Start your year with calm, clarity, and a meaningful New Year's Day meditation ceremony designed to help you reset your nervous system, welcome a fresh start, and set intentions you can actually follow. In this guided practice, you'll use soothing slow-breathing to settle your body, a simple water-and-candle ritual to mark a new beginning, and an inspiring story to remind you that you don't have to change everything at once—you only need to open the doorway. You'll also create one clear intention for the year ahead and turn it into a practical "if–then" plan (a research-backed tool for follow-through), so your goal feels steady and doable—not overwhelming. Press play on this gentle New Year meditation anytime you want to begin again: New Year's morning, a quiet afternoon, or any day you need a true reset. Settle in with a candle, a pen, a few pieces of paper, a glass of water, salt or sugar, and a few quiet minutes. Your next chapter begins here.

Part 4: Pleasure, Joy + Comfort as important acts of self-care. In this episode of the series, I walk you through how pleasure, joy, and comfort are not luxuries — they are essential acts of self care. I share real, personal examples of joy and comfort from my own life — from dancing at a Bad Bunny concert, to savoring comforting foods and cozy clothes, to planning a family Holiday moment that lit up my heart. Pleasure, JOY and comfort matters deeply, activating the brain's reward and connection systems. Humans across history, across cultures —have used dance, art, and music as survival tools in times of oppression. This episode invites you to reclaim joy and comfort as essential parts of your self‑care and resilience. This is not self‑care fluff. It's much needed support and medicine. Press play. Brenda PS.

It speaks to anyone who feels focused but stuck, informed but inconsistent, and ready for a more grounded approach to personal development.

For most women, overeating isn't loud or obvious. It's sneaky. It looks "normal." It's even justifiable. And it adds up.

Amanda King ND is a nutritional therapist, naturopathic practitioner, and author of Metabolic Drugs for Cancer (co-written with Dr. Hari Kuhan). She also writes The Metabolic Nutritionist on Substack—followed by 30,000+ subscribers—where she breaks down off-label oncology drugs, supplements, and metabolic approaches to cancer care in clear, practical language. In this episode, Dr. King joins Dr. Michael Karlfeldt to explain why “cancer is a disease of metabolism” is more than a slogan—and how understanding metabolic weaknesses can empower smarter, more personalized integrative strategies.You'll hear how repurposed medications can target cancer's metabolic pathways (glucose, mitochondria, inflammatory signaling, and more), and why personalization matters more than internet protocols. Amanda and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss the Care Oncology “METRICS” drug set (including metformin, statins, doxycycline, and mebendazole), plus additional tools like ivermectin, fenbendazole, DCA, 2-DG, anti-inflammatories (aspirin/COX pathways), histamine blockers (cimetidine), and even PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil/tadalafil—along with real cautions around dosing, contraindications, and interactions (including potential conflicts with immunotherapy). The conversation also ties metabolic therapy to the “press–pulse” concept and terrain-based care: ketogenic nutrition, inflammation reduction, oxygenation, and lifestyle foundations that strengthen the body while making cancer more vulnerable.Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or practitioner, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for thinking about integrative oncology without guesswork—using a “test, assess, address” mindset to build a strategy that evolves with labs, symptoms, treatment phases, and the individual.Key Topics Covered (bulleted)Why cancer metabolism (not just genetics) is a key lever in integrative oncologyWhat repurposed/off-label drugs can target: glucose pathways, mitochondria, signaling pathways (e.g., EGFR/AKT/mTOR)Why one-size-fits-all protocols are risky—and how to personalize using “test, assess, address”The Care Oncology/METRICS drug set and when it may (or may not) fitSafety and dosing concerns with high-dose ivermectin/fenbendazole and DIY internet protocolsWhen metformin vs berberine may be appropriate—and why they can sometimes be combinedDoxycycline: potential synergy (e.g., with IV vitamin C) vs contraindications (including immunotherapy concerns)Anti-inflammatory strategy: COX pathways, aspirin vs selective COX-2 approaches, plus natural options“Press–pulse” metabolic strategy and why protocols should evolve over timeOther emerging tools discussed: DCA, 2-DG, cimetidine, itraconazole, PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis) -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Send us a textWhat if blessing doesn't wait for the breakthrough but lives right in the middle of the struggle? We open with a candid story of chronic pain and an unwavering decision to keep walking, smiling, and asking God the hard questions. That honesty leads us straight into the spine of this conversation: remembrance. We ask whether the stored memory of God's faithfulness could hold us if today feels empty—whether gratitude can outlast silence and whether praise can rise even when we feel far from Him.From there we step into Job 10. Job's vivid language—poured like milk, curdled like cheese, clothed with skin and fenced with bones—becomes a theology of design. He distinguishes the person from the body, spotlighting the soul God animates. It's a bracing counter to our era's obsession with appearance and comfort. We talk about knowing Scripture not as a recital contest, but as a way to know the Lord: the Spirit brings truth to remembrance, and understanding outruns mere recall. That shift relieves pressure and deepens devotion.We also linger on the “lost sheep” as a lens of divine ownership: being lost assumes you already belonged to the Shepherd. Job's confession—You granted me life and favor, and Your visitation preserved my spirit—draws a straight line to the gospel's core. Life is granted, not earned. Favor is undeserved, not generic. Preservation is personal, not abstract. Across the conversation, we emphasize the unity of salvation through the ages: grace through faith, not performance or ritual, grounding our hope beyond momentary outcomes.By the end, you'll have a richer vision of God's sovereignty, human frailty, and the surprising blessing of trust forged in affliction. Press play to meditate on Job 10, trade anxiety over verse recall for confidence in God's character, and join us in praying boldly for healing while resting in the Shepherd who keeps His own. If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us what you will remember this week.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

"In an entrepreneurial journey, fear is a constant roadblock.

If selling feels hard for you… this episode will change everything.   So many women think confidence comes from perfect messaging, the right words, the perfect offer structure, or hyping yourself up before you show up online.   But that's not where true sales confidence comes from.   Confidence comes from focusing on the right person — the buyer who has the deepest need and desire for your offer. The person who wanted the result yesterday. The person who is already obsessed with your content (even if they're quietly lurking).   In this week's episode, I share: The real reason you feel salesy or uncertain Why broad messaging destroys your confidence How to identify and speak to the person who's ready now   If you want to feel more confident, more convicted, and more in control when you sell…this episode is for you.   Connect with me outside the podcast!

You have roughly 4,000 weeks. Somehow, nobody mentioned this at school. This episode takes a cheerful scalpel to modern time-panic—the kind that convinces smart adults that the next app, habit, or color-coded calendar will finally subdue existence. (It won't.) Time, inconveniently, keeps doing what it has always done: passing. The good news is that this makes it remarkably reliable, like a train that never apologizes. You'll explore why becoming “more efficient” can make you feel more chased, how birthdays can reveal your true time-philosophy, and why sitting quietly for ten minutes can be the most practical thing you do all week. The aim isn't to win against time. It's to stop declaring war on the only place life can happen. Treat calm as a skill, not a personality trait. Build plans that assume “the deck” never clears. Use meditation as a weekly perspective tune-up. Press play, then reclaim one hour you were about to surrender.

Think Texas has no mountains? We open the map and prove otherwise with a deep dive into Big Bend's peaks, canyons, and night skies—and we brought the region's top insider, Robert Alvarez of Visit Big Bend, to guide the way. From the first “don't speed in small towns” lesson to the last stargazing tip, this journey is built for travelers who want to plan well and wander slow.www.VisitBigBend.comWe break down the real differences between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park so you can match your trip to your style. The national park delivers paved access, the Chisos Basin, the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, Santa Elena Canyon, and family-friendly trailheads. The state park trades polish for solitude: high-clearance roads, rugged terrain, and some of the best mountain biking in Texas. Robert shares how to time your visit around the Chisos Basin renovations, why the Rio Grande can surprise you, and where to chase fossils, history, and birds—including the elusive Lucifer hummingbird in the Christmas Mountains.If logistics make or break your trips, you'll love the practical run of tips: top off your gas before the gate, download offline maps, lock your phone to Central Time, and choose your vehicle wisely. A sedan can reach the headliners, but a high-clearance SUV or guided Jeep tour unlocks Balanced Rock and backcountry gems. We talk safety without fearmongering—pack more water than you think, respect sun and distance, give wildlife space—and we make room for wonder. Sotol Vista, the Marathon star party, and dark-sky pullouts turn the Milky Way from a photo into a memory.Ready to design a trip you'll actually savor?

What happens when discipline replaces destruction… and faith silences the noise? In this raw, full-circle, no-BS episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with lifelong friend Beau Jolly, husband, father, athlete, entrepreneur, to unpack a story that hits harder than a Sunday sermon and cuts deeper than a business book ever could.  Sobriety.  Faith rediscovered.  Discipline forged through pain.  Brotherhood over isolation. Beau opens up about drifting from God, battling unhealthy patterns, hitting a quiet breaking point in 2023, and the 3 a.m. prayer that changed everything. He explains what it really means to “take the parachute off your relationship with God” and why obedience, not motivation, is the true catalyst for transformation. This episode goes way beyond inspiration. You'll hear: Why most men stay stuck in shame, and how to break free How discipline in your body spills into your business, marriage, and faith The dangerous cost of isolation (and why accountability is non-negotiable) Why serving others is the fastest way out of your own pit How faith-filled grit beats talent every single time WARNING: This conversation may challenge your habits, your excuses, and the version of you that's been playing small.

A trusted priest with a collar and a gun walked into a funeral home, and two lives were cut down in cold blood, shaking a small Midwestern town to its core. What was Father Ryan Erickson hiding behind his vows and sacred duties?In February 2002, life in Hudson, Wisconsin was upended when funeral home director Dan O'Connell and his young intern James Ellison were found shot to death in broad daylight. The case went cold for years, until shocking leads surfaced pointing to a charismatic Catholic priest whose life of rigid conservatism, secrets, and misconduct may have masked something far darker. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we unpack how allegations of abuse, a failure in both the system and the church, and a double homicide intersect with broader questions about power, identity, and justice in small town America. True crime with a queer perspective isn't just about the mystery, it's about the systems that let these horrors persist.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ true crime history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver stumble into a story that starts as a routine travel headache and spirals into something far stranger. A delayed flight, a single social media post, and a phone call that should never have happened collide in a way that leaves Kevin asking a very real question about lines being crossed and consequences that might follow. What begins as frustration turns unsettling when Kevin realizes the situation is not just bad service, but something more personal and far more inappropriate. The reaction to that realization is raw, immediate, and very Kevin Nash. The discussion pulls listeners into the moment where confusion turns into anger and disbelief. From there, the conversation widens into accountability, corporate responsibility, and how much power an individual actually has when a system closes ranks. Kevin weighs his options out loud, balancing principle against exhaustion, and wondering how far someone should really push back. The episode does not stay in one lane for long. As always, the show drifts into wrestling, media, and cultural commentary, with Kevin offering unfiltered opinions that challenge accepted narratives and question who really controls the stories fans are told. By the time the episode ends, the title feels less rhetorical than it first appears. The audience is left with the same question Kevin is wrestling with, and the uneasy sense that the answer is not as simple as it should be.
