Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – This is not just stock fraud. It is a quiet war — one waged without missiles, but no less destructive. A war in which IPOs become infiltration tools, platforms become vectors of harm, and trust itself is the primary casualty. Until this is recognized for what it is — unrestricted warfare — America will continue to bleed. Not from explosions, but from...

For decades, dietary guidelines—and the Food Pyramid in particular—have been at the center of heated debates and considerable controversy. These guidelines have often been accused of being influenced by industry interests, oversimplifying nutritional nuance, or even directly contributing to rising obesity and metabolic disease rates. In this episode, we critically assess common claims surrounding the Food Pyramid, including whether it was truly shaped by vested industry interests, if it encouraged harmful dietary shifts toward excessive carbohydrate and sugar consumption, and whether the subsequent health outcomes seen at the population level can be fairly attributed to these guidelines. Additionally, we evaluate the role of the sugar industry in funding key studies and publications, examining the implications such conflicts of interest may have had on nutritional science. Drawing on historical context, rigorous examination of scientific evidence, and an evaluation of how nutritional recommendations have evolved, this discussion aims to clarify misunderstandings, highlight legitimate criticisms, and separate fact from persistent myths regarding dietary guidance and its implications for health.

In this episode, I break down the pros and cons of the popular practice of consuming energy bars as a supposedly nutritious snack on the go. The inspiration for this show was an exciting spicy battle between health experts Dr. Layne Norton and Gary Brecka on Instagram, where they debated the merits of the new David High Protein bar. I talk about the ingredients in these bars, the processing methods, and the overall sketchy nature of the energy bar industry, even when the bars are touted as super healthy. I also reflect on the history of energy bars, my personal experience as one of the first PowerBar-sponsored athletes, and how the original idea of energy bars was for elite athletes, not for snacking during your workday. I challenge the whole premise of needing energy bars and advocate for metabolic flexibility, fasting, and focusing on nutritious meals instead. I share my go-to snacks, why I’m such a fan of dark chocolate, and why even the so-called cleanest protein bars are not a nutritional centerpiece. Let’s rethink our approach to energy bars and focus on fueling and recovering the right way! LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

What if the “therapist” you're pouring your heart out to… isn't a therapist at all? In this jaw-dropping episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, I'm joined by investigative journalists Rebecca Ruiz and Lauren Krause to expose the shocking truth behind Seven Cups Therapy and the dark world of therapy fraud—including unlicensed “helpers,” fake reviews, and predatory chatrooms masquerading as support. This isn't just about bad advice or unqualified "virtual counselors." It's about real people being misled, emotionally exploited, and sometimes even preyed upon while they're at their most vulnerable. We dive into how this happens, how to protect yourself (or someone you care about), and how to tell the difference between a real therapist and a clever imposter. If you've ever Googled "online therapy" late at night and clicked on what looked like a trustworthy, affordable platform, you NEED to hear this.

Chiropractor Brian Mann Convicted Poisoned Wife for $1 Million Insurance Scam An Alabama jury has found 36-year-old Brian Mann—once a well-regarded chiropractor in Hartselle—guilty of attempted murder for secretly dosing his estranged wife's “multivitamins” with lead and then taking out a stack of life-insurance policies on her worth more than $1 million. The verdict was read Thursday after roughly three hours of deliberations spread over two days. Mann now faces sentencing on August 27. Hannah Pettey, now 25, told jurors her nightmare began in August 2021 with crippling back and abdominal pain, dizzy spells, and relentless nausea. Over the next few months she shed 40 pounds, eventually hallucinating as her condition spiraled. Mann, she testified, insisted she stay home and keep taking the “immune boosters” he supplied from his clinic—capsules prosecutors say he spiked with lead salvaged from a construction project. While Pettey languished, Mann was busy buying “a lot of insurance policies,” each carrying six-figure payouts if she died. At least one agent testified the flurry of applications was so unusual it triggered an internal review. Mann even asked to raise existing coverage limits while she lay hospitalized. Pettey told jurors Mann appeared “the nicest he'd ever been” during her illness—bringing water, pills, and, crucially, ankle weights. She said he insisted she strap them on before doctor visits so the scale wouldn't reveal her drastic weight loss and jeopardize the new policies that required her to be in “good health.” When Pettey's mother finally rushed her to the hospital, specialists found her lead level hovering around 80 micrograms per deciliter—eight times the threshold considered dangerous. Physicians testified that any movement risked shifting pressure inside her skull; at one point, surgeons irrigated her colon to flush out residual metal. Despite aggressive treatment, Pettey still carries lead in her bones, suffers chronic hand pain, and has been told the poisoning likely left her infertile. As detectives closed in, Mann tried to cast himself—and even the couple's young children—as fellow victims, telling a nurse practitioner he'd spotted “lead fragments” in a self-administered X-ray. A hospital scan did show a suspicious mass in his stomach—but doctors said it appeared freshly swallowed, bolstering prosecutors' claims he ingested lead to stage a false parallel poisoning Pettey described years of manipulation: Mann deleted her social-media accounts, discouraged her from working, and limited contact with her family. Once the investigation began, relatives barred Mann from visiting her in the hospital—an action that initially left her “distraught” until the evidence of foul play became clear. Jurors convicted Mann of attempted murder, rejecting his defense that testing procedures were flawed and that he, too, had been poisoned. He remains in custody awaiting the August 27 sentencing hearing, where he could face decades in prison for a scheme prosecutors say was as methodical as it was merciless.

Motivational speakers started really gaining popularity in the 70s and 80s, the golden age of “self-help.” And in recent years, they've been even more in-demand, especially in the business world. You can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting some self-proclaimed entrepreneurial guru who claims to have the formula for success and would be happy to share it with you, if you sign up for their seminar for the low-low price of thousands of dollars. Or buy their TikTok course. But you don't have to get certified or trained to be a motivational speaker, and their industry is almost totally unregulated—meaning, anybody with a megawatt smile and a catchphrase can do it. And according to a Harvard study, most of these guys focus more on entertaining you than teaching you the way to win. It all makes you wonder—are the ones who claim to have all the answers really so enlightened? Well, today we're gonna tell you about two who most definitely weren't.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Ever wonder why toxic wellness culture has us dropping $80 on serums that don't work while wellness scams rake in billions targeting women who just want to feel better? I used to be that girl—clutching my overpriced celery juice, convinced the next biohacking trend would finally "fix" me, completely oblivious to how the wellness industry profits off our deepest insecurities. What if I told you that aging is not a disease to be cured, and that trillion-dollar industry built on essential oil wellness promises is actually designed to keep you coming back for more? Amy Larocca, award-winning journalist and author of "How to Be Well," is here to blow the lid off why wellness retreats feel like cults and how MLM schemes disguised as self-care are preying on our desire to belong.In today's episode, Amy and I dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about how the wellness industry specifically targets women, turning our natural desire for health and connection into profit margins. We're talking about everything from the psychology behind wellness scams to why "optimizing" ourselves has become another form of perfectionism that's keeping us stuck. If you've ever side-eyed your collagen gummies or wondered why that expensive retreat left you feeling more confused than transformed, this conversation is going to hit different.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why toxic wellness culture specifically targets women and how to spot the manipulation tactics before you fall for themThe real reason wellness scams are a $3.7 trillion industry—and it's not because the products actually workHow wellness retreats use cult-like psychology to make you feel like you belong (while emptying your wallet)Why MLM schemes disguised as essential oil wellness are preying on women's desire for community and financial freedomThe uncomfortable truth about biohacking trends and whether any of these "optimization" methods are actually helping youHow the wellness industry profits by convincing us that aging is a disease that needs expensive, complicated solutionsWhat Amy Larocca discovered during her deep dive into wellness communities—and why debunking doesn't workThe difference between actual health practices and commodified self-care that keeps you buying but never "fixed"This conversation with Amy hit me right in the gut because honestly, I've been that woman throwing money at wellness promises, hoping the next thing would finally make me feel "optimized." The truth is, we're all craving something real to believe in—but maybe what we're actually looking for isn't found in a $200 supplement or exclusive retreat. What if the real wellness revolution is learning to trust our own bodies and stop outsourcing our intuition to people who profit from our insecurities?

Drex breaks down three critical cybersecurity developments healthcare organizations need to monitor. First, escalating geopolitical tensions suggest increased cyber attacks from Iran and allied nations targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, including healthcare systems. Second, Vanderbilt University Medical Center reports sophisticated Microsoft Teams impersonation attacks where scammers pose as supervisors to request urgent actions like software installation or payments. Finally, deepfake fraud attempts skyrocketed 1300% in 2024, with new "spoofing as a service" platforms making AI-powered voice and video scams more accessible to cybercriminals. Healthcare IT leaders should prepare defenses against these evolving threats and educate staff on verification protocols for suspicious requests.Remember, Stay a Little Paranoid X: This Week Health LinkedIn: This Week Health Donate: Alex's Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer

In this episode of Stories from the River, guest host Tyler Trill, Senior Communications Manager at Broad River Retail, sits down with Broad River Retail's IT experts Robert Ferguson, Associate Director, IT Infrastructure & User Services, and Tim Sobkowiak, Associate Director, Retail Technology & Project Management, to dive into the world of cybersecurity, with a specific focus on phishing attacks.  The discussion breaks down how phishing techniques have evolved from suspicious emails to sophisticated text messages, QR code scams, and AI-powered voice impersonations. Robert and Tim share real-life examples of successful phishing scams, explain why these attacks remain effective, and offer practical advice on how to recognize and respond to threats. Key takeaways include the critical roles of strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and most importantly, ongoing education for every team member—not just IT. The episode emphasizes that staying safe online is everyone's responsibility, both at work and at home.

President Trump appears dead set on joining Israel's war with Iran. After a period of negotiations, Trump has now tweeted that he wants Iran's “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” The New York Times has a deep dive into his deliberations, and the findings are shocking. Trump is ready for war even though our own intelligence assessments don't support the case for it. And incredibly, the Times reports, Trump was influenced on all this by what he saw on Fox News, which broadcast relentless imagery of Israel's “genius” bombing of Iran. This led Trump to want “some credit for himself” for the attack, after which he “began hinting that he had played a bigger behind-the-scenes role in the war than people realized.” He then leaned more towards escalation. We talked to veteran national security hand Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, who has a great piece for Foreign Policy magazine on the situation. He explains why the case for war is so weak, how Trump is getting manipulated into it so easily, and what to expect as all this unfolds.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

The former Loretto Hospital executive charged with stealing millions from the safety-net hospital also used fake COVID-19 testing companies to steal about $300 million from the government, prosecutors alleged in a newly unsealed indictment.Former Loretto COO and CFO Anosh Ahmed is among a group of four who now face charges related to the scheme, prosecutors said.Block Club has reported extensively on Ahmed's troubling conduct at Loretto Hospital, from letting well-connected people access COVID-19 vaccines early — and even bragging he vaccinated Eric Trump — to contracting with companies owned by his business partner, best friend and neighbor, Sameer Suhail.Ahmed and Suhail were charged in July with wire fraud, embezzlement and money laundering, with prosecutors alleging they defrauded the hospital out of $15 million. They fled to Dubai.Separately, Block Club also revealed in 2021 and 2022 that various COVID-19 testing companies were providing questionable and sometimes fake results while appearing to wrongfully seek federal reimbursements worth hundreds of millions of dollars. One of the labs highlighted by Block Club Chicago for problematic work was O'Hare Clinical Lab.Now, those stories have converged, as prosecutors say Ahmed, Mohamed “Siraj” Sirajudeen and Mahmood Sami Khan used O'Hare Clinical Lab, among others, to submit false COVID-19 testing claims to the government. They sought about $900 million in reimbursements, of which they received about $300 million.-- Host - Jon HansenReporter - Kelly Bauer Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom?

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

FMCSA will renew an exemption for oversize and overweight loads, in part because those rigs realistically have no place to park. Also, many truckers have tried CBD, but a doctor says it could cause truckers to fail a drug test.

Banking on Fraudology is part of the Fraudology Podcast Network.In this episode of Banking on Fraudology, Hailey Windham takes listeners inside the world of pig butchering scams and Operation Shamrock's efforts to combat them. Windham shares insights from her recent presentation at the ACFE Twin Cities Fraud Summit, where she and Erin West highlighted the growing threat of transnational organized crime syndicates. The episode focuses on Operation Shamrock's groundbreaking Survivor Series initiative, which brings victims' stories directly to financial institutions to identify vulnerabilities and prevent future scams.Windham recounts a particularly impactful case study of a young woman who lost $160,000 in just 10 days to a sophisticated pig butchering scheme.

Key takeaways include how scammers coach victims to lie during transaction reviews, exploit distrust in financial institutions, and structure wire transfers to avoid detection.

This week, we light a candle for lost legends and torch a few bad takes. In Follow Up, Molly White reminds us that giving a damn still matters—despite the rising tide of apathy (and flaming robotaxis in downtown L.A.). Protesters across the country chant “No Kings!” while Elon does his best impression of a bootlicker groveling back to Trump. Meanwhile, we take a moment to reflect on 2025's greatest hits: riots, rollbacks, and rampant idiocy.In the news, Uber decides buses are cool again—but shittier and more expensive. The UK jumps into the robotaxi game while Tesla, shockingly, misses another launch date. French Tesla fans are suing over the brand's fashy vibes, Google is ghosting employees via buyout, and Meta's trying to buy its way to artificial godhood. Oh, and Trump's launching an AI chatbot. What could go wrong? Elsewhere, China turns off AI so kids can cheat the old-fashioned way, Disney and Universal are gunning for Midjourney, and Shopify goes stablecoin with Coinbase and Stripe.Media Candy's popping off: Foundation returns, Strange New Worlds prepares for its final warp, and Spaceballs is back—with the original cast! Meanwhile, we review Mythfits, Princess of Power, and the slow striptease that is David Zaslav's credibility. On the gadget front: forget your canned air—go full vacuum-blower-keyboard-cleaner madness. And in The Dark Side with Dave, stormtroopers vlog, AI kills joy, and we race the beam in retro game land. Finally, we say goodbye to a few greats—Sly Stone, Brian Wilson, Ananda Lewis, Douglas McCarthy, and Apple legend Bill Atkinson.
