Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about whether healing always requires going back into every dark corner of our past. We talk about the difference between learning from our pain and living in it, and whether constantly revisiting old wounds can sometimes keep us there instead of helping us move forward. We talk about staying present, choosing gratitude, and recognizing that everyone may need a different path to healing. Sometimes looking back brings discovery and perspective. Other times, maybe the healthier choice is to turn toward the light and simply live. We also explore the idea that the difficult people and experiences in our lives may be our teachers,  and that, in ways we don't always recognize, we may be teachers for others too. This week, ask yourself: Am I looking back to learn… or am I looking back and getting stuck? What has my past taught me? And when might it be time to take the lesson, turn toward the light, and keep moving forward? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Chipped beef on toast, scalloped potatoes with the cornflake crunch, Pong, and the Trash-80. We're firing up the home computer and video game boom of the '70s and '80s. We talk Atari, Intellivision, Commodore 64, Apple II, Nintendo, Pac-Man, Pitfall, stacks of quarters at the arcade, and the infamous E.T. game. Plus, why the watered-down games at home made the arcade that much more exciting. We talk about word processors, electric typewriters, scientific calculators, handheld football games, old-school cash registers, and the simple joy of pushing a button and hearing that click. Then it's broken joysticks on Christmas morning, toys without batteries, and the bleak day-after-Christmas return line. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with Trash-80s, Atari cartridges, computer clubs, retro toys, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and a time when Pong really was enough. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! It's Friday, we fooled them again, and somehow made it through another week. It's another RGF Heal Squad Weekend Edition, coming to you from across the pond, where Kev is living the Lonely Guy life in London. We talk about punk rock hair, haunted hotels, soccer with billionaires, flat Diet Coke and stale pretzels, and why sometimes feeling better isn't another life hack….it's getting outside, finding some sunlight, and maybe letting the ocean knock you on your ass once in a while.We talk radio disappearing, doom scrolling versus actually learning something, and whether every minute really needs to be productive. Plus, with Mercedes chasing history, why presentation matters, what Michael Jordan understood about looking the part, and how sometimes showing the world your value starts with remembering it yourself. Plus, the $70 econo suit, Ziploc bag travel hacks, and proof that no matter how important the room, Regular Guy Kev can still rock it like a United flight attendant. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Want help turning your story into a book? Book a free call with Chandler's team to map out your book: selfpublishing.com/justin I sat down with my friend Chandler Bolt, who built self-publishing.com into an 8-figure company (north of $80 million in sales) by his early thirties, and we got into exactly how he did it. We talked about the mindset that separated him from guys like me in our twenties, why he scaled almost entirely without social media by leaning into SEO, content, and business development partnerships instead, and the "thank you card challenge" and guerrilla marketing tactics that got his first webinars off the ground with zero budget. Chandler broke down the real profit bridge from seven figures to eight, why hiring to your weaknesses eventually stops working, and his "win the day" philosophy for pushing through the brutal stretches every founder hits. We also got into why he thinks a book is the single most powerful lever for a personal brand, and yes, the story of betting Jay Shetty $10K on a pickleball game to get a podcast spot. If you're building anything right now, this one is packed with tactics you can use today. Chandler Bolt is the Founder and CEO of selfpublishing.com (formerly Self-Publishing School), which he built after dropping out of college to over $80 million in sales. He's a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and the author of multiple bestselling books, most recently Published. Over the past decade, his company has helped publish more than 7,000 books and works with clients ranging from first-time authors to names like Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, and Pace Morby. Chandler also hosts the 7 Figure Principles Podcast and the Self Publishing School Podcast, and is based in Austin, Texas.

Hey Heal Squad! After Jennie Garth opened up to us about having hip replacements, we knew we had to bring back this conversation with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, especially after seeing what happened with surfing legend Kelly Slater! Let's just say he was back in the water, surfing those waves, just nine months after undergoing a robotic-assisted hip replacement performed by Dr. Snibbe. So what does that tell us about how far joint replacement has actually come? Listen and learn what Dr. Snibbe has to say in this throwback episode! Dr. Snibbe breaks down how robots are changing orthopedic surgery, whether they actually make procedures more precise, and what you should know before ever considering a joint replacement. But more importantly: can you prevent yourself from needing one in the first place? He reveals the everyday exercises that could be aging your joints, the movement he considers non-negotiable for longevity, and the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that may help protect your hips and knees for years to come. So if  you're dealing with joint pain now or simply want to stay strong, consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health. Enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with Jennie Garth, and we're picking up right where we left off…with the health secret she kept for years: her hip replacements. Jennie gets real about why she was embarrassed to tell anyone, what finally made her stop hiding, and we also get into the deeper work behind her memoir, I Choose Me, including why Jennie spent so much of her life dimming her own light to make other people feel bigger. She shares the simple words from a therapist that completely shifted the way she saw herself, why learning to actually love herself became essential to her mental health, and the tools she still reaches for when she starts feeling disconnected from herself (think mirror work, journaling, “joy boards,”and vision boards). Plus! Jennie reveals a surprising new health diagnosis she just discovered, gets candid about menopause and the HRT “trifecta” that's working for her, and tells us why saying NO has become one of her biggest forms of self-care. And wait until you hear what she says about Dancing with the Stars…would she EVER do it again?!We also talk about the next evolution of I Choose Me, from building Me by Jennie Garth alongside her daughter to expanding into the home, and why everything Jennie says yes to these days has to have one thing in common: purpose.So many laughs, so many takeaways, and so many reminders that choosing yourself isn't selfish…it might just be the thing that brings you back to YOU. Enjoy, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Stop Dimming Your Light to Make Other People Feel Bigger: Jennie spent years making herself smaller and eventually realized she was allowed to be proud of who she was. A therapist telling her “it's okay to be amazing” helped change the way she viewed self-love, not as selfish or egotistical, but as essential to her mental health. Knowing What Makes You Happy Isn't Enough, You Have to Take Action: Jennie uses journaling, mirror work, a “joy board” filled with simple things that make her happy, and vision boards to reconnect with herself. Her biggest lesson: you can think about changing forever, but eventually you have to actually do something, and then stay persistent and consistent. Every “No” Makes the Next One Easier: Jennie is much more selective about the work she accepts now, choosing projects based on whether they feel meaningful enough to take her away from her family, home and life. Saying no still scares her, but every time she does it and realizes the world keeps turning, the boundary gets easier.

Hey Heal Squad! What better way to celebrate the back-to-school season than with one of TV's most iconic high schoolers: the one and only Jennie Garth, aka Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills, 90210. Since leaving West Beverly, Jennie has built an incredible life and career…. starring in What I Like About You, competing on Dancing with the Stars, raising three daughters, writing her memoir I Choose Me, and creating a whole new chapter around what it really means to choose yourself. Today, Jennie opens up to Maria about the rock-bottom period after her divorce and the biggest mistake she says she made: isolating herself instead of letting people support her. She shares what actually helped her climb out, like  friendship, nature, therapy, creativity, and becoming determined to feel joy again. They also look back at the 90210 years, what it was like to spend her entire young adulthood on set, why leaving the show felt like a grief process, and how the cast eventually found their way back to one another later in life. Plus, Jennie gets candid about her health journey… from a shocking jet ski accident with Luke Perry to severe memory issues that led her to Dr. Amen and a brain scan. This one is part nostalgia, part healing, and a powerful reminder that sometimes choosing yourself starts with simply deciding you want to feel better, and staying persistent until you do. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Isolation Makes Hard Times Harder: After her divorce, Jennie admits she isolated herself out of shame and now wishes she had let her friends support her sooner. Getting outside, hiking with friends, meeting new people and allowing laughter back into her life helped her begin climbing out of that period. Pay Attention to What Your Brain + Body Are Telling You: Jennie's severe memory issues became so concerning that she feared early-onset Alzheimer's or dementia. A brain scan revealed irregularities that Dr. Amen could be connected to a past head injury, while Jennie also believes then-unrecognized perimenopause was contributing. You Have to Be Persistent in Your Quest to Feel Better: Jennie says she became determined to feel joy again, trying different therapies, workshops, spending time in nature and eventually rediscovering creativity through designing a home. Her takeaway: change required consistency, figuring out what kind of life she actually wanted, and doing more of what made her feel alive.

Willie Phillips is the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and now a partner at Holland & Knight. During his time at FERC, Phillips helped lead major reforms to transmission planning and the electric grid's interconnection process. He now advises the companies and utilities he once regulated, giving him a unique perspective on how developers can navigate the regulatory system. In this episode of Inevitable, Phillips explains how FERC works, what companies routinely get wrong when engaging with regulators, and why early participation and pre-filing conversations can dramatically improve the odds of success. He also breaks down the Supreme Court's overturning of the Chevron doctrine and how his team designed Order 1920 around reliability and existing legal precedent. The conversation then turns to the bigger challenge facing the U.S. grid: rapidly growing electricity demand from AI, data centers, electrification, and industrial activity. Phillips argues that the grid was not built for this moment and that the country needs faster, more coordinated planning while preserving the role of states and regional authorities. Finally, Phillips discusses large loads, behind-the-meter generation, vertically integrated utilities, and the possibility that hyperscalers could become major power generators. He argues that regulators, utilities, and technology companies have an opportunity to work together to build the infrastructure needed for the next era of the American economy.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she is JAZZED for this one! She's sharing 5 things that worked for her this week and the surprising thread connecting all of them: PAYING ATTENTION! First, Maria reveals the ridiculously simple bedroom change that made a HUGE difference with her hot flashes (seriously, wait until you hear this one!). She also shares the Dermalogica  LumiFusion facial she swears by for glowing skin and the two things she thinks may be behind her suddenly clearer pores. Hint, hint...one is something she removed from her diet and the other is one of her favorite morning routines. Plus, Maria tells us why she's officially an outlet-shopping convert after scoring the bedroom set she wanted for around half the price, and then things get a little deeper. Then, a scary moment this week made her realize that sometimes what feels like a disruption in our lives may actually be the redirection we've been asking for. Maria also shares an inspirational post that came to her at exactly the right time about putting down the phone, creating more silence, listening to those little nudges, praying, and actually giving ourselves enough quiet to hear the answers we keep asking for. Don't worry, we linked the post in the show notes too! Can't wait for you to hear this one, friends. Enjoy!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: "Sugar Candy Mountain, Charlie." 2026 is the year that ACOFAE is covering the classics apparently, because they mentioned Animal Farm in the beginning of the year and here we all are now covering this Orwell classic. Published in 1945, and with the subtitle "a fairy story" in the UK, Animal Farm is a short book that covers the Russian Revolution of 1917 using a farm as the setting and animals as the characters for the most part. A story that begins with passion stirring for change, an opportunity, and then the slow decent into the same situation everyone started from, Animal Farm, is a story about how man corrupts. Which are the pigs and which are the humans? Impossible to tell. Horrifying. "Man is the enemy."

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk forgiveness, second chances, and what it means to choose compassion when you have every reason not to. We talk about being wronged by someone, the instinct to shut the door, and how sometimes remembering our own mistakes can help us see the person behind theirs. We talk about addiction, desperation, and giving someone another chance without ignoring what happened. How forgiveness doesn't mean having no boundaries …sometimes it means putting the right protections in place while still choosing kindness. And how a simple “you're loved here” can mean everything to someone who feels like no one is in their corner. We talk about the difference between “but” and “and.” I understand what happened AND we can't have that here. Because maybe compassion and accountability don't have to be opposites. Maybe we can hold people responsible without shaming them, and protect ourselves without losing our humanity. This week, ask yourself: Who might need a little kindness from me? Where can I choose “and” instead of “but”? And is there something — or someone — I might finally be ready to forgive and let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Slacks versus trousers, Dawn dish detergent, oil stains, and a trip through the fast-food restaurants of yesteryear. We talk about the power of Dawn on an oil stain, the Dawn and baking soda upgrade, and why you never put it in the dryer until you know that stain is gone. We talk about Burger Chef Fun Meal, Red Barn, Chicken George, Howard Johnson's 28 flavors, and the chains that were once everywhere until they weren't. We discover Burger Queen (which clearly needs to come back as Burger Kween!) debate New England subs, Pub Subs, beer-steamed hot dogs, Friendly's, and why a proper hot dog needs the snap. Kev shares the legend of Wayne Winky Gray: the Tipperillo, the personalized bar stool plaque, the rehearsals, the well-drink-only offer... and the night Winky went completely off script. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten fast food, Wonder Bread burgers, functional fuel dinners of the '70s and '80s, and Winky being Winky. We'll talk shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week, and another RGF Weekend Edition! This week, a peaceful day in the ocean turns into a shark feeding frenzy and a reminder that some people are everyone's friend, but somehow nobody's friend. We talk about chronic complainers, Victim Con, Eeyores, Facebook warriors, and what happens when complaining stops being something you do and starts becoming who you are. Why negativity can reward us with attention and a sense of importance—and why arguing with someone determined to be miserable may be about as productive as wrestling Andre the Giant. Sometimes you just need to get out of the ring. We talk about the power of gratitude, how the thoughts we repeatedly rehearse become the ones we automatically reach for, and why maybe the answer to all that darkness isn't more fighting—it's bringing a little light. Community cleanup days, It's a Wonderful Life, hot chocolate, popcorn, and maybe even a nice fleece vest. We talk about broken hips, smoke-break misery circles, junior plumbers, Popeye moments, and the reminder that we're all going to lose it once in a while. The trick may be catching yourself, finding something to be grateful for, and getting yourself back on course. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and if you're a woman over 35, this might be one of the most important conversations you'll hear all year. For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and accept that weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and losing muscle are just part of hormones and getting older. But what if they don't have to be? In Part 2, Dr. Lyon shares what she calls the real playbook for women who want to stay strong, healthy, and independent for decades to come. She explains what actually happens to our muscles as we age, why your first and last meal of the day matter more than you think, and why resistance training isn't just about looking fit, it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your brain, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.Maria and Dr. Lyon also bust some of the biggest myths women have been told about aging...from the idea that belly fat and muscle loss are inevitable to why walking alone isn't enough to maintain muscle after 35. Plus, Dr. Lyon shares her simple, realistic prescription for building strength at any age, including exactly how often to strength train, how much protein to eat, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or looking to level up your routine, this episode is a powerful reminder that getting stronger isn't about perfection…it's about giving your future self the healthiest, strongest foundation possible. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Women don't need to spend the second half of life getting smaller, they need to get stronger. Resistance training and adequate protein are two of the most powerful tools for protecting your metabolism, brain, and long-term health. After 35, your muscles need more attention, not less. Prioritizing protein, especially at your first and last meal, and strength training consistently can help support energy, body composition, and healthy aging. It's never too late to build muscle. Whether you're 40, 60, or even 75, Dr. Lyon says your body is still capable of getting stronger (and healthier!) when you give your muscles the right stimulus.

HEALTH NEWS   Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver     Chamomile Rinse Matches Chlorhexidine in Reducing Plaque and Gum Inflammation, Trial Finds Western University of Arad (Romania), August 12 2026  (Natural News)   A chamomile herbal rinse reduced plaque buildup and gum inflammation on par with chlorhexidine. Researchers enrolled 175 healthy adults and divided them into five groups: chamomile, sage, ginger, placebo, or chlorhexidine rinses, the report stated.   Over twelve weeks, researchers tracked plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation using standardized dental indexes. Participants rinsed daily with their assigned solution, and measurements were recorded at intervals across the study period.    Chamomile's effect relies on plant compounds including apigenin and chamazulene, which act through anti-inflammatory pathways, while chlorhexidine works through strong antimicrobial action, researchers said. Chamomile flower material contains acylated derivatives of apigenin 7-O-glucoside. Every active rinse, including chamomile, produced significant reductions compared to placebo. Chamomile performed statistically on par with chlorhexidine, the rinse most dentists reach for first.  Chlorhexidine is a prescription-strength antiseptic that dentists consider the gold standard for controlling plaque. Long-term chlorhexidine use commonly causes tooth staining, taste changes, and irritation of soft tissue inside the mouth.   A few minutes of sprinting could make a bigger impact than 90 minutes of moderate running Rockefeller University, August 13 2026 (Eurekalert) Three minutes of sprinting can do something that 90 minutes of moderate exercise apparently cannot: dramatically reshape the molecular contents of the bloodstream. Rockefeller researchers comparing different intensities of exercise found that six sets of 30-second, all-out sprints altered nearly a quarter of the proteins measured immediately afterward. Moderate, continuous cycling for 90 minutes altered fewer than one-quarter of one percent. And while moderate running on a treadmill changed more proteins than cycling, it still altered far fewer than a quick sprint. Sprinting triggered changes in more than 200 metabolites. It also caused an immediate surge of proteins involved in blood-vessel growth, tissue remodeling, and hormonal signaling. Some of these proteins appear to enter the bloodstream through an expedited cell signaling process known as ectodomain shedding—rather than being newly made and secreted, portions of proteins already sitting on the cell surface were cleaved off and rapidly released into circulation. The researchers also found that human fat cells exposed to blood collected after sprinting underwent extensive changes in gene activity, shifting how the cells process fuel, respond to hormones, and sense nutrient availability. Not so with moderate exercise which produced a more modest response. It was not until three hours after completing that exercise that a meaningful wave of the fatty acids and liver-derived proteins that typically appear in response to the demands of endurance exercise were found in the bloodstream.    Ultra-processed foods linked to higher prostate cancer risk in men Florida Atlantic University, August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) account for nearly 60% of adults' and 70% of children's energy intake in the United States.  New research from Florida Atlantic University provides evidence that men with higher consumption of UPFs have increased risks of prostate cancer.  Published in The American Journal of Medicine, the study provides analyses from a large and nationally representative data from 17,024 U.S. men ages 18 and older. Researchers used two 24-hour dietary recalls to calculate the percentage of daily calories participants consumed from UPFs.  Men in the three higher-consumption groups of UPFs had a 29% greater risk of prostate cancer, while those in the two highest-consumption groups had a 30% greater risk, compared to those in the lowest consumption group. After adjustments, the increased risk remained significant, ranging from 24% to 31%. Men with the highest UPF intake alone had a possible 34% higher risk, although the finding did not reach statistical significance, potentially reflecting the smaller number of prostate cancer cases in that group.     Cinnamon Supplementation Associated With Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol in Review of 21 Meta-Analyses Lanzhou University Second Clinical Medical College (China), August 11 2026 (Natural News) A pooled analysis of 21 meta-analyses, including 139 placebo-controlled comparisons, found cinnamon supplementation associated with lower HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure, according to a report published in Frontiers in Nutrition. The report stated that the strongest effects occurred at daily amounts above 1.5 grams, or roughly three-quarters of a teaspoon, for periods of two months or less. Compared with placebo, cinnamon supplementation was tied to a measurable reduction in HbA1c, the blood test doctors use to track blood sugar control over the previous several months, the article stated. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol also declined, and blood pressure readings improved, according to the analysis. Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes labeled 'true cinnamon,' contains only trace amounts of coumarin, while Cassia cinnamon, the variety commonly found on supermarket shelves, contains higher levels, according to the article. For daily use, experts cited in the report recommend limiting Cassia cinnamon to about one teaspoon or less, with occasional larger amounts considered unlikely to cause harm.   Healthy lifestyle cuts hearing impairment risk by 14%, metabolism is key driver Fudan University (Japan), August 12 2026 (News-Medical)     Hearing impairment ranks as the third largest contributor to global disability among sensory disorders, with prevalence rising across younger and middle-aged populations alongside older adults.  The Fudan University team conducted an analysis of 441,844 UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 69 at baseline, with a median follow-up of 14.22 years. The researchers constructed a comprehensive lifestyle score spanning seven behaviors: smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sleep duration, sedentary time, social engagement, and dietary supplement use. Over the study period, 20,743 incident cases of hearing impairment were documented.  Participants with an ideal lifestyle had a 14% lower risk of developing hearing impairment than those with a poor lifestyle. Among individual factors, smoking cessation offered the greatest preventive benefit, followed by reduced sedentary time; dietary supplement use showed no protective effect, and social contact frequency was not significantly associated with hearing risk. The study's core insight emerges from its quantitative mediation analysis, which revealed metabolic dysfunction as the dominant biological pathway linking lifestyle to auditory health. Metabolic biomarkers–most notably BMI and HDL-c–mediated approximately 16.5% and 14.0% of the total lifestyle–hearing association respectively. In contrast, each inflammatory marker contributed less than 6% of the effect, playing only a secondary role.

Hey, Heal Squad! If you've been hearing everyone talk about building muscle but never really understood why it's so important, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a board-certified physician, longevity expert, and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong, and she completely flips the script on what muscle actually does for our bodies. It turns out muscle isn't just about looking toned or getting stronger ...it's one of the most powerful organs for protecting your brain, supporting your metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and helping you stay healthy as you age. Dr. Lyon breaks down the fascinating connection between muscle and brain health, why brain fog and low energy may all be connected to muscle loss, and why simply building muscles are one of the best things you can do for your long-term health. They also dive into protein...like how much you really need, why quality matters, and the surprising role essential amino acids play in building and protecting muscle.Then they tackle one of the biggest health topics right now: GLP-1 medications. Dr. Lyon explains why they are posing another “problem” and although these medications can be an incredible tool, she talks about  why protecting your muscle through resistance training and proper nutrition is the piece of the conversation too many people are missing. If you've ever wondered what you should actually be doing today to protect your physical and mental health, this episode is packed with practical advice and plenty of "I never knew that!" moments. P.S. Be sure to check out Dr. Lyon's new book too: The Forever Strong Playbook, a step-by-step guide to help transform muscle health in 6 weeks! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Muscle is one of the most powerful organs in your body, not just for strength, but for your brain, metabolism, and longevity. Every time you move your muscles, you're investing in better cognitive function, blood sugar regulation, and healthier aging. Don't wait until you're sick to prioritize your health. As Dr. Lyon says, "If you don't have time for wellness, how are you going to have time for sickness?"  The goal isn't just to lose weight, it's to protect your muscles. Dr. Lyon challenges us to think differently about health, explaining that unhealthy muscle may be the real root of many chronic diseases and that preserving muscle is essential, especially in the age of GLP-1 medications.

Yasir Arafat is the co-founder and CTO of Aalo Atomics, a company developing factory-manufactured modular nuclear power plants designed for AI data centers. Before founding Aalo, Yasir led the MARVEL microreactor program at Idaho National Laboratory. In this episode of Inevitable, Yasir explains how Aalo became one of four U.S. nuclear startups to achieve criticality by the July 4, 2026 deadline. He breaks down what criticality means, why the milestone matters, and how the team went from a small startup to sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction in less than a year. The conversation explores why Yasir believes nuclear's biggest challenges are speed and economics rather than safety or reliability, and how Aalo is trying to address both through factory-based manufacturing. Yasir also shares how the company built its own reactor building in 36 days, tested its full-scale reactor systems, developed scalable fuel assembly manufacturing, and partnered with Idaho National Laboratory to learn how to operate a real reactor. Finally, Yasir outlines Aalo's path from its zero-power Critical Test Reactor to Aalo-X, a full-powered reactor designed to generate electricity and power a co-located AI data center, and ultimately to the company's commercial Aalo Pod. The discussion also covers DOE demonstration pathways, future NRC licensing, the resurgence of nuclear innovation, and why Yasir believes multiple reactor technologies and companies will be needed to scale nuclear energy. Note: Aalo Atomics is an MCJ portfolio company. Episode recorded on August 6, 2026 (Published on August 18, 2026).

Not one of the four providers treating Lindsay Clancy before January 24, 2023, ever contacted another to compare notes on her care. Her psychiatrist saw her fourteen times. Her nurse practitioner had no record of those visits. When Clancy admitted herself to a locked psychiatric ward, her outpatient providers were not informed.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers Live to cover what the trial testimony at Plymouth Superior Court has shown about a fractured mental health system and a mother who fell through it.Clancy messaged her treatment team about thoughts she had never experienced before. She searched for "hallucinations" on her phone. Published research puts postpartum psychosis at one in a thousand births and documents a four percent infanticide rate within that population. Her defense argues she was psychotic when she killed Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months.She attempted to take her own life immediately after. She jumped from a window, broke her spine, and is permanently paralyzed. She cut her own neck and wrists. Her blood pressure dropped in the ICU and she went into cardiac arrest.The prosecution says she planned it. Coffindaffer examines whether planning and psychosis can exist in the same person at the same time, and what thirteen psychiatric medications, four disconnected providers, and a treatment program refusal tell an investigator.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with six things that made her week so much better….and this week, there's a theme: stop waiting for what you need and start creating more of it. Whether that is tackling a backyard project or the latest recipe form instagram, we hope this episode inspires you to create something you want more of. So first up, Maria shares why some unexpected alone time helped her recharge, get creative, and realize that needing space doesn't mean loving your people any less. Then, we get into what she's calling her “fun crisis”and the realization that if you're craving more fun, connection, or play in your life, maybe it's time to stop waiting for someone else to make it happen. Maybe it's time to (as they say at the Nike offices) JUST DO IT! Then we get practical: Maria shares how she's using ChatGPT to redesign and visualize spaces (like a new Heal Squad space!), and then a ridiculously simple trick that helped revive her rough, dry hair. Finally, new recipes! Maria shares two recipes that were actual hits with the family: sugar-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with one VERY unexpected ingredient, and a sweet potato pizza experiment.We hope you find one little thing in here that works for you this week, enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Welcome to The Sunday Set Up, part of our new Heal Squad Weekend. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why so much of life comes back to letting go… of outcomes, expectations, and the belief that happiness is waiting somewhere on the other side of the next accomplishment. We talk about the advice “not postpone your happiness,” and how easy it is to convince ourselves we'll be happy WHEN: we get the promotion, the money, the relationship, the house, or finally accomplish the thing we've been chasing. We talk growth mindset, doing your best without being attached to the outcome, and how sometimes real growth isn't pushing the rock harder…it's realizing you can finally put it down. We go deep into Kev's Speaker Emporium and Pagers, conversion vans, 80s sound systems, ”play personnel” skating-rink hot chocolate, the questionable love of vending-machine chicken soup, and the arrival of Halloween decorations. This week, ask yourself: What happiness am I postponing? What am I pushing too hard to control? And what might happen if I did my best… and then simply let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad.

Happy PotLuck Saturday! This week, we are joined by Heather Bifulco of Tidy Style. We talk about how organizing creates peace, if not happiness. How forcing yourself to organize can force you to assess the various pain points in your life that you are unaware of. We talk about how we underestimate the damage pain points do to our lives when they are added up. How organization begins with categorization and should always begin in the kitchen. And how visibility is accessibility—and the cure for all of our mismatched Tupperware. Happy PotLuck Saturday! We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week, and welcome to the inaugural Heal Squad Weekend Edition! This week, it's  Kev on the Scene Classic with Eric Estrada disco dancing, a 30-year-old Hollywood story involving CHiPs, Larry Wilcox, an angry cockatoo, a trampoline pool cover, and some firsthand perspective on a feud that may not be quite as simple as history remembers it. We talk why being number two isn't always such a bad gig, how ego and jealousy can keep us from recognizing when somebody else's success is actually pulling us up, and why playing alongside people better than you might just make you better too. Sometimes the smartest move is to stop keeping score and enjoy the ride. We talk Caillou controversy, always finding a workaround, bringing back “having a time,” Greek Day, gyro machines, disco balls, and why getting people together doesn't need to become like a catered wedding. We talk Mr. Brady being as much fun as a bag of wet hair, Popcorn and Clyde, Carney wisdom, and why maybe Saturday really is just another Tuesday. Life's too short to protect the calendar, keep score, or wait for the perfect day. Get some people together, have a time, and enjoy the ride. Happy Friday. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey, Heal Squad! After hearing Jennifer Esposito's powerful celiac journey, we wanted to leave those who have gone gluten-free with a hopeful take on rethinking your relationship with carbs. That's why we're throwing it back to our conversation with bestselling author and gluten-free chef Phoebe Lapine. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's and struggling with SIBO, Phoebe thought eliminating carbs altogether was the healthiest path forward. But through years of trial, error, and healing, she discovered something surprising: if you don't have celiac disease or a medical need to avoid gluten completely, healthy carbohydrates can absolutely have a place on your plate. In this episode, Phoebe explains why the goal isn't to fear bread or eliminate carbs, but to understand which carbohydrates best support your body. She shares how "slow carbs" can help stabilize energy, support gut health, and reduce the all-or-nothing mindset that diet culture has created around food. If you've ever wondered whether you really need to avoid gluten forever, or you're looking for a more balanced approach to healthy eating, this conversation is full of practical, empowering takeaways. Hope you enjoy it!

A decade ago, DERs were hot. The hype was that things like batteries, smart devices, and other distributed energy technologies would offset the need for expanding traditional grid infrastructure. But DERs never took off, at least not at the scale that many hoped for. They had high price tags and short track records compared to the existing substations, transmission lines, and generation options that utilities were familiar with. In short, the market didn't need them yet. Fast forward 10 years, and things have changed. Load growth is increasing while major grid bottlenecks — like in transmission, interconnection, and supply chains — may be opening up a new opportunity. So is the time finally right for DERs? In this episode, Shayle talks to his colleague Andy Lubershane, partner and head of research at Energy Impact Partners. Last week, Andy published a blog post making the case that DERs were a good idea that was just too early, but the market is ready now.  Original episode date: 9/18/2025. Shayle and Andy cover topics like: - What held DERs back a decade ago - Why now is different, including falling system costs and growing grid bottlenecks - The difference between demand response and virtual power plants - The potential hurdles to scale, like supply chain bottlenecks, foreign entity of concern regulations, and fire codes Resources: Latitude Media: Can distributed energy answer AI's power problem?  Open Circuit: The grid flexibility solutions staring us in the face  Catalyst: Making DERs work for load growth  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Everything Kevin Reddington is arguing in Plymouth Superior Court comes back to a single claim: that by January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was hearing a voice instructing her to kill her three children and then herself.Three counts of first-degree murder are on the indictment, and Clancy has pleaded not guilty. The Duxbury deaths occurred on January 24, 2023. That she killed them is not contested. Prosecutors say she acted with intent and full awareness.Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for part one of three, and this conversation is about the condition rather than the courtroom. Shavaun has been in practice more than thirty years, treating anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence.Published prevalence figures sit near one or two births in every thousand. Researchers describe it as a condition that shifts — a woman can be disoriented in one hour and entirely clear in the next. Understanding that pattern is the difference between following this trial and misreading it.The conversation handles the hardest fact for the defense. This illness usually arrives within days or weeks of delivery. The baby, Callan, was eight months.Shavaun separates psychosis from psychopathy for an audience that hears the two words as one thing. She explains where an intrusive thought ends and a command voice begins. She takes on why Clancy told her providers she had no thoughts of harming her children while her husband testified she told him otherwise. And she answers whether this illness reaches the part of a person that knows right from wrong.Shavaun Scott's book is Nightbird. Parts two and three follow.Judge William Sullivan is presiding in Plymouth Superior Court. Shavaun also addresses what the jury has already heard from four clinicians who described clear, linear thinking and no psychosis, and why that testimony does not settle the question the way it appears to.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Jennifer Esposito, actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, and the writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills. Today Jennifer is getting into the full story behind Fresh Kills… where the idea came from, what it cost her to make it, and why the industry did everything it could to make sure you never heard of it. From growing up in Staten Island surrounded by the mafia and the young women trapped inside that world, to betting her house(literally!)  on a film she believed in with everything she had, Jennifer takes us through the fight of her creative life. She opens up about members of the industry who didn't show up when she needed them most, the standing ovation at Tribeca that still couldn't get her a distribution deal for an entire year, and the Hollywood machine that tried to bury Fresh Kills. And now that a major studio is positioning their new Godfather film as the "first female mafia story"? Jennifer has something to say about that. Then just when you think the story can't hit any harder, she lands in Paris,  and for the first time in her entire life, her nervous system goes quiet. She tells us what life is like in Paris, and how she's finally transformed her life and health for the better.  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You were never the problem. Jennifer spent years in Hollywood shrinking herself to fit a mold that was never built for her…. told she wasn't the right type, wasn't white enough, wasn't the girl next door. The moment she stopped trying to be what everyone else needed her to be and started making Fresh Kills on her own terms, everything changed. Bet on yourself before you ask anyone else to. Jennifer mortgaged her house because she was done asking people who didn't believe in her to fund something they couldn't understand. When no one would greenlight her vision, she greenlit it herself. That is the Heal Squad mindset. Stop waiting for someone to give you what you already know you deserve, and start moving. You can't heal in the environment that made you sick. Three months in Paris and Jennifer barely recognizes herself. Smiling on the street. In the pool. Playing records.

Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations that will stay with you long after it's over. Actress, director, New York Times bestselling author of Jennifer's Way, writer-director-star of the award-winning film Fresh Kills, and the true CEO of her own health, Jennifer Esposito joins Maria to share how she took control of her well-being after decades of debilitating symptoms, panic attacks, and medical gaslighting…which all resulted into one of the most severe cases of celiac disease any doctor has ever seen!  Jennifer also gets into the brutal post-diagnosis detox nobody warned her about, how IV vitamin therapy became the game changer that finally turned things around, why the AIP diet is the reset she recommends to everyone dealing with autoimmune issues, and how healing her gut eliminated her severe panic disorders. If you've ever been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your symptoms are all in your head,  this conversation is going to make you feel seen, furious, and fired up to start asking better questions. Because the biggest breakthrough of Jennifer's life didn't come from a doctor. It came from refusing to stop until someone finally listened. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your body is always communicating, don't ignore it. Jennifer had symptoms from childhood that every doctor dismissed as anxiety, hormones, or hypochondria. The root cause was celiac disease so severe her liver was failing and her nervous system was in collapse. Her healing began the moment she stopped accepting "it's all in your head" and started treating her physical symptoms as real,  because they were. Healing your gut can change everything,  including your mental health. Jennifer went from four Klonopin a day and a full-blown panic disorder to living in Paris with zero anxiety and a calm nervous system. The difference was identifying and eliminating what was destroying her gut, rebuilding her nutrient levels through IV therapy, and giving her body what it had been starving for.  The sign you need to keep going might not look like what you expect. When Jennifer gave herself an ultimatum …get a diagnosis or accept that she was crazy… a log crashed through her windshield and she took it as a message from the universe to keep fighting. Whatever that sign looks like in your life, this is a reminder that giving up one day too early is always the biggest risk.
