Podcasts about run free

It’s been a minute since we last recorded, so of course, the episode starts off on non-beer, non-gaming chat. Ben kicks off gaming chat with his thoughts on Revenge of the Savage Planet. Lucy’s been gaming with her nephew, or gaming for him in Animal Crossing. We end on Blue Prince, having a pretty in-depth discussion which turns to politics. Ben drinks a Beak X Floc collab called Threads 4, then follows it up with Soft Disco Leisure Reception from Verdant. Lucy has Run Free from Left Handed Giant, and Aadil brings a big boy, drinking Vault City’s Crunch. Renaissance PR provided the Revenge of the Savage Planet code for review and our continued discussion. Originally recorded on the 23rd […]

At the C Lazy U Ranch in Granby, Colorado Ami Cullen worked her way up from the most basic position to become the Director of Equine Operations. Ami has performed various services for ranch guests, including leading trail rides on private land and BLM land, teaching and educating guests on the skills necessary to ride horses in the mountains over difficult terrain, educating guests on surrounding wildlife and ranch history. Nothing about her previous life as a lawyer prepared her for what she would face when she was confronted by an out-of-control wildfire. Ami shares that experience in her book Running Free and she invites us along for the ride on this week's Cowboy Up podcast.

Message from Robert McMahan on March 9, 2025

How many of us give our power away? How many of us look to other people for the solution? How many of us let other people decide our fate? In this week's episode, I invite you to reclaim your power and remember that words matter. What we say, how we say it, the language we use – it all matters, even when we feel it doesn't. (See: “ceasefire”)  When we speak, when we possess the power to tell our stories and write our narrative. The challenge here is: are you writing it in integrity? Are you writing it with the truth of the heart? Too many lies are being manufactured by mainstream media and if we allow for that to pass as truth, then we're in bigger trouble than I thought. Listen in to understand the power of words and the frequency they carry and how that affects us all.  =============== Today's poems/ Books mentioned: Oracle card: Eight of Swords “Scratching my Back” by Hafiz Articles mentioned: “Klamath River Dam Removal Allows Salmon to Run Free for First Time in More Than a Century” ⁠https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/klamath-river-dam-removal-allows-salmon-to-run-free-for-first-time-in-more-than-a-century/⁠ “The Shapes of Grief: Witnessing the Unbearable” by Cristina Sharpe ⁠https://yalereview.org/article/christina-sharpe-shapes-of-grief⁠ ===============  Courses / Exclusive Content / Book Mentioned: Subscribe to mailing list + community: ⁠suryagian.com/subscribe⁠ and get the 7-day meditation challenge, “Spark Joy in Chaos” Subscribe to “Adventures in Midlife” newsletter: ⁠leslieann.substack.com⁠ Instagram: @leslieannhobayan  Email: ⁠leslieann@suryagian.com⁠ Dig into Divine Darkness: https://www.suryagian.com/dig-into-divine-darkness

Real Life Steven shares his recent battle with the flu, updates to his computer and recording setup, and his deep dive into World's Finest from the Superman: The Animated Series. He's also been watching That Christmas on Netflix, a cozy seasonal pick. Meanwhile, Ben recounts his creative ventures, like shadow boxing the Moon Lord, experimenting with black paper and sharpies, and recommends Perfect Days. This Tokyo-based film follows the quiet, reflective life of Hirayama, a janitor whose mundane routines uncover profound beauty. With its oldies-filled cassette soundtrack, the film is perfect for anyone craving a refreshed outlook on life's simple joys. Perfect Days on IMDb. Future or Now? This Week in Space: In space exploration news, NASA's Parker Solar Probe is making history this week by flying closer to the Sun than ever before—just 3.8 million miles from its surface. It's the fastest human-made object, designed to brave temperatures over 2,500°F as it ventures into the Sun's corona to unlock mysteries about the solar wind. That's Nuts!: Meanwhile, on Earth, scientists have observed California ground squirrels defying their herbivorous stereotype by hunting and eating voles. This unexpected carnivorous behavior highlights their adaptability and raises new questions about the flexibility of animal diets in response to environmental changes. Read more about this discovery in the ScienceDaily article and watch a detailed breakdown on YouTube. Book Club This week, we dive into spoiler-heavy discussion for the short film Where Rabbits Come From, a moving tale set in a dystopian world. Ben reviews the story of a widowed father rabbit who defies an authoritarian government to spark hope and magic in his daughter's life. They escape oppression, finding solace and a possible reunion in the meadow. Learn more on Letterboxd. On a lighter note, Steven gives a glowing review of Skeleton Crew, a family-friendly Star Wars show featuring kid pirates and Shistavanen aliens, which ties back to some classic lore.

Intro music: Samplefocus.comUsage: Standard licenseStory and Cover art by: Gail NoblesYou didn't think podcasting could have an AM radio sound, did you? Well, I suppose in this digital age, sound quality is king, but let's not forget the charm of those crackly, static-filled airwaves we grew up with. Ah, the golden days of radio! There's something about tuning in to your favorite station, praying that the signal comes in clear so you can enjoy the music without the distraction.Once a radio station ceases to exist, it's as if the very spirit of its history diappears. It's left like a whisper in the wind—only lingering in the minds of those who once tuned in. Take WHIT, for instance. There I was, a little girl in the 70s, listening to what felt like magic coming from a car radio as I enjoyed a ride. I have a notion that it was an AM station, broadcasting from somewhere that felt like a world away.I can almost hear the strains of Randy Newman's “Short People” floating through the air, mixed with the smooth vibe of Paul McCartney's “Silly Love Songs.” There was Charlie Dore crooning “Pilot of the Airwaves,” and Debbie Boone telling me, “You Light Up My Life.” How can I forget Melisa Manchester's “Don't Cry Out Loud,” or Candi Staton's “Run, Heart, Run Free”, and Yvonne Elliman's “If I Can't Have You.” Now, I don't know if I heard all these hits on WHIT specifically, but the memories are neatly tucked away with that station.And let's not overlook the charismatic Wolfman Jack—how could we forget the man who owned the airwaves? He spun records with the enthusiasm only a true radio DJ could muster.AM radio might have been fuzzier than a cat's fur, and the static could drive you nuts, but there was a certain warmth to those imperfect sounds. The music managed to shine through the noise, and that's what made it special. I didn't care about the interference; I was too busy lost in the melodies that carried my dreams.

2 Corinthians 12:2-10 A sermon by the Very Rev. Bernard J Owens given on July 7, 2024 from Trinity Cathedral.

What is Open Source and why is it changing the world?'The Cathedral & The Bazaar' by Eric S. Raymond is a collection of essays describing the ethics, philosophy, history and implementation of the Open Source movement. As computer hardware became available to larger groups many wanted to play & tinker with their devices. Closed Source software (owned by companies) was restrictive so people worldwide began to collaborate on projects that was free to download and use. This resulted in a unique culture and economic incentives that gave rise to hugely influential software like the Linux operating system.Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(1:45) - Themes/Questions(9:02) - Personal Lessons(17:41) - Author & Extras(21:33) - Summary(24:12) - Value 4 Value(26:13) - Join Live!Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastConnect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast

Barry and Abigail discuss Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Music from the Original Motion Picture) by Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer and sample Green Zebra Watermelon, Green Zebra Peach, Green Zebra Pineapple, and Green Zebra Mango from Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Barry revealed that the first song in the end credits of a film is eligible for an Oscar nomination. The David Byrne song This Is a Life that we briefly discussed in Byrned-Again (David Byrne and Lincoln & South Brewing) was nominated based on its presence in the end credits of Every Everything Everywhere All at Once. Barry and Abigail discussed the tendency of Disney animators to recycle various scenes in multiple movies. Watch some examples! Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron was directed by Kelly Asbury, whose monochrome books were staples in the Hummel household when Abigail was a child. Barry entered Get Off My Back into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with Windy by The Association. Don't Let Go reminded Abigail of the Xanadu soundtrack, particularly Suddenly. Listen to our discussion of Xanadu in our episode Can I Do (Xanadu Soundtrack and English Beers). Run Free reminded Abigail of Stampede, the song played over the wildebeest stampede scene in The Lion King (also composed by Hans Zimmer!). Barry saw zebras “in the wild” at Hearst Castle. The woodwinds in The Long Road Back reminded Abigail of the music of R. Carlos Nakai, a Native American flutist with Navajo-Ute heritage.

Psalm 119:25-32 -- Dependence on God's Word is the Remedy for the Cast Down to Run Free

AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports on IRS Free Filing.

An amazing statistic has been circulating among people who follow crime in Washington, D.C. In 2022, the U.S. attorney in Washington, appointed by President Joe Biden, declined to prosecute 67% of all arrests in the city. That's not 67% of all crimes committed. It's 67% of instances in which police have identified, captured, and charged a suspect. Prosecutors just let them go.

From Couch Potato to Ultra Marathoner?  – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 164 with Randy Kreill Cancer happened in late 2004, less than two years after Randy Kreill resigned from the work force with nearly 24 years towards a pension with the Dayton Daily News. After leaving the task of building his advertising sales "territory", he dove into full-time parenting to his three daughters. Since then, building a family with his wife, Megan, has been top priority and the greatest gift.  After Randy's second thyroid cancer surgery, he asked the surgeon how a relatively healthy male gets that type of cancer at age 42. The doctor's answer was nonsensical; "for all we know it falls from the sky.” Randy smelled BS and searched high and low for answers, for years. Slowly his wellness improved. That years long search for the truth led him to "connecting most of the dots" after reading Born To Run in early 2010. While he'd already downsized homes in '99, during the post cancer years, his interest in minimalism grew as he learned of the health benefits of the Tarahumara lifestyle. He was searching for the ideal "hobby" and found it to be ultra-running, minimalist. As much a lifestyle as a "sport", Randy has completed 25 official 100 mile foot races, all in minimalist footwear, most in sandals sans socks, and all on a completely plant food fueled nutrition plan since December 10, 2010. He is currently working to finish building a home he's been in for well over 20 years, hoping to downsize again.  As a full-time parent in the suburbs of Ohio, in 2011, Randy took up ultra-running and never stopped. "Born To Run, Experiments in Truth" began then, with no letting up. While the average ultra-runner is into it for about 3.5 years, he's run over 80 ultra marathons, with just one early overuse injury requiring medical intervention during the summer of '11. Randy has adopted the best habits of the Raramuri as a long term experiment. This includes their more cooperative and less competitive mindset, along with barefoot, ultra-distances, sandals, and plant sourced foods. Since that stress fracture to the fibula during his first 50K, he's avoided spending a penny with chiropractors and orthopedists. Randy has been a Xero super fan since the early days of "Invisible Shoes." He took "Run Free" literally and has been actively helping Xero Shoes grow via their affiliate program. In return, his many race fees are covered via referrals without impacting his family's budget. Not only does he get thousands of miles from a pair of Xero shoes or sandals, but he's also a regular wearer, tester, and reviewer, so he has a Xero product for virtually everything. Randy learned quickly that if his financial investment was low for running, he could run many more races in beautiful places, meeting wonderful people all along. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Randy Kreill about transitioning from a couch potato to an ultra-marathoner. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How running barefoot makes you a better runner and promotes living a healthier life. - Why you should only focus on getting healthier, instead of the disease, if you're diagnosed with cancer. - How easy it is to lose sight of your health when you're consumed by your career. - Why animal sourced foods mess with your body's chemistry. - How you need to have a good diet to have healthy bones.

“It's well understood that this chronic disease (type 2 diabetes) is linked to lifestyle. Combine a diet high in sugar (including fruits, honey, and starch, all of which turn into varying amounts of sugar when digested) with a lack of exercise and the results will be type 2 diabetes with the miserable complications that come with it.” (An excerpt from Dr. Richard Jacoby, co-author of Sugar Crush: How to Reduce Inflammation, Reverse Nerve Damage, and Reclaim Good Health.” I want to welcome you back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results.  For today's episode #275, we will revisit one of my favorite episodes #117[i] on “The Damaging Impact of Sugar on the Brain and Body” to review what we covered, and see if there's anything else important that the research has revealed. There's a lot that's NEW with this topic, but as I reviewed this past episode, I had completely forgotten some of the details we covered a few years ago, that are very important.  Today we will cover:  ✔What sugar does to the brain, cognition and well-being. ✔How sugar contributes to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's Disease. ✔That we all have individual journeys on our pathway towards optimal health and well-being. ✔Where my health took a turn towards wellness in 2005 and again in 2014 with the hope that my health story will give you some thoughts with your health story. ✔We looked at 2 people's blood glucose results to see what each person learned from using a glucose monitor. ✔3 Tips You Can Implement Immediately for Improved Health, Clarity and Well-Being. You can review this past episode by clicking on the link in the show notes but for today's episode, we are going to dive a bit deeper with what sugar does to the brain, body, cognition and our health by tying in what has emerged since that first episode. We will look at the results of two people who've been tracking their blood glucose levels with the Freestyle Libre Glucose Monitor[ii]  to see what patterns emerge eating certain foods. The first individual we will look at, had A1C levels that have recently gone into the danger zone, signaling type-2 diabetes, showing an A1C level of over 8.5 on a recent blood test. I'm the second chart, and am not insulin resistant, but know that sugar doesn't work for me at all. I don't need a blood test to know that it makes me feel horrendous. My A1C levels sit around 5.8, which is in line with someone on a lower carbohydrate, and higher fat diet.[iii] This episode is not about the best diet to choose and when I sat down to write this, I quickly saw that this topic of health, especially as it relates to nutrition is such a challenging and difficult one to cover, as not one size fits all. I do want to acknowledge that there are many different diet plans out there, and that I'm not here to say one is better than another. I recognize that it's downright frustrating when you are doing everything the right way, (eating clean and exercising) and you are seeing zero results. This seems to be especially true in the area of weight loss, where I recently saw a post from Chris Cornell, who shares his weight loss strategies on Twitter, and asked what ended up being a highly controversial question “why are most people unable to achieve significant and sustainable weight (fat) loss through lifestyle modifications?” He added “I'm guessing some people have something amiss with their regulatory mechanism. For many, I believe it's that they are unable to regulate the crap foods they've been eating.” I'll share what I learned over the past few weeks that might shed some light into why it's so difficult to make shift with what we eat, and why one bad food choice can often set us up to sabotage ourselves to continue making poor food choices with that snowball effect.  Today we will put the focus on what we can control (using the data I uncovered with this glucose monitor) to inform our action steps at the end of this episode. There's so much to this problem that includes things we can't control (our heredity, hormones, stress levels to name a few factors) so I'm going to make it easy.   Let's focus ONLY on what sugar does to the brain and body. I want to acknowledge that we are all different, and your path is probably going to be different from mine, but I'm sure some of what I will share will resonate with you. We all hit a point where we know something isn't right, and go to the doctor looking for a solution. I really don't believe in accidents, and when we “feel” like something is off with our health, I think it's important to listen to our intuition here, and look into it. My journey towards looking for the “right diet” plan began in 2005 (before I had children) when I was looking for a solution for why my feet were going numb during exercise, and there were many twists and turns along the way, before things began to “click” for me. When I felt that something was off with numbness in my feet,  I went to a foot doctor to look for answers. Looking back now, this decision, I think moved the needle of health and wellness the most for me personally over the past 2 decades, as the foot doctor I went to see was Dr. Richard Jacoby, the author of Sugar Crush: How to Reduce Inflammation, Reverse Nerve Damage and Reclaim Good Health.[iv] Dr. Jacoby[v] took one look at me and said “you don't look like the typical patient I usually see.  People come to me in their late 50s and 60s” (I was around 33 back then and people who were in their 50s (like I am today) were ancient to me so I was starting to think I was in the wrong place). He went on to say that people came in with different types of health problems, and his job was to help them solve these problems.” Over the years, he became excellent with his advice for people, leading him to appear in many of those Top Doctor Lists for 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010) and he just asked his patients to do 2 things. He asked them to eliminate sugar from their diet, and make sure they are taking omega-3 fatty acids, since most Americans are deficient here.[vi]  I started to think maybe my running shoes were too tight and felt bad for wasting his time, as I didn't think his advice was going to help me, but I looked at him and said, “that's easy enough” as I was already doing one of his suggestions. Next was to eliminate sugar, which I did, not know how much it would completely change my health. Of course, our health requires constant work, and this change didn't last forever. My next turn was around 2014, 10 years later. I remember cooking my children dinner, standing at the stove, and not knowing what I should eat, leading me to google “healthy eating” and that led me to the work of fitness model and trainer, Jason Wittrock[vii], known as the blood sugar king. Jason is on a war against diabetes and obesity, that we will mention a bit later on this episode. The point here is that there's no straight line. I think we all have our own individual path to figure out with our own “individual secrets” to unlock our optimal levels of health, and I've still not figured all of mine out yet, but as I'm approaching age 52, I feel better now, than I did at age 30. Dr. Jacoby's book Sugar Crush says it all. He says that:  It was not an accident that I ended up at Dr. Jacoby's offices that day, and I thought about him while actually measuring my glucose levels for this episode. Before I get to the results of what each of us discovered in this process of measuring our glucose levels, I think it's important to note what we learned on that first episode that I had forgotten because we can't remember everything, just what's important to us—and this is very important at the moment.  Since last week's episode was about “Building a Faster, Stronger, Resilient Brain, by Understanding Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)”[viii] or the compound that Dr. Ratey says is crucial for preventing cognitive decline and Alzheimer's Disease. I want to focus this episode on something Dr. Ratey said that really made me think. He said, did you know that “High glucose levels are toxic to the brain, and limits the production of this glorious compound BDNF that has such a profound effect on cognition and well-being?” Dr. Ratey's quote made me think back to a BONUS episode I did for Podbean's Wellness week[ix] that goes right along with what Dr. Ratey said. It was a quote from Dr. David Perlmutter, who wrote the foreword to Dr. Ratey's book Go Wild![x] and it was Dr. Perlmutter's documentary on Alzheimer's Disease that made me think hard about our Top 5 Health and Wellness staples. Dr. Perlmutter said DID YOU KNOW THAT: Sugar in the brain “looks like Alzheimer's” in the brain, and that “60% of cognitive decline is related to how you handle blood sugar?”[xi]  He says that “elevated blood sugar shrinks the brain.”  I had to take these words and create a visual to bring this to light. Sometimes you can hear the words of something, but until you can actually see and feel the words come to life, like the image I put in the show notes, there isn't as much meaning to what we might be reading. I think the image of a healthy brain, next to a severely shrunken Alzheimer's brain, is an image I'll never forget. It was sugar that caused this brain to shrink.   Remember that quote from Dr. Dale Bredesen from our last episode that said: Why would any of us knowingly choose this for ourselves? Why would we buy each other gifts at holidays that include things that science reveals are toxic to the brain? Why do teachers reward children with candy at school? Why do we stand around eating cake at the end of a church service? I know, because it tastes good. But it's here we will take the information we are learning, connect the dots to form knowledge and then apply this knowledge to become wise. This is where we go from theory to practice with this podcast. I might be told I'm a bit on the boring side these days, as I'm cutting out all the food that are fun for us, but I'm doing this with the purpose of improving clarity, focus and performance on a day to day basis. WHAT DID WE LEARN BY MEASURING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS? I'm sure you've seen people measuring their blood sugar, and sharing how this data helps them to make better choices with the foods they eat. I first saw this device with Jason Wittrock,[xii] who we mentioned earlier, and interviewed on EP 94[xiii]. If you go to his Instagram page, you'll see many tests he's done with a variety of different foods, drinks and snacks to see how each one affects his blood sugar levels, and there were many surprises.  If you're curious, go to his page and look at his tests, especially when he tested white rice. It was interesting that hot white rice spiked his blood sugar into the danger zone, but when he applied the cooling theory and put the rice in the fridge for 24 hours, it kept his blood sugar in the safe zone. He mentions at the end of every episode that the foods that took his blood sugar into the danger zone should be avoided by someone who is insulin resistant or who has type 2 diabetes. Week 1: Feb 3-10  You can see my week one blood sugar averages as very stable, around 96 mg, with no spikes anywhere.  That first week, I almost gave up measuring as I pretty much eat the same foods every day and I was getting the same spikes every day. Around 9am I eat breakfast (usually Ezekiel bread with peanut butter) and you can see this is typically when my blood sugar spikes the most, around 9am. Since I'm not diabetic, my blood sugar goes back to normal pretty quickly.  Around 12pm I'll have a protein shake with almond milk, (with strawberries, avocado, spinach and fiber) that doesn't spike blood sugar, and usually around 3pm I'll have eggs (sometimes with bacon) with the other avocado half. Everything on my chart was predictable, no surprises, even on the days that I ate some chocolate, something I do when I have writing blocks. Since I'm not diabetic or insulin resistant, small amounts of sugar don't seem to do much to my blood sugar. But look at what happened when I travelled in week 2.  Week 2, I was away from home, and ate something I don't usually eat. Normally, I bring food with me when I travel, as it does save money and time trying to find a place to eat, but this time, it was a quick trip, so I didn't.  Look at the second graph in the show notes and you can see what happened when I was away for the weekend. You will see 2 times my blood sugar rose up. Once with a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread from a place called Jersey Mikes around 3pm, and again around 9pm that night. I usually follow an eating schedule where I would never eat past 5:30pm at night (intermittent fasting where I don't eat for a 16 hour window, and eat healthy foods in an 8 hour window) but the event we were at ended late, so a group of us decided to order food from a local Thai restaurant. I love Thai food (especially Pad Thai) so that's what I ordered. This meal (that was delicious) but it took my blood sugar way over 200, putting me in the danger zone with this meal. It did stable out in the night, but here's what was interesting for me. Whenever I eat something off my usual plan, I feel starving the next day. It just messes up the whole next day for me, and while it was worth it to sit and enjoy a meal with others, it is good to know what happens to our body when we overload it with high glucose foods.  If you look at the second graph, the next day, my blood sugar kept dipping too low (where it dipped low and was showing red, was when I felt insanely hungry) and it would've been easy to eat something else off the usual menu, showing how one choice can impact the series of choices you make over the next few days. This was eye-opening to me.  Now let's look at the graph of someone who has just crossed the threshold of being diabetic. I didn't even pick a sugary food for this example, which would have obviously spiked blood sugar.  What happens to someone who is diabetic?  “Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood sugar (also called blood glucose) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia. When you eat, your body breaks food down into sugar and sends it into the blood. Insulin then helps move the sugar from the blood into your cells.”[xiv]  For a person with diabetes, there is a problem with insulin. But, not everyone with diabetes has the same problem. There are different types of diabetes—type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your cells make extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time your pancreas can't make enough insulin to keep your blood sugar at normal levels. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older adults but can appear in young people. WEEK 1 with TYPE 2 DIABETIC PERSON: Week 1 he noticed spikes with foods that were high in carbs (like bread) that stayed high well into the night and only started to come down to normal levels by 9am.  The obvious take-away from this was that for someone who has passed the threshold with diabetes, or in the danger zone that they will eventually need to see the doctor to take medicine to keep their blood sugar levels stable. For some people, diet and exercise could be the answer to regulate blood sugar, but if your blood sugar is staying high, for too long, remember “glucose in the brain is toxic to the brain” and that “elevated blood sugar shrinks the brain” or even that “sugar in the brain looks like Alzheimer's in the brain. If you are insulin resistant or have type 2 diabetes, then knowing how your body reacts to sugar could be the difference between life and death. WEEK 2   Be careful of thinking "I've got this" and make a poor food choice. Here's the graph after eating homemade pizza. A better choice for pizza dough would be cauliflower pizza dough that you can find at your local grocery store that keeps blood sugar levels stable. Once you have seen and felt a blood sugar spike, especially for someone working hard to keep their blood sugar levels stable, this was enough to make this person choose foods that did not cause a blood sugar spike and glucose levels remained under 150. Until they thought “oh I've got this blood sugar thing” and made homemade pizza with store bought dough, you will see this raised his blood sugar well into the danger zone over 200, just like my Pad Thai. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION So taking what we learned from our last episode on the damaging impacts of sugar on the brain, we know that glucose is toxic to the brain, so a person with this data would now need to make a data informed decision to not eat foods that spike their blood sugar.  This is one of those things that's easier said than done. How do you make huge lifestyle changes like this? I think it gets to the point that you'll do it if your life depends on it. Like I remember that math teacher, Sergei with tears in his eyes on the hiking trail. You'll make changes when your doctor tells you loud and clear you have no other option.  Make room for your health or you'll need to make room for your illness.  We will conclude this episode with some tips on how to make actionable changes if you don't know where to begin in your journey towards improved health and well-being. TIP 1: LEARN WHAT FOODS ARE LOW-GLYCEMIC and replace what you used to eat (that spiked your blood sugar) with something else that doesn't. This is going to be the biggest change as I remember looking at Dr. Jacoby and saying, “you mean bananas are high in sugar?” and he said “yes” and handed me a list of low glycemic fruits that included blueberries and raspberries (that Jason Wittrock tested and they kept his blood sugar low).  I found some great resources for low glycemic foods from Dr. Daniel Amen.[xv] TIP 2: DISCOVER THE MEAL PLAN THAT MAKES YOU FEEL THE BEST: There's so many different options and I only chose the meal plan I eat because in my late 20s I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome[xvi] (the most common causes of female infertility) and who would have known that the diet plan that would work the best for me, and completely reverse this health problem, was to eat a diet similar to someone who is diabetic. I bought the PCOS Diet Book[xvii] that surprisingly was written to also help protect someone against diabetes and heart disease. TIP 3: READ LABELS Read Labels and Know How to Identify Sugar to Make Better Choices: It's shocking how many foods have hidden sugars. Did you know “The average American consumes 150 lbs. of sugar a year” (Dr. Amen) This makes sense when there's so many foods labeled as healthy, with hidden sugars added. Making the following changes will change your brain, improve cognition, focus and help lead you towards improved results, and away from diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease. I hope you find these tips as helpful as I did. I only discovered this pathway because I so happened to book an appointment with a doctor who believes that peripheral neuropathy (that numbness I felt in my feet during exercise) is an early sign for what he's seen in his patients over the years… The final thoughts come from Dr. Jacoby, who pleads with us: I'd love to hear what you think of this episode! Do you know how YOUR body responds to sugar? Have you ever measured your glucose levels? This data will help inform many of your decisions related to the foods you will eat. I know I'm going to stick to eating those low glycemic foods that keep my blood sugar levels and hunger levels stable, until I make it back to my hometown in Toronto, where I'll order a Hawaiian slice at the famous Pizza Pizza with extra pineapple, and I'll enjoy every bite of it, because you only live once!

Big Cat Rescue's bobcat rehab team released two more rehabbed wild bobcats, Makani and Kekoa, back to the wild. Both bobcats took one last look back at the group before darting off to the woods together. As nature intended, these two wild cats now know the freedom that is their birthright. They are now free to live a natural life in the wilderness of Florida. It is exciting and a little sad for those who have watched these two wildcats grow from kittens into feisty adults ready to take on the challenge of thriving in the wild. Exciting to know these two wild bobcats will have great adventures and know there are no more cages for these two cats. Sad, because we will miss them. However, we are far more excited for them than we are sad for ourselves. The rehab team, led by Jamie Veronica, puts a lot of time and great effort into finding large forest areas that have plenty of space, prey, and water, and are as far from humans as possible. Now, they can sleep under the stars with no wire to look through. Join us in wishing these two precious wildcats the best as they are now home for Christmas. We hope their holiday season is filled with the joy of freedom.

Why did I want the legendary Ryan Hall on The CLS Experience? This one's simple. He's one of the greatest US long distance runners of all time who holds an abundance of world records, and his book made a gigantic impact on my life personally, especially on my running journey. Without further ado On today's episode of The CLS Experience we have a very special treat. He's a retired American long distance runner who holds an abundance of world records such as the half marathon with a blistering 59 minutes and 43 seconds where he became the first US runner to break the 1 hour barrier. He also holds the record in the full Marathon where he became the only American to run a sub 2:05 with a relentless 2:04:58. He's considered by many to be one of the all time greatest American long distance runners. He retired in 2016 and has since reinvented himself completely transforming his body and goals. He's a coach, mentor, and runs a tremendous training program called Run Free.

Maggie Seymour, a Major in the US Marine Corps Reserve and Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State, and (drum roll please)......an avid ultra runner. But not just any runner. She is a runner on a mission. Check out this episode where we talk about her mission and the stigma of running while pregnant. So random! But we go where the conversation needs to take us.  She's a small-town Midwestern girl at heart who believes in the power of hard work, education, community, and carbs. In 2017 she ran across the nation to raise awareness and support for those who supported her during her military career. Now she's setting out to run across the rest of the 50 states benefitting the causes you care about the most. You can read about that at www.runfreerun.com She is an ACE certified personal trainer and health coach, an RRCA Level II certified run coach, and USATF Level I certified track and field coach with Hart Strength and Endurance Coaching. In her off the road life, she holds a BA in Political Science, an MA in Military History, an MA in Journalism, and a PhD in International Studies. She is currently working on a Masters in Sociology and a Masters in Joint Leadership. When Maggie is not running she's working, writing, cooking/baking, studying, or chasing after her 1 yr old son with the help of her 11-yr-old stepdaughter and partner.CONNECT WITH MAGGIE:INSTAGRAMWEBSITETWITTERFACEBOOK

The New York Times recently covered Markelle Taylor's story after he ran a 2:52 marathon in Boston at age 49, just one week after he was released from parole after serving an 18 year prison sentence in San Quentin State Prison in Northern California.  We reached out to Markelle, who graciously agreed to come on our podcast and share his journey from hurt to healing, which led him to the transformative 1000 Mile Running Club and the nickname, Markelle the Gazelle.  Markelle ran four marathons within San Quentin and broke the club record when he ran a marathon in 3:16.  Just six weeks after his release from prison, Markelle ran the Boston Marathon in 3:03 in 2019.  Markelle will be featured, along with several other members of the San Quentin 1000 Mile Running Club in the soon-to-be-released documentary, 26.2 to Life: San Quentin Marathon Documentary.  We appreciated Markelle's willingness to share his journey with us.  Please check out the links below for more information.  Markelle's story in the New York Times:  https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/23/sports/boston-marathon-markelle-taylor.html 26.2 to Life: San Quentin Marathon Documentary: https://www.sanquentinmarathon.com Email Markelle about his clothing line, Run Free - markelleruns@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/runfartherandfaster/message
