In this unforgettable episode, Rip Esselstyn sits down with Nancy Wells, whose near-death experience at the Glass City Marathon turned into a life-saving wake-up call—and a triumphant return to running and living with purpose.While racing last April, Nancy collapsed from a massive heart attack—a"Widowmaker." Thanks to the quick actions of a retired nurse and fast-acting paramedics, Nancy survived. But surviving was just the beginning.Now, joined by Rip and cardiologist Dr. Brian Asbill, Nancy shares her gripping story: from waking up in the hospital scared and confused… to discovering a powerful new path forward through a whole food, plant-based lifestyle.In this three part episode, they explore:What actually happens during a "Widowmaker" heart attack—and how fast action saved Nancy's lifeHow nutrition played a key role in her recovery and transformationThe emotional toll of surviving a near-death experience—and the mindset needed to rise againThe life-changing effects of the PLANTSTRONG Meal Plan Bundle, from better sleep to lower blood pressure and a renewed zest for life and sustainable weight lossWhy she laced up her shoes again—one year later—for a return to the race that nearly took her lifeThis conversation is raw, real, and incredibly uplifting. Nancy's journey is living proof that hearts can heal, lives can restart, and food can empower transformation.Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeUpcoming Events:https://plantstrong.com/pages/plantstock?_gl=1%2Ac7gpf3%2A_gcl_au%2AMTExMzI3NzU1OC4xNzQ4OTY1MDE2 Join us for our 2025 Plantstrong Retreat in Black Mountain, NC - Nov 9-14, 2025: https://plantstrong.com/pages/black-mountain-retreat Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyUse Code: KALE20 for $20 off Annual Subscription at https://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Leave Us a Voicemail QuestionLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

A third of British pollinator species are now in decline — but there's still hope, and gardeners can be part of the solution. This week, the RHS launched its updated Plants for Pollinators list: over 10,000 plants scientifically shown to support pollinating insects throughout the year. Dr Andy Salisbury, head of plant health at the RHS, will take us behind the science — revealing how smart planting choices can help reverse pollinator decline. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, will bring us into the world of the charismatic bumblebee, shedding light on the growing pressures they face, from shrinking habitats to shifting seasons. And finally, horticulturist Rosie Yeomans will spotlight a pollinator favourite: salvias. After leading a three-year hardy salvia trial at RHS Garden Wisley, she's here to reveal which varieties truly stole the show.

Richard Lee's life changed forever in 1990 when he slipped on a catwalk while setting up the lights for an Aerosmith concert, suffering a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. A Texas native raised by conservative Republican parents, he would subsequently dedicate his life to educating his family, the government, and ultimately the entire country about medical cannabis. Along the way, he transformed an eight-block stretch of Oakland, California into a weed autonomous zone lovingly known as Oaksterdam. It included his two cannabis coffeeshops, a medical cannabis dispensary, his political headquarters, and the 30,000 square foot main campus of Oaksterdam University, the country's first trade school dedicated to training people for careers in the legal cannabis industry. Richard then put up his own money to run a state-wide marijuana legalization initiative in California. Not long after, the Feds came to shut him down, and the city of Oakland rose up in his defense. Richard Lee passed away this week. May he Rest in Plants... PATREON Please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support Great Moments in Weed HIstory on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The science behind your garden hydrangeas involves far more than just planting and watering. Dr. Lisa Alexander, a research geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, takes us on a fascinating journey from her first days pollinating chestnut trees in a 70-foot bucket truck to her current work revolutionizing hydrangea breeding at the National Arboretum.Working from the heart of Tennessee's nursery country, Dr. Alexander explains how she's mapping the genetic diversity of oakleaf hydrangea across its six-state native range. Her team has identified six distinct genetic populations, some containing rare genes that might help plants survive drought or cold temperatures. This groundbreaking research comes at a critical time – they've discovered that urbanization has already caused these beautiful native plants to disappear from many previously recorded locations.The economic stakes are significant. Hydrangeas represent a $155 million industry, ranking as the second best-selling woody shrub behind roses. By understanding the genetic blueprint controlling traits like plant size, flower structure, and environmental adaptations, breeders can develop improved varieties that combine beauty with resilience.Dr. Alexander also discusses the exciting launch of "Hort Genomes" – a new initiative creating a dedicated home for specialty crop genomic data within the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science. This resource will accelerate research across horticultural fields by centralizing crucial genetic information previously scattered across publications or unavailable to the scientific community.Whether you're a backyard gardener admiring your hydrangeas or a scientist breeding the next generation of ornamental plants, this episode reveals the remarkable intersection of traditional horticulture with cutting-edge genomics that's shaping the future of our gardens.Read the JASHS article “Precipitation, Temperature, and Population Structure Influence Genetic Diversity of Oakleaf Hydrangea Throughout Its Native Range” at https://www.doi.org/10.21273/JASHS05255-22.Learn more about the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) at https://ashs.org/.HortTechnology, HortScience and the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science are all open-access and peer-reviewed journals, published by the American Society of Horticultural Science (ASHS).

The garden in summer is at its fullest sensory delight and overwhelm – the peak of sunlight, growing hours, heat, and growth, ripening, and even rotting. This week, we revisit a BEST OF conversation that embraces this sublime sensuality from a variety of perspectives, in conversation with master naturalist Nancy Lawson.  Nancy is perhaps best known as "The Humane Gardener", the title of her first book, and her online signature. And a humane gardener she is. Nancy is a habitat consultant and founder of The Humane Gardener, LLC. She observes, researches, and pioneers creative wildlife-friendly landscaping methods in her own home habitat and for others. In other words – and in all senses of the phrase – Nancy puts her gardening where her words are, and words and action come together beautifully in her newest book, Wildscape, Trilling Chipmunks, Beckoning Blooms, Salty Butterflies, and other Sensory wonders of Nature.  Together this week, we delve into her newest research and reporting on the complexity and richness of the sensory life of other than human lives: from the botanical to the birds, bugs, mammals, amphibians other wildlife all around us. Wildscape is eye, ear, nose and heart opening!

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.Zefiro Methane Corp. (Cboe: ZEFI / OTCQB: ZEFIF)Zefiro continues to expand its role in environmental remediation with a new $522K contract in Morrow County, Ohio. Through its subsidiary Plants & Goodwin, the company will plug orphan wells near Columbus, marking its latest win in a year that's already seen 28 wells remediated and 23 more under contract. Backed by strong state support and a dual-revenue model including offset credit sales to Mercuria and EDF, Zefiro is positioning itself at the forefront of methane abatement and climate impact.Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY)Dryden is making waves in Ontario's Dryden District with high-grade gold drill results from its Elora Gold System. Key intercepts include 15.30 g/t over 1.45m and visible gold in multiple zones, signaling that Dryden may be sitting on a much larger and more complex gold system than previously known. Backed by expert leadership and active drilling, Dryden is shaping up to be one of Ontario's most exciting exploration stories.ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU / OTCQB: ESAUF)ESGold's Montauban Project in Quebec is gaining academic validation as a potential Broken Hill–style polymetallic system. Two peer-reviewed university studies and deep seismic imaging to 1,200m confirm vertically stacked mineralized lenses—pointing to major discovery potential. ESGold is also advancing toward near-term cash flow through tailings reprocessing, setting the stage for a rare self-funded junior mining model focused on both revenue and exploration upside.NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG / OTCQX: NXGCF)NexGold announced more exceptional drill results from its Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia, including 108.76 g/t over 1.40m and 67.23 g/t over 2.20m. With an updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the horizon and a strong gold market backdrop, NexGold is building momentum toward becoming a new mid-tier Canadian gold producer. The shallow, open-pit geometry and jurisdictional strength make this project a standout.Follow AGORACOM for more breaking small-cap news, interviews, and insights across our social platforms and podcast.

The 15,000-year story of how grass seduced humanity into being its unwitting labor force--and the science behind it. Domesticated crops were not human creations, and agriculture was not simply invented. As Robert N. Spengler shows, domestication was the result of an evolutionary process in which people played a role only unwittingly and as actors in a numberless cast that spanned the plant and animal kingdoms. Nature's Greatest Success: How Plants Evolved to Exploit Humanity (Univ of California Press, 2025) is the first book to bring together recent scientific discoveries and fascinating ongoing research to provide a systematic account of not only how agriculture really developed but why. Through fifteen chapters, this book dives deep into the complex processes that drove domestication and the various roles that plants and animals, including humans, played in bringing about those changes. At the intersection of popular history, archaeology, and evolutionary biology, Nature's Greatest Success offers a revolutionary account of humanity not at the apex of nature but deeply embedded in the natural world and the evolutionary processes that continue to guide it even today.

What makes a truly great board? And what defines a life well-led? In this episode of the Brilliant People Podcast, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with Peter Browning, one of the most respected governance voices in America. With over 14 public company boards under his belt—including lead director roles at Nucor, Acuity Brands, and ScanSource, plus 16 years on the board at Lowe's—Peter brings a rare depth of experience and perspective to the conversation.He shares the board-level decisions that matter most, from CEO succession to crisis leadership, and the personal stories that shaped his approach to communication, transparency, and resilience. It's a deep dive into how leadership is built through pressure, listening, and connection—long before the boardroom.What You'll Learn:– The 3 questions every board must answer– What most boards get wrong about CEO succession– How to lead through bankruptcy, crisis, and culture change– Why the best directors listen more than they speak– How climbing mountains and running plants shaped his edge as a leaderTimecodes:00:00 Intro00:11 Peter Browning: Corporate Legend01:35 Living Life as a Contact Sport14:57 Inside the Boardroom: ScanSource, Lowe's & More16:42 Sales Trainee to CEO: Sonoco, Continental Can, National Gypsum22:18 Earning Trust Across 300 Plants, 36 Countries24:38 Bankruptcy Playbook: Reinventing National Gypsum29:59 Listening as a Leadership Advantage35:16 Modern Boardroom: From Rubber Stamp to Strategy Engine40:46 Great Lead Directors Influence Without Authority43:36 CEO Succession: Making the Hardest Calls47:32 Board Chemistry: Trust in High-Stakes Rooms51:49 When, Why & How to Replace a CEO54:58 Earning Your Seat as a New Director01:04:07 Favorite CEOs, Leaders & Books01:08:31 Lightning Round: Family, Focus & Living FullyResources:Peter Browning:  Website: www.peterbrowning.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/peter-browning-4421454/   Linnea Jungnelius: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius/ X: www.x.com/itsLinnea  Explore the Podcast: Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/4q2SyG7jTqV109lC37RtOV  Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brilliant-people-podcast/id1582636185  Blog: acertitu.de/peter-browning-blog   Stay Updated on Acertitude LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/acertitude/  YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCaRywuMZMbDfHR77TyzEQZQ  X: www.x.com/acertitude  Instagram: www.instagram.com/acertitude  Website: www.acertitude.com

This podcast episode is a five-minute excerpt from a longer conversation between Sydney Kale and Heather Sanderson where they came to an "ah-ha" moment of realization and wanted to share it with you! In it they discuss the challenges of conveying experiential knowledge, particularly in fields like plant communication and energy modalities. They explore the tension between needing scientific explanations and valuing personal experiences, emphasizing that multiple truths can coexist and that individual experiences serve as valid answers. See what resonates with you as you listen!About Sydney: Sydney Kale is a Ph.D. student of Wisdom Studies at Ubiquity University, focusing on plant intelligence and phenomenology. Her plant-relationship practice culminates in an exploration of co-authorship with plants in both academic and creative works. While her primary focus is plant studies, these inquiries provide a lens to explore plantness, humanness, and aliveness through deep listening, attunement, and embodied knowing. She is the author of The Love Language of Plants, a collection of essays written with plants at her home in Asheville, North Carolina. She also publishes a blog sharing her curiosities about the felt experience of being a human and a plant in a non-academic creative forum.About Heather: Heather Sanderson is a multi-talented writer with a focus on the healing arts. Her Dreaming with the Plants series has twenty-two titles in print, and focuses on spiritual and practical plant medicine for modern times. A yoga instructor, reiki master, and sacred plant expert, Sanderson is deeply immersed in healing on many levels. Her mission in life is to help people remember their magic. The Dog Who Wanted to be a Butterfly is her first children's book.Links to More:Sydney's Substack: https://sydneykale.substack.com/The Love Language of Plants a book by the plants and Sydney Kale: https://www.sydneykale.com/the-love-language-of-plantsDreaming with the Plants Book Series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TX6GTFRThe Future is Possible Book Series: https://majesticwisdompublishing.com/books/Follow Heather on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heather.sanderson/

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Jill spends time this week exploring over-giving and the importance of pruning relationships and commitments in your life, sharing personal experiences when she realized that she had been giving too much of herself to certain people and businesses without receiving the same level of attention in return. She likens this idea to tending a garden when she had neglected her own container garden and allowed it to become overgrown. Just as the flowers were "begging to be pruned," she realized that in her own life, certain relationships and obligations were draining her energy. Jill shares examples of reaching out to a business only to be disappointed when they declined to sponsor her event, and she reflects on family relationships in which she felt the giving was one-sided. In these cases, she decided that it was time to cut away the excess and focus her time and energy on more reciprocal relationships. On the other hand, though, she also shares a story of a friendship in which she initially felt hurt by a lack of reciprocation, but upon further reflection, she realized that her friend was actually kind in other ways. This realization allowed her to let go of the resentment and appreciate the relationship for what it was. Ultimately, Jill is discussing the importance of self-care and being more particular with your time and energy, encouraging listeners to take inventory of their relationships and commitments and to have the courage to prune away the ones that are draining rather than nourishing. She suggests this can be a powerful act of self-love and kindness, allowing you to show up more fully for the people who truly matter! Show Notes: [01:29] - Even though ​giving feels natural and joyful, Jill has realized that it's quietly draining when rarely reciprocated. [05:30] - Jill reflects on how it hurt when generosity wasn't returned, revealing that she subconsciously hoped for appreciation in exchange. [07:15] - Eventually, even pure-hearted giving begs the question: will they ever give back? [09:12] - Jill admits to having misjudged one friend and also finally stopped chasing a family member. [11:12] - Support can come from surprising places, like a childhood friend who buys ten VIP tickets. [12:56] - After giving a company $200K in business, their refusal to sponsor Jill truly stung. [15:29] - After some deep reflection, Jill chose to stop supporting those who never truly showed up in return. [17:25] - Without pruning, everything weakens, and offshoots drain the flowers just like distractions drain us. [19:57] - Jill argues that by trimming relationships and distractions, we protect our energy and grow into our full potential. [22:28] - Sometimes, the kindest thing that you can do is to unapologetically withdraw. [24:23] - True self-honesty means examining everything (relationships, habits, even screen time) and deciding on what needs to go. [25:20] - Don't forget about the upcoming Be YOU event in October!

You've probably heard that singing to your plants helps them grow - but is that actually true? In this episode, we dig into the science behind the myth, from CIA lie detector experiments on houseplants to a MythBusters greenhouse filled with heavy metal. The answer turns out to be more complicated - and more fascinating - than you'd expect. What does sound really do to plants, and what does not happen, despite decades of wishful thinking? We'll separate the pseudoscience from the peer-reviewed facts. Then we chat with Cliff and Harrison from the Try This At Home MythBusters Rewatch Podcast! Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart revisit the iconic Mythbusters series, exploring every wild myth, moment, experiment, and explosion. Join us for a laugh-out-loud rewatch that leaves no question unanswered, featuring special appearances from behind-the-scenes crew and the Mythbusters themselves.

Where does consciousness come from? Can information be received through visions? And is it possible that ancient plants unlock biological knowledge we haven't even begun to fully understand? In this episode of Your Brain Explained, Dr. Dave Rabin MD, PhD is joined by Pulitzer Prize-nominated author Jamie Wheal (Stealing Fire & Recapture the Rapture) as guest interviewer for a special conversation with anthropologist and author Jeremy Narby (The Cosmic Serpent) to explore one of the most provocative frontiers of neuroscience and consciousness research. Together, they delve into Jeremy's early fieldwork with Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, whose shamanic traditions claim to receive verifiable botanical knowledge directly from experiences with the sacred jungle plants—including ayahuasca.What begins as an exploration of cultural perspectives on plant medicine soon evolves into a larger conversation about the mysterious role of DNA in consciousness, the science of epigenetics, and the limitations of materialist thinking in modern neuroscience. Could DNA act as a receiver for information in altered states? How do we distinguish between personal projection and true insight? And what does it mean to “know thyself” in the age of brain scans and psychedelic therapy?This is a monumental episode, and one of my favorites of all time, for seekers, skeptics, and scientists alike—an invitation to sit with the unknown, rethink what we believe about consciousness, and explore how visionary states might help us heal trauma across generations.—Explore more from this episode:

“Experts” often discredit the carnivore diet by planting seeds of doubt and uncertainty. Claims that the carnivore diet could be dangerous in the long term discourage people from trying it. Amidst claims that a meat-only diet could be dangerous, our current dietary standards leave the population riddled with chronic disease.When first starting a meat-only diet, most people lose excess water weight. Your carbs are essentially dropped to zero, so you quickly get into ketosis. A 30-day carnivore diet can also improve gut health and digestion, and boost weight loss. Plants and fiber are not the best options for healing the gut. Adding fiber to an inflamed gut will only make matters worse. Plants also do not contain vital amino acids. When you go on a 30-day carnivore diet, you stop consuming grains, the source of most of our sugar consumption. Refined starch made from grains will spike your blood sugar even higher than actual sugar. Most grains are genetically modified, sprayed with chemicals, and contain traces of glyphosate, which is classified as an antibiotic. When you eliminate sugar and refined grains from the diet, you stop feeding the pathogens in your microbiome. This can starve and eliminate an overgrowth of fungus, candida, and yeast. Insulin resistance is primarily caused by the consumption of sugar and starches. You may notice that diseases or symptoms related to insulin resistance will disappear after only eating meat for 30 days. As your gut heals and inflammation decreases, you can absorb more vitamin D. Healing your gut also positively affects your brain, improving mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.For the best carnivore diet results, consume the whole animal, including bone broth, skin, and organ meats. Incorporating fish, shellfish, and eggs in a 30-day carnivore diet is also beneficial.

ChatGPT recommends the Mediterranean diet as best for overall health. It groups red meat, sugar, and processed foods together as foods to avoid and recommends plant-based diets as superior. ChatGPT recommends avoiding keto and carnivore diets on a long-term basis. ChatGPT health advice comes from organizations such as the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, which are heavily funded by certain industries and inherently biased. To lower cholesterol, ChatGPT claims you should lower dietary cholesterol, increase unsaturated fats, and replace animal proteins with plant proteins. Plants do not have complete protein, and if you reduce your dietary cholesterol, you could end up low in bile and vitamin D. Cholesterol is a vital component of your cell membranes, hormones, and brain.ChatGPT falsely claims that seed oils are not “that bad” when used in moderation. Balance and moderation allow you to continue eating bad food without worrying about the consequences. If you have a chronic disease, you can not simply “balance” your diet. If you have diabetes, you do not want to spike insulin with carbohydrates. ChatGPT recommends legumes and grains for people with diabetes and small, frequent meals. This advice would continue to spike insulin, and would not help reverse diabetes!When asked about diet and nutrition for people with chronic diseases, ChatGPT ignores powerful ways to drastically improve one's health, such as increasing vitamin D and fasting. It continues to recommend moderation for ultra-processed foods, claiming that it is safe and healthy for 20% of your daily calories to be ultra-processed.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Story at-a-glance Microplastics contaminate drinking water, food and blood; the average person consumes a credit card's worth of plastic weekly, causing hormone disruption and organ damage Natural okra and fenugreek extracts removed up to 93% of microplastics from real-world water samples, outperforming synthetic chemicals like polyacrylamide by nearly 40% Plant extracts work through "bridging," or trapping plastic particles with long-chain sugars that clump contaminants together, making them heavy enough to filter out Just 1 gram per liter of plant extract cleaned water in 60 minutes, proving these natural solutions are practical and cost-effective for everyday use Beyond microplastics, these plants also remove heavy metals and industrial toxins while being completely biodegradable, unlike synthetic chemicals that leave harmful residues
