Dr. Shivani shares her personal journey: from being the perpetually sick kid healed by her grandmother's spice remedies in India, to studying Ayurveda firsthand and dedicating her life to bringing this wisdom to the West. We dive deep into what inflammation really is, the difference between acute and chronic "silent" inflammation, and how it connects to gut health, the immune system, and the circadian clock. Key topics include: What Ayurveda understood about inflammation long before modern science caught up The concept of ama (toxin residue) and agni (digestive fire) — and why they matter Super spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin, fennel, and cinnamon, and how to use them Why turmeric needs black pepper and healthy fat for maximum absorption Simple daily habits like tongue scraping and oil pulling that support gut and immune health Conscious eating, seasonal detoxing, and living in rhythm with your circadian clock Practical tips for kids and teens to build vibrant health from the inside out Dr. Shivani also shares a special offer: use code HOLISTICKIDS for 15% off at fusionaryformulas.com.

What if you didn't wait until your body was struggling before you gave it a reset? In our modern world, we often think of a cleanse or reset as something we need to do after we've overindulged, eaten too much sugar, gained weight, or simply "fallen off the wagon." But Ayurveda takes a different, more preventative approach. Because we are part of nature, the changing seasons affect us too, influencing our digestion, energy, routines, appetite, sleep and overall balance. In this episode, Colette explores why the transition between seasons is such an important time to pause, listen to the body, simplify and support ourselves through change. An Ayurvedic seasonal reset is about much more than a cleanse or detox. Through the Ayurvedic principle of ritucharya, adapting our lifestyle according to the seasons, we can become more aware of how our bodies respond to environmental changes and make adjustments before imbalance becomes more established. Colette explores the relationship between the seasons and the doshas, why supporting agni (digestive fire) is central to an Ayurvedic reset, and why cleansing should include preparation, simplicity, digestion, elimination and, importantly, rejuvenation. You'll also discover how a seasonal reset can become a powerful practice of preventative health rather than something we only turn to when something goes wrong. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Ayurveda takes a preventative approach to health and wellbeing How seasonal changes can influence our bodies, digestion, energy and daily routines The Ayurvedic concept of ritucharya and adapting our lifestyle with the seasons How the doshas can accumulate and become aggravated during seasonal transitions Why subtle changes in digestion can be signals that your body is adapting to a new season Why simplifying food, routines and stimulation can support the body during seasonal change What an Ayurvedic digestive reset involves beyond simply "detoxing" Why supporting digestion and elimination is an important part of a seasonal reset Why the process doesn't end when the cleanse ends The importance of rejuvenation and rebuilding after cleansing Why you don't need to wait until something is wrong before supporting your health How to make a seasonal reset personal to your constitution, lifestyle and individual needs Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th. This Ayurvedic cleanse is designed to gently remove accumulation, strengthen digestion, and help you re-establish daily rhythm while learning about your unique constitution and patterns.

As the seasons turn, so do we.In this episode, we explore the energetic shift from the outward, active energy of summer into the more inward, receptive and contemplative energy of autumn.Just as nature begins to return to the soil for replenishment and renewal, we too may feel called to slow down, become still and create more space to receive.As we move through the final days of Virgo — inviting us to reflect on our routines, structures and wellbeing — we begin to enter Libra season and the energy of balance. The Equinox offers us a beautiful opportunity to notice where we may be out of balance and gently recalibrate.A conversation about seasonal living, slowing down, listening inward and honouring the natural rhythms of the Earth and ourselves.

This week Richard takes us out of the kitchen garden and allotment and over to Audley End House in Essex for the Gardeners' World Autumn Fair — the final show of the year and a perfect chance to gather fresh inspiration as we head into autumn. Victorian Walled Gardens & Orchard Training Richard begins his visit in the Victorian kitchen gardens, admiring productive orchard beds, fan‑trained fruit trees and beautifully maintained glasshouses. Apples, pears, asparagus and late‑season veg are thriving despite the challenging summer, and the structure of the garden reinforces that his own move toward a more formal, kitchen‑garden layout at home is the right direction. Make a Metre Matter: Lucy Chamberlain's Autumn Garden Richard then meets up with Lucy Chamberlain to explore the final instalment of her Make a Metre Matter project — nine themed square metres designed to show what can be achieved in small spaces. Highlights include: Wildlife habitats for autumn and winter, using windfall apples, moss, bamboo canes and log piles Woodland ecology, with bracket fungi and chestnut stumps supporting stag beetle larvae Heat‑loving edibles like tomatoes, aubergines, chillies and basil to extend the harvest Edible flowers and vertical veg for colour and productivity A feature wormery, proving composting can be attractive as well as practical Heat‑tolerant crops such as curly kale and Malabar spinach Hardy winter salads including chicory, radicchio and mizuna Leaf mould demonstrations showing the stages of decomposition A metre dedicated to winter casserole ingredients — beetroot, carrots, kale, potatoes and swede The garden offers practical, achievable ideas for changing climates and small spaces, and gives Richard plenty of inspiration for his own plot. Recipe of the Week Back in the kitchen, Richard shares a warming aubergine and tomato gratin with a crispy potato topping — a perfect way to use up late‑summer veg before autumn fully settles in. Show Highlights & Heading Home A wander around the stalls reveals end‑of‑season bargains and familiar exhibitors. Richard picks up a few gifts and a robin‑on‑a‑spade ornament before heading home, feeling motivated to make the most of warm soil now and shift into infrastructure work as winter approaches.
The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Jessica DuQuesne, Global Brand Marketing & Strategy Lead at The Hershey Company and Allyson Gill, Managing Director at Flywheel, the commerce accelerator division of Omnicom.Follow Jessica on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-duquesne-exec/Follow the Hershey Company online at: https://www.thehersheycompany.com/Follow Alyson on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allyson-holland-gill-55194a2/Follow Flywheel online at: https://flywheeldigital.comJessica & Allyson answer these questions:1. The "Scream for REESE'S" campaign was described as Hershey's first partnership of this kind. What was the internal case you had to make to greenlight something so unprecedented — pairing a candy brand with an R-rated horror franchise — and how did you overcome skeptics?2. The explicit goal was to establish REESE'S as the quintessential Halloween treat in five key international markets where U.S.-style Halloween culture is still emerging. How do you localize a Halloween campaign for markets where the holiday doesn't have the same roots, and what did success look like differently country to country?3. The Effie-winning "Be So Eggstra" Easter campaign at Walmart was all about converting shopper interest into action. How does the consumer psychology of Halloween differ from Easter when you're building a commerce strategy — and did those Easter learnings inform how you approached the Scream activation at retail?4. From Flywheel's vantage point sitting across dozens of CPG clients, how rare is it to see a brand successfully stitch together an entertainment IP partnership, international expansion, and seasonal retail activation all in one campaign? What made Hershey's execution stand out?5. The campaign delivered "compelling seasonal concepts and highlighted opportunities to prioritize REESE'S product placement" at retail. How do you actually influence product placement in international markets where Hershey's retail relationships are far less established than in the U.S.? What's the commerce infrastructure playbook for markets like Mexico or Puerto Rico?6. Seasonal confectionery is one of the most contested shelves in retail — every brand is fighting for the same holiday display real estate. From a commerce strategy standpoint, how should CPG brands think about the interplay between in-store placement, digital shelf, and social to amplify a limited-time partnership activation like this one?7. In the UK, the campaign gave consumers a chance to win exclusive tickets to a private screening of Scream 7 through in-store promotional materials. Sweepstakes and experiential prizes are classic shopper mechanics — but how do you measure their commerce impact beyond entries? What are the right KPIs for a promotion like this?8. Scream is a franchise with a specific fan base — older, horror-savvy, nostalgic. REESE'S skews much broader. How did you make sure the partnership reached the casual Halloween consumer and not just the Ghostface superfan? Where was the creative tension in that balancing act?9. We're seeing more CPG brands pursue entertainment IP licensing — from candy to beverages to snacks. Is this a durable strategic playbook, or a moment in time? And what separates a partnership that genuinely builds brand equity from one that's just a short-term sales bump with a logo slap?10. Agentic commerce and AI-driven shopping are beginning to reshape how consumers discover and buy seasonal products. If an AI agent is doing a consumer's Halloween shopping — choosing between REESE'S and a competitor — what does a brand need to have in place to win that moment? Does a Scream partnership even register?11. Seasonal is the highest-stakes, most compressed window in CPG. The entire campaign has to land in 6-8 weeks. How is the rise of AI-powered media planning and retail media networks changing how you resource, pace, and measure a seasonal program like this one?12. You've described this campaign as "just the beginning" and a template for future collaborations that deepen brand relevance and seasonal impact. What's the evolution of this playbook — and as Scream 7 actually hits theaters in February 2026, how does Hershey sustain the cultural connection beyond the Halloween window?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

The wheel turns, this is simply a fact. But what happens when we're not ready for the turn? How do we intentionally address unfinished business from season to season, so that we don't carry heavy, stagnant energy into the next cycle? With each subtle shift, pay attention to your energetic state. Are you reluctant to move forward? Conversely, are you eagerly rushing into the next season without even a backwards glance? The moments where we dig our heels in or hastily plow ahead have something to teach us. As we listen to the evening cicadas, consider the changing season in your life, are you ready for the shift or do you have unfinished business to attend to? Support the Show & Stay Connected
Have you ever noticed that when you're not feeling your best, your instinct is to do more? Another supplement, another diet, another wellness routine or maybe another expert to follow. But what if your body doesn't need more from you right now? What if it needs less? In this episode, Colette explores the Ayurvedic wisdom of simplicity and why creating space can sometimes be more supportive than continually adding more. Ayurveda reminds us that the body is constantly processing; not only food, but also information, experiences, emotions, stimulation and the demands of everyday life. When there is too much coming in and not enough capacity to process it, we can begin to feel overwhelmed, disconnected and depleted. Creating space can give the body an opportunity to digest, process and eliminate what it no longer needs, while also creating room for intuition, clarity and creativity to emerge. In this episode, you'll discover: Why our instinct to add more isn't always the answer when something isn't working The Ayurvedic understanding of Agni and why digestive capacity matters How we can become overwhelmed by the constant input of modern life Why simplicity can reduce the energy required to navigate our daily lives The difference between restriction and simplification How Ayurveda understands Ama as residue or accumulation from what has not been properly digested or processed Why creating space can support digestion, processing and elimination How mental and emotional "clutter" can make it harder to hear our intuition Why creativity often needs space rather than more stimulation How a seasonal reset can help us step back from unnecessary demands Why your body doesn't always need another protocol, supplement, diet or wellness routine Three simple questions to ask before adding something new to your health routine Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I'm back, and I have a special guest on to talk about one of the new fantasy football leagues at Dr. Roto. Taino, who has been a long time subscriber to our site, comes on to talk about his article and what inspired him to create the Learning Curve article for our site. After that, we settle into the draft giving out our thoughts and ideas along the way, and whether we might have done something differently, or stayed the course. With some many people relying on ADP, Taino's goal is to only use that as a tool and not what you actually draft off of. This is a message I have always preached myself, so when I seen someone step up and grab the ball, you know I wanted to be there to make sure it was handed off. In the end, I wrap things up with my latest Macho Pick of the Week, along with Taino's pick, so that you're ready for this week's DFS slate. That being said, you better buckle up, because this ride is about to take off. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you. You're Inspiration for the League?

What happens when a local business stops simply posting on social media and starts using a real visibility strategy? In this episode of Social Media Decoded, visibility strategist and Thames Media Solutions founder Michelle Thames takes listeners behind the scenes of a real local marketing case study with Honey Bee Gardens in Downers Grove, Illinois. In roughly 30 days, Michelle and her team helped the farm create a more strategic approach to social media, storytelling, email marketing, calls to action, community marketing, automation, and customer follow-up. And the results started showing up beyond likes and followers. The farm reported 180 new customers from social media in one week, Farm-to-Table Dinner registrations grew from approximately 20 to 67, and one promotional Reel generated 800+ comments. But this episode isn't about chasing viral numbers. It's about turning visibility into action. Michelle breaks down the exact strategy behind the results—and the lessons any local business owner can use to make their marketing work harder. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why posting consistently is not the same as having a marketing strategy How to identify a visibility problem inside a local business Why businesses should market experiences instead of constantly marketing themselves How storytelling creates curiosity and gives customers a reason to visit Why clarity is essential for converting social media followers into customers How Honey Bee Gardens' Farm-to-Table Dinner grew from approximately 20 registrations to 67 What Michelle's team learned from a Reel that generated more than 800 comments How automation helped turn social media interest into a clear path to registration Why engagement means very little without a next step How Honey Bee Gardens reported 180 new customers coming from social media in one week How strategic marketing helped rebuild momentum despite weather-related cancellations Why local businesses need multiple marketing touchpoints instead of relying solely on Instagram How email, Facebook, social media, websites, events, automation, and word of mouth work together Why every piece of content needs a specific job How to use data to adjust your content strategy in real time Why a strong customer experience has to exist before marketing can amplify it The difference between a social media problem and a visibility-system problem The Honey Bee Gardens Results When Thames Media Solutions began working with Honey Bee Gardens around July 27, one of the immediate goals was increasing awareness and driving more people to the farm's experiences. One major focus was the Farm-to-Table Dinner. At the beginning of the partnership, approximately 20 people were registered. That number grew to approximately 67 registrations. Content surrounding the dinner also generated significant interest, including one Reel that received 800+ comments. Instead of allowing that engagement to stop at the comment section, Michelle created an automated follow-up process through Meta's business tools so interested people could receive the registration link. The strategy connected: Content → Interest → CTA → Follow-Up → Link → Opportunity to Convert The farm also reported 180 new customers attributed to social media during one week, based on asking visitors how they discovered the farm. During the broader campaign period, website sessions also surpassed 8,300, representing an increase of approximately 160% compared with the previous period. Michelle explains why these numbers should not all be attributed to one Reel or one marketing channel. Social media, email, existing customers, word of mouth, the farm's reputation, repeated promotion, and other touchpoints all worked together. That's exactly why businesses need a marketing ecosystem. Stop Selling the Business. Start Selling the Experience. One of the biggest changes was shifting the messaging away from simply telling people to "visit the farm." Instead, the strategy answered the question: Why should someone come? Family activities. Adult experiences. Farm-to-Table dining. Flowers. Seasonal activities. Weekend outings. Homeschool experiences. Local events. The business wasn't simply selling access to a farm. It was showing potential customers: "Here's what your Saturday could look like." That shift makes marketing more relevant to the customer's actual life. The Visibility System Michelle shares a six-part framework local businesses can use to evaluate their marketing: 1. Discovery: Can the right people find you? 2. Curiosity: Does your content make them care? 3. Clarity: Do they understand what you're offering? 4. Action: Do they know what to do next? 5. Follow-Up: What happens after someone shows interest? 6. Retention: How are you getting customers to return? You don't necessarily need 100 more posts. You need these six pieces working together. Content Needs a Job Before creating your next Reel, Facebook post, email, or video, ask: What is this content supposed to do? Is it designed to create discovery? Build trust? Drive registrations? Capture leads? Start conversations? Bring customers through the door? When content has a clear job, marketing becomes much more strategic. Ready to Build Your Visibility Strategy? If you're posting consistently but aren't sure why that attention isn't turning into customers, clients, registrations, or revenue, Michelle offers 1:1 Visibility Strategy Calls. During the session, you'll look at your: Visibility Messaging Content Offers Customer journey Follow-up Marketing ecosystem The goal isn't another generic social media consultation telling you to post more Reels. It's identifying where people are dropping off and developing a visibility strategy connected to what your business is actually trying to accomplish. DM Michelle the word STRATEGY to learn more about booking a 1:1 Visibility Strategy Call. Join the Conversation Where is your visibility system breaking down? Discovery? Curiosity? Clarity? Conversion? Follow-up? Retention? If you're listening on Spotify, leave your answer in the episode comments. If you're listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway from this case study. Key Takeaway The goal of visibility isn't to be seen by everybody. It's to be seen by the right people—and make it easy for them to take the next step. Don't just post. Tell better stories. Create curiosity. Give people a clear reason to act. Follow up. Watch the data. Adjust the strategy. And most importantly: Know the job of your content. Because when your content has a job, your marketing gets a whole lot smarter.

Is the lumber market finally trying to put in a bottom—or is this just another bounce before seasonal weakness takes over? This week on The Lumber Word, Ashley, Gregg, and Charles break down the latest action across SPF, Southern Yellow Pine, Hem-Fir, studs, and CME lumber futures. The guys discuss the growing disconnect between September futures and the cash market, the possibility of taking delivery against September, and why some buyers may want to start covering needs rather than waiting for the perfect bottom. Charles takes a deep dive into Southern Yellow Pine, where sharp price swings, tighter production control, freight volatility, and execution risk are making the market increasingly difficult to trade. The conversation also turns to Southern timberland, falling pulpwood demand, mill closures, and what cheap Southern fiber could mean for lumber production longer term. Then Ashley raises a bigger question: Who is really the smart money in lumber today—the industry or the funds? The guys examine how large systematic and trend-following funds can stay with positions far longer than physical traders expect, ignore traditional ideas like cost of production, and potentially push lumber much farther in either direction than the industry thinks makes sense. The episode wraps with signs of bottoming in futures, narrow Southern Pine, SPF dimension and studs, the possibility of a trading bounce into September expiration, and where November futures could run into resistance.

From tidying up his apartment to cleaning up on social media. Tidy Dad is everywhere. Tyler Moore aka Tidy Dad is a New York City school teacher, husband and father of three. The "dadfluencer" started sharing his hacks for keeping his family's 750 square foot apartment tidy on his Instagram page and website. Tyler's ruthless attacks on clutter rack up hundreds of thousands of views and Tidy Dad became a thing. He's a frequent guest on morning news shows and is frequently featured as a lifestyle expert in magazines and online. His book, Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize Clutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most, is a best seller. Tidy Dad has evolved into a full-on lifestyle brand in a space dominated by women. Tyler says fans often assume he can't handle a mess. "I can deal with a mess. I can tackle it and figure out what to do to problem solve it so it doesn't really happen again. But for me, I'm all about making space for what actually matters. Like I don't want to spend all of my time looking for something, or all of my time cleaning my house," says Tyler. Having an organized home creates the space to enjoy the rest of life. Tyler says, "That's the foundation of my organizing work. But yes, you Google "tidy" and you get Marie Kondo, and then you get me, which I think is great." On this Dying to Ask: How Tyler turned decluttering his tiny New York City apartment into a viral lifestyle brand Why physical clutter leads to mental clutter and family conflict Small ways to organize your home to make room for what really matters in your life And some of the weird opportunities that have come Tyler's way since becoming the internet's favorite neat freak Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tyler Moore, the Tidy Dad 02:11 The chaos that led to a lifestyle change 04:20 Decluttering as a response to mental clutter 05:37 The importance of living in 'just enough' 08:13 Rethinking tidying beyond Marie Kondo 09:35 Seasonal decluttering and timing tips 11:01 How to start decluttering effectively 15:46 The connection between mental and physical clutter 20:42 The growth of the Tidy Dad movement 27:15 Lifestyle beyond organization: health, wellness, and joy 34:11A simple journaling practice for clarity 36:18 The impact of a calm morning on family life 38:42 Staying connected with the Tidy Dad community
You eat well, exercise regularly, meditate, manage your stress and genuinely try to take care of yourself, so why don't you feel better? Sometimes, the answer isn't that you need to try harder or add another healthy habit. Through the Ayurvedic lens, there may be another question worth asking: Does your body currently have the capacity to digest, process and assimilate everything you're giving it? In this episode, Colette explores why healthy habits can sometimes stop feeling helpful and how factors such as stress, sensory input, lifestyle, seasonal changes, accumulation and digestive capacity can influence how we experience our health and wellbeing. You'll learn more about the Ayurvedic concepts of Agni and Ama, why digestion involves more than just the food we eat, and why sometimes creating space, simplifying our routines and reducing unnecessary inputs can be more supportive than continually adding more. In this episode, we explore: Why doing "all the right things" doesn't always mean you'll feel your best The Ayurvedic concept of Agni and our capacity to digest, metabolise and process What Ama means within the Ayurvedic understanding of incomplete digestion and metabolism How accumulation can occur when we're continually taking in more than we have the capacity to process Why stress and nervous system load can change the way we experience digestion Why how you eat can be just as important as what you eat How your digestive capacity can change with your stress, sleep, activity, age, lifestyle and the seasons Why sometimes the body needs less stimulation, less input and more space How simplifying your routine can support digestion, elimination and restoration Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th. This Ayurvedic cleanse is designed to gently remove accumulation, strengthen digestion, and help you re-establish daily rhythm while learning about your unique constitution and patterns.

This is a Vintage episode from 2012.Why This Episode MattersChef Paul Virant explains how preservation can extend truly seasonal cooking well beyond the growing season.Canning and pickling can deepen a restaurant's relationship with local farmers while creating new possibilities in the kitchen and behind the bar.Preserving peak-season ingredients isn't necessarily cheaper. The value comes from flavor, identity and having something uniquely your own.From pickled vegetables and aigre-doux to cocktail ingredients, preserves can become ingredients rather than simply condiments.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott visit DeBragga & Spitler and get a hands-on look at dry-aged beef at different stages of the aging process. They talk about why properly aged meat costs more, what actually happens to a piece of beef as it ages, and why tasting and comparing things side by side is one of the best ways to learn.The ConversationChef Paul Virant joins Mark and Francis to talk about The Preservation Kitchen and the preservation program that became a signature of his acclaimed restaurant Vie.For Paul, preserving wasn't simply about opening a jar of pickles alongside a dish. Brines, pickled vegetables, preserved fruits and sweet-and-sour preparations became building blocks in his cooking adding acidity, contrast and unexpected flavor to everything from roasted meats to cocktails.The conversation explores the practical side of cooking seasonally in places like Chicago and New Jersey, where the growing season doesn't last all year. Paul and the Guys discuss buying directly from farmers, preserving crops when they're at their peak, reducing waste and creating a restaurant pantry that reflects the local harvest long after summer is over.They also get into the economics. Preserving food takes ingredients, jars, storage and substantial labor, and it often costs more than simply buying a commercial product. The payoff is something different: exceptional ingredients captured at their best, stronger relationships with farmers and food that belongs uniquely to your restaurant.Also: home winemaking gone wrong, preserving fruit with spirits, using every drop of a pickling brine, and Paul's beer-jam Manhattan made with Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.Guest BioPaul Virant is an acclaimed Chicago-area chef known for his focus on seasonal Midwestern ingredients, preservation and relationships with local farmers. His restaurant Vie earned a Michelin star and operated in Western Springs, Illinois, for 19 years before closing in 2023. Virant currently operates Petite Vie in Western Springs, Vistro Prime in Hinsdale and Gaijin in Chicago.He is the author, with Kate Leahy, of The Preservation Kitchen: The Craft of Making and Cooking with Pickles, Preserves, and Aigre-doux, originally published in 2012.Timestamps00:00 Dry-aged beef and why artisan food costs more 05:45 Paul Virant on preserving the seasons 11:30 How preserves become part of the cooking 15:30 Working with farmers and preserving the harvest 17:45 Beer-jam Manhattans and unexpected uses for preserves 25:45 Why preserving isn't cheaper, yet it's still worth doingInfoPaul's bookThe Preservation KitchenPaul Virant with Kate LeahyPaul's Places (all in Illinois)Petite Vie Vistro Prime GaijinWe're bringing our kitchen to the farm!Join us at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ for a Table-to-Farm Dinner.Sunday, September 13 @ 5:30https://www.stageleft.com/event/91326-table-to-farm-dinner/ Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

In this episode, Professor AG talks about the power of slowing down, giving yourself more grace, and creating routines that actually support the season of life you're in. She shares how she shifted away from the “all-or-nothing” mindset and learned that real transformation comes from small, consistent changes instead of constantly pushing herself harder. From nervous system regulation and the importance of repetition to the idea of getting 1% better every day, she shares how tiny shifts can create big changes over time. She reminds you that you don't have to do everything at once. You can choose what matters most in this season and build a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and supportive.Links from this episode-Atomic Habits by James Clear-Facial brush-Sea Moss Gel -Bone broth-Cocoa-The Brick for iPhone-Clinique black honey mascara -If you're interested in hiring a virtual assistant, click the link HERE to book a call with the recruiting company.

September is starting with a new set of challenges for investors: rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices, persistent inflation, renewed geopolitical tensions, and growing questions about whether the Federal Reserve may have to raise rates again. Add historically weak September seasonality and the uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections, and investors have plenty to think about.

Seasonal allergies are affecting many people across the area, and Samantha Rux of OSF St. Luke Medical Center recently joined Ken Peele on Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss allergy prevention, when to seek medical care, and several upcoming OSF community activities. Rux said seasonal allergies can develop at different points in a person's life. Some people experience them as children and eventually grow out of them, while others may not develop noticeable symptoms until adulthood. Common symptoms can include a stuffy or congested nose, itchy eyes, and other irritation caused by allergens in the air. Preventing and Managing Seasonal Allergies Rux emphasized that people who know they suffer from seasonal allergies should be proactive about managing their symptoms. One important step is beginning an antihistamine routine before symptoms become severe, particularly during the spring and fall allergy seasons. Rux noted that medications can take some time to become fully effective. Other steps people can take include: Keeping windows closed when allergens are high Wearing a mask when doing outdoor chores Paying attention to pollen counts Starting allergy medication before symptoms become severe Working with a primary care provider to determine the best treatment Rux also explained that there are many different potential allergens in the air, so determining exactly what triggers a person's symptoms can be helpful. A primary care provider can discuss symptoms and, when appropriate, arrange allergy testing. Severe or untreated allergies can sometimes contribute to additional problems, including sinus infections. She added that primary care providers can help determine whether symptoms are simply allergies or whether something else may be developing. OSF St. Luke Offers Same-Day Care Options Rux reminded listeners that OSF Medical Group has primary care offices in Kewanee, Galva, and Sheffield. The offices offer primary care services and may have same-day appointment availability depending on the time of day and scheduling needs. Patients can call 309-852-7700 to inquire about an appointment. OSF patients can also use OSF MyChart to access services and schedule appointments online. Preparing for the New School Year With school back in session, Rux also reminded parents about school and sports physicals. Students who decide to participate in sports after initially not planning to do so may need a sports physical. OSF providers can help accommodate those appointments. OSF St. Luke will also continue working with local schools and plans to participate in upcoming activities, including a high school career fair in September. OSF Getting Involved in Hog Days Hog Days is another major event on OSF St. Luke's community calendar. OSF St. Luke is a major sponsor of the Hog Days Stampede, and the OSF OnCall King Caravan will be located near the Stampede finish line. Rux said the mobile health clinic will be available for community members who may want to learn more about the services offered or take advantage of available screenings. OSF will also have an entry in the Hog Days Parade, with mission partners participating along the parade route. Finding OSF Information Online Rux encouraged residents to keep up with OSF St. Luke's latest information through its website and social media channels. Information is available at OSFHealthCare.org, OSFStLuke.org, and on Facebook at OSF St. Luke Medical Center.

The U.S. National Grandparents Day is the 1st Sunday after Labor Day in September. In 2010, it falls on September 12th, and in 2011 on September 11th, also the anniversary of the 911 terrorism attacks. Marion McQuade of Oak Hill, West, Virginia, has been recognized nationally by the United States Senate, in particular by Senators Jennings, Randolph, and Robert Bird and by President Jimmy Carter.As the founder of National Grandparents Day. McQuade made it her contributions seniors have made throughout history. She also urged the youth to adopt a grandparent, not just for one day a year, but rather for a lifetime. In 1973, Senator Jennings Randolph introduced a resolution to the Senate to make grandparents day a national holiday. West Virginia's governor Arch Moore had proclaimed an annual grandparents' day for the state at the urging of Marion McQuade. When Senator Randolph's resolution to the U.S. Senate died in committee, Marion McQuaid organized supporters and began contacting governors, senators, and congressmen in all 50 states. She urged each state to proclaim their own grandparents' day. Within 3 years, she had received grandparents' day proclamations from 43 states. She sent copies of the proclamations to Senator Randolph.In February 1977, Senator Randolph, with the concurrence of many other senators, introduced a joint resolution to the Senate, requesting the president to issue annually a proclamation designating first Sunday of September after Labor Day of each year as national grandparents day. Congress passed the legislation, proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day, and on August 3rd, 1978, then President Jimmy Carter signed the proclamation. The statute cites the day's purpose as, “To honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”Another Warm Thought: re: forget-me-not. The official flower of the U.S. National Grandparents Day is the forget-me-not, which blooms in the spring. Seasonal flowers are often given in appreciation to grandparents on this special day. God bless grandparents, and may God bless America and our world.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.Published in the Marion Record, September 8th, 2011.Download the Found Photo Freebie and cherish your memories of the past.Enjoy flipping through the Vintage Photo Book on your coffee table.I hope you enjoyed this podcast episode!

Episode OverviewCaptain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides returns to The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast for another Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report, breaking down how a fresh round of heavy late summer rain has muddied the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers and reshaped smallmouth positioning heading into Labor Day. Shumaker explains how localized thunderstorm tracks determine which branch of the Susquehanna blows out and which stays clean, meaning anglers who understand the West Branch/North Branch dynamic on the Susquehanna and the Juniata Valley's own storm patterns can often salvage half a river rather than write off an entire day. He details a mud line strategy for fishing the boundary between clear and discolored water and lays out when to stick with "bug" patterns tight to clear banks versus when to switch to intermediate lines and streamers in colors like black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange once water clarity drops off. As rising but still fishable flows push Susquehanna smallmouth tighter onto mid-river structure such as grass beds, islands and rock ledges, Shumaker also covers how those fish use discolored water the same way they use shade or cover, sitting in the murk to ambush prey. On the seasonal side, he notes that a lack of an early hard frost could extend the region's topwater bite into the back half of September.Key TakeawaysHow to read localized thunderstorm tracks to figure out which branch of the Susquehanna will blow out and which stays fishableWhy smallmouth bass hold in muddy or discolored water as an ambush point the same way they use shade or grass coverWhen to switch from "bug" fishing tight to clear banks over to streamer fishing once you move more than about five feet into discolored waterHow rising but still fishable Susquehanna flows push smallmouth bass tighter onto mid-river structure like grass beds, islands and rock ledgesWhy the lack of an early hard frost can extend Pennsylvania's topwater bite into late SeptemberHow to pick streamer colors like black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange with intermediate lines for muddy high water smallmouth fishingTechniques & Gear CoveredShumaker walks through a mud line approach that targets the seam between clear and discolored water where smallmouth bass concentrate during high flows alongside a two-track presentation strategy that pairs "bug" patterns fished tight to clear banks with streamer fishing once anglers move into muddier water. For the streamer side, he favors intermediate lines paired with baitfish-style patterns in black-and-purple or chartreuse-and-orange color combinations chosen for visibility in reduced-clarity conditions. He also touches on the difference between fishing wide island-studded water like the Susquehanna, where rising flows push bass onto mid-river grass beds, islands and rock ledges rather than tight to the bank, and smaller water where high flows more directly push fish toward bank structure.Locations & SpeciesThe report centers on the Susquehanna River, where the confluence of the West Branch and the North Branch determines which side of the river runs clean after localized storms, along with the Juniata River and its own Juniata Valley watershed. Target species is smallmouth bass, with Shumaker describing how rising but still fishable flows concentrate fish tighter onto mid-river grass beds, islands and rock ledges rather than spreading them out as they would be in normal lower water. Seasonally, the report is set in late summer heading into Labor Day, with Shumaker noting that, barring an early hard frost, the topwater bite could last into the back half of September.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow does thunderstorm track affect fishing conditions on the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers?Shumaker explains that because the Susquehanna is fed by a West Branch and a North Branch, storms tracking from the west without moving north will muddy the West Branch and roughly half the river while the North Branch-fed side stays clear. A similar pattern plays out on the Juniata and the two systems meet near Duncannon, so anglers can often find fishable water somewhere even after heavy rain.Why do smallmouth bass hold in muddy or discolored water during high flows?Shumaker notes that bass treat discolored water the same way they treat shade or grass cover using it as an ambush point where they can sit unseen and dart out to grab prey that swims by even though the fish cannot see the same distance in dirty water that they could in clear conditions.When should anglers switch from "bug" fishing to streamers in high water?According to Shumaker, visibility along the banks typically holds for about one to five feet before the water turns too dirty, so anglers can still fish bug patterns tight to the bank and in the shade. Once they move beyond that clear margin into discolored water, he recommends switching to intermediate lines and streamers since fish cannot see a surface bug's silhouette well in reduced clarity.How does rising water change where Susquehanna smallmouth position themselves?Shumaker explains that on a wide river system like the Susquehanna, rising but still fishable flows push smallmouth bass tighter onto mid-river structure such as grass beds, islands and rock ledges.Why might a late hard frost extend Pennsylvania's smallmouth topwater activity into late September and beyond?Shumaker says that, without an early hard frost, the region's damsel activity and flying ant hatch, both of which are already good in the July-through-August window, could keep producing solid topwater opportunities into the second half of September rather than tapering off as usual.Related ContentS8, Ep 59 - Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report: Captain Brian Shumaker's Late Summer StrategiesS8, Ep 56 - Topwater Tactics: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth ReportS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingS8, Ep 43 - Smallmouth Strategies and Seasonal Shifts: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania ReportView all Pennsylvania Smallmouth Reports with Brian ShumakerConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Have you ever found yourself saying, "I'm fine," even though you know you're exhausted? Maybe you've been living with bloating, poor sleep, low energy, headaches or digestive discomfort for so long that it has simply become your normal. You know something feels different, but life is busy, there are people depending on you, and there's always something else that seems more important. In Episode 458, we explored how Ayurveda views symptoms as messages from the body rather than problems to simply suppress. In this episode, we take the conversation a step further and explore why we so often ignore those messages in the first place. We've become fluent in the language of productivity, achievement and pushing through, but many of us have lost our fluency in the language of the body. We learn to override tiredness, rush through meals, ignore digestive discomfort and tell ourselves that poor sleep is "just stress" or that feeling exhausted is simply part of getting older. Colette shares some of the patterns she has observed through her work with clients, including how easily we can adapt to feeling less well and gradually lower our expectations of what it means to feel healthy and balanced. In this episode, we'll explore: Why we become accustomed to ignoring the body's early signals The psychology behind saying "I'm fine" when we're actually exhausted How modern life encourages us to push through and prioritise productivity Why symptoms can gradually become so normal that we stop questioning them The connection between youthful vitality and our ability to compensate for imbalance Why some of the habits we tolerated when we were younger may affect us differently as we age How Ayurveda encourages curiosity rather than judgement Why awareness is the first step towards meaningful change How to become more fluent in the language of your own body A simple daily question you can use to begin listening more closely Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.
