In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay dives into a topic that's sure to challenge the status quo—popular ADHD multivitamins. With eye-catching labels and lofty promises, these supplements flood our social media feeds and store shelves. But are they really helping our kids? Dana reveals why most of these well-marketed products are nothing more than expensive band-aids—and what to focus on instead. Dana Kay is an ADHD health practitioner, author, and parent who knows firsthand what it's like to navigate the overwhelming world of ADHD solutions. Through her journey with her own son, Dana has discovered the power of root-cause healing and targeted support. In this episode, she unpacks why testing—not guessing—is the key to identifying what your child truly needs to thrive, and how functional lab testing, dietary changes, and gut healing are essential steps on that path.

It's like trying to pour water into a clogged funnel. You wouldn't try to fix your car without popping the hood first. Many of these brands include synthetic forms of vitamins that are poorly absorbed. You can't supplement your way out of a poor diet or a body riddled with inflammation. We test, we don't guess. There's a big difference between supplementing randomly and supplementing for targeted issues. More isn't always better—you need the right ones. Popular multivitamins are like throwing handfuls of seeds into the soil—without checking if the soil is dry. That's when your child starts thriving—not just surviving. Dana Kay Resources:

In deze nieuwe aflevering van de Sitcomcast duiken we in de iconische Britse sitcom Absolutely Fabulous! Van Edina's extravagante outfits tot Patsy's eindeloze reeks glaasjes champagne—deze serie is een explosie van excentrieke humor en scherpe satire. We bespreken hoe Jennifer Saunders en Joanna Lumley de perfecte dynamiek neerzetten als Edina Monsoon en Patsy Stone, en waarom de serie zo'n cultstatus heeft bereikt. De satirische kijk op de modewereld en celebrity-cultuur is vandaag de dag nog steeds hilarisch en pijnlijk accuraat. Uiteraard kunnen we het niet laten om de meest memorabele momenten, iconische oneliners en favoriete afleveringen te benoemen. Daarnaast gaan we in op de oorsprong van Absolutely Fabulous en hoe de serie voortkwam uit een sketch in French and Saunders. We kijken naar de invloed op latere komedies en de popcultuur, en bespreken waarom Edina's dochter Saffron misschien wel de echte held van de serie is. Ook delen we onze persoonlijke hoogte- en dieptepunten van de show. Pak er een glas Bollinger bij en luister mee naar een heerlijke dosis Britse humor en nostalgie!

"Rhodiola is like a built-in stress shield for the brain. It helps calm that chaos, sharpen focus, and smooth out emotional roller coasters." "In just one week, people taking Rhodiola felt less stressed, more focused, and mentally sharper." "Rhodiola was compared to the antidepressant sertraline, also known as Zoloft. While sertraline had stronger effects, Rhodiola had fewer side effects and was better tolerated." "Research shows Rhodiola may enhance memory and learning by helping neurons in the brain communicate better." "OPCs are antioxidants found in blueberries, grapes, and dark chocolate, and they help protect the brain while strengthening the blood-brain barrier." "One study found that drinking blueberry juice, which is rich in OPC flavanols, for 12 weeks improved working memory, blood flow to the brain, and cognitive performance in adults." "Ginkgo and ginseng act like stimulants without the side effects, and studies show they may help improve attention and dopamine levels in kids with ADHD." "Herbs are powerful, even though they're natural. They can interact with medications, so always consult a professional." "There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Functional lab testing can help determine which nutrients and herbs your child actually needs." Dana Kay Resources:

In this episode of fx Medicine by BioCeuticals, host Lisa Costa-Bir speaks with naturopathic physician and nootropic expert Dr Greg Kelly about the evolving role of nootropics in supporting cognitive performance. Greg shares how plant-based and nutritional compounds - including bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), saffron (Crocus sativus), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), alpinia (Alpinia galanga), L-theanine, and nicotinamide riboside - can enhance focus, memory, motivation, and mental energy. The conversation explores how these agents work through key pathways such as acetylcholine signalling, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function. Greg also unpacks the concept of brain resource depletion, the impact of modern distractions, and why nootropics are just as relevant for healthy individuals as they are for those with cognitive challenges. He offers practical guidance on stacking, cycling, and how to support non-responders by returning to foundational naturopathic principles like sleep, nutrition, and stress management. This episode is packed with practical, science-backed takeaways for anyone looking to optimise focus, memory, motivation, and overall cognitive performance - whether in clinical practice or everyday life.

"Some parents are seeing equal efficacy to prescription ADHD medications with Pro Essentials, which combines Zembrin, spore-forming probiotics, and saffron extract." "The more this podcast gets shared and the more reviews we get, the more we spread the word to families that there are natural alternatives out there." Dana Kay Resources:

Seeing as it's now autumn, a number of bulbs can be planted in the garden. Here's a few of them: Tulip A fabulous early spring colour. There's some historical stuff with the Dutch making heaps of money out of often virus-ridden “varieties” (early 1600-s AD) selling them for Fl 3000.00 per bulb (while the average yearly wage of a skilled craftsman was around Fl 300.00) – the bulb bubble burst in 1637 AD. These days they are a bit cheaper and more reliable. They grow well in South Island with very cool winters – up north they need winter chilling (taking out of the soil and put in fridge for 8 weeks). In mild climates it pays to plant later in the year, in May or June. But in South Island, planting the bulbs can start in a few weeks; order them now! Great bulb outlets: Bulbs direct Garden Post NZBulbs Fiesta Bulbs Hadstock Farm in Springston Work the soil to 20 cm deep in sunny to semi-shade positions(bulbs prefer well-drained soils). Plant 15 cm spaced and 15 cm deep – in warmer climates, plant them a bit deeper (20 cm deep). A bit of mulch over the planting site will keep weeds down. Bulb fertiliser is recommended and after flowering, some blood and bone will feed the green leaves. Do NOT cut those green leaves after flowering: they gather sunlight (photosynthesis) for re-stocking the food reserves inside the bulbs underground. Narcissus Daffodils Prep the soil to 40 cm or so – daffodils' roots go way down! Plant them 10 cm deep and spaced to 10 cm apart. Well-drained soils work best – perhaps under deciduous trees. Hagley Park is a great example. Planting them in full sun is okay too. Mass planting works well, and the bulbs will come up year after year. They are not as fussy as tulips in terms of cool winter soils. Apart from the far north, the whole of New Zealand is daffodil country. Bulbs will multiply. Crocus: the lovely smelling spring flowers Plant the corms in autumn a couple of centimetres deep and closely-spaced for best effect – they are best lifted after the foliage dies down. Of course, Saffron is a crocus, but it flowers in Autumn (March). Leucojum, also known as snowflake It has a special place in my heart: we used to have a rare and endangered native species in the wetlands where I used to roam as a nature nerd in the Netherlands. Many different varieties now – flowering in early spring, planting in early April. Bulbs in containers Most of these bulbs do well in containers. Picture a terracotta pot with these plants massed together – you can shift them inside when they flower to enjoy, or put them on the patio so you see them through the ranch-slider.

Did you know that 95% of children with ADHD may be missing one critical nutrient that affects mood, sleep, sensory processing, and picky eating? In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay, ADHD health practitioner and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute, takes a deep dive into zinc deficiency—a common but often overlooked factor in ADHD symptoms. She explains how low zinc disrupts dopamine, worsens hyperactivity, and even creates a vicious cycle of picky eating by altering taste perception. Dana also breaks down simple ways to check for zinc deficiency, including an easy at-home taste test, and shares the best food sources and supplements to restore zinc balance. Plus, she explains the zinc-copper connection, why high copper levels can lead to more meltdowns, and how to test your child's zinc levels accurately. If you want to help your child thrive naturally, this episode is packed with actionable insights and science-backed strategies to get started!

"Zinc affects mood swings, picky eating, sleep, and sensory processing, yet most parents have no idea their child is deficient." "When zinc is low, copper levels rise, burning through dopamine and leading to more hyperactivity, mood swings, and meltdowns." "Low zinc levels are linked to ADHD symptoms, impulsivity, and even sensory issues like difficulty processing sounds and textures." "If your child gets sick more often than others, has white spots on their nails, or struggles with taste sensitivity, zinc deficiency could be the cause." "The Zinc Assay Taste Test is a quick way to check for zinc deficiency—if it tastes like water, your child likely needs more zinc!" "Zinc plays a crucial role in dopamine production, brain function, and emotional regulation—yet most doctors won't even test for it properly." "Testing zinc plasma, not zinc serum, is the most accurate way to check for a true zinc deficiency." "My favorite zinc supplement is Pure Encapsulations Zinc Liquid—gentle, well-absorbed, and easy to adjust." "I challenge parents to try the at-home zinc test and DM me their results—let's see just how many kids are actually zinc deficient!" Dana Kay Resources:

There are times when the calendar decides it wants to be your friend — like your birthday falling on a Saturday or St. Patrick's Day coinciding with the first day of the NCAA men's basketball tournament (that one really only applies to bar owners and Notre Dame fans).Today, the calendar has smiled on your humble This Bites hosts, because our regularly scheduled episode release day just so happens to be Pi Day. And we get a layup of a lead item.While acknowledging that math is important, we can all agree that the superior homonym for this particular date is Pie Day. Ah, pie. It's a versatile concoction that covers pretty much every phase of the dining experience, from appetizer to dessert. Obviously, the latter is its idealized form, and we start the podcast by giving you a few of our favorite places in Milwaukee to pick one up.We don't want to steal Ann's thunder since she put some real sweat equity into her full list at Milwaukee Magazine, so let's just do the top three here:Honeypie — Home of some of the more inventive varieties you'll find in the area, past examples of which include whiskey walnut pecan and bourbon fudge.The Bake Sale — A pie gathering place, if you will, featuring baked goods made in-house and others from local vendors.Elegant Farmer — You'll have to haul yourself to Mukwonago for this one, but their apple pie baked in a paper bag is reportedly worth the drive.That should get you started, but feel free to bounce over to Milwaukee Magazine for the other half of the list and lots of helpful info from Ann. The magazine is also where we start our weekly roundup, although it's a print-only situation, so make sure you track down a copy of the March 2025 issue:And this is one you'll want to get your hands on, because it runs you through the very top restaurants in the area.On the magazine website, Ann collected her latest dining tidbits, from gluten-free goodies to a quietly great Thai spot.The former Al Bazzar on the South Side is now Al Wadi Coffee House.With its third anniversary coming up this June, Saffron refreshed its tastes of India on a brand-new menu.

In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay explores the critical role of Vitamin D in children with ADHD.

"Vitamin D plays a vital role in neurodevelopment and dopamine production, which are key for focus, planning, and emotional regulation." "You can't just take Vitamin D without understanding how it works—especially when it comes to Vitamin K2." "When people supplement with Vitamin D without K2, it can actually create health issues, including cardiovascular problems." "The best way to get Vitamin D is through food first—then consider supplementation if necessary." "Most grocery store aisles are lined with Vitamin D options, but not all supplements are created equal." "If you're going to supplement with Vitamin D, make sure it's formulated thoughtfully to avoid depleting your body of other essential nutrients." "Functional lab testing helps families take a targeted approach instead of just guessing which supplements their child actually needs." "Supplements should support the body, not create new problems—so be sure to choose wisely." Dana Kay Resources:

Eight threads of saffron a day can improve visual acuity in older adults with mild or moderate age-related macular degeneration.

Kashmiri filmmaker Arfat Sheikh began his long career at the age of 16 as a radio jockey for Radio Kashmir. Because he could speak English, this opened doors for him to pursue narration and film. Over many years this led him to Atlanta, to make Saffron Kingdom, a film that brought to light major issues that occurred in Kashmir. Although I worked on the movie, like most Americans, I had never heard of Kashmir. This is one of the most informative interviews I've ever done, and I was thrilled to have Arfat tell me about a culture that I didn't know existed. If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film entitled “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

From being a fringe political party in 2013 to sweeping nearly half of the state s forty-two Lok Sabha seats in 2019, the BJP has gained ground in West Bengal, aided partly by the RSS s exponential growth during Mamata Banerjee's chief ministerial tenure (2011 onwards). With a consistent and concerted criticism of the TMC, the saffron camp managed to create a strong wave of anti-incumbency. So much so that the BJP s prospects of forming the next government in Bengal in 2021 seemed to have brightened considerably, while the Left, which had ruled Bengal for over three decades, appears to have been reduced to a fringe political entity. However, the controversy over the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens, combined with Banerjee s course-correction drive, designed by strategist Prashant Kishor, indicate that she might yet script a turnaround, with Bengal turning into the laboratory of a unique political experiment.  Mission Bengal: A Saffron Experiment (HarperCollins India, 2020) documents the BJP s extraordinary rise in the state and attempts to look at these developments in the historical context of Bengal from the rise of Hindu nationalism and Muslim separatism in the nineteenth century, the Partition and its fallout, the impact of developments in Bangladesh, the influence of leftist ideals on the psyche of the Bengali people, to the demographic changes in the state over the past few decades.

"Kids who took fish oil supplements for three months showed improved behavior, reading, and spelling." "Omega-3s support brain function, mood regulation, memory, focus, and even reduce inflammation." "You can't supplement your way out of a poor diet riddled with inflammation." "Replacing processed and packaged goods with fresh, whole foods can significantly reduce inflammation." "Not all supplements are created equal—choose brands with transparent ingredient lists and high-quality standards." "Omega-3 supplementation is not a miracle cure, but it's a powerful tool when paired with natural strategies and dietary changes."

Why paraxanthine provides better mood, blood flow, and focus. How nootropics are full-spectrum rather than single-use. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Caffeine Energy "Not all nootropics are created equal. Caffeine is a nootropic by definition. Particularly what caffeine and energy drinks are missing is they're just giving you energy, but you have no ability to use it properly. They keep you awake but you're miserable." - Jeff Boyd Why Multitasking Is a Myth "Multitasking is a term that was made for computers. Humans cannot multitask. We can shift from one task to another in a nanosecond so it seems like we can multitask, but we are hardwired. We can only do one thing at a time." - Jeff Boyd Paraxanthine Gives You More Than Energy "Paraxanthine gives you smooth energy. It's increasing short-term memory, cognition under physical stress, and the ability to pay attention. That's more than energy. That's being able to have energy to then go deploy it, use it, and be your best self. What's the point otherwise?" - Jeff Boyd Links From Today's Show  Jeff Boyd MTE: 20% off with code "JOSH" 192 Jason Prall: The Human Longevity Project The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan The Psychic Roots of Disease by Bjorn Eybl Yellowstone (2018)   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 8, 2025 is: gelid • JELL-id • adjective Something described as gelid, such as the weather or a person's demeanor, is literally or figuratively extremely cold or icy. // She decided to move down south after experiencing Chicago's gelid winters throughout college. See the entry > Examples: “[Delish.com's assistant food editor, Taylor Ann] Spencer notes Oregon-based ice creamery Salt & Straw for ‘combos like Pistachio with Saffron, and Hibiscus and Coconut.' Other offerings there sound like a warm hug in gelid form: Jasmine Milk Tea laced with chocolate-coated almond slivers, or Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise.” — Kim Cook, The Chicago Sun-Times, 30 June 2023 Did you know? Alright stop, collaborate and listen: the history of gelid is all about ice, ice, baby. Gelid entered English late in the 16th century from the Latin adjective gelidus, which ultimately comes from the noun gelu, meaning “frost” or “cold.” (The noun gelatin, which can refer to an edible jelly that undergoes a cooling process as part of its formation, comes from the related Latin word, gelare, meaning “to freeze.”) Gelid is used to describe anything of extremely cold temperature (as in “the gelid waters of the Arctic Ocean”), but the word can also be used figuratively to describe a person with a cold demeanor (as in “the prizefighter's gelid stare”).

In this episode, Joe interviews Shauheen Etminan, Ph.D.: co-founder of VCENNA, a drug discovery and development company, and Magi Ancestral Supplements, which sells nootropics inspired by ancient Eastern traditions. He discusses his journey into the world of plant extraction, how he first discovered compounds like Haoma and Harmaline, and why he decided to bring Iranian tradition to the psychedelic renaissance. He explores the similarities between psychedelics and experiences found in mystical traditions, and how that historical context can inform modern psychedelic practice. He sees this exemplified most with dream recollection, attending to the emotions found within dreams, and the concept of wakeful dreaming, where one can access unconscious insights consciously, through the liminal (or hypnagogic) state between dreaming and wakefulness.  He discusses: Zoroastrianism and how the teachings of Zarathustra on understanding morality have inspired hi Syrian Rue in Iranian culture, and how it compares to the Banisteriopsis Caapi vine: Is it actually stronger than ayahuasca Henry Corbin's practice of embodied imagination and Jung's concept of active imaginatio Other less-discussed compounds he's interested in, like Ephedra and Saffron and more!

There are four orders in the āśrama: there's brahmachari, grihastha, vanaprastha, and sannyasa. Each one of these is very specifically to give facility at different eras, periods in one's life so that one can give one's full attention to Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's service. As Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 2.41): "vyavasāyātmikā buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana bahu-śākhā hy anantāś ca buddhayo 'vyavasāyinām." The idea Kṛṣṇa gives here is that unless you're fully dedicated to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and keep your mind fixed in one place on Kṛṣṇa and his service, then many branch. Varieties, apparently although sort of false varieties, everything's recycled in the material world. So this brahmachari āśrama is a special facility to give you full attention on your service and also to inspire others who see you and note that this is your only interest in life. You have no other business going on; you only have Kṛṣṇa's business in your life.

Hindu Nationalism in South India: The Rise of Saffron in Kerala (Routledge, 2024) engages with a range of factors that shapes the trajectory of Hindu nationalism in Kerala, the southern state of India. Until recently, Kerala was considered a socio-political exception which had no room for Hindu nationalism. This book questions such Panglossian prognosis and shows the need to map the ideological and political growth of Hindu nationalism which has been downplayed in the academic discourse as temporary aberrations. The introduction to the book places Kerala in the context of South India. Arguing that Hindutva is a real force which needs to be contended within theoretical and empirical terms, the chapters in this book examine Hindu nationalism in Kerala in relation to themes such as history, caste, culture, post-truth, ideology, gender, politics, and the Indian national space. Considering the rise of Hindu nationalism in the recent years, this pioneering book will be of interest to a students and academics studying Politics, in particular Nationalism, Asian Politics and Religion and Politics and South Asian Studies. Professor Mannathukkaren's main research interests are focused on left/communist movements, development and democracy, modernity, the politics of popular culture (esp., the politics of mass cultural forms like the media, cinema and sport), and Marxist and postcolonial theories. The thrust of his research has been to develop a theoretical and empirical critique of postcolonial theory and postmodern thought. At the same time, he has argued for a dialogue with postmodern-inspired frameworks of knowledge and to creatively integrate them to overcome the serious deficiencies of many modernist understandings of human social reality (which have translated into arrogant and teleological assumptions).
