Targeted probiotic strains improve endurance, strength, recovery, and mental resilience by supporting gut integrity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing nutrient absorption Intense training damages your gut lining and weakens immunity, but probiotics help maintain barrier function and prevent bacterial toxins from triggering systemic inflammation Specific strains deliver specific benefits, such as Lactobacillus plantarum for endurance, Bacillus coagulans for muscle recovery, and Lactobacillus casei for stress reduction Supporting butyrate-producing bacteria fuels intestinal cells, improves lipid metabolism, and enhances oxidative muscle fibers for sustained aerobic performance Probiotics are most effective when introduced after gut healing, paired with a diet free from linoleic acid–rich vegetable oils and supported by prebiotic foods to maintain microbial balance

Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community The Entrepreneur's Paradox: How to Overcome the 16 Pitfalls Along the Startup Journey CounterfeitEmotions.com/recovery RecoveryNotSobriety.com Highlights Curtis focuses on the myths surrounding pornography addiction. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between sobriety and recovery, exploring how understanding emotions can lead to more effective healing. Key Insights Sobriety vs. Recovery: Sobriety measures how long one can abstain from pornography, while recovery focuses on understanding and processing underlying emotions. True recovery involves addressing the root causes rather than merely avoiding the behavior. Myth of Willpower: Overcoming pornography addiction is not solely about willpower. Many individuals struggle with deeper emotional issues that drive their behaviors, making it essential to address these emotions rather than just the actions. Shame vs. Guilt: Guilt can be a motivating emotion that encourages individuals to make amends, while shame leads to disconnection and despair. Understanding this distinction is crucial for effective recovery. Connection and Community: Building connections and fostering community can significantly aid recovery. Isolation often exacerbates addiction, while supportive relationships can provide the necessary encouragement and accountability. The Importance of Processing Emotions: Curtis introduces the "whole" method for processing emotions, which includes witnessing emotions, harmonizing through breathing, opening the mind to triggers, leading one's life, and editing the meaning of past experiences. Leadership Applications Creating Safe Spaces: Latter-day Saint leaders can foster environments where individuals feel safe to discuss their struggles with pornography and other issues without fear of judgment, encouraging open dialogue. Focus on Emotional Health: Leaders should prioritize understanding the emotional triggers behind behaviors rather than just addressing the behaviors themselves. This approach can lead to more meaningful support and healing. Encouraging Community Support: Leaders can facilitate peer support groups or mentorship programs that promote connection among members, helping individuals feel less isolated in their struggles and more empowered in their recovery journey. 00:02:15 - Understanding Sobriety vs. Recovery 00:06:49 - The Difference Between Sobriety and Recovery 00:09:06 - Emotional Triggers and Leadership 00:10:08 - The Myth of Sobriety 00:12:12 - Transformational Recovery 00:13:27 - Sobriety is Miserable, Recovery is Peaceful 00:15:02 - Taking Your Demons to Lunch 00:18:08 - Addiction to Shame 00:19:09 - Addressing the Root Causes 00:20:21 - The Loop of Shame and Addiction 00:22:36 - Guilt vs. Shame 00:24:06 - Identifying and Surfacing Demons 00:26:44 - The Importance of Connection 00:29:34 - The Role of Community in Recovery 00:30:17 - The Whole Method Explained 00:36:21 - Overview of the Myths The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top indep...

When Lisa Smith's family was gripped by the terror of her son's addiction, they felt like mere spectators to a relentless storm. But through her groundbreaking concept of parallel recovery, they began to reclaim their roles as active participants in the healing process. In this compelling episode, we sit down with Lisa, a TEDx speaker and author, who shares her family's transformative journey. She illuminates how families can support their loved ones suffering from addiction and mental health challenges by first addressing their own fears and recovery needs. Her insights shed light on addiction as a family disease and underscore the importance of structured recovery to create a more supportive environment.Our conversation with Lisa also navigates the vital principles of radical acceptance and compassionate boundaries in the recovery journey. She delves into the layered challenges families face, including confronting generational trauma and the systemic issues making family recovery services less accessible. We explore how stepping back from fear-driven responses can foster healthier interactions, and how setting boundaries, rather than being acts of harshness, can be deeply compassionate. Lisa's message is clear: when families engage in recovery, they not only aid their loved ones but enrich their own lives and relationships, crafting a nurturing space for healing amidst adversity.In this episode, you will hear:The concept of parallel recovery and its impact on family dynamics in addictionLisa Smith's personal journey with her son's addiction and mental health challengesImportance of addressing addiction as a family disease and involving families in the recovery processExploration of radical acceptance and compassionate boundaries in healingChallenges families face, including generational trauma and systemic barriers to recovery servicesFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm only as happy as my least happy child"? This seemingly loving sentiment actually reveals a profound codependent belief that makes us responsible for others' emotions while neglecting our own healing journey. As I discovered with my own family, no amount of fixing or controlling could make my unhappy child happy—that was his journey to walk. Only when I released my grip on controlling outcomes and turned inward did things begin to transform.Perfectionism, helping behaviors, and our need to "fix" others often masquerade as positive traits—but they're actually sneaky forms of codependency that keep us trapped in cycles of control. When we obsess over making everything perfect or rush to save others from their emotions, we're not being helpful—we're attempting to manage our own discomfort and create safety through control.The 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a spiritual path out of these patterns. Through this process, we replace the drive to fix others with self-compassion, embrace new beliefs about our inherent worthiness, and shift our lens from fear to love.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

When most of us addicts wash up on the shores of recovery to say we've lost our way seems a gross understatement. The bottom has usually fallen out from under our lives. We feel utterly lost and painfully alone. The world we knew is gone and no new world has arrived to take its place. We need a map to orient us and a guide to help us find our way home.This is the world Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis describes in his book “Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times.” It's likely an all too familiar world to most of us addicts. Hollis says not only are we lost, but the religious structures and cultural belief systems thatsupported yesterday's lost souls seem out of reach for many of today's men and women. The series describes this lost-world and how to access the “Inner Resilience” needed to find our way home. This episode is in two parts – each focused on insights into the gifts depth psychology can bring to us in recovery. Part #1 covers:A. The real issues of life are never solved – but they can be outgrown.B. The cure for loneliness is solitude.C. Our best, most demanding, and most useful job is addressing our own shadows.Show notes: Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times by James Hollis, PhD.

If you've ever told yourself, "I don't drink Monday through Thursday, but Friday comes and everything falls apart," then this episode is for you.Molly dives into the emotional and cognitive patterns behind this behavior and reveals why suppressing feelings and white-knuckling your way through the week might be setting you up to overdrink on the weekends. She challenges the idea that moderation might not be for you and offers a fresh perspective on building relief into your week before your brain demands it in the form of alcohol.What You'll Learn:The hidden emotional pressure behind the “I'm good all week” mindsetHow unaddressed emotions and mental fatigue lead to weekend overdrinkingThe science behind emotional suppression and cognitive loadWhy you don't need more willpower, you need a better strategyTools for building in relief and enjoyment throughout the weekA preview of More Sober October and No Binge NovemberResources Mentioned:Join More Sober OctoberGet notified about No Binge November and the Just One More courseLearn more about Molly's book: Breaking the Bottle LegacyNext Steps:If your weekends are undermining your progress, don't jump to conclusions about your ability to moderate.

Daniel Pena's life was spiraling out of control. Abandoned by his father and raised by a mother battling addiction, he grew up surrounded by chaos, domestic violence, and constant instability. By age 12, he was already drinking and smoking marijuana, desperately trying to numb the pain of rejection and abandonment that consumed him.The next decade brought a destructive cycle of felony charges, prison sentences, and crippling drug addiction. At his lowest point, Daniel found himself homeless, weighing just 100 pounds, facing 15 years in prison, and contemplating suicide. "I accepted that I was going to die on the streets or rot in prison," he recalls, his voice still carrying the weight of those dark times.But something extraordinary happened. Through three pivotal divine encounters – at a youth group at 14, in solitary confinement at 21, and in his father's backyard while preparing to inject drugs – God persistently pursued Daniel. The final surrender came when he dropped the needle, fell to his knees, and begged for help. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary transformation through a year-long discipleship program that taught him to work, pray, and build a genuine relationship with God.Today, 11 years sober, Daniel is a devoted husband, father of four, and founder of Men of Purpose, a ministry helping men discover their God-given identity. His message resonates with brutal honesty and profound hope: "When you don't know who you are, you'll latch onto anything – work, addiction, relationships – searching for identity. But you are a child of God, and He has a purpose for your life."Have you been searching for meaning in all the wrong places? Are you ready to discover your true identity? Listen as Daniel shares how God can transform anyone's life – no matter how far they've fallen.

Police and Firefighters, Trauma and Recovery. From Demons to Angels: A Georgia First Responder's Journey Through Trauma, PTSD, and Recovery. Dennis Pishock served his community in Georgia with dedication and courage, first as a firefighter, then as a police officer. His career placed him on the front lines of some of the most traumatic moments imaginable, from heartbreaking drownings to violent crime scenes. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Through it all, he carried the weight of the experiences, often silently, until he realized that recovery was possible and necessary. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “After thousands of traumatic calls and seeing friends and families fall apart, I knew I had to start telling my story,” Pishock shared. “I want others to know that recovery is possible, even when you're still serving on the front lines.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Traumas Behind the Badge One of the defining moments of Pishock's career came while serving as a firefighter in the Atlanta suburbs. His swift water rescue team was called to a river where an 8-year-old girl had gone missing while tubing. The girl's body was eventually discovered trapped beneath a submerged tree. “Even though she was right there, just below the surface, we couldn't get to her because of the current,” Pishock recalled. “That moment stayed with me for years.” Police and Firefighters, Trauma and Recovery. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The trauma intensified when he learned that one of his teammates, who had a young daughter also tubing that day, initially feared the girl was his own child. Thankfully, it wasn't, but the tragedy was no less devastating. These experiences compounded with countless other traumatic calls. Pishock thought he had processed them, but the emotional toll followed him when he transitioned from firefighting to policing. Police and Firefighters: Different Uniforms, Same Demons The shift from fire service to law enforcement is unusual, but for Pishock, it was a continuation of his call to serve. However, as a police officer in Georgia, he faced even more trauma, shootings, violent incidents, and deaths that left invisible scars. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “My family life began to fall apart,” he admitted. “I didn't recognize how much the job had changed me until I went to Peer Support Training. That's when I finally realized, I needed help.” The wake-up call came after learning about the suicides of several close friends, all fellow first responders. It was a turning point that pushed him toward recovery. Police and Firefighters, Trauma and Recovery. Facing Demons, Finding Angels In his book Demons & Angels, Pishock documents his most personal battles and the lessons he has learned along the way. The book, available across social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and discussed on podcasts across Apple and Spotify, is not just about his own survival, it's a guide for others. “This book isn't just for me,” Pishock explained. “It's for every police officer, firefighter, and military member who has spent sleepless nights wrestling with trauma. It's for anyone who has chosen to serve America and knows the cost that comes with it.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. He describes the brotherhood shared among those who wear the badge or the uniform, comparing it to the camaraderie found in military service. “Servitude is where it's at,” he said. “To those who serve, I love you. To those who don't understand, you'll never truly get what you've missed.” Understanding PTSD in First Responders Pishock's story highlights the reality that many first responders in America face, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research shows that between 10% and 35% of police and firefighters develop PTSD, a rate far higher than the general population. Police and Firefighters, Trauma and Recovery. PTSD alters the brain's function: Hippocampus: shrinks, impairing memory and learning. Amygdala: becomes hyperactive, intensifying fear and emotional responses. Prefrontal cortex: weakens, reducing the ability to regulate those emotions. The symptoms are wide-ranging, intrusive memories, nightmares, flashbacks, detachment from loved ones, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, and sometimes destructive behaviors. His story resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. “Most people don't realize that PTSD isn't just about war,” Pishock noted. “It's about the accumulation of traumas, what we see, what we experience, and even what we can't change.” The Road to Recovery Recovery, Pishock stresses, is not an overnight transformation but a journey. It sometimes requires professional help, and strong social support networks. Pishock also emphasizes peer support as a lifeline: “Talking to someone who has been there, who truly understands, can make the difference between holding on and giving up.” The stages of recovery often move from acute struggles to gradual stability, and eventually to a place where individuals can regain control over their lives. His message for first responders in Georgia, across America, and beyond is clear: “Don't wait until it's too late. PTSD is real, but recovery is possible. You are not alone.” Police and Firefighters, Trauma and Recovery. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. A Journey Shared Through Book and Social With Demons & Angels, Pishock is offering more than a book. He's opening the door for conversations on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, while expanding the discussion to podcasts on Apple and Spotify. His journey reflects the resilience of police officers, firefighters, and military personnel who continue to battle trauma while striving for recovery. Through his story, Pishock hopes to shine a light in the darkest places, reminding others that even when demons are loud, angels can still be found.

When the Beat Stopped: The One Who Found His Faith AgainBefore the hospital gowns and machines, Kyle David kept time for a living—a professional drummer and percussionist whose life moved in rhythm. Then a hurricane evacuation from New Orleans spiraled into a fight with COVID pneumonia, and the beat of everyday life stopped.What followed was a grueling medical odyssey: three hospitals, 50 days in ICU, a month-long coma, and moments when he was declared clinically dead—twice. Doctors said his only chance was a double-lung transplant. Airlifted to San Diego, Kyle spent nearly seven months learning to breathe, speak, and walk again.Somewhere in that long valley, Kyle's faith cracked. He prayed what felt like his last honest prayer:“Lord, either heal me miraculously now—or let me come home. I can't do this another day.”Silence seemed to answer back. For the first time, the drummer who had grown up with church in his bones felt the tempo of belief slipping away.Then came the moment he thought might be his last. During a brief outing from the hospital, Kyle's portable life-support machine failed. With a tracheostomy tube and seconds to spare, he rose from his wheelchair and shouted so nurses and his mother could hear:“Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.”If this was the end, he wanted his final words to be his clearest.Days later, a matching set of donor lungs became available. On March 3, 2022, surgeons performed the transplant that saved his life. Recovery was slow and humbling—scales and rudiments, but for breathing. Yet as his lungs healed, something deeper healed, too. The God who seemed silent in the ICU met him again—quietly, steadily, mercifully.Kyle describes what happened next as a re-tuning of his soul. The brushes became sticks; the metronome clicked again. His near-death season led him into the ancient prayers and steady rhythms of Eastern Orthodox worship, where he found a church that helped him rebuild his life in Christ with reverence, beauty, and community.“If I hadn't walked through that fire,” Kyle says, “I might never have discovered this path. My suffering became a blessing in disguise.”Kyle's story is more than a medical miracle. It's a testimony for anyone who's suffered long, doubted hard, and wondered if the music of faith was finished. God did not waste the silence. He used it to write a new song.Hear the full conversation on Cloud of Witnesses—Kyle's journey from a failing heartbeat to a living hope, from the edge of unbelief to a renewed confession of Jesus as Lord.

In this episode of The Real Triathlon Podcast, the team discusses their recent experiences in triathlon, focusing on recovery journeys, race performances, and predictions for the upcoming Ironman World Championship. They share personal stories of healing, the importance of community support, and reflections on current events affecting the world. The conversation highlights the resilience of athletes and the mental aspects of training and competition. Recovery is a mental and physical journey that requires positivity. Community support plays a crucial role in an athlete's journey. Hormonal fluctuations can impact performance, especially for women. Staying active and engaged during recovery can lead to faster healing. The upcoming Ironman World Championship is highly competitive with many potential winners. Athletes often face unexpected challenges during races, including injuries and mental blocks. The importance of nutrition and hydration during races cannot be overstated. Athletes should be aware of their body's signals and adjust training accordingly. The camaraderie among athletes can provide motivation and support during tough times. Current events can impact the mental state of athletes, highlighting the need for gratitude and perspective.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down some recent USC men's basketball practices, including Shotgun getting his first opportunity to see second-year head coach Eric Musselman run a practice. The podcasting duo talk with the lone scholarship returner from last season as Terrance Williams II joins the show to talk about his road to recovery from a broken scaphoid -- a small boat-shaped bone located in the wrist -- suffered last year during a game at Oregon. Williams discusses the trials and tribulations he endured during his rehab for an injury he initially thought would only require a short recovery and allow him to get back on the court by the end of the 2024-25 season. Williams talks about his relationship with Musselman and how it led to him returning to USC despite the rest of the roster departing. He also discusses his role as a leader this season and what the 6-foot-7 wing has seen from this year's roster as he's slowly worked his way back onto the court, though he's still yet to be 100 percent cleared for full contact. After a break, Shotgun and Connor discuss what they've seen from a couple of recent practices since the Trojans have returned for training camp in the lead up to the 2025-26 season. They look at how the roster has developed since first being assembled and debate what the starting lineup could look like.

In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the world of peptide injections, with a focus on the controversial “Wolverine shot” (BPC-157). She explores what peptides are, why they're trending in gyms, wellness clinics, and med spas, and how they're marketed for muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging.Lindsey discusses the science (and lack thereof), FDA concerns, and potential risks like overdosing, contamination, and unregulated use. She closes by reminding listeners that while peptides are intriguing, true health and longevity still come from foundational practices—quality sleep, nutrition, strength training, and meaningful human connection. Listen in to learn more : 01:03 – Why People Use PeptidesClaimed benefits include lean muscle gain, faster recovery, testosterone support, fat loss, and anti-aging. However, the evidence base is thin.01:18 – BPC-157 and Other PeptidesBPC-157: derived from stomach peptides, believed to speed up tissue healing and reduce inflammation.Tesamorelin: studied for HIV-related fat reduction.Sermorelin: targeted for sleep and recovery.CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin: growth hormone–related stacks are popular among bodybuilders.02:28 – Lack of Scientific EvidenceMost data comes from animal studies or small trials, not significant human clinical research.03:55 – FDA ConcernsThe FDA flagged four peptides in 2022; that number jumped to 26 by the end of 2023, showing rapid regulatory scrutiny.04:42 – Anecdotal Use by Doctors and CEOsSome report success with peptides like BPC-157 for injuries, but even they acknowledge the lack of robust science.05:35 – Risks of Overuse and ContaminationOverdosing risks: especially when combining peptides with testosterone, leading to organ enlargement.Contamination/mislabeling: Many peptides sold are unregulated, increasing health risks.06:15 – Back to Basics for LongevityDespite the hype, proven health strategies remain the same: sleep, exercise, protein, reducing sugar, strength training, and social connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.

Have you ever wondered exactly how your mental health impacts physical pain—or found yourself unsure how to put that knowledge into practice? In this interview, Christie Uipi sits down with Dr. Justin Barker for a practical (and fun!) conversation about the core pillars of psychoanalytic healing and ways to actually use these principles in your recovery from chronic symptoms.

Text and Be HeardGrief drives many toward substances that temporarily numb overwhelming emotions, creating cycles difficult to break without proper support. In this revealing conversation with Joseph, a grief counselor with 14+ years of sobriety, we explore the profound connection between loss and addiction that shapes many recovery journeys.Joseph shares his personal story of losing his brother to cancer and father to suicide, explaining how these traumatic childhood losses created emotional patterns that later fueled his alcohol addiction. When he first discovered drinking at 16, it seemed like the only remedy for anxiety, depression, and social discomfort stemming from unprocessed grief. Yet as with many who use substances to cope with loss, the relief proved temporary while the underlying pain intensified.We challenge the common misconception that intelligence can overcome addiction. Despite Joseph's impressive academic background—from elite boarding school through Ivy League graduate studies—he discovered that "you cannot outthink an emotional issue." True recovery requires emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and community support rather than intellectual analysis. This revelation transformed his approach to relationships, parenting his 16-month-old son, and marriage.Throughout our discussion, we emphasize that grief itself isn't something to fear but a universal human experience requiring validation and support. The path forward involves progress rather than perfection, accountability rather than isolation, and recognizing that multiple emotions—even joy and sadness—can coexist during healing. Whether you're personally struggling with grief, supporting someone who is, or working on recovery, this conversation offers compassionate insights for navigating these profoundly human experiences.Have you found yourself using substances or behaviors to numb emotional pain?
