What if the way you were taught to earn money is completely different from the way wealthy people build it? In this solo episode, Amy Sylvis explores the different financial rules followed by the poor, middle class, and wealthy using a framework from Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant. She breaks down how money moves through each group's income statement and balance sheet, revealing an important distinction between earning a salary and owning assets that generate income. Amy also shares why this difference became personal when cystic fibrosis left her unable to work at age 35. From the risks of relying entirely on a paycheck to the impact inflation can have on salary, she explains why building income-producing assets can provide another layer of financial flexibility. Rather than prescribing one path, Amy encourages listeners to understand the options available and decide which financial structure best supports the freedom and life they want to create.

"Every convenience has a cost. How much privacy, independence and freedom are you willing to give up in exchange for safety." In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Matt Larsen, widely known for his work developing modern military combatives, to explore competing ideas of fairness, social mobility, privacy, and personal freedom. We discuss whether “fair” means equal outcomes or equal opportunity, how family values and social class shape a person's prospects, and why convenience can quietly come at the expense of independence. We also examine commercial surveillance, geofencing, license-plate readers, cashless businesses, and the possibility of a privately enforced social-credit system. The conversation then turns to violence and combat psychology. Matt Larsen explains why trained professionals often avoid unnecessary fights, how adrenaline affects performance, and why controlled aggression is different from posturing. He also breaks down the distinction between the Army Rangers and Special Forces before explaining the fundamentals of small-unit tactics. Finally, we look at drones and the modern battlefield, including how autonomous systems may increase surveillance, reshape infantry tactics, and make even small groups of people vulnerable targets.

Key Takeaways Matt Larsen argues that modern political disagreements often come from different definitions of fairness, with one side emphasizing equal outcomes and the other emphasizing opportunity and justice at 08:48. Social class is shaped by more than money. Family attitudes, work ethic, expectations, and values can determine whether someone can move into a different social environment at 13:07. Privacy is increasingly traded for convenience. Phones, commercial data, cameras, and geofencing can reveal movements and associations at 22:22. Matt Larsen says the surveillance state is unlikely to disappear, and that social-credit-style systems may emerge through private companies rather than direct government action at 31:30. A free society still has to balance safety, privacy, and convenience. The group debates whether people are willing to surrender freedom because modern life is easier at 38:36. Trained professionals understand that capability and violence are not the same thing. Matt Larsen explains why disciplined soldiers avoid unnecessary fights and keep themselves out of bad situations at 54:28. Combat performance depends heavily on managing fear, adrenaline, and energy. Poor preparation can cause a fighter to burn out early at 48:42. Matt Larsen explains that Rangers are primarily an elite raid force, while Special Forces, or Green Berets, specialize in training and supporting indigenous forces at 01:02:30. Small-unit tactics can be scaled from a few people to a larger military organization. The basic principle is coordinating fire and movement to create an advantage at 01:17:00. Drones may reduce the ability to move, evacuate casualties, or gather in groups on the battlefield. Even with advanced technology, people still have to occupy and control ground at 01:24:03. Guest Information Matt Larsen is a former Ranger and military combatives instructor. He discusses hand-to-hand combat training, warrior culture, small-unit tactics, military history, combat psychology, and the effects of drones and surveillance on modern warfare.

St. Jeanne Jugan carried a blind, forgotten old woman home in her own arms — and started a worldwide order. On a cold winter night in France, Jeanne Jugan carried an elderly, blind woman named Anne into her own home and gave her, her own bed. More elderly poor kept arriving, and Jeanne kept making room — begging door to door for whatever they needed. Though a priest later took credit for founding her congregation and pushed her aside for the rest of her life, the Little Sisters of the Poor she truly started now serve in more than thirty countries. "She called what she did simply 'making room.'" ⭐Today's challenge is just the start.  Get the free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and walk with a new saint every single day: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along  

Full Text of Readings Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 124 The Saint of the day is Saint Jeanne Jugan Saint Jeanne Jugan's Story Born in northern France during the French Revolution—a time when congregations of women and men religious were being suppressed by the national government, Jeanne would eventually be highly praised in the French academy for her community's compassionate care of elderly poor people. When Jeanne Jugan was three and a half years old, her father, a fisherman, was lost at sea. Her widowed mother was hard pressed to raise her eight children alone; four died young. At the age of 15 or 16, Jeanne became a kitchen maid for a family that not only cared for its own members, but also served poor, elderly people nearby. Ten years later, Jeanne became a nurse at the hospital in Le Rosais. Soon thereafter, she joined a third order group founded by Saint John Eudes. After six years she became a servant and friend of a woman she met through the third order. They prayed, visited the poor, and taught catechism to children. After her friend's death, Jeanne and two other women continued a similar life in the city of Saint-Sevran. In 1839, they brought in their first permanent guest. They began an association, received more members, and more guests. Mère Marie of the Cross, as Jeanne Jugan was now known, founded six more houses for the elderly by the end of 1849, all staffed by members of her association—the Little Sisters of the Poor. By 1853, the association numbered 500 and had houses as far away as England. Abbé Le Pailleur, a chaplain, had prevented Jeanne Jugan's reelection as superior in 1843; nine years later, he had her assigned to duties within the congregation, but would not allow her to be recognized as its founder. In 1890, the Holy See removed him from office. By the time Pope Leo XIII gave her final approval to the community's constitutions in 1879, there were 2,400 Little Sisters of the Poor. Jeanne died later that same year, on August 30. Her cause was introduced in Rome in 1970. She was beatified in 1982, and canonized in 2009. Reflection Jeanne Jugan saw Christ in what Saint Teresa of Calcutta would describe as his “distressing disguises.” With great confidence in God's providence and the intercession of Saint Joseph, she begged willingly for the many homes that she opened, relying on the good example of the Sisters and the generosity of benefactors who knew the good that the Sisters were doing. They now work in 30 countries. “With the eye of faith, we must see Jesus in our old people—for they are God's mouthpiece,” Jeanne once said. No matter what the difficulties, she was always able to praise God and move ahead.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Carson and Jason focus in on 1 Kings 17 and explore what we can learn from this chapter in Elijah’s life when he was taken care of by a poor widow at a very tough time in Israel’s history.

If you're doing everything "right" for your sleep and still waking up exhausted, tossing and turning at night, or lying in bed with your brain running a mile a minute, the problem might not be your nighttime routine. It might be what your brain has learned to do when you get into bed. In this episode, I'm sitting down with licensed psychologist Jessica Meers to talk about the psychology of sleep, insomnia, and why some of the things we do to compensate for a bad night of sleep can actually keep the cycle going. Jessica specializes in treating insomnia without medication using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). She explains why sleep is both biological and psychological, how we can unintentionally train ourselves to associate our beds with stress and wakefulness, and why there is no perfect sleep routine that works for everyone. We also talk about overthinking at night, maintaining a consistent wake time, what to do when you can't fall back asleep, creating a sleep-supportive environment, and how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep. If you've been chasing the perfect bedtime routine but still aren't sleeping well, this conversation may help you look at sleep in a completely different way. In This Episode, We Cover: Why sleep affects so much more than how tired you feel the next day The relationship between poor sleep and mental health Why the "5 AM club" approach isn't right for everyone How individual sleep needs can change with age and life circumstances Why sleep is both a biological process and a learned behavior How lying awake, worrying, and tossing and turning can reinforce poor sleep patterns Why overthinkers often struggle when everything finally gets quiet at night Jessica's strategy for scheduling "worry time" before bed Why getting out of bed may be better than staying there trying to force yourself to sleep How to distinguish insomnia symptoms from potential signs of sleep apnea What Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is Why a consistent wake-up time can be one of the most important parts of improving sleep Why sleeping in to "catch up" after a bad night can disrupt your rhythm How to create a simple wind-down buffer before bed Why temperature and light matter for sleep Why the perfect sleep environment may not be enough when your nervous system is on high alert The relationship between perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and sleep Why addressing sleep may require support from more than one type of practitioner Sleep Is More Than Feeling Tired We tend to think about poor sleep in terms of how we feel the next morning. We're tired. We're foggy. We need more coffee. We don't have the energy we normally have. But Jessica explains that sleep reaches much further than our energy levels. As a psychologist, she pays particular attention to the relationship between sleep and mental health. Poor sleep and insomnia are closely connected with conditions like anxiety and depression, and sleep difficulties can sometimes appear before other mental health symptoms. Sleep also intersects with hormones and metabolic health, which is one of the reasons getting consistent, restorative sleep matters so much for our overall health. This isn't simply about getting enough hours so you can be productive tomorrow. Sleep is one of the foundational systems supporting your physical and emotional health. There Is No Perfect Sleep Schedule One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Jessica's take on the "5 AM club." We see these routines everywhere. Wake up at 5 AM. Work out. Take the cold plunge. Journal. Meditate. Get more done before everyone else wakes up. And while that routine may work beautifully for one person, it doesn't mean it's healthy for everyone. Jessica explains that healthy sleep needs are generally discussed within a range, but the exact amount an individual needs can vary depending on the person, their age, their circumstances, and what is happening in their life. Trying to force yourself into somebody else's sleep schedule can work against what your own body needs. Your goal isn't to become the person who wakes up earliest. Your goal is to find a sleep pattern that actually supports your health. You Can Train Yourself to Sleep Poorly This was such an important distinction. Our bodies know how to sleep. But psychologically, sleep can also become a learned behavior. That means we can unintentionally teach ourselves patterns that make sleeping harder. Think about what happens when you repeatedly lie in bed unable to sleep. You toss. You turn. You start thinking about tomorrow. You worry about how tired you're going to be. You look at the clock. You try harder to fall asleep. And eventually, your brain begins associating your bed with being awake, alert, worried, and frustrated. Instead of your bed becoming a cue for sleep, it becomes a cue for stress. Jessica explains that breaking this association is an important part of addressing insomnia. The goal is to help your brain relearn what your bed is supposed to represent. Sleep. Why Overthinkers Struggle at Night If your brain suddenly decides bedtime is the perfect opportunity to review every problem in your life, you're definitely not alone. During the day, we're distracted. We're working. We're answering messages. We're taking care of our families. We're running businesses. There is always something competing for our attention. Then everything gets quiet. Suddenly, your brain has room to bring up all the things you haven't processed yet. For someone who already tends toward worrying or rumination, bedtime can become the moment when those thoughts get louder. One strategy Jessica recommends is intentionally creating space for those thoughts earlier. Rather than waiting until your head hits the pillow, schedule time after dinner to think through what's worrying you. Write it down. Identify the next step you can take. Give the thought somewhere to go. You're not trying to solve your entire life before bedtime. You're showing your brain that the problem has been acknowledged and there is a plan for dealing with it. What to Do When You Can't Sleep This advice sounds completely backwards at first. If you can't sleep, get out of bed. Jessica explains that staying in bed worrying, stressing, tossing, and turning can reinforce the exact association you're trying to break. You're teaching your brain that bed is where you stay awake and struggle. Instead, get up. Go somewhere else. Do something relatively mindless that you enjoy until you begin feeling sleepy again. Jessica even explains that, in the context of this approach, she would rather someone get out of bed and watch television than stay in bed desperately trying to force sleep while becoming increasingly frustrated. The goal is not to reward yourself for being awake. It's to stop reinforcing the connection between your bed and wakefulness. Could It Be More Than Insomnia? Not every nighttime awakening is caused by insomnia. Jessica also discusses some signs that may warrant talking with a healthcare professional about obstructive sleep apnea. If you're frequently waking during the night and also experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, gasping for air, morning headaches, or waking with a dry mouth, it may be worth discussing a sleep study with your healthcare provider. This is another reason why getting appropriate support matters. You don't want to spend months trying to "fix" your sleep routine if there is another underlying sleep issue that needs to be evaluated. What Is CBT-I? Jessica specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, commonly called CBT-I. Rather than relying solely on medication to manage insomnia, CBT-I looks at both the behaviors and thought patterns that may be contributing to sleep difficulties. Jessica describes it as a relatively short-term, structured form of therapy, often completed over approximately six to eight weekly sessions, although treatment needs vary by person. The process can involve changing behaviors around sleep, rebuilding the association between bed and sleeping, addressing worry and rumination, and helping people understand the psychological patterns that may be keeping insomnia going. For someone who feels like they've tried every sleep hygiene tip imaginable without getting lasting results, looking at the behavioral and psychological side of sleep may be the missing piece. Stop Trying to Catch Up on Sleep After a terrible night of sleep, sleeping in feels completely logical. You're exhausted. Your body missed sleep. Why wouldn't you stay in bed longer and catch up? Jessica explains that constantly changing your wake time can disrupt your rhythm and make the next night more difficult. One of the strongest anchors you can give your sleep schedule is consistency in the morning. Rather than obsessing over the exact time you fall asleep, Jessica encourages people to pay attention to when they get up. Set a regular wake time. Get up at approximately the same time each day. And resist constantly shifting your schedule based on how well you slept the night before. One bad night doesn't necessarily need to become several bad nights. Sometimes our attempts to compensate for poor sleep are what keep the pattern going. Give Your Brain Time to Wind Down You cannot expect your brain to go from full-speed work mode to sleep in thirty seconds. If you've been answering emails, working on your business, scrolling on your phone, solving problems, or thinking about tomorrow right up until bedtime, your brain may still be activated when you lie down. Jessica recommends creating at least a short buffer before sleep. Even thirty minutes can give your brain an opportunity to transition. The goal isn't to create an elaborate two-hour nighttime routine filled with ten different wellness practices. It's simply to give yourself a period where you are intentionally disengaging from the activities that keep your brain switched on. Your Sleep Environment Matters, But It Isn't Everything Temperature and light can absolutely support sleep. Jessica recommends keeping your bedroom cool and comfortable, with research often pointing toward temperatures around 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit for many sleepers. Darkness can also help. Dimming the lights in the evening gives your body additional environmental cues that nighttime is approaching. But there is an important caveat. You can have the perfect temperature. The perfect blackout curtains. The perfect eye mask. The perfect wind-down routine. And still struggle to sleep if your nervous system is highly activated. If you're lying in bed hypervigilant and on edge, your body's arousal system may be competing with your ability to settle into sleep. Sleep hygiene can support the process. It cannot always solve the underlying problem by itself. Perimenopause, Menopause, and Sleep Jessica's path into sleep psychology actually began through women's health research focused on sleep and the menopausal transition. That made this part of our conversation especially interesting to me. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can significantly change a woman's experience of sleep. Jessica discusses estrogen's role in sleep and why changes during this stage of life can contribute to sleep disruption. But there can also be a second layer. Once sleep becomes difficult, we naturally start worrying about it. We compensate. We change our routines. We try harder. And some of those psychological and behavioral responses can begin perpetuating the sleep problem even when hormones were part of what triggered it initially. That is why Jessica advocates for a collaborative approach. For some women, that may mean working with a psychologist or sleep specialist alongside a gynecologist, menopause specialist, physician, or other appropriate healthcare practitioner. There isn't always one single solution. You Don't Have to Keep Fighting Your Sleep One of the biggest messages I took from this conversation is that struggling with sleep doesn't mean you simply need more discipline. You don't necessarily need another supplement. You don't necessarily need another complicated nighttime routine. And you definitely don't need to force yourself into somebody else's 5 AM schedule because social media told you that successful people wake up before sunrise. Sometimes the behaviors we use to compensate for poor sleep are actually helping the pattern continue. Understanding those patterns gives you something you can work with. If sleep has become a nightly battle, consider getting support from someone who specializes in sleep rather than continuing to experiment on your own. Your Action Step Pay attention to what happens around your sleep for the next several days. Not just what time you go to bed. Ask yourself: Do I stay in bed worrying when I can't sleep? Do I dramatically change my wake time after a bad night? Am I carrying work and stress directly into bedtime? Am I trying to follow someone else's "perfect" sleep schedule? Do I spend the day worrying about whether I'll sleep tonight? You don't need to change everything at once. Start by noticing the patterns. If those patterns have been going on for a long time or your sleep is significantly affecting your health and daily life, consider speaking with a qualified sleep professional about whether CBT-I or another form of evaluation may be appropriate. Final Thoughts Sleep is foundational. It affects how you think, how you feel, how you show up for your family, and how much energy you have to build the business and life you want. And better sleep isn't necessarily about creating the perfect nighttime routine. Sometimes it starts with understanding what your brain has learned about sleep and changing the behaviors that are keeping you stuck. You can optimize your room. You can buy the eye mask. You can turn down the temperature. But if your nervous system is on high alert and your brain has learned that getting into bed means worrying for three hours, there is another layer that needs attention. That's why I loved this conversation with Jessica. It reminds us to stop chasing perfection and start understanding what our bodies and brains actually need.

What's the fundamental problem with humanity? Is it a lack of education? Poor policies in the public sphere? Why are humans the way they are? In this sermon on Ephesians 2:1–3 titled “Man in Sin,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that the problem is much deeper. The problem is this: humanity is dead. Not physically dead––physically, people are very much alive––but in regards to spiritual things, humanity is born dead. Humanity sees no need for God and disregards His word. Spiritual realities are boring to them and they do not find the Bible relevant. As a result, humanity is shaped by the present age under the spiritual realm of darkness and organize their life apart from God. They do not know it because they are dead. The result is eternal death. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that one must know the depths of this problem. As the problem is much deeper than one thought, the solution must be greater than imagined. The delight in the gospel of Jesus Christ comes from understanding this. They were hopeless and dead. Without Christ, there was nothing one could do. Yet God loved them and He has made them alive.

Poor ol' William Henry Harrison. The dude has the odd distinction of giving the longest inauguration speech in American history, followed by the shortest presidency in American history. You might be familiar with the story: He gave a speech with no coat on, and as a result, caught pneumonia and died. But… was it really pneumonia that killed him?  Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Text us a comment or question!If you're over 50 and you've ever said - or even thought - "My metabolism is broken," this episode is for you.This week, I'm continuing my special Behind the Book series by reading Chapter 4 of my upcoming book: Fully Alive: A Blueprint for Building the Strongest, Healthiest, and Most Meaningful Second Half of Your Life.And in this chapter, we're tackling one of the biggest - and most discouraging - beliefs in the over-50 health and fitness world - that aging has somehow broken your metabolism.Because let's face it… it can certainly feel that way.You eat less. You exercise more. You try harder. And somehow the strategies that worked at 30 or 40 don't seem to work anymore.So what happened?In this chapter, I'll explain why your metabolism isn't some mysterious force conspiring against you - and why "broken" may be completely the wrong way to think about what's happening inside your body.Instead, we'll explore a much more powerful idea -  Adaptation.Your body is constantly responding to the environment you create and the signals you send it.Years of restrictive dieting. Loss of muscle. Reduced activity. Poor sleep. Stress. Repeated cycles of losing and regaining weight. Your body notices all of it - and adapts accordingly.But here's the incredibly good news - adaptation works both ways.The same body that adapted to years of restriction and inactivity can begin adapting to strength training, better nutrition, movement, recovery, and consistency.Your body isn't finished at 50. Or 60. Or 70.It's still listening.In This Episode, You'll Learn:What metabolism actually is—and what it isn'tWhy having a "slow metabolism" is more complicated than most people realizeWhy weight loss can become more difficult even when you're eating lessHow years of dieting can change the environment your body is responding toWhy muscle loss and declining activity matter so much after 50The difference between metabolic damage and metabolic adaptationWhy the bathroom scale can convince you nothing is working—even when your health is improvingWhy trying to force your body to lose weight may be the wrong approachHow strength training, movement, nutrition, recovery, and consistency send your body new signalsWhy your goal isn't to get your 25-year-old metabolism backAnd why the body you have today may be far more capable of change than you've been led to believe The big takeaway?Stop asking "Is my metabolism broken?"Start asking "What has my metabolism been responding to?"Because once you stop treating your body like the enemy, you can begin creating an environment that encourages it to thrive.And that's where things get exciting.

How Long Does It Take You to Wake Up? The Cortisol Cheater Question You hit snooze six times. You need two cups of coffee before you can hold a conversation. Or the opposite: your eyes open at a level ten, heart already going, anxiety already running. There is a name for what is happening, and there is a test for it. Dr. Terri sits down with Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH, MSCP, the naturopathic physician known as the Queen of Hormones, for a conversation about the hormone testing almost nobody is ordering. Not blood. Not saliva. Urine metabolites, which show you not just how much of a hormone you have, but where it goes after your body is finished with it. Because that turns out to be the part that matters. Estrogen can travel down three different pathways, and one of them is protective while another is genotoxic. Testosterone can convert into something far more potent, which is why some women get hair loss and jawline acne on a dose that works beautifully for someone else. Progesterone can knock one woman out in ten minutes and do almost nothing for the woman next to her on an identical dose. None of that shows up on a standard panel. They also spend real time on cortisol, which has become the most misunderstood hormone on the internet. Dr. Carrie makes the case that we are doing to cortisol exactly what we did to estrogen after the Women's Health Initiative: blaming the messenger, missing the message, and reaching for supplements to suppress something the body is doing on purpose. This one is for anyone who has been told their hormones are fine, or who has tried hormone therapy and quit because of side effects nobody could explain. What you'll discover: What urine metabolite testing actually measures, and why hormones have to go somewhere (02:03) The three estrogen pathways, and which one you want to push toward (04:45) The pathway that explains breast tenderness, spotting, and estrogen sensitivity (07:58) Why testosterone causes acne and hair loss in some women and not others (09:23) Alpha versus beta: why two women on the same progesterone dose have completely different nights (11:16) Whether the route you take progesterone changes the effect (14:20) What cortisol metabolites reveal about your thyroid that a TSH will not (19:39) Free T3, reverse T3, and reference ranges that are normal but not optimal (21:39) Poor, poor cortisol: what it is actually doing for you, and why we get it backward (26:29) The everyday medications quietly suppressing your cortisol results (30:11) Serum, saliva, or urine: which cortisol test answers which question (34:57) The cortisol awakening response, and the cheater question you can answer yourself (36:24) When a urine metabolite panel is worth the money, and when it is not (40:22) Cruciferous vegetables, DIM, and the caution nobody gives you before you start (42:39) Supplements that support the DHT pathway, and why sourcing decides whether they work (47:01) Alcohol as a bully: how the liver decides what gets detoxified first (52:55) You are not stuck with the hormone you were dealt.

It's time for a State of the Herons.Inter Miami entered this stretch of the season with championship expectations, but right now, things are heading in the wrong direction. Poor results, inconsistent performances and problems throughout the lineup have left us with far more questions than answers.On this episode of Battered Herons, we're taking a break from the normal match preview/postgame format and looking at the big picture surrounding Inter Miami.How did we get here? What has gone wrong? Is this simply a bad stretch, or are there fundamental problems with the way this roster is constructed and playing?We'll examine the goalkeeper situation, defensive struggles, the lack of balance and verticality in midfield, an attack that hasn't consistently produced enough, Guillermo Hoyos' tactics and lineup decisions, and how the pieces on this roster actually fit together.But most importantly: Can Inter Miami turn this around?There is still plenty of talent on this team and plenty of season remaining. We'll discuss what needs to change, whether those solutions are already on the roster, and what we need to see over the coming weeks to believe this team can still become the contender we expected.Things look bad right now.But is Inter Miami broken—or just going through a crisis they can still fix?#InterMiami #BatteredHerons #InterMiamiCF #StateOfTheHerons #MLS #MajorLeagueSoccer #InterMiamiFans #MiamiSoccer #Herons #GuillermoHoyos #Messi #Casemiro #LuisSuarez #VamosMiami #InterMiamiPodcast #Soccer #Football

Chronic inflammation may be one of the biggest forces accelerating how we age—and the surprising part is that many of the things keeping it switched on are happening every day. Poor sleep, chronic stress, blood sugar spikes, visceral fat, and ultra-processed food can keep your immune system acting like it's under constant threat, potentially contributing to everything from metabolic dysfunction and heart disease to arthritis and cognitive decline. Here's what I unpack in today's episode: The hidden “inflammation switch” scientists are studying and why it may help explain how chronic inflammation drives aging and disease The everyday habits that can keep your immune system stuck in a constant state of alarm The surprising connection between mitochondrial health, visceral fat, blood sugar, and inflammation The most effective ways to help calm chronic inflammation and the simple daily shifts that may have the biggest impact Inflammation isn't the enemy—it's one of your body's most important survival tools. The problem is when the alarm never switches off. By changing the signals you send your immune system every day, you can help restore balance and support healthier aging from the inside out.

I visited Victoria Falls, which dwarfs Niagara, the extraordinary Table Mountain, and several wildlife reserves including Kruger National Park. The jeep rides through the brush yielded close encounters with female lions shepherding their cubs, male lions sleeping off meals, a leopard in a tree crunching the skull of an impala, herds of piously maternal elephants — only one of which came close to charging us — and a dozen other species of predator or prey. The high point, I'll confess, was one wildlife encounter in particular: when a troop of baboons charged the outdoor diners at The Black Marlin in Cape Town, driving them to flee, so the apes could stuff their faces with pilfered pasta. Sadly, I was sitting inside, so all I could do was cheer the hairy creatures on from through the window. Privacy Note: On play, Google may track viewers. YouTube's Privacy Policy. The Book of Nature I hope that I'm sufficiently grateful for this encounter with the baroque, sublime abundance of biology that our planet is privileged to host — alone, so far as we know, among the billions of planets. Gratitude should be aimed at a giver, and it was reading the works of Discovery Institute authors that made this easier for me. I could wonder at the tiny penguins that somehow survive in the Mediterranean climate near the Cape of Good Hope, or the birds that live symbiotically with wildebeests by feeding on bloodsucking insects, without the deflating idea lurking in the back of my mind, “This all the result of blind chance and iron necessity, with no crafting intelligence behind it.” Instead, I saw works of art, and found myself thanking the Artist. I was reading the Book of Nature, and seeing in it glimmers of divine action, intention, and generosity — as “natural philosophers” did from Kepler and Newton to Pasteur and Mendel. Back when I unreflectively adhered to the theistic (really deistic) evolution that's preached in most Christian pulpits, I accepted the notion that God was somehow behind every aspect of the cosmos. If pressed, I would have said that God had “guided” or “instigated” the emergence of extraordinary creatures like the zebras that stared at our jeep, the elegant kudus that capered past us through the veldt, the wild dogs that seemed at once so alien and so familiar that it was tempting to hop out and try petting them. (“Do not attempt this,” I was informed by our solemn African guide.) But all of life was at best a convoluted Rube Goldberg contraption, which Someone had set in motion then stepped away to observe. God even had humans in mind — deciding, for some reason, to slowly evolve His earthly image through a long chain of predecessor species, until at some point He chose to implant both rationality and immortal souls in creatures who'd mutated in and then emerged from the womb of an animal. I used to speculate about how that allegedly worked, and how I could reconcile it in some fashion with the Genesis account of God making man directly from the dust of the earth, and woman from his side. I remember thinking, lamely, “Maybe they were identical twins … and He switched Eve's sex before the ape gave birth to them?” Then I stopped bothering, encouraged by modern priests who treat not just Genesis but most of the Old Testament as mostly wholesome mythology, akin to that found in Bulfinch or Edith Hamilton. Christianizing Darwinists Obeying the dictum of 19th-century “Higher Criticism,” Christianizing Darwinists aim to explain away every claim of miraculous action — from the direct creation of man to the parting of the Red Sea, from Jesus' virgin birth to even his Resurrection. I was taught in high school that the last, most crucial Christian miracle, amounted merely to the “ongoing presence” of Jesus in his apostles' hearts and minds. Big whoop. In that sense, Adolf Hitler is still sadly with us. (If you want an account of how and why biblical critics crafted such blinders, read Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker's magisterial Politicizing the Bible, which I edited for publication.) Priests, theologians, bishops and even (recently) popes have responded to the popular triumph of Darwinism by dismissing most of the events recounted in Genesis as purely allegorical and moral. Keen to avoid being tarred as “fundamentalists,” and encouraged by some cautious leeway granted to evolutionary thinking by popes such as Pius XII and John Paul II, most Catholics have eagerly accepted that Darwin's theories fully explain the emergence of every living species, even man. Otherwise-orthodox believers have made this intellectual concession, convinced that “the science” is irrefutable, so the theology must make room for it. But what if, in fact, the science is very shaky, and the implications for a Christian worldview profoundly toxic? Those are the questions asked and convincingly answered in a new book, Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma. It's written in an extremely engaging format — a series of questions posed by science journalist Steve Greene and answered by theologian Rev. Michael Chabarek, O.P. It was Chaberek's previous book, Aquinas and Evolution, that convinced me to take intelligent design seriously, and embark on the journey through the works of Stephen Meyer, Michael Behe, Douglas Axe, and many others — to my profound intellectual and spiritual enrichment. This new book is every bit the equal of Chaberek's earlier work. He lays out the serious evidential weaknesses in the Darwinist claim to have explained the appearance of human beings by incremental mutations from previous apelike species. (For much more detail than this book offers, see Science and Human Origins, from Discovery Institute Press, which Chaberek cites.) He explains how circular logic and wishful thinking pervade the claims of paleontologists to have discovered non-human ancestors for our species, with periodic claims to have found a “missing link” based on tiny bone fragments of indeterminate origin. False First Principles But Chaberek's main focus is not on empirical flaws or gaps in the Darwinist account. Instead, he focuses on the false first principles that motivate, even compel Darwinists to invent their “just so” stories in the first place. Here's a sample of the straightforward, plain-speaking way that the authors convey key philosophical issues: If man did not come from the ape, then how did he come into existence? First, let us consider whether sciences such as paleontology and genetics are actually capable of providing an answer to this question. If man came into existence naturally, then, yes, because science explains the workings of nature. But if man came into existence supernaturally, that is, by the action of divine power exceeding the power of nature, then science cannot explain the beginning of man. Therefore, whether science can provide an answer to this question does not depend on scientific research, but on the previously adopted religious or philosophical assumptions. Chabarek argues convincingly that secularist and materialist assumptions precede and determine the scientific work of Darwinists, essentially forcing them to deny evidence of design, and to make impossible claims for the creative power of mutations — despite the overwhelming odds against blind chance happening upon even a single useful new protein in the entire history of life on earth (as Douglas Axe showed in exhaustive experimental detail in his book, Undeniable). When such bias-inducing reductionist assumptions migrate from the research papers of laboratory scientists into the works of Christian leaders, the consequences are even more baleful, Chabarek warns. If such a central question as the origin of the only rational species, the “image of God,” is to be surgically excised from the domain of religious authority and turned over to materialist scientists, what is to stop that same debunking impulse from undermining every mystery of faith? Should we leave Sarah's miraculous conception of Isaac to the gynecologists, the parting of the Red Sea to the oceanographers, and the resurrection of Jesus to the biologists? That's the inexorable logic of Christians who cling to Darwinist explanations of the “descent of man” from ancestral apes. Far better, Chabarek advises, for Christians who accept a long series of miracles and mysteries as entailed in the redemption of humanity to also make room for the Bible's literal account of the miracle of his creation — from the dust of the earth, by the hand of God.

After a deadly “derecho” storm and flash floods slammed the midwest in early August, downing trees and power lines, tens of thousands of residents in and around Gary, Indiana have been surviving without power for 12 days and counting. According to the Associated Press, “Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said 68,000 customers were still without power as of Thursday morning, the majority of them in Lake County beside the Illinois border. The utility said it has restored power to 306,500 others since Aug. 11. But power is not expected to be fully restored until Tuesday [Aug. 25] in some places, including Gary.” In this urgent episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of residents and community leaders about the ongoing blackout in Gary and the conditions that led to this avoidable national tragedy. Panelists include: GlenEva Dunham, president of the Gary Teachers Union, AFT Local 4; Freida Graves, Project Director at the faith-based nonprofit Families Anchored in Total Harmony (FAITH) CDC; and Reverend John Jackson, Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.Additional links/info: FAITH CDC website and Facebook pageGary Advocates for Responsible Development (GARD) Facebook pageTilly Robinson, Indianapolis Star, “Braun tells NIPSCO to move faster in Gary, while clergy says state must do more”Javonte Anderson, Capital B Gary, “I grew up in Gary.

August 24, 2026Today's Reading: Luke 22:24-30 or John 1:43-51Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 5:1-18; 1 Kings 6:1-7:50; 2 Corinthians 1:23-2:17“A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. And he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.'” (Luke 22:24–28)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Is it greater to serve or to be served? Throughout the world, the answer is obvious: it is better to be served. Kings exercise lordship, and it's good to be the king. But the King of Kings has a different answer. He is the King who says, “the first shall be last” and “Blessed are the Poor.” He is the one who came down from the heavens to serve. The eternal Son took on flesh and dwelt among us, not as a conqueror but as a servant. This continues to be a comfort to us because our God is the one who gave his life on the cross to cleanse us from our sins and did not stop there. Our God continues to sanctify his people, and He has created Good Works for us to do as fellow servants and Children of God. However, God has not stopped serving us. He continues to serve us every Sunday when the saints on earth gather together to receive the Word and Sacrament from our pastors. God's work began for us and continues to be for us as our generous King gives freely to his people for all eternity. Jesus shows that the greater one is the one who serves. If God Himself serves us, we, as His people, continue to serve our neighbor.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, Your Son, Jesus Christ, chose Bartholomew to be an apostle to preach the blessed Gospel. Grant that Your Church may love what he believed and preach what he taught; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.Jonah Clausen, seminary student at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne.

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season.

It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.

What's up, dudes? What are you people? On dope?! I've got Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox, Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu, and Tim Williams from 80's Flick Flashback are with me to talk the Christmas-adjacent movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High!”Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) follows a group of Southern California teenagers as they stumble through a school year filled with first jobs, romance, sex, friendship, and the everyday humiliations of being young. At the center is Stacy Hamilton, a shy sophomore who begins exploring dating and relationships with encouragement from her more experienced friend Linda Barrett. Meanwhile, Stacy's older brother Brad watches his seemingly perfect life unravel after losing his job and his girlfriend, while Stacy's awkward friend Mark “Rat” Ratner tries to work up the nerve to pursue her. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of Ridgemont High and the local mall, capturing teenage life with a mix of raunchy comedy and surprising sincerity.The film's most memorable character, however, is perpetually stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli, whose laid-back attitude puts him in constant conflict with stern history teacher Mr. Hand. While Spicoli dreams of surfing and Van Halen, the other students gradually discover that adulthood is arriving faster than they expected—and it comes with consequences. By the end, relationships have shifted, friendships have been tested, and several characters have grown up at least a little. Directed by Amy Heckerling and written by Cameron Crowe, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” became a defining teen comedy of the 1980s, balancing outrageous moments and endlessly quotable humor with a remarkably grounded look at the uncertainty, mistakes, and small victories of adolescence.Forgotten wallet?

Dave is back from northern Michigan, and reality is terrible. The family cabin—built by a relative generations ago—delivered everything Tulsa could not: low-80s afternoons, cool nights, fires, golf, and a lake smooth enough for water skiing.Dave's three oldest girls all learned to ski, which meant it was time for their seasoned-skier father to show them how it's done. The only problem was the pontoon boat. It had enough power to pull the kids, but not quite enough to launch a grown man from a shallow-water slalom start. After several attempts and several falls in front of his daughters, Dave accepted the indignity of starting on two skis and kicking one off. His father's old rule—“In this family, we don't fall”—was not enforced.The pour is Celestial Hazy IPA from Chainsaw Brewing, an overtly Catholic brewery in Richland, Washington. Adam has the Dominions can; Dave has the Thrones. Same beer, different celestial artwork, 6.5% ABV, and Revelation-level labels covered in angels, eyes, and hops. If you want a good IPA from a Catholic brewer, support Chainsaw Brewing and help them #BeerEvangelize.Sponsor: Select International ToursWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, the same recommendation kept coming back: Select International Tours. Having traveled with them, the guys can attest that they're excellent. Whether you want to lead a pilgrimage or join one, visit selectinternationaltours.com and see where they can take you.Sponsor: The Amen appSunday morning is not exactly easy like Sunday morning when you're trying to load a Catholic family into the van and beat Father down the aisle. The free Amen app helps the guys prepare their children for Mass by listening to the Sunday Gospel on the drive. It also includes Catholic classics like Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. No paywall, subscription, or upfront cost. Download the Amen app and help get it from 950,000 downloads to one million.The prayer request is Mary. She recently had surgery to place a G-tube, which should make feeding more comfortable and eliminate the constant gagging caused by the tube in her mouth. The immediate goals are to stabilize her, wean her from oxygen, and help her continue gaining weight so heart surgery can be considered in the coming months. A recent video caught her wide awake, smiling, and full of joy in the middle of a life that has involved more struggle than most. Keep Mary, Lady Haylee, and the whole family in your prayers.The Catholic Man Show Campout is also approaching. Registration should open near the end of August, with the campout taking place during the final weekend of September at Clear Creek Abbey. Brandon Sheard will return for a hands-on animal-butchering class, with foraging and woodworking also planned. Those experiences are valuable, but the heart of the weekend is the opportunity to pray with the Benedictine monks and step into the ordered rhythm of monastic life.Then the guys turn to the theological virtue of hope—the virtue a man in heaven no longer needs and a man in hell can no longer possess. Hope belongs to the man in the middle, the wayfarer who has not yet arrived. That means every one of us.Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, they explain the four marks of hope's object: it must be good, future, arduous, and possible. Theological hope is not the same as hoping for good weather or a Cowboys Super Bowl. Natural hope rests on circumstances, probabilities, and human ability. Supernatural hope rests on God's goodness, providence, and promises. Its ultimate object is not a better job, a healed body, or a trouble-free life. Its object is God Himself.That is why hope is “cashed in” when a soul reaches heaven. The good is no longer future; it is possessed. Souls in purgatory still have hope because the happiness they await remains future, arduous, and possible—even though their final destination is certain.Josef Pieper helps identify the two ways a man can abandon the road before reaching its end: despair and presumption. Despair decides the promise will not be fulfilled. Presumption decides the reward is already guaranteed without repentance, conversion, or cooperation with grace. Both seize the verdict before the journey is finished.Presumption is not too much trust in God. It is too little. It imagines a God too small to care about justice, transformation, and whether we become the men He created us to be. Despair makes a similar mistake by deciding that God's mercy may exist in general but cannot reach this sin, this failure, or this man.The deeper question is whether we actually trust God. Will He make us happy, or will surrendering to Him leave us regretting what we gave up? We repeatedly hang the weight of our hope on hooks that cannot bear it: a spouse, career, reputation, new client, new car, food, drink, or entertainment. Those things may be good, but none can carry the full weight of the human heart. Only Christ can do that.St. Francis de Sales brings the discussion into moments of panic, temptation, self-loathing, and spiritual dryness. Devotion is not a feeling of sweetness or consolation. It is a firm and active will to do what pleases God. When anxiety hits, do not make major decisions from agitation. A trapped bird only tightens the net by thrashing. Let the water settle, then move.Self-contempt is not humility either. Anger at yourself can be another form of pride because it still assumes you should have been able to save yourself. The better response to sin is quiet displeasure followed by courageous amendment: “Poor heart, rise up again bravely.” Hope allows a man to admit that he is nothing on his own while remembering the immense dignity God gave him through baptism.Spiritual dryness can also teach. If prayer tastes like nothing, examine what you have been eating. Screens, alcohol, entertainment, comfort, and constant stimulation can train the appetite to find spiritual goods tasteless. Keep praying without demanding an immediate emotional reward. Sometimes hope looks like doing the next faithful thing while feeling nothing at all.Dave shares a moment from adoration when he admitted that he was afraid God would ask him to leave a successful career and live in poverty through full-time ministry. His yes was reluctant, but it was still a yes. The answer he sensed was simple: “I just wanted your yes.” Years later, professional success has brought the same temptation back in a different form—the temptation to believe he can provide for himself and no longer needs to depend on God. Surrender is not something a man completes once. God keeps saying: do it again.The practical path is equally simple. Offer the trial already in front of you. Pray for an increase in hope. Pray the Rosary even when you do not feel like it. Make an act of gratitude when despair begins closing in. And stop demanding that this life provide what only the next life can give.We are on the Lord's team—the winning side. Raise your glass.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you've been hearing everyone talk about building muscle but never really understood why it's so important, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified physician, longevity expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong, and she completely flips the script on what muscle actually does for our bodies. It turns out muscle isn't just about looking toned or getting stronger ...it's one of the most powerful organs for protecting your brain, supporting your metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and helping you stay healthy as you age. Dr. Lyon breaks down the fascinating connection between muscle and brain health, why brain fog and low energy may all be connected to muscle loss, and why simply building muscles are one of the best things you can do for your long-term health. They also dive into protein...like how much you really need, why quality matters, and the surprising role essential amino acids play in building and protecting muscle.Then they tackle one of the biggest health topics right now: GLP-1 medications. Dr. Lyon explains why they are posing another “problem” and although these medications can be an incredible tool, she talks about  why protecting your muscle through resistance training and proper nutrition is the piece of the conversation too many people are missing. If you've ever wondered what you should actually be doing today to protect your physical and mental health, this episode is packed with practical advice and plenty of "I never knew that!" moments. P.S. Be sure to check out Dr. Lyon's new book too: The Forever Strong Playbook, a step-by-step guide to help transform muscle health in 6 weeks! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Muscle is one of the most powerful organs in your body, not just for strength, but for your brain, metabolism, and longevity. Every time you move your muscles, you're investing in better cognitive function, blood sugar regulation, and healthier aging. Don't wait until you're sick to prioritize your health. As Dr. Lyon says, "If you don't have time for wellness, how are you going to have time for sickness?"  The goal isn't just to lose weight, it's to protect your muscles. Dr. Lyon challenges us to think differently about health, explaining that unhealthy muscle may be the real root of many chronic diseases and that preserving muscle is essential, especially in the age of GLP-1 medications.

Relying only on low-impact exercise can leave you more fragile as you age, because your bones and connective tissue need impact to stay strong. Graham Tuttle, a coach, the author of Born to Sprint, and the self-styled Barefoot Sprinter, argues that sprinting, jumping, and throwing are the real markers of a healthy body at any age, and that stripping impact out of your training in the name of safety quietly erodes the very capacity it is meant to protect. In this conversation, Graham and Coach Allan get into why impact signals your bones and your brain that they are still needed, how training barefoot restores feedback and movement most of us have lost, the story of Graham coaching his own father to run again 15 years into a Parkinson's diagnosis, and his 10% rule for reintroducing impact safely when you are starting from badly out of shape.

Padraic Scanlan — Multi-Part, Part Two: Padraic Scanlan examines the British government's response to the Great Famine, highlighting how ideological commitments to free trade and to civilizing the poor exacerbated the tragedy. Prime Minister Robert Peel initially attempted relief through public works projects and the secret importation of American maize, known as Indian corn. However, these measures were designed as an employer of last resort, offering wages lower than the lowest private pay to avoid distorting market dynamics. Other officials, such as the Duke of Wellington, remained skeptical of the crisis, viewing reports of mass starvation as political exaggerations by Irish repealers seeking independence. Scanlan details the punitive nature of the New Poor Law, which mandated that relief be provided primarily through workhouses designed to be more miserable than the worst outside conditions. Although the Temporary Relief Act of 1847 eventually allowed for soup kitchens, the experience remained humiliating; the celebrity chef Alexis Soyer's model kitchen in Dublin gave starving people only six minutes to eat. Beyond inadequate food, the peasantry faced deroofing, a practice in which bailiffs pulled the thatch off cottages during evictions to ensure they remained uninhabitable. This systematic displacement, combined with the lack of circulating cash, fueled a volatile environment of outrages and state coercion. Ultimately, the famine led to a 20 to 25 percent decline in the Irish population and remains a central, formative event for the global Irish diaspora. (2)

August 16 through 22, 2026, we celebrate our 16th Mercury-Free Dentistry Week. Consumers for Dental Choice has engineered a tectonic shift in dentistry — modern dentists no longer place mercury-based dental fillings (amalgam) — and aware consumers shun them Unlike a decade ago, neither the U.S. Food and Drug Administration nor the World Health Organization defends amalgam, and major dental products companies have stopped making it During the last 16 years, I have watched my friend Charlie Brown, executive director for Consumers for Dental Choice, build a powerhouse national and international force that is changing dentistry 180-degrees, from mercury-based to mercury-free In early February 2026, the U.S. Indian Health Service announced it will "end the use of mercury-containing dental amalgam in its facilities by 2027, transitioning to mercury-free restorative materials across IHS and tribal dental program" In July 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sent a notification urging – but not requiring – all state Medicaid directors to phase out the use of mercury-containing dental fillings by restricting or ending their state's Medicaid coverage for amalgam But the fight is far from over. Amalgam is still routinely used in government programs serving our military, the institutionalized, and low-income families. To end this morally unacceptable system of choice for the rich and mercury for the poor, once again I put my money where my mouth is. Until midnight on August 22, 2026, I will match your gift to Consumers for Dental Choice, dollar for dollar. I'm all in with this cause and ask you to join me!

This is where I see women get stuck, because if you are listening to this, you have already done a lot. Clean eating, the supplements, CoQ10, a methylfolate prenatal, vitamin D, no alcohol, no plastics, acupuncture twice a week, reading It Starts With The Egg. Almost nobody walks into IVF blindly. None of that answers the question in front of you now. What should I actually do before another retrieval? In this episode, I walk through the three questions I would want answered. None of them are more supplements, and none of them are another checklist. A cancelled cycle tells you how your ovaries responded to medication. It was never designed to tell you about the environment those eggs were developing in during the ninety days before the injections started. What I cover: what the cycle actually established and what it was never built to answer. What happened in those ninety days, including the full thyroid panel with antibodies rather than TSH alone, ferritin where we look at 80 to 100, high sensitivity CRP where we like it below one, and absorption. Your partner's side, including DNA fragmentation, sperm antibodies and the seminal microbiome across his seventy-four days. And the question to ask your fertility team before you agree to another retrieval: what exactly are we changing, and why? I am not telling you which protocol to be on. That is a conversation with your fertility team. I am also not saying any one of these markers explains a cancelled cycle. That is not the claim I am making. It is about whether the investigation was finished before the next decision. CHAPTERS 00:00 Your cycle was cancelled and you heard poor responder 01:00 Question one, what did the cycle actually tell us 02:00 Everything you had already done before the cycle 03:00 Question two, what happened in the ninety days before stimulation 04:00 Full thyroid panel, ferritin, high sensitivity CRP and absorption 05:00 His side, DNA fragmentation, and why this is personal for me 06:00 What Your Clinic Missed, and what we actually look at 07:00 Question three, if you go again, what will be different 08:00 The Functional Fertility Second Opinion 09:00 Closing WHAT YOUR CLINIC MISSED A list of markers worth reviewing before another IVF cycle or a donor egg decision. It also gives you a sense of what we look at with clients, beyond bloodwork. Email hello@fabfertile.ca, subject line MISSED, and we will send you the guide. FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION A free 45-minute call where I review your bloodwork, your history, and your partner's results with you. Bring your partner and load your labs before the call.

In this episode of Cultish, the Super Sleuth sits down with Craig to examine a recent video in which Hayden Carroll critiques Reformed theology. Together, they analyze his arguments, address several misrepresentations of Reformed doctrine, and explain what Reformed theology actually teaches. Rather than responding with emotion, this episode seeks to offer a careful, biblical, and charitable critique while presenting the historic Reformed position in its proper context.  As Christians, we have a responsibility to represent the beliefs of those we disagree with accurately before offering criticism. Throughout this discussion, we demonstrate where Hayden's presentation falls short of that standard. Whether those inaccuracies stem from a misunderstanding of Reformed theology or a failure to engage with it carefully, listeners can judge for themselves as we examine the claims one by one.

Is a lack of motivation a personality flaw, or a signal from your brain that something needs attention? We tend to think brain decline begins with memory loss, but changes in motivation, behavior, attention, and decision-making can show up much earlier. Apathy can look like laziness. Poor sleep can feel like memory loss. Doom scrolling gets blamed on dopamine, even though the science does not support many of the claims people repeat online. And the habits we rely on for brain health are often based more on trends than evidence. This matters because your brain is constantly deciding whether a reward is worth the effort. When that calculation becomes harder, doing even simple things can feel overwhelming. Understanding how motivation works can help you reduce friction, take action before you feel ready, build routines that support your brain, and pay closer attention to changes in yourself or someone you love. Purpose matters. Curiosity matters. Relationships matter. And movement may be one of the most effective tools we have for protecting cognitive health. Dr. Masud Husain is one of the world's leading neurologists studying memory, motivation, attention, and cognitive decline. He is a professor of neurology at Oxford University, co-leads Dementia Research at Oxford University, and serves as editor-in-chief of Brain, one of the most respected journals in neurology. He is also the author of Our Brains, Ourselves, which explores how the brain shapes our behavior, identity, relationships, and sense of self. What's Discussed: (06:01) Why losing motivation can appear before memory problems and signal early cognitive decline. (08:07) How apathy differs from depression, even when the behavior looks almost identical. (12:14) What two tiny strokes revealed about the brain circuit responsible for motivation. (20:55) How purpose, curiosity, and strong relationships help protect the aging brain. (22:23) Why unmotivated people may use more brain energy deciding whether something is worth the effort. (24:54) What dopamine actually does and why it is not the brain's pleasure chemical. (26:31) Why the idea that social media gives you constant dopamine hits is not supported by evidence. (34:50) Whether Alzheimer's can be reversed and what current treatments can realistically accomplish. (45:17) How breaking tasks into smaller steps, starting before you feel ready, and building routines can create motivation. (57:12) Whether relying on AI is making our brains lazier and changing how we think. (01:01:36) How loneliness and isolation affect cognitive performance and long-term brain health. (01:07:22) How poor sleep, anxiety, and low mood can create memory problems that feel like dementia.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!
