I almost didn't record this week. Told myself it was fine to skip, that everyone needs a little vacation. Then I read two stories in one morning that changed my mind.A saliva test for endometriosis is finally in development — now that scientists know men can get it too. Same morning, a retired guy turned “cleaning up the highway” into a personal discovery project, unaware of how the state's existing program has been running this the whole time, I guess.Different headlines. Same mechanism. Legitimacy doesn't show up with the problem — it shows up with whoever walks into the room last and gets noticed first.This week I'm mad, I'm bitter about healthcare I didn't get, and I'm not smoothing any of it out for you. Come sit in it with me. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.radiantbadass.com

As the United States marks its 250th birthday, the celebration has split into two: America250, the bipartisan effort Congress created in 2016, and Freedom 250, established by executive order from President Trump. The overlap has caused confusion — and some musicians backed out of the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., saying they weren't told about its ties to the Trump administration. Several states, including Illinois, declined to participate. But the 21st state will be represented after all — by the Peoria Riverfront Museum. Brian Mackey talks with museum president and CEO John Morris about how a downstate institution ended up filling in for Illinois, what visitors to its exhibit will see, and what it's like navigating a politically charged event. The Illinois exhibit is open through July 10 in Washington, D.C.
Relationships in this life often feel transactional. We bring something to the table, prove our worth, and earn our place.But Jesus paints a very different picture. One that isn't built on what you can do for Him, what you've accomplished, or what you have to offer. The invitation of Jesus is surprisingly simple: come as you are. Not with a perfect track record or an impressive résumé, but with your whole self. Because what He wants most isn't what you bring—it's you.
You were told to try again. Maybe you were told it was bad luck, or to wait until it happened a third time before anyone would look. Here is what changed this year. In 2026, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine updated its definition of recurrent pregnancy loss for the first time since 2012. Two losses now meet the definition, not three, and a positive test that ended early counts. The old number kept women waiting for a third loss before the investigation even started. Here is the part no one tells you. Meeting the definition gets you a workup. It does not guarantee the workup is complete. After two or more losses, up to half of couples are told the same word. Unexplained. The losses are real. What gets called a complete workup is the question. This episode is the 9 specific things we most often find that are rarely checked before a woman is told her losses were unexplained or simply bad luck. Pull it up. Take notes. Bring it to your next appointment. The 9 patterns: Thyroid, the full panel and antibodies, not just TSH Antiphospholipid antibodies, tested correctly Chronic endometritis The reproductive microbiome, vaginal and seminal The gut, hidden gluten, and inflammation Sperm DNA fragmentation The male partner's full bloodwork Blood sugar and metabolic patterns The nervous system and progesterone These are the areas that sit outside a standard miscarriage workup. A 2012 meta-analysis in Human Reproduction, pooling sixteen studies and nearly three thousand couples, found miscarriage rates rose with sperm DNA damage, with about twice the relative risk. Unexplained rarely means there is nothing to find. It usually means the search stopped at the karyotype, one antiphospholipid test, the anatomy, and a TSH.

Some passages make us pause. They seem confusing, uncomfortable, or hard to reconcile with the God we know. Sometimes what first appears harsh or confusing reveals something deeper when we stay with it long enough. And maybe that's true of some seasons in life, too.Maybe you're waiting for an answer, a breakthrough, or a prayer that feels unanswered. While things don't always unfold the way we hope, we're reminded that God is still good, we can trust Him, and one day all things will be made right.Until then, there can be purpose in the waiting.
During Hour 2, Segment 2 of The Tara Show, the host breaks down the details of the highly debated British mandates:The Under-16 Blanket Social Media Ban: The headline measure bars children under the age of 16 from using primary social media platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, and X. Keir Starmer framed this choice as a necessary step to curb excessive screen time and child mental health crises, telling tech giants that the government is ready to fight back if they resist the rollout.Feature Blocks on Gaming and Livestreaming: Going further than simple account bans, the second step institutes strict default blocks on specific interactive app functionalities. These regulations target livestreaming features and in-game communication tools to prevent strangers from contacting minors under 16.Host Commentary & Global ImpactThe segment analyzes how these measures build upon the UK's previous restrictions, such as the school smartphone bans enacted earlier in the year.

The first measure enforces a blanket ban barring minors under 16 from using primary platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X, with Starmer warning tech giants that the government is prepared to fight back against any resistance. The second step institutes strict default blocks on specific interactive app features, explicitly targeting online livestreaming and in-game communication tools to prevent strangers from contacting young users.

Adam Montgomery walked into jury selection for his own murder trial smiling, tongue out. Then he refused to show up for most of the proceedings, choosing to stay in his cell. The jury convicted in under a day. The Supreme Court reversed the conviction. And now the Harmony Montgomery case is headed for a second murder trial where everything about this man's behavior will be on display again.The retrial raises questions the first trial never had to face on its own: whether Kayla Montgomery's uncorroborated testimony can carry a murder conviction, whether the defense theory that Kayla — not Adam — is responsible for Harmony's death will land with a fresh jury, and whether the cover-up evidence can still be used to argue consciousness of guilt when the Supreme Court said it only proves what happened after the killing.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to assess both sides of the retrial. How a defendant's courtroom demeanor registers with jurors. Whether the speed of the first conviction tells us the evidence was strong or the jury was contaminated. And what the prosecution must change to get a verdict that survives appeal.

Faith can feel intimidating when we think it requires certainty, confidence, or having it all figured out.But Jesus points to something much smaller—a mustard seed. A reminder that faith isn't about how much we have, but where we place it.Sometimes we struggle to believe that change is possible, that God can work in our circumstances, or that He can do something meaningful in us. Yet Jesus sees more in us than we often see in ourselves. He specializes in taking small beginnings and doing what seems impossible.Because sometimes all it takes is a mustard seed of faith to trust that God is still at work.

Following Jesus often sounds inspiring—until we come across a teaching that feels costly.If God is truly good, if He is for us, and if He can be trusted, then His invitations aren't leading us away from life—they're leading us into it. Sometimes the hardest teachings of Jesus begin to make more sense when we view them through the lens of God's character rather than our fears.Because trusting God means believing that what He asks of us is ultimately for our good, even when we don't fully understand it.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Bet Yosef (commentary to the Tur by Maran Rav Yosef Karo, author of the Shulhan Aruch) cites Rav Yishak Abuhab (Spain, 1433-1493) as stating that when one recites the list of the eleven spices of Ketoret, he must do so carefully, from a written text, in order to ensure not to mistakenly omit any of the spices. As we say in the section from the Gemara recited in the Ketoret section, "Im Hisar Ahat Mi'kol Samaneha Hayab Mita" – leaving out even one of the eleven ingredients of the Ketoret constitutes a capital offense, punishable by death. Since we read the Ketoret section in lieu of the offering of the Ketoret in the Bet Ha'mikdash, one who mistakenly skips one of the ingredients would be in violation of this capital offense. The Bet Yosef speculates that this might be the reason why Ashkenazic communities do not recite the Ketoret section on weekday mornings – due to the concern that one might recite this section quickly, given the pressures of the workweek, and mistakenly omit one of the spices. Indeed, the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles, Poland, 1530-1572) explains on this basis the Ashkenazic custom not to recite the Ketoret on weekdays. The Bet Yosef comments that if the Ashkenazim received a tradition to omit the Ketoret on weekdays, then he certainly will not argue with their tradition, but if this is done only due to the fear of skipping one of the spices, then this practice is not acceptable. He explains that when the Gemara speaks of the death penalty as the punishment for leaving out one of the spices of the Ketoret, this refers to the Kohen Gadol offering a deficient incense on Yom Kippur. The only time it was ever permissible to enter the Kodesh Ha'kodashim – the inner sanctum of the Bet Ha'mikdash – was when the Kohen Gadol went there to perform the special Yom Kippur service, and this required the offering of Ketoret. If the Ketoret was deficient and thus invalid, then the Kohen Gadol would be in violation of a capital offense when he entered the Kodesh Ha'kodashim on Yom Kippur. It goes without saying that this has no relevance at all to somebody who mistakenly omits one of the spices when reciting the section of the Ketoret and listing its ingredients. A different view is held by the Rambam, who maintained that a Kohen incurs the death penalty for offering a deficient Ketoret even on ordinary weekdays, and not only on Yom Kippur. However, even according to the Rambam, the punishment is incurred not for bringing a deficient Ketoret, but rather for entering the Bet Ha'mikdash for naught, since the offering brought was not valid. Clearly, this does not apply to one who mistakenly skips one of the spices while reciting the Ketoret. Moreover, even if one insists that offering a deficient Ketoret itself constitutes a capital offense, there is no basis for extending this to a person who omits one of the spices during the recitation of this section. Therefore, while of course one should always try to ensure to recite all the words of the entire prayer service properly, there is no reason to be especially "scared" when listing the ingredients of the Ketoret.
Mamdani skipped the Israeli Day Parade and Ami is relieved. He breaks down the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, calls out Megan Kelly, and welcomes Judge Roy Altman.Mamdani became the first NYC mayor in history to skip the Israeli Day Parade. Ami's take is the opposite of what you'd expect: he's glad. He decodes Mamdani's calculated anti-Zionist language, walks through the thought experiment that ends every Israel debate, and fires at Megan Kelly for comparing her Israel shift to discovering she had cancer while calling out Candace Owens' Russia trip for what it really was.Then federal Judge Roy K. Altman joins the show. He's the author of the New York Times bestseller Israel on Trial and a former sexual violence prosecutor. Using his three-bucket courtroom evidence framework, he exposes the Nicholas Kristoff NYT hit piece on Israeli prison abuse — and explains why the NYT killed a Hamas rape report the day before it ran that piece. Israel scores three. The New York Times scores zero.Support the show: patreon.com/AmisHouse
You know those passages we highlight, memorize, and come back to again and again. And then there are the ones we skip. The verses that confuse us, make us uncomfortable, or seem impossible to reconcile with the God we know.When we come across a verse that doesn't seem to fit, it's important to remember what we already know to be true about God: He is good. Sometimes understanding a difficult passage begins not with having all the answers, but with holding firmly to that truth as we continue asking questions and seeking understanding.

It's all tied into the All-NBA results. The Pistons cannot win if they do it. (29:10) Abner Uribe hit the triple pumps at the Cardinals dugout. Manager Pat Murphy was furious.

If your HRT is not working the way you expected, it does not always mean the hormones are the problem. Often, the real issue is that your body is missing key foundations needed to process and respond to those hormones effectively. In this episode, I break down the three biggest areas I look at first: your liver detox pathways, your gut and estrobolome health, and your blood sugar and cortisol regulation. I explain why some women start HRT and feel worse, with symptoms like increased hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, mood swings, and breast tenderness. In many cases, this happens because the body is not clearing estrogen properly, causing it to recirculate instead of leaving the system. I also walk through the three Ps of hormones which are production, processing, and pathways. If even one of these is off, your results can suffer no matter what protocol or supplement you are using. We also talk about how gut inflammation, histamine responses, and insulin resistance can block your body's ability to respond to hormones at the cellular level.

EPCOT's Canada Pavilion often feels like a space guests walk through rather than stay in. This week, Stephen reimagines it as a living cultural district inspired by Toronto's Kensington Market, where layered storytelling, music, and guest interaction turn the upper level of the pavilion into a constantly evolving environment.At the center of it all is a touring 4★Town concert experience that weaves through the pavilion and encourages exploration, culminating in a reworked theater and character moment that feels like part of the world rather than a separate show. The goal is simple: make Canada feel alive, repeatable, and worth returning to throughout the day.Plus, for the first time ever, we're featuring a listener-submitted Imagineering pitch from our new friend Cam Sullivan as he shares his concept for a new Mandalorian addition to Galaxy's Edge.

If you have ADHD and struggle with bulimia or binge eating, it may not be about willpower at all. It may be about dopamine, impulsivity, and a nervous system that has been trying to regulate itself the only way it knows how. In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with psychiatric nurse practitioner Kirsten Book to unpack the often-missed connection between ADHD and eating disorders. We move beyond surface-level explanations and into what is actually happening in the brain, including how dopamine dysregulation, executive functioning challenges, and emotional intensity can drive patterns of bingeing, restricting, and purging. ADHD and Bulimia: The Dopamine Connection Kirsten shares her lived experience of recovering from bulimia and being diagnosed with ADHD later in life. She describes how starting ADHD treatment shifted everything. Instead of feeling constantly out of control, she experienced something many people with ADHD and eating disorders rarely feel, which is a pause. A moment to decide what to do next. That shift in impulsivity and regulation can be a turning point in recovery. We break down how ADHD affects dopamine regulation and why the brain begins to seek out stimulation through food. Binge eating, restriction, and purging can all increase dopamine in the short term, which reinforces these patterns even when they create long-term distress. Why ADHD Gets Missed in Eating Disorders Many people, especially girls and women, are never screened for ADHD. Instead, they are diagnosed with anxiety or depression. This episode explores how untreated ADHD can show up as emotional dysregulation, difficulty focusing, chaotic eating patterns, and a constant sense of being overwhelmed. Kirsten explains why comprehensive screening matters and how identifying ADHD can completely change the direction of treatment. When ADHD is addressed directly, many people experience a reduction in binge eating urges and a greater sense of stability with food. Executive Function, Impulsivity, and Eating Patterns ADHD affects the brain's executive functioning, including planning, organization, and follow-through. This makes consistent eating much harder than it looks from the outside. Skipped meals, irregular eating, and impulsive food choices are not random. They are connected to how the brain manages energy, attention, and motivation. We also talk about interoception and why people with ADHD may feel disconnected from hunger and fullness cues. This disconnection can lead to both undereating and overeating, creating cycles that feel confusing and hard to interrupt. The Role of Dopamine in Binge Eating and Restriction This episode offers a clear explanation of how different eating disorder behaviors interact with dopamine. Binge eating and highly palatable foods can create a surge in dopamine, reinforcing cravings and compulsive eating. Restriction can also increase dopamine in a different way, which helps explain why it can feel rewarding even when it is harmful. Over time, these patterns can change how the brain responds to reward, making it harder to feel regulated without them. Understanding this helps reduce shame and opens the door to more effective, targeted support. ADHD Treatment and Eating Disorder Recovery We talk through how psychiatric medications can support both ADHD and eating disorder recovery. This includes the role of stimulants, SSRIs, and other medications in improving impulse control, emotional regulation, and the ability to follow through with consistent eating. Kirsten also addresses common concerns about medication, especially for parents. She emphasizes the importance of asking questions, understanding risks and benefits, and approaching treatment with openness rather than fear. Medication is not the only tool, but for many people, it creates the stability needed to fully engage in recovery. This Is Not About Willpower If your eating feels chaotic, impulsive, or out of control, there may be more going on beneath the surface. ADHD changes how the brain processes reward, attention, and regulation. When that is not understood, eating disorder behaviors can become a way to cope. You deserve support that looks at the full picture, including your brain, your nervous system, and the ways you have learned to get through the day.

In this gripping episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe tackles a question that has troubled him for years: Why did Esther invite Haman (and Ahasuerus) to a banquet instead of immediately exposing his plot to annihilate the Jews? And why delay with a second banquet the next day rather than demand Haman's execution on the spot? The Talmud (Megillah 15b) asks the exact same question and provides ten (or more) reasons from various Tannaim and Amoraim, which Rabbi Wolbe learns through in detail.Key reasons include: setting a trap for Haman's downfall when comfortable (R. Elazar – "their table become a snare"); making the king jealous or suspicious (various views); preventing Haman from learning she is Jewish or plotting further; ensuring immediate execution before the fickle king changes his mind; arousing divine jealousy/mercy; making nobles jealous to conspire against Haman; and more. Elijah the Prophet confirms all reasons were in her mind—she layered multiple strategies in one move.Rabbi Wolbe reveals his personal "11th reason" that blew his mind: The first banquet fell on the first night of Pesach. Esther deliberately caused the Jews to miss their Seder (through fasting) to "test" Hashem's love for their service—showing how painful it is for Him when His children miss mitzvot (like the Seder). Hashem "couldn't handle it," tossing and turning (the king's sleeplessness = divine discomfort), triggering immediate salvation: Haman's blunders, execution, and reversal of the decree. This proves Hashem's immense love for our avodah—He values our Seder, Shabbat, tefillin, and mitzvot so deeply that He'd upend empires to restore them. Esther's delay was strategic: prioritize Hashem's desire for Jewish service over instant rescue.The episode closes with chizuk: Esther acted as part of klal Yisrael (not individually), declaring "me and my people." We must stay united, proud, and intentional in mitzvot—Hashem loves our closeness to Him more than we can fathom._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

Send us Fan MailYou can be crushing your goals and still feel like you're running on empty. We're talking about that specific kind of exhaustion where you wake up tired, lean on caffeine just to start, and wonder why your energy never fully bounces back. I'm Daniela Campos, registered dietitian, and I'm pulling apart a common blind spot for driven people: what looks like “stress” is often metabolic depletion from underfueling, underrecovering, and pushing at athlete-level intensity without athlete-level support.We dig into the metabolic health basics that actually create sustainable energy, starting with blood sugar stability. Skipped meals and carb-heavy plates without enough protein can set off the spike-and-crash cycle that shows up as mid-afternoon slumps, brain fog during important decisions, irritability, and late-night cravings. You'll hear simple, realistic ways to fuel consistently with balanced meals built around protein, fiber from vegetables, and the right amount of starch so your focus and performance stay steady.We also cover why muscle is a metabolic engine, not just a “fitness” topic. Strength training and adequate protein intake help preserve muscle, support insulin sensitivity, and protect long-term energy resilience, especially as we age. Then we get honest about recovery: sleep, nervous system downshifts, and easing off the pressure to do everything at maximum intensity. If perimenopause or menopause is affecting sleep, we talk about getting the right medical support so you're not stuck guessing.If you know a high achiever who's quietly struggling, share this, subscribe to Simple Nutrition Insights, and leave a review so more people can find practical nutrition and recovery strategies that work.

This is Fast Friday—a simple ritual that's become one of the most powerful tools in my life.
In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri shares how receiving five perfectly fitting gowns from Sydney's Closet sparked a corrective experience that contrasted with her 2007 prom season, when a dream dress wouldn't zip and intensified shame, restriction, and a fixation on weight loss that later contributed to pursuing bariatric surgery. She reflects on being pre-diabetic at 16, the discouragement of dieting and being blamed for "not doing it right," and how clothes not fitting became a lasting scar tied to dating, food anxiety, and self-worth. As an eating-disorder-trained clinician with lived experience, Bri names anti-fat bias as stronger than capitalism, grieves exclusion and lack of choice in fashion, critiques the weight-loss-as-health narrative, and describes her current life at 35 as fat, healthier, and free from food obsession, while still navigating structural inaccessibility. 01:58 Flashback to 2007 02:53 Diet Plan and Pressure 05:16 The Prom Dress Dream 06:57 Prom Night Breakdown 09:37 Aftermath and Lasting Scar 11:09 Privilege of Choice 12:22 Sad Truths About Fashion 15:06 When Weight Loss Fails 17:09 Bigger Than Clothes 21:18 Healing Beyond the Scale 23:08 Letter to My 16 Year Old Self 26:11 You Are Worthy EPISODE RESOURCES: Stunning gowns designed exclusively for plus sizes at https://sydneyscloset.com/ WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri *Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ *Bri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com/seven-steps
