They wanted help integrating peptides into their membership program, and in return they invited me to actually go through their diagnostics as a member so I could experience the process firsthand. I went to their Orlando, Florida facility and did what would normally take seven or eight different doctor visits and specialists… all in one place, in one morning.The first part of this episode is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of my Day 1 testing, including imaging and data collection that gives you a real baseline to work from. If you're listening to audio-only, I highly recommend watching the video for that segment because it's very visual. The second part is the main event: a long-form conversation with Fountain Life's medical director and CEO, Dr. Bill Cap.In the podcast, we go deep on the real history of peptides, why so much foundational work came out of places like Russia, and why the U.S. is only now starting to catch up. We talk about what's hype, what's timeless, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to longevity and performance. We also get into where peptides are headed next, because as we roll into 2026, the peptide landscape may look a little different than what people have gotten used to over the last few years.We cover a ton of ground: GLP-1s as a legitimate longevity tool when used intelligently, growth hormone peptide strategies and why cycling matters, mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 and MOTS-c, and why “baseline first” is the missing piece for most people who jump into supplements, peptides, and biohacking without understanding what's going on under the hood.This isn't a paid advertisement. I'm documenting what I'm going through, what my results show, and how I'm thinking about using peptides and other interventions based on real data instead of guesswork. If you've ever wanted to see what “precision prevention” actually looks like in the real world, this episode is a great place to start.

Chris Simonsen joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how communities can close the gap that makes young people vulnerable to trafficking—not with rescue mentalities, but with trauma-informed care, consistent relationships, and spaces where young people feel safe enough to stay. Chris Simonsen Chris Simonsen is the Chief Executive Officer of Orangewood Foundation, one of Orange County's leading organizations serving youth who have experienced abuse, neglect, homelessness, and exploitation. With more than fifteen years at the helm and over three decades of executive leadership experience, Simonsen oversees a comprehensive continuum of care that includes housing, education, transitional support, wellness services, and specialized programs for youth who have been exploited or trafficked. Under his leadership, Orangewood has expanded its focus on intervention for children and Transitional Age Youth (TAY), emphasizing strategies that prevent revictimization, stabilize immediate crises, and strengthen long-term resilience. Simonsen's leadership is shaped by a commitment to relationship-based, trauma-informed care and a theory of change rooted in the belief that consistent adult support, safe environments, and practical resources dramatically alter a young person's trajectory. Key Points Orangewood Foundation made a strategic decision ten years ago to remove all labeling criteria for their programs, allowing them to serve any teen or young adult in need regardless of foster care status or county of residence, which caused the organization to grow from 40 to 250 employees. The number one priority when working with vulnerable youth is building a trusting relationship and creating a safe environment where they feel comfortable, which can take weeks or months before meaningful goal-setting work can begin. Young people without support structures are highly vulnerable to traffickers, and their trauma is so much more complex that Orangewood created dedicated programming including the Lighthouse transitional housing program and Project Choice drop-in center specifically for survivors and at-risk youth. Prevention work must address the developmental realities of youth who haven't had long-term stability or supportive infrastructure, including implementing social-emotional support in schools through programs like advisory groups that stay together for four years. The role of loneliness and connection is critical—young people need to build their own communities and peer support networks, not just rely on organizational staff, to develop healthy relationships and long-term resilience. For those wanting to help, the most effective approach is to support existing trauma-informed organizations through volunteering, donations, or collaboration rather than starting new nonprofits, and to get educated on what human trafficking really is before attempting direct intervention. Schools need to dedicate more resources to the social-emotional aspects of teenagers' lives, not just academics, and provide direct education to students about trafficking prevention at appropriate age levels without parental pushback. The Ending Human Trafficking Collaborative led by the Samueli Foundation exemplifies how community education and cross-sector partnerships can strengthen prevention efforts by bringing together experts and philanthropists to direct resources where they're most needed.

Your body is the only place you have to live. Isn't it time to start listening to what it's telling you?Dr. Sherry McAllister, President of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and author of "Adjusted Reality," joins Brigitte Cutshall to discuss the transformative power of chiropractic care. Both women share their journeys from a debilitating car accident to discovering drug-free healing through proper spinal alignment. Dr. McAllister explains how modern sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and daily choices impact our nervous system and overall wellbeing. 3 Key Takeaways:(1) Prevention over reaction. Chiropractors focus on keeping you healthy rather than just treating illness, addressing the root cause of discomfort before it becomes chronic pain or disease.(2) Small daily choices compound. Everything from your shoes and pillow to your desk setup and posture affects your body's alignment; making one small improvement each day creates significant change over time.(3) The body heals itself. Proper nervous system alignment enables your body's natural healing abilities to function optimally, often eliminating the need for pain medication and supporting overall vitality.Find a chiropractor near you at https://f4cp.org/findadoctorLearn more about preventative care and optimal living at https://f4cp.org/adjustedreality and to get Dr. McAllister's book.

New episode

A last-minute push from Democrats and four moderate Republicans will force a House vote on renewing enhanced premium tax credits for Affordable Care Act plans, but not until January. That means millions will have to choose between paying dramatically more or dropping coverage next year. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially drops the federal recommendation for newborns to receive a hepatitis B shot. Tami Luhby of CNN, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Lizzy Lawrence of Stat join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Tony Leys, who wrote the latest “Bill of the Month” feature, and the panel discusses the year's biggest developments in health policy.  Plus, for a special year-end “extra-credit” segment, the panelists suggest what they consider 2025's biggest health policy themes: Julie Rovner: The future of the workforce in biomedical research and health care. Lizzy Lawrence: The politicization of science. Tami Luhby: The systemic impacts of cuts to the Medicaid program. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The resurgence of infectious diseases. 

In pediatric practice, few topics are as foundational and scientifically grounded as vaccinations. This season, a major shift in federal vaccine advisory guidance has sparked fresh discussion about how we protect infants from hepatitis B. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's advisory committee on immunization practices voted to revise the more than 30-year guidance around the universal birth-dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine. In this episode, our goal is to provide clarity for clinicians on the best vaccination approach for our youngest patients.  For this important discussion, we are joined by Sean O'Leary, MD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children's Colorado, as well as a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases, otherwise known as the Red Book Committee.  Some highlights from this episode include: The history of hepatitis B infection in children in the U.S.  Why the birth dose has been such a critical part of prevention  Breaking down the recent decision by the CDC advisory committee  Recommendations for this vaccine moving forward For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Today we cover another branch of safety of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), that is explosion prevention in mitigation. I always thought you can either end with a fire or with an explosion, and boy I was wrong... but we will go back to this later. Now I bring on Dr. Lorenz Boeck (REMBE) and Nick Bartlett (Atar Fire) to unpack how gas released during thermal runaway turns a container into a deflagration hazard, and what it takes to design systems that actually manage the pressure, flame, and fallout. This is a tour through real incident learnings, rigorous lab data, and the evolving standards that now shape best practice.We start with the fundamentals: from the overview given by NFPA855, why modern BESS enclosures—with higher energy density and less free volume—see faster pressure rise, how gas composition varies by cell and manufacturer, and why stratification matters when lighter hydrogen-rich mixtures sit above heavier electrolyte vapors. From there, we translate UL 9540A outputs—gas quantity, composition, flammability limits, burning velocity—into engineering decisions. NFPA 69's prevention path typically relies on gas detection and mechanical ventilation designed to keep concentrations below 25% LFL, validated with CFD to capture obstructions, sensor placement, fan ramp, and louver timing. NFPA 68's mitigation path kicks in if ignition happens, with certified vent panels sized to the actual reactivity and geometry, relieving pressure and directing flame away from exposures.A major takeaway: the latest NFPA 855 now often pushes for both prevention and protection. Even with active ventilation, partial-volume deflagration hazards remain, especially as cell capacities rise and gas volumes scale up. We dig into venting trade-offs—roof vs sidewall, snow and hail loading, heat flux to back-to-back units—and how targeted sidewall venting can deflect flame upward while reducing weather vulnerabilities. Perhaps most critical, we talk about late deflagrations observed hours into large-scale fire tests, when changing ventilation conditions allow pockets to ignite. Active systems aren't built to operate throughout a long fire, so passive venting becomes essential during and after ignition.Whether you're a fire engineer, AHJ, insurer, or developer, this conversation connects the dots between lab data, CFD, and field realities. You'll leave with a clearer view of how to apply UL 9540A, NFPA 68, NFPA 69, and NFPA 855 in a world of stacked containers and supersized cells—plus where training can shorten your learning curve. If you are interested by the course given by colleagues in Lund in January 2026 - here it is: https://www.atarfire.com/event-details/nfpa-855-8-hour-training-lund-university----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

What if thousands of men are losing their sexual function treating a cancer that was never going to kill them? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Zimberg — board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York — to unpack the truth about prostate cancer screening, overtreatment, and what every man over 40 needs to know. Dr. Zimberg reveals that the prostate cancer industry has an overtreatment problem — and genomic testing is exposing which tumors need aggressive treatment and which don't. We break down why PSA is broken, why Gleason scores don't tell the full story, and how cadaver studies show men from their 20s to 80s harbor prostate cancer cells that never become clinically significant. We also dive into the science behind radiation therapy, the BioProtect balloon spacer (Dr. Zimberg has performed nearly 2,000 — more than anyone in the world), and the cutting-edge radioligand therapy changing outcomes for stage 4 prostate cancer. If you're a man, love a man, or work with men in health or performance, this is essential listening. About the guest:Dr. Shawn Zimberg is a board-certified radiation oncologist, medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, and director of radiation oncology at Bronx Care Hospital. He trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has pioneered the use of rectal spacer technology in prostate cancer treatment, having performed nearly 2,000 PioProtect balloon procedures — more than any other physician in the world. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

The recently passed Pennsylvania state budget includes more money for tuberculosis prevention efforts in the Commonwealth. Federal data show cases of TB steadily rising nationally after nearly three decades of decline. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is establishing a rural residency program in an effort to bolster the rural doctor workforce. Here’s how it works: Residents start at UPMC Williamsport before transferring to either UPMC Wellsboro or UPMC Cole in Coudersport. Both locations are in Pennsylvania’s northern tier known as the Pennsylvania Wilds region. In Cumberland County, an 80-year-old woman was found dead after a house fire early Sunday morning, according to the Cumberland County Coroner's Office. State officials discovered a month's worth of mail wasn't sent by a government-contracted mail house over the past month. The backlog of mail totals 3.4 million letters, including notices of SNAP eligibility and health benefit information, as well as driver’s license and vehicle registration renewal invitations from PennDOT. Pennsylvania lawmakers could end the year with the lowest number of new laws in at least a decade. That's due to split government, heightened partisanship, and the concentration of power in the hands of legislative leaders, according to reporting by our partners at Spotlight PA. Sunday marked the beginning of Hanukkah. The city of Lancaster and the Jewish Community Alliance of Lancaster hosted a menorah lighting in Penn Square.

fWotD Episode 3147: Littlehampton libels Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 16 December 2025, is Littlehampton libels.The Littlehampton libels were a series of letters sent to numerous residents of Littlehampton, in southern England, over a three-year period between 1920 and 1923. The letters, which contained obscenities and false accusations, were written by Edith Swan, a thirty-year-old laundress; she tried to incriminate her neighbour, Rose Gooding, a thirty-year-old married woman. Swan and Gooding had once been friends, but after Swan made a false report to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children accusing Gooding of maltreating one of her sister's children, the letters started arriving. Many of them were signed as if from Gooding. Swan brought a private prosecution against Gooding for libel; in December 1920 Gooding was found guilty and imprisoned for two weeks. On her release the letters started again, and Swan brought a second private prosecution against Gooding. In February 1921 Gooding was again found guilty and imprisoned for twelve months.While Gooding was in prison, two notebooks were found in Littlehampton. They contained further obscenities and falsehoods and were in the same handwriting as the letters. As a result, Gooding's case came to the attention of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Archibald Bodkin, who thought that there had been a miscarriage of justice. An investigation by Scotland Yard cleared Gooding of involvement in sending the letters and she was released from prison. When the letters started up again, the focus of police attention moved to Swan and she was put under surveillance. She was seen to drop a libellous letter and prosecuted in December 1921. Despite the evidence against her, the judge intervened in the prosecution's questioning and the case collapsed.In early 1922 the letters began arriving again. By October the police and detectives from the General Post Office (GPO) were involved, all targeting Swan. GPO detectives caught Swan sending another libellous letter in June 1923. She was arrested, found guilty and imprisoned for a year. In 2023 a film about the events, Wicked Little Letters, was released; it stars Olivia Colman as Swan and Jessie Buckley as Gooding. A similar case of libellous letters being sent over several years was reported in 2024, in the village of Shiptonthorpe, East Yorkshire; parallels were observed with the events at Littlehampton.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:57 UTC on Tuesday, 16 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Littlehampton libels on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show that unpacks how these medicines are reshaping health, lifestyle, and the science of weight loss.Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a glucagon like peptide one medicine originally approved for type two diabetes that also leads to significant weight reduction. Clinical trials like the STEP program, published in journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine and summarized by the journal Obesity, show average weight loss around fifteen percent of body weight over a little more than a year when combined with lifestyle changes.Real world reports collected by MedShadow describe how some people see dramatic improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and joint pain, while others struggle with nausea, constipation, heartburn, or even mood changes. One long term study cited by MedShadow found that people who stopped semaglutide regained about seventy percent of the weight they had lost, highlighting that this often works best as a long term treatment, not a quick fix.According to Rutgers University Camden, most studies so far run only one to two years and show ten to fifteen percent weight loss, but also high discontinuation rates due to side effects or access problems. That raises big questions about sustainability, cost, and what it means for body image to live in an era where powerful appetite changing drugs are widely used.There is also breaking science beyond injectable Ozempic. Advisory Board reports that Novo Nordisk has developed an oral semaglutide pill that produced about sixteen and a half percent weight loss over sixty four weeks, similar to the injection, and has been submitted for approval. Eli Lilly is developing another pill, orforglipron, which led to about twelve percent weight loss in trials without strict food timing rules, making it potentially easier to take.Then there isn't just double, but triple hormone targeting on the horizon. Advisory Board and ABC News describe retatrutide, sometimes called the triple G drug, which mimics three gut hormones. In early trials, people on the highest dose lost around twenty four to almost twenty nine percent of their body weight in about a year to sixteen months, and those with knee arthritis also reported large reductions in pain. These drugs are not yet approved, but multiple large phase three trials are underway.At the same time, researchers in Sweden, writing in the journal Cell and reported by outlets like Fox News and Prevention, are testing a completely different approach, an oral drug sometimes called ATR two five eight that acts more like exercise in a pill. Instead of mainly reducing appetite like Ozempic, it boosts muscle metabolism, improves blood sugar, increases fat burning, and seems to preserve muscle mass, at least in early animal and phase one human studies. If future trials confirm this, it could be combined with glucagon like peptide one drugs to protect muscle while enhancing weight loss.There may even be brain benefits. Science Daily recently covered an analysis suggesting that people with type two diabetes using glucagon like peptide one medicines such as Ozempic, Trulicity, or Victoza were less likely to develop epilepsy, hinting that these drugs might have protective effects in the brain. That research is still emerging, but it adds to ongoing studies on dementia, stroke, and other neurologic conditions.So where does all of this leave you as a listener trying to make sense of the Ozempic era? The evidence shows that semaglutide and related medicines can deliver double digit percentage weight loss, improve blood sugar, and reduce some obesity related risks. But they can cause side effects, are often expensive, and may need to be taken long term to keep the weight off. New pills and next generation drugs promise more convenience, more weight loss, and possibly fewer trade offs like muscle loss, yet they also raise fresh questions about safety, access, and how these medicines will change daily life, from what and how we eat to how we think about our bodies.On future episodes of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, we will dive deeper into personal stories, long term safety data, mental health, and practical tips for living well on these medicines, or deciding when they are not the right fit.Thank you for tuning in, and please remember to subscribe so you never miss an update on this fast moving world of Ozempic and weight loss science.This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Angel Abuelo, AABP member on faculty at Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Abuelo presented at the 2025 AABP Recent Graduate Conference in Norman, Okla. on managing Salmonella Dublin. AABP members can listen to this presentation for free by accessing the online CE portal on this page or download the BCI Mobile Conference app from your device's store.  Salmonella Dublin is a host-adapted pathogen that results in high morbidity and mortality due to the systemic nature of the disease in calves and in most cases, the pathogen exhibits multi-drug resistance. This pathogen also has implications for human health as a zoonotic disease. Abuelo discusses the clinical presentation in calves is primarily respiratory disease and the carrier state that can be seen in adult cows that serve as a continuous reservoir to maintain the disease on a farm. Diagnostics should include multiple tissues from deceased calves that are necropsied. The best sample to submit in live calves is not feces, but aseptically collected blood cultures.  Abuelo discusses the nuances of treatment in affected calves and due to multi-drug resistance, response to therapy can be poor or lead to a carrier state in recovered animals. Although enrofloxacin is labeled for treatment of bovine respiratory disease, it is not specifically labeled for treatment of Salmonella Dublin and extralabel use of fluoroquinolones in food animals is prohibited by the FDA.  Prevention of the disease is multifactorial and includes all aspects of proper neonatal calf management including adequate and timely pasteurized colostrum, maternity pen management, ventilation, sanitation and nutrition. Abuelo also discusses the use of vaccines in cows and calves to manage the disease on endemically infected farms to prevent outbreaks. Continued research on managing this disease, including the use of vaccines and improved diagnostics, will be important topics for veterinarians and producers who are managing this pathogen. REFERENCES: Frye E, Jennings C, Kremer K.

Prevention beats recovery every time, especially when the threat is already inside your walls. Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, I want to share a great conversation with Kevin Donahue. Kevin is the founder and CEO of Stealth Family in Nashville, along with his partners, a former FBI supervisory agent from the Cyber Task Force and a legendary music attorney who's been in Nashville since '87. Together they're bringing enterprise-grade cybersecurity protection to high net worth families and individuals. Kevin shared that hackers often lurk in your systems for six to 18 months before taking action, waiting for the right moment. The challenge he faces is the same one I see with home warranty companies and insurance providers. Most people only call after something bad happens. So, we talked about positioning these threats as "avoidable surprises" rather than mistakes, and how focusing on protecting kids and elderly parents creates a natural doorway into the bigger conversation about all the ways families are vulnerable. We also explored the idea of covering even the sloppiest cybersecurity habits, making protection easy for people who don't want to change their behavior. If you're in any business where prevention is the product, there's a lot to think about here.   Key Takeaways: The average hacker is already in your system right now, quietly watching for 6-18 months before they strike at the perfect moment—a home purchase, a wire transfer, a death in the family. Calling threats "avoidable surprises" instead of "biggest mistakes" completely changes how people respond. Nobody admits to making mistakes, but everyone wants to avoid a surprise. There's no 911 for cybercrime. The sheriff can't help, the feds won't touch it unless you've lost a quarter million, and by the time you call for help, it's usually too late. The biggest leap in "know, like, trust" isn't getting people to trust you. It's getting them to know you exist in the first place. When your product is complex, find a doorway: focusing on protecting kids or elderly parents opens the conversation to everything else a family needs. The best prevention businesses don't ask people to change their behavior. They promise to cover even the sloppiest habits, like a pill that lets you lose weight without dieting.        Show Links: ProfitActivatorScore.com BreakthroughDNA.com 90minutebooks.com

While getting an annual mammogram is pretty commonplace for many women, the testing isn't always accessible for many reasons: language barriers, a lack of insurance or being underinsured, the inability to get to a clinic, and childcare issues, just to name a few. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Mammography Van has a solution for that. The hospital has packed up a full mammography suite into a van, making stops around Greater Boston to ensure everyone can get a scan who needs it. Tia Goodman, the Program Director for the Mammography Van, joins the show this week with details.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. is in the midst of its biggest overhaul yet to childhood vaccinations, and it is already impacting how families are thinking about immunizing their children. President Donald Trump recently directed a review of the longstanding childhood vaccine schedule. And just last week, an influential vaccine panel recommended dropping the universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, even though medical associations said they lacked evidence and data to support the change. Today on “Post Reports,” national health reporter Lena Sun breaks down the implications of dropping the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and how, if the change is approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it could affect children's health nationwide. Then, host Martine Powers speaks with Dr. Nola Jean Ernest about how a growing skepticism toward vaccines is affecting her practice and how she is managing to make the case to patients in the Wiregrass region of Alabama that vaccines matter.Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was edited by Peter Bresnan and mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks to editor Fenit Nirappil. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel voted to end a recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. That guidance had been in place for more than 30 years. Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that can cause severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and cancer.The members of this panel, known as ACIP, were handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior. That's after he abruptly fired all the previous 17 members of the panel earlier this year. That which led top officials at the CDC to resign in protest.His new members have publicly stated they want to revisit the entire childhood vaccine schedule. And after the panel's recent meeting, President Donald Trump expressed support for such a review.How will ending the recommended Hepatitis B shot for newborns affect public health? And what's next for childhood vaccinations?Find more of our programs online.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Corinna Bellizzi — an omega-3 expert, industry pioneer, and pro-planet health advocate who's spent over 20 years transforming essential fats. We explore resilience, health sovereignty, sustainability, and the nutrient most people are deficient in: omega-3s.1. Corinna's Story: Curiosity & GritCorinna's career wasn't built on luck, but on:Insatiable curiosityRefusing the first “no”She shared how being told she'd “never be a runner” led her to finish the Boston Marathon, showing her belief that most people are capable of far more than they think. Her superpower? Seeing possibility where others see barriers.2. Scaling a Tiny Omega CompanyCorinna grew one of the world's top omega-3 brands from under $1M to over $100M across 36 markets. Her approach combined sales mastery, education, science-first messaging, and sustainability advocacy. But even the best fish oil companies had ecological costs, leading her to algae — the original source of EPA and DHA.3. Fish Oil vs. AlgaeKey point: Fish don't make omega-3s — algae does. Algae-based omegas are:3x more bioavailable than fish oilFree from microplastics & heavy metalsEthical and sustainablePart of a regenerative system that helps the planetAt Orlo Nutrition, Corinna is pioneering polar lipid omega-3s, which the body absorbs far better than fish oil or krill.4. Signs of DeficiencyOmega-3 deficiency is common due to cooking oils, low fish intake, and nutrient-poor foods. Symptoms often hidden in “normal” struggles: brain fog, low mood, poor sleep, dry skin, inflammation, joint discomfort, cravings, hormonal imbalances, and slow recovery. Every cell needs omega-3s — without it, inflammation and cellular rigidity rise.5. Omega-3 Index TestThe Omega-3 Index Test measures EPA & DHA in red blood cells:Optimal: 8–12%Average American: 3–4%Corinna's result: 6.37% on two Orlo softgels daily, moving to three brings her into the optimal zone. Orlo includes two Omega-3 Index Tests in the first six months.6. Why Most Supplements FailLow doses, poor bioavailability, and synthetic forms mean many supplements don't work. Corinna explains why bioavailable omegas, methylated B vitamins, and quality greens are worth it — not for biohacking, but for basic human function.7. Investing in HealthWe reframed supplement cost:“Expensive compared to what? Prevention always costs less than correction.”Small, consistent investments in real food + smart supplementation save money and health long-term.8. Corinna's Four Health PillarsWhat you eatWhat you drinkHow you moveHow you sleepOmega-3s support cellular function, recovery, mood, hormones, sleep, and cognition. You don't need 30 supplements — just the right few consistently.Key TakeawaysOmega-3 deficiency is a hidden health crisisAlgae-based omegas are cleaner and more effective than fish oilPrevention is always cheaper than treatmentSmall, consistent health investments compound over timeListen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says he'd like to see the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines phased out and eventually removed from the market.Redfield led the CDC from 2018 to 2021. While an avid proponent of vaccines in general, he hopes that the fallout from the emergency-authorized mRNA vaccines will lead to a broader recognition that vaccine manufacturers must no longer be exempt from liability.Redfield is a clinical virologist who, prior to his appointment as CDC director in 2018, spent decades in HIV/AIDS research and clinical care, including service in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and later at the University of Maryland, where he co-founded the Institute of Human Virology.Over the past few years, he's been at the forefront of treating patients who were injured by the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.In my interview with him, we covered at length the many hot topics and questions surrounding the recent pandemic and our pandemic response, among them:How and why was the true origin of SARS-COV-2 suppressed? What indicators were there early on that the virus was likely leaked from a lab? What did Dr. Redfield know from classified documents at the beginning of 2020?What were the most significant missteps America made in its response to the pandemic?Is there a role for gain-of-function research in America? Or should it be outlawed?What is the future of mRNA technology? Should mRNA technology be used for vaccines at all?Why weren't the vaccine-injured publicly acknowledged and adequately cared for? What kinds of reforms are needed in America's public health system?Redfield's new book is titled “Redfield's Warning: What I Learned (but Couldn't Tell You) Might Save Your Life.”He argues a lab-created bird flu may be the next pandemic. But are we prepared?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention are rolling back a decades-old standard for childhood vaccination. An advisory committee is recommending that vaccines for Hepatitis B no longer be given to every child. UW Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Helen Chu will tell us why and what could change.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa sits down with Valentina Lana, a Paris-based attorney and ethics & compliance leader who bridges industry and academia.   Valentina shares how an early-career opportunity sparked her passion for anti-corruption work and led her to where she is today.  She has helped build major compliance programs and teaches at Sciences Po.  She worked with Michael Sapin on the Sapin II law and breaks down its core elements for the GWIC audience.  She discusses the requirement for companies to prevent corruption through formal compliance programs—and highlights why risk mapping and third-party due diligence remain the biggest practical challenges for organizations. Valentina also discusses the evolution of cross-border cooperation between France and the U.S., how trust was built after years of tension, and why she believes that the partnership remains stable despite shifting global priorities.  She shares her view on AI's growing role in compliance, emphasizing that AI is a powerful assistant, not a replacement for human judgment, nuance, and interpersonal insight, which remain the core of what we do.

As NPR reports, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisors have recommended narrowing the hepatitis B immunization guidance for newborns. The result would be a rollback of a practice credited with dramatically lowering disease. But some states are already stepping in to issue guidance of their own to circumvent the process. It can be confusing for parents. We discuss it with pediatricians. Our guests: Elizabeth Murray, D.O., pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital Strong at the University of Rochester Medical Center Justin Rosati, M.D., assistant professor of neurology in the child neurology division at the University of Rochester Medical Center David Topa, M.D., vice president of New York Chapter 1 of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and assistant medical director at RIT's Student Health Center ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

A federal vaccine advisory committee recently voted to end the decades-old recommendation that all U.S. newborns get a hepatitis B vaccine dose at birth. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted that only infants born to mothers who test positive for hepatitis B — or whose infection status is unknown — are recommended to get that first dose immediately. The vote could result in new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is a dramatic shift from the CDC's current policy, which was adopted in 1991 and is credited with reducing childhood hepatitis B infections by more than 95 percent. MPR News guest host Chris Farrell talks with a pediatrician and an infectious disease researcher about what the new recommendation means for families, hospitals and communities in Minnesota that are disproportionately affected by the liver infection.Guests:Dr. Leslie King-Schultz is a pediatrician at Hennepin Healthcare where she co-chairs their vaccine committee.Angela Ulrich is a researcher and infectious disease epidemiologist with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. She was one of the lead authors on the Vaccine Integrity Project's recent report about the safety and effectiveness of the hepatitis B vaccination at birth. 

Beating the Loneliness Epidemic: How ACE's Dr. Cedric Bryant and Dr. Sabrena Jo Help Us Add People to Our Years Live Long Better: Not Old Better and American Council on Exercise Today's show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day. If I told you there was a health risk that could quietly raise your chances of early death by roughly 25 to 30 percent… and it wasn't diabetes, blood pressure, or cholesterol… you'd probably lean in. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29%, and lacking social connection can be as dangerous as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. HHS+1 So here's the question for all of us over 60: we count our steps, we count our meds… who's helping us count our people? Welcome to Live Long Better. I'm your host, and today we're tackling the loneliness epidemic head‑on—with movement and community as the prescription Joining us are two leaders from the American Council on Exercise, or ACE. First, our ongoing member of the team, Dr. Sabrena Jo, Senior Director of Science and Education, whose work focuses on how pro‑aging, inclusive fitness and community‑based movement can turn a lonely workout into a welcoming social circle. And we're also joined by Dr. Cedric Bryant, Chief Executive Officer at ACE. Cedric spends his days at the table with organizations like the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, championing physical activity as essential public health. ACE Fitness He's authored more than 300 articles and over 40 books, holds a doctorate in physiology from Penn State—where he received the university's Distinguished Alumni Award—and he lives the ACE mission personally with regular exercise, pickleball, golf, and even coaching youth sports. ACE Fitness Cedric often says, "Some activity is better than none, and more is better than some. Every little bit counts." ACE Fitness+1 We'll talk about how that simple idea scales up—from one older adult taking a short walk with a neighbor, to ACE's 40 Forward initiative, a 40th‑anniversary effort to "shape the future of fitness together" by building more inclusive, community‑driven opportunities to move in every kind of neighborhood. ACE Fitness+2ACE Fitness+2 If your contact list has gotten smaller while your pill organizer has gotten bigger, this episode is for you. Because today, we're not just talking about adding years to your life… we're talking about adding people to your years. Stay with us—Dr. Sabrena Jo and Dr. Cedric Bryant are coming up next.

Is microdosing more effective than macrodosing? While heavy-handed megadoses of synthetic pharmaceuticals attempt to dominate a single biochemical pathway, microdoses of synergistic botanticals can stimulate the body to normalize, balance and heal itself.Meanwhile, much of modern medicine has devolved into a game of manipulating numbers on blood tests rather than actually healing you. Because they're not so easily patented and monetized, many of the most effective, affordable and simple substances and practices in health and longevity are dismissed, ignored, or at the very least taken for granted. For instance, did you know that the simple act of prayer has been scientifically proven to not only improve mental health, but also improve the literal physical health of the heart?Deep breathing, gratitude, meditation, and prayer steady the vagus nerve and allow our bodies to remain flexible and adaptable, downregulating our nervous system from fight-or-flight into a relaxed parasympathetic state. The truth is, we don't need to wait for the next miracle pill to save us. We already know more than enough to put life-saving practices into action today.
