In this episode, performance nutritionist Daniel Davey discusses how his approach to elite sports nutrition has evolved over his career. Davey reflects on his decade working with top Irish teams (Dublin GAA/football and Leinster Rugby) and how stepping away from those environments led him to rethink the role of a nutrition practitioner. The central theme is a shift from a traditional prescriptive model, where the expert provides meal plans and quick solutions, to a philosophy centered on athlete empowerment, education, and long-term habit development. Davey emphasizes that true high performance is achieved not by spoon-feeding athletes every nutrient, but by cultivating their independence, adaptability, and ownership of the process. This episode delves into practical strategies for fostering that ownership, such as encouraging self-reflection, building a supportive “nutrition culture,” and focusing on sustainable habits over short-term fixes. This discussion is highly relevant to nutrition science and clinical practice because it addresses the often-overlooked behavioral and cultural aspects of dietary change. Health professionals will recognize parallels to coaching clients in any setting: the importance of engaging individuals in their own nutrition planning, the value of reflective practice, and the balance between providing support and encouraging autonomy.

Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on our planet. They are a boon for plants, animals, and people alike. However, sea level rise is changing these ecosystems and the communities that rely on them. Join me and Dr. Keryn Gedan as we explore the links between sea level rise, wetland migration, and ghost forests and learn how communities are bracing themselves for adapting to these changes.

Tonight we recap the GS-31 for the f2p who recently finished their 100 day journey on how it works and how to use the refinery, as well as what it pays, but the big revelation tonight comes in new Serene Squall research, loops, and refinery payouts.... Did we miss the biggest benefit of all for G6 players? IS this ship as influential as Monaveen was? or Revenant? JulesVern has the answers.

Nutrition science plays a pivotal role in shaping public health advice, but the influence of industry funding on research has become a pressing concern. In this episode we want to examine whether we can trust nutrition studies funded by food and beverage companies, and how you can discern study credibility. The discussion is highly relevant in today's landscape, where conflicts of interest and bias in research are under scrutiny amidst debates on sugar, processed foods, and diet recommendations. By exploring how industry sponsorship might skew results or interpretations, this episode speaks to broader issues of scientific trustworthiness and evidence-based policy in nutrition and public health. In this episode, we take a look at some recent publications that showed how study results and reporting differed significantly depending on if industry had funded the study or not. We delve into how this happens. As most often it is not a case of data fabrication or corruption, but rather how bias leads to studies being designed and reported differently. We walk through some examples, as well as highlighting some industry-funded studies that didn't provide a “pro-industry” result and conclusion. The hope is that the episode allows you to understand why this is a problem, how to spot it, and how to know if you can trust the results of an industry-funded study.

Lorenza Di Lella"Proprietà privata"Julia DeckPrehistorica Editorewww.prehistoricaeditore.ittraduzione "Proprietà privata" a cura di Francesca Scala e Lorenza Di LellaEva è un'urbanista parigina che lavora attorno alla “nozione di spazio incerto” che coltiva sul balcone del suo appartamento. Col marito Charles, professore universitario afflitto da depressione e che vive rinchiuso sedato nella sua camera, decide di lasciare Parigi per prendere casa in un ecoquartiere di periferia.“Era tempo di comprare. La nostra scelta cadde su un piccolo comune in pieno slancio, sicuri di fare un buon investimento. Già svariati mesi prima di traslocare avevamo preso le misure dei mobili. Non vedevamo l'ora di vivere finalmente a casa nostra. E forse avremmo potuto realizzare quel sogno se, una settimana dopo esserci insediati, i Lecoq non si fossero trasferiti dall'altra parte del muro.”Annabelle, del resto, è la vicina indesiderabile, quella che non conosce pudore, che prende in prestito lo zerbino, che ascolta e spia, e che provoca un po' tutti, soprattutto gli uomini. Con questa presenza invadente, unitamente a quella del gatto rosso dei Lecoq – che entra nella casa degli altri quando vuole – la vita che si preannunciava idilliaca diventa un vero incubo. Tanto che Charles Caradec, marito di Eva, la narratrice di questo romanzo crudele, non regge. Quando progetta di uccidere Pel di carota, la sua vita e quella di tutta la comunità degenera.Al di là del cinismo che attraversa queste pagine, del sorriso che suscita, si prova una sorta di terrore davanti a questo quadro iperrealista della nostra epoca.

Large seed dispersers are disproportionately affected by human disturbances like habitat loss and poaching. At the same time, a disproportionate number of tropical tree species rely on animals for seed dispersal. What happens when these animals disappear from an area? Do forests suffer and how might this impact things like carbon cycling and climate? Join me and Dr. Evan Fricke as we explore these questions and more.

The Dow Jones lost 1.23% on Friday, the S&P 500 fell 1.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq ended the day down 2.24%.The all-important July jobs report came in weaker-than-expected with an expansion of just 73,000 in nonfarm payrolls for the month, well short of the 100,000 economists were expecting signalling economic weakness at a time Trump's latest tariffs were imposed.In Europe on Friday markets closed lower after Trump's latest slew of tariffs came into effect despite the UK and EU having already negotiated trade deals. The STOXX 600 fell 2.7% on Friday while Germany's DAX lost 2.66%, the French CAC ended the day down 2.91%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 closed Friday's session down 0.7%.Across the Asia region on Friday markets also closed lower after Trump modified his tariffs on the region. Japan's Nikkei lost 0.66%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 1.07%, China's CSI index declined 0.51% and South Korea's Kospi index ended the day down a sharp 3.88%.Locally on Friday the ASX200 posted a 0.9% loss to end a solid trading week as investor sentiment was dented by Trump's latest tariff moves on copper and key trade partners, and investors reassessed positions to start the new month ahead of key earnings results updates and as the market hovers around all-time highs.Star Entertainment Group (ASX:SGR) tanked over 13% on Friday after the embattled casino operator's sale of its Queen's Wharf precinct to its Hong-Kong based JV partner collapsed.Sleep apnoea treatment leader ResMed (ASX:RMD) rallied over 1% on Friday after posting another quarter of strong results including double digit revenue growth and higher-than-expected margin expansion in the latest quarter.What to watch today:The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 64.72 US cents, 95.29 Japanese yen, 48.70 British pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 9 cents.Ahead of Monday's trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day down 0.4%.Trading ideas:Bell Potter has initiated coverage of Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) with a sell rating and a 12-month price target of $2.00 as the analyst believes the company is a great business but is overpriced. 2H25 earnings are also expected to be weaker (relative to 1H25) as is the normal seasonal trend. We expect a convergence on consensus earnings for FY26 following FY25 reporting in August.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Mader Group (ASX:MAD) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 29-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $7.15 to the range of $5.70 to $6.00 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

In recent years “Zone 2 training” has gained immense popularity in fitness and health circles, often being proclaimed the “best” cardiovascular training for metabolic health. Zone 2 training is sustained, low-intensity exercise below the lactate threshold that is commonly employed by many elite level endurance athletes, with a variety of proposed performance benefits. This led to interest from health-conscious folks about its ability to improve markers like VO2 max and mitochondrial function, which are associated with better health outcomes and longevity. Prof. Brendon Gurd, an exercise physiologist at Queen's University, is the co-author of a recent review published in Sports Medicine that examined some of the claims made around zone 2 training and health in the general population. This episode looks at whether the evidence truly supports Zone 2 as a uniquely effective training zone or if this hype has outpaced the research. These insights help professionals and individuals make evidence-based recommendations and avoid unintended negative consequences of following certain ideas. About The Guest Dr. Brendon Gurd is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, where his research focuses on exercise physiology and skeletal muscle adaptation. His work explores how different intensities and types of exercise influence mitochondrial content and function in muscle tissue, with the goal of understanding how to optimize health and performance through training.

Seed dispersal is a vital ecological process no matter what scale you look at. From the genetic diversity of plant populations to the impact of forests on climate, how plants move around the landscape and regenerate is one of the most important processes on Earth. So, what happens when plants lose seed their seed dispersers? How do things like poaching and habitat loss affect these ecological relationships?

Fructose has often been labeled a uniquely damaging nutrient, blamed for obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic diseases. But does fructose truly have unique harmful effects or are the risks associated with it related to context and quantity? The episode explores how fructose is metabolized in the body, why it gained a reputation for being problematic, and what the scientific evidence says about fructose in our diets. You will gain insight into why fructose was singled out in the past (e.g., its unique pathway in the liver and lack of insulin response), and how newer studies put those concerns into context. It covers important nuances for practitioners and health-conscious individuals, especially given public confusion and fear around fructose (even in fruit). Guest Information Dr. Scott Harding, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Department of Biochemistry at Memorial University of Newfoundland. His research explores the complex interactions between diet, metabolism, and chronic disease, with a particular emphasis on the metabolic effects of dietary sugars (especially fructose), the role of fats and phytosterols in lipid metabolism, and how public health policies like sugar taxation influence population health outcomes.

Their ancestors once dominated the coal swamps of the Carboniferous Period, growing into massive trees that could reach upwards of 160 feet (50 m) into the canopy. Today, the quillworts (Isoetes spp.) are all that remains of this lineage. Though cosmopolitan in their distribution, quillworts can be hard to find unless you know where to look. Luckily, there are people like Dr. David Wickell who have placed them at the center of their scientific focus. Dr. Wickell is hard at work helping to uncover the mysteries of these wonderfully strange lycophytes. Join us as we revisit a conversation that covers everything from CAM photosynthesis to the role of hybridization in speciation in these incredible and mysterious plants.

Vitamin A is often one of the less-discussed micronutrients in relation to bone health, taking a back seat to nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Yet this fat-soluble vitamin plays a fundamental role in skeletal development, remodeling, and mineral homeostasis. It influences gene expression in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and contributes to the regulation of bone turnover throughout the lifespan. But what makes vitamin A particularly interesting, and controversial, is that its effects on bone appear to follow a double-edged pattern. While it's essential for bone formation, several large epidemiological studies have suggested that chronically high intakes of preformed vitamin A may actually increase the risk of osteoporosis and fracture, especially when consumed as retinol from supplements or high-liver diets. And yet, the picture is not so clear-cut. This raises compelling questions: Is the concern over vitamin A and bone health justified, or is it a case of context-dependent risk? Can vitamin A, when combined with adequate levels of D and K, actually support bone strength? And are there thresholds above or below which risk increases? In this episode, we explore the human evidence on vitamin A and skeletal health, looking not only at fracture outcomes and bone mineral density data, but also at nutrient interactions, mechanistic plausibility, and the implications for supplement use in well-nourished populations.

The idea that saturated fat might be harmful to our health has sparked controversy for decades. In recent years, counter-narratives have surged: suggesting that concerns over saturated fat were overblown, that LDL cholesterol doesn't matter, or that the original diet-heart hypothesis has been debunked. These claims have become especially popular in online wellness spaces and certain dietary communities, often wrapped in compelling but misleading rhetoric. So what does the best available evidence actually say? And how should we think about saturated fat, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk in the current day? In this wide-ranging interview, originally recorded for the Chasing Clarity podcast, Alan and Danny explore the scientific consensus around saturated fat's impact on blood lipids, why LDL and apoB are central to atherosclerotic disease, and how dietary patterns can meaningfully reduce risk. Importantly, they also address some of the most persistent myths and half-truths that fuel confusion, from flawed interpretations of the Seven Countries Study to misrepresentations of newer meta-analyses.

To what extent can maternal nutrition during pregnancy influence a child's later cognitive or behavioural development? While genetic and environmental factors are known to contribute to neurodevelopmental outcomes such as ADHD and autism, growing attention is being paid to the potential role of prenatal exposures, including dietary patterns. Yet, evidence in this area remains limited, and causality is difficult to establish. One recent study aimed to explore this question by analysing how maternal diet quality during pregnancy (specifically, adherence to a Western-style dietary pattern) related to neurodevelopmental outcomes in children assessed clinically at age 10. In this episode, Dr. David Horner discusses the findings from this prospective cohort study, the use of metabolic markers to complement dietary data, and the implications for future research into modifiable prenatal risk factors. About The Guest Dr. David Horner is a researcher in maternal nutrition and cardiometabolic health, based at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is also a qualified medical doctor from Queen's University of Belfast. His research is driven by a keen interest in modifiable determinants of health, aiming to better understand and improve health outcomes. Having worked as a medical doctor for 2 years in the UK, in 2017 Dr. Horner then moved to Copenhagen, where he completed a Master's in Global Health and a PhD examining the impact of maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy on child health.

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

Sharon Goepferich from Cool Air Products joins the podcast to discuss cutting-edge capacitor technology and innovative HVAC solutions in an introduction to the Sigma capacitor. Sharon brings a decade of industry experience, having worked extensively with capacitors and HVAC components while traveling across the country to educate technicians and contractors. The conversation begins with a comprehensive breakdown of capacitor failures, addressing common misconceptions in the field. While manufacturing quality certainly plays a role in capacitor longevity, environmental factors like high temperatures and voltage disruptions—particularly common in markets like Florida with frequent lightning strikes—are primary contributors to failure. A crucial point emphasized is that failing capacitors typically cause compressor and motor failures, not the other way around. Many technicians incorrectly assume that a capacitor reading within tolerance is acceptable, but Bryan and Sharon clarify that even a degraded capacitor operating at reduced capacity can cause motors to run hotter and fail prematurely. This highlights the importance of proactive capacitor maintenance and replacement before complete failure occurs. The episode's centerpiece is the discussion of the innovative Sigma capacitor system, which Sharon describes as being "designed on an airplane over whiskey." This modular pod system addresses a longstanding challenge for HVAC technicians: the impossibility of stocking every capacitor size on their trucks. The Sigma capacitor uses a stackable approach where technicians build the exact capacitance they need in the field using standardized components. The system operates on a simple rule: build the higher values first (typically compressor capacitance on top), then stack the lower values (fan capacitance) underneath. This approach maximizes truck inventory efficiency while minimizing the number of SKUs contractors need to manage, representing a middle ground between carrying extensive individual capacitor inventory and using traditional universal capacitors. Cool Air Products extends beyond capacitors with their Combat P Trap system, an all-in-one condensate drain management solution that combines a shutoff valve, cleaning tab reservoir, and P-trap in a single unit. This product reflects the company's mission to solve everyday contractor problems in cost-effective ways. What makes Cool Air Products unique is their business model of helping industry insiders bring innovative ideas to market, providing support for patent processes, manufacturing connections, and funding. The Combat P Trap also demonstrates the company's commitment to giving back, as a portion of proceeds supports veterans—fitting since the product was designed by a veteran and serves an industry with significant veteran participation.

The Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) has attained celebrity status in recent times, but that hasn't always been the case. For over a century, the Joshua tree was viewed as a useless and repulsive plant that bucked all attempts to tame it. How our relationship with Yucca brevifolia went from hatred to worship is the topic of "Yuck", in which author Barret Baumgart dives into the history of this species, how it has changed over the years and how climate change and rampant tourism may spell disaster for Yucca brevifolia in the future. Join us for a philosophical dive into what the Joshua tree can teach us about our relationship with nature.

Whether you realize it or not, our lives depend on the native plant communities that comprise and support regional biodiversity. As we lose habitat, we lose species, and we lose the checks and balances that keep the living world functional. Scientists are increasingly uncovering the links between human health issues like infectious diseases and biodiversity loss and that is exactly what Dr. James Shepherd and I discuss in this episode. Join us as we explore the links between habitat loss, native plant communities, and infectious diseases like Lyme disease.
