Podcasts about Ramadan

Episode #206 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Are there common strategies that help to avoid the common pitfalls of Ramadan, like late night eating, overeating, or accidentally doing OMAD for too long and slowing down the metabolic rate? [01:07] Concerns about off-label use of GLP-1s. Some medical professionals seem to be prescribing GLP-1 medications for anti-aging/longevity purposes in people who aren't overweight or diabetic. What do you think about the trend of “microdosing” GLP-1s as a preventative health measure? [02:36] Are there further short and long-term side effects of GLP-1s coming to light? [06:36] Are there ethical concerns around supply issues with GLP-1s due to increased demand from off-label use? [ 10:12] Are there bioethical concerns about GLP-1s that doctors should be discussing with patients? [12:03] Can you address how people with Type 1 diabetes can develop insulin resistance similar to those with Type 2, sometimes referred to as ‘double diabetes'? [16:21] How concerning is an elevated Lp(a) and how can you lower it? [20:47] Do you know of research or trials with fasting to reduce prostate size?  [26:28] Can someone who is considering kidney donation fast/fat fast? [29:08] I'm seeing many reputable sources saying that the claims against seed oils aren't actually based in the science. I'm curious whether Dr. Fung's opinion has evolved on this?

You try to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah—then you're told you're rigid. You quote the Salaf—then you're labelled a Wahhabi. And why do others accuse you of being extreme—for simply following what the Salaf believed? This lecture tackles these tensions head-on—through the words of early and authentic voices of Ahl al-Hadith. Study the book I'tiqad A'immah al-Hadith by Imam Abu Bakr al-Ismaʿili (d. 371H). With Shaikh Dr. Asim Al-Qaryooti, we explore how the true Imams of the Sunnah understood and lived their creed. The book dismantles many modern doubts and deviations by clearly stating what the Salaf believed regarding: - Allah's Names and Attributes - The authority of authentic Hadith in Aqeedah—even if it's Aahaad - Rejecting blind following when it clashes with the Qur'an and Sunnah - Avoiding philosophy, kalam, and speculative theology, and returning to the clear guidance of revelation - True loyalty to the Imams—by following their principles, not their mistakes This is the creed that stood the test of time. A creed based on the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the first three generations. If you've ever struggled with the tension between following the evidence and adopting Taqleed… if you've been told that affirming Allah's Attributes means you're anthropomorphising… or if you want to know what the scholars of Hadith actually believed—this is the session to watch. Clear. Grounded. Unapologetic. This is the Aqeedah of Ahl al-Hadith.

Not everything attributed to the Prophet ﷺ is authentic — and the responsibility of distinguishing truth from error fell upon the scholars of hadith. In this first session of the explanation of Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble introduces the principles that underpin the science of hadith. You'll begin to see how narrations were assessed, why precision mattered, and how the early scholars approached the words of the Prophet ﷺ with both reverence and rigour. What to expect in this session: - The difference between primary and supporting Islamic sciences—and where hadith fits in - Why the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم exercised caution in narration, despite being eyewitnesses to the revelations - How scholars judged narrators and filtered weak reports from reliable ones - What makes a hadith Sahih, Hasan, or Da'if—and why these aren't casual labels - The roots of hadith verification long before books were even compiled This session lays the groundwork for a science that shaped Islamic scholarship—and preserved the Sunnah for generations to come.

A chain of narration might look complete—until you realise one connection was only assumed, not proven. In the second session of the explanation of the book Nukhbat al-Fikr, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble continues uncovering the inner mechanics of hadith authentication. This session goes beyond theory—showing how a single oversight, a misplaced narrator, or a subtle shift in wording can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. You'll explore the exacting methods used to spot breaks in the isnad, the difference between broken and deleted chains, and how scholars dealt with weak or misleading reports. From the high standards of Bukhari and Muslim to the dangers of modal defects, every principle reveals just how much scrutiny was required to protect the Sunnah. What you'll learn: - The difference between a missing narrator and a deleted chain - When weak hadith can support one another—and when they cannot - What makes a narrator credible—and what raises red flags - How scholars spotted misleading narrations that weren't lies, but weren't complete truths either - Why even minor name confusion can affect authenticity - The precision behind the classification of Sahih, Hasan, and Da'if Every narration was weighed. Every claim investigated. This is the science that preserved the words of the Prophet ﷺ—with honesty, skill, and a deep sense of responsibility.

Stories from My Hippy Days, Part 2 Featuring David and Rhonda A year or more ago we did a Part 1 podcast on stories from my days as a Stanford Medical student in the late 1960s. This was the Hippy Era and the famous “Summer of Love.” A young man, Clyde, recently asked if we'd do Part 2, since we didn't get to all the stories the first time around. As an aside, there are more stories, so if you like them, we'd be happy to do a Part 3 as well. 1. Husain Chung and the crazy teen from LA: When a stallion wants to run, you run with the stallion!” 2. A frightening encounter with Vic Lovell: And a mentor's advice on how to handle it. 3. Bar next to the Free University Coffee House: Outrageous works, even with the Hell's Angels. 4. The bearded man on the quad near the Stanford Student Union—Telling me to “sit with open hands” 5. Ken Kesey and his merry pranksters walked into the Stanford Student Union—they were dressed in pajamas or clown outfits and Neil Cassady was juggling hammers. 6. The tape recorder experiment: Bizarre week, unexpected conclusion. 7. Encounter at the Medical School: “Psychiatry and Psychotherapy—Are they Relevant or Obsolete?” Featuring Hussain Chung 8.

In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) dives deep into something many Muslims struggle with - making Dua for years without seeing results and wondering "maybe Allah doesn't want this for me." He shares his personal journey with trying to pray Fajr in the masjid for 30+ years while battling insomnia. The breakthrough came when he realized it wasn't about Allah rejecting his dua - it was about his strategy.That's the good news he wants to share: those Duas you thought would never be answered might just need the right approach. Shaykh (rA) explores different types of Duas - some happen immediately (like his childhood Ramadan story), while others require effort and strategic planning. Just like building a house requires more than just money for construction, our bigger duas often need foundations and multi-level planning.It's time to elevate our Duas beyond just jobs, houses, and cars. He challenges listeners to develop a decade-long vision, because an excellent life never happens by accident - just as we tell non-Muslims that the universe's excellence proves Allah's existence!Learn from prophetic examples like Nuh (AS) building the ark and Musa (AS) leaving comfort to free Bani Israel. Their stories show that even miraculous outcomes required strategic effort first.

In this conversation, Shaykh Omar Hedroug discusses the importance of connecting youth to Islam, the role of community support, and the significance of preparing for Ramadan. He shares his experiences at the University of Medina and emphasizes the difference between knowledge and wisdom in learning. The discussion highlights the need for empathy, the continuous journey of spirituality, and the value of real-life experiences in understanding Islamic teachings. In this conversation, Omar and Osama explore the profound themes of knowledge, resilience, patience, and healing within the context of faith. They discuss the importance of learning from lived experiences, the strength found in adversity, and the necessity of trusting Allah's plan in our lives. The dialogue also touches on the challenges of relationships, the lessons learned from past experiences, and the impact of scholars on personal growth and understanding.

Why do things keep going wrong in your life—and you can't figure out why? You're trying harder and harder. But the problems don't stop. The truth is:  It might not be a test… it might be your sins. In this eye-opening lecture, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores the hidden impact of disobedience—from Rizq being withheld to hearts being sealed, to calamities that echo the fate of destroyed nations. You'll hear how even private sins leave public traces—on your health, your family, and your provision. - What are the roots of all sin? - What turns blessings into trials? - And what must you do before it's too late? The effects are real—and the solution is clear. Watch now.

Most people assume sleep breaks wudu — but is that always the case? In this episode of al-Muwatta, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores a narration from Umar ibn al-Khattab (Kitab at-Taharah, Hadith 10) and walks through seven major scholarly views on the impact of sleep on wudu. From deep sleep to light naps, sitting to lying down — the rulings differ, and so do the reasons behind them. Towards the end, the lesson dives deep into the evidences brought by those who argue that sleep does not break wudu — and the detailed responses to that view. An eye-opening discussion every student of knowledge needs to hear.

Who are the Awliya of Allah — really? A secret group of forty-something individuals unknown to the world? A status passed down through secret, esoteric knowledge? Or something entirely different? In this lecture, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble challenges the myths and uncovers the truth about the concept of Awliya — drawn from the Qur'an and authentic Hadith. He explores what it truly means to be a Wali of Allah — and what kind of person attains that status. But more than that, he shows you the path to becoming a true Wali of Allah. Step by step, you'll see the actions that draw a person closer to Allah, deepen their connection with Him, and earn His special love and protection. The idea might seem distant — even out of reach. This lesson shows you it's not.

Can a divorce uttered as a joke actually count? Can luxury travel via a flight still qualify as hardship? What if your intention is right—but your action is wrong? In this deep dive into Al-Manzoomah Al-Fadfariyyah fi al-Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks a 145-line poem by Shaykh Anwar Al-Fadfari—containing 72 principles that form the backbone of fiqh reasoning. You'll explore how scholars apply these maxims across real scenarios: - Fasting while travelling: when is it ease—and when is it obligation? - When joking about divorce has real consequences - The limits of necessity: can you eat haram meat to survive? - How intention transforms rulings—and when it doesn't - When following a scholar becomes blind imitation - What makes a contract valid—or void - And why some rulings may seem to conflict—but in reality, they do not This isn't just a book of poetry—it's a structured foundation for every student of fiqh who wants to think clearly, apply correctly, and live by principles rooted in revelation.

Can skipping meals actually trigger your migraines—or could fasting be a tool for healing? In this episode, we explore one of the most controversial topics in the migraine world: fasting. While it's praised for benefits like reduced inflammation, balanced blood sugar, and mental clarity, fasting can also backfire—especially for women or those already walking a fine line with their health.Drawing on recent studies, real-world client stories, and ancient practices like Ramadan fasting, we break down the biological mechanisms that connect fasting to both headache relief and headache onset. From blood sugar crashes to hormone imbalances, you'll understand exactly when fasting might help—and when it might make things worse.What you'll learn:Why fasting can either reduce or trigger migraines—depending on how and who you are.The science behind fasting headaches, including blood sugar dips, dehydration, cortisol spikes, and caffeine withdrawal.How fasting affects women differently, especially those with hormonal issues, PCOS, or fertility goals.If you've ever skipped a meal and ended up with a pounding head—or wondered if intermittent fasting could help your migraines—this episode gives you the clarity you've been craving. Spoiler: fasting is not one-size-fits-all.

They praised him in public, plotted against him in secret. When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Madinah, the open enemies from the People of the Book and the non-believing Arab tribes weren't the only threat—hidden among the people were those who smiled in his face while harbouring hatred in their hearts.  This episode uncovers how hypocrisy took root in Madinah and why it became one of the most dangerous threats to the Muslims. Dive into the traits of the hypocrites—those with the most beautiful words but the ugliest intentions. Discover how the Qur'an exposed them, how the Prophet ﷺ warned against them, and why this disease of the heart terrified even the greatest of the companions رضي الله عنهم.

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Noor Abdalla, a Syrian-American dentist and the wife of Mr. Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian student activist and legal U.S. resident who has been illegally detained by ICE since March 8, 2025, for speaking out about Palestinian rights. Mr. Khalil was abducted by ICE while coming home from a Ramadan iftar with Dr. Abdalla, who was 8 months pregnant at the time. Mr. Khalil's chilling abduction has sent shockwaves through student and activist communities around the world. In her own words, Dr. Abdalla recounts the horrific moment her husband was taken in front of her and speaks with host Diana Buttu about the ongoing toll this separation has taken on their lives. On April 21, Dr. Abdalla gave birth to their first child without Mahmoud by her side. In a cruel decision, the Department of Homeland Security denied Mr. Khalil's request and permission to attend the birth of his first child, whom Mr. Khalil has only met over video. While speaking with Ms. Buttu, Dr. Abdalla not only delivers a powerful call for her husband's freedom, but she also states that this is not just about Mahmoud; this is about all of us, and we must refuse to be silent about Palestinian rights and continue to speak out during times of injustice. Mr. Khalil is one of the many students and scholars being targeted by the Trump administration for speaking out against Israel's genocide in Gaza and demanding that the US stop supplying weapons to Israel. From Columbia University to Tufts, ICE has orchestrated a wave of politically motivated unlawful detentions—often in public, and without warning or due process. Please see below the ways you can learn more about the call for Mr. Khalil's freedom and safe return home with his family: IG: @justice4mahmoud https://www.instagram.com/justice4mahmoud/?igsh=MXA5aXR0Zzh4a3k4dA%3D%3D# Thank you for tuning into This is Palestine, the official podcast of The IMEU!

According to Whatsapp, over 7 billion voice notes are sent on the app every day. A lot of the time, they offer a more personal touch and clearer explanations than text messages. But not everyone is a fan.  Tech journalist Victoria Turk published an article on the Huffington Post in 2019 under the headline “Can We All Agree That WhatsApp Voice Notes Are Terrible?”, while in 2023 Women's Health Mag ran a feature on voice note fatigue, marking the messaging feature's 10th anniversary. Why do some people rely so heavily on voice notes? Why not just make a phone call instead? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

When was the last time your heart truly trembled at Allah's Words? Surah Al-Hadeed calls out to every heart that has been numbed by the distractions of the Dunya, burdened by delays in repentance, deceived by wealth and status, and distant from Allah without even realising it. In this deep Tafseer, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan shows you: - How the Dunya fools you with beauty — before it crumbles in your hands. - Why real strength is not what you own, but how close you are to Allah. - What happens to those who delay softening their hearts — until nothing softens them anymore. - How Allah's knowledge, Qadar, and mercy change how you see every test and loss. - Why some people will walk with light on the Day of Judgment… while others are left behind in darkness. If you've found yourself delaying repentance, stuck in routine, chasing more but feeling less, this Surah is your call to wake up, before it's too late. No motivational speech. No false promises. Just the truth Allah revealed — to shake your heart back to life.

Rathaus-Ramadan! - Im neuen Wochenkommentar geht es heute um die spannende Wien-Wahl, um wirksame Instrumente gegen Hass und Hetze und um Kinder, die von deutschen Vätern erstochen werden.

They say the truth is complicated — but Ahlus Sunnah carry it in just a few lines. In a time where creed is debated, diluted, and reshaped by opinions, desires, and philosophy, there is a need to return to where clarity begins: the preserved, untainted Aqeedah of the Salaf. In this lecture, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Al-Ha'iyyah by Ibn Abi Dawud — a 33-line poem that lays out the core beliefs every Muslim must hold. What do we affirm — and what do we reject — about Allah's Names and Attributes? What are the four levels of Qadr that every Muslim must understand? Why is reviling the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم not just deviation — but a threat to the religion itself? How do innovations (Bid'ah) lead people away from the path of truth? From the uncreated speech of Allah to the status of the companions... From the limits of intellect to the binding force of Ijma'... This is where the line is drawn — and where the truth stands firm.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. Over the Passover holiday, some 6,315 Jews visited the Temple Mount, a 37% rise over last year. Among them, Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot, where he participated in a prayer service and prostrated himself on the ground in worship — activities that are nominally prohibited for Jews at the flashpoint holy site. Sukkot hailed the “tremendous change” since he was arrested for the same act 14 years ago. Meanwhile, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the Israel Police, which enforces law and security on the Mount, boasted that a shift in the unwritten status quo that governs the site was a result of his policies. He was up on the mount earlier in the month. In a statement, Ben Gvir said, “I’m happy to see that MK Zvi Sukkot, like many thousands, is prostrating himself and praying at the Temple Mount.. What wasn’t done for 30 years is being done on my watch, and I’m glad to have the honor, by the grace of God, to lead this huge change.” So this week, Berman delves into whether this is such a "huge change" and how we arrived at the current precarious balance. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and the video was edited by Thomas Girsch.

The fact that people have to tell us sometimes you think you're hungry when you just need a drink of water, the fact we have to be told this because we have become so disconnected from our heads to our bodies about when we are actually hungry, or if you're hungry, your body is saying hi, I don't have enough fuel to do the thing you asked me to do. So I really just thought it was really cool. Lesley Logan 0:26  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:09  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the intentional convo I have with Sabrina Magnan in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that episode, go listen to it and then listen to this one, or stick around and then go listen to that one, because that's just like how podcast apps can work. You guys, today is April 24th 2025 it's World Immunization Week. I feel a pedestal from Brad coming in. World world of music. You guys, we're using our platform how we can. Brad Crowell 1:41  Maybe.Lesley Logan 1:43  World Immunization Week is an annual event observed in the last week of April. Aims to educate the public about why vaccines are necessary for the health of millions of people around the world. For numerous reasons, children and adults miss out on essential vaccines, which increases the risk of contracting various preventable diseases such as polio, measles and smallpox. The purpose of this week is to identify challenges and gain access to vaccines and overcome those barriers for the benefit the global populations. People now realize that unless everyone is safe from disease, no one is truly immune. Well, you guys were really fucking this up. So obviously, if you listen to this, you probably have done all your children's and your MMRs, but please check in if you are eligible for the boosters for measles, because depending on when you got your shots, you might have only gotten one shot, so you may actually need to do additional one depending on how around people you are, because this is like a huge thing. When I was in L.A., there was like a freaking whooping cough outbreak amongst the private school, and my client had been in my studio three times after her kid had whooping cough. Didn't seem to think to tell me, and I was like, you're exposing me to whooping cough. So there's just different things we have to be aware of. Also, if you are of a certain age, you might have to get your shingles vaccine. You don't want to actually get shingles. I promise you, there's like nerve damage that happens. It's very painful. So please educate yourself. If you come at me because you think it's causing things that have scientifically been disproven multiple times, I will not respond to you. I don't need to, but I do think you should go and educate yourself and make decisions that are right for you and those around you. Brad Crowell 3:20  Yeah, in Texas, we have a measles outbreak right now in the United States. There's a whole lot of people trying to figure that out. And the reality is, the people who are getting measles never got vaccine. They never got the vaccine, but because of it now it's one of the most contagious diseases ever, and because of it now it's putting people who may have gotten it 40, 50 years ago at risk because it, meaning the vaccine, 40, 50 years ago, at risk because science has changed over time. Things have changed and shifted and grown. I was listening to a podcast where they interviewed a woman who's, I can't remember, but she was a doctor at the NIH, and she was basically saying that what they found is that before 1968 they recommended to go get a measles booster. From 1968 to 1989 where we were born, Lesley and I were born, it was medicine generally said go get one dose of the vaccine, but you are, now they're saying you should have at least two. So I contacted my mom. Somehow I actually had two doses of the vaccine, right? But, otherwise.Lesley Logan 3:20  Typically, you would have gotten the one at, one as a kid and then one, you're. Brad Crowell 4:01  In the 90s, like 10 years later.Lesley Logan 4:08  Yes and then you would have gotten one when you went to school. That's how it went. Brad Crowell 4:21  That's what it was. So I got one when I was born, and then I got one before I went to elementary school.Lesley Logan 4:35  Yes, so go get your tetanus. When? If you don't remember, it's probably (inaudible). Brad Crowell 4:39  Go get a tetanus shot. You don't want to deal with that.Lesley Logan 4:42  No, they're preventable, you know. Brad Crowell 4:44  And honestly, all the way down to just the flu shot. Lesley Logan 4:47  Well, you know, here's the thing, here's, here's, if you're like, I'm against all these things. So Brad's brother and sister in law, so they had a third baby, and the third baby was born premature, and we were the only ones in the family who got to go see this little cutie pie because we had a flu shot. Like, it's not about you, it's about like premature babies and little kids and people with immune suppressed issues, that's why you get it, because you might survive it, but the person next to you who's dealing with childhood cancer won't. So think about other people. Brad Crowell 5:21  Yep, that's all. Lesley Logan 5:23  Sorry. Well, I guess I joined on the soapbox. Okay, I'm back from Pilates Anytime filming. We had so much fun. Those classes will come out in the fall. If you're not a Pilates Anytime, member, you can use L Logan for a 30-day trial. I have a ton of classes on there. You can just search out all of mine. They're really, really fun. And we have announced and space is filling up like crazy, because it's a very limited amount of people who can join us on the Mullet Tour in the U.K. So yes, we are coming to Leeds and Essex in September, and we are doing a Mullet Tour, which means business in the front, Pilates in the back. So business workshops in the morning, Pilates classes and workshops in the afternoon. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Brad Crowell 6:04  It's gonna be a blast. So go to opc.me/uk to get more information. We're past the waitlist at this point. Go find out the deets, opc.me/uk, and then at the end of the month, we're getting really close here, this is the 24th today, so. Lesley Logan 6:18  Three days, so you're just gonna go to. Brad Crowell 6:21  opc.me/events, opc.me/events Come join us for spring training.

It's like, actually hangout sessions. Brad Crowell 6:43  Yeah, community, great questions.Lesley Logan 6:44  Asking the questions, where you actually (inaudible) with. All the OPC teachers and myself, I'm teaching like four of the classes, I think. It's just going to be a ton of fun. And we have team uniforms, guys, like baseball jerseys. We are ready to go. The dog has a uniform. He's a home rough. He's a bat boy, bat dog. He's all the things. Brad got a jersey. It's, yes, it's pink.

There are replays on the classes who can't join live and what else, Brad?Brad Crowell 7:18  Yeah, so come join me for a free webinar. If you are taking clients, taking payments from clients, we want to help you. Want to support you. We want to share with you what we've learned over the last seven years of coaching people, over the last 10 years of doing it ourselves, we've literally had to be in the trenches doing the same exact things you're doing to grow your business, to meet new clients. How do I introduce myself? What am I supposed to say? I get tongue-tied. It's awkward. I feel like a salesperson. All these kinds of things. We were in the same exact position that you were in now. And because we realized that we had to get better at it, was we went out and we learned. We started studying with coaches for, I don't know, six years in a row, we hired coaches to help us with sales, copy, email writing. How do we, you know, say things, what should our website be, do, have? How do we become more known in our community? And we started Agency to share these things with you, right? And then, what that's allowed us to do is to then be alongside more than 2500 businesses just like yours over the past seven years, helping everyone solve these problems, and we can work with you to solve the same things. How do I get new clients? How do I actually fire a client that I hate? I need to fire the teacher for me. I really need help with my admin, all these kinds of things, insurance, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, free webinar. I want you to come join me for it. It's called the growth accelerator. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator. And then finally. Lesley Logan 7:27  We're going to Cambodia. We want you to come with us. Why haven't you signed up? This is your reminder. Go to crowsnestretreats.com and snag your spot. And let's go. Let's go to Siem Reap. I think it's like another thing I've been thinking about. You might be going why are we going to Cambodia? So if you've heard the town Siem Reap. Brad Crowell 9:05  Siem Reap. Lesley Logan 9:05  Siem Reap, that's where all the temples are.Brad Crowell 9:07  The Temples of Angkor. Angkor, A-N-G-K-O-R. Angkor was the, one of the largest civilizations, landmass wise, it was actually they controlled what we now consider Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and all the way up through parts of Thailand. They would go to war with the Thai. They would go to war with India. They would go to war with all these, these places, right? It was a massive, massive civilization, and they built over 1000 major structures, and they're mostly temples. And then they were eaten by the jungle, and a thousand years later, they were, quote-unquote, rediscovered. And they are stunning, y'all, it's mind-blowingly cool.Lesley Logan 9:46  And if you go on some random cruise, they're gonna take you to three and we're gonna take you to way more than three, and we're gonna do Pilates, we're gonna do a Lotus Farm, and we're gonna go to a water village, and you're just going to learn so much and be so awed, like one in wonderment. Yeah, you'll be in wonderment, and it's gonna help you.Brad Crowell 10:04  You'll just be so odd, it's just gonna be so weird. Lesley Logan 10:06  Yeah, you mean awed. Anyways, come, crowsnestretreats.com.Brad Crowell 10:11  Yeah, if you want to stay an extra day or two, we love to go to a waterfall. We love to go see elephants.Lesley Logan 10:16  The waterfall and the elephants are on the extra day. Brad Crowell 10:18  Yeah, those are extra afterwards, because they're longer day trips and we can't fit them into the full retreat so.Lesley Logan 10:23  They're like full on days. Brad Crowell 10:24  Yeah, so come hang, it's gonna be mind-blowing. Go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com. But before we go any further, we did have an audience question this week. EliyaManson-p4k on YouTube says, "Fasting changed my life. It's my superpower! I've noticed that when I fast, the more I move, the better I feel. Plus, my motivation to get up and be active is higher. Does anyone else have a similar effect, or is it different in some way?" It's a very interesting comment.Lesley Logan 10:53  Yeah. So this is on a video we did a live with Noor from Jade Pilates Studio, about, about Ramadan, and so it was like, can you do Pilates during Ramadan? And it was such a really, was a really cool conversation. I've had nothing but great compliments and comments of people being so excited to learn about this. So thank you, Noor. I'm not a fasting expert, expert, and also the way they fast for Ramadan is very different than a fasting program. So Mindy Pelz, P-E-L-Z. Mindy Pelz, if any of you know her email, please help a sister out. Mindy Pelz, she wrote the book Fast Like A Girl, and it is super, super informative about how women specifically can and should fast based on their cycle. So that to Eliya, of course, you're feeling that, especially if you're fasting in the way that benefits your hormone cycle. She has tons and tons and tons and tons of research about fasting, what it can do for us. It's actually incredibly healing. So it doesn't surprise me that you're getting faster at things, you're moving better. Brad Crowell 10:55  But you've also been practicing fasting. Lesley Logan 10:59  Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna, I've kind of stopped. It's Cambodia, it's really hard. Tour was actually not the problem. Tour is easy. Cambodia is hard because you kind of go to bed early, and you wake up early, and then we eat on the schedule. So it's really hard for me to fast when the schedule of the group is different than what mine is. Brad Crowell 12:21  That's fair. Lesley Logan 12:22  But now that we're back, I'm getting back into it. And so by the time you're hearing this, yes, I'm back to fasting. So what I do is, if you look at how she sets it up, where I am in my cycle, Mindy Pelz, depending on where you are in your cycle, if you have one, you don't want to fast too long during a progesterone season, it will stress you out. So 13 hours, 14 hours is kind of the max on those days. But then there's other days of your cycle where you, like, 15 to 17 or 18 hours is really effective and like repair and helping. If you have any pre-diabetic stuff, there's this really great stuff. I don't want to take away her science. Go read her book. It's so good. You can listen to an Audible. It's really great. So I hope that helps Eliya and gives you more information to like even take what you're doing up another level.Brad Crowell 13:09  Love it. Well, stick around. We'll be right back, because we're going to dig into a really interesting conversation about our relationship with food with Sabrina Magnan as soon as we are back. Brad Crowell 13:21  All right, let's talk about Sabrina Magnon. Sabrina is an intuitive eating and food freedom coach who helps women break free from disordered eating, binge eating and food obsession. After struggling with her own body image and restrictive eating, she discovered the power of self-awareness and mindset shifts. Now she's on a mission to help others let go of food rules and build a healthy relationship with their own bodies. And she shared a lot about her story. I think my favorite part of her story is that her life-altering epiphany moment happened due to travel. And I love that. I think it's great.Lesley Logan 13:58  Yeah, that's why we love travel. I think travel teaches you so much about yourself and and really forces you to get a little bit more flexible around things. Brad Crowell 14:07  So if you listen to the episode, her story is that she went to Italy in her teens. And in her teens is when she was literally going down the path of eating disorders, because she had been a really competitive athlete and then stopped, and when she stopped, she was terrified that she was going to put on weight as a teenager, and she went to Italy. And she said, in Italy, nobody went to the gym for incessantly, no one was freaking out counting calories. Lesley Logan 14:34  Remember in 2020, when they were trying to get everyone to stay home. And the Italian, like the Italian leaders, were like, why is everyone so like now training for a marathon? What is going on? There are these running grannies? What are you doing? Because it's like not a thing.Brad Crowell 14:47  What was like the mind-blowing shift for her was seeing another culture and how they approach food, how they treated it, and how they enjoyed food, where she never enjoyed her food, she was like so intense about it all the time, and that changed her world. So I love that. I think it's amazing.Lesley Logan 15:09  Well, I think even, like in Cambodia, my dad gets so mad because they're like, constantly feeding him, and he's like, they're just bringing more food. They just brought more food. I just ate. I just ate. And he would always lose 10 pounds. The reason is, is yes, it's more outdoor lifestyle. So you're like, you move around a bit more, but when you eat there, you're not on your phone, and the portions are not huge. Of course, you can have seconds or thirds if you want to, but you are enjoying the taste. The food is very flavorful. There's also all these different things that you're going to dip in, and you use your hands. And so I think that's what makes it interesting when you're here in the States or other Western cultures, where the media has made women think that the smaller you are, be obsessed with being smaller, because then you're too busy trying to be smaller to realize we're taking your rights away, like that kind of thing, that's very much what it is, or enjoying your food. And so that leads into what I loved is that she said, we're born knowing how to eat intuitively. Brad Crowell 15:23  Right. Lesley Logan 15:23  And we lose this over time. So when you're a little kid, you're like, eating, and then you're like, done. And they're like, no, come finish your food. And actually the kid is full, they like, I'm done here, you know? And so what happens is the diet culture and the way things are going, it changes our ability to listen to our body and understand when am I hungry? The fact that people have to tell us sometimes you think you're hungry when you just need a drink of water. The fact we have to be told this because we have become so disconnected from our heads to our bodies about when we are actually hungry. And so I really enjoyed that she has taken on so much research and learning understanding about trusting our bodies so we're not restricting, we're not calorie-counting, we're not ignoring hunger. If you're hungry, your body is saying, hi, I don't have enough.Brad Crowell 16:44  Fuel.Lesley Logan 16:44  To do the thing you asked me to do. So I really just thought it was really cool and so true. Intuitive eating means blending what your body is telling you along with your emotions and your rational thought.Brad Crowell 16:54  Yeah. I mean, it was really interesting to listen to how her story shaped where she is today. She also shared that you have to be intentional about the life that you want, otherwise you end up repeating the same patterns. And this is definitely something that we've talked about on the pod before. Lesley usually talks about it when it comes to dating, have you to learn from the person you dated. You end up dating the same person over and over and over again until you learn the thing that you're supposed to learn before you can move on to the next person, right? So in line with that, she said, and instead of, hey, just letting life happen to me, I started getting intentional about, okay, what do I actually want to create with my life now that I've had this change in my perspective? She said, most of our thoughts are on repeat. I don't really understand the science, but the two of you had a really funny back and forth about like, how do we know that 80% of our thoughts are the same today as yesterday? How do we know that we have 60,000 thoughts a day? I don't know how to actually measure that.Lesley Logan 17:47  Oh, they already did that, did that, did that, did that, did that, did that. What does a person watch? I don't understand. But anyways. Brad Crowell 17:56  And unfortunately, most of these thoughts are negative, right? Self-deprecation. And it's easy to get stuck in that negativity cycle. She asked herself, hey, if I could create the life that I want, if it had a blank slate, if the rules didn't apply, and I could just, like, start over and be there, what would my life look like? What would it be for me? Right? And she said, this is when she started to journal. She started to pull things to like, write things down. And she said, hey, every day, this is the kind of stuff where you're starting to notice, I want my life to be like this. Add that to the list, right? And then it'll help you see what you actually want to be doing, where you actually want to be going. And she said, living into that vision helped her see small, tangible changes begin to take shape in her life, so that she could be eventually where she wants to be going. And, you know, I love that. I think this is like just another way of saying, you know, the small, tiny habits, small steps forward are going to help you get there. And also, I've heard this 100 times, but what would the decision be if I wanted to be, you know, a successful business owner, laundromat, if I wanted to be a successful laundromat owner and I had a decision to make, what would a successful laundromat owner's decision be? I should make that decision, right? So you're putting yourself in the place that you want to be before you then make the decision, because you're going to look at it through a different lens than you might, your gut might actually say, and so you, this is really helpful. It's a great way to kind of see life through a different perspective.Lesley Logan 19:27  I mean, I just think, first of all, she was super, super sweet. And I also remember she's like, being it until she sees it to be a puppy owner. So I really hope she and her partner, by this time, have gotten a dog. No pressure. Brad Crowell 19:37  Yeah, no pressure. Lesley Logan 19:38  But I think you're ready.Brad Crowell 19:41  No pressure, Sabrina. All right. Well, hey, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig it into some action items the Be It Action Items that she shared, you're not going to want to miss it. Be right back. Brad Crowell 19:52  Welcome back. All right. Let's dig into those Be It Action Items that we got from Sabrina Magnan. What bold, what executable, what intrinsic and what targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Sabrina? She started talking about manifesting, right? And we were just kind of talking about parts of this, like future-casting, how we make decisions as the person that we will want to be one day. This is also the be it till you see it, you know, stuff. She said, hey, you've got to be really clear on what it is that you want. You need to define your goal, right? So whether that's a career milestone, a lifestyle change, or even a pet, that's what she's going after. She said, you have to embody the mindset and actions of the person who's achieved it. She believes that a lot of people think once they hit that goal, then I will feel this thing, but that is so backwards. And I laughed when she said, it's not like your brain changes when you achieve the thing, right? Your brain is going to be the same brain now as it is when you achieve the thing, unless you're intentionally trying to change your brain now. Lesley Logan 20:53  And also, if you haven't really set yourself up, like, if you're someone who has, like, a fear of making decisions, and then you somehow get someone to believe in your laundromat business, and they're like, here are the keys to your laundromat business, but you didn't ready yourself as a person who makes decisions, good fucking luck keeping your laundromat business, because you have to have done that. So you got to change the brain to be ready for the thing you want to have when it comes. Brad Crowell 21:16  You have to be ready to make decisions now before you get those keys right? Instead of waiting for the success to change, you become the version of yourself who attracts it today. Ask yourself, what does this person who already has achieved this thing do every day, and then make space for it now. Start taking those actions and make yourself ready to receive those wins now, you know. What about you? Lesley Logan 21:39  This is really cool, because this is where, if you're like, okay, guys, we've heard that one before. I think you have to hear things multiple times before you make a decision on making a change, right? Brad Crowell 21:47  Like 17? Lesley Logan 21:47  Like, at least. So this one is really unique. We have not heard this one before, which is, take a piece of paper and do two columns. So a left side, you put the old me, and on the right side, you're gonna put the future me. And on the old me, this is where you can list up the thoughts and habits and emotions you want to leave behind. So all that negative self-talk, I'm a failure, I'm not good enough. And then on the right side, all the things that you want to have in the future, the future you like, how you think and emotions you have. And then you could have this ability to interrupt the pattern, because now you get to act like, oh, these are all the things that I want to embody. So this is what I need to be acting as if, participating, going back to her other Be It Action Items. So I really love this, because one of my clients, shout out to Meredith, I said, hey, babe, we were supposed to, she only has a session on Tuesdays, and we're driving back from Colorado, and I was supposed to text her when we're getting back so I could teach her. And we got back a little later than we expected. And so I, like, was like, hey, I, the only time I have this week is 8 a.m. tomorrow, which Meredith doesn't, is not a morning person. And she goes, great, I'll see you then. And I was like, okay, so I saw her a.m., she was on time. She was ready to go. And I said, wow, this is really early for you. She's like, well, I am a healthy person. I'm a person who makes healthy decisions, and a healthy person would work out at 8am so this is why we're here. But I really liked it. It's like she did the old her would never have said yes to that. Brad Crowell 23:14  Never. Lesley Logan 23:15  The old her is doing the 9:15 and that's early. And the new her is like, nope, nope. I'm gonna do it 8 a.m. I'm up. I'm gonna work out. I'm gonna do it. So I just think that this is a really cool thing. Two sides paper really helps you on that goal setting and getting clear on what you want and who you want to be. Sabrina, I can't wait to hear what your dog's name is. Just putting that out there. Lesley Logan 23:34  Y'all, how are you going to use these tips in your life? What was your favorite part or your takeaways?

You stand before Allah with it in every prayer - but have you truly reflected on its meaning? What's the difference between Hamd and Shukr - and why does Allah begin with one and not the other? What's the hidden link between your Iman and the way you ask for help? What are the two types of guidance mentioned - and which one only Allah can give? Why does the Surah end with a warning? Who exactly are those who earned Allah's anger - and why? What path are we really asking to be guided to? You'll see how this Surah isn't just the opener of the Qur'an - it's a blueprint for your entire Deen. You recite it daily. Now discover what you've been asking for all along.

I'm back in, man. I got a lot to tell y'all from starting off when the police made me do a DUI test to the most insane things I heard during Ramadan, which weren't the BS Yamini coffee jokes, and finally having a direction of this podcast!

The most recent Fordham MBB commit, Dejour Reaves, joins this week's episode of @Notevend2 .

Reaves committed to Fordham University where he'll be playing under Coach Magpayo.Reaves dominated in high school at Corcoran, becoming the school's all-time leading scorer. Besides his success, he wasn't recruited by any Division 1 schools, which led him to attend JUCO at Trinidad State. Reaves led Trinidad State to back-to-back region titles. After JUCO, he committed to Northern Colorado where he was an all-conference player. Now preparing for a year playing in the A10, Reaves has big time goals for himself. Hear about his thoughts regarding Iona firing Tobin Anderson, what schools he was looking at before choosing Fordham, and what the future of his career looks like.

It's late, the mics are on, and the filter is off. In this no-holds-barred After Hours episode, Lou, Spank, and Holly spiral into a hilarious, brutally honest convo about luxury, loyalty, and the lines we cross—on purpose.They kick it off exposing the myth behind high-end fashion: fake bags, inflated prices, and why authenticity is really just a marketing scheme. Holly breaks down the difference between designer and distraction, sharing how luxury used to be used to buy her silence—and why that doesn't work anymore. And yes, the story about the ex who pulled up, stole the Rolex, and took her shoes? Real. And somehow still funny.But that's just the start.The crew dives deep into the politics of Black-owned businesses, why “support me 'cause I'm Black” gets tricky, and how some of us treat Gucci better than we treat our friends. Then the conversation takes a hard (and hilarious) turn: foot fetishes, nipple licking, steak preferences, religion during Ramadan, and naked locker room behavior are all on the table—literally.By the end, you'll know way too much… and still want more.This is Underground Lounge: After Hours at its finest, messy, meaningful, and mad entertaining. Come for the laughs, stay for the chaos.

We keep asking what's gone wrong with Muslims today—but we're ignoring the one thing that's always brought nations to their knees. From the people of Nuh, to Aad and Thamud, to the people of Lut—every collapse began with the same root cause. In this episode of The Disease and the Cure by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how sins—when ignored, normalised, or made public—have always led to destruction, and how that same legacy is unfolding again today. Are we walking the same path? Are we prepared for what follows?

You may be a practicing Muslim... but are you special in the sight of Allah? Allah describes and praises a group of believers in the Qur'an—people distinguished by 12 rare and powerful traits. Most Muslims scroll past—unaware, unprepared, and unsure if they even come close. In this 10-hour long knowledge-packed journey, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan breaks down these traits one by one—opening the door to deep self-reflection and real change. Do you already live by them? Could you develop them? If yes, then how? And if not… what does that mean for your standing with Allah? Watch this. Reflect deeply. This might change how you see yourself.

Millions gather each year on Egypt's streets for football tournaments during Ramadan. Also: money-saving beavers, one of the UK's largest Iron Age discoveries and darts helping children in South Africa learn maths.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has emerged as the deadliest war for journalists in modern history. Two Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli attacks just this week, underscoring the extreme risks faced by reporters in the region. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 165 journalists have been killed since October 2023 — a staggering number that surpasses the total journalist fatalities during the entire span of World War II.The conflict has escalated to a critical point, with Israel resuming strikes on Gaza after breaking a ceasefire with Hamas. Amid this humanitarian catastrophe, journalists persist in their crucial role, risking their lives to document the unfolding events and bring critical information to the world.In response to attacks on Palestinian journalists, Forbidden Stories launched the Gaza Project — a collaboration bringing together over 40 journalists from 12 organizations, including the Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism and The Intercept. Their mission: investigate and expose the unprecedented threats facing journalists in Gaza and the West Bank. On this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, Hoda Osman, the executive editor of Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism, says the killings have become hauntingly familiar: “A repeated scene seeing a journalist is being killed, and you get the news, and then you see their bodies with a bloodied press vest. And then you see the mourning of their colleagues and their families.”In addition to this extreme risk, Osman says the daily realities confronting Palestinian reporters are difficult to imagine. “I was speaking to a journalist there and she's telling me how hard it is because it's Ramadan and they fast, and at the end of the day at sunset, they're supposed to break fast, but there is no food. And how they're all starting to become extremely weak because of the lack of food. And that was before even the strikes began again,” she says.“Most of them are living in tents,” Osman adds. “A few weeks ago when the weather was really cold, one of the journalists was texting me how they don't know what to do to be warm. They're constantly cold. And then she sent me videos of — it had rained — the whole tent just completely flooding.”But despite all these personal challenges, they keep going.
