This episode reveals how fasting is the most powerful tool for preventing cardiovascular disease and reversing metabolic dysfunction that affects 88% of Americans. Dr. Scott and Tommy explain why fasting goes far beyond weight loss to address the root cause of heart disease: insulin resistance and dangerous blood sugar variability. Discover how consistent fasting protocols can dramatically reduce your risk when every 1% increase in A1C levels raises heart problems by 12%, major cardiovascular events by 8%, and heart-related kidney issues by 17%. Learn why diabetics with the highest blood sugar swings face 2.5 times higher heart disease risk - and how fasting flattens these dangerous glucose spikes. The hosts break down how fasting reverses metabolic syndrome (affecting 25% of the population) and helps the 70-80 million undiagnosed pre-diabetics who have normal A1C but dangerously high fasting insulin levels. Understand how fasting prevents the "rust on a bumper" effect of cardiovascular disease that develops slowly over decades. Get specific fasting strategies for reducing glycemic variability, controlling insulin spikes, and using intermittent fasting as cardiovascular protection. This episode reveals why monitoring fasting insulin during your fasting journey is more important than cholesterol panels, and how consistent fasting protocols reverse the inflammatory cascade leading to heart disease, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. Essential for anyone using fasting to prevent cardiovascular disease and optimize metabolic health for life. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

45. Are you craving this July 4th weekend like water after a drought? That sense of spaciousness you feel when you finally unplug—imagine having that every single week. Here's the hard truth: 59% of employees report feeling burned out very often or always (Gallup, 2024). The WHO found that working 55+ hours increases stroke risk by 35%. Our always-on culture is literally killing us—and traditional "solutions" aren't working.But what if instead of managing burnout after it happens, we could prevent it from ever taking root?As someone who job shared for nearly a decade starting when my daughter was 6 months old, I can tell you: job sharing doesn't just reduce burnout—it eliminates it completely. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how job sharing flips the script on overwork culture.In Episode 45, you'll discover:5 ways job sharing prevents burnout before it startsHow I got 13 consecutive days off using only 3 vacation daysWhy job sharers perform 30% better than full-time employeesThe boundary accountability that keeps you actually off when you're offIf you're tired of glorifying overwork and ready to eliminate burnout instead of just managing it, job sharing might be your answer.

In this short but impactful solo episode, Andrew dives into a common misconception in training: that more is always better. If you—or someone you know—are training hard 6–7 days a week but not seeing the progress you expect, this episode is for you. Andrew explains why piling on more volume or sessions can actually stall your progress, especially when recovery and quality are overlooked.He breaks down the principles of general adaptation and supercompensation, reminding us that adaptation only happens when training is paired with adequate recovery. In today's world of well-rounded training programs, adding more often leads to redundancy and overlapping stressors that the body can't effectively adapt to. The solution? Focus on quality over quantity and make sure every session has purpose.Whether you're an athlete, coach, or serious about performance, this episode challenges you to reframe how you approach your workload. Progress doesn't come from doing more—it comes from doing better and recovering smarter. Tune in to hear Andrew's insights and apply them to elevate your training game. Enjoy the episode!

  Episode Overview Andy reads Chapter 1 from his new book, "The Inappropriate Guide to Buying An Engagement Ring" - a no-bullshit diamond and ring buying guide for guys who'd rather be anywhere else than a jewelry store. This episode covers the single most important piece of advice for buying an engagement ring without getting screwed over. Key Takeaways The Golden Rule: Find a jewelry store where you feel comfortable going. That's it. That's the secret. Why This Matters: Walking into most jewelry stores feels unnatural for guys Everything's behind glass, salespeople hover like vultures You suddenly don't know what to do with your hands It's a special kind of hell for men who've fallen in love Finding Your Unicorn Jewelry Store: Ask friends who actually know you and get your style Search for independent jewelers online Check their reviews, website, and social media Look for their vibe - stuffy/formal vs. laid back/approachable How to Find Your "Guy on the Inside" Three Methods: Email the store - Tell them you need help. If the response feels too formal or generic, move on. Call them - A good jeweler on the phone is like a good first date - there's either chemistry or there isn't. Walk in and get down to business - Most terrifying but nothing beats face-to-face. You'll know within 5 minutes if it's your place. What Your "Guy" Should Do Ask questions about her taste and what you want to give her Address your budget head-on (it's part of the equation) Guide you like that bartender who remembers your drink and steers you toward the good stuff Make you feel like a human being, not a walking wallet with commitment issues Andy's Controversial Advice When it feels right - buy it. Don't do the "I need to look around" dance that fear makes you think you have to do. When it clicks, it clicks. Pull the trigger and be done with it. Why this works: Saves weeks of second-guessing Prevents comparing minute details that won't matter in 5 years You don't need to become a diamond expert - you need someone you trust who does this for a living The Bottom Line Find a jewelry store where you don't feel like you're standing there with your zipper open (but check that before you go in, just to be safe). Connect with someone who speaks your language, not "diamond-ese." When it feels right, trust your gut and pull the trigger. About the Book "The Inappropriate Guide to Buying An Engagement Ring" is available on Amazon. Andy is creating an audio version while keeping the podcast going by reading chapters on the show. Warning: Contains raw language, unfiltered advice, and the kind of talk you'd get from your most honest friend after a few drinks.

This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Joe, welcome to the show.  Joseph Chacon: Thank you. I appreciate it.  Allen Hall: Well, I'm glad we connected, uh, through Jon Zalar, I believe, and we don't talk electrical power creation or what that. Kind of power we're creating and what the effect of that power is on systems downstream very often, uh, the Uptime podcast, because there's so many wind turbine issues, is mostly focused on mechanical problems. But we're finding that more and more problems may have an electrical origin. We wanted to get an expert in here that would be you to come help us on harmonics because there are requirements about harmonics.  Joseph Chacon: There are, uh, IEEE five 19 governs [00:01:00] the requirements for harmonics. At the point of common coupling. Allen Hall: That's correct. And your prior experiences with ge, which is now GE Renova down in South Carolina, that's correct. But you were involved, maybe give a brief description of the things you're working on because when electrical people talk, um, kind of gets lost in translation. You were knee deep, maybe waist deep, maybe eyeballs deep and electrical  Joseph Chacon: power at GE Renova? No, not, not knee deep, not weight deep, waist deep. I was baptized, completely immersed all the way in. I came shortly after the Enron acquisition. Um, I was one of the electrical engineering managers at the time. We had, uh, I think two or three at the time. Um, this was pretty early on. Uh, I got out of that because, uh, I'm, I like management, but I, I like electrical engineering, so I wanted to go back to being an individual contributor. Um, so I've touched just about [00:02:00] every electrical thing you can think of in a wind turbine. And also in solar  Joel Saxum: as well. You know, a little bit of a sidebar here 'cause I want, we want to definitely get into this deep technical conversation, but Joe, you touched on something that happens to people, right? You're a really good engineer, you've run a team, you've solved some problems. So now you get promoted to management, but you don't get to engineer as much anymore. So you get, like, you get, you start being leadership and like doing all these things, how to manage people, how to run a team, this, that, and that's great. We need that. The industry, every industry globally, we need to be able to do those things. But for engineers that have engineer at heart, and I'm, I'm also looking at you, Alan Hall. Uh, they, they wanna be able to engineer, right? They wanna be able to do stuff to make a difference to, to, to get hands on with a problem. So, so you, so you've done that though, right? That that's you, you are now, uh, Josh Shahan is, uh, pad LLC and  Joseph Chacon: pod is short for Padre, which is what my kids and grandchildren call me. They just shortened it from Padre to podge. 'cause saying two [00:03:00]syllables was too much and I liked it.  Joel Saxum: Yeah, I like that. Okay, so, so, so like we said, uh, you, you, you guys, you're getting deep into harmonics and other issues. You get called in by Solar Farms to solve problems and, and this is the thing Alan and I were kind of talking about off air a little bit is.

Yeah, we're really interested to, to talk to you today just because there's so many blade root issues from pitch bearings and blade bushings or inserts as they're called sometimes, and a number of other issues. And when we talk to operators, what they tell us is, oh, we, you use ecoPITCH. And they love that system. But I want to, I wanna back up first and talk about what are some of the operators experiencing out there in the field And ecoPITCH system was originally developed to look at pitch bearing problems and forests. What are some of those pitch bearing problems you're seeing out in the field today? Forrest French: Yeah, so it, it, it's a funny story. It was originally developed for pitch bearing, uh, applications. Um, the industry as a whole started experiencing this root insert issue, so we were able to, we were kind of in a perfect position, right? It was, it was a, it was a [00:02:00] really serendipitous thing that we, we had just developed this product and we could easily pivot. To measure both the pitch bearing and this root insert issue. Uh, the, the pitch bearing issues are admittedly the, the more difficult, uh, issue, right? To measure. Um, there's, there's some, some great opportunities for value and there's also some really good challenges to come along with that. Um, pitch bearings, uh, they, they don't rotate quickly. Right. Uh, when, when we talk about typical CMS typical vibration monitoring, you're looking at a very, very fast rotating, uh, shaft or bearing, et cetera, and you're able to pick up on those frequencies as they revolve. You don't get that with a pitch bearing. It's a very slow moving, uh, slewing bearing. Um, so picking up. Noise through vibration can be very difficult, uh, because again, you don't get that frequency of that [00:03:00] rotation, so you're left with nothing but uh, a bunch of noise. Right. And you're hoping that that noise floor is low enough that you might capture a bit of crunching of cage material or anything like that? Right. The alternative in what, in what we use ecoPITCH for is it's very simple. We, we point a an inductive displacement sensor right at the pitch bearing itself. Typically the inner ring, depending on the type of turbine. And what we're looking for is any kind of slop or displace...

Benjamin Netanyahu's government may have announced plans to intensify its Gaza offensive and call up thousands of reservists – but "many Israelis, and especially the IDF top brass, are actually hoping that President [Donald] Trump will again intervene and reach some kind of deal," Haaretz senior security analyst Amos Harel said on the Haaretz Podcast. Pressure from the American president will be the only way Netanyahu can resist the "huge political pressure to proceed" with the escalation and a long-term military presence in Gaza placed on him by far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, Harel said. "Unless Trump decides to intervene, we might be facing a massive military operation, and in my view, that would be a disaster." Speaking with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Harel assessed the war's multiple fronts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, emphasizing that in nearly every case, the will – and whims – of the U.S. president plays a decisive role. "It's quite clear that Trump is less interested than before and talks less about the Palestinian conflict and the Gaza Riviera idea – it may be because he fears failure there. He seems to prefer to invest his time and efforts in the Saudis, Emiratis, and Qataris who are offering him trillions of dollars in deals in weapons or technology. This is what Trump is focused on."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr Steve and Drew talk about burnout. You might be doing everything right, eating well, exercising, chasing your goals, but if you're subluxated, you'll never truly fire on all cylinders. When your body is clear, everything shifts: your energy rises, your mind sharpens, your vibrancy returns, and you start seeing life through a whole new lens. There's a big difference between feeling tired and being completely burned out. Subluxation keeps your body starved for life, holding you back from your full potential.

Forgiveness is for you and not them. Is it? Maybe. On one hand it is, as forgiveness is something that we do because we submit to God and understand that he forgives us daily so we forgive so that we don't hold on to things. But is there another step to take? Why do we stop there? As we represent Christ, his grace and mercy…forgiveness actually is for the other person too. Today we're talking about forgiveness, reconciliation and the pride that prevents us from doing both. A new episode starts now.

In this episode of Human Capital, Jeff Hunt sits down with Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading researcher and author on self-compassion, to discuss how this practice can combat workplace burnout. Burnout is a widespread issue affecting employees and leaders alike, with severe consequences for productivity, well-being, and organizational health. Dr. Neff explains the three core elements of self-compassion—mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness—and how they serve as a foundation for resilience, performance, and stress management. She dispels common myths about self-compassion, such as the belief that it weakens motivation, and instead highlights how it fosters greater accountability, problem-solving, and emotional strength. Drawing from research and personal experiences, she shares insights on how leaders can create healthier work environments and support employees in recognizing and recovering from burnout. She also introduces practical self-compassion exercises that listeners can use to shift from self-criticism to self-support, ultimately improving their professional and personal lives. Listeners will walk away with actionable strategies to foster self-compassion, enhance workplace culture, and sustain long-term success without sacrificing well-being.

Make sure you have a fresh bottle of Kombucha ready for this episode! We dig into Eric's passion for his work and the importance of intellectual exercise.

The Importance of Intellectual Exercise: Because Who Doesn't Love Using Their Brain? Ah, intellectual exercise—because using your brain is apparently just as important as using your body. Who knew? In a world where scrolling through social media counts as reading and binge-watching ten seasons of a TV show in one weekend is considered "commitment," mental stimulation is somehow still relevant. Crazy, right? Now, let's talk about why flexing those mental muscles is crucial. Because, let's be honest, relying on autopilot for the rest of your life might not be the best strategy—unless, of course, you enjoy being outsmarted by your toaster. 1. Keeps Your Brain from Turning Into Mush You know what's fun? Having a brain that actually works. Just like muscles deteriorate when they aren't used, your brain also gets lazy when it's not challenged. If you think solving a crossword puzzle or reading something more complex than a fast-food menu is too much work, then congratulations—you're on the fast track to becoming a human houseplant. Keep it up, and pretty soon, forming coherent thoughts might require Google assistance. 2. Prevents the "What Was I Saying Again?" Syndrome Ah, memory loss—the fun little trick your brain plays when you treat it like an old piece of furniture. Studies suggest that engaging in intellectual activities like reading, problem-solving, and, you know, actually thinking, can help prevent cognitive decline. But sure, go ahead and rely on your phone for everything. I'm sure Siri won't mind reminding you of your own birthday in a few years. 3. Boosts Creativity—Because Original Thoughts Are Rare These Days Want to be the kind of person who actually contributes something interesting to a conversation instead of regurgitating TikTok trends? Well, congratulations, intellectual exercise is your secret weapon. Reading, debating, and analyzing ideas help develop critical thinking skills, which means you might actually have a fresh perspective on something. Imagine that—being able to form an opinion that wasn't spoon-fed to you by an algorithm. Revolutionary. 4. Makes You Less Gullible (Hopefully) Ever wonder why some people believe everything they read on the internet? Lack of intellectual exercise, my friend. A well-exercised brain can detect nonsense from a mile away. So, if you'd rather not fall for the latest conspiracy theory about how Wi-Fi signals are controlling your thoughts, maybe—just maybe—consider engaging in some critical thinking activities. 5. Gives You Something to Talk About Other Than the Weather Nobody wants to be that person at a dinner party whose conversational skills are limited to “Wow, crazy weather we're having, huh?” Reading books, learning new skills, and challenging yourself intellectually make you a more interesting person. Because let's face it—there are only so many times you can get away with saying, “I don't really read” before people start questioning your life choices. Conclusion: Use It or Lose It At the end of the day, exercising your brain is the difference between staying sharp and becoming that person who calls tech support because their computer won't turn on… only to realize it's unplugged. So, do yourself a favor—read a book, learn a language, play chess, or at the very least, do a Sudoku puzzle once in a while. Your future self (the one who actually remembers where they put their car keys) will thank you.
