In this encore episode, we detail the structure of the intestinal mucosal barrier alongside central roles that zinc plays in supporting various aspects of mucosal barrier integrity. We discuss key anatomical features, including the mucus layer, epithelial cells, and tight junctions, as well as detail zinc's physiological roles, its relationship with copper, and factors that can affect zinc levels. The discussion further details zinc levels, zinc absorption, and specialized forms of zinc, such as zinc carnosine.Topics:1. Introduction - Overview of intestinal barrier anatomy- Highlighting the role of zinc 2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - Four major layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa- Mucosa subdivisions; focus on epithelium  3. The Mucus Layer  - Location over the epithelial surface- Composition: mucin-rich, secreted by goblet cells- Goblet cell mucin storage and expansion upon hydration- Functions: trapping pathogens, lubricating epithelium, housing molecules including secretory IgA- Small intestine mucus - Large intestine mucus 4. The Intestinal Epithelium - Monolayer of epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, and more- Tight junctions, paracellular transport - Continuous epithelial renewal 5. Introduction to Zinc - Zinc as a trace mineral required in minute quantities for numerous physiological processes - Second most abundant trace mineral after iron; majority stored in muscle and bone- Maintaining plasma and intracellular zinc concentrations within narrow range- Both deficiency and excess can disrupt biochemical processes 6. Zinc and Copper  - Zinc and copper as closely interconnected minerals- Zinc, copper, and metallothionein binding in enterocytes- Both high and low zinc can disrupt zinc-copper balance- Metallothionein as a cysteine-rich metal-binding protein  7. Factors Affecting Zinc Levels  - Multifactorial- Possible signs of low zinc status 8. Zinc Absorption  - Dietary sources- Primary absorption in small intestine - In the stomach: HCl and pepsin denature proteins and cleave peptide bonds, releasing zinc from protein complexes- Dietary zinc often bound within tertiary protein structure- Specialized transporters  9. Zinc's Role in the Intestinal Barrier  - Zinc and tight junction proteins- Zinc and Intestinal Epithelial Cells - Zinc and the mucus layer 10. Broader Context of Zinc in Physiology   11.

When a ten-day head cold and a client's second hip surgery both landed on my radar the same week, the question of motivation hit differently. How do you fire yourself up when life pulls you down? I've been building this around a simple idea — life begins when you move. And over 20 years, that's gone way deeper than the gym. When you can't do what you want to do, frustration builds fast. That's the signal. The good news? Motivation isn't fleeting. It's renewable. And once you know your triggers, you can flip the switch anytime you need it. Featured Story Paula has been a client of mine for almost 20 years. She just had her second hip done seven days ago, and there she was on our Inner Circle video call — same chair, same smile, same fire. What came up wasn't pain. It was frustration. Not being able to do what she wanted was the hard part. I've been feeling that too. Ten days with a head cold will do that to you. And it reminded me that this feeling — the one that comes when life slows you down — is actually the signal that your motivation is still alive. You just need the right trigger to fire it back up. Important Points Motivation isn't some exhaustible resource — you can renew your supply anytime once you know your personal triggers. Your physiology runs the show — move your body first, and everything about your mental state follows right after. Focus isn't really your problem — you're already focused on something right now, just probably not the right thing. Memorable Quotes Actions always precede change — change has never once preceded the action, no matter how long you sit with the idea. Physiology dictates your feelings — move your body, and your entire world instantly starts to shift right along with it. Focus is like a decision — when you truly make one, you literally cut off every other option that was available to you. Scott's Three-Step Approach Move your body first — even a few push-ups will shift your state fast and break you right out of any kind of slump. Lock your focus onto the things that genuinely fire you up, and start cutting out everything that drains you right now. Swap out negative self-talk for words that point forward — the language inside your head creates everything you feel.

Newly-minted Nobel laureate Fred Ramsdell joins Claudia to discuss his groundbreaking work on regulatory T cells, which act as the immune system's natural "brakes." His research aims to "reset" the immune system to cure autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis and MS) moving beyond mere symptom management. Fred reflects on his new role as a science advocate, addressing the crisis of public trust in science and the need for greater diversity in biomedical research.During this conversation, recorded at the UC Berkeley/JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in Taipei, Claudia and Fred discuss:How Fred missed the Nobel Prize call while off-grid campingHis shifting goals in retirement post Nobel winWhy he chose biotech: collaboration, speed, and being "wrong fast"The deeper threat to science: funding vs. trust, and his surprise in SwedenFred says he's excited to see what other advances are possible in what he calls “the early innings” of scientific discovery:“As humans, we're really good at solving technological problems. If we know what the problem is, historically, we're pretty good at figuring out an answer. [We're] pretty confident now that we know the problem in peripheral tolerance, that is the breakdown of our immune system recognizing our own tissues. Now we know what at least part of that problem is, we'll be able to engineer our way into a solution.”Relevant LinksSee more about Fred's Nobel win and read the UCLA press releaseFred's Nobel prize lectureSee Fred and his co-laureates accept their prizeRead more about Fred's 2025 co-laureates Mary E.

“I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms” writes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of the HHS. “Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals… If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms… The consequences would be disastrous.” MAHA is split over Kennedy's statement explaining President Trump's recent support for Bayer and their product Roundup (originally from Monsanto). Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is an herbicide that has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was labeled “probably carcinogenic” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and is the subject of thousands of lawsuits. It is the most-used weedkiller in history. Remi Adeleke is a former Navy SEAL, filmmaker, and author.

Your thoughts are not facts, but your brain is really good at convincing you otherwise.Irrational thinking and negative thought patterns are something every one of us deals with, but few of us are taught how to actually manage them. In this episode, we dig into the practical side of mental health and emotional resilience — how to separate your thoughts from reality, why your physiology has more influence over your mindset than you think, and why naming your emotions is one of the most underrated self-improvement tools available to you. If mindfulness feels too abstract and you want real strategies for managing negative thoughts and building mental resilience, this one is for you.In this episode you'll discover: - Differentiating thoughts from reality- Impact of physiology on thinking- Level setting expectations- Getting comfortable with discomfortYour takeaways: - You can't believe everything you think, especially in negative spirals.- Physiology influences mental clarity; rest and recovery are essential.- Naming feelings helps identify root causes of irrational thoughts.- Realistic expectations prevent unnecessary mental spirals.- Movement and action can break patterns of negative thinking.- Embracing discomfort is key to growth and resilience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Managing Irrational Thinking01:10 Understanding Irrational Thinking02:57 Physiology and Its Impact on Thought05:42 Identifying and Naming Emotions07:58 Setting Realistic Expectations10:25 The Power of Movement and DiscomfortResources mentioned: Next Level Nutrition Health Coaching Program---------

Why Female Physiology Still Needs Greater Attention in Sport with Dr Candice Macmillan This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, host Richard Graves welcomes Dr Candice Macmillan, Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University, for an important and often under-discussed conversation around female athlete health and hormonal contraception. As women's sport continues to grow professionally around the world, understanding the unique physiological considerations of female athletes has never been more important. Yet many practitioners still feel underprepared when supporting athletes through topics such as the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraceptives, and their potential implications for performance, wellbeing, and decision-making. Drawing on her background as a sports physiotherapist, researcher, and academic, Dr Macmillan explores how practitioners can better support female athletes through education, communication, and evidence-based decision making. The conversation covers the complexity of hormonal contraceptives, how different types influence physiology and behaviour, and why awareness of factors such as testosterone suppression and symptom tracking may be crucial for athletes and support staff alike. Perhaps most importantly, Dr Macmillan explains why empowering athletes to ask the right questions about their own health may be one of the most powerful tools practitioners can provide. This episode offers valuable insights for sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, and performance staff working across elite sport — while also opening up a conversation that continues to shape the future of female athlete support systems. In This Episode You Will Learn Why female athlete health remains one of the most misunderstood areas in elite sport The difference between hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives Why the contraceptive pill is not a single solution and varies widely in composition How hormonal contraceptives can influence testosterone levels and athlete behaviour Why symptoms may impact performance more than hormone levels themselves The importance of tracking menstrual symptoms for informed medical decisions Why practitioners must help athletes learn the language to describe how they feel The role communication plays between athletes, coaches and medical staff How policy and education are shaping the future of female athlete support in sport About Dr Candice Macmillan Dr Candice Macmillan is the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Marquette University and a sports physiotherapist with a PhD in Sports Physiotherapy. Her work focuses on injury prevention, athlete health, and female athlete performance. Dr Macmillan's research explores the intersection of biomechanics, hormonal influences, and performance outcomes in women's sport. She leads research initiatives investigating female athlete physiology and is actively involved in advancing education and awareness around female athlete health. Her work aims to bridge the gap between research and applied practice so practitioners can better support athletes in real-world performance environments.

Mary welcomes Melissa Huray to the podcast to talk about true freedom in Christ. Melissa has dedicated the last 15 years to helping people with addictions find freedom through Jesus Christ. She is an Emmy award winning news reporter and anchor, and an addiction counselor with a Masters in Physiology. She is the Executive Director at the Lindell Recovery Network. Her books include Blackout to Blessing and Radical Freedom. She also hosts the Hope Report podcast. Today we look at her testimony of a dysfunctional family and the emptiness she felt as a youth. The deadly cost of gambling on alcohol’s temporary relief brought multiple arrests, harrowing car crashes, and many attempts to quit. She couldn’t save herself – but ultimately put her trust in the One who could set her free from all the pain. God has used her mightily and we talk about a God Who uses our darkest seasons to bring light to others.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Send a textWhat if calm isn't something you find after life settles… but something you practice while everything still feels loud, uncertain, and full? In this episode, I invite you into a deeply real reflection on stress, emotional weight, and the quiet moments of beauty that often go unnoticed in our busiest seasons. From stormy mornings by the water to the science of nervous system regulation and the Stoic wisdom of inner steadiness, this conversation gently challenges the idea that life must be peaceful before we allow ourselves to feel peace. If you've been carrying a lot lately — mentally, emotionally, or physically — this episode is a soft place to land, a reminder that even in the middle of chaos, there are small glimmers of calm waiting to be noticed.Quote of the week:“You have power over your mind — not outside events.

Are you hitting your protein targets, training 5 days a week, and avoiding gluten, dairy, and sugar yet you’re still dealing with crippling bloating and unpredictable digestion? If you’ve spent more time worrying about your food than enjoying it, this episode is a major "pattern interrupt." Today, we’re discussing an uncomfortable truth: for many active women, gut issues aren’t happening despite a healthy lifestyle they’re happening because of how restrictive that lifestyle has become. We’re unpacking the "Healthy Girl" identity trap and how food anxiety is fueling your IBS, not fixing it. In this episode, we dive into: The "Healthy Girl" Identity Trap: How the shift from caring about your body to obsessive label reading and social isolation creates a state of chronic "food fear." The Physiology of Food Anxiety: Why eating a "perfect" meal in a stressed, sympathetic state (fight or flight) guaranteed drops in stomach acid and enzyme output. Under-Eating & Over-Training: How low fuel and high cortisol send your body into conservation mode, leading to constipation, reflux, and poor motility. The Restriction-Binge-Bloat Cycle: Why your gut isn’t "broken" when you eat off-plan; it’s simply reacting to the extremes of famine and punishment. Redefining Health: Why real recovery for the active woman often requires eating more, training smarter, and letting go of perfection to let the nervous system feel safe. Sometimes the most "functional medicine" thing you can do isn't another supplement or a stricter diet it’s healing your relationship with food. Your gut isn't asking for more rules; it's asking for nourishment and safety. P.S. If you’re an active woman who is done micromanaging every bite but is still bloated, let’s find out what is actually driving your symptoms.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about what happens when first responders are physically exhausted but mentally unable to sleep (Amazon Affiliate). Not the occasional restless night, but the chronic state of being wired, alert, and unable to fully shut down even in safe, quiet environments. This is the kind of sleep disruption that develops from years of hypervigilance, rotating shifts, and repeated exposure to critical incidents. The body may be in bed, but the brain is still scanning, replaying calls, running scenarios, and staying prepared for threat long after the shift has ended.

This conversation explores workplace bullying through a lens that goes far deeper than behavior. We examine the physiology of harm, the nervous system impact of chronic workplace stress, and how leadership either contributes to trauma or actively prevents it. Liza Collins is a trauma preventative leadership coach, consultant, and number one best selling author of The Physiology of Bullying. With more than three decades of experience across healthcare systems in the UK and internationally, her work bridges lived experience, neuroscience, and relational leadership practice. In this episode, we explore: • What chronic workplace harm does to the nervous system • How bullying reshapes identity, health, and self trust • The difference between surviving a toxic system and restoring agency • Why leadership responsibility extends beyond performance metrics • What trauma preventative leadership actually looks like in practice This conversation moves beyond surface level discussions about difficult personalities. It addresses power, safety, and the biological cost of sustained psychological threat. For anyone navigating workplace harm, leading teams, or building cultures of psychological safety, this episode offers insight, clarity, and grounded perspective.

The episode explains how pole dancers can get stronger using progressive overload, defined as gradually increasing training stress so the body adapts during rest and the same demands become easier over time. It outlines adaptation timelines: neurological and cardiovascular changes can occur quickly (sometimes within a session for neuro drills), noticeable strength gains typically appear after about 3–6 weeks, connective tissue (tendons/ligaments) adapts around the 3-month mark, and bone density changes occur closer to 6 months. Rosy emphasizes easing back into training—especially after a break or postpartum—avoiding self-punishment, and prioritizing rest because adaptation happens during recovery. It describes ways to increase load for pole and bodyweight training: increase training frequency while keeping at least 1–2 rest days per week, increase repetitions, use time-based conditioning like a “pole treadmill” (repeated climbs/descents for time), increase resistance via weights/bands or by selecting harder bodyweight progressions, and use isometrics by holding longer or increasing tension. It notes that muscle damage is not necessarily required for positive adaptation and references Felipe Damas' work (primarily in hypertrophy research), while clarifying the focus is strength training rather than bodybuilding. The episode also explains that the body responds to chronic life stress similarly to training stress, which can hinder strength gains, and encourages stress reduction and enjoyable movement.Citations:SELYE H.

In this episode of Punk Therapy, Dr. T and Truth Fairy open the year by exploring the concept of body set and its relevance to psychedelic therapy and medicine-assisted healing. Drawing on recent research and clinical observations, they expand the framework of set and setting to include the physiological state of the body as a critical part of how psychedelic medicine is received and processed. The conversation examines biomarkers such as autonomic nervous system tone and overall physiological resilience, while placing these factors within a broader trauma-informed context. The episode emphasizes that psychedelic experiences do not occur in isolation from the body, but interact with existing patterns of stress, survival, and adaptation.Truth Fairy brings a deeply somatic and relational perspective to the discussion, challenging purely biomedical interpretations of body set by highlighting interoception, attachment history, and developmental trauma. She explains how early disruptions in care shape a person's capacity for self-regulation and self-care, and how these patterns show up in preparation for and during psychedelic work. Through clinical examples, she illustrates how subtle somatic practices, movement, touch, and nervous system-oriented interventions can help clients come out of chronic contraction, freeze, or hypervigilance before a medicine session. Dr. T and Truth Fairy situate body set within an ethical and relational model of psychedelic therapy that prioritizes co-regulation and humility. They question outcome-driven approaches that seek peak experiences, instead focusing on an orientation toward optimal arousal, embodied presence, and collective nervous system regulation, particularly in group settings. They offer clinicians, facilitators, and researchers a nuanced framework for understanding how trauma, physiology, and relational safety intersect in psychedelic healing. The evolving science of psychedelic medicines necessarily includes trauma-informed psychedelic therapy, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and ethical facilitation. “We can't just prepare the mind, and we can't just prepare the setting. You actually have to prepare the physiology of the body to receive medicine. Psychedelics affect our physiology. They can throw us into sympathetic arousal, so the question becomes how do we get the body ready to receive something that is already going to amplify what's there.”  - Truth Fairy__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Buttons chose her Kesem name inspired by her favorite movie,Coraline. She resonates deeply with Coraline's resilience—and her stubborn determination to keep going. Buttons is currently in her final year at CSULBand will graduate with a bachelor's degree in Cell & Molecular Biology and Physiology, with a minor in Chemistry. After graduation, she hopes to take a gap year and then apply to PA (Physician Assistant) school.   Biscuit chose her camp name because it was the sweetestnickname her beloved late husband used to call her—a way to keep his memory close and alive. She has worked for the past 14 years as a Patient Care Assistant in the Labor and Delivery Department at a hospital in Long Beach, California. She is currently completing her nursing prerequisites at Rio HondoCollege in Whittier, CA, with hopes of applying to a nursing program next year.Biscuit is also a Camper parent with Camp Kesem at CSULB and continues to support the community alongside student leaders.   In this conversation, they share the personal stories behindtheir Kesem names, what brought them to Kesem, and the heart behind supporting kids and student leaders through this meaningful mission.

Many people are saying the same thing lately: “I'm overwhelmed by everything.”In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores what overwhelm actually is from a neuroscience perspective. Is it just busyness? Or is something deeper happening in the brain?Drawing from research on the amygdala, stress hormones, working memory, and executive function, Molly explains how overwhelm is not about volume alone. It is about perceived overload and a loss of prioritization. When the brain detects too many competing demands and not enough resources, it shifts from organizing to alarming.This episode also revisits a recent WisdomWednesday quote about replacing “I'm overwhelmed” with “I need to decide what matters most and go slow.” Molly clarifies why that statement is directionally true but not neurologically instant. She explains how language influences prediction, prediction shapes physiology, and physiology drives behavior.What You'll LearnWhy overwhelm is a perception of overload, not simply busynessHow the amygdala flags cognitive threatWhat happens to the prefrontal cortex under stressWhy everything feels urgent when executive function is compromisedThe difference between descriptive and prescriptive thoughtsHow repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces neural prediction loopsWhy prioritization restores cognitive flexibilityHow cognitive reappraisal shifts neural activity over timeKey Concepts ExplainedPerceived Overload Overwhelm occurs when the brain interprets demands as exceeding available resources.Amygdala Activation When ambiguity, uncertainty, and competing priorities rise, the amygdala signals threat, increasing stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine.Executive Function The prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning, sequencing, prioritizing, and organizing. Under stress, its efficiency decreases.Descriptive vs Prescriptive Thinking Some thoughts label experience. Others shape future experience. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces prediction patterns that sustain the feeling.Cognitive Reappraisal Research shows that reinterpreting a situation increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time.Why Language MattersWhen you repeatedly say “I'm overwhelmed,” your brain begins scanning for confirming evidence. Increased vigilance raises stress. Stress reduces clarity. Reduced clarity reinforces overwhelm.Replacing that statement with a prioritizing phrase does not instantly shut down the alarm system. However, it recruits executive function and begins shifting neural activity toward organization and task-based thinking.Language guides prediction. Prediction guides physiology. Physiology guides behavior.Practical ReframeInstead of:“I'm overwhelmed.”Try:What matters most today?What is the next smallest step?What can wait?This is not positive thinking. It is restoring organizing capacity.Overwhelm signals that prioritization has collapsed. Prioritization is a skill that can be strengthened.Behavior Change ConnectionPeople often abandon habits when they feel overwhelmed, not because they lack discipline, but because executive function is compromised.You cannot build new neural pathways from a chronically alarmed state.Restoring order supports follow-through. ★ Support this podcast ★

Burnout isn't just mental. It's not laziness. It's not a mindset problem. It's physiological. In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Gaines, Director of Education at Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) and a Functional Wellness Practitioner specializing in burnout recovery. Before stepping into the functional health space, Elizabeth spent over a decade working in nonprofit trauma recovery, supporting victims of domestic minor sex trafficking. The relentless pace, emotional intensity, and lack of boundaries eventually led her into full-blown burnout and chronic fatigue. When conventional medicine dismissed her symptoms as "normal" or emotional, she turned to functional lab testing. Through FDN's data-driven approach, she uncovered hidden dysfunction, rebuilt her health, and now trains practitioners around the world to do the same. In this conversation, we unpack the hidden physiology of burnout — what's really happening inside your body when you can't "push through" anymore. What You'll Learn in This Episode The difference between stress and true burnout Why your labs can look "normal" while you feel exhausted How chronic stress impacts hormones and motivation The role of sympathetic vs. parasympathetic balance Why productivity culture fuels depletion When it's time to test instead of guess Connect with Elizabeth & FDN Website: https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fdntraining/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FunctionalDiagnosticNutrition/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7xDnEKCe9gKeWZ2vbE3C8w Burnout isn't your fault — but healing it is your responsibility, and this episode will show you where to begin.

Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Show NotesOn the Spotlight this week, we wrap up the Australian Open where dramatic semi finals saw Alcaraz overcome cramp (to Zverev's dismay), Djokovic overcome Sinner (to Ross' prediction dismay), and then Alcaraz overpower Djokovic to win a career Grand Slam. Elana Rybakina won the women's title, powered by a dominant serve and a few harsh, but helpful words from her coach.Then it's a concussion and head injury discussion, with a Spotlight on football and rugby. Should young children be tackling and heading a football? We explore those debates and discover that bans and delays don't play out quite the same way in the two sports, but that many unanswered questions remain. A recent paper by Ross and some colleagues finds that rugby players wearing headgear are more likely to suffer injuries than those not wearing headgear. An odd finding, but confounded by history and bias, as a lesson for how research limitations play out.And finally, does Karsten Blummenfelt really have a VO2max of 101 ml/kg/min? The Norwegian triathlete published that number earlier in the week, and it was met with skepticism bordering on ridicule. We discuss why the number isn't physiologically believable, what it means, and how errors in measurement might occur.Finally finally, if you enjoy the show and want to show your support, then become a Supporter with a small monthly donation, and you'll also get access to our Community Chat, and, as discussed in this show, upcoming Live Event Coverage.LinksThe Contact Conundrum: Are We Introducing Contact at the Correct Time in Youth Sports?Wearing Regulation Soft-Padded Headgear Does Not Reduce the Risk of Head Injuries in Professional Men's Rugby Players: An Observational Cohort StudyThe Spennymoor Heading Trial ArticleArticle on Bulmenfelts 101 VO2max Hosted on Acast.

Healing is often framed through the lens of heroic breakthroughs, peak experiences, and emotional catharsis, but this episode centers a steadier path. Many modern healing trends—amplified by social media and the promise of instant transformation—can quietly deplete the body, especially for women, leading to every day burnout, long-term exhaustion, and chronic illness. Rather than bypassing the physical, we return to the essentials, recognizing that illness for modern women is often rooted in chronic stress and physiological depletion- not the lack of spiritual epiphanies or endless emotional processing.  I'm joined today by women's health expert and mineral balancing practitioner Sena Shellenberger, who brings grounded clarity to what true, lasting healing requires, helping us understand the body's intelligent responses to modern life and offering a vision of healing that is slow, nourishing, and sustainable.

If you wake up when it's still dark, you know how overwhelming it can be to turn on the light. Your eyes may even hurt at first. If you've had this experience, you can understand one of the problems that had to be solved when radar was developed.Basically, radar is made up of two parts. The transmitter sends out a powerful beam of radar waves. But the other part of the radar system is a very sensitive receiver that cannot stand the powerful outgoing signal. One of the major technical problems to be overcome in developing modern radar involved sending out this powerful signal without overwhelming the sensitive receiver. What scientists finally developed was a fast switch that turns the sensitive receiver off every time a radar pulse is sent out.Bats, who have their own sonic radar, had this problem solved from the beginning. They have muscles in their ears that are the receivers for the echoes. These muscles close the ears for split seconds when the bats are sending out their high pitched signals.Without this feature, the bat's navigational system would be useless. How could a bat figure out that it needed this ability and then decide to grow the muscles and related tissue to do the job? When one decides to say that creatures, instead of the Creator, have made themselves, one can end up with some very silly conclusions!Matthew 6:27-29"Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."Prayer: Dear Father; You have made all things well and with the good of the creation in mind. Help me to remember this when I tend to think of Your Word as separated from the realities of everyday life, thereby missing out on so many of the blessings You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name.

Should women think differently about training and weightlifting when they're pregnant and post-partum? In this episode, Olympian Shannon Rowbury and her physical therapist Jessica Dorrington explain the specific training needs of pregnant and post-partum women, including:  Exercise that's advised vs. not recommended How to modify training as pregnancy evolves The role of strength training during pregnancy Post-partum recovery strategies How to prepare for perimenopause through training Their new book, Strong as a Mother, is also available to preorder! Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

What if your purpose isn't something you need to find, but something you need to remember? In this wide-ranging, eye-opening episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Simon Sinek reveals why fulfillment, optimism, and meaning don't come from chasing success, titles, or external validation, but from looking inward. As technology and AI reshape work, relationships, and identity, Simon explains why understanding your WHY is more important than ever, and how leaning into timeless human skills can help you thrive in a rapidly changing world. Simon goes far beyond leadership theory and gets deeply human. He breaks down: - Why who you are and what you're meant to do may already be inside you, shaped by your values, DNA, and life journey - How to think about identity beyond job titles and surface-level roles - Why your passions, frustrations, and questions about the world are clues to your purpose - How discovering your personal WHY leads to a more resilient, meaningful, and fulfilling life - Why purpose matters more than ever in the age of AI (and why trying to “outcompete” technology is the wrong goal) - Why we're expecting more meaning from work than any generation before us - Why Simon is a perpetual optimist and truly believes anyone can find fulfillment in whatever work they do - Real, science-backed benefits of a positive mindset - Why elite athletes and longevity-obsessed people may actually end up with shorter lifespans - Why conflict is unavoidable, but peaceful resolution is always possible - Responsibilities of leaders (and why leadership is about service, not status) - Key differences in how men and women tend to lead (and why both styles matter) - Why you sometimes have to fail before you can succeed - How to know when it's time to move on from a work relationship that no longer serves you And perhaps most hopeful of all: Why Simon finds real optimism in young people choosing connection over status, and why the future belongs not to the most productive, but to the most human. If you're questioning your career, your purpose, your leadership style, or simply how to live well in an uncertain world, this conversation will challenge how you think, and might just change how you live!
