There comes a point when you start to notice patterns. Your skin flares after certain meals, bloating lingers through the week, and your body feels a little more reactive than it used to. Especially in midlife, it is easy to wonder: Is it hormones, stress, aging, or something deeper happening in the gut? Dr. Mina sits down with Dr. Pia Prakash, a board-certified gastroenterologist and passionate educator on gut health. Together, they unpack the science behind the gut microbiome, inflammation, leaky gut, SIBO, diet patterns, perimenopause, and why conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and hidradenitis often flare alongside digestive symptoms. You will learn what truly supports gut health (hint: not a cleanse), how antibiotics and alcohol factor in, and why midlife can bring new skin and GI changes. If you are navigating acne in adulthood, rosacea, psoriasis, bloating, perimenopause changes, or you simply want to care for your skin from the inside out, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, grounded, and supported. Share it with a friend who needs the reassurance that she is not alone.

Step into the ashes of a fallen world in this Lore Episode for Campaign 3: Crownfall, narrated by Matt, your Dungeon Master. Before the heroes of this campaign ever take their first steps, this episode unveils the catastrophic events that transformed the realm of Avarinth into a fractured, war-torn landscape teetering on the edge of collapse.Discover the ancient conflict with the Void Tyrant, the rise of Issarok the Blood Howler, and the gnoll hordes that now ravage the land. Learn how the fall of the Rose Citadel reshaped the continent, how the gods were forced to look away, and how an archmage's desperate ritual tore open a reality-breaking rift—an anomaly that hums, breathes, and casts no shadow.Matt also reveals the survival-focused tone of Crownfall: a Last-of-Us-style dystopian world fused with Stranger Things-like otherworldly mystery. Expect new house rules, new types of light, limited safe havens, and a constant sense of danger as players navigate both the devastated overworld and the unknown horrors within the rift.If you're new to Twenty Sides or preparing to dive into Crownfall, this episode gives you everything you need to understand the stakes, the setting, and the world's descent into darkness.Subscribe, follow, and prepare—Crownfall begins soon, and survival is not guaranteed.Want more Twenty Sides?

Send me a messageCan your pension quietly sabotage your climate and supply chain goals without you ever knowing?What if one of the biggest risks to resilience isn't logistics or energy, but where your money sleeps at night?In this episode, I'm joined by Scott Ryan, founder and CEO of Investature, to unpack a part of the sustainability conversation that's usually ignored. Finance. Specifically, the financial supply chain hidden inside pensions, retirement plans, and long-term investments. And why it matters now, when climate risk, stranded assets, and resilience are colliding.We dig into why pensions, with their 20–30 year horizons, are paradoxically funding the very risks they're meant to protect against. You'll hear how financial supply chains can dwarf Scope 1, 2, and even Scope 3 emissions, and why most sustainability strategies still fail to account for them. We break down why reallocating even 1% of global capital could materially close the climate finance gap, without sacrificing returns or fiduciary responsibility.You might be surprised to learn why bonds, not equities, may be the most powerful lever for climate action, how “double bottom line” investing actually works in practice, and why education and incentives matter more than regulation alone. Scott also explains why ESG has become a distraction, and how clearer, data-driven financial choices can drive real behaviour change across organisations and supply chains.If you care about supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, and visibility, this conversation connects dots most people never see. Quietly. Uncomfortably. Usefully.

Well Sh*t. It really is that simple - Episode 187 - "How conflict avoidance often causes more conflict" is now LIVE!Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuideWhen we avoid conflict we are actually avoiding communication and resolution which is ironically what is needed to avoid further conflict. Avoiding something that is present because it feels uncomfortable in the moment, especially in our close relationships, can make things significantly more uncomfortable in the future. More often than not we chose to wait and avoid conflict, hoping for little things to blow over and we are actually be setting ourselves up for a hurricane.

Episode Summary: In this Somnilopod episode, we explore one of the most surprising and powerful sleep connections in modern wellness science: the gut–sleep axis. You'll learn how your gut microbiome, digestion, hormones, and the vagus nerve all play a role in how easily you fall asleep, how deeply you stay asleep, and how refreshed you feel the next morning. What We Cover: The "second brain" living in your gut and what it tells your nervous system How gut bacteria influence serotonin, melatonin, and GABA Why late-night eating disrupts deep sleep cycles The stress → gut → sleep loop that keeps people wired and overtired Practical ways to support gut health for better sleep Everyday habits that strengthen the gut–brain connection How food timing affects circadian rhythms Simple, evidence-based lifestyle changes for more restorative rest

From the time he was a child, he knew something wasn't right in his room. The darkness felt heavier there. Shapes lingered at the window. Whispers never quite formed into words, but they were enough to make him cry, enough to make him beg to sleep somewhere else. As he got older, the activity didn't stop — it changed. A candle flickered and burned without ever being lit. Scratching echoed from inside the walls. Voices began calling his name from empty rooms, sometimes sounding exactly like the people he trusted most. Late at night, lights snapped on, doors rattled, and something moved through the apartment when no one should have been awake. What made it worse was the silence around it. When he asked questions, he was told to stop talking. When he was afraid, he was dismissed. And when someone else finally saw something watching him sleep, the truth didn't bring relief — it brought more questions. Years later, a single conversation revealed that this hadn't started with him at all. That whatever followed him had been known… and deliberately ignored.  #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #HauntedApartment #ShadowFigure #VoicesInTheDark #RealHaunting #ParanormalPodcast #UnexplainedActivity #SupernaturalEncounters #TrueParanormal  Love real ghost stories?

He's passionate about neuro-affirming play for all ages.Play is both a healing tool, and can help prevent some of the effects of trauma (we touch on this lightly, a concept I learned from Linda Thai) One possible way to apply the play styles is noticing which ones speak to you, and which ones you're already engaging in, then leaning into those.The ebook is free, and it's a quick and excellent read!Apologies for the audio quality.

A unique study of the only physical manuscript containing Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as both a material and literary object.In this book, Arthur Bahr takes a fresh look at the four poems and twelve illustrations of the so-called “Pearl-Manuscript,” the only surviving medieval copy of two of the best-known Middle English poems: Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In Chasing the Pearl-Manuscript, Bahr explores how the physical manuscript itself enhances our perception of the poetry, drawing on recent technological advances (such as spectroscopic analysis) to show the Pearl-Manuscript to be a more complex piece of material, visual, and textual art than previously understood. By connecting the manuscript's construction to the intricate language in the texts, Bahr suggests new ways to understand both what poetry is and what poetry can do. Arthur Bahr is professor of literature and MacVicar Faculty Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Fragments and Assemblages: Forming Compilations of Medieval London, also published by the University of Chicago Press.

What if the words we use about “disease” are the very net that keeps us sick? We dig into how language molds perception, fuels fear, and quietly dictates choices, then swap myth for physiology: toxins burden terrain, cells adapt, and health returns when we support the body's design. From there, we move into practical, grounded steps—daily detox rhythms, mineral sufficiency, gut repair, and light-based therapies—that restore capacity rather than wage war on symptoms.We unpack pearl powder's long history and why minerals matter as the “batteries” of enzymes that power antioxidant systems. We break down pleural effusions without jargon—why fluid collects, when drainage helps, and how pleurodesis can reduce recurrence—while keeping the focus on rebuilding the terrain so the fluid stops coming back. Parasite concerns get a sober plan: appropriate dosing, liver labs, and cleansing so debris exits instead of spreading. Infrared and photobiology get their due as gentle mitochondrial modulators when integrated with real food, sleep, hydration, and stress hygiene.Gut dysbiosis is reframed as imbalance, not an enemy. Fasting windows, fiber-rich plants, colon hygiene, and consistent circadian cues help repopulate a healthy biome. Thyroid health takes center stage with iodine repletion and targeted support to stabilize immune tone. And when symptoms like unilateral foot numbness appear, we emphasize pattern-based assessment over labels so you can choose the right next step with confidence.This is a call to reclaim your story: clear language, simple habits, and smart tools aligned with biology. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a different lens on “disease,” and leave a review with the one term you want decoded next.Send us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

Send us a textCan group intention really heal, influence biology, and change reality? In this episode, we explore the science of collective consciousness and focused intention with investigative journalist and bestselling author Lynne McTaggart (The Field, The Intention Experiment, The Power of Eight).Lynne shares compelling evidence from large-scale group intention experiments showing how human consciousness can measurably affect the physical world — from biological changes in plants to improved health outcomes and reductions in community violence. Designed with independent scientists, these studies challenge conventional ideas about mind, matter, and healing.We trace Lynne's journey from sceptical reporter to pioneer of intention research, and break down what actually works: why specific intentions outperform vague wishing, why short 10-minute intention windows are most effective, and how collective focus supports nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and healing.Lynne also introduces The Power of Eight®, a simple weekly practice where small groups focus intention for one person at a time — often producing remarkable physical, emotional, and psychological shifts.The takeaway is practical and empowering: consciousness connects us, and when aligned with clarity and compassion, intention can heal and transform — personally and collectively.Ready to test your mind's reach?

Deep sea hydrothermal vents reveal a hidden world where life thrives without sunlight, forcing scientists to rethink how ecosystems can exist in extreme heat, pressure, and darkness. Nearly two kilometers beneath the Pacific Ocean, superheated fluids erupt from the seafloor at Endeavour, creating environments that challenge everything we thought we knew about life on Earth and how it survives. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are not isolated deep ocean curiosities, they actively influence the chemistry of the entire Pacific Ocean. In this episode, scientists explain how minerals and iron released at Endeavour can be traced thousands of kilometers across the ocean, fueling productivity far from the vents themselves and connecting deep ocean processes to surface ecosystems in surprising ways. Ocean Networks Canada enables this discovery through one of only two cabled deep-sea observatories in the world, allowing scientists to monitor volcanic activity, chemistry, and biodiversity in real time. This episode explores why Endeavour is one of the most important natural laboratories on the planet, what it teaches us about the origins of life, and how it may even help us understand life beyond Earth. Surprising insight: the fluids released at Endeavour do not disappear into the ocean, they can be chemically traced across the entire Pacific, meaning deep-sea activity shapes ocean life on a planetary scale.   Help fund a new seagrass podcast: https://www.speakupforblue.com/seagrass Join the Undertow: https://www.speakupforblue.com/jointheundertow Connect with Speak Up For Blue Website: https://bit.ly/3fOF3Wf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3rIaJSG TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@speakupforblue Twitter: https://bit.ly/3rHZxpc YouTube: www.speakupforblue.com/youtube    

Storytelling can inspire us to take action on the ever-worsening climate crisis. Ali Horriyat and Cathryn Bancroft join forces in writing a new cli-fi book, The Hollow Age, which dares to ask the question: if our planet burns, do we run to another planet or risk everything to save it? Together with Corinna Bellizzi, they discuss how they use fiction to shed light on the alarming realities of the earth right now. Ali and Cathryn also break down the best ways to address the immigration problem in the United States and what it truly takes to begin a social revolution that leads to a real difference. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT: https://caremorebebetter.com/into-the-hollow-age-with-ali-horriyat-cathryn-bancroft/ About Guests: Ali and Cathryn are the co-authors of new cli-fi dystopian novel "The Hollow Age," from Compassiviste Publishing. When Ali contacted Cathryn about a collaboration with Compassiviste, she was excited to work on a novel that doesn't try to sugarcoat the trouble our world is in, but doesn't try to convince us it's hopeless, either.

What if the traditions we were taught to ignore are actually the very things shaping our faith?In this episode of Restoring Our City, Jobbin and Jeswin dive into a candid, honest, and surprisingly fun conversation about Christian traditions, Christmas, and church history—through the lens of growing up as South Asian Christians in America.From midnight Christmas services and fruitcake debates to Advent, Lent, and the tension between ritual and relationship, this episode wrestles with a big question many of us carry:

Send us a textA minute that leaves you breathless can rival eight minutes of comfortable effort. That's the eye-opening takeaway we unpack as we dive into fresh UK Biobank data showing how vigorous activity dramatically outperforms moderate and light movement for reducing all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, diabetes, and even cancer risk. We strip away jargon and use the talk test—can you sing, speak, or barely get a sentence out?—so anyone can gauge intensity without a lab or a smartwatch.We explore why intensity pays off under the hood: stronger left ventricular function, bigger stroke volume, better oxygen delivery, improved lactate recycling, greater capillary and mitochondrial density, and faster glycogen turnover. Then we get practical. No fancy gear required—try telephone-pole intervals on a walk, short hill surges, a flight of stairs at speed, or breathless bursts during yardwork and shoveling. Keep light movement threaded through your day to counter the stress signals of sitting, but add slim, safe slices of intensity to unlock outsized benefits when time is tight.We also lay out a sane progression. Find a steady state before nudging harder, start with tiny intervals, and build toward an 80 percent moderate base with 10 to 20 percent vigorous effort. Fold in resistance training to protect muscle, strength, and glucose control. The goal isn't punishment; it's leverage—using a few honest minutes to gain more health per unit of time. If you've ever wondered how to make movement matter more, this conversation offers a clear path you can start today. If it helps, share it with a friend, subscribe for more science-backed self-care, and leave a review to tell us your first vigorous minute.For video, PowerPoint slide deck and reference studies go to www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

This episode is a transmission. Recorded live with a studio audience as part of our pilgrimage preparation, this conversation with Robert Edward Grant is a distilled journey into the mathematics of consciousness, the intelligence encoded in sacred sites, and the way reality reshapes itself through collective coherence. Robert is a true polymath — mathematician, inventor, artist, and explorer of ancient technologies — whose work bridges geometry, music, consciousness, and the mystery traditions. In this conversation, he reveals how pyramids function as mirrors of human awareness, why math may be the original language of God, and how sacred structures were designed to activate future timelines. This isn't about believing anything new.It's about remembering what you already know. If you've ever felt activated by sacred sites, fascinated by ancient civilizations, or curious about how consciousness actually shapes reality — this episode will land like a remembering. In this episode, we explore: • Why pyramids are mirrors of consciousness, not monuments • How math, music, and geometry encode spiritual intelligence • The role of individuation in divine awareness • How collective coherence creates “Mandela cascades” • Why ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we've been taught • How sacred sites communicate across timelines • What it means to bring heaven to earth — literally Key Moments: 00:00:01 — The pyramid as a mirror of consciousness 00:01:06 — Individuation as the universe's greatest value 00:02:21 — Why sacred sites activate you personally 00:03:36 — Can consciousness build structures through intention? 00:07:20 — Math as the language of God 00:11:08 — The musical notes hidden in pyramid geometry 00:12:53 — How Robert identified two previously unknown pyramids near Giza 00:15:04 — The 15th-century maps that revealed structures hiding in plain sight 00:26:02 — Collective coherence & shifting timelines 00:49:14 — Sacred sites as accelerators of remembrance About Robert Edward Grant Robert Edward Grant is a polymath, mathematician, artist, inventor, and consciousness researcher known for discovering new chambers in the Great Pyramid and identifying previously unknown pyramids on the Giza Plateau.

Overview This special episode of the [Tick Boot Camp Podcast](https://tickbootcamp.com/podcast/) was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and PCOM Symposium in collaboration with Pathobiome Perspectives. Hosted by Ali Moresco in partnership with Nikki Schultek, Executive Director of AlzPI, the conversation continues the Tick Boot Camp mission of exploring infection-associated chronic illness (IACI)—including Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections—within the global Alzheimer's and neuroimmunology research community. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen partnered with Ali and Nikki to highlight leading scientists connecting microbes, immune dysregulation, and neurodegenerative disease. This episode features Dr. Elizabeth “Betsy” Bradshaw, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, whose research investigates how past infections leave lasting imprints on the brain's immune system and influence the development of Alzheimer's disease. Guest Elizabeth M. Bradshaw, PhD Assistant Professor of Neurology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center Principal Investigator, Bradshaw Laboratory – Neuroimmunology and Genetics of Alzheimer's Dr. Bradshaw's laboratory focuses on the immune system's role in neurodegeneration, particularly how infection and inflammation alter brain immunity and predispose individuals to conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Her work builds on large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that identified immune-related genetic variants linked to Alzheimer's susceptibility, suggesting that subtle changes in immune function—not just neuronal factors—may underlie disease onset. Her team is exploring how pathogens such as HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1) interact with the brain's immune cells, known as microglia, and how these infections can “reprogram” immune responses long after the pathogen is cleared. Key Discussion Points Dr. Bradshaw explains how her research bridges genetics, immunology, and infectious disease to better understand Alzheimer's. Through GWAS data, her team found that many of the genes linked to Alzheimer's risk involve immune pathways rather than neuronal signaling. This discovery redirected the field's attention toward how immune cells respond to pathogens and environmental stressors across a lifetime. Using human-derived microglia-like cells created from blood monocytes, her team observes how infections reshape immune cell metabolism and memory. By infecting these microglia-like cells with Alzheimer's-associated pathogens like HSV-1, they study how genetic background and infection history determine immune cell behavior. The findings suggest that past infections may epigenetically and metabolically train microglia—changing how they respond to aging, stress, and amyloid buildup. Even when the infection has resolved, these “reprogrammed” immune cells can remain altered for decades, silently increasing the brain's vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Dr. Bradshaw emphasizes that understanding how infections rewire the brain's immune landscape could transform early intervention strategies. Identifying combinations of genetic risk factors and pathogen exposures may enable targeted prevention or immune-modulating treatments long before symptoms appear. “Microglia remember. Even after the pathogen is gone, they carry its imprint—responding differently decades later when the brain faces new challenges.” — Dr. Elizabeth Bradshaw Why It Matters Dr. Bradshaw's work reframes Alzheimer's disease as a neuroimmune condition shaped by infection and host genetics. Her research highlights how microbial exposures, immune history, and inflammation converge to influence cognitive decline. By integrating infection biology with genetics and immunology, her team is redefining how scientists and clinicians view the root causes of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. This work strengthens the growing case that the immune system's “memory” of infection may be one of the most important and overlooked factors in brain health and aging. About the Event This interview was recorded at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) Symposium, held October 3, 2025, at Ohio University in Dublin, Ohio. The event brought together more than 20 leading researchers exploring how microbes, the microbiome, and immune dysregulation contribute to Alzheimer's, dementia, and infection-associated chronic illness (IACI). Tick Boot Camp partnered with Ali Moresco and Nikki Schultek to share these conversations and connect chronic Lyme, infection, and neurodegenerative research communities.

Stories change how people think, feel, and choose to act, and the science behind that process has direct implications for fundraising success.In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes Cherian Koshy, vice president at Kindsight and a leading voice on the neuroscience of generosity, to explore how brain science explains donor behavior in major gifts and capital campaigns.Drawing from his new book Neurogiving: The Science of Donor Decision Making, Cherian shares research from hundreds of peer reviewed studies that explain how donors experience stories, make identity based decisions, and move from emotional connection to meaningful action. This conversation connects neuroscience with practical fundraising strategy, offering insight that campaign leaders, development staff, and board members can apply right away.The discussion opens with storytelling and brain chemistry. Cherian explains how narrative creates neural coupling, a process where the listener experiences the story at a physical and emotional level. This shared experience shapes understanding, memory, and motivation. Fundraisers learn why stories shape donor choices and how thoughtful language and narrative arcs influence how supporters experience a mission.The conversation then shifts to major and leadership gifts within capital campaigns. Cherian explains what happens in a donor's brain when considering a significant commitment. Rather than focusing on affordability, donors connect gifts to identity, values, nostalgia, and legacy. Amy and Cherian discuss how campaigns succeed when messaging reflects who donors see themselves becoming and how the project expresses that identity through impact rather than square footage.Decision friction and generosity decay form another core theme. Cherian outlines how delays, long processes, and complex steps slow generous intent. When emotional connection and action drift apart, motivation fades. Examples from campaign follow up, pledge processes, and online giving show how timing and simplicity keep donors engaged when enthusiasm runs high.The episode also examines campaign thermometers and the goal gradient effect. Cherian explains why campaigns gain momentum near the finish line and why the quiet phase plays a central role in building confidence and participation. Amy connects this science to proven capital campaign strategy, reinforcing the value of early leadership gifts, phased solicitation, and disciplined sequencing.Throughout the episode, listeners gain language, frameworks, and research grounded insight that explains why proven campaign practices work. This conversation equips fundraisers with science backed clarity that strengthens storytelling, major gift conversations, and campaign structure while building trust with donors, boards, and leadership teams.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton turn their attention to the often unseen, unheard, and under-acknowledged backbone of first responder work — dispatch (Amazon Affiliate).  Behind every call, every rescue, every crisis, and every tragedy is a dispatcher whose voice holds the line between chaos and control. But the constant tones, urgent voices, and life-or-death decisions take a toll on the mind and body that most people will never understand. This episode reveals how radio stress — the nonstop, high-stakes demands of dispatching — rewires your nervous system, impacts your sleep, affects your relationships, and alters how you experience the world even after the headset comes off.

As leaders, it's tempting to rush into what's next without pausing to reflect on what God has already done. But strong leadership requires wisdom — and wisdom grows through intentional reflection. In this episode, we look back on 2025 through the lens of leadership, personal growth, and spiritual discernment. You'll learn how to evaluate your year without guilt, pressure, or comparison — and how to step forward with clarity and confidence. We walk through five questions every strong leader should ask: What were my biggest wins? What drained my energy? What do I want to repeat? What should I let go of? What are my priorities? This episode will help you slow down, gain wisdom, and align your next steps with God's plan — before you set goals or make new commitments. If you're ready to lead with intention, clarity, and peace as you move forward, this episode is for you.

Imagine a small town where neighbors gather for every celebration, and people stay remarkably healthy simply because they're deeply connected. Research shows that meaningful relationships—not achievement, diet, or even exercise—are the strongest predictor of long-term health and happiness, while loneliness can be as harmful as smoking two packs a day. Our social bonds influence gene expression, lowering stress and inflammation and activating the body's natural healing pathways. By prioritizing kindness, investing in uplifting relationships, and creating simple moments of togetherness, we tap into one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. And the hopeful truth is that building just a few authentic connections can change your life in profound, measurable ways. In this episode, I discuss, along with Radha Agrawal and Jeff Rosenthal, why deep, authentic connection is one of the most powerful determinants of our physical health, happiness, and longevity. Radha Agrawal is the co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early-morning dance and wellness movement. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of a new book called Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. Jeff is the Co-Founder of Summit, a cutting-edge organization best known for hosting global ideas, festivals and events, and is the co-owner, principal designer, and developer of Summit Powder Mountain and Powder Mountain ski resort in Eden, Utah.
