In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno sits down with metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman to explore how insulin — one of the body's most important hormones — influences nearly every aspect of our health. From weight gain and fatigue to inflammation and chronic disease, insulin resistance lies at the root of many modern ailments. Together they break down the science of metabolism in clear, actionable terms, explaining how blood sugar, insulin, and energy regulation interact — and how diet, movement, and fasting can restore balance. This conversation offers a roadmap for reversing insulin resistance, improving metabolic flexibility, and reclaiming long-term vitality.

What sets the most successful people apart? You may think that the answer is hard work (and it's certainly part of it), but in her interviews of the most accomplished individuals—from entrepreneurs and investors to Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners—Distinguished Professor of Management, Dr. Laura Huang discovered that what they called their gut feel, the product of their intuition, played the most important role.Laura, who has held faculty positions at Harvard Business School and the Wharton School has in many ways dedicated her research career to quantifying the ‘unquantifiable'. Her work shows that we all have intuition -  a combination of our brain's intelligent synthesis of external data and the entirety of our personal experiences. Our intuition draws from what we already know and what we didn't even realize we knew. This process culminates in a gut feel which can manifest as: A eureka moment, A Spidey sense, Or a jolt that changes how we see things and compels us to act.If you're like most people, these flashes of clarity arise passively.  Random occurrences that come out of the blue.And yet in her powerful new book: You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition, Laura shares: "What makes our gut feel a superpower is our ability to go from the passive to the active.” That move, from passive to active, lies at the center of our conversation today. Together we'll explore:How we can strengthen our ability to hear the quiet whisper of our intuition,And be truer to ourselves and those moments of clarity when our head and our heart converge. Laura's words offer us all a timely reminder:"As the external world gets ever noisier, often, the smartest thing we can do is listen to our gut to guide us in the right direction. Trust Yourself. You already know."For more on Laura, her books, speaking, events, and research please visit proflaurahuang.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

Many people think there are telltale signs of lying — shifty eyes, nervous fidgeting, maybe a quick smile — that can give someone away to trained observers. But according to decades of research, that's a myth. Still, some scientists push back on that consensus. A recent paper by well-known researcher David Matsumoto (of the company Humintell) argues that combinations of nonverbal cues might be highly useful for revealing deception. In this episode, I talk with deception researcher Tim Levine, author of Duped and creator of truth-default theory, about whether that claim holds up — and what the science says about our ability to read lies using body language.

Cold Weather, Warm Muscles: Smart Winter Fitness Tips for Adults Over 50 As the seasons change, so do our routines — and for many older adults, colder months bring more than just snow and chilly mornings. They bring stiffness, aches, and a steep drop in motivation to stay active. That's why I'm thrilled to share our latest Live Long Better episode featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Dr. Jo is a nationally recognized voice in fitness science and healthy aging, and in this episode, she gives clear, compassionate advice for staying strong and steady through winter. We discuss how cold weather affects muscles, why older adults need to warm up differently in winter, and what simple indoor exercises can improve strength and balance — without requiring expensive equipment or a gym membership. Even more importantly, we talk about the emotional side of fitness during winter — how loneliness, low energy, and dark days can create barriers, and what role the 6 Pillars of Wellness play in staying mentally and physically well. Whether you're caring for aging parents, guiding clients over 50, or simply working to age well yourself, this conversation is full of takeaways: • Science-backed movement tips • Real-world stories of transformation • Winter-specific warm-up routines • Practical advice for daily strength and confidence

The Planetary Society heads to TwitchCon 2025 to explore how scientists and educators use livestreaming to share the excitement of discovery.

Ayelet Fishbach, motivation researcher at University of Chicago, dismantles the fantasy-driven approach to New Year's resolutions and goal-setting. Drawing from data spanning multiple years, she reveals that while temporal landmarks like New Year work for initiating goals, only 20% of people still pursue them by November—the difference comes down to whether you're fantasizing or planning. Fishbach explains how fantasies (envisioning yourself already achieving the goal) actually decrease motivation to send job applications or take action, whereas concrete plans ("I will call my connections, work on my resume, here are the steps") drive execution. She introduces the critical balance between "why" questions (abstract purpose that prevents you from giving up) and "how" questions (concrete steps that enable execution), warning that goals become too abstract when they reach "I want to be happy" and too concrete when you lose sight of why you're doing them. The conversation explores Michael Phelps' visualization strategy (preparing for goggles filling with water, not just winning gold) and why optimism without planning is just delusional fantasy masquerading as motivation.

Episode OverviewWhat if your body has been trying to communicate with you, and you've just forgotten how to listen?In this episode, Bryce sits down with Stuart Champion, a performance coach, educator, and founder of Balanced Body Wisdom, to explore the connection between movement, the nervous system, and true embodiment. Stuart shares how years of pain and imbalance became the catalyst for deeper awareness and how he helps others reconnect with their body's natural intelligence.This episode bridges the gap between fitness and feeling, performance and peace, strength and stillness.⸻Time-Stamped Show Notes00:00 – Introduction: The Science of FeelingBryce opens the conversation with the question: What if true strength begins with awareness, not effort?04:45 – Stuart's Story: From Injury to InsightStuart shares how back pain and surgery led him to discover the wisdom of the body and the power of awareness.“Pain isn't punishment, it's information.”11:20 – The Modern DisconnectExploring how many people live from the neck up, disconnected from their body's signals and trapped in survival mode.“The nervous system can't heal in survival mode.”18:50 – Practice One: Current StateHow awareness is the first step toward transformation and why most people are training compensation instead of capacity.“Awareness is the first rep of transformation.”27:10 – Practice Two: Waiting for the Nervous SystemLearning to slow down, create safety, and let the body open naturally instead of forcing adaptation.“Force tells the body what to do. Safety invites it.”36:30 – Practice Three: Equal and OppositesFinding balance through contrast: effort and ease, inhale and exhale, light and dark.“Balance isn't stillness, it's movement in harmony.”44:20 – Practice Four: IntegrationTurning insight into embodiment and understanding why awareness must become action.“Wisdom doesn't live in knowing, it lives in doing.”53:00 – The Art of Play and PresenceHow reconnecting to play restores energy, creativity, and presence.“Play is the purest form of presence.”59:10 – Tools for ReconnectionPractical breathwork, movement, and daily rituals to restore balance and self-awareness.“Breath is the remote control of the nervous system.”1:05:00 – Closing ReflectionsHow Stuart's approach helps people rediscover freedom, stability, and trust in their body's wisdom.⸻Key Takeaways    •    Awareness is the foundation of transformation.    •    You can't out-train a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.    •    True balance exists within contrast: strength and softness, effort and ease.    •    Pain is a signal that you've drifted away from alignment.    •    Breath and play are gateways to restoring natural harmony.⸻Notable Quotes    •    “Stillness is strength in disguise.”    •    “You can't heal if you're stuck in fight or flight.”    •    “Your body is wiser than your mind if you learn to listen.”    •    “Integration is the art of living your lessons.”    •    “Healing isn't about doing more, it's about doing what matters with awareness.”⸻Call to ActionIf this episode inspired you, subscribe to the ALLSMITH Podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with someone who's ready to come home to their body.Follow Stuart Champion:Website: wThank you for Listening!

Todd's Science Term Sounds Dirty and He Slept Thru His Alarm by Maine's Coast 93.1

When was the last time you felt completely alive with your partner, not because of what you did, but because of how connected you felt? No new toys, no faraway trips, no clever tricks. Just presence. Just energy. Just the spark that comes from truly seeing and being seen. In this Language of Love Session, I sit down with Rachel, a listener and student of Sex Magic, who joined one of my live events in New Jersey and left with a notebook full of questions and a heart full of curiosity. Together, we explore what really fuels passion after the honeymoon fades. It's not dopamine or novelty, but the deeper vibrational energy that connects two people soul to soul. We explore:  Why true intimacy starts with awareness, not more techniques How to tell the difference between dopamine-fueled excitement and deep energetic connection How curiosity can dissolve judgment and open your heart wider What to do when one partner feels the energy instantly and the other doesn't (yet) How to hold your vibration without taking on someone else's emotions The concept of the Quantum Love Map and its relevance to vibrational matching Why we attract emotionally heavy people and how to stop being their anchor How raising your frequency naturally transforms your relationships Simple Sex Magic practices to clarify desire and realign with what you truly want The importance of being in a high energetic state during sex to enhance the manifestation process. This conversation is for anyone who's ever looked at their partner and wondered, Can we ever feel that spark again? The answer is yes, but it doesn't come from doing more. It comes from being more: more present, more attuned, more alive. Passion never really dies; it just waits for you to come back home to your body, your energy, and your heart.

Recorded live at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto on October 31, 2025, this episode brings together beloved children's musician and advocate Raffi and University of Toronto psychologist Dr. Jennifer Stellar for a conversation about how music helps shape our earliest experiences of empathy, gratitude, and wonder. Raffi reflects on three songs spanning nearly three decades of his career—“The More We Get Together,” “Thanks a Lot,”and “Bananaphone”—and how they came to embody his philosophy of Child Honouring, a vision that places the well-being of children at the center of community and culture. Dr. Stellar, director of University of Toronto's HEAL Lab (Health, Emotions, and Altruism Laboratory), explains how these songs map onto what psychologists call self-transcendent emotions: feelings that expand our sense of self and deepen our connections with others. Together, they explore why compassion tends to emerge in children around the ages of five to eight, how gratitude can encourage cooperation and trust, and how awe invites us to reimagine what is possible. They discuss the science of co-regulation, the role of music in developing social awareness, and why playful imagination—like pretending a banana is a phone—can support a child's ability to see the world in new ways. The episode ends with a joyful reflection on the enduring power of communal singing—reminding us that “the more we get together, the happier we'll be,” not just as a lyric, but as a lifelong practice in belonging.

When the yetzer for idolatry was abolished, prophecy vanished with it. The world, once speaking, went silent. In that silence, was born science: the study of a universe that follows law but no longer reveals purpose.We follow the transformation from the enchanted world of the prophets, through the impersonal age of universals, to the modern possibility of a renewed da'as Hashem. It asks whether we can once again see the world as personal — without falling back into idolatry — and what kind of self would make that possible.00:45 The abolition of the inclination to idolatry2:00 With the abolition of the inclination to idolatry, prophecy came to an end4:30 What conditions would favor the reawakening of the inclination to idolatry and prophecy?6:20 Why are sources and texts necessary for learning about ideas or reality? 3 models15:15 The connection between the abolition of the inclination to idolatry and prophecy — the world, once enchanted, lost its enchantmentOn the enchanted world: https://shnayor.substack.com/p/how-to...18:00 Is the world personal?20:00 The question of whether the world is personal hinges on the problem of evil23:45 To converse with God through His creation is completely natural for one who conceives of His good character manifest in His creation25:00 If the good divine character is manifest in only a part of reality, polytheism results28:30 What "good" means30:00 The problem of evil for the unified personal God32:00 Moshe's request to know Hashem was a quest to understand evil: https://open.substack.com/pub/shnayor...33:30 The denial of Moshe's request is the reason the Torah teaches Hashem's unknowability: https://open.substack.com/pub/shnayor...Between the Torah and the Prophets: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364132946794...35:00 The perfectly righteous man bends Hashem's action to the good he knows in his human soul: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364134646725...38:00 The prophets see God as good in their own image; why Moshe rejected that anthropocentric goodness43:30 Free will is central to the question of whether Hashem is good on the basis of human goodness44:15 The thousand-year era of prophecy when Hashem was known in His goodness: https://open.substack.com/pub/shnayor...48:00 Why the prophetic relationship with Hashem leads imperfect people into idolatry51:45 The end of prophecy and the beginning of science53:00 Science and the depersonalization of nature54:45 In the post-prophetic era, Israel didn't need to be independent, since Hashem's impersonal unity is universal and not particular to His revelation among Israel59:25 Can we yet make the world personal again?1:00:00 The shift in the sense of self from what is temporal to that which is eternal1:02:00 The eternal moral laws are purely good, without contradiction1:08:45 Are we ready for the shift to the new prophecy?1:10:00 Why do we require a particular nation in the era of universal knowledge of Hashem? https://open.substack.com/pub/shnayor...https://www.ebay.com/itm/3744777007721:11:30 The reality of Jewish sovereignty suggests it is time for the new da'as Hashem1:13:30 Q & AWhy would the new da'as Hashem be any safer?What would idolatry look like under the new paradigm?Would religion that requires such a shift in the sense of self be meaningful to people?1:18:00 Why the prophets took the easier path at first1:21:00 Where the notion of a self came from1:23:00 On the centrality of respecting parents and how that shifts our sense of self: https://open.substack.com/pub/shnayor...Why would a soul not care about the destruction of the body?Would the new prophecy be different?

Sabrina Zohar, host of The Sabrina Zohar Show (7M+ downloads, top 0.1% globally), joins David Brickley for a raw, honest conversation about mental health, dating, relationships, and childhood trauma—and how all of it ties into the patterns we carry as adults. They unpack the psychology behind anxious vs avoidant attachments, the neuroscience of texting anxiety, the truth about boundaries (hint: it's not about telling people what to do), and how to actually rewire old beliefs instead of projecting them onto your partner. From real talk about her own healing journey to the patterns she sees in thousands of clients, this episode is packed with insight, self-awareness, and the kind of honesty that makes you feel seen.  

Why This Episode Matters:DJ Grumble's story flips the myth of the “tortured full-time artist” on its head. A medicinal chemist by training, he treats his beat-making with the same rigor as a lab experiment, balancing structure and spontaneity while managing a startup, research deadlines, and a thriving music catalog. His journey shows that creativity and discipline aren't opposites; they're two sides of the same molecule.Explore the Stories Behind the BeatsLove diving into the stories behind the beats? Subscribe to ProducerHead and join producers and creatives exploring the ideas, habits, and inspiration that drive great music.Who is DJ Grumble:Producer, DJ, and chemist. Known for a massive catalog of soulful, sample-based beats, DJ Grumble built a cult following through SoundCloud, YouTube, and Bandcamp. DJ Grumble has produced tracks for RIAA-certified gold and platinum artists such as Ari Lennox and Surfaces, and his work has been featured in TV shows, movies, and video games, all while holding a PhD-level background in nano-medicine and now serving as co-founder of a cancer biotech startup in the Bay Area.What We Dive Into:* Parallels between scientific experimentation and sampling* Managing expectations and finding work-life balance* How to release fearlessly and build a catalog that compounds* The “quantity vs. quality” myth and the power of consistency* Business 101 for producers: PROs, SongTrust, and royalties* Collaboration, taste, and why addition is often subtraction* Merging two worlds: creativity and chemistryThree Key Takeaways:* Consistency > Perfection: Grumble's catalog exploded when he stopped over-editing and started releasing — one beat every week. He learned that fans, not artists, decide what hits.* Science and Sound Share the Same DNA: Sampling and chemistry both start with raw materials and transform them through experimentation. Grumble's scientific mindset fuels his musical process.* Manage Your Expectations: Whether it's the lab or the music business, results take time. Success compounds slowly — and you can only collect on your creativity if you understand the systems that pay you.Before You Go:What's your version of the “lab?” The place where you put in steady, focused work that no one sees? Take a page from Grumble's book: set aside even 30 minutes a day to experiment, release without fear, and let time and repetition refine your craft.Chapters:0:00 – Intro0:27 – From chemistry to beats2:12 – Parallels between science and sampling5:48 – Balancing lab work and creativity7:53 – Quantity vs. quality mindset9:21 – Sharing music fearlessly13:31 – Free beats and virality14:22 – Optimism and managing expectations19:37 – Business 101: royalties, PROs, and SongTrust28:00 – Catalog strategy and viral growth32:26 – Collaboration and cross-pollination35:22 – Being objective and learning from failure40:28 – Shortcut tools, taste, and Tracklib50:03 – Can you teach taste?53:25 – Advice for upcoming producers55:07 – Motivation, obligation, and gratitude57:09 – Upcoming projects and vinyl reissues58:43 – Favorite gear and plugins1:21:04 – Habits that sabotage creativity1:25:12 – Work-life balance and “palate cleanse”1:28:10 – What people misunderstand about the industry1:30:48 – Movies, books, and advice1:39:33 – Books every producer should read1:42:34 – Integrating both lives: lab + music1:46:22 – Knowing when a beat is finished1:49:20 – Closing thoughtsList of References from the Interview:Songs / Artists:* MF DOOM & Madlib – Madvillainy* J Dilla – Donuts* Pete Rock – PetestrumentalsBooks / Authors / Podcasts:* Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday* Atomic Habits by James Clear* Scratch (documentary by Doug Pray)* Roald Dahl* Hatchet by Gary PaulsenProducts / Gear:* Player Pro by Quadmation (DAW)* Pioneer CDJ-800* Pioneer DVJ-X1* Casio RZ-1 Sampler* Tracklib* North Pole VST* Room Machine 844* RubyTube pluginsConnect with DJ Grumble:* YouTube: @dj_grumble* Instagram: @djgrumble* Spotify: DJ Grumble* Apple Music: DJ GrumbleConnect with Toru:* Website: torubeat.com* Instagram: @torubeat* YouTube: @torubeat* Spotify: Toru* Apple Music: ToruCredits:This episode was co-produced, engineered and edited by Matthew Diaz.

Why do we fear the wrong things? We worry about plane crashes but not car rides, strangers but not algorithms, sharks but not sugar. In The Fear Knot: How Science, History, and Culture Shape Our Fears – and How to Get Unstuck, journalism professor Ruth DeFoster and neuroscientist Natashia Swalve explore why our brains evolved to fear what once kept us alive — but now often misleads us. The result is a timely, eye-opening look at how to separate fact from fear in a world that profits from keeping us anxious. In the second half of the show, we hear from Ellen Vora, author of the 2022 book The Anatomy of Anxiety.

Cristina Gomez reviews new information about cases of the mystery objects appearing across the planet over airports and military installations that defy any conventional explanation, including invisibility cloaking, and originating from beneath the ocean, that completely shreds the explanation that they are just drones.To see the VIDEO of this episode, click or copy link - https://youtu.be/zdwFsUeApG0Visit my website with International UFO News, Articles, Videos, and Podcast direct links -www.ufonews.co00:00 - Nightcrawler Team 02:13 - New Jersey UAPs Were Real03:47 - Government's Changing Story09:19 - Black Triangle Emerges11:04 - FBI Takes It SeriouslyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strange-and-unexplained--5235662/support.

Joining us on the show for this episode is graphic designer, cartographer, and smellwalk guide, Dr. Kate Mclean. Kate's work is at the intersection of human-perceived smellscapes, cartography, and the communication of 'eye-invisible' sensed data. She uses a range of media including digital design, watercolor, animation, and sculpture to encourage and stimulate people to consider smell in new ways. For this conversation, we explore the sense of smell; how it works, why it's important, and what happens when we strengthen our ability to intentionally smell the world. We then talk about her work of mapping smellscapes in urban environments and all of the implications that come with it. You can stay tuned into Kate's work by heading over to Sensorymaps.com Show Topics - What Are Smellmaps? - What is the Physiology of Smell? - Is Smell Conditioned? - Smell and Memory - Smell and Home - What Happens When We Lose Our Smell? - Becoming more Sensationally Aware - Smell and our Perception of Time - Smell and Cooking - Smell and Design

Most of us know the story of the Titanic. In 1912, the massive — supposedly indestructible — steamship sank after hitting an iceberg on its first and only journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Titanic remained undiscovered on the seafloor, somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean, for 73 years, until it was found nearly two miles beneath the surface. But now the ship might be disappearing again, this time for good. And the culprit is not another iceberg — it's something much, much smaller.

Pay attention to these few minutes on how about half of us do not pay attention to the world around us. Science calls it IB: Inattentional Blindness. People call it having your head up your ass.  How do we know all this? Some guy in a gorilla suit proved it.

Global heating continues, despite the increased use of renewable energy sources and international policies attempting otherwise. Even as emissions reduction efforts continue, our world faces more extreme weather, sea level rise, and human health impacts, all of which are projected to accelerate in the coming decades. This raises an important but controversial question: at what point might more drastic interventions, like geoengineering, become necessary in order to cool the planet? In this episode, Nate interviews Professor Ted Parson about solar geoengineering (specifically stratospheric aerosol injection) as a potential response to severe climate risks. They explore why humanity may need to consider deliberately cooling Earth by spraying reflective particles in the upper atmosphere, how the technology would work, as well as the risks and enormous governance challenges involved. Ted emphasizes the importance of having these difficult conversations now, so that we're prepared for the wide range of climate possibilities in the future. How does stratospheric aerosol injection actually work? What is the likelihood that a major nation (or rogue billionaire) might employ this approach in the next thirty years? What ethical, moral, and biophysical concerns should we consider as we weigh the costs and benefits of further altering Earth's planetary balance?    About Ted Parson: Edward A. (Ted) Parson is Dan and Rae Emmett Professor of Environmental Law and Faculty Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the University of California, Los Angeles. Parson studies international environmental law and policy, the societal impacts and governance of disruptive technologies including geoengineering and artificial intelligence, and the political economy of regulation.  His most recent books are The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change (with Andrew Dessler), and A Subtle Balance: Evidence, Expertise, and Democracy in Public Policy and Governance, 1970-2010. His 2003 book, Protecting the Ozone Layer: Science and Strategy, won the Sprout Award of the International Studies Association and is widely recognized as the authoritative account of the development of international cooperation to protect the ozone layer. In addition to his academic positions, Parson has worked and consulted for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of Technology Assessment of the U.S. Congress, the Privy Council Office of the Government of Canada, and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Is it real or more deception?3I/ATLAS was first detected on July 1, 2025, by the Asteroid Terrestrial‑impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Chile. NASA Science+2Space+2Its full designation: 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1). The “3I” indicates it is the third known interstellar object (an object not bound by the Sun's gravity) after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Space+1Observations show comet-like activity: a coma (cloud of dust/gas around the nucleus) and perhaps a tail. Which is why scientists mostly call it a comet rather than an asteroid. NASA Science+2Space+2Importantly: its trajectory is hyperbolic (i.e., it's coming into the solar system from interstellar space and will leave again) — so it isn't orbiting the Sun like typical comets or asteroids.
