Niklas sits down with biomedical researcher and libertarian author Mary Ruwart (Death by Regulation) to dissect how decades of FDA rules derailed innovation, extended timelines from 4 to 14 years, and quietly reshaped the entire pharma industry, from discovery to delivery.Together, they unpack:* The pivotal moments: 1962's Kefeuver-Harris amendments and 1992's PDUFA and how they changed the game* Why the system now favors chronic medication over simpler or even one-shot cures* How off-label use and underground networks (like HIV buyers clubs) filled the gaps left by regulation* What the rollback of “Chevron Deference” means and why this may be the biggest opening in decades* How “statistical significance” became a misleading gold standard* Why founders still building in the U.S. need to understand the incentives behind drug lag, suppression of short-term treatments, and the quiet cartelization of Big Pharma* What it means to build around, beyond or outside the FDA: from Montana to PrósperaMore about Mary's work:* Mary's X* Wiki* Amazon BooksExplore Infinita City:* Explore the Archive: The Infinita City Times* Visit Infinita City* Join the Builders' Hub on Telegram* Follow Infinita City on X This is a public episode.

Every man wants to feel his best - focused, energized, and performing at his peak. But between busy schedules, stress, and inconsistent habits, it's easy to lose that edge. In this Week 4 session of the doTERRA Detox Training Series, leaders Tim Crain and Mike Mangelson break down what clean fuel, foundational nutrition, and gentle daily detox really mean. This class uses simple analogies like cars, tools, and yard work to explain how your body's "engine" works and what it needs to stay running smoothly. You'll also learn why foundational nutrition, clean inputs, and consistency are key to supporting steady energy, focus, and overall resilience without complicated routines or extreme approaches. In this episode, you'll learn:

Episode Summary: Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no? Or have you ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted because you were trying to meet everyone else’s expectations? If so, you are not alone. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Day, today, we’re going to explore how to move from overwhelmed to overjoyed by learning to say no without feeling guilty. We’ll dive into Scripture, explore research on overcommitment, and I’ll share five practical ways to set God-honoring boundaries. Quotables from the episode: Many of us, especially as women, have been taught that saying yes is the godly thing to do. We associate busyness with productivity, and productivity with worth. But the truth is, constantly saying yes can leave us drained, distracted, and distant from God’s best for us. For many years, I said “Yes” every time something was asked of me because I believed it was the godly response. Until God impressed upon my heart that he never told me to do that much, and had I sought him for wisdom, He would have readily guided my path! That was totally on me, but God was so gentle in getting my attention. Psychologists have long studied the effects of people-pleasing and overcommitment. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that chronic overcommitment leads to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Emotionally, people-pleasers often struggle with self-worth, believing their value is tied to what they do for others rather than who they are in Christ. Chronic Overcommitment and Overwhelm Chronic overcommitment and overwhelm can take a serious toll on physical health, leading to conditions such as: Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance – Constant stress can dysregulate cortisol levels, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, and difficulty managing emotions. Cardiovascular Issues – Chronic stress increases blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Weakened Immune System – Prolonged stress suppresses immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and slower to heal. Gastrointestinal Problems – Overwhelm can contribute to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and digestive issues. Chronic Pain & Inflammation – Stress triggers inflammation, which can exacerbate conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Sleep Disorders – Overcommitment often leads to insomnia, poor sleep quality, and chronic fatigue. Weight Gain or Loss – Stress-related eating patterns can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations, metabolic dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Muscle Tension & Headaches – Persistent stress can cause tight muscles, tension headaches, and even TMJ (jaw pain from clenching). Burnout & Mental Fog – Long-term overwhelm can impair cognitive function, reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability. Autoimmune Disorders – Chronic stress has been linked to the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Managing stress through rest, boundaries, and self-care isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s essential for physical health. Jesus himself set boundaries. In Luke 5:16, we read, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” He didn’t heal every person or meet every need. He sought the Father’s will first. If Jesus set boundaries, then we should, too. Addressing the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration To counteract the physical effects of chronic overcommitment and overwhelm, we must address both the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration. Here’s how: Prioritizing Rest & Sabbath (Biblical & Scientific) Biblical Insight: God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2-3, and Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places (Mark 6:31). Sabbath isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command for our well-being (Exodus 20:8-10). Science: Rest lowers cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances brain health. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and physical repair. Application: Schedule intentional rest. Guard your Sabbath. Ensure 7-9 hours of sleep. Setting Boundaries to Prevent Overcommitment Biblical Insight: Even Jesus set boundaries—He didn’t heal everyone at once and took time alone with the Father (Luke 5:16). Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts, which includes protecting our time and energy. Science: Chronic stress leads to burnout, weakened immunity, and heart disease. Learning to say “no” prevents emotional and physical depletion. Application: Use discernment in commitments. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with God’s will? Is this sustainable? Engaging in Mind-Body Renewal Biblical Insight: Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds. Philippians 4:8 tells us to focus on what is pure and lovely. Science: Practices like deep breathing, exercise, and gratitude shift the brain out of stress mode, improving mental clarity and resilience. Application: Try breath prayers (e.g., inhale “Be still,” exhale “and know that I am God”; inhale “I trust you, God,” exhale “in all things.”). Move daily to reduce inflammation and boost mood. Nourishing the Body & Mind Biblical Insight: Daniel chose healthy foods and was stronger than those indulging in excess (Daniel 1:12-15). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Science: Whole foods reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stress-related illnesses. Application: Eat nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and avoid excess caffeine or sugar that heightens stress responses. Seeking Community & Support Biblical Insight: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 teaches that two are better than one. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone (Galatians 6:2). Science: Social connection lowers stress hormones, strengthens immunity, and increases resilience. Application: Surround yourself with godly counsel. Delegate. Accept help. Community is part of God’s design for our well-being. Releasing Control & Trusting God Biblical Insight: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Trusting God’s sovereignty brings peace (Isaiah 26:3). Science: Chronic stress stems from feeling out of control. Releasing worries to God reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Application: Regularly surrender your burdens to God. Journal prayers. Meditate on Scriptures about His faithfulness. By aligning our lives with God’s rhythms and applying scientific wisdom, we can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout and experience lasting peace. Practical Tips for How to Set Healthy, God-Honoring Boundaries Recognize that “No” is a Complete Sentence You don’t need to over-explain or justify your decision. Jesus simply said “yes” or “no” (Matthew 5:37). When we recognize that saying no is a way to honor God’s best for us, we can do so with confidence. Pray Before You Commit Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ”Before saying yes to anything, take a moment to pray and ask, Is this God’s best for me in this season? Set Priorities Based on God’s Calling Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are created for good works that God prepared in advance for us. This means that we are not called to do everything—only what He has specifically prepared for us. Identify what God is calling you to do in this season and let that guide your commitments. Understand That Saying No Opens the Door for God’s Yes When we fill our schedules with obligations, we leave no room for the divine appointments God has for us. Saying no creates margin for God’s greater yes. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Practice Saying No with Grace and Love You can say no in a way that honors both God and the other person. Here are a few ways: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t commit to that right now.” “I appreciate the opportunity, but I need to focus on what God has called me to in this season.” “I’d love to help another time, but my plate is full right now.” Encouraging Scripture to Empower You: Learning to say no without feeling guilty Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Scripture References: Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Saying no is not a rejection of others—it is a way of saying yes to what God has planned for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed and exhausted. You can move from overcommitted to overjoyed by setting God-honoring boundaries. I encourage you this week to pray over your commitments. Ask God to show you where you need to say no so you can say yes to His best. If today’s episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement in this area.

When we've been hurt, our instinct is to retreat, to heal in private and protect our hearts. But true healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when we are witnessed gently, without judgment and reminded that we are not alone. In this episode, I explore the deep human need to belong and the medicine that comes when we allow ourselves to be seen. You'll learn why connection is essential for healing, how shame dissolves in the presence of compassion, and what it truly means to be “held” by another soul. Also, we discuss the difference between fitting in and belonging and how circles of women, sisterhood and a shared truth heals us. If you've been craving connection in your healing, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that belonging is part of your becoming.

You don't have to be bloated to have a gut problem. If you're tired all the time, snapping at people you love, waking up foggy, or feeling like your body just isn't responding anymore… your gut might be at the root of it. In this episode, Dr. Kacey Wallace reveals the silent signs of gut dysfunction most women miss — even when their digestion seems “normal.” She shares how hidden inflammation in the gut quietly drives everything from mood swings and fatigue to hormone chaos and autoimmune patterns — and how healing your gut can help you reclaim your energy, focus, and peace again. You'll also hear the story of how her own “normal” labs missed everything — until functional testing revealed what was really going on beneath the surface. Because real healing doesn't start with chasing symptoms. It starts with repairing the roots. ✨ Stop managing symptoms. Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency. Reclaim the Real You.

Have you ever had someone at work subtly cut you down — interrupting you, taking credit for your ideas, or making those quiet comments that leave you second-guessing yourself? You're not alone.According to a 2023 Harvard Business Review study, nearly half of professionals say they've been undermined by a coworker. And women are more likely to experience it from other women — not because women are the problem, but because competition often increases in workplaces where opportunities and recognition feel limited.In today's episode, we're going deeper into how to handle these moments with grace and authority. You'll learn three power moves that protect your peace, preserve your reputation, and keep you in control — no matter who's trying to shake your confidence.This episode builds on Episode #61, “What to Do When Staff or Coworkers Undermine You - that episode explored why undermining happens and how to recognize it early. Today, we'll go a step further with new strategies that show you exactly what to do when it happens!3 Power Moves Every Career Woman Should Know1. Name the Game, Don't Play It When someone tries to rattle you, don't react — respond strategically. Stay calm, recognize what's really happening, and redirect the conversation with confident phrases like: “I'd like to finish my point before we move on,” or “That's one perspective — here's another.”2. Reclaim the Narrative Don't let silence give others control of your story. Keep your work visible and your communication clear. Follow up in writing, document your wins, and make sure the right people know your value. 3. Guard Your Energy You don't have to fix toxic people — you just have to protect yourself. Limit interaction, focus on allies, and stay grounded in your peace. If you're navigating a situation like this and need help crafting exactly what to say, schedule a free consultation at drdawnshoptalk.com/book-online.

Send us a textControl feels safe until it steals our peace. We sit down with Brooke Burke for a candid, spirited conversation that turns into an unscripted coaching session on surrender, acceptance, and real-world agency. We unpack why powerlessness isn't weakness but a compass pointing us away from unwinnable battles—other people's moods, shifting schedules, the traffic, the verdicts of bosses or gatekeepers—and back toward choices that actually change our day.Together we trace how old survival strategies harden into overfunctioning and anxiety, and how pain can act like a circuit breaker that opens a window for change. Brooke shares a vulnerable story about planning the “perfect” family dinner and facing the gap between her hopes and reality. We use it to model three simple moves: name what's not in your control, notice how control attempts create unmanageability, and choose one clear action you do own. Sometimes it's as small as a group text: Is anyone free for dinner tonight?Expect a blend of practical tools and nervous-system literacy. We talk micro-pauses, sixty-second breath breaks, and nightly accountability scans, all designed to reduce cortisol, reclaim attention, and turn presence into a habit. We also explore the invisible emotional load many women carry, why uncertainty once felt like spiritual death for some of us, and how tracking what we can control—our second thought, our time, our self-talk, our rest—shifts life from frantic to manageable, and from manageable to joyful.If you're ready to trade perfection for precision and control for clarity, press play.

As our technology fast comes to a close, Pastor Bill urges us to choose discipline over drifting back into our old routines.

Most founders think they'll know when they're ready to exit, but readiness doesn't arrive with an offer sheet. It's forged in the years before the deal, through every decision made when no one's watching. In this powerful episode, Jerome Myers exposes the hidden gap between financial readiness and founder readiness, where many leaders lose more than money: they lose purpose, relationships, and identity. You'll discover why waiting feels safe but quietly destroys value, how to recognize when you've already started your next exit, and how to build the muscle of readiness long before the market, or life, forces your hand. This isn't about selling your business. It's about designing your evolution.[00:00 – 04:00] The Illusion of Readiness Exit readiness is more than revenue or valuation; it's about emotional and operational alignment Many founders mistake momentum for readiness, avoiding the deeper work of letting go Readiness must be trained like a muscle, not treated as a milestone [04:00 – 08:00] The Real Cost of Waiting A founder-dependent company loses up to 50% of its value Avoidance creates silent erosion—financial, relational, and personal The cost of unreadiness shows up in distance from loved ones and disconnection from self Freedom fades when your title becomes your identity [08:00 – 12:00] Building True Readiness Three pillars of readiness: Operational, Emotional, Strategic Operational: Can the business run without you? Emotionally: Can you let go without losing yourself? Strategic: Don't just plan what you're leaving—plan what you're stepping into Introduces the NEXT Framework: Nourish → Evaluate → Explore → Transcend [12:00 – 15:00] Designing the Next Chapter Complete the Exit Readiness Assessment to measure alignment in seven key areas Clarity—not cash—reveals whether you're truly ready Reclaim one hour a week for “future design.” Protect it like a board meeting with your future self Curiosity—not capital—is the founder's greatest asset [15:00 – 17:00] Evolving by Design Readiness is built through reflection, honest conversation, and consistency Say it out loud: “I'm beginning to think about what comes next” Don't wait for the crisis to evolve; create momentum while you still have leverage “The best exits aren't timed—they're earned” Key Quotes: “Readiness isn't a moment—it's a muscle.” - Jerome Myers “Waiting feels safe until it costs everything that actually matters.” - Jerome Myers  Join industry leaders shaping the future and secure your spot at the Exit Planning Summit today! https://exitplanningsummit.com/speakers Ready for your next chapter?Start Your Assessment Now

In this soul-stirring solo episode, Lora Cheadle reframes recovery from betrayal, showing why focusing on fixing what's broken only keeps you stuck in the cycle of pain.

What if the greatest lie ever told was that suffering is natural? In Part 74 of The Story of Creation, Michelle reveals one of the most powerful truths humanity has forgotten — that you were designed to explore, not to suffer. Using her expertise in universal communication, Michelle shares how every human has full access to the infinite intelligence of universal consciousness, the living network of creation that connects every soul, planet, and dimension in existence. This episode of The Authentic Human Podcast uncovers the Creator's true intention of human existence — not to control, judge, or test humanity, but to co-create with us through curiosity, joy, and expansion. You'll discover that your soul potential is not something you earn — it's something you remember. Every time you follow your natural instincts, explore your passions, and ask questions that arise from your heart, you contribute directly to human evolution and the expansion of the universe itself. Michelle explains why humanity has been trained to suppress curiosity and glorify suffering, and how to reverse that programming by reconnecting with your true human origins – the reason for your existence that has been stored safely within your energy. When you ask questions through intention, the energy reawakens, and answers are revealed. Instantly. This is not philosophy — it's the science of consciousness at its purest form. By the end of this exploration, you'll know how to: ✨ Access universal consciousness directly. ✨ Activate your soul potential. ✨ Release belief systems rooted in fear. ✨ Reclaim your natural ability to create and evolve. You were never meant to survive life — you were meant to explore it. Watch now and remember what you're truly capable of. Michelle Vickers is a researcher, explorer, and universal communicator who shares knowledge directly from The Creator and Universal Beings. Through The Authentic Human Podcast, Michelle reveals the truth of existence, creation, and evolution so every human can remember who they are and fulfill their purpose with clarity, integrity, and most importantly, truth. #consciousness #humanpotential #truth #endsuffering #spiritualawakening #thestoryofcreation #Authentichumanpodcast #truthseeker

As blockchain tech gets co-opted by legacy players for efficiency gains, has the revolution lost its edge? Crypto philosopher Paul Dylan-Ennis and Gitcoin's Head of Governance Dr. Nick Almond join Friederike to probe this shift from 2017's visionary DAOs to today's Telegram-negotiated votes and whale capture. Rooted in philosophy and complex systems, they unpack mind-hacking risks via data micro-targeting, the polycentric bulwarks (full nodes, prediction markets) shielding against cultural flips, and why epistemic tools could fortify crypto against real-world censorship.

Episode Summary: Community is a gift from God that reflects His nature and intention for us. Through meaningful relationships, we experience support, growth, and a deeper connection with Him. While cultivating community takes effort and intentionality, the blessings far outweigh the challenges. By leaning on biblical principles, embracing vulnerability, and taking actionable steps, we can foster relationships that uplift and transform us. Let’s take God’s invitation to heart and pursue community as a way to share His love, grace, and hope with others. Today, we’re diving into a topic that touches the heart of our daily lives: the importance of community. God created us for relationship, not just with Him, but with each other. In a world that often feels isolated and disconnected, it’s vital to rediscover the power of authentic, Christ-centered community. Together, we’ll unpack what the Bible says about community, why it’s essential for our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being, and practical steps we can take to intentionally cultivate meaningful connections. My son, Bryce, joins me on the podcast to talk about The Power of Togetherness: Why Community Matters in Faith and Life. Quotables from the episode: Christ-centered community is, in all reality, exactly what it sounds like. It is a community striving together to edify and encourage one another to grow in their relationship to Christ individually. And it is that community that pushes each other to go towards Christ in the center. I think that community is very important in today's culture because we have grown very disconnected. Part of that free reign of access is the advent of social media, and it is very helpful to be able to connect with people one -on -one and being able to see people's life updates. But I think everyone is fully aware of the social media fact of you're only seeing the best. Community is very important because there is that lack and that prevalence of comparison that is leading people to feel isolated and like they aren't living up to what the dream is. I would say isolated and discontent because of that tendency towards comparison. And yet isn't it interesting that in a day and an age where things are supposedly more social, we see that loneliness is a huge epidemic. So, it's kind of ironic, if you will, that in this day of social media, people are feeling lonelier than ever. What role does the Bible place on the value of relationships within the Church and beyond? Oh, the Bible places an incredible amount of importance on relationships. You can just go throughout all of scripture and every single book there is an example. There is David and Jonathan. There's Ruth and Naomi. There is John and Jesus. Paul and Timothy. You can go on and on and on and give examples of all of these wonderful pairs of relationships and these groups. Jesus having the twelve disciples and David's mighty men. there is so much importance in the Bible on relationships because when God formed Adam in the garden, he made Adam in his own image and looked at it and looked at Adam and said "This isn't good for you to be alone." Even though you were made in my image, the best good that you could have out of all of creation, it wasn't good for him to be alone. When we have a heart that's focused on the fact that God wants us to have community. He wants us to share his love with other people. I think we have to get past worrying what other people are going to think. Self -consciousness often stems from some type of fear, fear of rejection, fear of not being understood, fear of being misconstrued with what you say. The importance of vulnerability is really saying, you're not alone in whatever this thing is. Being able to be vulnerable and say, I've been down this road, or even if I've not been down this road, but I'm willing to walk down it with you, is so critical of just opening the door of wherever this relationship goes, I want to go there alongside you. Forgiveness is a necessary component in any relationship. What a great example there is in Jesus. That's exactly what he does with our sin. We have to ask for forgiveness. And so, if we receive forgiveness from him, how much more should we give forgiveness to others? If we don't extend forgiveness, then that's just an opportunity for the enemy to come in and build up bitterness and resentment, which tears down relationships. So, if we prize relationship, we prize connection, relationship, we've got to include forgiveness as an aspect then, or we run the risk of losing out. Start with open-ended questions and the willingness to be silent, waiting for the other person to respond, then pull on the strings within the conversation.

Hebrews 10:24-25 – "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds... not giving up meeting together." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 – "Encourage one another and build each other up."

This week on One Dream Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Leah Wilson discuss the importance of health freedom and personal empowerment in making health decisions and revleal a big secret! They critique the medical industrial complex, emphasizing the need for individuals to reclaim their health authority and trust their bodies. The discussion covers the impact of COVID-19 on public health policies, the dangers of fluoride in drinking water, and the ongoing lawsuit against the CDC regarding vaccine mandates. The Wilsons advocate for a vitalistic approach to health, encouraging listeners to embrace their innate ability to heal and make informed choices for their families. Takeaways: Health freedom is about making personal health decisions. Capital M medicine prioritizes profit over true healing. Natural health practices can enhance vitality. The CDC's vaccine schedule lacks comprehensive research. Empowerment comes from understanding health sovereignty. Vitalism recognizes the body's innate healing abilities. Parents should be trusted to make health decisions for their children. The movement for health freedom is gaining momentum. Resources Mentioned: Reclaim Vitality, PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON!

Joy is part of the practice. When you can't find it and don't know where to start? Start small. Start by reminding yourself that joy still exists, and it's a frequency vibrating right above our heads, and if we can just poke our heads out of this damned hole, we can find it - tap into it, and use it like the resource it is. Pay attention to the glimmers that make you feel seen. The goal is to make the next best choice. Reclaim your agency by starting with fun, whimsy, and joy.

In this week's Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler breaks down how men can reclaim masculinity in an overly feminized culture. He outlines five principles for leading, protecting, and providing in a world that often mislabels masculine virtues as toxic. Ryan challenges modern misconceptions, redefines what strength looks like, and calls men to take responsibility - for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Masculinity itself isn't toxic — it's how you use it. Men and women are equal in worth but different in design and purpose. Men must mentor boys to become strong, capable leaders. Leadership requires discernment — strength and compassion both matter. Reclaiming masculinity means earning influence through merit and integrity.
