Es liegen systematische Übersichtsarbeiten vor, insbesondere zu Essverhalten, Körperbild und psychischem Wohlbefinden. Begrenzter ist die Evidenz dafür, dass intuitive Ernährung langfristig zu einer relevanten Gewichtsabnahme oder automatisch zum Normalgewicht führt. Auch die Aussage, dass nach fünf Jahren über 90 Prozent der Menschen wieder ihr Ausgangsgewicht erreichen oder darüber liegen, ist in dieser Allgemeingültigkeit nicht ausreichend belegt. Gewichtszunahmen nach Diäten sind häufig, die Ergebnisse unterscheiden sich aber je nach Intervention, Personengruppe und Nachbetreuung deutlich. Zum Einfluss von Alkohol auf die Muskelproteinsynthese – ab 00:27:33 Die im Podcast genannten 10 bis 20 Prozent stimmen nicht mit der vermutlich gemeinten Studie überein. Nach einer sehr hohen Alkoholzufuhr von 1,5 Gramm pro Kilogramm Körpergewicht war die Muskelproteinsynthese trotz Proteinzufuhr etwa 24 Prozent und bei Alkohol plus Kohlenhydraten etwa 37 Prozent geringer. Untersucht wurde die kurzfristige Muskelproteinsynthese, nicht der langfristige Muskelaufbau. Ein einzelnes Bier macht eine Trainingseinheit dennoch nicht wertlos. Zum Zusammenhang zwischen Schlafmangel und Energieaufnahme – ab 01:33:50 Die genannten 300 bis 400 zusätzlichen Kilokalorien beziehen sich nicht auf jede einzelne Stunde Schlafmangel. Eine Meta-Analyse zeigte unter experimentell verkürzten Schlafbedingungen im Durchschnitt eine etwa 385 Kilokalorien höhere tägliche Energieaufnahme als unter normalen Schlafbedingungen. Zum Einfluss von Hormonen auf das Abnehmen – ab 01:50:36 Hormone sind nicht lediglich eine Folge des Lebensstils. Besonders während der Menopause können hormonelle Veränderungen Körperzusammensetzung, Fettverteilung, Appetit und möglicherweise den Energieverbrauch beeinflussen. Sie setzen die Energiebilanz jedoch nicht außer Kraft, können die Gewichtskontrolle aber erschweren. Quellenverzeichnis Al Khatib, H. K., Harding, S. V., Darzi, J., & Pot, G. K. (2017).

Nicole is the founder of Strip Jerky, a woman-founded, chef-crafted jerky brand built around clean ingredients, premium cuts of beef, and branding that breaks completely from the hyper-masculine image the category has leaned on for decades.What started as a daily office snack — and one coworker commenting on the smell — turned into culinary school experiments, dehydrators running in a tiny apartment, and eventually a fast-growing brand focused on “stripping jerky down to the good stuff.”S9 Episode 24: 6/18/2026Featuring Kelly Johnson with Special Guest Nicole SchlesingerFollow Our Podcast:Instagram: @dailygrindpod https://www.instagram.com/dailygrindpod/  X: @dailygrindpod https://x.com/dailygrindpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailygrindpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dailygrindpodPodcast Website: https://direct.me/dailygrindpod   Follow Our Special Guest:Website: https://stripjerky.com/ Instagram: @thestripjerky Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583748676028&ref=PROFILE_EDIT_xav_ig_profile_page_web# TikTok: @thestripjerkyX: @thestripjerky

"Poison Control" Part 3 by Matthew Schlesinger

In this clinically rich episode, host Dr. Ted Lain sits down with board-certified dermatologist and global skin cancer expert Dr. Todd Schlesinger — AAD Board of Directors member, Mohs surgeon, clinical assistant professor at George Washington University School of Medicine, and medical director of the Clinical Research Center of the Carolinas — for a deep dive into systemic and targeted therapies for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The doctors begin with a thorough breakdown of the hedgehog signaling pathway (PATCHED, Smoothened, GLI-1 transcription) and how mutations in this pathway drive basal cell carcinoma (BCC) growth. They compare the two FDA-approved hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) — vismodegib (Erivedge) and sonidegib (Odomzo) — covering their mechanisms of action, volume of distribution differences (16–18L vs. ~9,000L), indications for locally advanced and metastatic BCC, how to define "locally advanced," and complete vs. partial response rates. Dosing strategies are addressed in detail, including alternate-day dosing and treatment breaks backed by the MIKIE study and STEVIE safety study. For managing the most common adverse events — muscle cramps, dysgeusia, weight loss, and fatigue — Dr. Schlesinger shares his clinical protocol using L-carnitine supplementation (1,500–2,000mg liquid, started 2–4 weeks before therapy) along with calcium and CoQ10. The conversation then moves to PD-1 and PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors for locally advanced and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and BCC, covering cemiplimab (Libtayo), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), and nivolumab (Opdivo). The hosts explain the immune checkpoint mechanism using a memorable analogy, discuss how UV exposure upregulates PD-1 on tumor cells, and explore the practical realities of dermatologists prescribing infusion-based immunotherapy — including multidisciplinary care team logistics, buy-and-bill considerations, and when to partner with oncology. The episode closes with an exciting look at the pipeline: intralesional therapies for nodular and superficial BCC from companies including Verica, iViva, PHIO, and Feldan, red light PDT for superficial BCC nearing FDA approval, and the broader question of where these drugs fit as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or primary therapies — and what complete response benchmarks (80–95%) dermatologists should expect before adopting non-surgical primary options.

Steve Schlesinger is a Fellow at the Century Foundation in New York City. Mr. Schlesinger authored "Act of Creation: Founding of the United Nations," and he is an expert on the UN and international issues.  The League of Nations was the forerunner of the UN, which was created in 1945 where over 60 million died. The UN has been vital in preventing World War 3, providing humanitarian assistance to hundreds of millions of refugees, developing partnerships with groups such as Rotary International to eliminate the scourge of polio, and sending peacekeeping troops into dangerous areas to restore stability. Other basic UN services are to develop international agreements to safely move aircraft, ships, telecommunications, mail and weather information worldwide. The Trump administration has drastically cut US donations to the world body, which is damaging the US and the world. The US benefits more from the UN than probably any other country.

"How Is Your Heart?" Part 2 by Matthew Schlesinger

Brewers President of Business Ops Rick Schlesinger joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to help answer any remaining questions Brewers fans have about the latest media deal. Rick breaks down the promotional calendar for the season!

Japan's February 8th snap election delivered a historic result: Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) secured a rare two‑thirds supermajority in the powerful lower house, giving her the strongest mandate any postwar leader has enjoyed to date. That will sharply increase what she can do on economic policy, defense readiness, and how Japan responds to pressures from both the US and China.​Jake Schlesinger - President and CEO of the US‑Japan Foundation and a longtime Japan-watcher - joins the show to explain why this election was a potential turning point in a political system often seen as stable to the point of stagnation. He argues that while Japan's politics have frequently been defined by weak and short-lived prime ministers and cautious consensus, this vote creates the conditions for unusually decisive leadership.Schlesinger describes an electorate focused less on the LDP's history of political ethics controversies and more on daily economic pressure combined with a sense that Takaichi herself represents a fresh face. The episode unpacks how Japanese voters can be skeptical about big fiscal promises while still rewarding the leader who seems most willing to speak directly to pocketbook issues like inflation, wages, and household strain.The conversation shifts to geopolitics, as Schlesinger highlights how China's recent threats and coercive signaling appeared to backfire, strengthening public support for a leader who stands up rather than backing down. He frames this as a meaningful change in Japan's public mood: a country once inclined to avoid antagonizing neighbors is increasingly prepared to accept friction if it's tied to national security - particularly around Taiwan, a Chinese invasion of which Takaichi has warned would pose an existential crisis for Japan.The episode also examines what this election mandate could mean for the US‑Japan alliance. While people-to-people ties remain strong, Schlesinger notes that Tokyo is navigating a complex era of “America-First” politics - simultaneously hugging the US closer while hedging its bets with other regional partners like Australia, India, the Philippines, and South Korea. Finally, the discussion touches on constitutional constraints on Japan's military and whether this supermajority could finally open the door to a formal revision.

"How is Your Heart?" by Matthew Schlesinger

Februar 1934 - Der Fabrikant Otto Schlesinger verschwindet auf dem Weg in den geplanten Ski-Urlaub im Erzgebirge. Die Spuren führen nach Berlin-Schöneberg und in nationalsozialistische Kreise. Am Ende steht eine spektakuläre Verhaftung – samt Verfolgungsjagd und Schießerei, mitten in Charlottenburg.

What kind of leadership can hold a fractured democracy together?About the GuestStephen Schlesinger is an American historian, author, and foreign policy analyst. The son of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.—Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and special assistant to President John F. Kennedy—and grandson of Arthur Schlesinger Sr., he grew up at the centre of one of America's most distinguished intellectual families. Schlesinger is the author of Act of Creation: The Founding of the United Nations, and has written widely on American foreign policy and international institutions. He knew both John and Robert Kennedy personally, and brings a rare insider perspective to the history of American liberalism.About This Episode"He went around the table asking us, 'Do you still believe in God?' — this was 1967, he was already being considered for the presidency. Why would a man of this intensity and ambition be talking about these issues?" - Stephen Schlesinger After two days exploring the surveillance state and the ethics of unmasking—with Andrew Guthrie Ferguson on how your data will be used against you and Christopher Mathias on the fight to expose the radical right—Andrew Keen steps back to ask a larger question: What kind of leadership can hold a fractured democracy together?Stephen Schlesinger joins the show from the Upper West Side of New York to offer a historian's perspective—and a personal one. From his father's role in Camelot to his own memories of playing touch football with Bobby Kennedy at Hickory Hill, Schlesinger reflects on what made the Kennedy brothers effective leaders in a divided country, and what lessons their example holds for progressives today. The conversation moves from the founding of the republic (one-third pro-British) through the Civil War to the present fracture, and asks whether elections remain democracy's "great solver"—or whether something has fundamentally changed.Chapters:00:00 Introduction On the road in New York, beside Columbia University01:10 What Has Happened to America? Schlesinger's 250-year view of national fracture03:40 The One-Third Fracture Why a leader with minority support cannot impose ideology on 330 million05:15 Elections as the Great Solver Except for the Civil War, the ballot box has resolved every American crisis07:30 An Intellectual Aristocracy Harvard, the Schlesinger legacy, and the view from inside the American elite10:45 The Romance of Camelot Meeting JFK, the magnetism of youth, and the television presidency14:20 Bobby's Vulnerability The dinner where RFK asked, “Do you still believe in God?”17:45 Touch Football at Hickory Hill Bobby's toughness and the bullet pass Schlesinger had to catch20:30 Jackie vs. Hickory Hill Two styles of Kennedy parenting22:15 Composed Jack, Emotional Bobby Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s perspective on the two brothers24:40 The Assassinations The White House, Lyndon Johnson's motorcade, and the bar exam Schlesinger failed28:15 Could Bobby Have Won? Humphrey, the nomination, and what might have been30:30 The Kennedys and Internationalism From Joe Kennedy's isolationism to JFK's UN vision and RFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis34:00 Chris Matthews and the Bobby Kennedy CenentaryLessons for Today36:30 The Perpetual Civic DutyWhy each generation must defend constitutional freedoms anew38:45 ClosingAdvice to grandchildren and the enduring fight for democracyLinks & ReferencesMentioned in this episode:Act of Creation: The Founding of the United Nations by Stephen SchlesingerA Thousand Days: John F.
