The final chapter of Matthew Brunnemann's gripping three-part appearance on Mike Drop. In Part 3, the former Marine intel specialist and author of War Business: The Hired Guns of Helmand Province pulls no punches as he talks leaving the Corps, battling unseen PTSD, transitioning to civilian life, and the four-year journey to turn his private journals into a published book. He and Mike dive deep into the big-picture failures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cultural incompatibilities that doomed nation-building, what America should (and shouldn't) have done after 9/11, and why the 2021 fall of Kabul still stings. Brunnemann also unloads his controversial master's thesis: a chilling, open-source prediction of a coordinated 72-hour terrorist attack that could cripple the U.S. Raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest – this is the conclusion you don't want to miss.

In a longer timespan going back to the 1970s, initial claims are very low, despite the growth of nonfarm payrolls over the decades. They were lower only during the tight labor market of 2018 and 2019 and during the labor shortages coming out of the pandemic. Layoffs show no signs of a weakening labor market. If the labor market is weakening, it's on the job-creation side of the equation. So layoffs are low, but once laid off, it takes people longer to find a job as companies have slowed their hiring, but even that has improved since the summer.

Dickerson was charged with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. “On December 3, 2025, a federal Grand Jury returned a 25-count Indictment, charging Dickerson with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.

For each count of money laundering, Dickerson faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the amount of the criminally derived property involved in the transaction,” the DOJ said. According to the charging documents, Dickerson, through BLMOKC, raised more than $5.6 million, but rather than using the money to bail out George Floyd rioters, she used millions to fund her lavish lifestyle.

Source: thegatewaypundit.com Schumer Erupts After Senate Blocks Democrat Bill to Extend Expiring Obamacare Subsidies — Desperately Blames Republicans for the Disaster Democrats Created  The Senate delivered a major blow to Democrat leadership Thursday night after rejecting Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's last-minute attempt to extend expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, subsidies Democrats themselves voted to terminate in Joe Biden's so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” of 2022. The subsidies are set to expire on December 31, 2025 because Democrats wrote the expiration date into their own bill. Yet now, as the political consequences close in, Schumer is scrambling to pin the blame on Republicans.  Democrats locked the subsidy expiration date into law in 2022. They knew this would happen. They planned for it to happen. They voted for it to happen. Now, in an election year—Schumer is trying to retroactively pretend Republicans created a crisis that Democrats engineered from the beginning.

Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest. Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the “crime” of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election! https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1999403926316069209?s=20   Ticktin’s nine-page letter dated December 7, 2025, accuses a “criminal conspiracy” involving Dominion Voting Systems, Colorado officials like Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and foreign influences, while arguing that Peters preserved election data in compliance with federal law (52 U.S.C. § 20701). He positions her as a key witness for future investigations into election integrity, leveraging her status as a 70-year-old Gold Star mother to evoke sympathy. A core (and controversial) element of Ticktin’s legal theory is the untested claim that the U.S. Constitution allows presidents to pardon state-level convictions—a position not supported by precedent, as presidential pardons are explicitly limited to federal offenses under Article II, Section 2. This strategy aims to challenge the boundaries of executive power, potentially setting up a court battle if pursued further, while amplifying the narrative through media and conservative outlets to build public pressure. , this pardon is largely symbolic and legally ineffective because Peters was convicted and sentenced in Colorado state court on charges like attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy, and official misconduct—not federal crimes. It doesn’t vacate her nine-year prison sentence or require her release; only Colorado’s governor (currently Democrat Jared Polis) could grant clemency for state offenses, and there’s no indication he plans to do so.   the pardon could indirectly help Peters in several ways: Political and Public Pressure: It elevates her case nationally among Trump supporters and election skeptics, potentially leading to fundraising for her legal defense, public campaigns for her release, or even influencing her ongoing state appeals (e.g., by highlighting perceived bias in her trial). A federal magistrate recently denied her release pending appeal, but this symbolic gesture might bolster arguments about unfair prosecution. Narrative Framing: Ticktin can use it to reinforce claims of her innocence in the court of public opinion, portraying the pardon as validation from the president that her actions were justified. This aligns with broader Republican efforts to question 2020 election security. Potential Federal Angle: If any federal investigations arise from her case (e.g., related to Dominion or election data), the pardon could preemptively shield her from future federal charges. Ticktin’s strategy also includes pushing for a DOJ review of her conviction, which Trump directed earlier in 2025. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1999284588955468129?s=20 This refers to the DOJ’s decision, under Bondi’s leadership, to rescind regulations enforcing disparate impact liability. This action implements an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April 2025, eliminating the use of disparate impact metrics to prove discrimination against entities receiving federal funding. What is Disparate Impact Liability? It’s a legal doctrine originating from the 1971 Supreme Court case Griggs v. Duke Power Co., which interprets Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Under this theory, policies or practices that disproportionately harm protected groups (e.g., based on race, even without intentional bias) can be considered discriminatory. Over decades, it expanded into a regulatory tool that penalized unintentional disparities, often requiring institutions like employers, schools, or housing providers to track and adjust for racial outcomes to avoid lawsuits or loss of federal funds.  Critics (including the poster and the article) argue it incentivized racial quotas, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) mandates, and “reverse discrimination,” straying from the Civil Rights Act’s original focus on intentional discrimination. Ending disparate impact liability is framed as restoring “equality under the law” by focusing DOJ enforcement solely on provable intent, rather than statistical outcomes. Bondi stated: “This Department of Justice is eliminating its regulations that for far too long required recipients of federal funding to make decisions based on race.” this is a blow against overreaching government coercion, promoting individual liberty and meritocracy over enforced equity. They suggest skeptics “pay closer attention” to appreciate its impact on freedom from such policies. Texas Showdown: GOP’s Wesley Hunt Now Dares Dem Crockett to Face-Off  The 2026 election cycle is working its way up through the gears. Candidates are announcing their intent to run for various seats; some are sure-wins, some are sure to be fights to the finish, and some are sure to be inexplicable. One of the latter is surely Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) announcing for a Texas Senate seat, the same seat being sought by Republican Representative Wesley Hunt (TX-38). My money’s on Mr. Hunt. Even more so now, that the Republican Congressman has challenged Rep. Crockett to a duel – or, rather, a debate. She may wish she’d picked swords at sunrise instead of a verbal exchange with Wesley Hunt. Texas Senate candidate Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, challenged House colleague Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, to a debate after Crockett entered the race earlier this week. Hunt, who faces incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a competitive Republican primary, was quick to challenge Crockett to a debate, saying that if the new contender agreed it would be “must-see TV.” Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/mrddmia/status/1999519791527207239?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/1999143399631282641?s=20 get the right people in place. VANCE: “Eventually you are gonna see prosecutions. Not just Arctic Frost related, but on a whole host of other issues. Eventually we need certain subpoenas that have to be issued by a court. Eventually you need local prosecutors, US Attorneys to go after some of these people in a court of law. If you can't get a U.S. Attorney appointed because the Democrat wont give you a blue slip. Or you can't get a judge confirmed… Republicans have gotta open up their perspective a little bit.” Everyone can complain all they want, but the DOJ would be stupid to bring charges without the right people in place. Blame the worthless Republican Senators! Frustrating, but I am confident President Trump will figure it out because he is the best problem solver I've ever seen in my life.

In this week's episode, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly settle in for a cozy (and sometimes emotional) holiday chat. The moms dive into the chaos of preparing for Christmas and wanting to be wherever their kids are. Melissa opens up about the lingering PTSD she's been facing after the traumatic loss of her dog, sharing how grief can unexpectedly shape this season. Kelly admits the shift into winter has her feeling extra tired and sluggish—because when it gets dark at 4:30, who isn't ready for bed?

Hey friends!Welcome back to another episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation… whew. Get ready. God's presence is all over this one.I'm honored to introduce you to Juliet Dawn, a UK-based singer, worshipper, storyteller, and a woman with a testimony so powerful it honestly feels like it should be a movie. Her newest album, Born to Be, released in September, and the story behind it will absolutely strengthen your faith.Juliet grew up knowing Jesus from a young age, but what she walked through in adulthood is almost unimaginable — coercive control, a decade of emotional abuse, near-death experiences, trauma, miscarriages, the loss of twins, physical illness, spider bites, PTSD, chronic pain, a broken singing voice, nervous breakdowns, and a long battle for healing.But through every season, God kept whispering His promises:“My times are in Your hands.”“You have not given me a spirit of fear…”“There is a time for everything under heaven.”And now?God has taken Juliette from the deepest valleys into a season of redemption, restoration, and fulfillment of a prayer she prayed at 21:“Lord, I just want to make a difference — no matter the cost.”You'll hear how God led her from trauma to testimony, from brokenness to Nashville recording studios, from silence to releasing powerful songs like There's a Time and Beauty for Ashes.Her music has brought people to tears, healed hearts, and opened doors only God Himself could open.We talk about:✨ Surviving emotional abuse✨ Walking through devastating loss✨ The long road of healing✨ God's miracles in impossible medical situations✨ The anointing behind her songs✨ Recording in Nashville✨ Her role in the Pilgrim's Progress musical film✨ What it looks like to hold onto hope when everything hurtsJuliet's story is raw, breathtaking, and soaked in God's glory.My prayer is that you leave this episode knowing—deep in your bones—that God truly brings beauty from the ashes.Listen in. Be encouraged. And let the hope rise again.Bio:Juliet Dawn is a multifaceted artist whose creative output spans across performance, music, poetry, film and literature, expressing messages of hope and light born of her own journey of overcoming. Her personal story is one of significant trauma and loss, but she has found restoration through her Christian faith, love and resilience, and now purposes to bring compelling wisdom to others through meaningful lessons learnt. Juliet's compelling story weaves through all that she communicates, and now by combining the gifts of her rich, raw life and poetic honesty, she offers something that is both credible, and grounded in real life. Many of the songs and melodies are simply extraordinary, and this is the hallmark of the daughter/mother team; music that is not only timeless, but that leaves a forever deposit in people's hearts!Anchor Verses:Jeremiah 29:112 Timothy 1:7Ecclesiastes 3Connect with Juliet:Website: https://www.julietdawn.co.ukIG: https://www.instagram.com/julietdawnmusicFB: https://www.facebook.com/dovetailshalom/***We love hearing from you!

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Clarissa and Molly sit down with psychologist Dr. Carrie Wilkens to unpack what it really means to help people change without shame, stigma, or power struggles. Drawing from decades of work in substance use, eating disorders, trauma, and family systems, Carrie invites us to rethink "denial," "relapse," "codependency," and even the disease model itself, while still honoring the seriousness of addiction and the depth of people's pain. Together, we explore how self-compassion, curiosity, and values-based behavior change can transform not only individual recovery but also how families, helpers, and communities show up for the people they love. In this episode, we explore: Lived experience & professional work How Carrie's own long-term healing around food and her body continues to shape the compassion and curiosity she brings to her work. The idea that our relationship with food and our bodies changes across the lifespan—and why "lifelong relationship management" matters more than perfection. Do you have to be "in recovery" to help? The pressures clinicians face when they're asked, "Are you in recovery?" and how that question can be loaded with judgment and assumptions. Why personal experience with a specific substance or behavior is not a prerequisite to being deeply effective as a helper. How Carrie talks with clients and families about her own history in a way that's honest, boundaried, and clinically useful. Rethinking 'denial' and harmful language Why words like "denial," "addict," "codependent," "chronic relapser," and "it's a slippery slope" can shut people down rather than open them up. A more curious approach: asking "What do you mean by that?" and unpacking the real story underneath labels. How language can either invite people into self-understanding—or reinforce shame, fear, and disconnection. Softening the disease model without minimizing the problem Nuanced ways to honor addiction as a serious, complex disorder without collapsing everything into a rigid disease frame. How fear (of overdose, loss, chaos, or death) drives a lot of rigid thinking in systems and professionals. Why behavior change is slow, non-linear, and rarely a straight line—and how accepting that can actually make care more effective. Relapse as an "old solution that once worked" Carrie's reframe of relapse as returning to an old behavior that, at one time, made sense and worked on some level. How naming the function of a behavior (soothing, numbing, regulating, connecting) opens the door to new, less harmful solutions. The difference between "You didn't want it enough" and "Your brain reached for an old strategy that once helped you survive." The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) The core elements of ITC: Motivational interviewing–informed curiosity and ambivalence exploration. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based living. A deep commitment to self-compassion as a foundation for behavior change. Why ITC was originally developed for family members and then adapted for people with substance use concerns themselves. How the "wheel" of ITC lets people step in wherever they are—self-awareness, values, behavior strategies, or compassion—and build over time. Families, shame, and staying engaged without "tough love" Inviting family members to ask: "How does my loved one's behavior make sense?" instead of "What's wrong with them?" How this shift helps parents and partners move from fear and control into strategy, support, and skillful engagement. Concrete examples of how families can respond to return to use with curiosity, concern, and clearer communication instead of lectures or ultimatums. Codependency and other overused labels Why Carrie has never formally diagnosed anyone with "codependency." What often lives underneath that label: trauma histories, cultural norms, attachment dynamics, fear of loss, and learned survival strategies. How flattening all of that into "codependent" erases nuance and blocks meaningful change. Neurodivergence, trauma, and substance use/eating behaviors The high rates of PTSD and ADHD among people seeking help for substance use—and why that matters for treatment design. Carrie's reflection on her own undiagnosed ADHD and how it likely drove much of her earlier eating disorder behavior. How binges, purging, and substance use can function as powerful nervous system regulators, especially for neurodivergent and trauma-impacted brains. Why we need more ground-up, neurodivergent- and trauma-informed approaches that focus on emotion regulation, executive functioning, and skill-building. Self-compassion as a behavior change superpower Carrie's journey from skepticism ("this sounds too woo") to seeing self-compassion as essential, research-backed behavior-change work. How self-compassion reduces shame, helps people tolerate slow progress, and makes it safer to look honestly at their own behavior. Using both "tender" and "fierce" self-compassion to choose boundaries, seek support, and keep moving through discomfort. Reimagining 'expert' roles and community care Why Carrie is skeptical of rigid expert hierarchies in addiction treatment. Inviting families, community leaders, and lay helpers into the work through accessible tools like ITC groups and trainings. The power of giving non-clinicians simple, evidence-based language and frameworks so they can respond with compassion instead of panic or shame. About Dr. Carrie Wilkens Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience in the practice and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for substance use and post-traumatic stress. She is the Co-President and CEO of CMC: Foundation for Change, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing evidence-based ideas and strategies to families, communities, and professionals supporting people struggling with substances. Carrie is a co-developer of the Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach, an accessible, skills-based framework that helps families stay engaged, reduce shame, and effectively support a loved one's behavior change. ITC is now used across the U.S. and internationally in groups, trainings, and community programs. She is co-author of the award-winning book Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change, which adapts the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model for families, and co-author of The Beyond Addiction Workbook for Family and Friends, a practical, evidence-based guide for loved ones who want concrete tools to support change without sacrificing their own wellbeing.

The "success lie" nearly destroyed this award-winning entrepreneur's life—until a blackout on an airplane forced her to face the truth. Janelle Bruland had it all: a thriving multi-state business, three daughters, and the appearance of having life "figured out." But when she lost time during a flight and underwent a brain scan, doctors discovered classic PTSD symptoms—her amygdala was "lit up like New York Times Square." What she learned changed everything about how she leads, lives, and defines success. In our latest episode, Janelle reveals why society's definition of success keeps us overwhelmed and exhausted, and how unresolved trauma shows up as invisible barriers to authentic leadership. She shares the framework she created to move from overwhelmed to inner peace, and explains why accepting the present moment "as if you had chosen it" is transformative. One of the most powerful moments comes when she describes the divine message at a funeral that led her to spend her precious final years with her father, traveling together and creating memories that became priceless when he suddenly passed away from cancer. This is one of the most vulnerable, powerful conversations about the intersection of success, trauma, and spiritual awakening. Tune in!

Most people stay locked in a constant sympathetic state without realizing it, which drains focus, sleep quality, emotional balance, and long-term resilience. This episode gives you a science backed path to retrain your nervous system, improve heart rate variability, and shift out of stress on command using focused ultrasound technology that targets the vagus nerve. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Jon Hacker, CEO of NeurGear and creator of ZenBud. Jon is a biomedical engineer who has dedicated his career to bridging neuroscience and daily wellness. His work includes peer reviewed clinical research on anxiety, PTSD, autonomic regulation, and non invasive vagus nerve stimulation. He is one of the first innovators to bring focused ultrasound out of the lab and into a practical wearable designed to help people regulate state, build resilience, and create more conscious control over their biology. In this conversation, Dave and Jon break down how ultrasound activates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, why most electrical vagus nerve devices fail, and what actually happens in the first three to five minutes when the system begins shifting out of sympathetic activation. Jon explains how early trauma wires the autonomic system, why chronic stress is often physiological rather than psychological, and how daily stimulation strengthens vagal tone through Hebbian learning. They also explore how HRV reflects hidden state changes, how nervous system training supports clearer thinking and better emotional regulation, and why this type of tech matters as AI, algorithms, and modern stressors continue to push people into dysregulated states. You'll Learn: • Why sympathetic dominance is so widespread in the modern environment • How the vagus nerve influences stress, recovery, inflammation, and emotional balance • What makes focused ultrasound more precise than electrical vagus nerve stimulation • How ZenBud produced a 78 percent remission rate in clinical anxiety research • How early trauma alters autonomic patterns and keeps people in hidden fight or flight • How three to five minutes of stimulation can reset state during panic or overwhelm • Why daily use strengthens vagal tone and builds long term resilience • How HRV training, consciousness practices, and nervous system workouts fit together • Why noninvasive brain interfaces may become the safer future path as AI advances This episode is essential for anyone interested in biohacking, stress physiology, nervous system training, emotional regulation, HRV, meditation, trauma recovery, longevity, and building a more adaptable brain and body. It gives you a practical look at how the autonomic system really works and how focused ultrasound may change the future of human performance. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.

Fred Minnick is one of the most knowledgeable people in America when it comes to whiskey. Born and raised in the small town of Jones, Oklahoma, he developed an early interest in shooting, fishing, and messing around in the great outdoors. Inspired by his grandfather's military service, he enlisted in the National Guard while attending Oklahoma State University, eventually serving as an Army photojournalist in Iraq in 2004. The constant danger and random violence of being in a war zone, as well as the experience of losing friends and comrades, caused him to struggle with PTSD and depression after returning home. Now, in his new book, Bottom Shelf: How a Forgotten Brand of Bourbon Saved One Man's Life, Fred tells the very personal story about how he clawed his way back from the brink of self-destruction. He chronicles his discovery of a hidden talent for tasting the complex flavors of wine and whiskey, and he shares how his obsession with the story of Old Crow bourbon—and its mysterious founder—gave him a new sense of purpose. Sid also talks to Fred about the crucial role his wife played in his recovery, the best bourbon he's ever tasted, and his top recommendations for a Kentucky bourbon tour.

Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself? There's a reason for that — and it's not because you're doing anything wrong. In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode, I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck on high alert. When our nervous system is constantly bracing for impact, it affects everything from our gut health to our emotional eating patterns — often leaving us with shame, self-blame, and the feeling that we can't trust our own bodies. If you've ever wondered why you turn to food when stress is high, or why your body sometimes feels like it's working against you, this episode brings both clarity and compassion — plus practical tools you can use right away. So take a deep breath… and come on in.   In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… The 4–8 Breathing Technique — a simple, science-backed way to calm your system in the moment. A rapid vagus nerve reset you can use anytime stress spikes. Joanne's "Three Brains" framework — gut, heart, and head — and how it helps move you out of reactivity and into conscious choice.   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Joanne's Email Joanne's Podcast Channel Schedule a FREE Focused Call with Joanne here Joanne's Website Joanne's Facebook Joanne's Instagram Joanne's Linkedin Joanne's Alignable Joanne's Tiktok Joanne's Youtube Join my FREE Online Masterclass:  BREAKING FREE: Mastering Your Mindset for Lasting Weight Release Join my FREE Masterclass: "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

On this episode, host Michael Azevedo joined by long-time friend of the podcast Tim O'Donnell of Pixela Films and by first-time guest Mary Dague to discuss the just-completed film, "The Last Yztari."   This innovative and moving film tells the story of how after using her body as a shield to protect her unit from an IED in Iraq, Mary Dague is left medically retired, missing both arms from the elbow down.    Many years after returning home, she finds a new place in online gaming communities as she adapts her controllers to work with her feet.    When her active-military husband readies to deploy again Mary is faced with the trauma of the past and the worry for her partner's yet to be diagnosed PTSD.    The film explores the liminal space between trauma and healing, and this world and a fantasy space where old wounds might present themselves as future insights or abilities.    The film weaves observational documentary with an original generative AI system built from Mary's own fantasy novel. The novel itself a secret only revealed to the filmmakers and her husband after seven years of writing.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

In this episode, Dom breaks down nutritional versus supplemental ketosis, defines meaningful ketone thresholds, and outlines practical ways to achieve ketosis. He explains how a ketogenic diet can support metabolic health and weight loss, and advises on how to maintain adequate protein and avoid common mistakes. Dom surveys the growing landscape of exogenous ketones—from salts and esters to 1,3-butanediol—and effective pairings like caffeine, MCT oil, and alpha-GPC. He highlights the role of ketogenic therapy in cancer (particularly glioblastoma) and its promise for neurodegenerative diseases. The conversation also covers recommended hyperbaric oxygen protocols for brain injuries and cognitive function, situations where fasting or ketones offer cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits, and touches on the carnivore diet as a ketogenic variant with potential relevance for autoimmune and metabolic conditions. We discuss: Dom and Peter's shared interest in ketosis, and Dom's scientific journey [2:30]; Dom's work for the Navy on oxygen toxicity [7:00]; Nutritional ketosis defined: physiology, biomarkers, and how fasting and diet generate therapeutic ketones [15:00]; The historical roots of ketogenic diets in epilepsy treatment, and evidence showing ketones reduce seizure activity and strengthen brain resilience [19:00]; Dom's personal experience on the ketogenic diet: tracking macros, getting enough protein, and monitoring ketone levels [24:15]; Using a ketogenic diet for weight loss: Dom's guidance on protein, fiber, calorie tracking, lipid monitoring, and more [31:00]; Protein on ketogenic diets: Dom's rationale for higher intake and muscle preservation [38:00]; Incorporating carbohydrates into keto: timing, high-fiber foods, and other considerations [41:30]; The carnivore diet: whether this diet induces ketosis, how it functions metabolically, and why it may help individuals with autoimmune conditions [44:15]; Early exogenous ketones: how 1,3-butanediol works, its liver toxicity risk, and why ketone esters replaced it [48:15]; The progression of exogenous ketones: why BHB monoesters and ketone salts emerged as better alternatives to 1,3-butanediol for ketone supplementation [59:30]; Ketone salts: easing the transition into ketosis, dosing, and how they compare to ketone esters [1:04:00]; The differences between D- and L-β-hydroxybutyrate, and how racemic mixtures may elevate ketones longer and offer unique biological effects [1:09:30]; How ketosis may boost NAD, and why NAD supplements have fallen short so far [1:16:30]; Emerging evidence for using a ketogenic diet to treat anorexia and other psychiatric disorders [1:20:30]; Potential cognitive and performance benefits of ketone supplementation, and why pushing ketones too high can be dangerous [1:23:45]; Applications for ketone esters, and why ketone salts or MCT-blended formulations may be safer and more practical for most people [1:29:15]; The role of a ketogenic diet in treating cancer [1:34:45]; The potential of a ketogenic diet for treating Alzheimer's disease [1:45:45]; Tools for cognitive enhancement: ketones, alpha-GPC, MCT, caffeine, strategic fasting, and more [1:53:45]; Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for concussion, TBI, PTSD, and cognitive function, including protocols and dosing approaches [1:55:30]; Peter's takeaways, recommended products, and additional resources to learn more [2:03:00]; and More.

In this engaging episode host Myrna Young welcomes Christian Rasmussen, a notable figure in the ethnobotanical field, to explore the power and potential of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. Christian's personal story of overcoming benzodiazepine addiction with the help of Amanita Muscaria sets the stage for a broader discussion on plant-based healing methods for mental health, particularly their role within the legal landscape.The conversation also delves into the comparison between Amanita Muscaria and popular psychedelics like psilocybin, highlighting the unique benefits of this legal alternative in addressing issues like anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD among others. Christian explains the importance of storytelling in destigmatizing natural remedies, emphasizing that lived experiences can radically transform perceptions of mental health solutions and inspire a collective shift towards plant-based wellness. The episode encapsulates a journey of hope, empowerment, and healing grounded in Christian's mission-driven approach to promoting natural alternatives in mental health care.Key Takeaways:Amanita Muscaria's Unique Role: Unlike typical psychedelics, Amanita Muscaria mushrooms offer psychoactive benefits without the visionary experiences.Healing Power: Christian shared his personal experience of overcoming a severe benzodiazepine addiction using Amanita Muscaria. Microdosing Benefits: The safe and structured use of low doses of Amanita can help enhance relaxation, focus, mood stabilization, and overall mental balance without adverse side effects.Resources:Website: Home - Amentara  for more information on Amanita This Episode is Sponsored by:NativePathTransform Your Skin, Hair, and Joints with Ancient Grass-Fed Collagen...Discover the life-changing effect of NativePath Collagen.RIGHT NOW, VISIT getnativepath.com/Transform FOR A SPECIAL BUNDLE DEALAuraFramesFor a limited time, visit AuraFrames.com and get $45 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames by using promoTo advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins interviews bestselling author Mark Shaw about his explosive new research into the JFK and RFK assassinations — and the hidden role of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Shaw breaks down newly uncovered FBI documents, including Marcello's alleged 1985 prison confession claiming involvement in JFK's murder. We explore Marcello's long-running war with Robert Kennedy, the suspicious death of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and significant inconsistencies in the official story of RFK's assassination. This conversation challenges the lone-gunman narrative and exposes how organized crime, politics, and government investigations may have collided to shape American history.

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with entrepreneur and wellness advocate Jerome, whose life story is a raw testament to trauma, resilience, and the determination to build something better for the next generation.What begins as a conversation about childhood adversity becomes a shocking revelation:Jerome discovered that he was likely a surviving twin, the result of selective abortion practices in 1970s France. That discovery unraveled decades of unexplained psychological pain, complex PTSD, and emotional disconnection. For the first time publicly, he opens up about prenatal trauma, childhood neglect, and the generational patterns he is determined to break as a father of three young girls. Key Takeaways:-Trauma isn't just emotional, prenatal and childhood trauma shape the brain, identity, and adulthood.-Breaking generational cycles requires intentionality, vulnerability, and emotional honesty.-Children don't need perfect parents, they need present, loving, apologetic, humble ones.-Determination is built in moments where your instinct is to react, but you choose to respond with love.-Mental health struggles are not weakness; silence is. Talking about it is the first step to freedom-Affordable healthcare is possible, removing middlemen makes life-saving medication accessible for families in need. Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAJerome Knyszewskihttps://www.instagram.com/jeromeknyszewski/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

New research links chronic stress, brain energy, and psychiatric conditions, including PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder.Stress doesn't just impact your mood; it affects how your brain allocates energy. In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Parker Kelly, a postdoctoral fellow at UCSF and the San Francisco VA, to unpack the Allostatic Triage Model of Psychopathology, a new framework proposing that psychiatric symptoms may emerge when the brain is forced to triage limited metabolic resources under chronic stress. Co-authored with mitochondrial researcher Dr. Martin Picard, this model could shift how we understand and treat mental illness.In this conversation, you'll learn:How stress drives brain energy dysfunctionWhy mitochondria and metabolism may be central to mental illnessWhich brain networks are impacted by energy deficitsThe role of predictability and routine in stress resilienceHow metabolic therapies like nutrition, sleep, and even psychedelics, may support brain energy regulationThis conversation bridges neuroscience, metabolism, and mental health, offering a unique and unifying lens on complex psychiatric conditions.

How did an 18-year-old aristocrat become one of Britain's longest-serving politicians, spending 20 years in the same boring job before discovering his true calling at age 46? In the latest episode of History's Greatest Idiots, featuring Emily Jackson, one third of the Trauma Agora Podcast, we explore Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, the man known as "Lord Cupid" who survived an assassination attempt, conducted a decades-long affair with his friend's wife, and accidentally built one of the most remarkable political careers in British history.The Origin Story: Born in 1784 literally in Parliament's shadow, inheriting an Irish peerage at 18 that was considered "lesser" by British gentry. Educated at Harrow (one of seven PMs from there) and Edinburgh University. Described as having "the most faultless character" (the last time anyone would say that).The Reluctant Politician: Lost his first two campaigns, then paid £1,500 (£1 million in today's purchasing power) to become MP for Horsham at 22. Later represented Newtown with one condition: never visit the constituency. Democracy was more suggestion than requirement.The 20-Year Training Montage: Appointed to admiralty at 22, turned down Chancellor of the Exchequer at 25 (too young!), accepted Secretary at War instead. Spent a mind-numbing 20 years doing army finances under five Prime Ministers. Called "a brilliant young man wasting his talents, destined to remain a second-rater."The Assassination Attempt: Shot by Lieutenant Davies (ex-officer with PTSD) in 1818, survived with minor injury, then paid for Davies's legal defense and psychiatric care. But refused to intervene when poacher Charles Smith was executed on his estates in 1822.Lord Cupid: Earned his nickname through notorious affairs with Lady Jersey, Princess Dorothea Lieven, and dozens of others. The big one: 30-year affair with Emily Lamb, Countess Cowper, whose boring husband "sank into ill health." At least two of her five children were likely Palmerston's.Finally Getting Married: Lord Cowper died in 1837. Emily's children objected (he's too old and a womanizer!). Queen Victoria (age 18) thought people in their 50s were too old to marry. They married anyway in 1839 after 30 years of waiting. Extraordinarily happy marriage, described as "perpetual courtship."The Career Finally Begins: Resigned in 1828 after 20 years with Tories, gave brilliant foreign policy speech in 1829, switched to Whig party, appointed Foreign Secretary in 1830 at age 46. The training montage was over.Coming Up In Part Two: Sending 14 warships to collect £150, fighting two wars over opium, allegedly trying to 'seduce' Queen Victoria's lady-in-waiting in her own palace, becoming PM at 70, and dying in office at 80.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this powerful episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast, Eric sits down with Dr. John King, an Australian-born trauma expert, speaker, and founder of The Phoenix Collective. Dr. King shares his remarkable story of surviving childhood abuse and trafficking, and how decades later, God led him on a 15-year journey of rebuilding his life from the ground up. Together, they unpack how trauma, addiction, and recovery intertwine—and why real healing requires patience, grace, and daily discipline. Dr. King reveals the powerful tools that helped him overcome years of PTSD and depression, from biohacking and brain rewiring to simple daily habits that build peace and mental clarity. This profound conversation reminds us that recovery doesn't happen overnight—it's a lifelong process of grace, growth, and renewal of the mind. On This Episode:  How Dr. King survived childhood abuse and found purpose in recoveryWhy faith and neuroscience work together in healing traumaThe danger of trying to “microwave” recoveryPractical tools to rewire your brain and renew your mindHow slowing down, discipline, and self-grace lead to lasting peace Connect with Dr. John King: Instagram: @drjohnkinglive Connect with us: Socials: @RecoveryVow Website: recoveryvow.com Email: recoveryvow@gmail.com New episodes each Monday!

Health care strategist Dana Y. Lujan discusses her article, "Grief and leadership in health care." Dana shares her devastating personal story of losing both her son's father and, six years later, her only son, Joey, and how this profound grief exposed the failures of the health care system when faced with pain that cannot be captured by a diagnostic code. She describes her own experience (including a suggested 72-hour psychiatric hold) and how the system offered labels like complicated grief and PTSD but not true understanding. Dana contrasts this with her career in health care leadership, arguing that true compassion and resilience must be redefined by those who have experienced profound loss. She explains why leadership must move beyond metrics to address the hidden grief in our clinics and boardrooms and how persistence is about surrendering to growth, not just "pushing through." Discover how she learned to lead herself through unimaginable pain and turn that perspective into purpose. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Most people proudly say “the gym is my therapy,” but according to trauma therapist Ashley… this is often a major red flag that someone is actually avoiding their trauma, not healing it.In this powerful episode, we expose how trauma hides inside discipline, fitness routines, overtraining, and even “grind” culture. Ashley breaks down how trauma is stored in the body, why certain people cling to fitness as identity, and how trainers accidentally cross into therapeutic territory they're not trained for.This conversation dismantles the myths, reveals the psychology behind gym obsession, and gives you tools to finally understand yourself (or your clients) on a deeper level.If you've ever asked questions like…Can exercise help heal trauma or PTSD?Why do I work out so much, is it trauma?Am I addicted to the gym? How do I know?Why do I feel worse mentally even though I'm training harder?Is using the gym as therapy healthy or harmful?How do I stop using exercise to avoid my problems?How does childhood trauma affect my discipline or training habits?…then this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.Whether you're a gym owner, personal trainer, or someone who trains to “feel okay,” this episode will hit home and expand your understanding of mental, emotional, and physical health.__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Send us a textPsychoactive substances have been ingested by human beings for millennia. But for a few decades at the end of the 20th century, many were banned in the U.S. as part of a cultural backlash manifesting itself in the disastrous War on Drugs. Now that's slowly changing, as the medical industrial complex reconsiders the use of psychedelic drugs like MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, and much more. Joe and Mark discuss the history of psychedelics, their therapeutic use in psychotherapy, and why they might be game changers for the many people for whom existing treatments and medications just don't work. (Taping date: December 5, 2025.)

The late Stanford neuroscientist Nolan Williams shares his research on the potential of a plant-derived psychoactive compound called ibogaine to help people with traumatic brain injury recover from PTSD, depression and anxiety. (Followed by a brief Q&A with Head of TED Chris Anderson) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode SummaryIn this powerful conversation, Holly Porter shares the near-death experience that completely rewired her life, business, and beliefs. After 70 days in the hospital with COVID, multiple intubations, sepsis, and a trach, she left her body, visited what she calls “the stadium,” met an entity in the in-between, and came back with a simple but life-altering message: “Love them where they're at.”Holly and Rodric explore what happens when your definition of success shifts from hustle and achievement to happiness, purpose, and service—and how to actually live that in business.Highlights & Timestamps[00:00] Meet Holly – mom of 8, 19 grandkids & serial entrepreneur Holly introduces herself, her family, and her long history of running multiple businesses with her “calm to my storm” husband.[05:00] 70 days in the hospital: COVID, sepsis, trach & the edge of death.

Have you dabbled in communication with animals? Even just for fun or out of curiosity? If so, you already know how surprising, heart-opening, and downright magical it can be. And if you haven't tried it yet… buckle up. The possibilities for emotional healing — plus personal and spiritual growth — are honestly astonishing. Animal Communciation That's exactly what I talked about with animal communicator Genie Joseph in this week's whimsical episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Genie brought stories, wisdom, and humor to t he show. Our conversation was a reminder that animals are so much more than companions — they're teachers, healers, guides, and sometimes even philosophers in furry bodies. The Philosophical Rabbit Genie started by sharing an enchanting story about her friend Paloma, an animal communicator in Switzerland. Paloma's rabbit, Spot, was not your average carrot-crunching cutie. He had a giant personality. According to Spot, he was a philosopher. And he had no problem telling Paloma that she simply wasn't on his level. Apparently, he’d had a few human lives. At one point he literally said, “You're not at my level. Go back and study.” Can you imagine being put down by a rabbit? Each time Paloma returned, eager to collaborate, Spot sent her back to do more inner work. Only after she'd grown spiritually and emotionally did he finally agree to partner with her on writing a book. This story cracked me up, but it also highlights something profound. Animals have rich inner worlds and unique perspectives. They're funny, wise, stubborn, intuitive, and deeply aware, often far more than we give them credit for. Wolfie Knew His Time Was Up Next came the story that changed Genie's life and honestly, it gave me chills. Her beloved cat, Wolfie, introduced her to the mystical world of animal communication. Toward the end of his life, Genie was torn about what to do. The vet suggested euthanasia, but her heart wasn't ready. She felt confused, guilty, and overwhelmed. This what people feel when you love an animal deeply and want to do right by them. In a moment of desperation and tenderness, she asked Wolfie what he wanted and to her complete surprise, he answered. Wolfie telepathically communicated that he wanted to pass peacefully at home. He provided the exact day and time he intended to leave his body which was between 3 and 5 AM. And just as he said, Wolfie passed at 3:30 AM. This experience affirmed for Genie communication with animals was real. That moment became her turning point, the doorway that led her into a life long devotion to understanding and teaching intuitive animal communication. You might think of her as a pet psychic. Everyday Wisdom from Animals Wolfie's guidance started earlier in as he helped Genie with everyday decisions, including her movie projects. If she wasn't sure which script to choose, she'd spread them out on the floor. Wolfie would quietly wander over and plop himself on the one that ended up being the best choice. He was always right. Eventually, Genie trusted him so much she referred to him as her “business partner.” Animals pick up your moods, your energy, your hesitations, andyour excitement. Sometimes they see the bigger picture long before humans do. It makes you think, how many times has your pet has been trying to tell you something, but you just didn't realize you were being guided? Healing with Animal Therapy Genie then shifted into the deeper purpose behind her work, which is emotional healing. She shared the story of Oscar, a rescued dog with scars, missing teeth, and a heartbreaking past. Yet, despite everything he'd been through, Oscar became a powerful therapy partner for soldiers suffering from PTSD. That’s because Oscar had a rare gift. He could sense the person in the room who was in the most pain. Not the loudest or the one with the biggest personality. Oscar sensed which person silently felt like they were at the end of their rope and were at the greatest risk of suicide. He'd wander over, rest his head on their lap, and stay with them until their energy softened. Time after time, he found the soldier who needed him most. Genie watched veterans open emotionally, often for the first time in years. Oscar's presence reached places that traditional therapy often couldn’t go where trauma hides. Animals don't judge. They don't push, need you to “explain.” They simply see you and comfort you. Sometimes, that's just what someone needs to begin healing. Communication with Animals One of the things Genie emphasized which I loved, is that animals have feelings and very real opinions. She shared the story of a horse who became cranky and withdrawn after being moved to a new barn. Nothing seemed physically wrong, but his behavior was off. When Genie tuned in, she discovered he was upset because he used to spend all day with his companion, a female horse and not just the evenings. He missed the 24/7 connection with her. Once his caretakers understood this, they changed his living situation and suddenly, the horse relaxed and returned to his bright, affectionate self. Sometimes the fix is emotional, not physical and the animal is just waiting for someone to ask what is needed. Conversations with Animals Who Passed Genie also talked about communicating with animals who have passed on. According to her, this can be even easier because they're no longer limited by their bodies. The messages they send are often clearer, more detailed, and incredibly loving. People who felt guilty about euthanasia decisions or worried they hadn't done enough often found deep peace after hearing from their pet. These conversations helped them release burdens and understand their animals truly knew how loved they were. It's comforting to think that your pets still check in and are available to offer guidance from the other side. Marvels of Intuitive Connection At one point, I shared some of my own experiences with intuitive communication with animals. Like the time I negotiated with starlings who were dive-bombing a pool. Or the rabbit who mucnhed down my roses until I had a little “chat” with him. These moments may seem small, but they show how communication can create understanding, harmony, and even cooperation between humans and the wild world around us. Animals listen, respond and they appreciate being spoken to with respect and awareness. Exploring the Human–Animal Bond My conversation with Genie opened a doorway into an entirely different way of relating to our animal companions. Her work through The Human Animal Connection helps pet owners worldwide deepen their relationships, understand their animal's inner world, and dissolve emotional barriers. This is much bigger that solving behavior problems. This is really about soulful partnerships. Animals speak to you all the time, through energy, intuition, behavior, and subtle emotional cues. When you slow down and listen, you discover they've been sharing wisdom, comfort, and support all along. The Secret World of Animals Is Waiting This week's episode is a beautiful reminder of the secret world waiting right at your feet, curled up on your couch, napping on your lap, or chirping outside your window. Your animals may have insights you've never imagined and it’s possible they’ve been trying to help you more than you realize. And they may have little pearls of wisdom (or sass!) just waiting for you to hear. So tune in, get curious, and let the magic of communication with animals open your heart in new ways. Or get a session with an animal communicator like Genie to speak with your pet for you.

Andrea Leeb is the author of Such a Pretty Picture, a debut memoir about childhood trauma, dissociation, and the long road to healing. Abused before the age of five and raised in a home of denial and silence, Andrea grew up to look “fine”—a successful attorney, wife, and high-functioning perfectionist. But when she was assaulted in her 30s, the façade cracked, and repressed memories, panic, and PTSD surfaced, forcing her into a profound journey of recovery.Through inpatient trauma therapy, EMDR, yoga, journaling, and boundary work, Andrea experienced what she calls a psychological rebirth. She now speaks with raw honesty about the hidden impact of childhood abuse, the myth of “I'm fine,” and why healing, though nonlinear, is always possible.Andrea brings a gentle yet unflinching presence, offering audiences validation, hope, and the reminder that it's never too late to tell the truth—or to reclaim who you were meant to be before the pain.In This EpisodeAndrea's websiteSuch a Pretty PictureRAINAndrea on IGBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.
