Estrogen gets blamed for a lot, but is it really the villain?  Debbie breaks down what estrogen actually does, why its fluctuation, not just its level, affects your pain threshold, why perimenopause is often the hardest stretch, and what postmenopause changes.  Plus, the honest limits of relying on a single blood test to explain your migraines. In this episode:  What estrogen actually does in the body beyond reproduction. Why perimenopause fluctuation hits pain thresholds harder than postmenopausal levels.  The liver's role in clearing hormone waste, and what happens when that process breaks down.  Why bloodwork has value but isn't the whole picture.

**This episode is general information only and is not medical advice. If any of it applies to you, please talk it through with your own GP or psychiatrist**Have you ever walked out of a psychiatrist's office more confused than when you walked in? Not sure what just happened, whether you got a diagnosis, what you were supposed to ask, or whether the thing you were terrified of — coming across like you were just there for the stimulants — is exactly what you did. For a lot of women getting an ADHD assessment at 40, the appointment itself is the black box. Nobody tells you the order to see a GP, psychologist and psychiatrist in, what happens if your school reports are gone and your parents have died, why they start you on one medication and not another, or what a drug holiday actually is.So this week Jane sat a psychiatrist down and asked him to open the box. Dr Brendan Daugherty walks through the whole thing — the pathway, the assessment, how they choose your first medication, and the one thing that makes these appointments go better.

In this episode Andrea Samadi explores Phase Three of the Brain's Operating System — how movement acts as the essential input that activates the brain, sharpens attention, boosts learning, and improves social and emotional readiness. Drawing on Dr. John Ratey's insights and related neuroscience research, she explains the chain reaction from exercise to brain activation, learning, and adaptation. The episode also emphasizes the vital role of recovery in consolidating gains so movement leads to lasting performance improvements, and invites listeners to adopt movement as a daily catalyst for clearer thinking, better learning, and greater resilience. Dr. John Ratey and The Movement Loop On this episode 404, we will: Explore where Dr. John Ratey's groundbreaking research fits within the Movement Loop. Understand how movement activates the brain and prepares us to learn. Discover why attention is the gateway to learning and performance. Connect Dr. Ratey's work with Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Medina, Kristen Holmes, and Jason Whitrock to see the bigger picture. Learn how movement becomes lasting human performance by building our capacity over time. How Movement Becomes Human Performance Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. If you've been following along through Season 16, you'll know we've been building what I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework that explains how movement, recovery, and adaptation work together to improve our health, learning, leadership, and performance. Over the past seven years and more than 400 episodes, I've had the privilege of interviewing neuroscientists, physicians, psychologists, educators, and high performers from around the world. As I looked across those conversations, I realized they weren't isolated ideas—they were pieces of a much larger system. I've organized that system into five interconnected phases that mirror how we grow and develop throughout life. And as we work through each of these phases, we are sharpening our saw for productivity, learning and high performance, really, with the brain and body in mind. Phase 1 is Regulation and Safety, we launched on EP 384[i] with Dr. Baland Jalal on Sleep, Safety and Curiosity. This phase is where we build the foundation by understanding the nervous system, stress, emotions, and the importance of creating internal and external safety before learning or productivity can take place. Phase 2 is Neurochemistry and Motivation, where we explore how dopamine, reward, purpose, and emotional regulation influence our choices, habits, and sustained effort. Today, we're in Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition. This is where movement becomes the catalyst that prepares the brain to pay attention, learn, adapt, and ultimately perform at a higher level. In Phase 4, we'll discover how perception and social intelligence shape the way we understand ourselves, communicate, build trust, and strengthen relationships. And finally, in Phase 5, we'll bring everything together through integration and meaning—understanding how our experiences become wisdom, resilience, purpose, and lifelong growth. Each phase builds on the one before it, because meaningful human performance isn't created in a single breakthrough—it's built one system at a time. Together, they create what I believe is the brain's operating system for human performance. If we want to improve the entire big picture of our results, we can dive deeper into these 5 phases to see what areas we could sharpen a bit. I've put the individual episodes of each phase in the show notes for a deeper dive. Today's episode is one of those foundational pieces of Phase 3. Because before we can improve performance, we first need to understand how movement changes the brain. In Episode 402[ii], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input—it's what we do. Recovery enables adaptation—it's how the brain and body grow stronger. Performance is the outcome—the results we can see, feel, and measure. Every cycle expands our capacity to learn, lead, and perform. Every movement we make sends a signal to the brain and body. That signal activates the brain— increasing blood flow, neurotransmitters, and neuroplasticity—preparing us to pay attention and learn. When movement is followed by adequate recovery, the brain and body adapt. Those adaptations become the foundation for better performance—whether that's learning more effectively, thinking more clearly, leading with greater confidence, or improving our physical health. Then, in Episode 403[iii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. We learned that every step increases blood flow, stimulates the release of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF, often called fertilizer for the brain—and prepares the neural networks responsible for attention, learning, memory, and executive function. But understanding why movement changes the brain is only part of the story. Today's episode answers a different question: What does that actually look like in real life? How does movement change our brain? To answer that question, we're returning to one of my favorite interviews from March of 2021 with Harvard psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. John Ratey, whose groundbreaking book Spark helped change the way millions of people think about exercise and the brain. Now, you might be wondering... "Andrea, didn't we already review Dr. Ratey's work in Episodes 375[iv] and 376[v]?" We did. But today isn't simply another review. Today we're looking at Dr. Ratey's work through an entirely new lens. When we first interviewed Dr. Ratey in 2021, I knew movement was important. But after spending the past several years interviewing experts like Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Medina, Dr. Kristen Holmes, Jason Whitrock, and hundreds of others—and measuring my own health and performance data that we'll explore throughout this season's bonus episodes—I now understand exactly where Dr. Ratey's research fits inside the Movement Loop. As I looked across all of those conversations, I realized they weren't isolated ideas. They were pieces of one much larger system. Today we're in Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition—the phase where movement becomes the catalyst for attention, learning, adaptation, and ultimately, human performance. In the coming phases, we'll discover how perception shapes our relationships, and finally how everything integrates into meaning, purpose, and lifelong growth. Today's conversation with Dr. Ratey is one of the foundational building blocks of Phase 3. Why This Matters If you've listened to this podcast for a while, you've probably heard me talk about movement as one of the few true non-negotiables in my day. Before my workday begins, I've already made time to move—not because I'm training for a race or trying to burn calories, but because I know how profoundly movement changes the way my brain performs. The research is clear. Movement prepares the brain to pay attention, learn more effectively, regulate emotions, solve problems, and perform at a higher level. I've experienced these benefits firsthand. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, I'm more productive, and I'm better equipped to handle whatever challenges the day brings. And I imagine many of you listening have experienced the same thing. Once you begin noticing how movement changes your thinking, it becomes much easier to make it a consistent part of your life. Why This Season Exists That's why my hope for Season 16 isn't simply to convince you that exercise is good for you. My goal is much bigger than that. It's to demonstrate why movement is the first step in The movement loop—and to show how every movement you make begins a chain reaction that improves learning, health, leadership, and performance. With every cycle, we don't just improve today's performance. We expand our capacity for tomorrow. As we continue exploring the Movement Loop, I hope you'll begin to see movement differently—not as another item on your to-do list, but as the input that starts an entire system of growth. Because movement isn't the goal. Movement is the beginning of everything that follows. CLIP 1: Movement Primes the Brain for Learning CLIP 1: Social Connection Reflection: Where This Fits in the Movement Loop Let's review Clip 1 with Dr. Ratey. When we listen to his clip through that lens, every sentence he shares fits into a specific step of the process. Reviewing Dr. Ratey, through the lens of The Movement Loop. Step 1: Movement — The Input Everything begins with movement. Movement is the signal we send to the brain and body that says: "It's time to wake up. It's time to adapt." Without movement, nothing else in the loop begins. As Dr. Ratey says, movement is what "turns on the thinking parts of the brain." Step 2: Brain Activation — The Brain Wakes Up This is exactly what we learned from Dr. Chuck Hillman in Episode 403[vi]. Movement immediately increases blood flow to the brain. It activates neurotransmitters. It stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping create the ideal environment for learning. Dr. Hillman explained what is happening biologically. Dr. Ratey in this clip explains what we experience. You suddenly feel more alert. More awake. More ready to think. These are two perspectives describing the same process. Step 3: Attention — The Gateway to Learning This is where Dr. Ratey's words become especially powerful. He says movement helps us: stay with an idea, focus longer, evaluate information, scan our memory, and even simply stay seated long enough to think through something difficult. That isn't just better concentration. That's improved attention, and attention is the gateway to learning. Without attention, very little learning takes place. Movement prepares the brain to pay attention. At this point in the interview, he was referencing the fact that I had told him that I couldn't write podcast episodes on this topic without moving my body first. In the early days of this podcast, I found the science very difficult to understand. A couple of times I did think that this topic was over my head, and almost considered giving up. Almost, but very grateful for where the learning took me that I stuck it through. Step 4: Learning — Building New Neural Connections Once attention improves, learning becomes possible. Now the brain can: process information, make connections, strengthen memories, and solve problems more effectively. This is why Dr. Ratey says movement helps us become better learners, better thinkers, better workers, and better students. Movement isn't improving muscles first. It's improving the brain's ability to learn. Step 5: Social and Emotional Readiness One part of this interview that has become even more meaningful over time is Dr. Ratey's explanation of social connection. Exercise doesn't only improve cognition. It also changes our emotional state. We're more motivated. We regulate our emotions more effectively. We become more socially connected. Dr. Ratey explains that movement increases oxytocin—the hormone associated with bonding and trust—making us more open to connecting with others. That's important because learning has always been social. Whether we're in a classroom, at work, or with our families, our ability to connect with other people influences how well we learn, communicate, and perform. Movement prepares us socially as well as cognitively. Step 6: Recovery and Adaptation — Where Lasting Change Happens Now here's the part I didn't fully appreciate back in 2021. Everything Dr. Ratey has described prepares the brain for learning. But those immediate benefits only become lasting improvements if they're followed by recovery. Recovery is when the brain consolidates learning. It's when new neural connections are strengthened. It's when adaptation occurs. This is where Kristen Holmes' work on recovery fits perfectly into the Movement Loop. We recently reviewed our 2021 interview with Kristen Holmes on EP 390[vii] “What Gets Measured Improves: Sleep, Recovery and Strain” and it was Dr. Holmes who was (not the first person to notice I could improve my recovery scores) but was stern enough with me about how important that it was, and how I was leaving a lot off the table by not getting enough sleep/recovery to match the strain I was pushing towards each day. Movement starts the process. Recovery completes it. And together (this won't happen if one is missing) they create adaptation—the biological changes that make us stronger, healthier, and more resilient over time. The Big Takeaway When I first interviewed Dr. John Ratey in 2021, I thought he was teaching us why exercise is good for the brain. Today, after years of interviewing neuroscientists, physicians, performance experts, and educators, I see something much bigger. Dr. Ratey wasn't simply describing the benefits of exercise. He was describing the beginning of a biological process. Movement is the input. Movement activates the brain. The activated brain becomes ready to focus, learn, regulate emotions, and connect with others. Learning, when supported by recovery, leads to adaptation. Adaptation creates better performance. And every time we move through that cycle, we expand our capacity to meet tomorrow's challenges. That's the Movement Loop. It's not just a framework for understanding exercise. It's a framework for understanding how the brain changes, how we grow, and how human performance is built—one movement at a time. Review and Conclusion: The Movement Loop and Dr. Ratey To review and conclude what we've learned today. Dr. Ratey's interview wasn't simply about why exercise is good for the brain. It was about how movement begins a chain reaction that changes the way we learn, think, and perform. We discovered that: Movement is the input. Every movement sends a signal to the brain and body that it's time to change. Movement activates the brain. Blood flow increases. Neurotransmitters increase. BDNF begins preparing the brain for learning. The activated brain becomes ready. Attention improves. Executive function sharpens. Emotions become easier to regulate. We're even more prepared to connect with other people. That readiness makes learning possible. New neural pathways begin to form. The brain starts building stronger and more efficient networks. But learning doesn't end when the workout ends. Recovery allows the brain to consolidate what movement started. Recovery creates adaptation. Adaptation creates better performance. And every time we complete that cycle, we expand our capacity for whatever challenge comes next. That's the Movement Loop. This is something I've learned through years of interviewing experts, but also through measuring my own health and performance. The days I move first are always the days I think more clearly. I'm more creative with what I write as well as making connections that are important to me in my day to day life. More productive- with the entire day (family and work). More patient (with my kids and family) More present and clear. Movement doesn't solve every problem. But it prepares us to solve problems better, and increases our capacity and productivity. And that's a lesson I'll keep coming back to throughout this season. Coming Next… But there's still one important question we haven't answered. If movement activates the brain... why do some people consistently improve --while others seem to work just as hard without seeing the same results? Is it genetics? Motivation? Discipline? Or is there something happening between today's effort and tomorrow's performance? Next week, in Bonus Episode 2, we'll answer that question. We'll explore what I call The Predictable Performance System and look at years of my own recovery data to understand why recovery isn't simply the opposite of training—it's the bridge between today's habits and tomorrow's performance. Because the difference between predictable and unpredictable results... isn't luck. It's recovery. It's how we are balancing how much we push with how much we are able to rest/recover. Until next time... Keep moving. Protect your recovery. Build your capacity. And continue designing your brain's operating system for lifelong learning, health, leadership, and human performance. Thanks for joining me. I'll see you next week.

Everything begins with regulation. Before we can focus, learn, lead, or perform, the brain first asks one fundamental question: Am I safe? Throughout Phase 1, our guests showed us that regulation isn't simply about reducing stress—it's about creating the biological conditions that allow the brain to learn, adapt, and thrive. Together we explored: Baland Jalal – how sleep, curiosity, imagination, and creativity prepare the brain for learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/hypnagogic-genius-capture-your-best-ideas-at-the-edge-of-sleep/ Dr. Bruce Perry – why regulation, rhythm, and relationships form the foundation of every healthy nervous system.  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/safety-first-why-a-regulated-brain-is-the-key-to-learning/ Dr. Sui Wong – how lifestyle medicine and autonomic balance build lifelong brain resilience. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/your-eyes-the-brain-s-early-warning-system/ Rohan Dixit – how heart rate variability gives us real-time feedback on our ability to regulate stress. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/breathe-to-reset-how-hrv-tech-reveals-hidden-stress/ Dr. Kristen Holmes – how recovery metrics reveal our physiological readiness to perform. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/kristen-holmes-from-whoopcom-on-unlocking-a-better-you-measuring-sleep-recovery-and-strain/ Dr. Antonio Zadra – how sleep and dreaming consolidate memories, regulate emotions, and generate insight. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/when-brains-dream-how-sleep-integrates-emotion-insight-and-creativity/ Together these conversations taught us that sleep and stress regulation aren't optional—they're the operating system that allows every higher brain function to work. Phase 2: Motivation & Neurochemistry The Direction Core Question: What moves us into action? Once the brain feels safe, it becomes ready to pursue goals. In Phase 2, we explored the internal chemistry that transforms intention into action. Our experts helped us understand that sustainable motivation isn't about willpower—it's about aligning our beliefs, thoughts, attention, energy, and movement. Together we discovered: Bob Proctor — our beliefs determine the direction of our lives. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/belief-first-the-neuroscience-of-motivation/ Dr. Carolyn Leaf — our thinking literally changes our brain chemistry. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/thoughts-as-biology-how-your-mind-shapes-neurochemistry/ Dr. John Medina — attention determines what the brain encodes and remembers. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/theory-of-mind-the-missing-link-between-attention-reward-and-motivation Dr. Anna Lembke- Dopamine, Motivation and Why the Brain Repeats Behavior https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dopamine-nation-the-pleasure%e2%80%93pain-balance-that-drives-motivation/ Dr. Friederike Fabritius — managing our energy allows high performance to become sustainable. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/fun-fear-focus-closing-the-motivation-loop/ Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — movement activates the brain, preparing it to learn. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/move-to-learn-how-movement-activates-the-brain-and-fuels-motivation/ By the end of Phase 2, we introduced what became The Motivation Loop, showing how beliefs influence thoughts, thoughts influence actions, actions create results, and results reinforce future beliefs. Phase 3: Movement, Learning & Human Performance The Transformation Core Question: How does movement change the brain—and how does recovery transform that change into performance? Now we're taking the next step. Phase 3 builds on everything we've learned so far. If Phase 1 created a regulated nervous system... If Phase 2 created motivation and direction... Phase 3 explains how the brain and body actually become stronger. Together we've explored this process through conversations with: Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski — why movement activates the brain before learning. https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/ Dr. John Ratey — how exercise builds a healthier, younger brain. Dr. Kristen Holmes — why recovery determines adaptation and readiness. Dr. John Medina — how attention transforms movement into lasting learning. Jason Whitrock — how metabolism and cellular energy fuel long-term performance. WHERE WE ARE GOING NEXT Phase 4 — Connection, Emotion & Social Intelligence The Human System Core Question: How do we thrive with other people? The brain didn't evolve in isolation—it evolved through relationships. In Phase 4, we'll explore emotional intelligence, empathy, communication, trust, leadership, and psychological safety to understand how our relationships shape learning, well-being, and performance. Phase 5 — Integration & Human Performance The Complete System Core Question: How do all the systems work together? In our final phase, we'll bring everything together—regulation, motivation, movement, emotion, relationships, learning, and recovery—into one integrated framework. We'll discover how these systems work together to create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results.

In this video I talk about the scary statistics revolving around men's health. I begin by looking at a resource looking at Canadian men and then shift over to an article focused on America. It is so important to recognize the complexity of such a topic: the psychological, cultural and social influences need to be considered. Often in the media we hear one singular cause- "men need to try harder, do better and step up." I highlight how this claim is at best incomplete, and at worst flat out damaging and invalidating.

Some of the greatest American heroes are people most of us have never heard of. In today's episode, Ryan talks with retired Brigadier General and military historian Ty Seidule about five remarkable Americans whose stories embody courage, sacrifice, service, and leadership. They also talk about why the people we choose to honor matter, what the renaming of military bases reveals about American history, and why telling the truth about the past does not mean giving up on greatness.Ty Seidule served in the U.S. Army for more than three decades, retiring as a brigadier general in 2020. He is a professor emeritus of history at West Point and served as vice chair of the Congressional Naming Commission, which was tasked with renaming Department of Defense assets that honored Confederates.Ty Seidule is the author of A Promise Delivered: Ten American Heroes and the Battle to Rename Our Nation's Military Bases and Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause.

By Doug Green “Under pressure, communications become a lot more predictable.” What can the language used by World Cup coaches teach businesses about artificial intelligence, customer engagement and human behavior? In this Technology Reseller News and Cloud Communications Alliance podcast, Sophie Cheng, Chief Marketing Officer at Sinch, discusses the company's xC — Expected Cliché — Tracker and what it revealed about how leaders communicate when the stakes rise. Sinch analyzed coaches' press conferences across six languages, comparing their comments against a dictionary of 205 familiar soccer expressions. AI identified recurring patterns, while Sinch's editorial teams reviewed the results to account for cultural context, nuance and meaning. The findings showed a clear shift as tournament pressure increased. Sinch found 50% more clichés after the group stage, with coaches moving away from tactical explanations and toward familiar expressions involving “heart,” “belief” and “togetherness.” References to mentality, spirit and courage rose from 8% of clichés during the group stage to 24% during the Round of 16. “When you're in a very high-stakes environment, people are watching your every word,” Cheng says. “It becomes easier and more familiar to refer back to clichés or standard terminology that we're all used to.” Those phrases may sound repetitive, but they can also give leaders a safe and recognizable way to communicate during emotional or uncertain moments. The broader lesson extends well beyond sports. Organizations generate enormous volumes of conversational data through contact centers, email, messaging and voice interactions. AI-powered language analysis can help identify changing sentiment, recurring concerns and communication patterns that might otherwise be missed. For service providers, partners and enterprises, the opportunity is to combine the speed of AI with human context and judgment. Listen to the podcast to learn how Sinch used AI, multilingual analysis and human oversight to examine World Cup communication—and what the project reveals about communicating under pressure.

This is an emergency episode to warn everyone of the catastrophic Coldcard entropy bug that's letting attackers regenerate users' keys and drain wallets without device access. I walk through concrete, step‑by‑step instructions to move your coins to safety (including using Sparrow, Nunchuck, and even exchanges as a last resort), who's most at risk across MK3, MK4, MK5, and Q devices, and what this means for hardware wallets, AI‑driven security research, and multi‑sig going forward. This is the worst hit to self custody in Bitcoin's history. All we can do is act as quickly as possible. If you have a coldcard in your setup, you need to move to safe keys or cycle your multisig, don't wait, don't assume you have time, sit down and get it done. Do it carefully and don't skip steps. Here are a few of the quickest paths to safety and how to think about this going forward. To everyone who got hit by this, I cannot be more sorry.

It's unusal for any major media franchise from outside of this country to frequently and specifically reference Canada, but Mobile Suit Gundam is fairly well known for it. I don't know why Amuro's birthplace was established as Prince Rupert, BC in Gundam Movie 1, why there's a military fortress in Fort Severn, Ontario in Gundam X or why the insidious Earth Federation training academy from Ecole du Ciel was set up in Montreal, but I'm more than happy to interpret it as a compliment. Gundam super fan Yazy returns to the show to discuss.

There is a massive miscommunication tearing Bitcoiners apart right now. Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I'll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn't authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our ability to protect the network. We built a protocol for decentralized money, not unlimited file storage. Let's talk about what real censorship actually means.

In the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave and Alec break down recent developments in the conflict with Iran and consider whether the situation could widen, along with the broader factors event professionals should keep in mind. They also discuss the Berlin vehicle ramming attack and what it may signal for future outdoor event planning and security. Looking ahead to the fall event season, they explore how current geopolitical dynamics could shape risk considerations. The episode wraps with a lighter segment as Dave and Alec share their thoughts on The Odyssey, catch up on Game of Thrones, and look forward to the latest Spider-Man.References from the pod include:Iran Conflict - Horizontal Escalationhttps://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-saudis-attack-iran-backed-groups-iraq-threatening-intensify-conflict-2026-07-29/https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20260727-yemen-says-ready-for-houthi-escalation-after-rebels-target-saudi-arabiahttps://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Ukraines-Attack-on-Iranian-Cargo-Ship-Links-Two-Wars.htmlIran Cyber Activity in the Homelandhttps://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa26-097a https://www.dataminr.com/resources/blog/implications-of-recent-cisa-disclosures-on-iranian-ot-targeting/Berlin Terrorist Attack and Security Resources for Large Gatherings and Outdoor Eventshttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cevmdxz4872ohttps://archive.dni.gov/index.php/nctc-how-we-work/joint-ct-assessment-team/first-responder-toolbox/opportunistic-attacks/vehicle-borne-attacks-tactics-and-mitigationhttps://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/vehicle-incident-prevention-and-mitigation-security-guidehttps://www.cisa.gov/topics/physical-security/securing-public-gatherings

1: Jack Smith Investigation and Congressional Referral The first portion of our podcast focuses on a referral made by Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, asking the Department of Justice to consider possible prosecution of former Special Counsel Jack Smith. The referral alleges Smith may have provided misleading testimony to Congress concerning records obtained during investigations related to former President Donald Trump. Key claims discussed include: Senate investigators allegedly uncovered evidence that communications involving 44 members of Congress were obtained during Trump-related investigations. The records were reportedly obtained through legal requests to the National Archives rather than directly from lawmakers' devices. Smith's legal team disputes allegations that he misled Congress, arguing his testimony accurately addressed specific types of records while other materials may have been obtained through separate legal authorities. The commentary raises questions about government transparency, prosecutorial authority, congressional oversight, and political accountability. 2: Anthony Fauci's COVID-Era Diary Entries The second of our pod shifts to newly released diary entries attributed to Anthony Fauci, released by Senator Rand Paul. These entries reportedly document Fauci's reflections on his growing public profile during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci's observations about increasing media attention and celebrity status during 2020. References to extensive press coverage and public recognition. An invitation to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" during the pandemic. Claims by Rand Paul that the diary portrays Fauci as overly focused on his public image during a national public-health crisis. Discussion of a forthcoming committee appearance where Fauci is expected to answer questions under subpoena. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

This week, host Daniel Raimi brings Ishan Sharma on the podcast to discuss the beginnings of the geologic hydrogen industry. Sharma, director and founder of a fund at Renaissance Philanthropy that seeks to grow hydrogen into a competitive energy provider, draws upon the trajectories of sectors such as oil and gas—and newer additions, like geothermal energy—to argue that with enough investment, the abundant hydrogen gas trapped beneath the Earth's surface could be a major player in the energy game. As hydrogen is a natural output of common chemical reactions, such as the interaction of iron and water, there's no shortage of the resource; the issue is how to find it. While interest in geologic hydrogen is ramping up, the industry faces feasibility issues related to incomplete public information, lack of understanding about the subsurface world, and regulatory voids—however, Sharma believes this low-carbon source has a bright future.

For most of the last century, gardeners were taught to cultivate their soil after every rain to conserve moisture, to think of plant roots as lone competitors, and to treat "plant communication" as science fiction. All of that was built on the best evidence available at the time, and all of it has been revised, in some cases more than once, as better tools let researchers see what earlier generations simply could not. In this episode, we walk through four real case studies of plant science changing its mind. Along the way, we talk about how the scientific method works, why one of my favorite phrases, "we don't know what we don't know," is not a discouraging idea but an exciting one, and what all of this means for the choices you make in your own garden each season, now and into the future.

Something is shifting in independent film right now, and Ron Cohen, one of the producers on June July and a veteran of physical production, is exactly the person to make sense of it. Chris and Daniel bring him in for a wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from The Odyssey's marketing to the A24 backlash of the moment, but the real news is that the team just wrapped a shoot on June July, and Ron walks through how it actually went. The conversation moves into the details of that shoot, where fully ray traced and relightable Gaussian splats, an unplanned split diopter, and a crew that improvised through a rough second day produced a shot nobody storyboarded. Ron also weighs in on private equity's growing role in indie film financing, the five to ten million dollar sweet spot for creative freedom, and what the Warner Bros/Paramount consolidation could open up for smaller studios willing to bet on story over stars.

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries. One Lesson That Changed Everything. Welcome Back Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self. Move today. Recover tonight. Adapt tomorrow. Live younger tomorrow. Until next time... Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep adapting. Because every step you take today is helping build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself tomorrow.   REFERENCES:   [i]  Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 402 “Phase 3 Intro: How Movement Builds the Brain https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-loop-how-everyday-action-rewires-your-brain-and-boosts-performance/   [ii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 403 “How movement Activates the Brain and Learning”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   [iii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 38 https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/assistant-coach-to-the-winnipeg-jets-todd-woodcroft-on-the-daily-grind-in-the-nhl/

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. So seems like a good time to review our previous episode on it as we prep for a formal update on why the name change happened. Also, we hear Danielle's voice for the first time!!   Robyn Flynn joins Chris to talk about polycystic ovarian syndrome. More common than most people realize and with more far-reaching implications than it would initially seem. It can impact fertility, cardiovascular health, and according to Robyn is more painful than childbirth?!? We're going to have to look into that one.   You can also check out Robyn's podcast, Rebel Mom Boss https://open.spotify.com/show/4uMAsJS9ySR47iGYw8ExDo?si=bc68ddfcb0bd4f3f   Become a supporter of our show today either on Patreon or through PayPal!

What if the number 666 was never meant to be a mystery about the distant future?In this episode, Jay Rogers examines one of the most debated questions in biblical prophecy: Why does the famous 666 calculation work in Hebrew rather than Greek?By exploring the Jewish context of Revelation, the practice of gematria, and the linguistic world of the first-century church, this study uncovers why many scholars connect the number of the beast directly to Nero Caesar.Was John's audience expected to recognize a coded reference hidden in plain sight?Why would a book written to churches in the Roman world use a Hebrew calculation?And what does this reveal about the original purpose of Revelation?Topics covered:• The biblical meaning of 666• Gematria and ancient number symbolism• Nero Caesar and the "Neron Kaiser" calculation• Why Hebrew matters in Revelation• The Jewish background of the early church• The 616 manuscript variant• Historical context and first-century prophecyWhether you're studying Revelation, the Beast, Nero Caesar, biblical prophecy, or the debate over preterism, this episode explores the historical and linguistic evidence behind one of Scripture's most famous mysteries.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

In this episode, Michael and Mircea dig into one of the biggest offensive upgrades in modern pickleball: the two-handed backhand dink. Mircea, a former tennis and squash player, shares what it's like to relearn a shot as a high-level competitor, while Michael reflects on his own journey picking up the "twoie" back in 2023. Together they break down technique, drilling strategy, and how the shot shows up differently depending on where you are on the court. Why the two-hander matters: How the two-handed backhand dink has gone from a rare, cutting-edge shot to the default among younger and female players, and why it opens up so much more offense than the traditional one-handed slice dink. Starting from scratch: Mircea talks about the mental hurdle of deconstructing a shot he'd already found success with, and the discomfort of being a beginner again at a high level of play. The wall drill: Both hosts recommend starting with 30 to 45 minutes hitting left-handed dinks against a wall to build footwork and spin before ever adding the second hand. Footwork over everything: Why leg drive and getting under the ball matters more than arm mechanics when learning the shot. Paddle angle debate: Michael and Mircea compare notes on paddle tip position (angled up vs. dipped down) for different types of dinks and speed-ups. Shot placement on speed-ups: Guidance on where to target speed-ups (down the line, into the body, or cross-court into the hip/belly button) and why cross-middle speed-ups are usually a mistake. Timeline for improvement: Expect two to four weeks minimum of discomfort, with real integration into games often taking two to three months or longer. Pro-level examples: References to Anna Leigh Waters, Anna Bright, Hayden Patrick Quinn, Jack Sock, JW, and Ben, illustrating different ways the two-hander is used (or intentionally not used) at the highest levels. Senior pro trends: Why more women are bringing the two-hander into senior pro play, and how it's slowly gaining ground among men on that circuit. Don't neglect your strengths: A reminder to keep drilling bread-and-butter shots (like the one-handed slice dink) even while building a new weapon, since the one-hander still matters for reach, resets, and defense. Right-side situations: How the two-handed backhand shows up less often at the net when playing the right side, but becomes more relevant in the transition zone and on third-shot drops. Michael gives a shoutout to CRBN Pickleball's new backpack and his Barrage elongated paddle. Listeners can use code 402P at checkout for 10% off at carbonpickleball.com. Committing to a two-handed backhand dink is a long-term project, not a quick fix. Drill it deliberately (wall work, tossed feeds, transition zone reps), keep using it in real games even while uncomfortable, and don't abandon the shots that already work while you build the new one.

In this episode, host Kristin Hayes invites Sara Baldwin-Griffin to give her perspective on Utah's growing renewable energy sector—a product of the state's abundant resources, increasing energy demand, and collaborative policy landscape. Baldwin-Griffin, as chief executive officer of Utah Clean Energy, is supporting the industry's boom as solar, wind, geothermal, and battery power have grown from less than 5 percent to approximately 20 percent of Utah's energy generation within just two decades. Not only do sustainable sources of energy offer solutions for affordability and reliability issues, which have been exacerbated by the state's emerging data center projects, but renewable energy can inject vitality back into struggling local economies. Baldwin-Griffin elaborates on the factors that have led to Utah's clean-energy success so far, including bipartisan support and community engagement, and speculates on next steps to increase renewable energy adoption across the Western United States.

Skip the banter: 00:07:09In December 2023, Broomfield, Colorado police responded to a welfare check request from Dan Krug, worried he couldn't reach his wife Kristil. Officers found her bleeding out in the garage of the home she'd spent months trying to protect, the target of a stalking campaign that had escalated from cryptic texts to threats against her family. Kristil had done everything right: she filed police reports, hired a private investigator, bought a gun and carried it everywhere she went. The man she believed was terrorizing her, an ex-boyfriend from high school, had an airtight alibi. If he wasn't the one stalking her, someone much closer to home was watching all along.Allison dug through the digital forensics on this one, and once you hear how investigators finally traced those threats back through a piece of blue painter's tape, you'll understand why this case still keeps detectives up at night.Over 150 bonus episodes waiting for YOU:https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcoffeecoupleOur Amazon Shop (stuff we like that we share on the show): https://amzn.to/48mohHX All our links (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Merch, etc):https://linktr.ee/crimeandcoffee Facebook Group to discuss episodes:www.facebook.com/groups/crimeandcoffeecouplepodcast/ References available at https://www.crimeandcoffeecouple.com a few days after this podcast airs.

Have you ever felt awkward trying to sell, like the moment you mention your offer people instantly tune out? In this Quickie, I'm sharing one of the biggest communication shifts I've learned after years of speaking on stages, hosting over 1,600 podcast episodes, and watching the best storytellers in the world. You'll learn why the most successful entrepreneurs don't separate storytelling from selling. They weave the two together so naturally that by the end of the conversation, people already know exactly how they can help. If you want to sell with more confidence, create deeper trust, and have people asking how they can work with you instead of feeling like you have to convince them, this episode is for you.

HIGHLIGHTS Why storytelling and selling should never be separate. The difference between storytelling and "story selling." How to naturally weave your offer into every story you tell. Why leading with your beliefs creates deeper trust than leading with your offer. The simple storytelling framework that makes people want to work with you. How client stories and testimonials can sell better than any pitch. Why every podcast interview is really a verbal sales funnel.
