18-year-olds wake up fresh because their repair system still works. This episode shows you how stem cell decline quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, and faster aging, and how fasting can reactivate your body's natural ability to repair itself without expensive stem cell procedures. Grab a generous 30% discount on any STEMREGEN product with: http://stemregen.co/dave30 Dave Asprey sits down with Christian Drapeau, a neuroscientist trained at McGill University and a leading researcher in stem cell science. Christian pioneered a therapeutic approach called Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization, authored the bestselling book Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and developed the concept of stem cell enhancement. He is the Founder and CSO of STEMREGEN, where his work focuses on helping the body release and use its own stem cells more effectively. Together, they break down why many injected stem cells never survive long enough to help, how the lungs trap a large percentage of IV stem cells, and why releasing your own stem cells into arterial circulation changes the outcome. They explore stem cell decline as a core driver of aging, tissue degeneration, and chronic inflammation, and explain why fasting is currently the only intervention shown to rejuvenate stem cells through autophagy. You'll hear why a three-day fast has measurable effects on bone marrow aging, how stem cells act as signaling molecules that coordinate repair across the body, and why mitochondria play a massive and underappreciated role in stem cell renewal and tissue regeneration. The conversation also covers scar tissue, fibrosis, recovery from injury, and why healing quality matters just as much as healing speed. You'll Learn: • Why stem cell decline, not simple wear and tear, drives aging • How fasting supports stem cell rejuvenation through autophagy • Why many injected stem cells die in the lungs before helping tissue • How releasing your own stem cells differs from IV stem cell therapy • Why mitochondria are central to stem cell function and repair • How scar tissue and fibrosis form when repair fails • Why recovery quality determines long-term resilience and longevity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

After Hoda departed TODAY in January 2025, Jenna Bush Hager spent a year sitting side by side with a rotating group of friends, but as it turns out, her permanent partner was someone who had been part of the TODAY family all along: Sheinelle Jones. On the heels of the launch of TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle, Hoda sat down with Jenna and Sheinelle for a SiriusXM Front Row Conversation at SiriusXM's New York City studios to talk about their official beginning as co-hosts, the lessons Sheinelle has learned in the wake of losing her husband, Uche, and how grief and joy can exist side by side. Plus, what having Sheinelle by her side means for Jenna, and reflections on her path to this moment. (Originally broadcast on SiriusXM TODAY Show Radio.) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

Today's episode is one every woman needs right now — because if you're feeling distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your brain has 47 tabs open at all times… you're not alone. We're joined by psychologist, behavioral scientist, and author Dr. Zelana Montminy, whose work focuses on resilience, focus, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. And no — this isn't about productivity hacks or doing more. It's about coming back to yourself. We talk about why so many women are living in low-grade burnout without realizing it, how multitasking and being “always available” is quietly frying our nervous systems, and why distraction isn't just a kids' problem — it's an adult epidemic.  Dr. Zelana breaks down how focus isn't about grinding or optimizing — it's about presence and intention. We get into simple, realistic shifts that actually help: micro moments of calm, rethinking your relationship with your phone, why silence matters more than you think, and how modeling regulation (not perfection) changes everything — especially for our kids. If you've ever thought, Why can't I focus anymore? Why am I so tired? Why does everything feel urgent? — this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little more grounded by the time it ends.

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with coach and author Suzy Ashworth for a grounded, activating conversation about identity shifts, pivots, and what it actually takes to receive more in life and business. Together, they explore why true transformation doesn't come from strategy alone, but from who you're willing to become in your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self. Suzy shares how the most powerful pivots in her life and work didn't come from forcing outcomes, but from releasing attachment to timelines, outcomes, and the need to prove.

This conversation reframes success as an internal orientation first, and an external result second.

In this episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens to talk about the difference between communicating and actually connecting. They unpack why teams can look successful on the outside but be disconnected on the inside, how adversity reveals character, and why connection always carries risk. You'll also learn the two types of respect, the quiet trust-killers that damage teams over time, and the three controllables—effort, attitude, and energy—that determine whether connection grows or dies. www.YourHealth.Org

This episode is brought to you by Strong Coffee Company, Supp Co, and WHOOP. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, psychologist and addiction expert Dr. Adi Jaffe reframes addiction, compulsive behavior, and self-sabotage as intelligent coping strategies rather than personal failures. He explains why labeling people as "addicts" creates shame and traps identity, how early childhood and even preverbal experiences shape adult behavior, and why most habits don't change through awareness alone. Dr. Jaffe introduces his SPARROW Behavioral Loop—stimulus, perception, activation, response, outcome—to show how emotions and bodily sensations, not events themselves, drive behavior. Together, they explore identity, responsibility without blame, growth mindset, emotional regulation, stoicism, belief systems, and why sustainable change comes from reshaping perception and nervous system responses rather than fighting behaviors directly. This conversation offers a compassionate, practical framework for breaking patterns and moving forward—without shame.

In this episode of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with FFP Coach Steve Roy for a deeply human conversation about resilience, fatherhood, and why fitness is about far more than aesthetics. Steve opens up about his personal journey—from a painful childhood and early struggles with confidence, to discovering fitness as a pathway to strength, purpose, and service.Together, they explore how movement becomes medicine during life's darkest seasons, why “showing up” matters more than motivation, and how physical practice can anchor us through grief, stress, and uncertainty.

Send us a textWhat if the life you're living right now is inviting you to slow down, listen deeper, and finally come home to yourself?In this powerful and soul-expanding episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits with Ann Jonas for a deeply intentional conversation on self-reflection, spirituality, and the sacred connection between the human experience and the divine. This episode isn't just a discussion—it's an invitation. An invitation to pause, to breathe, and to remember who you are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the expectations of the world.Together, Lira and Ann explore self-reflection as a gateway to healing—both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. They unpack the idea that we are constantly reflecting and being reflected, using metaphors like “walking disco balls,” Earth school, and the Matrix to illuminate how life's challenges, triggers, and moments of contraction are not punishments, but portals for growth and expansion. This conversation gently reminds us that resilience isn't about never falling—it's about choosing to rise again with awareness.The episode also dives deep into the contrast between religion and spirituality, examining how organized systems have shaped society while spirituality offers a direct, personal relationship with God, Source, and self. Ann speaks on sovereignty, choice, and alignment—encouraging listeners to move from fear-based living into heart-led awareness, where intuition becomes the true moral compass and presence becomes power.The experience culminates in a guided moment of self-reflection and meditation, creating space for listeners to reconnect with their inner light, soften into the present moment, and affirm their inherent worth. This episode serves as a reminder that healing doesn't require perfection—it begins with presence, curiosity, and the willingness to choose yourself again and again.If this conversation resonates, take it with you. Reflect on it. Sit with it. Let it meet you where you are. And if you feel called, share it with someone who might need a gentle reminder that they are not alone on their journey.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

What happens when the world's leading hormone experts can't fix their own symptoms?In this vulnerable and deeply clinical episode, Dr. Tamara Beckford sits down with Double Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Erica Bove to pull back the curtain on the perimenopause experience for high-achieving women.For years, Dr. Bove lived by a simple formula: Hard work in, results out. But when the pandemic hit, the formula broke. Despite being an expert in the field, Dr. Bove found herself battling debilitating brain fog, unexplained weight gain, and night sweats that eroded her professional confidence.In this episode, we dive into:The Birth Control Trap: Why staying on continuous birth control might be masking your "vital sign" and leading to synthetic estrogen deficiency.The Myth of Resilience: Why high-achieving women often gaslight themselves into thinking they are "just stressed" or "bad at their jobs" instead of hormonal.Natural vs. Synthetic: The clinical discovery that changed Dr. Bove's life—and why HRT might be the missing piece for your brain health.The Weight Creep: Addressing the frustration of "doing everything right" (triathlons, weight lifting, clean eating) and still seeing the scale move up.If you've ever felt like a "shadow of yourself" or wondered why your doctor is calling you their "healthiest patient" while you feel your worst, this episode is your validation.

Segment 1: Interview with Warwick Webb From Initial Entry to Resilience: Understanding Modern Attack Flows Modern cyberattacks don't unfold as isolated alerts--they move as coordinated attack flows that exploit gaps between tools, teams, and time. In this episode, Warwick Webb, Vice President of Managed Detection and Response at SentinelOne, breaks down how today's breaches often begin invisibly, progress undetected through siloed security stacks, and accelerate faster than human response alone can handle. He'll discuss how unified platforms, machine-speed detection powered by global threat intelligence, and expert-led response change the equation--turning fragmented signals into clear attack narratives. The conversation concludes with how organizations can move beyond incident response to build resilience, readiness, and continuous improvement through post-attack analysis. Listeners will leave with a clearer understanding of how attacks actually unfold in the real world—and what it takes to move from reactive alert handling to true attack-flow-driven defense.

Resilience is the buzzword of the moment—from Gerard's personal resilience on display in Davos last week to the critical issue of grid resilience.  The great Doug Houseman draws a useful distinction between reliability and resilience. “Reliability is about how well you keep the lights on, while resilience is about how quickly you can restore power after an outage.”  Over the past year, blackouts caused by extreme weather, human error, and physical attacks have exposed an uncomfortable truth: electricity is no longer invisible background infrastructure. It is the backbone of modern society, and when it fails, everything else quickly follows.  To explore these challenges, Laurent and Gerard sit down with Ronny Fiuren, one of the Nordics' sharpest thinkers on energy. Ronny is the Founder of Mylicia Energy, an executive board member, and a strategic business developer with deep expertise in power markets, energy flexibility, and grid-oriented solutions.  Together, they discuss why resilience has evolved from a technical afterthought into a strategic priority, and what recent events across Europe and North America are really telling us about the condition of our power grids.  The conversation examines how decentralisation, flexibility, and the use of advanced technologies and AI matter more than ever. It also highlights the need for a shift in mindset, not only among grid operators but also regulators.  They explore the value of interconnectors in strengthening power systems, while also unpacking their political dimensions and the strong public emotions that can emerge when electricity prices rise suddenly.  Beyond weather-related disruptions and cyber threats, the discussion turns to new risks such as deliberate sabotage and how energy systems can be designed to cope with them.  From Scandinavia to the rest of Europe, this is a timely conversation about how to build power systems capable of withstanding shocks in an increasingly electrified and digital world.----Read Ember Europe Electricity Review  https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/european-electricity-review-2026/

"We need to focus on who we are." The secret to raising resilient children starts with the parent stepping away to find their own calm in the chaos.In this episode of the Real Things Living Podcast, Brigitte Cutshall explores the essentials of Parental Resilience with psychologist and author Dr. Kate Lund. Dr. Lund introduces her "Step Away" book, which focuses on the psychology of parenting and why resilient parenting requires us to prioritize our own well-being first.They dive into the comparison trap of social media, the importance of mindfulness for parents, and practical strategies for overcoming parental stress. By shifting from a "crisis mode" to a "resilient lifestyle," moms and dads can find better work-life balance for families and improve overall mental health for moms and dads.3 Key Takeaways(1) Manage the Baseline: Resilience isn't just for emergencies; it's a daily practice. Using tools like the "relaxation response" helps parents start their day at a lower stress level so they can ride life's challenges like a wave.(2) The "Step Away" Philosophy: Stepping away isn't about checked-out parenting; it's about putting on your own oxygen mask first. By prioritizing self-awareness and personal joy, parents can "step back in" more robustly for their families.(3) Context Over Comparison: High stress often stems from comparing our "messy" reality to curated digital lives. True resilience comes from optimizing within your own unique context and focusing on authentic human connection.To find more of Dr. Kate Lund's resources and pick up a copy of her new book, Step Away, visit her website at https://KateLundSpeaks.com Connect with her on: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-lund/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr_kate_lund/

Playwright and BAFTA-nominated screenwriter Moira Buffini on moving between theatre, film, and fiction, writing for yourself instead of the market, and shaping structure by rewriting toward the ending you want readers to feel.    You'll learn:Why “you are the audience” can be a practical rule for cutting through market noise and writing with conviction. A useful way to handle reviews and outside opinions without letting them steer the work. How to build story momentum when you can't fully plot ahead, and why not knowing the next move can be a strength. A structure approach based on “writing toward a feeling” at the end, then layering drafts until the story clicks. What discipline looks like when you're writing big worlds in prose, and how constraints can keep you from getting lost. How a dramatist's instincts (plot, structure, obstacles) can transfer into long-form fiction and help sustain narrative drive.   A grounded reminder about the “mundane” day-to-day of being a professional writer, and why that doesn't cancel the magic. The practical foundations she names for keeping your mind working (sleep, movement, and treating the body as part of the instrument). What it can take to keep writing alongside caring responsibilities, and why persistence is often the hardest part.   The simplest career advice she returns to: don't accept the story that you “can't,” and keep putting in the hours. Resources & Links:

Episode 2887: Allison Carmen reflects on how early experiences with bullies can shape a child's self-perception and future confidence, revealing that true strength lies in compassion, not control. By teaching children to recognize the fear behind cruelty, they can reclaim their inner power, avoid intimidation, and build a foundation for lasting success grounded in empathy and self-assurance. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/can-our-childrens-view-of-the-bully-be-tied-to-their-future-success/ Quotes to ponder: "Real strength does not need to prove anything. It can stand on its own without a word spoken and that is the real power." "It takes more strength to be peaceful, loving and kind in the face of adversity than to yell and scream and hurt the ones around you." "My hope is that true strength will follow them through life so their success won't be determined by the bully in the room."

EPISODE 235 In our age of constant comparison, endless opinions, and relentless noise, one of the greatest challenges we face is not deciding what to do, but deciding who to listen to. Trends change. External validation is fleeting. Yet, beneath the surface of all this motion, there exists something far more stable: your North Star. Your North Star is not a goal, a job title, or a destination. Your North Star is an internal compass, a deeply held sense of purpose, values, and direction that remains constant even when circumstances change. Your North Star, is your Intuition. Stephen Lesavich, PhD Your North Star, your Intuition, is your First Sense, what you use before using your other five senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. Believing in your North Star, your Intuition, is the act of trusting that inner guidance, especially when the path forward feels uncertain. A life guided by your North Star, your Intuition, is be linear, but it is coherent. Over time, seemingly disconnected choices begin to form a pattern. Effort feels purposeful. Resilience deepens. Confidence becomes quieter but more stable. What are practical steps to connect with your own North Star, your Intuition? When you trust that internal compass, your North Star, your Intuition, you move through uncertainty with dignity. You make fewer decisions driven by fear and more driven by meaning. Believing in your North Star, your Intuition, is not about having all the answers. It is about committing to live in relationship with your inner truth, even as it evolves to create a positive impact in your life. That is your real north, your North Star, its your Intuition.
