Welcome to the first episode in a five-part series on self-silencing and its profound effect on women's health. I'm Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center, and in this episode, I break down how self-silencing — the learned suppression of one's needs, emotions, and voice — directly influences weight gain, hormone disruption, autoimmunity, cardiovascular risk, and more. This is a deeply personal and evidence-backed conversation rooted in decades of clinical experience and medical research. I discuss real patient patterns, the emotional layers behind common health complaints, and why this silent epidemic deserves more space in medicine. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with feeling unheard, unseen, or overwhelmed by caretaking roles, this is for you. Citations: 13] Jakubowski, K.

Memory, manipulation, and moon landings collide in one of the most audacious season openers in Doctor Who history. In The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, Steven Moffat unleashes the Silence — a monster so terrifying, you forget them the moment you look away — and dares viewers to keep up with a non-linear plot packed with space-suited children, timey-wimey double Doctors, and a shockingly competent Nixon. But does all the complexity serve the story, or is it storytelling gymnastics for its own sake? The team digs into Moffat's high-wire act of serialization, the emotional weight behind Amy's and River's connections with the Doctor, and how forgetting may be the most frightening concept of all.Give your own rating for The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:01:52Whomoji Challente 00:08:00Poll to Open 00:13:51TL;DW 00:21:14Commentary: The Impossible Astronaut | Day of the Moon 00:24:07History Corner 00:43:04Four Questions to Doomsday 01:06:16What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:11:05Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:16:23Final Judgment 01:19:37Randomizer! 01:26:16Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 6, Episodes 1 & 2Story number: 217, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriters: Steven MoffatDirector: Toby HaynesShowrunner: Steven MoffatAired 23–30 April 2011Pull To Open: The Impossible Astronaut | Day of the MoonSeason 6Episode 22Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963

Protestors at the Stand up for Science march in Washington DC, in March 2025. Photo by Geoff Livingston. Researchers at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) recently released a report documenting more than 400 attacks on science by the Trump administration in the first six months since his inauguration. Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with two of the four coauthors of the report — Darya Minovi and Kristie Ellickson of UCS' Center for Science and Democracy — about the insidious ways in which this administration is silencing the work and voices of scientists, and the implication of these attacks on the environment, public health, and our democracy. The post Silencing Science appeared first on KPFA.

Send us a textHow brain synapses work and fuel themselves with fat.Episode Summary: Dr. Timothy Ryan talks about the high energy costs of synapses, the role of mitochondria and glycolysis, and challenge the long-held view that the brain relies solely on glucose by discussing new evidence that neurons burn fats from lipid droplets for fuel, especially during activity. The talk touches on metabolic flexibility, links to epilepsy treatments like ketogenic diets, neurodegenerative diseases, and future research on brain energy sources.About the guest: Timothy Ryan, PhD is a professor of biochemistry at Cornell University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, particularly vesicle recycling and the bioenergetics that power neural communication. Discussion Points:Synapses are tiny structures with ~100 vesicles per site (on average), converting electrical signals to chemical ones.Brain tissue is energy-hungry due to trillions of synapses (in humans), relying on local mitochondria (present in only ~half of synapses) and glycolysis.Vesicles use proton pumps and transporters to concentrate neurotransmitters, requiring ATP to maintain gradients.Neurons are metabolically fragile; cutting fuel supply quickly impairs synapses.Dogma held brains don't burn fats, but new work shows neurons form lipid droplets (fat stores) that are invisible because constantly used for energy via beta-oxidation.Silencing neurons builds lipid droplets like resting muscle; activity speeds their breakdown, indicating demand-driven fat use.Inhibiting neuron-specific fat-processing enzymes accumulates droplets and induces torpor (hibernation-like state) in animals, signaling metabolic stress.Ketogenic diets aid epilepsy by shifting to ketones; fats may explain this, with potential ties to aging and neurodegeneration like Alzheimer's.Brain may be a "hybrid" fuel user (glucose + fats), with open questions on fat sources and roles in cognition or disease protection.Related episode:M&M 158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'Agostino*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

"The hardship and everything I went through created the fire inside, people don't understand the woman I am." Claressa Shields Heavyweight Undisputed Champion In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode of The Pivot Podcast, the GWOAT herself—Claressa Shields—joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for one of her most personal interviews to date. From surviving a tough upbringing in Flint, Michigan to becoming the only boxer—male or female—to be undisputed in two weight classes simultaneously, Claressa shares the raw truth behind her journey. She opens up about the pain that made her, the critics that tried to break her, and the constant pressure of being a Black woman at the top of one of the most male-dominated sports in the world. But it's not all about the ring. In a deeply personal moment, Claressa reveals the reason behind two of her early dreams: Becoming an Olympic medalist and buying a bed. Sleeping on the floor most of her childhood and always having to fight for acceptance led her to fight for what she wanted. Claressa also lets us in on her private life—specifically her relationship with rapper and hip-hop legend Papoose. She talks about the bond they've built, what his steady support means to her, and how love and loyalty outside the ring fuel her fight inside of it, even opening up on motherhood in the near future. It's a side of Claressa the public rarely sees—vulnerable, grounded, and deeply human. With her next undisputed title defense set for July 26 in Detroit, Claressa shares what's driving her into this fight, why it feels more personal than ever, and how she's staying focused amid everything—from family to fame to legacy. She addresses the critics who've downplayed her success, and the media that still tries to put limits on her greatness while acknowledging that her journey is a lot like her male counterpart, Terrance Bud Crawford, who she calls he twin, not just in the fight game but in life too. This isn't just another sports interview. It's a real conversation with one of the most dominant and dynamic athletes of our time—who's still fighting for her respect, her people, and her place in history. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, sudden news of the firing of former AARO Deputy Director Tim Phillips has sparked controversy following a series of interviews in which he discussed UAPs—particularly black triangle craft exhibiting silent flight, low heat signatures, and advanced maneuverability. Though Phillips emphasized these objects are likely terrestrial in origin, possibly foreign adversary technology, although his sudden departure now raises questions about whether his removal was tied to the substance of his comments—or the fact that he spoke at all. Following our analysis of the latest departure from the DoD's AARO, this week on The Micah Hanks Program we then shift our attention over to the latest findings from the UAP Sightings Reporting System (UAPSRS), where black triangles also emerge as a dominant pattern: dark, silent, slow-moving craft often seen near military airspace. Meanwhile, recent case studies further deepen the mystery; what does recent witness data suggest about the ongoing UAP discussion? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

INTRO:Hey CEO- It's time for a wake-up call as midlife women- Your ‘NOT ENOUGH TIME' thoughts are costing more than you realize, especially when it comes to your wellness. Sure, we all experience substantial changes in our bodies as we head into our 40s and 50s, but the choices you make (or fail to make) around your health now are what set the stage for later. You can choose to be a passive health reactor and just accept how you feel as your new normal, or you can be an empowered leader who doesn't tolerate unwanted symptoms. But when it feels like there's not enough time to figure it out and you're not sure what to do even after consulting Dr. Google, that's when you need someone to help you get a system in place.

SILENCING HABITS THAT SEPARATE US FROM GOD. We know that "God speaks in silence," so there is a need for us to quiet those internal disturbances within us that prevent intimacy with God. The scholars and saints tell us we must cultivate a "holy silence" that penetrates all the faculties of our bodies and souls, and thus hasten our return to God.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last few days have been a collision of personal revelations, public speculation, and a determined effort to shape his own narrative. Amid swirling divorce rumors, the pop superstar and his wife Hailey put on a united front, jetting off to Mallorca for a private getaway in one of the island's most exclusive villas. Spanish outlet El Diario de Mallorca details their stay at a $30000-a-week mansion in Port d'Andratx, complete with panoramic sea views, an infinity pool, and enough amenities to make reality melt away. Justin marked the escape with an Instagram post hailing Hailey as “my forever and n always,” silencing the rumor mill, at least for now, despite acute fan scrutiny over whether it is actually Hailey in the recent photos or just another case of the couple outfoxing their critics, as Marca quickly picked up on. Theories aside, Hailey's recent ringless public outings fueled further claims of trouble, even as she reassured Vogue her marriage is strong.These public gestures come on the heels of Bieber's candid Instagram confession last month, where he admitted to battling “anger issues” and feeling “broken,” candidly asking, “Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?” RadarOnline and Reality Tea report that sources close to him describe a man in “panic mode,” fearing his struggles may be pushing Hailey away. His social media activity is nothing short of frenetic—multiple posts a day, including a batch of “detox” selfies this week that sparked concern among fans, with responses ranging from support to outright worry about his well-being.Despite the chaos, moments of calm peek through. People magazine shared a heartwarming video of Bieber playing outside with his ten-month-old son, Jack Blues, capturing glimpses of a devoted dad enjoying rare normalcy. Both Justin and Hailey have been chronicling family moments online, from poolside playtime to matching lunches with baby Jack, presenting a counter-narrative to all the tabloid noise.On the business front, Bieber's performance machine grinds on. He dropped a major announcement on Instagram about an upcoming show in Brazil, stoking excitement among fans globally. Meanwhile, his massive $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis Song Management continues to reverberate in the industry, marking one of the biggest deals for an artist of his generation. And through it all, the world watches as Bieber's every post, outing, and update becomes instant headline fodder, reminding everyone that in the age of social media, the line between reality and speculation is blurrier than ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In this compelling episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with life coach and creator of The Unstoppable Man's Playbook, John Mylant, to discuss the silent struggle many men over 40 face: the inner critic. John shares how high-performing, self-employed men often deal with hidden self-doubt and fear—even when everything looks “successful” on the outside. He explains how fear subtly sabotages momentum and offers a simple but powerful mindset shift to silence that voice and let love, confidence, and decisiveness take the lead. Whether you're stuck in hesitation or seeking more purpose, this conversation helps men understand their inner barriers and choose transformation. About the Guest:John Mylant is a transformational life coach, speaker, and the founder of Own the Zone: 21-Day Challenge. With decades of life experience and self-discovery, John now dedicates his work to helping men break free from subconscious fear and reclaim their power. His bold yet grounded approach supports men in creating a life led by confidence and love, not survival mode. Key Takeaways: The inner critic is rooted in fear—it's designed to keep you safe, not successful. Most men operate from subconscious fear without even realizing it. Confidence is a conscious choice and begins with action, not perfection. Silence the inner critic by practicing awareness, logic, and mindful decision-making. Reclaiming confidence after 40 requires consistency and decisiveness, built on love, not fear.

Two Strategic Traps, Two Silencing Answers
The journey from NFL superstar to Hollywood actor isn't one many can successfully navigate, but Vernon Davis makes it look effortless. This raw conversation with the Super Bowl champion reveals the mindset that's enabled him to excel across multiple fields. "When I understood how important it was to be selfless and do things for the sake of the team, then I became a better not just a better player, but a better person overall because that shifted over to life," Vernon shares early in our discussion. This philosophy has guided his remarkable transformation from elite tight end to accomplished actor with over 30 credits to his name. What separates Vernon from others attempting similar career pivots is his unwavering commitment to mastery. He describes sneaking away from football practice to attend acting classes at the same theater where Danny Glover trained. Now, five years into working with a dedicated acting coach twice weekly, he's seeing the results of that consistency: "If I'm where I'm at right now, imagine what I'm gonna be at in 10 years." This echoes his football approach, where he was famously the last player off the practice field for 14 straight seasons. Perhaps most valuable is Vernon's wisdom about evaluating opportunities. Rather than focusing on products or concepts, he examines the people involved: "People can make or break you. I don't look at the business or the product—I look at the people who I'm working with." This insight saved him countless headaches, as demonstrated by his grandmother's remarkable ability to spot a dishonest financial advisor who later stole $500,000 from him. Throughout our conversation, Vernon's legacy emerges clearly—a man determined to lead by example in everything he does. Whether catching game-winning touchdowns, starring alongside Morgan Freeman, or building businesses, he approaches each endeavor with the same dedication to excellence.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: The inner critic can be a constant and discouraging presence, stealing our joy and hindering us from walking in the confidence God intends for us. It often disguises itself as self-improvement or humility, but in reality, it holds us back from embracing our identity in Christ. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the sources of this voice, explore how Scripture equips us to combat it, and learn practical, biblically-based strategies to replace self-condemnation with God’s truth. Quotables from the episode: The inner critic is that internal voice that condemns, shames, or reminds us of our shortcomings. It whispers lies like, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,” or “Who do you think you are?” Often, this voice feels louder in moments of vulnerability, failure, or self-doubt. Scripture reminds us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy our confidence and joy (John 10:10). He plants seeds of doubt and discouragement, hoping we’ll lose sight of God’s truth about our identity. The enemy’s accusations often feel like they’re coming from within, making it harder to recognize their origin. Our sinful nature and brokenness often give rise to self-condemnation. Past experiences, such as critical words from others, failures, or unmet expectations, can leave scars that fuel the inner critic. We may strive for perfection, believing the lie that we’re only worthy if we meet certain standards. This striving often leads to exhaustion and deeper feelings of inadequacy. The world bombards us with messages that we must perform, achieve, or conform to be loved or valuable. Social media, advertisements, and cultural expectations paint a picture of perfection that is impossible to attain. When we fall short, the inner critic seizes the opportunity to amplify our insecurities and remind us of our perceived failures. For some, the inner critic’s voice mimics the critical or harsh words spoken by authority figures in their lives, such as parents, teachers, or peers. Over time, these external voices become internalized, shaping how we see ourselves and respond to challenges. Even well-meaning criticism can leave an imprint if it’s not tempered with grace and encouragement. The inner critic is not God’s voice. In fact, His voice always aligns with truth, hope, and encouragement. It’s important to identify and challenge thoughts that contradict God’s truth. Taking every thought captive means actively rejecting lies and replacing them with God’s promises. God’s voice always aligns with His character—He speaks love, encouragement, and restoration. While the inner critic seeks to tear us down, God’s Word builds us up and reminds us of our identity in Christ. By meditating on Scripture, we can discern the difference between the voice of the inner critic and the voice of our loving Father. His truth gives us the strength to silence the lies and walk confidently in His grace. God’s voice brings peace, conviction (not condemnation), and hope. He calls us to see ourselves as He does—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Become aware of when the inner critic is speaking. Pause and ask, “Is this thought true, or is it a lie?” If it doesn’t align with Scripture, it’s not from God. Journaling your thoughts can help you identify patterns of self-criticism and pinpoint recurring lies that need to be addressed. Counter every negative thought with God’s Word. For example, if the thought says, “I’m a failure,” remind yourself of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Create a list of Bible verses that speak to your identity in Christ, and keep them handy for moments of doubt. A grateful heart leaves little room for self-criticism. Start each day by thanking God for His blessings and affirming the ways He’s working in your life. When you focus on God’s goodness, it shifts your perspective and quiets the critical voice. Surround yourself with people who speak life and encouragement. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Healthy, godly relationships provide support, accountability, and reminders of your worth in Christ. Be intentional about building connections with those who uplift you. Ask God to help you distinguish His voice from the lies of the enemy. James 1:5 assures us that He gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Pray for clarity and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and words. Instead of agreeing with the critic, declare the truth of who you are in Christ. Say things like, “I am chosen,” “I am loved,” and “I am forgiven.” Speaking these affirmations aloud helps to reinforce them in your mind and heart. Whether it’s critical people, social media, or unhelpful comparisons, protect your mind by setting healthy boundaries. Consider a social media detox or limiting time spent with individuals who are overly critical or draining. Silencing your inner critic is not a one-time fix; it’s a daily practice of renewing your mind and grounding yourself in God’s truth. Remember, the voice of the inner critic is a liar. God’s voice is the only one that matters, and His voice speaks love, grace, and purpose over you. Scripture References: Romans 8:1, which declares, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” James 3:9-10 “With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness... My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: silencing the lies that the enemy tells us. We often find ourselves battling negative thoughts and accusations that can derail our faith and confidence. I share three powerful questions designed to help dismantle these lies and reclaim our truth. I begin by acknowledging the cruel and sadistic nature of the enemy, who delights in kicking us when we're down. It's important to recognize that while the enemy is relentless, we also have the power to combat these lies. I reflect on my own journey with spiritual warfare, sharing how I initially became obsessed with control and protection, only to realize that true protection comes from trusting God as our Father. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that spiritual warfare is not about control but about understanding our legal authority in Christ. I discuss how God sometimes allows challenges in our lives to teach us resilience and to prepare us for spiritual battles. Drawing from scripture, I highlight Isaiah 54:17, which reassures us that no weapon formed against us will prevail and that we have the power to refute every accusation. Join my newsletter!

John talks about the ongoing breakup of Elon and Don. He also tells the story of Luka Strobel - a transgender man in South Carolina who reported experiencing harassment and being arrested after using a women's restroom at a bar. Despite having permission from the bar to use the women's restroom and having an ID that matched his gender marker, he reported being spied on, called anti-trans slurs, and forcibly removed from the bar. He was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, although he stated he was sober and did not resist the police. Then, he interviews Dr. Anahita Dua and they chat about RFK Jr's demolition of science and health in government programs. And winding it up, John jokes around with comedy panel Frank Conniff, Frank Vignola, and Agunda Okeyo on trending topics, pop culture, and the insanity of the government at large.

We expose media complicity in silencing vaccine-injured Americans, amplifying nurses, parents, veterans, and whistleblowers. This is a reckoning demanding moral courage in medicine's next imminent looming crisis.
