In this episode, Niels and Mark Rzepczynski examine a market where the usual relationships have broken down. Bonds offer no shelter, volatility moves without conviction, and political intervention keeps distorting the signals investors rely on. What once served as protection now feels unreliable. Behind the headlines on tariffs, inflation, and eroding trust in institutions lies a deeper question about how to navigate when the frameworks built for one regime are carried into another. With a balance of macro insights, behavioral nuance, and hard-earned skepticism, this conversation looks at what really drives returns when narratives shift faster than the data.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Mark on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:13 - What Caught our Attention04:16 - The Impact of Supply Chains on Global Trade08:51 - The Complexities of Trust in Economics17:45 - Understanding Trend Following in Financial Markets27:18 - The Age of Uncertainty32:51 - Understanding Market Uncertainty36:52 - More than One Type of Uncertainty49:53 - The Fallout of Trend Following01:01:22 - The Dynamics of Safe Assets01:02:41 - Transitioning from Concepts to Practical Insights in Trend FollowingCopyright © 2024 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about

Krissy Dilger of SRNA moderated this "Ask the Expert" episode, “Pelvic Floor Therapy for Bladder and Bowel Management,” featuring Jessica Ekberg, a certified pelvic floor therapist. Jessica explained the various conditions treated by pelvic floor therapy, emphasizing the importance of posture and breathing [00:01:05]. She discussed how pelvic floor therapy is adapted for individuals with rare neuroimmune disorders [00:04:59]. The discussion included both physical exercises and emotional work integral to the therapy [00:07:42]. Practical tips for seeking pelvic floor therapy and insurance considerations were also covered [00:10:42]. The episode concluded with encouragement to explore this underutilized service [00:19:23].00:00 Introduction02:03 Understanding Pelvic Floor Therapy04:59 Pelvic Floor Therapy for Rare Neuroimmune Disorders07:42 The Emotional and Mental Aspects of Pelvic Floor Therapy10:42 Practical Insights and Patient Experiences19:23 Getting Started with Pelvic Floor Therapy27:38 ConclusionJessica Ekberg, OTR/L is a business owner, avid runner, former pants peer, prolapse owner, postpartum pain sufferer, mom of two, and certified pelvic floor therapist. Jessica is extremely passionate about helping men and women be the best version of themselves they can. Her goal is to bring Pelvic Floor Health discussions to the forefront of what she does, to help dispel myths and educate about facts. The lack of information and effective treatment in the community can leave people suffering in silence. Now that she has been working in pelvic health for almost five years, she realizes just how critical pelvic health is to all of us. She started her pelvic health journey after experiencing “a lot of problems” when returning to running post baby.Jessica's advice is to stop ignoring or putting off taking care of yourself. The core makes up the foundation of the body and if it is not functioning properly, it can impact several systems within the body. Some of the problems that clients present with are incontinence, hernias, pelvic pain including hips/back/genital/rectal/tailbone, respiratory difficulties, heavy/painful periods, menopause, endometriosis, pre/during/postpartum care, constipation, and sexual (including erectile) dysfunction. Jessica's approach involves assessing the whole body, putting the puzzle together in order to determine the driver of the dysfunction and then developing a treatment plan to solve the problem. Her goal is to help clients return to doing all of the things they love, as quickly and safely as possible.

Dairy farmers have several options when designing and implementing beef-on-dairy programs. One approach is breeding dairy cows to beef sires, producing crossbred calves that enter the beef value chain.

Evaluating embryo quality is crucial for dairy farmers when considering beef-on-dairy options. Understanding the processes involved with these embryos is essential, and we provide comprehensive information to address any questions you may have. Here is a breakdown of the episode: 1:50: The Impact of Embryos and In Vitro Fertilization on Dairy Breeding3:28: Debunking the Myth: “An embryo is an embryo”6:57: Quality Control and Simplot Animal Sciences8:56: Why Embryo Quality Matters for Dairies10:49: Practical Insights from Your Own Herds14:54: Final Thoughts & Advice for Dairies Considering HerdFlex Embryos16:14: Where to Learn More This episode is sponsored by Simplot Animal Sciences.

Are you ready to unlock your fullest potential and step into your highest timeline?  Over the next three podcast episodes, I'm sharing a powerful blueprint I've developed through two decades of clinical practice and mentoring purpose-driven women. In this series, I'll walk you through the three key areas that have been absolutely foundational in helping women step into their highest potential, unlock their personal power, and create the life they are destined for. Today, in Part 1, we dive into the first pillar: Emotional Intelligence. You see, emotional intelligence isn't just a “nice-to-have” skill; it's essential for creating a life that you love. It's about learning how to navigate your inner world with clarity and personal power, and without these two things, we can quickly start creating chaos instead of alignment. Over the years, I've seen time and time again that without emotional intelligence, no amount of manifestation tools or practices will give you the results you desire. But when you unlock your emotional intelligence and embody it deeply, you'll see how everything in your life can shift. I'll be sharing practical insights and actionable steps that you can immediately apply to your life—so that you can embody emotional intelligence in every situation and create outcomes that truly serve you. The Creatrix Method is all about mastering intelligence on three levels, and emotional intelligence is the first step to mastering your inner world. So, are you ready to step into your full power and create the life you've always wanted?   Where to Connect: WEBSITE:  https://shyamalakiru.com  THE CREATRIX METHOD WAITLIST: https://www.shyamalakiru.com/creatrix-waitlist FREE PRECISION-MANIFESTATION SERIES: https://www.shyamalakiru.com/opt-in

In this episode, we're exploring the profound ways God communicates with us through acts of hospitality, inspired by Hebrews 13:2. We'll uncover how opening our homes and hearts not only blesses others but also aligns us with God's divine whispers.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Hebrews 13:2 (ESV): "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." This verse reminds us of the mysterious and divine possibilities that hospitality can bring into our lives.Hospitality is more than a social courtesy; it's a gateway to deeper spiritual experiences and a method through which God often chooses to speak to us.Understanding Divine Encounters Through Hospitality:* Creating Space for God: By practicing hospitality, we actively create space in our lives for God to work and speak, often in ways we might not expect.* Encountering God in Others: Through acts of kindness and welcoming, we might find ourselves face to face with God's messengers or manifestations of His presence in the guise of those we serve.* Being Attentive to God's Promptings: Hospitality requires us to be attentive and sensitive to the needs of others, which sharpens our ability to hear God's voice directing our actions.Practical Insights for Practicing Hospitality:* Listen Actively: I encourage you to be vigilant for God's voice when you feel a nudge to offer hospitality. This might be a spontaneous prompt to invite someone over or to assist a stranger in need.* Prepare for the Unexpected: Take time to share stories or testimonies where unexpected acts of hospitality can lead to significant spiritual insights or encounters.* Foster an Open Heart and Home: Discuss ways to maintain an attitude and environment that welcomes both planned and spontaneous opportunities to show hospitality.ConclusionHospitality is not just a practice but a lifestyle that opens doors to divine encounters and deeper communion with God. As we open our lives to others, we also open ourselves to hear and experience God in extraordinary ways.A Question of the Day: Have you ever experienced a moment where hospitality led to an unexpected divine encounter? How did it impact your perspective on serving others?Growth Challenge: This week, challenge yourself to extend an act of hospitality to someone outside your normal circle. Pay close attention to how God uses that interaction and reflect on any new insights or messages you receive during the process.Let's Pray: Father, thank You for the opportunities You give us to serve You through serving others. Help us to hear Your voice and see Your face in those we welcome and care for. May our acts of hospitality be a true reflection of Your love and grace. Amen.As we continue our journey of faith, let's embrace hospitality not just as a duty but as a privilege to serve and hear from God. Let's be eager to open our doors and hearts, for we never know how God might choose to speak to us through these acts of kindness.

In this episode, we explore the deep commitment required to heed God's call to pastor, guided by the insights from Hebrews 13:17. We delve into the dual responsibilities that come with this calling—faithfulness to God and accountability to those we lead.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Hebrews 13:17 (ESV): "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you." This scripture emphasizes the serious accountability pastors hold before God and their congregations.Pastoring is more than a role; it's a divine calling that demands a high level of responsibility and obedience. Today, we'll discuss what it means to step into this role with integrity and dedication.Understanding the Call to Pastor:* Responsibility and Accountability: Pastors are tasked with the spiritual oversight of their congregations, a role that requires vigilant care, wise leadership, and a readiness to answer to God for their stewardship.* Obedience to the Call: Obedience in pastoring means accepting the call with the full knowledge of its challenges and committing to lead according to God's principles and direction.* Serving with Joy: The scripture instructs leaders to serve joyfully, as grudging service can hinder spiritual growth, both personally and within the church.Practical Insights for New Pastors:* Stepping into Leadership: Encourage those new to pastoring to embrace their roles with humility and strength, seeking God's guidance continually.* Building Relationships: Emphasize the importance of developing strong, trust-based relationships with the congregation, fostering a community where open communication and mutual respect prevail.* Maintaining Spiritual Health: Discuss the necessity for pastors to care for their own spiritual well-being, ensuring they are spiritually nourished to effectively nourish others.ConclusionAccepting the call to pastor is a profound commitment that requires obedience, humility, and a heart aligned with God's purpose. As stewards of God's flock, pastors are called to lead with dedication and to prepare themselves and their congregations for spiritual success.A Question of the Day: What qualities do you believe are most crucial for a pastor to lead effectively and with joy?Growth Challenge: Reflect on the areas of your leadership where you can improve in joy and effectiveness. This week, focus on one aspect of your pastoral duties where you can increase both your joy and your effectiveness, and implement strategies to enhance your approach.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, grant all pastors the grace to embrace their calling with seriousness and joy. Empower them through Your Spirit to lead with love, wisdom, and integrity, always ready to give an account for their stewardship. Help them to shepherd Your people in ways that bring honor to Your name. Amen.As we continue to lead and care for God's people, let's do so with a spirit of joy and commitment, fully aware of the great responsibility we carry. Let's shepherd with grace and courage, always relying on God's strength and guidance. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Appetite and satiety are fundamental concepts shaping how we eat, why we feel hunger, and what keeps us satisfied after meals. From the biological signals sent by our gut to the psychological influences of food cues, understanding these processes can provide valuable insights into how we manage our food intake. In this episode, we delve into the interplay between hormones, food properties, and external factors that regulate appetite and fullness, exploring how these mechanisms work together—or sometimes fail—in modern eating environments. We will examine fascinating topics such as the satiety cascade, sensory-specific satiety, and the impact of nutrient composition on hunger regulation. This episode also highlights how individual differences, such as satiety phenotypes, shape eating behavior, offering a nuanced perspective on the science of satiety. Whether you're interested in applying these concepts to your diet or supporting others in managing hunger, this discussion offers practical takeaways grounded in scientific evidence.

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle health with Dr. Chris Meletis, exploring why maintaining muscle mass is critical as we age and how MYOS MD's revolutionary supplement, Fortetropin, can play a pivotal role in combating muscle loss. Key Topics Covered: The Importance of Muscle for Longevity: Muscles act as the currency of longevity, influencing metabolism, physical functionality, myokine production, hormone balance, and overall musculoskeletal health. After age 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates, with lean body mass decreasing by 1-2% annually and strength declining 1.5-5% per year. This impacts mobility, independence, and systemic health. Understanding Myostatin and Its Role: Myostatin is a natural protein that inhibits muscle growth, preventing excess muscle accumulation. While beneficial in early development, elevated myostatin levels with age, injury, or illness can exacerbate muscle wasting and hinder recovery. How MYOS MD's Fortetropin Helps: Fortetropin, derived from fertilized chicken egg yolk, is clinically proven to lower myostatin levels and support muscle protein synthesis. Benefits include: Increased muscle mass and strength. Reduced muscle breakdown. Enhanced recovery after injury or surgery. Clinical trials show an 18% increase in protein synthesis in older adults after just 21 days of supplementation without changes to diet or exercise. Applications of Fortetropin: Protecting lean body mass during weight loss, especially with GLP-1 treatments or bariatric surgery. Supporting recovery from injuries or surgeries where muscle atrophy is a concern. Enhancing physical performance for athletes and active individuals. Practical Insights and Dosing: Typical starting dose: 6.6 grams per day. Easy to incorporate into daily routines—mix with shakes, yogurt, or water. Pair with amino acids, CoQ10, and a protein-rich diet for optimal results. The Bigger Picture: Dr. Meletis explains how muscle health impacts metabolic function, bone density, and overall aging. Strategies to combat sarcopenia include resistance training, balanced nutrition, and innovative interventions like Fortetropin.

Breaking Karmic Cycles: Healing Multidimensional Trauma and Reclaiming Your Voice In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into the profound journey of healing across lifetimes, breaking free from karmic cycles, and stepping into authentic self-expression. We talk about insights into the multidimensional aspects of trauma, the generational and past-life imprints we may carry, and the powerful cosmic energies currently supporting us in clearing these deep-rooted patterns. With a blend of personal storytelling and practical wisdom, this episode explores how trauma replaces connection with protection, how patriarchal systems have contributed to survival-based nervous system responses, and how healing allows us to reconnect to our natural state of connection. If you've ever felt held back by fear or wondered how to break free from ancestral or karmic patterns, this episode will guide you toward deeper understanding and empowerment. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The nature of karmic cycles and how they influence our present lives. How trauma—whether personal, generational, or karmic—can disconnect us from connection and self-expression. The role of energy healing in clearing old patterns and releasing trauma across lifetimes. Why cosmic energies are intensifying our awareness of these patterns and supporting profound transformation. Practical steps to begin healing through small, safe connections in daily life. I share how I faced and healed a karmic cycle of fear of visibility, reclaiming my voice and stepping into purpose. Key Themes: Healing trauma across lifetimes and dimensions. Clearing generational and collective karmic patterns. Reclaiming your authentic voice and stepping into your power. The intersection of personal, ancestral, and cosmic healing. How healing ripples out to transform the collective consciousness. A Personal Journey of Healing I share how early on in life, I realized I had a fear of public speaking—a challenge that felt tied not just to this lifetime but also to past-life experiences of persecution and generational trauma. Through energy healing, and consistent effort, I healed and eventually broke this karmic cycle, reclaiming my authentic voice and embracing authentic self-expression. This story offers hope and inspiration for anyone working through fear or resistance in their own life. Practical Insights & Reflection Questions: Where in your life do you feel called to heal or release old patterns? When, where, or with whom do you feel most connected and safe? What small steps can you take to build a sense of safety and reconnection? Resources Mentioned: Tools for energy healing and trauma release (e.g., Reiki, quantum healing, Somatic Healing, EMDR, ). Journaling prompts to explore your fears and identify patterns calling for healing. Remember, healing isn't about rushing to the end—it's about honoring your journey, step by step. Whether you're working through personal fears, breaking generational cycles, or clearing karmic imprints, you are not alone. The cosmic energies are here to support your growth, and every moment of healing contributes to a brighter, more connected future. Connect with Us: Join the conversation!
