After centuries of division, how did China find its way back to unity? Part 6 follows the Northern and Southern Dynasties through an age of political upheaval, cultural transformation, and the flourishing of Buddhism. In Part 6, we'll also explore how the Xianbei 鲜卑 rulers of Northern Wei 北魏 blended steppe traditions with Chinese institutions, while the southern courts nurtured literature and religious scholarship amid palace intrigue and dynastic collapse.From the reforms of Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Xiaowen to the Buddhist devotion of Emperor Wu of Liang, we meet the figures who helped shape the foundations of a new imperial age. The story culminates in Yang Jian's reunification of China under the Sui, his formidable partnership with Empress Dugu, and his dealings with the powerful Göktürks. But a fateful choice of successor threatens their achievements, setting the stage for the reign of Sui Yangdi and the eventual rise of the Tang.Here's a list of Chinese names from this episodeFú Jiān 符坚, Tuòbá Guī 拓跋珪 / Dàowǔ 魏道武帝, Emperor Xiàowén 北魏孝文帝, Tuòbá Tāo 拓跋焘 / Emperor Tàiwǔ 北魏太武帝, Emperor Wénchéng 北魏文成帝, Empress Dowager Féng 冯皇后, Emperor Xiànwén 北魏献文帝, Emperor Xuānwǔ 北魏宣武帝, Ěrzhū Róng 尔朱荣, Liáng Wǔdì 梁武帝, Liú Yù 刘裕, Eastern Jìn Emperor Gōng 晋恭帝, Táo Yuānmíng 陶渊明, Xiè Língyùn 谢灵运, Bào Zhào 鲍照, Shēn Yuē 沈约, Jiāng Yān 江淹, Xiāo Tǒng 萧统, Liú Sòng Wéndì 刘宋文帝, Liú Shào 刘劭, Liú Jùn 刘骏, Liú Sòng Emperor Xiàowǔ 刘宋孝武帝, Liú Zǐyè 刘子业 / Qiánfèi 刘宋前废帝, Liú Yìgōng 刘义恭, Princess Shānyīn 山阴公主 / Liú Chǔyù 刘楚玉, Liú Zǐxūn 刘子勋, Liú Sòng emperor Míng 刘宋明帝 / Liú Yù 刘彧, Emperor Hòufèi 刘宋后废 / Liú Yù 刘昱, Xiāo Dàochéng 萧道成, Xiāo Yǎn 萧衍 / Emperor Wǔ of Liáng 梁武帝, Hóu Jǐng 侯景, Wáng Sēngbiàn 王僧辩, Chén Bàxiān 陈霸先 / Chén Wǔdì 陈武帝, Gāo Huān 高欢, Gāo Yáng 高洋 / Northern Qí Emperor Wénxuān 北齐文宣, Eastern Wèi Emperor Xiàojìng 東魏孝靜帝, Gāo Chéng 高澄, Gāo Zhàn 高湛, Northern Qí Emperor Wǔchéng 北齐武成帝, Yǔwén Tài 宇文泰, Yǔwén Jué 宇文觉, Yǔwén Yōng 宇文雍 / Northern Zhōu Emperor Wǔ 北周武帝, Yáng Jiān 杨坚 / Emperor Wén of Suí 隋文帝, Northern Zhou Emperor Xuān 北周宣帝, Yáng Lìhuá 杨丽华, Dúgū Qiéluó 独孤伽罗, Emperor Jìng 北周静帝, Chén Shúbǎo 陈叔宝, Bumin Khagan / Yīlìkè Hán 伊利可汗, Ishbara Qaghan 沙缽略可汗, Yáng Yǒng 杨勇, Yáng Guǎng 杨广 / Suí Yángdì 隋炀帝.

Han Solo's origin story takes centre stage as The Commentary Booth continues its Star Wars 50th Anniversary Celebration Rewatch Series with Solo: A Star Wars Story.Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey head back to 2018 for a space Western packed with smugglers, criminals, double-crosses, questionable life choices and, eventually, one very familiar Wookiee. For Corrina, this is her very first watch of Solo, and somehow, eight years on, she managed to dodge every spoiler, including the movie's biggest reveal.The pair dig into Alden Ehrenreich's portrayal of Han Solo, asking whether he manages to capture Harrison Ford's swagger without simply becoming a Ford impersonator. They also discuss Donald Glover's near-perfect Lando Calrissian, Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra, Woody Harrelson's Tobias Beckett and a surprisingly stacked supporting cast.Then there's the production drama. Jamie breaks down the notorious change of directors from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to Ron Howard, the competing creative visions behind the movie and how that turbulent production may have contributed to a film that sometimes feels like two different Star Wars adventures fighting for screen time.The conversation also gets into the spectacular train heist, the Kessel Run, Han and Chewie's first meeting, L3-37, the film's endless betrayals, the Darth Maul surprise and why Corrina absolutely did not see that one coming.Is Solo an underrated Star Wars adventure, an overlong origin story, or simply a decent movie caught in the middle of a galaxy-sized production mess? Jamie and Corrina have plenty to say about it.Plus, find out where Solo lands in their personal Star Wars rankings and whether either of them thinks they'd willingly watch it again.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

In this episode of Taking Healthcare by Storm, Quality Insights Medical Director Dr. Jean Storm speaks with Jennifer Wren Tolo, RN, a soul connector, transformational life coach, award-winning health and wellness educator, speaker, author, and the founder of Butterfly Family Wellness. Jennifer, “The Soul Connector”, shares how her own health struggles and two sons' life-threatening illnesses led her to focus on nervous system regulation, stress management, and whole-person healing. She discusses how chronic stress contributes to disease, outlines her “six S” framework for reclaiming power (from self-awareness to self-reflection), reflects on using AI without losing intuition, and calls for a healthcare shift toward prevention, lifestyle medicine, and education.If you have any topics or guests you'd like to see on future episodes, reach out to us on our website.The views and opinions expressed by the host and guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or policies of Quality Insights.

Manchmal läuft im Haus plötzlich nichts mehr rund: gesundheitliche Beschwerden häufen sich, Konflikte entstehen, beruflich stockt es. Dahinter kann ein Wechsel der sogenannten Periodenenergie stehen. Anhand eines konkreten Familienhauses in Hanglage zeigt Julia Ries, wie eine ehemals günstige Feng-Shui-Konstellation nach dem Periodenwechsel ihre Wirkung verliert. Statt radikaler Sanierung helfen gezielte Veränderungen: Der Eingang wird auf die belebte Yang-Seite verlegt, Schlafzimmer werden neu zugeordnet und problematische Raumenergien durch eine offenere Nutzung entschärft. Die Folge macht deutlich, dass wirksames Feng Shui nicht zwingend einen Komplettumbau bedeutet. Entscheidend sind klare Wege, passende Raumfunktionen und ein realistischer Maßnahmenplan, der Schritt für Schritt umgesetzt werden kann.

On this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I sit down with Ken Swartz, also known as Ken the Scientist, to explore a molecule that has quietly become one of the most fascinating topics in cellular health: Carbon 60, or C60. Ken shares his origin story, from directing a fusion research project to discovering C60 as a radiation protectant, and the unexpected shift in his own health that redirected the course of his work. We talk about what C60 actually is, a naturally occurring carbon molecule found in meteorite impacts and formed in the atmospheres of stars, and how it works at the level of the mitochondria, the tiny engines that power every cell in the body. From a fertility perspective, this conversation feels especially relevant. Ken explains how mitochondrial function connects to egg and sperm health, hormone production, inflammation, and metabolic balance, all areas that matter deeply when you are trying to conceive. We also explore the beautiful overlap with Chinese medicine and the way it understands Qi, the vital energy that moves through the body. Whether you are on your own path to conception or simply love understanding how the body works, this episode offers a grounded, science-based look at cellular health and why it matters. As always, this is a conversation meant to inform and support you, never to replace the guidance of your own care team. Key Takeaways: C60 is a naturally occurring molecule made of 60 carbon atoms. It forms in nature through meteorite impacts, lightning strikes, and the atmospheres of red stars, and is often described as one of the earliest antioxidants of life. It works at the cellular level as an SOD and catalase mimic, supporting the mitochondria, the energy centers inside your cells. Healthy mitochondria influence nearly everything: energy, hormone production, inflammation, and the quality of eggs and sperm. Because hormone precursors are made in the mitochondria, supporting mitochondrial function may help the whole endocrine system work more efficiently, which can matter for cycle regularity and fertility. Ken shares anecdotal reports connected to fertility, including unexpected pregnancies and healthy babies born to women in their 40s. C60 is not a cure and does not replace the basics. Nourishing food, clean water, rest, and nervous system care still do the foundational work. Ken describes it as one supportive tool in the toolkit. Purity and testing matter. Ken notes that many supplements are mislabeled, so third-party tested, high purity sourcing is essential. About the guest: Ken Swartz, known as Ken the Scientist, was working on radiation and fusion research when he experienced a result that did not fit the science he trusted. With a background in economics, education, and leading multiple research laboratories, his work led him into projects connected to radiation and the MOXY fusion reactor. During that time, he began using Carbon 60 as a radiation protectant, something he already understood from earlier scientific research. A few months in, he started noticing unexpected shifts in his energy and overall health. About eight months later, a routine eye exam revealed that a previously identified age-related vision issue was no longer visible, something his optometrist had never seen before. That moment, in 2016, led Ken to dedicate his work to the research, study, and production of Carbon 60. Today he is co-founder of C60 Power, a company focused on producing high purity C60 using certified organic oils and a clean, solvent-free process. At the core of his work is a simple belief: your health is your responsibility, and people have more influence over how they feel and function than they have been led to believe.

Un chercheur de Google DeepMind vient d'annoncer 30 % de chances que l'IA tue un milliard d'humains avant 2050. Mais le chiffre n'est pas le vrai sujet : c'est la mécanique qui le produit.Le vrai danger ne vient pas de la machine. Il vient des gouvernements qui s'en emparent, des chercheurs en burnout qui fabriquent des scénarios catastrophes dans des labs corporate déguisés en instituts de recherche, et d'un recrutement qui a mis des ingénieurs sur des problèmes de civilisation sans vérifier s'ils pouvaient y tenir.Si l'IA atteint un QI de 10 000 avant 2030, on ne saura pas si elle voudra nous détruire.

Marco Montagnani"Il cibo è medicina"La ricerca del benessere tra taoismo e tradizione cinesePrefazione di Franco BerrinoSolferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.it«In Cina, la domanda più comune per salutare qualcuno non è “come stai?”, ma “hai mangiato?”. Una frase semplice che racchiude un'intera filosofia.» Secondo la medicina tradizionale cinese, ciò che assumiamo ogni giorno influenza in modo diretto e continuo il nostro Qi, ossia l'energia vitale. Il confine tra nutrimento e cura dipende spesso da dosaggio, concentrazione e intenzione.Il maestro taoista Marco Montagnani racconta in queste pagine i principi e le virtù di una dietetica millenaria, espressione di una saggezza al tempo stesso profonda e concreta. In questa prospettiva, il cibo non è soltanto piacere o gratificazione immediata, né un semplice calcolo di calorie, ma uno strumento potente per sostenere l'equilibrio e il benessere psico-fisico. È uno degli insegnamenti più significativi maturati durante una lunga esperienza in Estremo Oriente, iniziata quando l'autore aveva appena dieci anni e destinata a segnare profondamente il suo percorso individuale e professionale. Un cammino raccontato con storie e dettagli personali e coinvolgenti che lo ha portato a considerare la cura come una responsabilità interiore, trasformandola in una missione: aiutare ogni giorno migliaia di persone a ritrovare l'equilibrio e a «onorare la vita», coltivandola con consapevolezza anziché consumarla distrattamente.Per mettere in pratica questi principi, è essenziale la parte del libro dedicata a ricette e rimedi naturali, utili per affrontare i disturbi più comuni della vita quotidiana: dal mal di testa all'insonnia, dall'ansia alla stanchezza cronica, fino ai problemi digestivi. Un invito a prendersi cura di sé in modo dolce e profondo, agendo non solo sui sintomi ma anche sulle cause, per raggiungere un benessere autentico e duraturo.Marco Montagnani è laureato in Medicina cinese presso l'Università di Mingxi della provincia del Fujian e in Medicina naturale presso la Central Pacific University, diplomato in Fitoterapia clinica presso l'Università di Viterbo e iscritto alla Società Italiana Fitoterapia clinica (S.I.Fit.). È docente di Tuina e Qigong presso la Federazione Italiana Scuole Tuina e Qigong (FISTQ), docente di Medicina tradizionale cinese e Filosofia taoista presso la Scuola di Agopuntura di Firenze.Insegna Medicina cinese e Qigong presso varie scuole di agopuntura, ed è collaboratore scientifico di alcune riviste di settore. Per Solferino ha pubblicato “Il cibo è medicina”.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Have you ever walked into a home and immediately felt comfortable — or walked into a beautiful room that somehow felt wrong? Beth Dodson explores why with Lisa Morton, a designer and certified feng shui master teacher with 20+ years of experience. Lisa demystifies the 4,000-year-old practice as a grounded "art and science of arrangement": color affects the nervous system, lighting affects mood, and furniture placement shapes how we connect. They cover the front door as the "mouth of Qi," the walk-in-like-a-stranger exercise, clutter as a subconscious ping, the five elements, the command position for beds and desks, why you shouldn't sleep on top of a to-do list, and one powerful weekend project: love on the center of your home. Skeptics get a challenge too — give it six weeks. Key Topics & Timestamps (00:41) — Why do some homes just feel right? Beth opens with the question everyone has experienced: a room can look beautiful but feel off — and the flow, light, colors, clutter, and furniture may be influencing how you feel and function. (02:29) — What feng shui actually is First off: it's not Chinese food (yes, Lisa's been asked). It's a 4,000-year-old art and science of arrangement — examining whether your home is supporting your stress relief, sleep, and focus, or working against them. (03:53) — The HGTV-ready home that wasn't supporting her Lisa's own story: a designer, photo-shoot-perfect home during a period of anxiety and overwhelm — with the wrong colors, patterns, and imagery. Beautiful, but "just pretty to look at." (05:42) — Quick tips vs. going deep Easy fixes genuinely improve a space, but concrete life shifts require looking at your specific land, layout, lifestyle, and goals — your single-story home with two dogs is not your neighbor's two-story with five kids. (06:45) — The book exercise Beth loves From Aligned at Home: a short guided walk through your own front door, noticing where your eyes go and how you feel — revealing both your goals and your guests' first impression. (07:57) — The front door is the mouth of Qi Energy, opportunities, friendships, and job offers enter here. Keep it fresh: clean rug, pretty wreath, no squeaky hinges. Then walk around the block and re-enter as if you've never been there — what's the first thing your eyes land on? (09:44) — Actually use your front door Garage-door people, take note: hang the dog leash or keep your sneakers in the coat closet so your daily walk moves that front door. An unused door keeps opportunities standing outside. (10:11) — This isn't woo — it's grounded Color affects the nervous system, lighting affects mood (February crankiness is real), and furniture arrangement shapes conversation. A sofa across the room from a lone chair is not an intimate setup. (11:48) — Beth's fiery red sofas Beloved paprika-red sofas... and constant spats with her husband. "Little too spicy, little too fiery." Neutral sofas, happier marriage. Sometimes the fix is color; sometimes it's just rearranging the layout. (12:33) — Shop your home No remodel required. That blue throw pillow in the closet, the candlestick in the pantry — rearrange, repurpose, and shift how energy flows for free. (14:40) — Clutter, gently Clutter carries emotion — fear, holding on, "I might need this." Be kind to yourself, but make sure everything in your home is worthy of being there. Donate rather than landfill: do you really need nine coats, or would eight and a warm neighbor be better? (16:08) — One thing, not the whole house Skip the overwhelming weekend purge. Choose one thing that's blocking you — often that memory-laden box in the corner. Even forgotten clutter "pings" your subconscious like a phone notification. (19:01) — The five elements Wood, fire, earth, metal, water — how feng shui describes the world. Balance them by purpose: bedrooms and reading rooms want watery, earthy calm; kitchens and workout spaces want fire and wood energy. A beige, silent casino would be boring; a red, rock-music spa would be stressful. (21:58) — Bedroom: the command position Solid wall and headboard behind you, door visible off to the side (not directly across from your feet) — the ancient "mountain behind, valley in front." And clean out under your bed: one client was literally sleeping on top of unread books and unfinished photo albums — "sleeping on a to-do list." Others sleep over "the jeans I'll fit into someday." Lisa recommends nothing under the bed. (27:12) — Home office: routine, command, and focus Create a dedicated space — even a nook — and a physical open/close routine (blinds, lamp, chair) that trains your body into and out of work mode. Sit in the command position. And audit your field of view: cute trinkets directly behind your monitor are adorable distractions; move them to a side wall. (31:01) — The skeptic's challenge: six weeks Try the changes for six weeks — you can undo everything after. Lisa's clients call before the deadline: sleeping better, loving their home, finally watching movies together. Journal your emotions at the start and re-evaluate at the end. (32:44) — One thing to do this weekend: love on your center Using the Bagua map (nine energy centers laid over your floor plan), the centermost area connects to all the others. Find your home's center as a bird would see it, and make it beautiful: fresh flowers, a houseplant, swept floors, working bulbs, a scented candle. Lifting the center lifts every space. (34:34) — Bonus: feng shui your car The center console is your car's center — clear the junk, add a granola bar, a nice pen, and a bottle of water, and let it radiate out. (35:34) — Where to find Lisa PureLivingWithLisaMorton.com and @PureLivingWithLisaMorton on social — plus her podcast and her book Aligned at Home, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever you get books. Key Takeaways Feng shui is grounded, not magic: color affects your nervous system, lighting affects mood, and furniture placement shapes connection. Your front door is the "mouth of Qi" — keep it fresh, and build a routine (dog walks, package pickup) that actually uses it. Shop your home before you shop the store: rearranging and repurposing shifts energy for free. Clear clutter gently — one blocking item at a time — because even forgotten clutter pings your subconscious. Ask whether every item is worthy of being in your home; donate what isn't. Sleep and work in the command position: solid wall behind, door visible to the side — and keep nothing under your bed. Balance the five elements by a room's purpose: calm elements for rest spaces, fiery ones for high-energy spaces. Skeptical? Give it six weeks and journal the before-and-after.

Thanks for sticking with the program. Twenty-one more episodes to go till the end of the series. This time in part 4, we pick up with the aftermath of Liu Bang's passing in 195BC. This includes the infamous story of Empress Lü. Also covered will be the peak years of the Western Han under Emperors Wen and Jing. There's also an interlude that examines the long life of Zhao Tuo and his Nanyue Kingdom in the south. Then, the life and times of one of China's great emperors, Han Wudi, will be presented along with the adventures of Zhang Qian. I'll also introduce Dong Zhongshu and show how Confucianism triumphed at the imperial court and became part of the ruling structure. This will be followed by the story of Wang Mang, an old family favorite that also includes the fall of the Western Han, the Xin Dynasty, and the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The episode will conclude with the Eastern Han in pretty bad shape. We'll finish up with the takedown of the Ten Attendants and the introduction of Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao. So, with a lineup like that, you know you're in for a lot of action. From the death of Liu Bang to the rise of Cao Cao, that's a lot of ground to cover. I hope you enjoy.Here's a list of most of the Chinese names from this episode:Lǚ Tàihòu 吕太后, Qì Jī 戚姬, Rú Yì 刘如意, Liú Yíng 刘盈, Hàn Huìdì 汉惠帝, Qiánshào 汉前少, Hòushào 汉后少, Liú Héng 刘恒, Hàn Wéndì 汉文帝, Wáng Zhāojūn 王昭君, Dòu Huánghòu 窦皇后, Liú Qǐ 刘启 / Hàn Jǐngdì 汉景帝, Cháo Cuò 晁错, Zhōu Yàfū 周亚夫, Liú Ché 刘彻 / Hàn Wǔdì 汉武帝, Zhào Tuó 赵陀, Zhào Mò 赵眜, Zhào Yīngqí ,赵婴齐, Sīmǎ Tán 司马谈, Sīmǎ Qiān 司马迁, Dǒng Zhòngshū 董仲舒, Gōngsūn Hóng 公孙弘, Zhāng Qiān 张骞, Gānfù 甘父, Huò Qùbìng 霍去病, Wèi Qīng's 卫青, Lǚ Jiā 吕嘉, King Zhào Xīng 赵兴王, Queen Dowager Jiū 樛太后, Zhào Jiàndé 赵建德, Sīmǎ Xiāngrú 司马相如, Zhuó Wénjūn 卓文君, Liú Hè 刘贺, Huò Guāng 霍光, Han Emperor Zhāo 汉昭帝, Liú Bìngyǐ 刘病已 / Hàn Emperor Xuān 汉宣帝, Hàn Yuándì 汉元帝, Liú Aò 刘骜 / Hàn Chéngdì 汉成帝, Empress Wáng Zhèngjūn 王政君, Liú Xīn 刘欣 / Hàn Emperor Āi 汉哀帝, Wáng Mǎng 王莽, Hàn Pingdì 汉平帝, Rúzǐ Yīng 孺子婴, Liú Yīng 刘婴, Liú Yǎn 刘

“Machine learning over the last few years has become revolutionary. But we still need, and maybe even more so, the constraint and knowledge of rock physics and QI as an integral part of those workflows.” Stephan Gelinsky describes quantitative interpretation as the place “where science meets business impact.” That idea anchors this conversation with Stephan and Per Avseth, built around the May quantitative interpretation special section of The Leading Edge. Elastic FWI and machine learning are moving quickly into QI, but both guests argue that better algorithms make rock physics, geology, and judgment more important, not less. Per also points to a broader challenge. Some students are turning away from reservoir geophysics because they associate it with petroleum, even though the same science is needed for CCS, geothermal, critical minerals, natural hydrogen, and other subsurface problems tied to the energy transition. The question is not whether QI still matters. It is how the field keeps its physics, communicates uncertainty, and shows the next generation where that science can take them. Read May's The Leading Edge special section at https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/tle/issue/45/5. QUESTIONS THIS CONVERSATION ANSWERS > How are elastic FWI and machine learning changing the role of QI specialists? > What makes a QI result trustworthy enough to support a real decision? > Why does QI remain foundational to CCS, geothermal, critical minerals, and other energy-transition problems?

Conference on Practice & Quality Improvement Second Plenary Session - Tuesday, September 1, 2026Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming clinical care, medical education, and research. While AI has significant potential, meaningful integration remains challenging. When AI-powered tools are developed in technology silos without close collaboration with key stakeholders, real-world impact is limited. Even the most powerful AI tools lack practical value if they aren't conceptualized, designed and integrated to address clearly defined and meaningful problems. These challenges highlight the need for a problem-driven approach to AI development and adoption.This session presents a practical framework for advancing AI initiatives grounded in quality improvement (QI) principles. Drawing on Dr. Sattler's experience as a clinician and improvement-focused innovator, the session uses examples across clinical care, education and research to illustrate how AI can be applied to address real-world challenges. Emphasis is placed on identifying meaningful problems as the necessary starting point for exploring AI-enabled solutions and using iterative, small-scale testing to evaluate their impact.This session also highlights the importance of collaboration among key stakeholders and technology developers to ensure that AI tools are responsive to real-world needs. Participants are encouraged to view themselves not as passive users of AI, but as active contributors to its thoughtful development and implementation. The session also addresses potential benefits, limitations, and risks of AI use. Learning Objectives:Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe practical examples for meaningfully integrating AI into clinical practice, education and research.Apply a quality improvement-informed, problem-driven approach to advance a personal AI goal.Evaluate potential benefits, limitations and risks of AI use.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2026Speaker Bio - Amelia Sattler, MD, is a family physician and problem-solver. Her medical training began while seated around the dinner table in rural northern California where, as a child, she was inspired by the joy that her parents experienced working as family practitioners. She ventured to Mayo Medical School in Rochester, MN, where she was “raised” in a culture of medicine that prioritizes the needs of patients. She returned to California to train at Stanford's O'Connor Family Medicine Residency Program. After residency she joined Stanford Family Medicine, where she continues to see patients.Dr Sattler holds three leadership roles. She is an associate program director of the Stanford Healthcare AI Applied Research Team ("HEART") and works with teams to study and implement AI technologies to solve specific, practical problems in healthcare. She is the primary care program director of integrated behavioral health and is partnering with psychiatry, social work and primary care teams to build a collaborative care model at Stanford Primary Care. She is also the associate section chief for program innovation in the Division of Primary Care and Population Health where she collaborates with providers and operational leadership to amplify the impact of their 30+ innovative primary care programs. Website - https://stfm.org/stfmpodcastCPQI26second

We're sharing an episode Jonathan Cohen appeared on that we think you'll love. Jonathan joined the Phenomena Podcast to help close out its season on energy healing and we wanted to bring that conversation to you!What is “energy” in energy healing? Every healer in this series uses the word. Every patient reaches for it. Ancient healing traditions built entire systems around it and modern researchers are striving to study it.But what is energy biologically, physically, measurably and how does it move through the body to influence health and healing? In this episode, three renowned scientists offer remarkable visions that, taken together, start to answer this question.Martin Picard, PhD, of Columbia University has spent his career studying mitochondria, the body's cellular power sources, and has found them far more connected to our inner experiences, our consciousness, than biomedicine ever assumed, and likely far more central to how we heal.Richard Hammerschlag, PhD, co-authored the paper that helped define the modern science of the biofield: the organizing fields of energy and information that operate within the body and extend outward from it. Like the nested Qi fields of older traditions, these are dynamic interrelating layers — energy running all the way in and likely all the way out.Neil Theise, MD, of NYU helped identify the interstitium, a remarkable recent major discovery of a fluid-filled network running throughout the body. Consistent with the intuitions of ancient healing systems, it may help explain how signals fundamental to health and healing actually travel, a new communication network in the body previously overlooked by modern medicine.Together, these three voices present a compelling, eye-opening, and deeply human vision of the body and mind not as a machine, but as a dynamic energetic ecosystem.

In this episode of Taking Healthcare by Storm, Quality Insights Medical Director Dr. Jean Storm speaks with Athena Lorin Hall, MD, a pediatric hospitalist with nine years of experience who spent two additional years in a global health fellowship serving resource-limited communities before founding ZNA Health Network.Dr. Hall explains how her work in Rwanda and the U.S. showed that many patient challenges stem from healthcare system design, with the United States excelling at emergency “rescue” care but falling short on prevention and primary care. She argues that centering lived experience and making communities co-designers of healthcare through efforts like ZNA Health Network can improve health, rebuild trust, and reduce clinician burnout.If you have any topics or guests you'd like to see on future episodes, reach out to us on our website.The views and opinions expressed by the host and guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or policies of Quality Insights.

This week on This Week in Heart Rate Variability, we explore the theme of Performance. Seven studies this week cover urban air pollution, shift work, weighted vests, functional clothing, ergogenic supplementation, elite athlete aging, and real-time exercise intensity classification with DFA-alpha-1. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK 1. Combined mask and headphone use significantly improves HRV during traffic exposure: a randomized crossover RCT PUBLICATION: Journal of Hazardous MaterialsAUTHORS: Meng, Qi, Wang, and Duan KEY FINDING: In a randomized crossover study, 51 healthy young adults (mean age 20, ~40% female) were exposed to four 2-hour conditions at a high-traffic site in Beijing: no intervention, KN95 mask alone, noise-canceling headphones alone, and both combined. Single interventions did not yield a significant HRV benefit. The combined intervention significantly elevated SDNN (+20.3%), RMSSD (+56.8%), SDSD (+62.0%), pNN50 (+61.1%), LF (+128.6%), and HF (+73.8%) relative to control. It also reduced the myocardial injury marker CK-MB by 27.6% and homocysteine by 79.5%. Females showed greater autonomic benefits than males. SIGNIFICANCE: This finding has real implications for urban athletes and anyone training in polluted environments. Wearing just one intervention (mask or headphones) alone did not provide significant protection, but the combined approach demonstrated robust cardiovascular protection during traffic exposure. Read the full study 2. Night shift workers show elevated heart rate fragmentation independent of traditional HRV changes: MESA Sleep cohort PUBLICATION: Chronobiology InternationalAUTHORS: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Sleep study cohort analysis KEY FINDING: A cross-sectional analysis of 845 participants (mean age 64, 51% women) compared heart rate variability and heart rate fragmentation (HRF) across shift types. Night and rotating shift workers had significantly higher PAS - the percentage of normal-to-normal intervals in alternation segments - compared to day workers (+11.9%, 95% CI 1.8-22.0). Traditional HRV metrics showed minimal and inconsistent differences. Sleep duration modified the effect: the PAS difference was most pronounced in short sleepers (+20.4%) and reversed in long sleepers (-10.8%, interaction p=0.06). SIGNIFICANCE: The surprising finding is that traditional HRV showed almost no difference between night-shift and day-shift workers. But a newer metric called heart rate fragmentation - specifically PAS, the percentage of intervals in alternation segments - was significantly elevated in night/rotating shift workers. Sleep duration modulated the severity of that fragmentation, suggesting that this metric captures autonomic stress that standard HRV indices miss. Read the full study 3. Weighted vest use increases cardiovascular workload and transiently suppresses HRV during active wearing, with more pronounced effects in females: ATLAS RCT sub-study PUBLICATION: Physiological ReportsAUTHORS: Bellman, PA Jansson, JO Jansson, Ohlsson, and Bergfe...

Can Qi stop a bullet? That question opens a much larger discussion about the Four Spheres and a common human mistake: trying to solve a problem with the wrong kind of tool. In this episode (1-196), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod explores why physical force, social influence, intelligence, Qi practice, and other approaches each belong to different kinds of problems. The issue is not simply whether one sphere is “stronger” than another, but whether the method being used actually fits the situation. Along the way, Steenrod and Morgan look at Taoist martial skill, surgeons and swordsmen, negotiation, asymmetric warfare, intelligence networks, revolution, and why force often becomes most useful only after better options have already disappeared. And then there is Camelot: Arthur, the Round Table, Merlin, the dream of the perfect kingdom—and Steenrod's observation that he owns shirts that have apparently lasted longer. A practical discussion about timing, strategy, Qi, and why lasting change usually begins before the crisis does. Prefer to watch rather than listen? https://youtu.be/-6_6SYmIn8Q

Last time it was a cockfight. This time it's a pig.In Part 3 of Confucius: The World That Created the Sage, Bernie and Dan follow Confucius to the powerful state of Qi, where he finally gets the opportunity to discuss government with Duke Jing—and comes tantalizingly close to getting the political opportunity he has been waiting for.But when Confucius returns home to Lu, the political order has somehow become even more upside down. The great families who stripped power from their duke are now discovering that their own servants have learned the same lesson. Enter Yang Hu: a household retainer who rises to become one of the most powerful men in Lu—and who very much wants Confucius on his side.What follows includes political intrigue, rebellion, assassination plots, an attempted kidnapping, and one extraordinarily well-chosen gift of pork.And once again, the chaos surrounding Confucius helps us understand the philosophy taking shape in his mind. What does it mean to say "let the ruler be a ruler and the minister a minister" when rulers can't rule, ministers won't obey—and servants are beginning to rule their masters?PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO WHAT'S NEW IN HISTORY YOUTUBE CHANNELhttps://www.youtube.com/@whatsnewinhistoryThis is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.Contact information:E-mail: zimwaupodcast@gmail.comhttp://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.Used here under a commercial Creative Commons license.

This week on EMS One-Stop, I sit down with Liz Harney, almost a year after I first walked into a classroom at EMS World Expo looking for another session to report on and found what I later described as “the keynote I didn't know I needed.” Liz's presentation was built around a part of EMS education we routinely acknowledge but rarely give equal billing: the affective domain — empathy, communication, professionalism, self-awareness and the ability to connect with another human being in what may be the worst moment of their life. But the real power came from Liz herself. Before she was a paramedic, educator and EMS leader, she was the patient. At the lowest point of a decade-long struggle with addiction, one paramedic looked beyond the overdose, the circumstances and the judgement, and treated her as a person who still mattered. Liz credits that interaction not simply with helping save her clinically, but with changing the trajectory of her life. She recovered, entered EMS and ultimately became the kind of paramedic she had encountered that day. It is a remarkable journey from patient to paramedic, and in this conversation, Liz explains why that experience now sits at the heart of everything she teaches about the human side of EMS. | MORE: Liz Harney — the affective domain is the heart of EMS, so why aren't we teaching it? Our discussion also catches up with where Liz's thinking has evolved since. In her recent EMS1 article, “Shiny Happy People,” she takes that same belief in people and applies it to EMS leadership, challenging professionals that is exceptionally good at identifying everything that might go wrong not to let that instinct extinguish every new idea before it gets moving. Together, we connect those themes: the provider who changed one patient's life, the importance of deliberately teaching the affective domain, turning cynics into champions, recognizing burnout through QA and QI, and creating leadership teams with enough optimism and emotional intelligence (EI) to make change happen. At a time when EMS is increasingly consumed by another form of intelligence (AI), the conversation comes back to a proposition I think matters more and more: if we are going to get good at AI, we first need to get much better at EI.

Like there is never a ‘no' in my language.” — Liz Harney “In order to build, in order to make change, in order to move the needle, you have to have folks that are strong in EI to make that happen.” — Liz Harney “There's always room for improvement.” — Liz Harney “I may not be able to teach everyone to care, but I absolutely think you can teach people what caring looks like in practice.” — Liz Harney “No one's ever complained about the gauge of needle that we used, but they've certainly complained that the medic was mean.” — Rob Lawrence “People underestimate the power of storytelling, but I'm here to tell you that is what creates the change into someone, that changes their perspective.” — Liz Harney Episode timeline 00:00 — Harney on surviving addiction, being written off and the potential EMS providers have to influence another person's future 01:02 — Rob welcomes listeners to EMS One-Stop and introduces Liz Harney 02:14 — How Rob first encountered Harney at EMS World Expo and why he describes her presentation as “the keynote I didn't know I needed” 02:40 — Liz Harney 101: critical care paramedicine, organizational leadership, Baptist Health, Kentucky EMS workforce initiatives and Paramedic Pathways 04:10 — Harney reflects on the rapid growth of her speaking platform and why sharing her story remains difficult but necessary 05:32 — The human side of EMS: affect, emotional intelligence and why clinical competence alone is not enough 08:10 — AI versus EI: why Lawrence argues that increasingly intelligent technology makes human emotional intelligence even more important 09:00 — From patient to paramedic: Harney recounts the interaction with the paramedic who changed the direction of her life 18:33 — Revealing her past to colleagues and students, and how that story changes attitudes toward people experiencing addiction 22:08 — Why simply telling EMS students to care does not work — and how Harney began using clinical rotations and direct patient interaction to build the affective domain 23:18 — “Everybody has a story:” students hear directly from people in addiction recovery 25:23 — The cynic-to-champion story: a student's dismissive attitude toward patients with addiction is transformed through one clinical rotation 31:00 — Educating not simply for cognitive and psychomotor competence, but for the clinician the student is becoming 32:15 — Harney moves from education into leadership and begins seeing the same issues around decision-making tables 33:19 — The case for optimism: Harney describes herself as a dreamer and explains how persistent negativity can kill innovation 34:04 — Lawrence's rule: “If we do what we always did, we'll get what we always got” 36:27 — Why potential barriers matter — but introducing every possible objection too early can destroy an idea before it develops 38:02 — “Shiny, happy people:” the discussion turns to Harney's article on optimism, innovation and assembling teams capable of making change 39:02 — Harney describes Kentucky's EMS workforce committee and what happened when a group of optimistic problem-solvers started building ideas without immediately saying “no” 41:00 — Choosing the right people for decision-making groups: why names, titles and tenure should not outweigh emotional intelligence 41:59 — Harney defines EI: self-awareness, self-regulation, communication and empathy 45:00 — “You can teach people what caring looks like in practice.” 45:15 — Lawrence asks whether EMS can genuinely change the affect and attitudes of a generation of clinicians 46:39 — Protecting the workforce: recognizing behavioral changes, cumulative exposure and the early warning signs of burnout 47:41 — QA/QI as more than clinical oversight: documentation can expose frustration and changes in provider behavior 48:07 — The leadership question: “What can I do for you?” 49:27 — The power of storytelling to challenge judgment and change perspectives 49:49 — Harney returns to her own experience: addiction, being cast off and ultimately demonstrating that recovery and transformation are possible 51:10 — Harney's closing message: “You don't have to understand someone's life to understand your responsibility to them.” 52:41 — Turning QA/QI from a fault-finding function into a mechanism for recognizing providers, celebrating success and checking on people carrying heavy cognitive and emotional loads 54:10 — Lawrence recommends seeing Harney speak: “You will come away emotional but enlightened.” Enjoying the show?

This episode originally ran July 19, 2023 *** The actor, writer, comedian, and bon vivant Michael Ian Black is an enthusiast of the word game Scrabble and, in particular, the very short two-letter words that can make all the difference in a competitive game. Sure, lots of players want to use long words of seven or even more letters but a well-placed QI or a sly ZA can rack up more points than one might have ever thought possible, and Michael shares, in a lulling monotone, many more two-letterers that the uncareful player might have never considered. We also talk about the historic Scrabble match where FUCKWIT was played to much controversy and point scoring.

How can you use your voice to enact impact?  In the penultimate episode of our Leading the Way series, Dr Jonathan Darling, our recently departed Vice President for Education and Workforce, speaks with his successor, Dr Yincent Tse, a paediatric nephrologist. The two share valuable insights into leadership, quality improvement and the positive mindset needed to create lasting change.  Jonathan and Yincent discuss the importance of saying 'yes' to opportunities, but also knowing when it is time to move on. Yincent encourages leaders to talk to as many people as possible and to celebrate their colleagues. Coming from a quality improvement background, he approaches his work and leadership by bringing people together, starting small, using the psychology of change and measuring impact.  Yincent reflects on his experience growing up with a stammer and how this drove him to use his voice to make connections and centre the voices of his colleagues and patients. An example of this is KidzMed, which started as a conversation between Yincent and his colleagues and patients about the challenges of liquid medicine for children. The result was a QI project across hospitals which converted many CYP from liquid to tablet medicine.  Yincent leads with a positive attitude that drives solution-oriented change. Two taekaways for listeners: use your voice and apply quality improvement principles.

Shanghai is expanding overseas access to computing power and foundational artificial intelligence models to boost the city's trade in services, with a new plan setting a goal of increasing the sector's scale to more than $300 billion by 2030.上海正面向海外开放算力以及基础人工智能模型资源，以此拉动本市服务贸易；一份全新规划定下目标：2030年前服务贸易规模突破3000亿美元。Experts said that the move would help make AI a new growth driver and strengthen the city's role as a global trade in services hub.专家表示，该举措能够促使人工智能成为全新增长引擎，并巩固上海全球服务贸易枢纽的地位。On Monday, a plan to build Shanghai into a national demonstration zone for service trade innovation and development was unveiled.本周一，上海建设国家服务贸易创新发展示范区的规划正式对外公布。Jointly released by seven departments, including the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, the plan sets a goal of increasing the city's service trade volume to $270 billion by 2027 and surpassing $300 billion by 2030.该规划由上海市商务委员会等七个部门联合印发；计划提出，2027年上海服务贸易总额达到2700亿美元，2030年突破3000亿美元。The plan calls for the development of service trade related to the AI industry, attracting global companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai, and building an open innovation ecosystem.规划提出发展人工智能产业相关服务贸易，吸引海内外企业与机构在沪设立人工智能研发中心、开源平台以及联合实验室，搭建开放式创新生态体系。Coordinated development协同发展Zhong Junhao, secretarygeneral of the Shanghai AI Industry Association, said that for the first time, the plan incorporates the coordinated development of the AI industry into the broader framework of a city's service trade development, marking the use of computing power as a new growth driver for the sector.上海市人工智能行业协会秘书长钟俊浩称，这份规划首次将人工智能产业协同发展纳入全市服务贸易发展的整体框架，标志着算力正式成为服务贸易全新增长动力。"Encouraging companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai is essentially an openingup of both the import and international cooperation sides of trade in services," Zhong said.钟俊浩表示：“鼓励各类企业、机构落地上海搭建人工智能研发中心、开源平台、联合实验室，本质上是服务贸易在进口领域和国际合作层面的双向对外开放。”By bringing talent, code, research facilities and opensource communities to Shanghai, he said the city can create a platform connecting international institutions, multinational R&D units and local innovation communities within the same network.他谈到，通过集聚人才、程序代码、科研设施与开源社群，上海可打造一体化平台，连通国际机构、跨国企业研发部门以及本土创新社群。On July 16, 29 countries signed an agreement in Shanghai to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. Headquartered in Shanghai, the organization is officially positioned as an independent intergovernmental international body focusing on capacity building, alignment of rules and standards, application cooperation and global AI governance.7月16日，29个国家于上海签署协议，成立世界人工智能合作组织。该组织总部落户上海，定位为独立的政府间国际机构，主攻能力建设、规则标准对接、应用合作以及全球人工智能治理。The trade in services demonstration zone plan includes measures to accelerate headquarters development and explore governance, adding institutional support for Shanghai's international AI cooperation, Zhong said.钟俊浩介绍，这份服务贸易示范区方案含有加快总部经济建设、探索新型治理模式的多项举措，为上海开展人工智能国际合作提供制度保障。Complete ecosystem完备产业生态Addressing a news conference in July, Chen Jie, vicemayor of Shanghai, said, "Shanghai has now built a complete development ecosystem that integrates independent innovation, applicationdriven growth, open collaboration, ecological synergy and security governance."上海市副市长陈杰于7月的新闻发布会上发言：“上海现已建成集自主创新、应用牵引增长、开放协作、生态协同、安全治理于一体的完整发展生态。”According to him, Shanghai's 394 AI enterprises above the designated size, each with an annual revenue of at least 20 million yuan ($2.96 million), saw their combined industry scale exceed 637 billion yuan in 2025, a yearonyear increase of 39.5 percent, making AI a new growth driver for the city's economy.据其介绍，上海现有394家规模以上人工智能企业（年营收不低于2000万元，折合296万美元）；2025年产业总规模突破6370亿元，同比上涨39.5%，人工智能已然成为上海经济全新增长引擎。The plan outlines 27 key tasks across six areas, covering industrial and supply chain upgrading, innovation in new business models, stronger business competitiveness, more efficient supply, higherlevel openingup, and mechanisms to support both domestic and international development.该规划从六大方向部署27项重点任务，涵盖产业链供应链升级、新业态模式创新、增强企业竞争力、优化供给效能、高水平对外开放、搭建兼顾国内外发展的保障机制。Qi Xiaozhai, vicechairman of the Commerce Economy Association of China, said: "In the past, we placed greater emphasis on trade in goods than on trade in services, especially service exports. However, in recent years, service trade has grown much faster than goods trade. Last year, the value of service trade reached 8.08 trillion yuan, up 7.4 percent yearonyear, 3.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of goods trade."中国商业经济学会副会长齐晓斋表示：“过去我国重货物贸易、轻服务贸易，尤其忽视服务出口。但近些年服务贸易增速远超货物贸易；去年我国服务贸易总额达8.08万亿元，同比增长7.4%，增速比货物贸易高出3.6个百分点。”"Domestic consumption of services, including catering, entertainment and leisure, has also grown faster than the consumption of goods. Against this backdrop, China has developed new advantages in service trade, particularly in emerging digital technologies such as AI, big data, cloud computing and blockchain," Qi added.齐晓斋补充道：“餐饮、文娱休闲等国内服务消费增速同样高于商品消费。在此背景之下，我国服务贸易培育出新优势，尤其在人工智能、大数据、云计算、区块链等新兴数字技术领域。”By 2035, China aims to establish around 35 demonstration zones with leading service trade scale, concentrated highend resources, strong innovation capabilities and significant regional influence, he said.他称，我国计划至2035年建成大约35处服务贸易示范区；示范区需要做到贸易规模领先、高端资源集聚、创新能力出众、区域辐射影响力强劲。The country will foster a number of internationally competitive service export enterprises and key service industry clusters, while forming a development pattern in which service trade, investment, consumption and industries are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, he added.他还提到，国家将培育一批具备国际竞争力的服务出口企业以及重点服务业产业集群，促成服务贸易、投资、消费、实体经济互联互通、相辅相成的发展格局。foundational /faʊnˈdeɪʃənl/基础的；根基性的intergovernmental /ˌɪntəɡʌvənˈmentl/政府间的cluster /ˈklʌstə(r)/产业集群，集聚片区

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

Pediatric acupuncturist Kenna Bouvet, founder of Earth and Sky Massage and Acupuncture, joins us to explore what acupuncture and bodywork can look like for babies and kids, far beyond the stereotype of “needles in little bodies.” She shares how her own childhood digestive issues and dance injuries led her to acupuncture, and how that journey now informs her work with families navigating colic, feeding difficulties, constipation, respiratory issues, and chronic stress. Kenna also reflects on her time in the pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant units at Columbia Medical Center, where she treated children and supported entire families through high‑stress hospital stays.We dive into pediatric Tui Na (Chinese medical massage for kids) and Shonishin, a Japanese non‑needling technique that uses gentle stroking and tapping tools to support infants with feeding challenges, tension from birth, colic, latch issues, and digestive or respiratory concerns. Kenna explains why she rarely needles at a first visit, how she lets kids lead the session, and how she teaches parents simple, realistic touch‑based tools they can actually use at home. The conversation also highlights cultural traditions of baby massage and the shared language of Qi and prana, emphasizing touch, agency, and connection as central to healing in the perinatal and pediatric period.Connect with Kenna: earthskylic.comTeachers she mentioned:Program manager of the Integrative Therapies Program at Columbia medical - Michelle Bombacie For NYC pediatric acupuncture training - JingShen Pediatrics with Moshe Heller and Stephen CowanUK pediatric acupuncture teacher - Rebecca Avern Shonishin - Thomas Wernicke Click here and use your exclusive 20% listener discount (Code: Fit20) to enroll in Master Your Pelvic Floor, our signature self-paced course that will change the way you understand and care for your body.

What if burnout isn't a sign that you're broken—but that you've become disconnected from yourself?

Right, we're kicking off this new series on the Three Treasures - Jing, Qi, and Shen - and I've brought in an absolute legend to help us navigate this. Benny is a fixture around here, living just a stone's throw from the studio, and he's the perfect guide for this series. He comes from a hardcore performance background - sports, movement, the works - but he's spent years deep in the trenches of neurosomatic movement and nervous system work, which makes him the perfect bridge between high-level performance and ancient Taoist principles. We're starting with Jing, but forget the dusty, abstract textbook definitions. Benny's all about the "slow melt." He's here to talk about why we've all been drifting out of alignment and calling it "normal." We've basically turned the health space into another arena of performance where we're constantly searching for the next "optimal" diet or training style to fix us, while our nervous system - the canary in the coal mine - is trying to whisper that we're burning the candle at both ends. We're overriding fatigue, pushing through tension, and treating our body like a project rather than a relationship. Benny's work is all about coming back home to the body. He challenges us to stop treating stillness as just another "de-stress" ritual to check off a packed calendar. Instead, he reframes cultivation as gardening: it's about pulling the weeds - those unresolved tensions and habits - so you can actually grow something. It's not about adding more; it's about clearing space. We dig into why we're so good at ignoring those early signals, and how to stop treating your body like a problem to solve. It's an eye-opening conversation on remembering what's already there - protecting your base, honoring the whispers, and building a life that doesn't drain you dry. It's not easy, but it is real. Let's get to it. Key Points We Touch On Why the Three Treasures offer a different way of understanding health Cultivation as a lifelong relationship, not another wellness practice Coming home to your body instead of outsourcing your health Why stillness is essential for self-awareness The body as a relationship, not a problem to solve Learning to listen before trying to fix Protecting your essence in a world that constantly drains it How identity, conditioning, and performance disconnect us from ourselves Authenticity as the foundation of genuine health Preparing the ground for the journey through Jing, Qi, and Shen Resources: Websites / Platforms movementmonk.xyz - Benny's website Courses / Programs The Body Trust Experience - a new offering Benny's launching to help establish the foundations of this work Explore Our Transformative Program Onboarding/intro courses Practice Material  (EP#56) Embodied Movement with the Movement Monk Benny Fergusson

As chronic, hard-to-treat disorders become more common in clinic, many practitioners are returning to Wen Bing theory for answers.In this conversation with Kerri Westhauser, we explore lurking pathogen theory and how deep-lying evils help explain complex conditions like lupus and POTS.We also discuss why tonification often backfires in chronic disease, and the importance of venting, regulating, and mobilizing Shen to keep the body's pathways open.Listen in for a practical rethinking of the Wei and Qi levels and how to locate disease that has gone into hiding.

Things don't look great for console and game makers right now. With Xbox and PlayStation sales flagging, Microsoft preparing for big layoffs in its gaming division, and the price of everything on the rise, maybe it makes sense to save money where you can. You know, like making discs? David and Nilay discuss the end of the physical video game, before wondering whether Microsoft might be getting ready to get rid of Xbox altogether. After that, they talk about the new wave of hardware for AI coders, and the ongoing attempt to replace your laptop keyboard with... something, plus the latest iPhone 18 rumors and leaks. Finally, it's time for the Hype Desk, Brendan Carr is a Dummy, some breaking SpaceX phone news, and some truly wild BMW headlights.
