A monthly pledge is all it takes!In this show:Switzerland's Audrey Werro delivered a stunning plot twist in the women's 800m, running the third fastest time in history (1:53.98) in Stockholm to beat a personal best from Keely Hodgkinson. Suddenly the world record conversation has two names in it. We discuss Werro's emergence and potential, the tactical error that may have cost Hodgkinson slightly, and what this means for the possibilities that the oldest world record in the sport falls this yearWhere does Femke Bol fit into all this? The Dutch 400m hurdles star changed events in search of new challenges, but the event is evolving so fast that the challenge looks significantly greater and she's not even raced outdoors yet! We discuss whether her 400 meter speed is a genuine weapon or whether the 400-800 double is as rare as it is for good reasonCooper Lutkenhaus is the most exciting teenager in track and field, already a world indoor champion, and now a Diamond League winner. We talk about his pedigree and potential, with Gareth nothing a multi-sport background that augurs well for his longevity. Challenges and 'road bumps' await, but he has a ceiling that may lie beyond the current world recordKirsty Coventry said she doesn't believe in paying Olympic athletes, and it has not landed well. Global Athlete has responded with a proposal for interim payments and a breakdown of the IOC's finances that is staggering. The IOC is sitting on nearly five billion dollars in reserves, and Global Athlete are asking for eight percent of the Paris broadcasting revenue. We ponder why Coventry made that statement knowing it would invite significant blowback, and what it reveals about the pressure she is under from inside the IOC. We also speculate on whether there are any good reasons to avoid paying Olympic athletesAnna van der Breggen lost the women's Giro on the final day from the pink jersey, her second Grand Tour lead lost this year. We explore why smaller team sizes in the women's peloton make tactical racing both more unpredictable and more compelling, and why the women's Tour de France is shaping up to be exceptionalThe UCI's weekly rule update: no more front jersey pockets, bike computers limited in size, finishing straights must now be at least 200 meters, and an appeal against the Belgian court ruling on gear ratios. We work through each one, pick out the ones that make sense and the ones that really don't, and ask again why the SAFER data hasn't been made public to respond some of the criticisms the UCI are receivingChristian Eriksen collapsed again during an international friendly, this time saved by his implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Ross explains what the device actually does, how often it fires appropriately versus inappropriately, and why Erikison's second event raises serious questions about whether continuing to play is tenableAnd finally, a listener on Discourse solved the mystery of why Shohei Ohtani's baseball salary looked so low on the Forbes rich list.

Is intuition a mystical "cool kids club" superpower, or is it an innate biological hardware built directly into human evolution? In this paradigm-shifting roundtable, host Doug Beitz sits down with three world-renowned experts in neuroscience, consciousness, and energy mechanics: pioneer of neurofeedback Dr. Drew Pearson, traditional Chinese medicine doctor and strategic advisor Dr. Amy Albright, and consciousness explorer Garnett Dupuis (creator of the Neurovisor).  Together, they bridge the gap between hard data and extra-sensory perception. You will discover how different brain networks handle pattern recognition , how stress and trauma hijack your biological "spidey sense" , and how to build "brain state fluidity" so your mind can seamlessly shift gears between deep logic and intuitive knowing.  What You'll Learn in This Episode: • The Biology of the "Gut Feeling": How the insula, amygdala, and anterior cingulate cortex collaborate to produce a physical "felt knowing" long before your conscious mind realizes it.  • The 20-Story Building Analogy: Garnett Dupuis breaks down how the human brain navigates between low-entropy stability (habit building) and high-floor flexibility (intuition and open exploration).  • De-cluttering the Nervous System: Why an overactive Default Mode Network (DMN) loops you into anxiety, and how to create a "quiet room" in your mind to hear subtle intuitive signals.  Keywords: Intuition, neuroscience, neurofeedback, brain optimization, consciousness, gut instinct, emotional intelligence, intuition training, neuroplasticity, brain mapping, heart coherence, masculine and feminine energy, meditation, breathwork, personal development, human potential, self-awareness, consciousness research, intuition science, brain health, Connect with the Guests Dr. Amy Albright         - https://www.instagram.com/dramyalbright/                                      - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amy-albright-gamechanger/                                      - https://www.holonexperience.com/ Dr. Drew Pierson       - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-drew-pierson-l-ac-daom-2b20439/                                      - https://www.instagram.com/dr.drewpierson/                                      - https://www.holonexperience.com/ Garnet Dupuis             - https://www.instagram.com/dupuisgarnet/                                     - https://www.linkedin.com/in/garnet-dupuis-24b78226/ Connect with Doug Beitz: Email: info@dougbeitz.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178

If you're struggling with stubborn weight gain, afternoon energy crashes, 3 a.m. wakeups, sugar cravings, brain fog, mood swings, or hot flashes, insulin resistance may be a bigger factor than you realize. In this episode, I break down why insulin resistance is not just a pre-diabetes issue and how it can quietly impact your hormones for years before it shows up on standard lab work. In this episode, I cover: • Why insulin resistance can explain or worsen many common perimenopause symptoms • The connection between estrogen decline and blood sugar regulation • How muscle mass directly impacts insulin sensitivity and metabolism • Why strength training is more effective than excessive cardio for metabolic health • How cortisol and chronic stress contribute to belly weight, cravings, and sleep disruptions • The most important lab markers to evaluate, including fasting insulin • Why supplements alone rarely solve the problem without addressing underlying hormone imbalances • Practical nutrition strategies to support blood sugar balance and hormone health If this sounds like what you're experiencing, schedule a Strategy Call with my team!

Evolutionary biologist Richard Lenski hopes to demonstrate Darwinian evolution in action. But one humble scientist from Northern Idaho says not so fast! On this classic episode of ID The Future from the archive, host Eric Anderson concludes a conversation with microbiologist Dr. Scott Minnich. In Part 2, Dr. Minnich critiques Lenski's famous Long Term Evolutionary Experiments. Through experiments of his own, Minnich has shown how the practical results of Lenski's project on E. coli are easily repeatable under different conditions, and how some key changes to E. coli are even reversible, both of which speak more to an organism's pre-existing capabilities than to a Darwinian explanation. "Overall, [Lenski's] E. coli haven't generated anything new," observes Minnich. "They're getting rid of stuff they don't need...they have hyper mutational rates...but in the long run, that's not an advantage, because you're just going to acquire too many mutations, and that's the road to extinction."

We explore the physiology of heat regulation in tennis, how safety policies are developed to protect players, explain why heat changes the tactical and technical nature of play, and what can be done to help players without handing out free passes to those less well preparedSean Ingle joined us recently to talk about the Enhanced Games. We share our thoughts as the dust settles, with more reflection on why the premise of trustworthiness was never really delivered, the money that is turning athlete's heads, and Gareth walks back a few things he said in the heat of the momentWe explain the deliberate logic behind World Athletics' new qualification standards, and what it means for athletes without a good agent or a seat at the Diamond League tableRugby and concussion are in the Spotlight again with two research developments. First, a group of researchers is promising a new evidence-backed head impact assessment protocol for women's players. Ross doesn't know exactly what that means, and we discuss what is already known about women's susceptibility to concussion. Then, a new study out of Ireland provides the first published evidence that lowering the legal tackle height in rugby has reduced concussion and overall injury rates at community level. Ross, who has been directly involved in the process, explains what we now know, what still needs work, and why a 20% drop, scaled across tens of thousands of players, is a genuinely meaningful public health winCan an athlete still compete professionally in multiple sports at the highest level?

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Ome Ogbru, PharmD, CEO and founder of AINGENS, to tackle a decades-old problem hiding in plain sight: life sciences runs on groundbreaking science, but is buried in broken processes. After 20+ years as a clinician, professor, and pharmaceutical executive, Ome reached a breaking point, and instead of finding a new job, he built a new company. He shares how generative AI, used responsibly and strategically, can finally give researchers their time back, cut through misinformation, and help the right information reach the right people faster. Four Key Takeaways: The scientific content workflow is fundamentally broken [4:15] -- Research teams are so resource-strapped that PhDs spend their time managing IT systems instead of doing science. Procuring a software solution could take one to two years and often didn't even solve the right problem. Generative AI isn't the magic wand, it's how you use it [20:01] -- When Ome first tested ChatGPT on biotech content and got poor results, he had a revelation: the tool wasn't the problem. The problem was not knowing how to use it. Pairing AI with deep domain expertise and proper workflows is where the real power lies. The human expert must remain in the driver's seat [32:30] -- AINGENS' platform (MACG) is built so the professional is in control. The AI handles the time-consuming, mundane tasks like literature search, drafting, and formatting, while the expert applies regulatory knowledge, judgment, and guardrails. Misinformation in life sciences is a public health problem [35:49] -- Misinformation travels faster than accurate data. Ome's vision is for generative AI to help industry proactively get accurate, personalized scientific information to the people who need it, patients, clinicians, and researchers alike, before the noise wins.

NAD is having a major moment — from IV drips and supplements to wellness clinics and now skincare. But is the science real, or is it just the next CBD? In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and veteran beauty executive (Revlon, Aveda, The Beauty Shop), to break down exactly what NAD is, why your skin cells need it, and whether the new wave of NAD skincare products is worth your money. They dig into the cellular biology of aging skin, why most moisturizers are just sitting on the surface, and what it actually takes for an ingredient to penetrate to the basal layer where the real work happens. Melisse also shares how Harvard and MIT research led to Aramore's formulation, how to spot faux players in the NAD skincare space, and why she believes NAD precursors, retinol, and sunscreen are the only three non-negotiables in any skincare routine. The conversation takes a fascinating turn into the future of beauty — from pharma's growing role in skincare to GLP-1s, inflammation management, and what's really next for aging women. Plus: a candid, unexpected conversation about death, dignity, and the industry no one is building yet.

Beyond Biohacking: The Real Science of Longevity

What does real longevity actually look like? Is it the latest biohacking trend, or something much more foundational? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Loren Marks, chiropractor and longevity-focused clinician, to discuss why the conversation around healthspan is rapidly becoming one of the most important topics in modern healthcare. Together, we explore how true longevity is less about chasing health fads and more about understanding and optimizing the body's fundamental physiological processes. Dr. Marks breaks down the difference between biohacking and sustainable longevity, emphasizing the importance of metabolic health, inflammation control, and personalized assessments. We discuss key biomarkers such as insulin and hsCRP, the role of muscle mass in aging well, and why balance training is one of the most overlooked strategies for preventing falls and maintaining independence later in life. If longevity is the healthcare conversation of the next decade, this episode offers a clear roadmap for practitioners and patients alike. From foundational metabolic markers to functional movement and personalized care, we explore how integrating modern science with clinical fundamentals can help people not just live longer, but live better.   Key takeaways: Longevity is rooted in physiological optimization rather than quick-fix biohacking techniques. Metabolic markers such as insulin, APOB, and HSCRP play crucial roles in determining health risks and should be part of regular health assessments. Muscle mass is pivotal for glucose disposal, fall prevention, and overall health, making strength training essential for longevity. Balance training can significantly reduce fall risks, a leading cause of serious injuries among older adults. More About Dr. Loren Marks: Dr. Loren Marks is a Manhattan-based Doctor of Chiropractic and board-certified Clinical Nutritionist with more than four decades of clinical experience guiding patients toward precision health, structural integrity, and long-term vitality. At his Midtown practice, Dr. Marks delivers executive-level health optimization through comprehensive metabolic analysis, advanced cardiovascular risk stratification, microbiome and gastrointestinal evaluation, hormone mapping, and precision structural care. His work integrates chiropractic medicine, functional nutrition, advanced blood chemistry interpretation, and non-invasive performance technologies into a cohesive, data-driven model of care. With a deep foundation in spinal biomechanics and neurophysiology, Dr. Marks brings extensive expertise in structural rehabilitation, chronic pain syndromes, neurologic function, and the relationship between biomechanical alignment and systemic health. His clinical approach recognizes that metabolic resilience, neurologic integrity, and structural stability are inseparable components of long-term performance and longevity. Dr. Marks is the author of a chapter in Arachnoiditis: The Evidence Revealed, edited by Antonio Aldrete, MD, and a contributing chapter author in Integrative Gastroenterology, edited by Gerard Mullin, MD, as part of the Andrew Weil integrative medicine series. His published work reflects a longstanding commitment to bridging structural medicine, gastrointestinal health, and systems-based clinical strategy. Known for synthesizing complex laboratory and clinical data into clear, strategic action plans, Dr. Marks focuses on identifying subtle patterns of dysfunction years before they manifest as overt disease. His philosophy is grounded in a core principle: sustainable longevity and peak performance are achieved not through isolated interventions, but through system-wide alignment — metabolic, neurologic, structural, and behavioral.

Join Dr. Betty Murray in this episode as she breaks down the science behind progesterone.  Amid online controversy, Dr. Betty explains what progesterone does in the body, how it declines first in perimenopause, and why bioidentical micronized progesterone differs from synthetic progestins used in birth control and older HRT like Prempro.    She reviews evidence that oral micronized progesterone (often ~300 mg at bedtime) can improve sleep architecture and may reduce hot flashes/night sweats, while clarifying mixed findings and underpowered studies. It addresses brain and cognition claims by separating human data (largely neutral/no cognitive harm, mood benefits) from alarming animal studies, and explains individual variability via allopregnanolone metabolism, PMDD/depression history, genetics, and route of delivery (oral vs vaginal). In addition, she discusses cardiovascular nuance, endometrial protection with estrogen, and cyclical vs continuous dosing considerations.   If you're a woman over the age of 35, and are looking for relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and disrupted sleep, this episode is for you.

Staying on rugby, we discuss head injury management, after a few stories popped up in the world of rugby. In the first, a player was allowed to continue playing by the team doctor, but the referee stepped in to have the player removed with a concussion. In the second, a player admitted to 'cheating' the Head Injury Assessment screen back in 2017 to keep playing with a concussion. We discuss whether Rugby's policies to manage head injuries are working?Shifting gears, we return to the snow of Milan Cortina, as Gareth noticed some interesting discussion about cross-country skiing, and whether 50km was too long because of the challenges it creates for athletes who run out of fuel. We talk about "hitting the wall", and the truth about how our bodies use carbohydrates versus fat during endurance exercise.Then we talk doping. First, the UCI have asked its Testing Agency to catch a big name doper, with a feeling that the absence of positive tests isn't necessarily indicative of a clean sport, and their desire to catch a higher level rider apparently reflecting that realization. Staying on doping, Tara Moore is suing the WTA for $20 million after a series of bans, appeals and eventual bans for doping that she believes was inadvertently caused by meat contamination.Our final doping conversation comes from Athletics, where a Member asks whether the records should be reset when they are suspected of being the result of doping. This would particularly affect the Women's record books. We discuss that, offering some insights into how they might justify the removal of some, but not all records, and whether it can feasibly be done.And finally, there was drama in the USA last weekend, where race leaders followed the lead car off course, and eventually lost podium spots and prize money. Calls to award those athletes the prize money and places at the World Champs have been growing in volume, and we discuss why the logical solution is not all that tricky, despite the letter of the law standing in the way.LinksAnthony Watson admits to cheating the Concussion protocols to continue playingI mentioned the World Rugby Player Welfare Symposium, it's next week (9 to 11 Mach), it's online and it's free to everyone.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor unpacks what scaling really means and why most leadership teams get it wrong. Scaling is not about adding more projects, more people, or more hustle. It is about raising minimum standards, eliminating tolerated nonsense, and using time as a strategic tool. Drawing on Dr Benjamin Hardy's book The Science of Scaling, Debra explains why reasonable goals protect the status quo while impossible goals force clarity, discipline, and structural change. She challenges leaders to stop confusing effort with progress and to start designing businesses that no longer tolerate “zombie work” such as unnecessary meetings, reports, and projects that quietly drain energy and capacity. Through practical examples and sharp insights, Debra outlines how impossible goals with clear timelines create focus, expose inefficiencies, and demand better leadership. If you want to scale without burning out your team or sacrificing quality, this episode will shift how you think about growth, standards, and execution.    CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/    Episode 261 Chapters:    00:00 – Introduction 00:42 – Scaling Businesses: The Science of Scaling  01:21 – Challenges in Scaling Businesses  03:15 – The Role of Impossible Goals in Scaling  04:13 – Practical Examples of Scaling  06:00 – The Frame-Floor-Focus Execution Ladder  08:36 – Eliminating Zombie Work  10:05 – The Real Science of Scaling  11:36 – Ad Lib Questions and Answers  20:43 – Conclusion and Contact Information

Is positive psychology real science… or just another version of “just think positive” that ignores real stress?In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman sits down with positive psychology expert Diane Lang to explore what the research actually says about gratitude, resilience, mindset, and positive aging.If you are raising kids, juggling work, navigating midlife changes, or feeling stretched thin, you may have wondered whether practices like gratitude really make a difference. Is it toxic positivity? Or is there measurable science behind it?This conversation breaks down:The difference between positive psychology and forced positivityWhy we need three positive emotions to balance one negativeHow gratitude rewires the brain over timeThe role belief systems play in midlife transitions and agingWhy lifestyle and mindset influence longevity more than we thinkPositive psychology does not deny grief, anxiety, or depression. It works alongside therapy, medication, and traditional treatment to build emotional resilience and long-term wellbeing.For moms navigating stress, perimenopause, identity shifts, and the invisible load of family life, this episode offers practical, research-backed habits that are realistic, free, and sustainable.THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Positive psychology is evidence-based and practical. It strengthens resilience without dismissing pain. It is about building emotional capacity, not pretending everything is fine.2. Gratitude and kindness shift your brain over time. Consistent daily practices improve sleep, mood, and stress recovery by retraining your negativity bias.3. Positive aging starts with mindset. Genetics play a role, but lifestyle, belief systems, relationships, and daily habits have significant influence over how we age physically and emotionally.Connect with Diane: https://dianelang.org/ If this episode challenged your thinking or shifted your perspective, share it with another mom who may need it.Because the more good we train our brains to notice, the more grounded we become.In a world where you are free to be anything, you are always free to be mindful.Send a textSupport the show120 COPING SKILLShttps://www.freetobemindful.com/podcast-120copingskillsGET THE MUSE HEADBAND AT A DISCOUNT!https://choosemuse.com/freetobemindfulUse this link to get 15% off your total when you purchase the amazing brain sensing headband that tells you when you're in a meditative state and guides you to improve your practice.LET'S STAY CONNECTED:

But we try! In this show, we look at the Nutella doping defence of an Italian biathlete. We discuss the dramatic performance of favourite Ilia Malinin, who confessed to "traumatic thoughts" before his ill-fated free-skate performance in Milan.There was no scoring controversy in that men's figure skating programme, but there have been in other events - Ice Dance and Big Air were affected by allegations of nationalistic bias, and then in the moguls, there was tie for gold, leading Ross to wonder about the credibility of a scoring system that uses subjective scoring to produce a tie down to the 1/100th of a point. Just share the gold, we reckon!One athlete who has had no problems, either with pressure or opponents, is Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, now the most decorated Winter Olympian ever, and basically unbeatable in shorter races. Can he deliver the 50km too? Another who has delivered on the promise is Jordan Stolz, though he was denied the 1500m speed skating gold. Reports of his cycling process have led to speculation that he could have a great career in cycling, should he fancy it. We discuss the barriers to that transition, and wonder how he might go about it.Away from the Games, there's an indoor world record in the 800m, which augurs well for Keely Hodgkinson's longer term aspirations of the outdoor World Record, and which puts Femke Bol's aspirations into perspective.

Are microplastics really damaging our health and destroying the environment — or have we been misled by headlines, fear and misinformation?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris DeArmitt, a scientist, author, and one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics. After reviewing more than 6,000 peer‑reviewed studies, Dr. DeArmitt brings clarity to one of the most confusing and emotionally charged topics today: microplastics.Together we unpack:• Do plastics actually take centuries to degrade?• Are microplastics in our bodies harmful?• What does the evidence really show about health risks?• Is the “giant island of plastic” in the ocean real?• How environmental myths fuel anxiety — especially in young people• Why some plastic alternatives have greater environmental impact• What science‑backed solutions actually help the planetThis conversation cuts through fear, sensationalism, and misinformation — and replaces it with real science, clear thinking, and grounded wellbeing insights.If you care about your health, the environment, or the truth behind microplastics, this episode is essential listening.About the Guest: Dr. Chris DeArmitt, FIMMM FRSC Dr. Chris DeArmitt is an internationally recognized materials scientist and one of the world's leading independent experts on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. He is the author of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastics Illusion, and founder of the Plastics Research Council, where he shares evidence-based insights drawn from thousands of peer-reviewed studies to challenge misinformation and fear-driven narratives about plastic and human health.

The Spotlight reveals some insights on those performances. We ask whether Lindsay Vonn's decision to race only 9 days after a ruptured ACL was a justifiable, correct one? Gareth has a new favourite sport - Cross-country skiing, dominated in spectacular fashion by Johannes Hofslot Klaebo and Sweden's women. Gareth is less enamoured with figure skating, but we discuss subjective sports and how coverage has improved to offer insights on scoring, and where it can continue to advance. We commend the coverage and footage from the Games, with revolutionary, spectacular drone footage. Speed skating is also in the Spotlight, and we share some insights that have been missing from the coverage, related to pacing. We also discover that some researchers suggest that the lane allocation offers significant advantages in some events.And finally, we end on 'penis-gate', the story (or is that a non-story) about the search for ski-jumping distance through the most literal application of 'marginal gains' you can imagine.That, and more, in the first of our Winter Olympic Spotlight shows.LinksThe story of ski jumpers injecting acid into their genitals for jumping gainsThe Guardian's coverage of Lindsay Vonn's dramatic downhillOur supporters weigh in on Vonn's decision to race, with some insightful comments and questions (supporters only - pledge above for access!)

It's a sporting year that won't include Ross finishing the mountain bike race he planned to, and we talk briefly about goals, burn-out and knowing when to cut your losses!Then we indulge a passion of the pod - talent ID. This after New Zealand's teen sensation Sam Ruthe broke another national record, this time in the 800m. But how often do these world class middle distance teens kick on and improve? The answer may be surprising, but it does reveal how fraught the talent prediction is, and we discuss whether talent is easier to spot in some sports than others?Staying on the philosophical theme, Gareth's recent forays into the principles of fitness and his attempts to simplify fitness, have led to fascinating conversations with our Science of Sport Supporters about the potential role of Artificial Intelligence in coaching and performance. Will AI take over from coaches? Can you plan and execute an effective training programme using nothing but AI prompts? Do we need human coaches when the knowledge of the whole world is at our disposal? Who has successfully capitalized on the AI hype, and who has contributed to the growing pile of "AI slop" in the world of sport and sports science?

Hear the scientific proof of a connection to something larger than ourselves from the world's leading expert on the psychology of spirituality, Dr. Lisa Miller. Whether you're a skeptic or have a deeply held belief in a higher power, you'll walk away with a lot to think about. Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia University professor and bestselling author of The Awakened Brain, shares that we're all facing a spiritual crisis linked to our current mental health epidemic. She explains 20+ years of neuroscience research proving that all humans are born with innate brain circuitry for spiritual connection. Ignoring this part of ourselves can lead to feelings of being lost, depression, addiction, loneliness, and poor decision-making. But when we activate our "awakened brain," everything changes.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” with your health but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Jessica Knurick, a PhD in nutrition science and registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience in chronic disease prevention, to uncover why Americans are getting sicker. Spoiler: it's not just about diet or exercise—it's about the systems shaping our lives in ways we don't even realize.  We dive deep into how our food environment, healthcare structure, and political systems were built for profit, not people, and how that reality quietly shapes everything from what ends up in our grocery stores to who can afford preventive care.  We also tackle the viral health debates taking over social media—like the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, raw milk, and claims about Tylenol and autism—using the latest scientific research to separate fact from fiction.  You'll leave feeling empowered to take action not just in your own kitchen, but in your community and at the ballot box.
