Ever wondered why you can eat bread in Europe without the bloating, breakouts, or fatigue—but suffer in the U.S.? In this solo episode, Jen Smiley breaks down the real differences between American and European bread, from gluten content to glyphosate exposure. She explains why traditional fermentation, fewer additives, and better ingredients make all the difference—and shares her favorite clean bread brands and grain-free swaps you can find in the freezer aisle or order online.If you've been told to ditch bread altogether, don't worry—Jen has your back with clean swaps that support your digestion and energy, not work against them.Key Takeaways:American bread is highly processed and often contains additives, enzymes, and glyphosate.European breads use traditional fermentation and heirloom grains, making them easier to digest.Additives like dough conditioners and high-fructose corn syrup disrupt digestion.Refined flours = blood sugar spikes, cravings, and inflammation.Real bread goes in the freezer, not the shelf—watch out for shelf-stable traps.Look for clean ingredients like sprouted buckwheat, almond flour, flaxseed, and coconut flour.Disclaimer:The content provided by Wake Up and Read the Labels and Jen Smiley is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

#296. Taking a bite out of crime just to become pirates as we fight off the albino ghosts of extinct wolves. That was too long for the title, so it's the first sentence of this thing. Kendall is back from vacation and shares some stories, including someone hitting on his wife. Kory shares some of his travel experience in Seattle which leads us to discuss some regional food and the competition between cities. After the break, we briefly discuss how we let our hair loose for vacation before we dive into not just streaming, but also reading and listening.

Find out about the worst foods for aging adults that can put your health at risk. Avoid these diet mistakes after 50 for health and longevity!Our bodies become more vulnerable as we age, so what we eat and drink is vital to our health. Here are the foods to avoid after 50!1. Unfiltered waterI noticed that my tap water is high in a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid. The amount of this chemical in my water supply exceeds the acceptable level by 98,650%! This increases my risk for cancer, liver problems, and kidney problems. Most of the water supply contains forever chemicals that don't break down and accumulate in the brain. Find a good water filter that filters out forever chemicals!2. Foods that deplete zincZinc supports testosterone, which significantly decreases in both men and women with aging. Testosterone is essential for muscle mass and supports thymus function. Zinc is also involved in making hydrochloric acid. Refined carbohydrates and starches deplete zinc.3. Seed oilsSeed oils can become stored in the membranes of cells, including the cells in your brain. Instead, use butter, tallow, lard, or olive oil for cooking. 4. Refined soy products Soy protein isolates are used in many products, such as protein bars that are marketed as healthy. You do not want to consume refined, unnatural protein like soy protein isolate. 5. Low-fat foods Vitamin K2 is vital as you age, and it's only found in fatty foods. If you follow a low-fat diet, you're depriving yourself of an essential nutrient that can keep your bones and joints healthy.Magnesium supports good quality deep sleep, which is crucial as we age. Taking a magnesium glycinate supplement before bed is one of the best ways to increase your magnesium intake and improve sleep.Instead of focusing on salt restriction, focus on increasing potassium and incorporating high-quality sea salt into your diet.

Is me even waiting on God for an answer a step of faith? In today's episode, we will be breaking all of this down!Josiahmovius12@yahoo.com

“Arthur went to Dublin and he used the 100 pounds to pay for the 9000 year lease in St. James's Gate. So when you go to the storehouse in Dublin now, you'll see that the first 10 years of his brewing career in Dublin was brewing an ale, and that was the ale that his father taught him in Cashel. If it was not for the Archbishop of Cashel, we would not have Guinness. And therefore, we consider ourselves the Godfather of Guinness.”We're in great company with Adriaan Bartels, the award-winning General Manager of Cashel Palace, a magnificent regal manor in the bountiful heart of Ireland, Tipperary's Golden Vale. With origins in the 18th century, the manor is meticulously restored and exquisitely reimagined as a five-star luxury hotel, enveloped in nature and overlooked by ancient history.Here, a tapestry of timeless hospitality, proud Irish heritage, and sustainable modern practices are seamlessly woven together for guests to experience Cashel Palace in all its glory – from its notable thoroughbred horse breeding ties to its acclaimed humble beginnings of Guinness.   In this episode, Adriaan reminds us what it is about our ties to and dreams of Ireland – from the rich soil to the flowing spirits to the convivial music – that inspire so many of us to paint the world green on St. Patrick's Day.

Insomnia is torture! In this podcast, I'll share several sleep tips to address the real reason why you're waking up at night. Find out how to sleep better at night and eliminate sleep problems for good. Cortisol should be at its lowest point at 2 a.m., but for some, it's at its highest! This can cause night-waking and other sleep problems that can interfere with your day. Sleep medication can worsen this problem by causing your cortisol to rise even more.Magnesium glycinate before bed can help lower cortisol, which can help you sleep better at night. Twitching and cramping can signify a magnesium deficiency.Low blood sugar can increase cortisol and cause you to wake up at night. If your diet is high in carbs, your blood sugar may decrease while sleeping, and your body will increase cortisol levels to normalize your blood sugar. If you wake up at 2 a.m., evaluate what you ate the day before. Refined starches, MSG, alcohol, snacking, and eating late can disturb sleep. Salt cravings can signify a sodium deficiency. Sodium helps lower cortisol, so add more sea salt to your meals throughout the day if you're having salt cravings.Here are a few other sleep tips that can help you sleep better at night:•Avoid suspense and action movies before bed •Avoid blue light before bed •Get plenty of sunlight during the day •Go for long walks •Exercise to release excess energy The liver detoxifies the body between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Night waking during this time frame could signify a problem with the liver. Milk thistle before bed can help. Restless legs syndrome can be related to a B1 or magnesium deficiency. Lower your carb intake and increase your consumption of these nutrients. A high pulse rate could signify a potassium deficiency, which can also interfere with sleep. Apple cider vinegar before bed can help stabilize blood sugar for better sleep, but make sure it's diluted.

Y'all- how are we already wrapping up Season 6? This community means the world to us, and we're so grateful for every conversation, every message, and every moment we've shared this season.For our finale, we're talking about something that affects every single one of us—the power of our words, especially the ones we speak to ourselves. We can be our own worst critics, holding ourselves to impossible standards and replaying lies that we'd never say to a friend. But here's the truth: the words we repeat in our minds either build us up or tear us down.What if we spoke to ourselves with the same kindness we pour into the people we love? It's time for us to see ourselves the way God sees us. You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough, right now, exactly as you are.So grab your coffee and let's chat. Because, friend, you are so loved, and it's time to start speaking to yourself like it.Don't forget to save the date for Refined, happening April 25th, 2025!

If someone dies from a heart attack or stroke, their death is typically the result of a clot. A clot can form in less than 5 seconds! Usually, your body should form a clot, fix the hole in the artery, then dissolve the clot, but this doesn't always happen.Clots can be caused by the following:•Smoking•Pollution/chemicals•Alcohol•Birth control pills •Stress•Surgery•Endurance sports•Refined starches•Infection•High blood sugar•InflammationExcess calcium in the arteries can also trigger clotting, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Postmenopausal women who take large amounts of calcium are at a much greater risk for blood clots. Calcium is involved in over 15 different clotting factors. Vitamin K2 prevents calcium from building up in the soft tissues and arteries. It is found in dairy, butter, and other fatty foods. Always take vitamin D with vitamin K2. Magnesium is another important calcium regulator. It helps prevent calcium from entering the soft tissues, as well as arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. Nitric oxide can reduce clotting. Vitamin D, L-arginine, and sunlight can increase nitric oxide to help prevent heart attack. Polyphenols, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids all support heart health and may help reduce your risk of clotting.Keto and intermittent fasting can help reduce clotting by reducing inflammation in your arteries. Regular moderate exercise is vital in preventing clotting. Garlic and onion are also essential. Nattokinase, serrapeptase, and bromelain can be taken as supplements to prevent clotting.

Have you ever had a dream but found yourself stuck in Egypt? Life often takes us through unexpected detours, leaving us in places we never imagined. In today's message, we dive into the story of Joseph—a man who had a vision for his life but found himself betrayed, enslaved, and imprisoned. Yet, through it all, God was with him. In this powerful sermon, we explore:

Sony has announced the FE 16mm F1.8 G (SEL16F18G), a premium G Lens that combines the expressive power of a high-resolution ultra-wide angle with high portability thanks to its compact, lightweight design, allowing creators to express their creativity in an extensive range of still and video shooting scenes. When paired with the latest Sony Alpha series cameras this lens is great for scenery, architecture, starry skies and more, whilst also offering outstanding close-up capabilities alongside precise and quiet AF (autofocus). Outstanding resolution at ultra-wide 16 mm angles of view The FE 16mm F1.8 G is an ideal lens for creating dynamic and spectacular wide-angle perspectives. The optical design includes two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements for stunning image resolution at all apertures. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED elements suppress chromatic aberration right out to the image periphery, whilst an optimised coating minimises flare and ghosting. Supreme G Lens bokeh and outstanding close-up performance This new G Lens delivers stunning bokeh with its large F1.8 maximum aperture, 11-blade circular aperture. Close-up performance is excellent with a minimum focus distance of 0.15 m/0.5 ft and maximum magnification of 0.25x when using AF (0.13 m/0.43 ft, 0.30x for MF). All of this makes it possible to capture unique wide-angle perspectives with deep, exquisite bokeh. Large-aperture ultra-wide performance in a compact lens The use of aspherical lens elements in the FE 16mm F1.8 G, including Sony's high-precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens, has made it possible to create a full-frame ultra-wide lens that is a compact 73.8 x 75 ? mm (3 x 3 inch) and weighs just 304 g (10.8 oz). It is small, lightweight, and mobile whilst delivering spectacular imaging performance for a wide range of subjects including landscapes, architecture, starry skies, and more. Fast, precise autofocus supports high-level imaging Two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors ensure fast, precise AF and tracking. A control algorithm developed specifically for the XD linear motors achieves enhanced response that largely negates delay and vibration that are likely to occur when driving a large-diameter focus lens group, for exceptionally quiet, low-vibration operation. All of this makes it possible for the FE 16mm F1.8 G to capture important moments when shooting active, fast-moving subjects. Refined, stable performance for video The FE 16mm F1.8 G's advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing for smooth video footage. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible Alpha bodies is also supported, and in-body Active Mode[ii] image stabilisation can make it easy to capture stable wide-angle video whilst walking. What's more, the new lens accepts standard 67 mm front filter and is easy to balance on a gimbal. Comprehensive control and solid reliability A focus ring, focus hold button, focus mode switch, aperture ring, and iris lock switch are provided and alternative functions can be assigned to the focus hold button. The aperture ring provides hands-on control, while a click ON/OFF switch adds versatility, and a Focus mode switch allows instant autofocus/manual switching. Lastly, a dust and moisture resistant design[iii] and fluorine front-element coating maximises reliability and durability. Pricing and Availability The FE 16mm F1.8 G will be available in April 2025 for approximately €1,000 EUR at a variety of Sony's authorised dealers. A product video on the new FE 16mm F1.8 G can be viewed here. ?For detailed product information about FE 16mm F1.8 G please visit here.

Title: Breaking Free from Diet Confusion: Simple Steps to Healthier Eating Host: Gosia Nagy – Simply Well and Beyond (gosianagy.com) Episode Summary: In this episode of Simply Well and Beyond, Gosia Nagy dives into the overwhelming world of diet trends and helps you simplify your approach to healthy eating. She discusses why people overcomplicate diets, how to break free from analysis paralysis, and practical steps to start eating healthier today—without stress or confusion. If you've been struggling with conflicting diet advice, this episode is for you! Key Takeaways: Why Diets Feel Overcomplicated External influences (social media, influencers, doctors, research) create conflicting advice. The "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work—everyone's body and circumstances are different. Overanalyzing leads to inaction and frustration. Breaking Free from Overwhelm Stop searching for the "perfect" diet—there isn't one. Experimentation is more important than perfection. Focus on small, sustainable changes rather than drastic overhauls. 3 Simple Strategies to Improve Your Diet Today Eat more vegetables – Add at least one vegetable to every meal. Drink more water – Increase your daily water intake gradually. Ditch processed snacks – Replace them with whole, natural options like fruits. Experimenting with Diets Try a new approach for 2-4 weeks and evaluate how you feel. Keep a food and wellness journal to track energy levels, digestion, and mental clarity. Some diets require longer commitment, but you should notice changes within weeks. Debunking Common Myths Carbs are not the enemy – Refined carbs (flour, processed foods) are problematic, but whole-food carbs are beneficial. Healthy eating is not expensive – Simple, whole foods like fruits and vegetables are often more affordable than processed snacks. You don't have to be perfect – An 80/20 approach works for many people. Aim for consistency, not perfection. Making Diets Work for You Consider your personality type – Do you thrive on moderation or an all-or-nothing approach? Choose a diet that aligns with your lifestyle, budget, and preferences. Prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term fads. Take Action Today Start one small change this week and observe how it impacts your well-being. Avoid waiting for the "perfect" moment—just take the first step. For supper, book a complimentary discovery call here with Gosia for a chat about your next steps .

Peter knows the weight of suffering. When Satan requested permission from Christ to sift Peter he caved. He denied his savior three times. One would think that such a record would disqualify Peter to talk about suffering. However, Peter encourages us to rejoice in suffering, feel blessed when insulted, and glorify God. This sounds a bit hypocritical that Peter would say such things. However, as we dig deeper we note that Peter is not a hypocrite at all, but rather a fellow sojourning living in the dispersion.Peter is communicating to us that living as redeemed people means enduring trials, sharing in Christ's suffering, and not a necessary failure in our Christian life. Peter reminds believers that suffering is not a sign of abandonment but a means of refinement like gold or silver having its impurities burned away. The trials we endure as Christians test and strengthen our faith, strengthen our union with Christ, and reveal our character. We rejoice not in superficial words of piety, but consciously seeing ourselves as sharing in Christ's sufferings which also means we will share in his glory.The presence of the Holy Spirit in us is God is refining and preserving us through every hardship. Ultimately, our confidence lies in the Spirit of God who dwells in us, the same Spirit which raised Christ, and the full glory that filled the temple is in us. This divine presence secures our heavenly destiny and empowers us to live as God's people, even in the context of suffering. The Spirit is not a temporary gift but a permanent power that preserves us as we consciously persevere in Christ by faith. Thus, we are called to walk in the Spirit, trusting that God is working out His redemptive plan in us, and securing our place in His eternal kingdom. Let us rejoice in God's refinement, and not suffer as evil doers in this age.

“In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with tow he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!' 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.' 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.'” Isaiah 6:1-7“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” Matthew 5:8PURE (adj.): not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material“But as He who call you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘you shall be holy, for I am holy.'” 1 Peter 1:15-16“Our lack of purity is an expression of our belief in the nature and person of God. The answer to being pure is not in action alone but in belief that proceeds these actions. It's not just about not sinning. But for better it is to learn who God really is. To look to Jesus and see him as pure.”- Jackie Hill Perry“1 In the year King Uzziah died, I saw…”“1…I saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.”“2 Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.”“3 Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory.”“Holiness means ‘separation' and is translated sanctify or purity”- David Hoching“To say the Lord is holy says something. To say the Lord is holy, holy, says more. To say holy, holy, holy is the LORD is to declare this holiness in the highest possible degree.”- David Guzik“Holy is the way God is. To be holy He does not conform to a standard. He is that standard. He is absolutely holy with an infinite, incomprehensible fullness of purity that is incapable of being other than it is. Because he is holy, his attributes are holy. That is whatever we think of belonging to God must be thought of a holy.”- A. W. Tozer“4 The posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.”“5 So I said: ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.'”“After seeing the holy God, Isaiah then saw himself.”- Jackie Hill PerryThe holiness of God magnified the unholiness of himself“We have a ridiculously low view of sin and an equally mediocre grasp of the holiness of God.”- Jackie Hill Perry“We have all become like one who is unclean, and all out righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.” Isaiah 64:6“6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar? And he touched my mouth with it, and said ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged.'”Holiness mandates purificationagiazo (ah-yea-zo): to make holy; to be set apart for service to God and to abandon practices that displease him“Sanctification is the progressive work of God to make a believer more like Jesus Christ”- Grace Seming“Sanctification is the process of becoming more like Christ in our conduct and in character”- Mike Sulivan“The goal of sanctification is to renew men's and women's hearts in God's image”- John Wesleyhe sets us apart (sanctified) to be set apart (holy)refined as: 1) with impurities or unwanted elements having been removed by processing. 2) developed or improved so as to be precise or subtle“For He (God) is like a refiner's fire or a launder's soup. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness.” Malachi 3:2-3“Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord (aka when one repents/looks/beholds), the veil is taken away (salvation)….But we all with unveiled face (saved), beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord (God's image), are being transformed (sanctification/refined) into the same image (God's) from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”  2 Corinthians 3:16,18“God made us to image Himself. To exist in the world in such a way that when observed, whoever looked at us could accurately imagine God.”- Jackie Hill Perry“Holiness is the everyday business of the Christian. It evidences itself in the decisions we make and the things we do, hour by hour, day by day.”- Charles ColsonAs we behold him, we encounter his holiness. His holiness exposes our unholiness. His holiness then mandates purification. As we respond to this call, and turn to him, he refines us. He sanctifies us and makes us purified. And now pure, we can see him, even more brilliantly. and reflect him even more accurately.“I believe that as you see Him as He is, you'll want to be just like Him too. Holy.”- Jackie Hill Perry

Find out why refined starches are the #1 vitamin-depleting food in the world. In this podcast, I'll explain the critical role of vitamin B1 in the metabolism of refined starches. Learn to spot the signs of a vitamin B1 deficiency before they wreak havoc on your life! Refined starches include rice flour, tapioca flour, corn flour, modified corn starch, maltodextrin, and modified food starch. Certain nutrients are required to metabolize refined starch and turn it into energy. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is vital to this process. Refined starches are much higher on the glycemic index (GI) than sugar—this scale tells you how fast a food can raise blood sugar. Sugar is a 74 on the GI, while refined starches like maltodextrin are 180! Vitamin B1 is not stored in the body in large amounts, so consuming refined starches can quickly cause you to become deficient. Symptoms of vitamin B1 deficiency include: •Fatigue •GI problems (slow digestion, bloating, constipation, nausea) •Low stomach acid •Low bile •Stress •Nervous tension •Insomnia •Frequent mood swings •Muscle twitches •Breathing problems Much of the refined starch broken down into glucose in the body can not be used as energy, so it's converted into lactic acid. This decreases oxygen in the body and makes it more acidic, which can cause hyperventilation and restless legs syndrome. Along with diet, the following factors can also contribute to vitamin B1 deficiency: •Alcohol •Tea •Coffee •Raw fish •Gut issues •Metformin •Excessive exercise Meat, especially pork, is the best food source of vitamin B1. Liver, eggs, and sunflower seeds are also good sources. Refined grains are often fortified with synthetic B vitamins, which you should avoid. If you want to supplement vitamin B1, look for the natural form called allithiamine. Benfotiamine is also a good supplement form of vitamin B1. Magnesium is an important cofactor involved in turning starches into energy. If you don't have enough magnesium, vitamin B1 won't work. Magnesium helps control calcium in the body. Symptoms of low magnesium include: •Muscle spasms •Calcium buildup •Kidney stones •High blood pressure •Palpitations •High cortisol •Trouble sleeping •Tremors •Muscle weakness •Migraines Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable form of magnesium!

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. In Psalm 12, David expresses the drastic contrast between the fallen words of double-hearted people and the pure words of God. “Refined” describes the purifying process of a refiner, who heats metal, takes away the dross, and is left with a pure substance. Have you ever crossed a creekbed and searched for secure stones to stand on so you won't fall in? My journal is filled with verses that met me in the moment and gave me a secure Place to stand. I will end by reading some of the Scripture I have written down in my journal. It is my pure, safe Place to stand while navigating life's unforeseen challenges. You know, like creekbeds or lava you weren't prepared to cross.

So how English is the English setter? In some ways, the answer is ‘not very much.' In terms of numbers, looks and working style the breed is now more American, more Italian, more international than it is English. However, the English setter is, and always will be, quintessentially English. Refined over time by brilliant, industrious people, the English setter, like the English language, is a practical, elegant, and highly adaptable product of a small island nation that conquered the world.

How could it be true that God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly? I spent years trying to make God's ways align with my definition of goodness, but nothing ever seemed to click. Finally, I realized I actually needed to redefine what goodness meant to me. It was not an easy process, let me tell you, but it has formed me for the better. My friend Lysa has been on the same journey of redefining everything in a life that has upended every expectation she had. While our pain has taken completely different forms, she is my sister in suffering whose extraordinary character has been formed by hardship, not in spite of it. No one is more qualified to coach us on identity formation than Lysa TerKeurst. I'm inspired and challenged by who she is today and who she is still becoming, and I think you will be too.

Today, we're going to talk about parasites in the body. Here are some of the common symptoms of parasites: 1. Fatigue 2. Rash 3. Unexpected weight loss 4. Bloating 5. Teeth grinding 6. Itching 7. Anxiety Parasites and pathogens force us to become stronger. They strengthen our immune systems to protect us from future parasitic infections. While this can be beneficial, parasites are constantly evolving and competing for resources in the body. In an attempt to evade your immune system, parasites downgrade your ability to absorb vitamin D. Vitamin D supports the T cells, which control and coordinate the immune system. Parasites even try to change the behavior of the host. For example, toxoplasma gondii causes a mouse to become more fearless, making it more likely to be eaten by a cat. Parasites can also lie dormant for years and wait until you're older, stressed, or have a weakened immune system to emerge, so they have a better chance at survival. Some microorganisms can become parasitic if the environment changes in your body. E. coli is friendly in the large intestine but parasitic in the small intestine. Most ulcers come from H. pylori. This bacteria releases a substance that alkalizes the stomach because it can't survive in an acidic environment. Parasites can come from many places, including inhalation and pets. Antibiotics can greatly increase your risk of parasitic infection. Refined sugar and junk foods can feed parasites. TUDCA is a bile salt that supports the flow of bile through the bile ducts. Try taking TUDCA for two days before attempting a natural cleanse for parasites. Here are some of the best natural remedies for parasites to help purge and kill parasites directly and indirectly: •Wormwood extract •Clove •Black walnut extract •Garlic •Oregano oil •Pumpkin seeds •Fermented vegetables •Kefir To support the immune system during a parasitic infection, you may need at least 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily. Take it with magnesium and zinc.
