal moment of encouragement from a college professor. A period of caregiving and loss stalled Jaime's writing career, but a spontaneous decision to try watercolour painting during the pandemic provided her with a sense of physiological peace that years of traditional self-care could not reach, while also serving as a bridge to transport her back to writing. Her Masters' thesis became the springboard for her novel, Absorbed, a coming-of-age story that explores themes of 1990s nostalgia, teen identity and the complexities of consent. The conversation also touches on the importance of granting oneself grace during seasons of emotional exhaustion and the value of following the 'spark''of excitement to reignite inspiration. Jaime's story serves as a powerful reminder that creative outlets are not just hobbies, but vital tools for navigating life's most difficult transitions.You might also like:Blossoming in Art with Bianca GiarolaTech, Translations and Storytelling with John GuiverAdventures in all Dimensions with Gina FarrarClick here to buy Samantha EJ Button's poetry collection Not Wholesome Content I would love some financial support to help me to keep making this podcast.

Welcome to episode #257!
Episode Highlights With KatieGrounding basics: the Earth is an electron reservoir; skin contact equalizes your body's electrical potential and lowers body voltage.Native vs non-native EMFs: native = Schumann/geomagnetic background; non-native = wiring and wireless sources. Aim to increase exposure to native signals (nature time) and reduce unnecessary non-native exposure, especially during sleep.Physiological effects discussed in studies: improved blood rheology (less RBC clumping), shifts in cortisol rhythm and HRV, reductions in pain and sleep disturbances.Why modern life disrupts it: rubber soles, synthetic floors, and high-rise livingBest outdoor practices: go barefoot on grass/soil/sand (great at sunrise!), beach walks, gardening, sitting on stone/earth, post-flight grounding, leather-soled shoes as a compromise.Moist natural surfaces conduct best.Indoor options and cautions when it comes to grounding mats and sheets.Dirty electricity concern: high-frequency transients on wiring or in soil can ride the ground; test and remediate electrical issues before relying on indoor grounding.Safety notes with thunderstorms or near energized equipment, with implanted electronics or complex medical devices.Start with 20–30 minutes daily outdoors; stack with circadian light (morning sun), movement on natural surfaces, and evening wind-down outsideUse an outlet tester and a body-voltage meter if experimenting indoors.Treat grounding as a low-risk, nature-based habit that pairs well with light, movement, hydration, and mineral balance; consider indoor gadgets optional and proceed only after due diligence.Resources Mentioned EMF canopyGroundies earthing shoesJustine Stenger's Mitochondrial Restoration ProgramDr. Courtney Hunt on Instagram
Are Eating Disorders Physiological or Psychological? The Answer Changes EverythingThis is a solo episode that shifts how you understand your eating disorder entirely.I'm diving deep into Tabitha Farrar's work on the migration response and exploring the question that everyone asks: is it biological or is it psychological? The honest answer is it's both. And understanding why changes how you recover.This episode is for you if:• You've wondered if your eating disorder is "real" because you don't have anorexia• You thought restriction should be easier and it wasn't (or it was, and then suddenly it wasn't)• You've struggled with the binge eating that came after restriction• You're stuck in restriction but your body won't cooperate anymore• You've done all the therapy and still can't stop the behaviours• You want to know why willpower doesn't work and what actually does• You're trying to understand if you just need to eat more or if you need psychological work tooIn this episode, we cover:✨ The migration response — why some people's bodies make restriction feel easy✨ The hibernation response — a different genetic physiological response to restriction✨ Why your metabolism might speed up or slow down when you restrict (it's genetic)✨ How the same person can find restriction easy, then nearly impossible (my personal story)✨ Why some people achieve extreme weight loss easily and others don't, even with severe restriction✨ The vicious feedback loop between biology and psychology in eating disorders✨ What eating disorders are really about beneath the desire to be thin✨ Why you restrict: acceptance, safety, validation, control, identity (it's always deeper)✨ Why therapy alone won't fix an eating disorder (and why weight restriction alone won't either)✨ Weight restoration isn't recovery — it's just the beginning✨ How your nervous system learns to treat weight gain as danger✨ Why you can't think your way out of what your body is experiencing✨ The neuro pathways that need to be rewired✨ Meeting the actual psychological needs your eating disorder was serving✨ Why somatic work (body work) is absolutely essential for recovery✨ The whole-picture approach: biology + psychology + nervous system + historyPowerful quotes from the episode:
The Root and Rise Podcast | Personal Growth, Motherhood, & Healing Trauma
The current political climate in the U.S. is heavy and many of us are feeling it in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of safety - even if we can't always put words to it. In this episode, I sit down with a licensed therapist to talk honestly about collective trauma - what it is, how it's different from personal trauma, and why witnessing violence, political unrest, and constant crisis through the news and social media can be so deeply activating. We explore how trauma impacts both the mind and the body, including anxiety, stress responses, overwhelm, and feelings of hopelessness.We also talk about what happens when you're repeatedly exposed to triggering videos or headlines, how political violence affects our nervous systems, and why social anxiety can feel heightened right now. She shares tools and therapeutic approaches to support healing during this time.So if you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep going when it doesn't feel like things are getting better, this episode is a reminder that your response makes sense and that healing is possible - especially when we do it together.
☁️This practice is one of my recent favorite breathing techniques for calming the nervous system quickly and effectively. The physiological sigh (also known as cyclic sighing) involves two inhales through the nose, followed by a slow extended exhale through the mouth. It's a simple yet powerful way to bring your body back into a state of regulation. This is a great practice if you're feeling anxious, overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just needing to come back into your body. Read more about Cyclic Sighing here. This breathwork practice is intended for educational and relaxation purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. If you have any respiratory, cardiovascular, or medical conditions, or if you experience dizziness, discomfort, or distress at any point, discontinue the practice and consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Our guest this episode is Jeff Zeilmann, calling in from Missouri. Jeff is the founder and lead investigator of Tracking The Unknown, an independent project focused on structured documentation and analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena. Jeff approaches the subject from an evidence-driven perspective, with a clear separation between observation and interpretation. That framework was put to the test in August 2025, when, during an active investigation, he experienced an encounter with an unidentified aerial object. The event was documented at the time and was followed by acute physiological and cognitive effects that lasted several days, as well as an estimated forty-five minutes of unaccounted-for time.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad-free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

Jeff approaches the subject from an evidence-driven perspective, with a clear separation between observation and interpretation. That framework was put to the test in August 2025, when, during an active investigation, he experienced an encounter with an unidentified aerial object. The event was documented at the time and was followed by acute physiological and cognitive effects that lasted several days, as well as an estimated forty-five minutes of unaccounted-for time.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad-free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.
“Last year, I came into the indoor season with the sole goal of breaking 3:50 in the mile… That was the big goal to tick off. I thought I'd maybe have a shot at running 3:48-high or 3:49-low to mid, so to run 3:47 actually surprised me quite a lot. This year, I feel like that's almost the expectation now. The standard has definitely been raised and the bar's been raised.”My guest for today's episode is Cameron Myers. Over the last three years, the world has gotten to know what Australia has known for a while – that something special has been coming. At just 19 years old, Cam ran 7:27 for 3000m to win the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, delivering the fastest 3K ever run by an Australian that's either indoors or outdoors. In the process, he broke national records held by Ky Robinson and Stewy McSweyn. He closed in 55.98 seconds over the last 400m and surged away from a world-class field with the kind of composure that you rarely see from a teenager. To put that performance into perspective, only three men in history have ever broken 7:28 before turning 20 years old. That's Eliud Kipchoge, Jacob Kiplimo, and Jakob Ingebrigtssen. That's the company that Cam Myers now keeps.He talks about that stat in our chat, but what makes Cam so compelling isn't just the time; it's the way that he talks about the sport. He's thoughtful, honest, and remarkably grounded for someone who's already climbing so high in the global ranks. In our conversation, he's open about the challenges that he's faced, including a recent medical setback that forced him to withdraw from the World Cross Country Championships. We also talk about his breakout race in Boston, why stacking training upon training has become his guiding principle, how he's learning to race to win instead of just hanging on. Plus, he'll be one of the stars of the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games this weekend after taking third place last year in a U20 mile world record of 3:47.We're speaking with Cam as part of his announcement that he has joined the Coros roster of professional athletes, which includes the likes of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Jess Hull, and Alex Yee. He shares a bit of his data-driven approach, but you can learn more if you read their blog post on him here.Cam is already rewriting record books and he's doing it with a long view of where his journey can go since he'll be one of the stars for Australia when they host the 2032 Olympic Games.____________Mentioned in this episode:COROS Blog Post - Cam Myers' Training: A Deep Dive____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Cam Myers | @camer0nmyers on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on Instagram____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a better-for-you soda that puts 6-9g of fiber in every single can.

Advanced skin treatments often underperform for a reason rarely addressed: regeneration cannot occur in a chronically stressed or under-resourced system. Elevated cortisol, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance weaken collagen signaling and tissue repair before any device, injectable, or modality has a chance to work.In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast, we sit down with Joe Radich from R3 Health to unpack why physiological preparation determines treatment outcomes. We explore how internal factors like stress, hormones, micronutrients, and metabolic health shape skin regeneration, and why modalities like peptides, hyperbaric oxygen, and exosomes only work as well as the system they're introduced into.Joe Radich is an NCCPA board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in regenerative medicine and the founder of R3 Health. He trains physicians and mid-level practitioners in stem cells, PRP, exosomes, and biohacking-based clinical protocols, with expertise spanning orthopedic, aesthetic, hair restoration, and regenerative applications.What's Discussed:(06:42) Why chronic stress and cortisol are silent drivers of visible skin aging(10:18) Preparing the body before skin treatments and why physiology determines outcomes(14:07) Why microneedling success depends on internal biology, not just technique(18:55) The most common lab patterns behind poor skin regeneration and chronic inflammation(24:31) Hormonal imbalance vs hormone deficiency and how both affect skin aging(33:41) GHK-Cu and peptides as signaling tools for connective tissue regeneration(38:09) Hyperbaric oxygen as a force multiplier for skin repair, recovery, and longevity(44:06) Exosomes and regenerative biologics and why sourcing and quality determine resultsFind more from Young Goose:VAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at www.younggoose.com Instagram: @young_goose_skincareWinter Skincare Protocol: https://www.younggoose.com/pages/winter-protocol Find more from Joe Radich (R3 Health):Website: https://josephradich.com, https://r3health.coInstagram: @joeradich_
Jacob och Wille öppnar upp avsnitt 533 av Tyngre Träningssnack med att diskutera en ny studie med titeln "The Influence of Menstrual Cycle Phase on the Physiological and Perceptual Responses to Low‐Intensity Continuous and High‐Intensity Interval Sessions in Endurance Trained Women: The FENDURA Project". I den har forskarna tittat på hur prestationen förändras under olika delar av menscykeln både vid intensiv intervallträning och lågintensiva långpass. Efter det diskuterar vi två lyssnarfrågor. Först ut blir det en genomgång kring så kallad antiinflammatorisk kost och om det har någon bevisad effekt mot så kallad inflammatoriska sjukdomar och autoimmuna sjukdomar. Efter det diskuteras hur man verkligen kan veta om man har ansträngt sig maximalt? På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt.

Most fitness businesses don't fail because of effort.They fail because the system was never designed to scale.If you're still:• “Trying harder”• Tweaking ads without structure• Relying on motivation instead of infrastructure…this video will expose exactly why that approach breaks.Inside this breakdown, we dismantle the biggest lie in the fitness industry:
Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

Veckans avsnitt av Tyngre Träningssnack handlar om dagens råd om fysisk aktivitet för hälsa. Vi utgår ifrån två artiklar som publicerats den senaste tiden som tagit upp just det här ämnet. Den första artikeln är en med titeln Is the answer for health always "more"?. Den artikeln fokuserar på om det finns några vinster med att göra mer än de rådande rekommendationerna och om dagens råd verkligen bör lägga så stor vikt vid progression som det gör idag. Den andra artikeln är Physiological basis for recommending changes to the physical activity guidelines. I den artikeln försöker forskarna argumentera för förändringar i dagens råd utifrån mer fysiologiska resonemang. Till exempel tycker de att man ska inkludera mer råd kring att inte vara helt stilla över längre tid och kring väldigt högintensiva intervaller. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt.

The post-holiday momentum hangover isn't imaginary, but it's also not a failure of discipline or motivation. What most people experience in January is a quiet loss of structure as routines, environments, and accountability systems loosen. This episode breaks down why momentum fades, how physiology and environment contribute to that drop, and what actually restores traction.

Most people think goal failure is a mindset issue, but the real constraint is often physiological. This episode reframes why we don't rise to our goals, we return to the baseline our nervous system has been conditioned to expect. I break down how predictive physiology, stress exposure, and environmental consistency shape metabolism, hormones, and behavior over time. Topics discussed: - Physiological baselines explained- Predictive nervous system- Stress conditioning patterns- Homeostasis versus optimization- Familiar stress responses- Environment over intensity
In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dan McGraw discusses the critical need for gender-specific medical training in military settings, drawing from personal experiences and extensive research. He highlights the disparities in treatment outcomes between male and female patients, the physiological differences that affect trauma care, and the cultural challenges faced by medical personnel when treating patients of the opposite sex. Through case studies and real-life scenarios, Dan emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences to improve survival rates and ensure equitable treatment for all service members.TakeawaysDan shares a personal story about losing a friend due to medical negligence.The importance of gender-specific medical training is emphasized.Research shows that female casualties have different treatment needs.Physiological differences between genders affect trauma care.Cultural challenges hinder effective medical response to female patients.Case studies reveal biases in treatment during emergencies.Medical errors often occur due to gender biases in treatment protocols.Training must address the discomfort of treating opposite genders.The military must adapt to increasing numbers of female service members.Future training programs need to incorporate gender-specific considerations.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Story02:57 The Importance of Gender-Specific Medical Training06:11 Research Findings on Female Casualties08:54 Physiological Differences in Trauma Treatment12:06 Cultural and Training Challenges in Medical Response15:08 Case Studies and Real-Life Scenarios18:07 Addressing Medical Errors and Gender Bias21:03 The Future of Gender-Inclusive Medical TrainingFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
Send us a textThe truth is out: If your clients are struggling with slow healing, relentless fatigue, or impaired milk production, the cold food in their diet is the root cause. For generations, reductionist nutrition dismissed the ancient, global wisdom of warming foods as mere cultural folklore. They were wrong. This episode is your urgent intervention, proving with hard science that ice water and cold cereal actively deplete the new mother's energy reserves, fueling everything from anxiety to postpartum depression.Maranda dives into the non-negotiable physiology—from digestive enzyme function to nervous system regulation—that proves traditional postpartum care systems (like TCM and Ayurveda) understood holistic health far better than modern medicine. Discover the concrete, scientific mechanisms that validate the Warming Foods Principle and learn how to integrate this critical postpartum nutrition strategy immediately, giving your clients the rapid, foundational recovery they deserve. It's time to stop letting modern convenience trump functional healing!Check out the episode on the blog HERE. Key time stamps: 00:30: The universal consensus: Traditional postpartum care systems across the globe mandate warm foods.04:15: Examples from TCM, Ayurveda, Latin American, African, and European traditions.11:47: Why modern medicine dismissed this ancient wisdom as superstition (reductionism, male-dominated science).19:50: Physiological mechanism 1: Cold food impairs digestive enzyme function at 98.6°F.21:20: Physiological mechanism 2: Cold causes vasoconstriction, impairing blood flow and nutrient absorption.23:45: Physiological mechanism 3: Cold forces metabolic energy expenditure (thermogenesis) the mother can't afford.26:38: Physiological mechanism 4: Cold activates sympathetic "fight or flight," warm supports parasympathetic "rest and digest."29:10: The role of warming spices (ginger, cinnamon, turmeric) in promoting gastric secretions.31:45: The link between warm foods, optimal blood flow, and robust milk production.34:23: Addressing objections: Hot climates and the difference between "refreshing" and "beneficial."36:50: The power of the Three Pillars of Knowledge (Science, Stories, Practice) for optimal perinatal health education.NEXT STEPS:
Birth is one of the most profound rites of passage a birthing person can experience — yet in modern culture, it is often shaped by fear, urgency, and medicalization rather than trust, presence, and reverence.In this deeply grounding episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, Clara is joined by midwife and mentor Anna Lundqvist of Sacred Birth International for a rich conversation about reclaiming birth as a physiological, sacred, and transformational experience. Together, they explore what happens when birth is left undisturbed, how fear biologically alters labor, and why presence may be one of the most powerful tools in the birth space.This episode is an invitation — to slow down, to trust the body's wisdom, and to remember birth not as something to be managed, but something to be honored.What You'll LearnWhat physiological birth truly means — and why it's more than just “unmedicated birth”How fear activates the nervous system and can slow or stall laborWhy oxytocin and endorphins thrive in safety, privacy, and emotional trustHow modern birth environments often trigger biological danger responsesBirth as a rite of passage — shedding one identity and stepping into anotherThe sacred art of space holding for doulas, midwives, and birth supportersWhy nervous system regulation is essential in the birth spaceDaily practices that support presence, intuition, and longevity in birth workHow home birth fits into the global birth safety conversationWhy every birth — including those involving intervention — can still be sacredResourcesTo learn more about Anna's work and her Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship, visit sacredbirthinternational.com or follow @sacredbirthinternational on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.***If these topics light you up, please rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you're listening.After you review the show - snap a pic and upload it here - and I'll send you 70 printable affirmation cards as a thank you.Your feedback helps this podcast grow, and I am so grateful for your support!

The Somatic Experience: How the Body Stores Trauma and the Path to Physiological Healing In this powerful episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, explore the essential connection between trauma, physiology, and healing through a somatic lens. Drawing on the work of Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Deb Dana, and polyvagal theory, they highlight how trauma is not only a psychological experience but a physical one stored in the muscles, nervous system, and internal energy of the body. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn discuss why individuals—especially betrayed partners—often disconnect from their bodies after chronic stress, betrayal trauma, or overwhelming life experiences. They examine how fight, flight, and freeze responses affect the nervous system, how chronic cortisol disrupts mood and metabolism, and why many trauma survivors struggle to sense or interpret their own physiological cues. Through stories, research, and lived experiences, the hosts illustrate how the body keeps the score and how healing requires learning to listen to internal sensations rather than pushing them aside. They offer practical tools such as somatic tracking, Peter Levine's completion techniques, trauma-informed yoga, breathing exercises that access the vagus nerve, and movement-based approaches for releasing stored energy. The episode includes a guided somatic check-in where listeners rate their tension level and are invited into a simple three-minute breathing practice designed to lower physiological arousal. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn also normalize the experience of increased anxiety during quiet moments and suggest alternative vagus nerve–based exercises and sound-based practices (like the “vu” exhale) to support regulation. They close by emphasizing self-compassion, intentionality, and noticing “glimmers” of safety as signs that the body is returning to calm. Listeners are also invited to deepen their healing journey by attending the 2nd Annual Human Intimacy Conference, where leading experts will share tools for recovering from sexual betrayal, infidelity, and building deeper, safer relationships.

We all experience some level of stress in daily life. Pregnancy can be a period of additional stress as you are experiencing many physical changes and symptoms, and are mentally preparing for birth and a new baby. In a sense, everything you expose yourself to during pregnancy can also affect your baby, and stress is not an exception. Physiological changes that occur when you are stressed can affect your developing baby, and high levels of stress may increase the risk of certain complications. The extent to which you and your baby are affected depends on your stress response and your ability to turn it off. The good news is that by understanding your stress response and learning evidence-based ways to manage it, you can reduce negative effects and support both your well-being and your baby's healthy development.

In this solosode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike unveils the most comprehensive update yet to BioLight's flagship supplement — BioBlue — and takes listeners deep inside the quantum bioenergetic thinking that shaped its redesign. What began as a methylene-blue-based mitochondrial catalyst has evolved into a next-generation longevity systemintegrating deuterium-depleted water, elevated NMN, taurine, and trace gold-silver resonance compounds. Dr. Mike breaks down the science and reasoning behind each refinement: why Litewater's 10 ppm deuterium-depleted water now forms the clean matrix for all BioBlue liquids, how NMN has been increased ten-fold (10 mg → 100 mg) to meaningfully expand NAD⁺ pools and drive biogenesis, and how taurine stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and calcium signaling for endurance and resilience. He explains the subtle yet powerful tweaks — like a 50 % increase in colloidal gold and silver and a 40 % reduction in fulvic acid — that sharpen redox coherence and enhance longevity signaling. Dr. Mike dives into: Overview of how BioBlue progressed from a simple methylene-blue solution to a full mitochondrial optimization system. Why all BioBlue liquids now utilizes Litewater for cleaner proton flow and improved ATP efficiency. Why NMN increased from 10 mg → 100 mg per dose to meaningfully raise NAD⁺ levels, drive biogenesis, and enhance DNA repair. Why the addition of Taurine – 100 mg per serving for membrane stability, calcium regulation, and long-term mitochondrial resilience. Enhanced Trace Elements – 50 % more colloidal gold & silver plus refined fulvic acid for smoother redox flow and higher photodynamic efficiency. This episode isn't just about formulation — it's about why every molecule matters in the pursuit of mitochondrial efficiency, redox stability, and long-term cellular youthfulness. Mike also previews BioLight's upcoming new website, pre-Black-Friday event, and a soon-to-launch BioBlue Lite product line for those seeking simplicity without compromise. Key Topics Covered Evolution of BioBlue — from the original methylene blue + NMN formula to a comprehensive mitochondrial optimization system. Integration of Deuterium-Depleted Water (Litewater, 10 ppm) — explanation of how lowering deuterium enhances ATP production, redox efficiency, and longevity potential. NMN Upgrade (10× Increase) — new 100 mg per serving dosage for boosting NAD⁺ levels, mitochondrial biogenesis, DNA repair, and energy metabolism. Addition of Taurine (100 mg per serving) — supports membrane integrity, calcium balance, ROS buffering, and cellular longevity signaling. Enhanced Colloidal Gold & Silver (50 % Increase) — improved redox stability, electron flow, and photodynamic synergy with methylene blue and red light. Refined Wu Jin Sun Fulvic Acid (−40 %) — optimizes redox balance and mineral transport while improving synergy between all active compounds. Comprehensive Mitochondrial Benefits — improved ATP efficiency, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis for cleaner, more resilient energy production. New Product Lineup — introduction of BioBlue Lite and BioBlue Leuco Lite (simplified methylene blue + water versions) for accessible mitochondrial support. Key Quotes from Dr. Mike “Deuterium-depleted water doesn't just make the mitochondria go faster—it helps them run truer, cleaner, and more efficiently.” “We've moved BioBlue from a trace metabolic nudge to a real mitochondrial optimization protocol that supports redox cycling, biogenesis, and longevity pathways in a quantifiable way.” “Taurine turns BioBlue from a fast-acting energy compound into a cellular longevity stack—supporting repair, recycling, and resilience.” “By increasing colloidal gold and silver within their optimal bio-signal zones, BioBlue transforms from a chemical redox supplement into a biophysical energy transducer.” “Each change — from Litewater to taurine — was made to help your mitochondria run longer, cleaner, and more accurately. This is longevity through bioenergetics.” Episode Timeline 00:00 – Announcements: Pre-Black Friday + new website 04:00 – The origin of BioBlue and its evolution 10:00 – Introducing the upgraded BioBlue formula 11:00 – Why BioLight partnered with Light Water 12:00 – How deuterium slows mitochondrial ATP production 17:00 – Functional benefits of deuterium-depleted water 19:00 – 10x increase in NMN for energy and repair 27:00 – Synergy between NMN and methylene blue 30:00 – Adding taurine for stability and longevity 39:00 – Increasing colloidal gold for photonic synergy 46:00 – Boosting colloidal silver for redox protection 52:00 – Why lowering fulvic acid improves coherence 56:00 – What's next: BioBlue Light + legacy pricing offer 01:02:00 – Dr. Mike's closing thoughts on mitochondrial optimization Resources & References Deuterium Depletion and Mitochondrial Efficiency Boros, L.

Quinn unpacks how the nervous system asks one question all day—Am I safe?—and why fight/flight/freeze/fawn are wise survival patterns (not personal failures). You'll learn fast, gentle regulation tools (physiological sigh, orienting, butterfly hug, vagal “voo”/humming), see them in action via pop-culture and literature examples, and leave with a 7-day plan to widen your window of tolerance. The aim: move from bracing for impact to breathing easier—then building a calmer, safer life you actually enjoy living in.What You'll LearnEmbodiment = biology: Your body is a home to be tended, not a problem to fix (Hillary McBride).Survival patterns are smart: Fight/flight/freeze/fawn kept you safe; now we teach your body new safety.Complete the stress cycle: Don't power through—release (Levine): breathe, shake, sigh, settle.Co-regulation matters: Calm spreads person-to-person (think Ted Lasso).Fast Practices (Try Today)Physiological sigh (20–30s): Inhale → tiny top-up inhale → long slow exhale (2–3x).Orienting (30–60s): Turn head, name 5 things you see, 4 touch, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste.Butterfly hug (60s): Cross arms, alternate taps L/R while breathing slowly.Vagal “voo” or hum (45s): Inhale, long chest-vibrating “voo” (or hum) 2–3x.Pop Culture & Lit MirrorsInside Out 2: Anxiety tries to control everything → name it, breathe, integrate (not exile).Ted Lasso: Panic softens via breath + safe people (co-regulation).The Bear: Unfinished cycles = alarms (tight jaw, shallow breath); the body keeps score.Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God: Janie's embodied “yes/no” as sovereignty.Mary Oliver, “Wild Geese”: “Let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”Mini Playbook for Divorced LifeText from ex detonates: 1 physiological sigh + orient; reply later from safety.First date freeze: Bathroom → butterfly hug 60s → decide from regulation.Co-parenting flare: Hand to heart + “voo” twice → This is my boundary. Lonely Saturday: 5-minute sensory walk → call a safe friend/pet time.7-Day Nervous System PlanMorning (1 min): Physiological sigh ×3 or butterfly hug.Mid-day (30s): Orienting—name 5 things you see.Evening (2 min): Gentle shake-out + humming/“voo.”Connection (3 min): Text/call a safe friend or sit quietly with a pet.Boundary rep (one line): “I'll need to think about that and get back to you.”Quotable“Our bodies are not problems to be solved; they are homes to be tended.” — Hillary McBride“Trauma isn't in the event, it's in the nervous system.” — inspired by Peter Levine“You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” — Mary OliverResources MentionedHillary McBride — The Wisdom of Your BodyPeter Levine — Waking the Tiger (Somatic Experiencing)Deirdre Fay — Becoming Safely EmbodiedContent NoteMentions of religious conditioning, sexual coercion, panic/anxiety.

Today I chat with Sophie, a clinical psychologist and mother of two who runs her own practice, Nimble Minds Clinical Psychology, in Sydney's Sutherland Shire. Sophie shares her journey from a 10-month conception period during COVID lockdowns to two incredibly positive birth experiences at the Royal Hospital for Women. Her first birth with daughter Charlotte (Lottie) was a beautifully managed hospital birth, whilst her second pregnancy brought the surprise of a 4.6kg baby boy, Henry, and initial plans for a home birth that ultimately led to another wonderful hospital experience. Sophie's story is particularly valuable for expectant mothers as she navigates the mental preparation for birth through her professional lens whilst experiencing the raw emotions of becoming a mother herself.Connect with us:Instagram @australianbirthstoriesTikTok @australianbirthstoriesWebsite australianbirthstories.com Hosted on Acast.

Tamsyn shares her journey from first-time mum to birthing fraternal twins vaginaly at 40+6 weeks. After experiencing a medicalised first birth with Maya during COVID lockdowns, Tamsyn was determined to achieve the physiological birth she envisaged for her twins. Despite facing significant pressure from hospital staff to accept routine interventions, Tamsyn's story demonstrates the importance of having strong support people and trusting your body's ability to birth. With the guidance of her private midwife Helen and support person Shelly (a midwife and family friend), Tamsyn navigated challenging conversations with obstetricians and ultimately achieved her dream birth - birthing both babies naturally within 10 minutes of each other after just 90 minutes in hospital.Prepare for your birth with our courses and products, The Birth ClassThe Caesarean Birth ClassWelcome to the First Trimester Hosted on Acast.
