Jeremy Keil explains the top 3 tax efficient strategies for charitable giving in 2025. Most people give to charity because it's meaningful to them — not because of the tax break. And that's the right mindset. But if you're already giving, it makes sense to be intentional and structure that giving in a way that helps you keep more of your hard-earned money. In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through the top three charitable giving strategies for 2025, especially in light of new tax rules taking effect in 2026 and important changes already happening this year. With only a limited window left before year-end, now is the time to understand your options. The key is planning — not reacting in April. Why 2025 Is a Unique Giving Year Late in the year, you usually have a clear picture of your income and tax bracket. That makes it the perfect time to decide when and how to give. With upcoming changes like: A new 0.5% AGI floor on charitable deductions starting in 2026 A cap on the value of deductions for high earners A higher SALT deduction limit already in effect 2025 offers an opportunity to be proactive instead of passive. Depending on your income, it may make sense to pull future giving forward — or delay certain gifts until next year. But that decision should be made intentionally, not by default. Strategy #1: Bunch Your Charitable Deductions Bunching means combining multiple years of charitable giving into a single tax year to exceed the standard deduction and unlock itemized deductions. For example, if you normally give $10,000 per year to charity but don't itemize, you may get no tax benefit at all. But by contributing two to four years of giving in one year, you may be able to itemize and deduct the full amount. The most effective way to do this is through a donor-advised fund (DAF). A DAF lets you: Take the tax deduction now Give to charities later, on your preferred schedule Keep your giving consistent for the organizations you support This separates the timing of your tax deduction from the timing of your charitable gifts — a powerful planning tool when income fluctuates. Strategy #2: Donate Appreciated Investments Instead of Cash One of the most tax-efficient ways to give is donating long-term appreciated investments from a taxable brokerage account. When you sell an investment that has gone up in value, you owe capital gains tax. When you donate that same investment directly to charity (or to a donor-advised fund), you: Avoid paying capital gains tax Receive a charitable deduction for the full market value Remove a concentrated position from your portfolio This strategy is especially effective after strong market years like 2023, 2024, and 2025, when many investors are sitting on significant unrealized gains. To qualify, the investment must be held for more than one year (long-term capital gain). Many custodians automatically select the most tax-efficient shares when processing these donations, making the strategy easier to implement than most people expect. Strategy #3: Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) For those age 70½ or older, Qualified Charitable Distributions are often the most powerful giving strategy available. A QCD allows you to send money directly from your traditional IRA to a qualified charity. That money: Never shows up as taxable income Can satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (once applicable) Reduces future RMDs by shrinking your IRA balance Many retirees make the mistake of taking IRA withdrawals, depositing the money into checking, and then writing checks to charity. That approach often increases taxable income, affects Social Security taxation, and can raise Medicare premiums — even if a charitable deduction is available. QCDs avoid those issues entirely by keeping the income off your tax return in the first place. Even if you're not yet subject to RMDs, starting QCDs early can still make sense if part of your regular spending includes charitable giving. Putting It All Together These three strategies often work best in combination: Use donor-advised funds to bunch deductions Fund those DAFs with appreciated investments Use QCDs once you reach age 70½ But none of this should be done blindly. The right approach depends on: Your income this year and next Whether you itemize or take the standard deduction Your charitable goals Your long-term retirement and tax plan The most important step is projecting your tax situation before the year ends and making decisions on purpose — not by default.

The holidays are here… which means joy, cookies, twinkle lights, and—let's be honest—a whole lot of humans who can push our buttons. In this solo episode, Anne breaks down a powerful emotional-intelligence concept she calls “freezing people.” It's the unconscious habit of locking someone into one moment, one mistake, or one harmful comment… and then carrying that version of them forever.Using real-life stories, a little tough love, and her signature playful honesty, Anne explores how freezing people hurts us more than them, ramps up holiday stress, and blocks us from healthier communication and relationships. She shares a simple mindset shift that helps you see others as full, evolving humans—so you can walk into family gatherings (or LinkedIn encounters!) with more EQ, less dread, and a more grounded sense of self-awareness.Whether it's a colleague who once shut you down, a family member who offended you five years ago, or the cousin with that one unfortunate moment—we all freeze people. But we can unfreeze them… and unfreeze ourselves in the process.In this episode you'll learn:Why your brain “freezes” people—and how emotional intelligence helps you thaw the storyHow freezing impacts your stress, relationships, and ability to communicateA perspective-shift you can use before walking into holiday gatheringsHow to see people through multiple lenses (their child, their partner, their best friend… even their dog!)A simple EQ practice to create more ease, compassion, and resilience this seasonPerfect for you if……you want a calmer holiday, stronger relationships, or a little emotional-intelligence tune-up before Aunt Mildred brings up that thing again.Take a breath. Unfreeze a story. And dance through these holidays with just a little more grace and a whole lot less dread.
In this special episode of The EV Ready Podcast, hosts Justin Ries and John Gilbrook talk with Nick Trout from Sourcewell to explore how cooperative purchasing helps state and local governments, schools, and nonprofits streamline EV and energy management projects while cutting costs and reducing risk. How Cooperative Purchasing Accelerates EV Charging and Energy Management for Public Entities Using Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing model, public entities can bypass lengthy, resource‑intensive RFP processes and move faster on critical EV and energy management projects. By leveraging competitively solicited contracts like EVready's Sourcewell award, agencies gain access to pre-vetted vendors, transparent pricing, and contract terms that already meet procurement and compliance requirements. For state and local governments, school districts, and nonprofits, this structure: Reduces administrative burden Shortens procurement timelines Lowers the risk associated with selecting new EV and energy management partners Instead of writing their own complex solicitations, buyers can “piggyback” on Sourcewell's competitively bid contracts, allowing them to focus on planning and implementing EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification strategies that align with budget and sustainability goals

A new clinical analysis based on the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) found that older adults taking a daily cocoa extract supplement saw an 8.4% annual drop in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a key marker of chronic inflammation The supplement provided 500 milligrams of cocoa flavanols daily, including 80 milligrams of (-)-epicatechin, which is the same bioactive compound found naturally in cacao Researchers said this anti-inflammatory effect may help explain a 27% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality previously observed in the larger COSMOS trial Taking a cocoa flavanol supplement appears to support vascular and immune health by calming NF-κB signaling and improving endothelial function Unlike dark chocolate, standardized cocoa extract supplements are free of sugar and fat, delivering clinically studied doses in capsule form
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Texas to move forward with a contested congressional map that civil rights groups say weakens Black and Latino voting power. The stay in Abbott v. LULAC lets the state use its newly drawn districts while the case proceeds. Critics — including members of the Congressional Black Caucus — say the ruling greenlights racial gerrymandering ahead of the 2026 midterms.

In this Clinician's Corner episode, Clarissa and Molly dive into what they lovingly (and accurately) call the "Hella-Days"—that stretch from early fall through New Year's where routines disappear, food is everywhere, emotions are high, and nervous systems are fried. Together, they unpack why this season is so activating for people with food addiction and nervous system sensitivity, and how to navigate it with values, boundaries, and a whole lot of self-compassion—whether you're surrounded by family or spending the holidays on your own. In This Episode Clarissa & Molly explore: Why the holidays can feel like the "Holiday Hunger Games" and "12 Days of Dysregulation" How the nervous system responds to the build-up from September to New Year's Using values as your North Star for holiday decisions Boundary tools and scripts for parties, family gatherings, and food pushers Why holiday food environments are an "engineered stressor" (hello, peppermint-everything marketing) Strategies for: Going to events without abandoning your recovery Deciding when not to go Coping with loneliness, isolation, and dark evenings Harm reduction during high-exposure events ("good, better, best" thinking) How to re-imagine your holiday story over time instead of chasing perfection Ideas for folks who love the holidays (Clarissmas) and folks who… don't (Molly

On this Thanksgiving week 2025 and episode 304 of Take Flight Weekly, I revisit one of the most powerful performance basics in my playbook: gratitude. Not the soft version. The real thing. The kind that rewires your brain and anchors you when life is chaotic. I'll walk you through my personal affirmation that starts with "I am so happy and grateful," unpack why I built it the way I did, and connect it to what the science of gratitude is proving right now. Then we'll get tactical with a simple, elite-level gratitude strategy you can execute in five minutes a day. In Q4 2010, I was under real financial pressure. The business was hard, the numbers were tight, and I realized I had zero chance of winning if I didn't get control of what was happening between my ears. My goal was simple: Keep my emotional frequency at 51 percent or higher. Slightly more optimistic than pessimistic. Around that time, I was studying Bob Proctor and John Assaraf. They made one point that landed hard: Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account. So I wrote my own affirmation, and I've now said it tens of thousands of times. Meta-analyses of gratitude interventions show consistent gains in life satisfaction and mental health. Neuroscience work shows that gratitude practices light up reward and regulation centers in the brain. It's not just a "nice idea" anymore. It's a proven performance tool. The Anatomy of My Affirmation → "I AM" – The two most powerful words. Your subconscious accepts whatever follows. → "So happy and grateful" – Happiness and gratitude are inputs, not trophies. They're a frequency you decide to live in. → "That money, success, and introductions" – Gratitude keeps you focused on opportunities you already have. → "Flow to me" – The kind of flow that shows up when your mindset, actions, and relationships are aligned. → "In ever increasing quantities from a myriad of different sources" – Gratitude is a flywheel that compounds over time. → "For the betterment of all those involved" – I never wanted success that only worked for me. → "My life is perfect" – I choose to see my current reality as raw material, not punishment. → "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" – Pure 1% better math. What the Science Says → Gratitude improves mental health – Reduces anxiety and depression → Gratitude changes the brain – Activates reward and regulation regions → Gratitude improves physical health and sleep → Gratitude strengthens relationships → Structured gratitude tools work in as little as 6-10 sessions Three Gratitude Habits for Advisors → The 60-Second Morning Affirmation Before you touch your phone, stand up, breathe deeply, and say your affirmation. Say it like you mean it. → The Weekly Gratitude Text or Voice Memo Once a week, send one client, mentor, or team member a note saying specifically why you appreciate them. No pitch. Pure appreciation. → Gratitude Reset in Real Time When anxiety spikes, stop for thirty seconds. Name three things you're grateful for in that exact moment. Use gratitude as a pattern interrupt. I coach to happy and grateful results, not production. Production is a lagging indicator. Execution of being grateful is a leading indicator. When you're grounded, happy, and genuinely grateful, your business expands with less friction. That's not woo-woo. That's strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, we take a deep dive into statins, their true benefits, their real risks, and the massive role lifestyle plays in shaping heart disease outcomes. Rather than accepting oversimplified medical advice, this episode empowers you to think critically, understand uncertainty in medicine, and make fully informed decisions about your own health. You'll learn how to interpret risk statistics (like relative vs absolute risk), why lifestyle may outperform medication for many people, and why statins are helpful for some—yet potentially unnecessary or harmful for others. If you've ever been told "your cholesterol is high, you need a statin," this episode will give you the tools to ask better questions and understand whether that advice truly applies to someone like you. Key Takeaways: -Medical uncertainty is real — many "facts" are actually opinions without solid or applicable evidence. -Statins help some people more than others: -Strong evidence for people who already had a heart attack. -Much smaller benefit (sometimes minimal) for healthy, active people without prior heart disease. -Absolute vs. relative risk matters: -A "25% reduction in risk" may really mean only 1 fewer event per 100 people. -Lifestyle changes can reduce risk by 50–80%, often outperforming statin benefits—especially for people who exercise, eat whole foods, avoid smoking, keep weight down, and drink moderately. -Statin risks are real: Muscle pain: up to 1 in 10 Diabetes risk increased: about 1 in 200 Possible cognitive impairment (enough for an FDA warning) Polypharmacy (multiple medications) increases uncertainty and side-effect risks.

20201 Vital Plan & Coffee for Heart Health Podcast | Dare To Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Vitamin D Dramatically Reduces Heart Attack RiskNew American Heart Association data shows that maintaining vitamin D levels >40 ng/mL for ~4 years cuts recurrent heart attack risk by 52%. Most participants required 5,000 IU/day—far above the current FDA recommendation—to reach optimal levels, making vitamin D testing and personalized supplementation a critical and cost-effective intervention.2. Structured Exercise Improves Cancer SurvivalA large randomized trial in colorectal cancer patients found 90% survival with structured exercise vs. 83% with health education alone (a 42% relative reduction in mortality). Supervised and behaviorally supported exercise—not just information—is required to produce this survival advantage.3. Exercise Should Be Prescribed as Medicine for Cancer PatientsThe transcript highlights mechanisms—myokines, reduced inflammation, better fitness, and increased natural killer cell activity—that explain why exercise reduces cancer mortality. Recommendation: oncologists should prescribe personalized strength and fitness programs as part of cancer care.4. Exercise Is One of the Most Powerful Sleep OptimizersA study of 380 medical students showed:* Low physical activity = poor sleep quality* Being overweight or stressed worsens sleep* Strength training is the most effective exercise modality for improving sleep.The message: Use movement—especially strength training—to break the “doom loop” of poor sleep and inactivity.5. Vitality Is a Skill: Small Daily Choices CompoundThe episode reinforces two overarching themes:* Vitality is a skill you can learn, practice, and improve.* Vitality powers performance—especially through the synergy of exercise, sleep, vitamin D, strength, and connection.The weekly action: Get your vitamin D level checked and optimize it with guidance from your doctor.Copyright VyVerse LLC, All Rights Reserved This is a public episode.

Wisdom AI sells to enterprise data teams, empowering them to deploy AI data analysts that automate analytics functions traditionally handled by human analysts. As a former Rubrik co-founder and Google search ranking engineer, Soham identified the analytics problem firsthand while scaling Rubrik from intuition-driven to data-driven operations. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Soham shares how four Rubrik alumni are building a category-defining solution in the data analytics space, the tactical insights from targeting mid-market accounts to optimize deal velocity and onboarding experience, and how AI buying committees shifted from experimental budgets in 2024 to gatekeepers requiring departmental champions in 2025. Topics Discussed: Leveraging mid-market focus to compress sales cycles while refining onboarding as core product differentiation The transition from gut-based decisions to data-driven operations and why analytics remains unsolved Taming LLMs for precision and explainability requirements in enterprise analytics contexts Strategic navigation of the data ecosystem following the FiveTran-DBT merger and positioning against Snowflake, Databricks, and cloud providers Overlaying product-led trial motions on enterprise sales to maintain momentum during extended procurement cycles AI committee evolution from 2024's experimental phase to 2025's security-focused consolidation mandate Pursuing 10x productivity gains versus incremental improvement in established analytics markets GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Use mid-market to build onboarding velocity as moat: Rubrik deliberately targeted mid-market accounts despite being an enterprise product that closed eight-figure deals. This served two strategic purposes: compressed sales cycles enabled faster learning loops, and the necessity of quick onboarding forced the team to build exceptional admin experiences that became their primary differentiation. For B2B founders, mid-market isn't just easier logos—it's a forcing function for product refinement that creates competitive advantages when moving upmarket. Find problems through operational scar tissue, not market research: Wisdom AI originated when Soham tried moonlighting as engineering's data analyst during Rubrik's scaling phase and discovered he couldn't do it effectively. This wasn't a customer interview insight—it was firsthand recognition that even sophisticated technical leaders with dedicated focus couldn't wrangle data for operational decisions. The problem proved ubiquitous across every business leader optimizing top line, bottom line, and operations. B2B founders building for enterprises should prioritize pain points they've personally hit in operational contexts where existing solutions demonstrably failed them. Engineer time-to-value in minutes for PLG overlay on enterprise sales: Wisdom AI's experiential quality—users get excited when they try it, not when they see slides—creates PLG opportunity despite enterprise positioning. The critical difference: sales-led motions tolerate weeks to first value and build confidence through process, but self-serve requires hook-to-value in minutes with zero support. Soham's insight is using PLG not for credit card swipes but to maintain champion enthusiasm during lengthy procurement processes. B2B founders should architect trial experiences that deliver standalone value pre-data connection, creating internal advocates who sustain momentum through AI committee reviews. Treat ecosystem navigation as first-class GTM workstream: Wisdom AI's success depends on partnership execution with Snowflake, Databricks, and cloud providers—all potential competitors with their own AI initiatives. The FiveTran-DBT merger created immediate dynamic shifts requiring repositioning. Rather than viewing partnerships as business development, Soham frames ecosystem navigation as core GTM infrastructure requiring dedicated strategy and repeatable playbooks. B2B founders in platform-adjacent spaces should staff for partnership complexity early, recognizing that integration points and co-selling motions often determine market access more than direct sales capacity. Architect for AI committee gatekeepers with departmental executive sponsorship: The market fundamentally shifted from mid-2024's "experimental AI budgets, try everything" to 2025's centralized AI committees focused on security, tool consolidation, and preventing organizational wild west scenarios. Soham's tactical response: secure champions owning specific important departments who can navigate approval hierarchies while trial experiences maintain grassroots excitement. The implication for B2B AI founders—assumption of longer cycles, security scrutiny as table stakes, and explicit strategies for climbing from individual enthusiast to organizational deployment become non-negotiable enterprise sales requirements. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Special Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. In South Africa's fight against rhino poaching, data—not emotion—drives progress. Conservation researchers Dr. Timothy Kuiper and Lucy Chimes share the results of their multi-reserve study on what actually reduces poaching. From aerial patrols, drones, and canine units to the controversial dehorning strategy, they discuss what works, what doesn't, and why context matters. The evidence shows dehorning can significantly reduce poaching—but only when combined with strong security, community partnerships, and demand-side solutions. A rigorous, evidence-based look at how science is shaping the next chapter of rhino conservation.

Gratitude and anxiety cannot coexist. It is a scientific fact that gratitude reduces anxiety. From a physiological and neuroscience perspective, the brain can't experience both anxiety and gratitude simultaneously. The benefits of a gratitude practice can be profoundly impactful. How does gratitude reduce Anxiety? Gratitude reduces anxiety by shifting us from a state of negative thinking to a more positive one. Additionally, the benefits of a gratitude practice include the release of positive hormones in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. When Serotonin and Dopamine are released, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are reduced. In an article on Research.com, researchers shared 35 scientific benefits of practicing gratitude. The benefits are physiological and psychological. Gratitude can help improve sleep, reduce blood pressure, and prevent overeating. It can also stimulate your immune system, motivate you to exercise more, improve your patience, and help you feel more confident. Additionally, it can reduce envy or jealousy, increase optimism, and make you more forgiving. And the list goes on. Gratitude is powerful. How gratitude and the brain work together. Gratitude evokes positive thinking, thereby fostering cognitive restructuring. Cognitive restructuring is a therapeutic process that involves reshaping negative, potentially detrimental thoughts into more positive and effective ones. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form and reorganize new neural connections, thereby altering its neural wiring and firing patterns. Both are powerful tools for managing anxiety and dysfunctional thought patterns. Why do you need to start a gratitude practice? There are many benefits of gratitude. Gratitude shifts your perspective to what is going well, rather than focusing on what could go wrong. You can think of gratitude as a natural antidepressant because it releases dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—positive neurochemicals in the brain. Read the full show notes and access all links.

This episode was created in collaboration with, and first posted on, The Itch podcast. Mucus plugging is a challenge in asthma care. It's thick, sticky mucus that blocks the airways and doesn't respond to regular inhalers. Even when inflammation improves, these plugs can lower lung function, limit how well medicine works, and make asthma harder to control. In this episode, The Itch breaks down the study: “Effect of Dupilumab on Mucus Burden in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma,” published Oct. 28, 2025. The analysis looks at whether dupilumab (Dupixent), a biologic that blocks IL-4 and IL-13, can lower mucus burden and improve lung function, especially in people who start with a high “mucus plug score.” Read the paper: https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.202410-1894OC

How dupilumab may help: Learn how this biologic blocks IL-4 and IL-13, two key drivers of type 2 inflammation that increase mucus production and thickness. Inside the VESTIGE study: Hear how researchers measured mucus burden using CT scans and “mucus plug scores” to see if dupilumab could reduce plugging in moderate-to-severe asthma. What the results showed: Find out how dupilumab lowered mucus plug scores, reduced airway inflammation, and improved lung function (FEV₁), especially in people with high mucus burden. What this means for patients: Learn why identifying and treating mucus plugging may help improve breathing, reduce flare-ups, and make asthma easier to manage day to day.

The NICU can range from having just a couple of extra staff in the delivery room to having 15 people if a baby needs help, making the birth experience much more intense and involved. Planning ahead with your partner about who will go with the baby in case of separation can help make a stressful situation a little easier. About 10% of babies need some help breathing at birth, but most recover quickly; only a small percentage require NICU care beyond the basic interventions. NICUs are graded by levels (I-IV), and knowing what level your hospital offers can help families prepare—higher-level NICUs can treat more complex issues but aren't always necessary for uncomplicated births. If your hospital isn't a level III or IV, babies needing higher-level care may need to be transferred, which could mean temporary separation from parents; hospitals always work to reunite families as quickly as possible. NICU nurses are passionate, skilled, and deeply care about the babies and their families, creating a loving and safe environment even during stressful times. Parents can support their recovery and milk production by getting rest and using NICU technologies (like webcams) to stay connected—it's okay to take breaks and trust the NICU staff. Emerging technologies like Labry's Life Bubble are making NICU stays safer and more comfortable, allowing parents to hold their babies even when special catheters are in place. Skin-to-skin contact in the NICU is highly beneficial for both babies and parents, helping with bonding, milk production, and even neurodevelopment; parents are encouraged to ask staff about timing and any concerns about wires or tubes.

Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/6jLhl8Zaznw?si=jaBuMbIWQApYpeEv Why does starting your day with protein reduce anxiety for the rest of the day? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Sal Di Stefano joins me to break down the science of blood sugar control, why intermittent fasting is "a terrible way to lose weight," and the shocking truth about cardio versus strength training for fat loss. We also unpack the biggest mistake women make when tracking progress: obsessing over the scale instead of body composition. Sal explains why 40% of weight lost through cardio comes from muscle, shares a study where strength training alone beat cardio AND strength training combined for fat loss, and reveals why psychologists now prescribe high-protein breakfasts to anxious patients. Sal Di Stefano is a fitness expert with over 20 years of personal training experience and co-host of the Mind Pump podcast, one of the top-rated fitness shows in the world. What we discuss: How protein at breakfast controls blood sugar and reduces anxiety throughout the day The two-question filter for any fitness advice: "Will I do it?" and "Is it realistic?" Intermittent fasting's original purpose and why it fails for weight loss Cortisol addiction and the binge-restrict cycle fasting creates When cold plunges hurt more than help for overstressed people Cardio vs strength training: why 40% of cardio weight loss comes from muscle The study where strength training alone beat cardio for fat loss Ditching the scale: better metrics for tracking body transformation Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

Cardiovascular disease kills nearly 18 million people worldwide each year, but natural compounds like naringin in citrus fruits are showing strong protection for arteries and heart health Naringin blocks ferroptosis, a deadly form of heart cell death during heart attacks, while silencing inflammation alarms to protect cardiac muscle under stress Human trials show naringin improves cholesterol profiles, reduces arterial stiffness, and enhances overall cardiometabolic health within just 90 days of consistent intake from citrus sources Beyond the heart, citrus flavonoids improve insulin sensitivity, lower harmful cholesterol, reduce belly fat, and stabilize blood sugar, offering metabolic benefits against obesity and diabetes Naringin also protects the liver from drug-induced damage and slows tumor growth in cancers like breast, lung, and colon by restoring cell self-destruction and cutting tumor blood supply
