Sound Healing with David Gibson Musical Intervals and The Music of Relationship: David Gibson on Intervals, Harmony, and Dissonance David Gibson Opens Sound Healing In this episode of Sound Healing, host David Gibson opens with updates from the Sound Healing Center, Globe Institute, and upcoming programs, including open houses, summer intensives, online certificate training, recording classes, the Mount Shasta Sound Healing Retreat, and voice-analysis software training. He then introduces the central topic of the episode: musical intervals, or the relationship between two notes, as a model for understanding the relationship between every kind of thing in the universe. Musical Intervals as States of Consciousness David explains that musical intervals are not only musical structures, but also feelings or states of consciousness. He walks through several intervals, including unison, octaves, perfect fifths, perfect fourths, major thirds, major seconds, minor seconds, sixths, and sevenths. He describes unison and octaves as deeply harmonious, the perfect fifth as calming, sweet, healing, and movement-oriented, the perfect fourth as spacious and suspended, and more dissonant intervals as activating rather than inherently bad. His point is that each interval carries a specific emotional or energetic quality. Ratios, Frequencies, and Sacred Geometry David then connects musical intervals to mathematics. An octave is a two-to-one ratio, a perfect fifth is three-to-two, a perfect fourth is four-to-three, a major third is five-to-four, and a minor third is six-to-five. He explains that these ratios can also appear in sacred geometry, such as the relationship between the lengths of sides in a triangle. For David, this means intervals are not just sounds; they are measurable relationships that can appear in space, form, vibration, and proportion. Timbre, Harmonics, and Sound Healing Instruments David distinguishes between musical intervals created by two separate notes and the hidden intervals inside a single sound. When a person sings one note, or when an instrument such as a gong, harp, Tibetan bowl, or piano produces a sound, that single sound contains many frequencies and harmonic relationships. He explains that activating instruments such as gongs, bagpipes, saxophones, and clarinets may contain more dissonant internal relationships, while instruments such as harp, acoustic guitar, and wood drum can contain warmer, sweeter relationships. This helps explain why different instruments affect the body and emotions differently. Intervals in Nature, Color, Geometry, and the Planets The episode expands from music into nature and cosmology. David says atoms, molecules, elements, colors, geometries, planets, moons, and orbital relationships can all be understood through interval-like relationships. He gives examples such as hydrogen and oxygen forming water, colors that harmonize or clash, and planetary relationships connected to the ancient idea of the music of the spheres. He also discusses Jupiter's moons and the Earth-Sun relationship as examples of cosmic ratios and vibrational relationships. The Body as a Harmonic Structure David applies the same idea to the human body, saying every cell, organ, and medical system has frequencies and relationships. He suggests that health may be understood as harmonious interval relationships among the parts of the body, while illness may involve disrupted or dissonant relationships. He speculates that if researchers could identify the musical-interval “template of perfection” among cells, organs, and body systems, sound could potentially be used to support healing across many conditions. Emotions, Thoughts, Souls, and Relationships David also applies musical intervals to inner life. He describes emotional conflicts, such as loving and hating someone at the same time, as dissonant relationships. Positive emotions such as gratitude, compassion, love, and joy are described as more coherent frequencies that can move together in harmonious ways. He extends this to thoughts, soul relationships, twin flames, soul groups, and romantic or personal chemistry, suggesting that people may experience each other as harmonious or dissonant based on deeper frequency relationships. Musical Intervals Across Every Subject Near the end, David explains that the Sound Education Association is building curriculum for children that brings frequency, musical flow, and interval relationships into subjects such as math, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, communication, social science, history, economics, environmental science, art, engineering, computer science, physical education, ethics, philosophy, and medicine. His larger vision is that every subject can be understood as a study of relationships, and every relationship can be experienced as a kind of musical interval. Moving Toward Harmony While Honoring Dissonance David closes by playing part of his song “Awakening,” which he says is built largely around the musical fifth. He encourages listeners to notice harmony and dissonance in their lives, but not to judge dissonance as bad. Just as water hitting rocks or waves crashing into shore can create beautiful turbulence, dissonance can activate movement and help break up stuck energy. The final message is to move toward harmony whenever possible while recognizing that all relationships, even challenging ones, can serve a purpose in the larger music of life.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This series is dedicated to exploring little-known—and occasionally useful—trinkets lurking in the dusty corners of UNIX-like operating systems. In UNIX Curio #4 ( HPR episode 4617 ), I teased the subject of file compression. Today I'm circling back to that. The history of data compression goes back at least to the 1970s, and in contexts outside UNIX and computers, probably even earlier. Somehow, it is refreshing to learn that humans have always struggled to have enough storage space to keep all the data they want to hang on to. One way around this limitation is to use some form of compression. I am only going to dive into lossless compression for this episode—that is, a compression method that can be reversed and will spit out the original data bit for bit. Lossy compression methods also have their places: you might be familiar with their use for audio (such as Ogg Vorbis or MP3); it's also used for images (such as JPEG). Lossy compression allows some of the original data to be thrown away, resulting in a smaller file than is possible with lossless compression, but the intent is for the result to still sound or look "good enough" to a human observer. Also, I am going to limit my discussion to generic methods used for many types of data; while FLAC does lossless compression, it is specifically designed just for audio. I should make clear that I have never studied computer science or information theory, so this episode will not get into the science behind various types of compression algorithms and how they differ. But in general, these methods take advantage of the fact that many types of data have recurring patterns. English text mostly consists of words that often re-appear many times—source code similarly has keywords and variable names that recur. Compression is accomplished by representing a piece of data that occurs multiple times with a symbol that is shorter in length. The first compression program in the UNIX world I could find is called pack , from 1978 1 . It was shortly followed in 1979 by a similar program called compact 2 . Both of these used a technique called Huffman coding, but with some differences between them. Files compressed with pack were given a .z extension and compact gave filenames a .C extension. Roughly every five or ten years after this, a new program would come along and achieve lasting popularity. There were, and still are, two opposing forces facing any new form of compression. Working in favor was the advantages it provided—first among these was achieving a better compression ratio, but performance improvements such as speed or reduced memory usage could also be compelling. The force against any new method was the fact that it was not yet widely supported—it doesn't much help to have a smaller file if the people you share it with cannot decompress it. The next major advance in compression arose out of three scientific papers: two in 1977 and 1978 by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv (called LZ77 and LZ78), and one by Terry Welch in 1984 which built on LZ78. This last method is typically referred to as LZW. Our UNIX Curio for today is a program called compress 3 that implements the LZW method. Files compressed this way are named with the extension .Z . I had always assumed that this was to honor Jacob Ziv, but now that I've researched the history, it seems more likely to be a follow-on from how files compressed by pack were named. Since pack did not use any of the Lempel-Ziv methods, I would guess that it used .z because that wasn't already taken by anything else, but that's pure speculation. I do recall encountering .Z files in the wild, but feel certain that hasn't happened in the last 25 years, maybe longer. If you need to expand one of these, uncompress 4 is the program to use ( GNU's gunzip can also handle them 5 ). However, there was a serious problem that arose with the LZ78 and LZW compression methods. Both of them were patented, and the owner became aggressive in seeking payment from developers and users. The compress utility was developed within two months of the publication of Welch's 1984 paper and was included in Bell Laboratories' Eighth Edition UNIX before these shakedowns started. The paper did not disclose that a patent had been filed, and apparently Spencer Thomas and the other developers of compress were unaware of it. The utility became popular for a while, and was even standardized by POSIX, but people moved away from LZW once the legal threats started. Another important advance came in 1991 and was called the DEFLATE compression method. It combined the un-patented LZ77 method with Huffman coding to achieve a similar level of compression as LZW (actually, often better) without the legal trouble. DEFLATE was developed for PKZIP and was soon adopted by the GNU project's gzip compressor. While Phil Katz (the "PK" in PKZIP ) patented one way of implementing the DEFLATE method, it was possible to write a compressor and decompressor without infringing 6 ; also, he apparently never tried to enforce the patent 7 . As I mentioned in UNIX Curio #4, .zip is both an archive and a compression format. Each archive member can be compressed with one of several possible methods (or stored without compression). Unlike a tar file where compression can be applied to the entire archive, in .zip each archive member is compressed individually. This often means a .zip file will be slightly bigger than a tar file with the same contents compressed with gzip , because the .zip format cannot take advantage of duplication that occurs among more than one member of the archive. The vast majority of .zip files use only the DEFLATE and uncompressed storage methods and these are the only options if you want to follow the profile standardized in ISO/IEC 21320-1. Actually, since they both use DEFLATE, gzip is able to extract a .zip file in the special case where it only holds one member compressed with that method. From the 1990s onward, people paid significant attention to avoiding patent landmines, so only methods that didn't have that problem became broadly popular. While the patents on LZ78 and LZW have since expired, I feel like their most successful legacy was in discouraging people from using those methods, leading to DEFLATE taking the popularity crown. The next step came in 1996 and 1997 with the development of bzip and bzip2 by Julian Seward. The original method was quickly followed by bzip2 , which was the version that achieved true popularity. They use the Burrows-Wheeler transform, which does not itself compress data but re-arranges it to make it more compressible; this is combined with other techniques 8 . (At least, that's my understanding. I told you, I'm not up on information theory.) This provides a significant reduction in the compressed size of the data compared to earlier methods—however, it is slower than DEFLATE both during compression and decompression. Separate projects have developed parallel versions of gzip and bzip2 that can take advantage of multi-processor machines, but the original utilities run single-threaded. Another five years later, in 2001, Igor Pavlov added the Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm (LZMA), an enhancement to LZ77, to his 7-Zip compression tool. This was followed a few years later by LZMA2, a container format that allowed for LZMA compression to be split between multiple threads. Broad LZMA2 support came to the UNIX world in 2009 with the xz utility 9 . It offers roughly similar compression ratios to bzip2 , though it can be better or worse depending on the data to be compressed. While compression generally takes even longer than bzip2 , decompression is significantly faster (though still not as fast as gzip ). The Linux kernel relatively quickly supported booting from xz-compressed images 10 because it was a good match for that use case—compression, the time-consuming activity, only has to be done once while the more frequent decompression during boot happens relatively fast. The last method I will cover is Zstandard 11 , often written as zstd . This came about in 2015, and is another variation on LZ77 that uses finite-state entropy (which means nothing to me, but you might understand it). It performs about as well as DEFLATE in terms of compression ratios, but is much faster both when compressing and decompressing data. I should say that these statements are true with the typical default settings—depending on the compression level selected, it can compress more slowly, but compress the data smaller. However, decompression is always speedier than DEFLATE. This makes it attractive for some uses, and it is heavily promoted by Meta/Facebook, where Yann Collet developed it. For example, shipping large amounts of actively-used data between machines in a data center can go more quickly when the size is reduced; however, if the compression and decompression steps take too long that benefit is lost. A speedy method can be valuable even if it doesn't result in the greatest reduction in size. This use case stands in contrast to, say, a compressed backup file which might only be accessed in a disaster recovery scenario or never accessed at all, making size more important than speed. Both the xz and zstd utilities have some built-in support for multi-threading, but the default is to run in a single thread. While xz can use multiple threads for decompression (but only if the file was compressed in multi-thread mode), the reference zstd utility can only use more than one thread for compression, not decompression. There are many other methods of lossless compression that have been developed over the decades, but I believe these are the ones you are most likely to encounter in the world of UNIX-like systems. This is a personal opinion, and others might choose a different set. As mentioned, it can be tough for a new method to gain popularity and 35-year-old DEFLATE is still probably the most commonly used despite not being the fastest or offering the greatest reduction in size. Even systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD that do not like to include GNU tools supported it by developing their own version of gzip based on the permissively-licensed zlib library. Technically, the LZW method used by the compress utility is still standardized by POSIX, so one might expect it to have the widest support. However, aggressive patent enforcement discouraged adoption, especially by Free and Open Source Software systems—even though the patent has expired, it is still out of favor compared to DEFLATE. For this reason, I feel justified in calling it a curio.

While not totally rigorous, I did run each compression and decompression multiple times to ensure I was getting consistent results. The laptop I used has an Intel Core i5-6200U CPU running at 2.30GHz, and the system had at least 5 GB of free memory for each run. While this processor has two cores and can run four simultaneous threads, all utilities were run single-threaded. The term "best" means the highest level of compression available (the exact level used is shown). For bzip2 , the default is the best. For zstd , "best" is -19, which is the highest "normal" level, but "ultra" levels that are even higher also exist. Ratios are the percentage of the original size that the file was reduced to (other sources might instead express the compression ratio as the reduction in size achieved). In all results, smaller numbers are better. ┌────────────────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┐ │ │ gzip │ gzip │ bzip2 │ xz │ xz │ zstd │ zstd │ │ │(default -6) │ (best -9) │ (-9) │(default -6) │ (best -9) │(default -3) │ (best -19) │ ├──────────────┬─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Size (ratio) │ 22,036,508 │ 21,891,623 │ 15,795,698 │ 13,487,768 │ 12,938,464 │ 20,454,657 │ 13,709,078 │ │ │ │ (24%) │ (24%) │ (17%) │ (15%) │ (14%) │ (23%) │ (15%) │ │English Text ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │(90,532,092 │Compression │ 4.8s │ 7.6s │ 8.5s │ 49.8s │ 58.8s │ 0.6s │ 65.2s │ │bytes │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │uncompressed) ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Decompression│ 0.7s │ 0.8s │ 3.7s │ 1.2s │ 1.2s │ 0.4s │ 0.4s │ │ │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├──────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Size (ratio) │ 125,291,122 │ 124,189,544 │ 98,016,512 │ 84,882,492 │ 81,954,344 │ 120,604,855 │ 87,298,645 │ │ │ │ (21%) │ (21%) │ (17%) │ (14%) │ (14%) │ (20%) │ (15%) │ │Source Code ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │(590,008,320 │Compression │ 22.0s │ 39.3s │ 54.8s │ 241s │ 298s │ 3.7s │ 348s │ │bytes │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │uncompressed) ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Decompression│ 5.1s │ 5.1s │ 20.3s │ 8.1s │ 7.8s │ 2.4s │ 2.4s │ │ │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├──────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Size (ratio) │ 32,830,905 │ 32,371,241 │ 26,856,579 │ 20,717,288 │ 20,352,880 │ 28,538,810 │ 23,154,582 │ │ │ │ (19%) │ (19%) │ (16%) │ (12%) │ (12%) │ (17%) │ (13%) │ │Binary Program├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │(171,972,264 │Compression │ 6.4s │ 22.4s │ 18.6s │ 62.2s │ 67.8s │ 0.8s │ 111s │ │bytes │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │uncompressed) ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Decompression│ 1.5s │ 1.5s │ 5.6s │ 2.3s │ 2.3s │ 0.7s │ 0.7s │ │ │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├──────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Size (ratio) │ 146,397,772 │ 146,397,757 │ 144,485,451 │ 131,950,232 │ 130,926,780 │ 147,154,979 │ 145,703,840 │ │ │ │ (89%) │ (89%) │ (88%) │ (80%) │ (80%) │ (90%) │ (89%) │ │WAVE Audio ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │(164,396,302 │Compression │ 9.2s │ 9.2s │ 25.1s │ 70.4s │ 97.7s │ 0.7s │ 58.3s │ │bytes │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │uncompressed) ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │Decompression│ 2.0s │ 2.0s │ 13.5s │ 12.2s │ 12.1s │ 0.6s │ 0.8s │ │ │time │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├──────────────┴─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ │ gzip │ gzip │ bzip2 │ xz │ xz │ zstd │ zstd │ │ │(default -6) │ (best -9) │ (-9) │(default -6) │ (best -9) │(default -3) │ (best -19) │ └────────────────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┘ English text consists of Titles 1 through 10 of the 2020 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations .

How many FIs have a relatively high efficiency ratio? In other words, how much do they have to spend to make $1? Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer, said he was shocked to find out that "over 12 % of all institutions in the United States are over 90%." This means that these FIs had to spend more than 90 cents to make $1.Fieber and Scott Smith, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group, joined Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, to discuss this issue and how banks can reduce their ratios in this episode of the Bank Customer Experience Podcast.Fieber and Smith emphasized the importance of starting small with this issue, as even reducing ratios by 2% could make a big difference to one's bottom line. That money saved can then be used for strategic initiatives."Instead of spending that money on inefficient practices and doubling down on bad purchases and bad protocols, now we've got some money. Let's free it up to do the fun stuff," Fieber said.One way to improve this ratio, according to Smith and Fieber, is to take a look at one's vendor relationships and ask basic questions such as:Are we experiencing vendor creep?Are multiple departments using different vendors, where we could use one?Is there a vendor we could partner with to handle multiple aspects of our business?When asked how FIs can begin addressing efficiency ratios, Fieber pointed to hosting a strategic workshop where banks can gain some "nuggets" that could start some ideas."Why is a strategic workshop so important? It's important for the FI individually, but it's also important for the FI to involve their partners so that they understand the strategic layout of what their partners are doing too. Hey, what's on your roadmap? Does it align with ours? I think those are all conversations that sometimes get overlooked that are very, very valuable," Smith said.Cook Solutions Group created a guide called A Strategic Guide for Banking Executives: 10 Questions for Banking Executives, which FIs can use during these workshops to jumpstart conversation.Fieber said the guide can "at least get you started if you're kind of stuck on a home plate, not sure where to go."Listen to the entire conversation above.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I talk with my good buddy Chad Landers, veteran trainer, strength coach, and author of Building Strength and Muscle After 50, about how to keep gaining strength and muscle as you get older without falling off the “injury cliff.” We dig into why consistency matters most, how progress often drops in steps after injuries, and why smart modifications beat worshipping any single lift.  Chad shares lessons from coaching clients for decades, including balancing pressing with back work, using better technique (like pause benching), and building conditioning with tools like the fan bike, rower, and step mill.

Many of us will have spent money on a running analysis, bike fit or swim stroke correction - in the hope that it'll solve our injury problems or improve our performance significantly. The tech is impressive, the data thorough and the cost reflects it.  However many of us come away none the wiser.  We get told what we need to do - but these new positions or technique changes can be hard to implement when fatigued or over longer durations of time and we end up going back to our old ways  Listen in as we discuss how to get the most from the analysis you've recieved (00:00) Podcast Intro (00:40) Why Mechanics Matter (00:53) The Analysis Industry (01:52) Strength Missing Link (03:41) Why Cues Fail Late (05:13) Real World Weaknesses (06:37) Simple Drills Anywhere (07:04) Using Gait As Baseline (07:57) Avoid Smoke And Mirrors (09:10) What To Demand From Coaches (09:39) Run Economy Under Fatigue (09:59) Form Cues and Gait Cycle (10:23) Warmup Drills for Resilience (10:56) Strength Builds Confidence (11:31) Injury History and Weak Links (12:16) Maintenance Prevents Breakdowns (13:13) You Are an Athlete (14:39) Individualized Strength and Ratios (15:54) Pros Do the Basics (16:38) Sustainable Training Model (17:03) Wrap Up and Listener Questions Learn more about Strength For Endurance: Download our FREE Return to Run guide: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/return-to-run-guide Find Out About Online or Face to Face Coaching Programs: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/ Receive weekly coaching tips and masterclasses straight to your inbox:  https://www.strengthforendurance.com/sfe-inner-circle Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Youtube @strengthforendurance

El sector de escuelas infantiles (0-3 años) convoca huelga estatal este jueves, con seguimiento en centros públicos y privados concertados de Ferrolterra. La movilización culminará con una concentración a las 18:00 horas en la Plaza de la Constitución. La Plataforma de Escuelas Infantiles de Galicia, con Lucía Castro, reclama el reconocimiento educativo en la Consellería de Educación, mejoras salariales y la reducción de ratios de hasta 20 niños por educadora, además de la implantación de la figura de pareja educativa. Denuncian sobrecarga laboral y un calendario limitado a festivos y agosto, pese a tratarse de un ciclo con atención continuada y altas exigencias de cuidado y desarrollo emocional en la primera infancia. El origen de la huelga se sitúa en 2022 en Navarra y se ha extendido a nivel estatal tras la coordinación de distintos colectivos. Habrá servicios mínimos fijados por la Xunta, que el sector considera elevados y que limitarán el alcance del paro.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages.      Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks!      Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you!      Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x     Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife's supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain.

Rob Howe has lived with type 1 diabetes for 21 years. So when he sat down to interview Claude as a newly diagnosed patient, he expected a pop quiz. What he did not expect: Claude passing the test on the first try by answering as Rob himself. Because Claude thought it been hosting this show all along. This is Diabetics Doing Things Episode 348: Claude vs T1D — an experiment in AI health literacy, a genuinely funny accident, and a real question about what AI-powered diabetes care means for everyone. Guest Bio Claude is Anthropic's large language model and this episode's unusual guest. Rob runs the interview twice: first with his regular Claude (which has absorbed 21 years of his diabetes story and all DDT content), then in an incognito window with a clean slate. The contrast is the episode. Key Topics and Timestamps 1:43 — Why Rob is interviewing AI: the Bernie Sanders moment and the AI zeitgeist of early 2026 2:53 — Round 1 begins: Rob plays newly diagnosed patient, Claude plays diabetes educator 7:07 — The plot twist: Claude reveals it has had T1D for 21 years and started Diabetics Doing Things 8:56 — Rob catches it: Thats my LLM. Resets to incognito mode. 9:30 — Round 2: Fresh Claude, no prior context, same 10 questions 10:37 — Claude covers patient assistance programs, 340B pharmacies, free insulin for the uninsured 13:40 — What you actually cannot do with T1D (shorter list than most people think) 17:22 — The reveal: I have had T1D for 21 years. I think you passed. 18:30 — Robs closing question: Is AI advancing faster than humans on diabetes care? Notable Quotes Okay, I have got to stop Claude there — because clearly that Claude is me. — Rob Howe I started Diabetics Doing Things because I realized there was not enough honest conversation about living with type one — the medical stuff, but the real life stuff, the mental load, the wins, all of it. — Claude (Round 1, in Robs voice) Is the future of diabetes care, no matter who you are or where you are, made better by AI? Really something to think about. — Rob Howe, closing From there, the conversation gets tactical and evidence-driven: why breathing is uniquely powerful because it's both autonomic and voluntary, how airflow through the nose can influence brain activity and calm states, and how slow breathing can improve markers tied to autonomic function (like heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity) that are often reduced in people with diabetes. Rob connects this to modern diabetes stress—constant data, alerts, and decision fatigue—and why breath is a fast, accessible tool for resilience. Nick addresses the “woo vs. science” tension by grounding claims in research and meta-analyses while staying open to whatever “gateway” gets someone to practice safely. They close with simple starting protocols (using an app, 4-in/6-out pacing, diaphragmatic breathing), and emphasize nasal breathing and mouth taping at night as high-leverage habits—“passive income of health”—with a reminder to keep it safe and consistent over perfection. Chapters: 00:15 Insulin Sensitivity Playbook + Meet “The Breathing Diabetic” 01:27 Diagnosis Story: Age 11, DKA, and the “Diet Coke” Moment 02:48 The “Second Diagnosis”: Mid-20s Wake-Up and Lifestyle Control 03:58 From Air Quality Scientist to Breath Nerd: Discovering Wim Hof 04:51 The Oxygen Advantage: Nasal Breathing, CO₂, and a Breakthrough 08:52 Breath Goes Mainstream: James Nestor Validation + Confidence to Share 11:50 Why Breath Is a Superpower: Autonomic + Voluntary = A Lever 15:11 The Brain Angle: Nasal Airflow, Brainwaves, and Calm States 18:06 Diabetes Physiology: HRV, Baroreflex, and Slow Breathing Benefits 35:52 Practical Protocols: 5-Min Minimum Dose, Apps, Ratios, Mouth Tape Resources: The Breathing Diabetic Instagram The Breathing Diabetic Website

Many challenges with your blood sugars can be grouped into one of the two categories: habit or infrastructure. Until you know which one you're dealing with, you're likely doing patchwork (making changes that don't move the needle) and getting frustrated by nothing really changing.In this solo episode, Lauren breaks down the foundational framework she uses with every coaching client to identify exactly where the leaks are coming from. She walks through what falls under each category, why most people are unknowingly mixing the two up, and why that's one of the most common reasons people struggle to improve their blood sugars. She also covers the three most important things to understand about how habits and infrastructure interact, why 98% of people who come into coaching are convinced their settings are fine until they actually test them, and the specific order Lauren recommends starting with, so you can build momentum and start making changes that actually move your numbers.WHAT WE COVER:The ship leaks analogy…. why patching what you can see on the surface never works if you haven't found where the water is actually drainingWhat falls under the habit category What falls under the infrastructure category Why the most common mistake is treating a habit issue with an infrastructure change (and vice versa) and the real-life examples that show why this keeps people stuckWhy 98% of people who come into coaching are convinced their settings are fine and what they find when they actually test themHow to tell whether what you're experiencing is situational or a broader sign that your foundation needs to be strengthened WHAT'S NEXT:

Adam, Joanna, and Zach respond to a listener question about the received wisdom that restaurants should generate a large chunk of their revenue from their drinks programs. In the past, beverage alcohol sales have been the main source of profit for restaurants, but as prices continue to increase and consumers are perhaps less inclined to indulge, is this still a model that makes sense?

In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick provides a comprehensive debrief following the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) Vegas conference. Karisse shares her highlights and lowlights from one of the industry's biggest events, cutting through the conference hype to provide practical insights for fraud and payments professionals.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of Agentic AI in commerce, detailing how tools like Sardine are now identifying AI agents by monitoring "invisible" behaviors, such as fields being filled without mouse movement. Karisse provides an inside look at why OpenAI recently shelved its "instant checkout" feature, moving away from being a merchant of record to avoid the liability of chargebacks and complex transaction enablement.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The VAMP Threshold "Cliff": How Visa is drastically reducing high-risk merchant ratios from 220 basis points to 150 basis points this April, potentially catching many enterprise merchants off guard.The Complexity of Agentic Chargebacks: Real-world examples of "authorized" AI purchases where merchants are losing disputes because card brands like Visa do not yet have established "compelling evidence" protocols for AI agents.The Human Element vs. AI: Why senior fraud leadership cannot be replaced by LLMs, as the critical "domain expertise" required to manage sophisticated fraud is not found in open-source data.

Rob welcomes Dr. Nick Heath—an atmospheric scientist living with type 1 diabetes for 27+ years and known online as “The Breathing Diabetic”—to explore how breathing can become a practical lever for living well with diabetes. Nick shares his diagnosis at age 11 and how his “second diagnosis” moment came in his mid-20s when nutrition changes improved his control and opened his mindset to other tools within his control. That curiosity eventually led him into breathwork, first through Wim Hof and then more deeply through Patrick McKeown's The Oxygen Advantage, where the science around nasal breathing, slower breathing, and CO₂ tolerance clicked—followed by a noticeable improvement in his blood sugars after a few months of consistent practice. From there, the conversation gets tactical and evidence-driven: why breathing is uniquely powerful because it's both autonomic and voluntary, how airflow through the nose can influence brain activity and calm states, and how slow breathing can improve markers tied to autonomic function (like heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity) that are often reduced in people with diabetes.

In this week's podcast episode in the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, I bring up the study that sparked that concern. I don't ignore things like this. I don't pretend they don't exist. If there's research being talked about, I want you to know about it. But here are the actual facts. The study was done in mice. The mice were made to consume about 40% of their diet in olive oil. And the rest of their diet was an obesogenic, high-carbohydrate diet designed to promote weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. That is not a Mediterranean diet. That is not olive oil drizzled over vegetables and salmon. That is not real life. It was a laboratory model designed to stress metabolism. Context matters.

This Uplevel Dairy Podcast episode features Dairy Calf and Heifer Association (DCHA) board members Jim Van Patter and Rodolfo Nava, as they discuss key practices for raising high-performing dairy replacement heifers and beef-on-dairy calves. Both emphasize that success starts with excellent colostrum management in the first 24 hours, followed by a high plane of nutrition, sanitation, ventilation, and calf comfort. Jim and Rodolfo compare calf-raising strategies that focus on nutrition, consistency, and labor efficiency. Both emphasize the value of strong colostrum and transition programs, with three-times-a-day feeding improving daily gain, reducing scours, and supporting better lung health—even with a modest added cost per calf. They discuss how automation, data tracking, and cleaner, well-ventilated hutch systems have lowered mortality and labor demands, while environmental regulations and day-to-day crew consistency remain ongoing challenges. The conversation also highlights team retention, clear communication with suppliers, and building pride in calf care. Looking ahead to 2026, Jim plans to continue refining nutrition and monitoring, while Rodolfo aims to shorten the time in hutches without sacrificing performance.Make sure to save the date for the annual DCHA Conference, April 7–9 in Tucson, Arizona.The episode is brought to you in partnership with the DCHA and is sponsored by First Defense.00:00 Raising Elite Calves: What This Episode Covers + DCHA Conference Preview01:39 Meet Jim Van Patter: Wisconsin Calf Program & Global Consulting Experience03:43 Meet Rodolfo Nava: Beef-on-Dairy Calf Ranch in New Mexico + Why DCHA Matters05:21 The Universal Non-Negotiables: Colostrum, Nutrition, Comfort & Ventilation07:48 Sanitation, Automation & Scaling Calf Care Without Losing Quality09:54 Transition Milk Deep Dive: Products, Ratios, and What Changes in the Calves12:54 Jim's On-Farm Results: Implementing Transition Milk + Gains, Scours, Lung Scores16:48 What's Changed Over Decades: Consistency, Hutch Housing, and Survival Rates20:01 Today's Biggest Challenges: Regulations, Labor, Weather, and Data Feedback Loops23:56 Building a Winning Calf Team: Motivation, Retention, Pride, and First Impressions27:55 2026 Goals + Where to Focus First: Colostrum, 3x Feeding, Data, and Team Development32:32 Why DCHA Helps Producers Win: Speakers, Gold Standards, Learning Library & Networking37:21 Final Takeaways + Invitation to Tucson (Tours, Spanish Sessions) + Wrap-Up

Tune in for our conversation with Dr. Stephen Cabral where he breaks down why even health-conscious biohackers can struggle with chronic symptoms, pointing to hidden imbalances that standard approaches often miss. He emphasizes starting with gut and immune health and explains why comprehensive lab testing, especially Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), offers insights that blood work alone can't capture. The conversation explores how stress, electrolyte imbalances, and heavy metal exposure quietly drain resilience, making proper detoxification and mineral balance essential. Dr. Cabral also shares practical guidance on magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and adrenal support, tailoring advice for high performers under constant pressure. We also dive into our personal HTMA results so you can get a front row seat on what a typical HTMA consultation looks like. Throughout the episode, he underscores that optimal health isn't just about supplements and protocols, but also mindset—building “stress calluses” and taking a truly holistic, systems-based approach.Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of EquiLife, the global integrative health organization providing at-home lab testing, personalized wellness protocols, and concierge health coaching to over 300,000 clients over the past 25 years.He also founded the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute (IHPI), which has certified over 5,000 practitioners globally, and hosts The Cabral Concept podcast with 3,500+ episodes and 100 million+ downloads.After overcoming a life-threatening illness at 17, Dr. Cabral went on to get his doctoral degree and completed over 2,200 internship hours all over the world including India, Sri Lanka, China, Europe, and the U.S.SHOW NOTES:0:42 Welcome to the podcast!3:13 About Dr. Stephen Cabral4:12 Welcome him to the show!4:48 Why do healthy people get sick?7:48 Addressing gut & immune system first10:36 Starting with HTMA Testing12:21 Electrolytes in hair vs blood work15:12 Validity of HTMA16:05 Overview of our results interpretation18:09 Lauren's HTMA results22:38 Supporting the HPA axis with electrolytes24:33 Magnesium recommendations25:29 Iron, Copper & Zinc31:51 Advice for high performers & high achievers33:44 *CALOCURB*34:56 Lauren's heavy metals41:17 Renee's HTMA results44:32 Creating stress “calluses”50:21 Renee's heavy metals52:50 Finding a Biological Dentist54:47 Where else metals are stored56:42 Adrenal support ingredients57:25 Zinc & Copper balancing1:03:45 Minerals & Metals Test1:05:32 His final piece of advice1:06:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Calocurb - discount code: RENEE10Website: www.drstephencabral.comIG: @stephencabralYouTube50% off the Minerals & Metals TestBook: PersonomicsCoaching: sign up for the Personomics waitlist at:Personomics.ioThe Julian Center for Comprehensive DentistryTo find a Biological Dentist: iaomt.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this conversation, Vassilis Douros and Marc Binkley delve into the complexities of measuring ROI in marketing. They discuss common misconceptions about ROI, ROAS, and MER, emphasizing that these metrics often lead marketers to focus on short-term efficiency rather than long-term effectiveness. The duo highlights the importance of collaboration across teams to ensure that marketing promises align with operational capabilities, ultimately driving sustainable growth. They advocate for a shift in focus from mere ratios to understanding the broader implications of marketing investments on future cash flow and customer relationships.If you're being measured purely on short-term efficiency metrics, this conversation will change how you think about growth.ROI isn't a marketing number. It's a team sport.TakeawaysROI is often misunderstood as a measure of efficiency rather than effectiveness.Chasing high ROI can lead to short-term thinking and limit growth.Marketing success requires collaboration across teams, not just within marketing.The promise to the customer must be memorable, valuable, and deliverable.Focusing solely on financial ratios can obscure the true health of a brand.Long-term ROI is built on consistent delivery of promises to customers.Marketing should be viewed as a growth driver, not a cost center.Incrementality is crucial to understanding the true impact of marketing efforts.Operational efficiency is key to fulfilling marketing promises.Winning in marketing is a team sport, requiring alignment across departments.Chapters00:00 - Understanding ROI in Marketing03:00 - The Dangers of Chasing High ROI05:57 - The Importance of Team Collaboration09:55 - The Promise to the Customer11:58 - Shifting Focus from Ratios to RevenueSources:Ambler, T.

Advanced skincare routines are more popular than ever, yet dryness, laxity, and visible aging still persist. The issue isn't effort or discipline. It's that skin aging is being treated as a surface-level problem instead of a cellular and structural one.We dive deeper into this in the latest Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Jess Kane. We also chat about how cell membrane health shapes visible aging, why omega fats are widely misunderstood, and how most “liposomal” supplements never reach the cell.Jessica Kane is the Co-Owner and Chief Marketing Officer of BodyBio, a third-generation wellness company specializing in cellular health. She works alongside healthcare practitioners and researchers to translate complex cell membrane and lipid science into practical, evidence-based solutions. What's Discussed:(06:17) Why advanced skincare and red light therapy still fail without cellular building blocks(07:37) How low-fat nutrition and missing lipids weaken skin structure over time(09:55) Cell membranes explained as the foundation of skin barrier, tone, and elasticity(10:46) How phospholipids act as the “cement” between skin cells and prevent laxity(13:15) Why the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio matters more than taking fish oil alone(15:57) Why most phosphatidylcholine on the market is not truly liposomal(18:28) How “liposomal” labeling works and why most supplements fail cellular delivery(36:01) Why vitamin C and glutathione don't impact collagen without proper absorptionFind more from Young Goose:Find our Elastin Protocol here: https://younggoose.com/pages/elastin-action-protocol-landingFind our Winter Protocol here: https://younggoose.com/pages/winter-protocolVAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery: https://younggoose.com/products/vampire-exosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=appleInstagram: http://instagram.com/young_goose_skincareFind more from Jess Kane: Website: https://bodybio.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/jesskaneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodybio/Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@jesskaneb

Jenny Blake, author of "Free Time," reveals how her father—an architect who gives ruthless editorial feedback with his "WKIYB" abbreviation (we know it's your book)—taught her to eliminate unnecessary qualifiers and strengthen her writing. Drawing from her experience creating a paid family newsletter at age 11 with 50 subscribers, Blake has always been entrepreneurial, guided by her mother's lesson: "you should always know how to support yourself." As the breadwinner in her marriage who rejects traditional domestic roles, Blake challenges societal pressures on both men and women around earning and gender expectations. She introduces the "time-to-revenue ratio"—a missing P&L metric that measures how much time it takes to generate revenue—arguing that revenue, ease, and joy aren't mutually exclusive. Blake dismantles Benjamin Franklin's "time is money" myth, explaining that business owners aren't rewarded for butt-in-seat time and that working less actually requires more sophistication through systems, automation, and delegation. Her three-part framework—align, design, assign—helps entrepreneurs optimize what's now, not just navigate what's next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today's page, Menachot 23, we explore why size and ratio matter when it comes to our sacred offerings. The rabbis debate what happens when two meal offerings become so thoroughly mixed that you can no longer distinguish one from the other, leading to a fascinating discussion on the threshold of authenticity. How much of a thing can you change before it loses its essential character? Listen and find out.

Healthcare does not lack workers; it lacks a work model capable of supporting them. Modern care assumed infinite elasticity from clinicians, but that model has reached its limit. What comes next is not incremental change; it is reconfiguration: team-based, patient-centered, digitally enabled, and economically aligned with value. When the work is redesigned, the workforce stabilizes. This necessary reconfiguration is not a trend; it is an inescapable reality.

Join patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Normal blood work doesn't mean your minerals are actually working.In this episode, I wrap up the 4 part mineral series by zeroing in on hair test ratios and why they often matter more than whether a single mineral looks high or low. These ratios reveal patterns in your metabolism, stress response, thyroid, adrenals, blood sugar and even mood, so you can see what your body is actually doing, not just what the first page of your hair test says. Maybe you've stared at a hair test and had no idea what the numbers actually mean. This episode connects those ratios with the tired, anxious, bloated, cold and “hypothyroid” feelings that can show up even when your blood work looks fine. You'll finally be able to make sense of the patterns without obsessing over every single number. These patterns hint at fast or slow metabolic types, burnout or overdrive in your adrenals, and trouble using your thyroid hormones even if you can still make them.Once you see what your minerals are really doing together, it's hard to unsee what they're telling you about your body.This is part 4 of 4 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 12, 13 and 14 to deepen your knowledge.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:07] What mineral ratios reveal that individual levels never show[03:23] The thyroid ratio that explains symptoms even when labs look normal[10:29] Why some women still feel hypothyroid despite “good” test results[12:34] The mineral demands required to actually use thyroid hormone[26:52] How copper imbalances hide and what the copper detox ratio uncovers[27:55] Why molybdenum can help or overwhelm depending on timing[29:42] When balancing macro minerals matters more than adding supplementsResources Mentioned:Hormone Healing episode on How to do mineral testing | Listen NowMaster your minerals.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 461, published last January 5, 2015.  On today's Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman talks about the vital side of investing that is construction cost. As an investor within real estate, it's so important to know the situation, whether it be adjusting how much you pay contractors to match with the area itself or knowing just how much the replacements to your property would be compared with the actual cost price.   #JasonHartman #CreatingWealth #RealEstateInvesting #IncomeProperty #RegressionToReplacementCost #LTIRatios #LandToImprovementRatio #ConstructionCost #InvestmentRisk #CashFlowInvesting #PrudentInvestor #PackagedCommodities #NAHB #CyclicalMarkets #LinearMarkets #Birmingham #MeetTheMasters #FinancialFreedom #PropertyDepreciation #TaxBenefits #HartmanRiskEvaluator #FlashbackFriday #PropertyPerformer #CaliforniaRealEstate #TexasRealEstate #Homebuilders #ValueDrivers   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In this solo episode, Sam ties a bow on our ratios series — walking us through how to go from a rookie to an expert. Many recruiters are flying blind — not knowing what exactly is working, or why. Not knowing, definitively, what it takes to make a great placement. Sam breaks down the ratios of candidates needed for screening calls, interviews, and placements, contrasting the approaches of rookie and expert recruiters.Another takeaway? The importance of tracking recruitment metrics and creating a structured plan to achieve your goals effectively. You can't double-down on winning behaviors if you don't know what they are — so step one is to experiment, step two is to document, and step three is to create a feedback loop that ensures continued success.

Things Discussed: Bryce Underwood: Progress isn't linear. Jordan Marshall and the offensive line: The redshirt freshmen will save us! They're already playing at close to a Big Ten level. Defense: Purdue was very college crappe. I asked them to be vanilla, they were, and I'll take my lumps. Mad at special teams for not putting them back enough because the way Purdue plays they need to be able to take a TFL or a sack, or need to have a 4th down strategy. We're rotating an extreme amount, also there are extreme levels of injury: Any team that loses Rolder, Sullivan, and Barham isn't going to be great at LB. Protected the kids by blitzing them. Vance disappointed in the DTs: they were in the wrong gap sometimes on those LB blitzes. I saw Pierce do that once in the 1st half, haven't gotten to the 2nd half yet. DTs to me are Benny & Pierce, then a big gap to a lot of innings eaters, where Etta is more of a pass-rush option and Payne, Williams and Ike. You're playing a tempo team and they're only in there for three snaps. Running the DTs on and off the field is wearing them out as much as playing. Three snaps is three deadlifts of a 300-pound guy, then you're sprinting a 300+ pound body off the field. Too much rotation: They got on a 19-play drive with a quarter break and at no point in that drive did Michigan have their best available players on the field at over 50% of the spots. Brandt is not on Moore's or Guy's level. Ratios are way off. Brandt plays as much as Derrick, more than Guy. Are guys going to leave if they don't get PT? That's true but 1) That doesn't explain having starters playing 40% of snaps, 2) That's not the culture of this program. The culture of this program wasn't "You get yours" it was "Egos don't matter as much as the Team." That 2023 team had multiple "starters" because Harrell and Stewart could both play at a high level, sophomore D-Mo and McGregor could both play at a high level. If it's a program goal to get guys snaps against Purdue, go and beat Purdue first and then when you're up three touchdowns get your guys in. Offense and Bryce: He's young and doing young guy things like fleeing the pocket and forcing throws he's used to throwing. He had a terrible half and a decent half. Can't really blame Chip because he's giving him the reads, e.g. a wheel to Klein that takes advantage of Purdue taking away screens, and he throws it at Klein's feet. Also: he doesn't have receivers who make those plays for him when they're there. Klein should have caught that ball. Semaj had another one whistle through his hands. McCauley didn't adjust to a ball in the endzone. Go watch any freshman QB and you see the same things: Watch JJ in 2021. Watch Gardner when he was young. Go under center? Might help the run game but Crimes Against Man Panda. Craig talks about the 1939 Bears. Men's Hoops: Oakland was bad. Open corners were just there, they were missing two players, run a complicated zone with a new team. Trey McKinney is a knockdown shooter, and he has a little Darrius Morris (RIP) in his game. He's not Mike Smith, won't have short-arm turnovers. Good sign he can use his long arms productively. Cadeau: Wonder if he's going to have more TOs against Wake Forest. If he can keep turnovers under control this team will be very good. Defense has a very high floor. Michigan has three bigs instead of two this year, means their second-best lineup won't be a massive drop from their best. Didn't have Cason, might be that sixth guy of the year (or your starting two?) who can be Plan B for point guard and competently relieve Roddy when they full-court press him. Solution for press: Mara? Just have the freaky tall guy pass it without putting the ball on the floor. Women's Hoops: Very interesting team. They're five-out, swarming. Lots and lots of turnovers.

Nigol Koulajian, founder of AlphaQuest rejoins Niels and Alan for a conversation about markets shaped less by fundamentals than by perception. As political influence deepens and volatility is managed rather than discovered, traditional risk signals lose meaning. Sharpe ratios climb not through edge, but through exposure to hidden fragilities. Diversification is narrowing. And while systematic strategies continue to hold their line, the forces around them are shifting - slowly, structurally, and with consequences. This episode is about recognizing imbalance in real time, resisting the comfort of consensus, and asking whether today's apparent stability is masking tomorrow's risk.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:32 - Introduction to our special guest01:57 - How did the economy end up the way it is today?09:15 - Is it just a cycle?19:46 - What is the end game?23:47 - A short masterclass on skew and convexity31:45 - How trend following has changed over time39:18 - Should you optimize your portfolio from a short or long term perspective?45:19 - How Nigol navigates the strong headwinds for CTAs53:04 - Turning the risk of pod shops into opportunities56:06 - When will we revert to a more "normal" environment?Copyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment...
