In 2014, one of our Weird Book operatives conducted a study on Mergotz and stumbled upon a tape recorder hidden beneath a floorboard in an abandoned house in a nearby town. To our surprise, the recording contained the last testament of Dr. Chloe Mullins, a cultural anthropologist. It appears she was researching a phenomenon known as the "Last Fire" and became entangled with some questionable individuals. The tape was subsequently handed over to the FBI, but as of now, there has been no trace of Dr. Mullins.Join us on Discord!Follow us on Twitter at @maeltopiaWant to learn more about the world of Maeltopia?

Are you waking up feeling exhausted—even after a full night's sleep?  It's one of the top complaints I hear from women and something I've personally struggled with, too. Which can be especially frustrating when you know you're doing everything else right. You're eating clean. Walking after meals. Taking supplements…  So, what else could be causing it? Meet your circadian rhythm (aka your biological clock).  In this episode, I sat down with award-winning science journalist and circadian rhythm expert, Lynne Peeples—to help you get to the bottom of your morning sluggishness and start waking up energized. Lynne shared powerful tips from her new book (The Inner Clock) about how simple daily habits—like getting morning light and avoiding late meals—can reset your internal clock, balance hormones, and give you all-day energy.  We also discussed the importance of wearables—with specific recommendations for optimizing your body's natural rhythms.  Tune in for the crucial steps you NEED to take to reset your circadian rhythm and feel better today!  IN THIS EPISODE Why circadian rhythm matters for women's health, especially during perimenopause How morning light exposure sets your biological clock for the day The role of consistency in sleep, eating times, and daily routines for optimal health Why time-restricted eating and meal timing matter for your metabolism Practical ways to dim lights, avoid screens, and create an evening routine that supports sleep The impact of alcohol on your circadian rhythm and sleep quality Lynne's personal experiences and what she learned from tracking her internal clock Visit podcast episode here: https://drmariza.com/episode599 QUOTES “Circadian rhythms affect so much more than just sleep. They're tied to our hormones, metabolism, mood, and even our gut health. Keeping these rhythms in sync can make a world of difference for your overall well-being.” "Getting outside within the first couple hours of waking up is key. Just 10 to 15 minutes of natural light—even on a cloudy day—helps set your circadian rhythm and sets you up for better sleep that night."  "Our digestive system is tied to our biological clock. Eating late at night spikes your blood sugar more, raises your core temperature, and disrupts sleep. Keeping meals within a 10-hour window—earlier in the day—helps support metabolism and balance."  “Morning light is critical for setting your internal clock. Even on cloudy days, get outside—natural light is still much stronger than indoor light and it helps you stay in sync with your body's natural rhythm.” "The consistency piece is huge—eating, sleeping, and exercising at the same time every day. That keeps your body's clocks in sync and makes it easier to fall asleep, wake up refreshed, and maintain your energy throughout the day."  RESOURCES MENTIONED Lynne's book: The Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms Lynne's Website  Register for FREE in my upcoming Thriving in Perimenopause & Menopause Summit.

This month we are featuring a feed drop of an amazing new podcast that has just launched on the RQ Network The Gentleman From Hell. The Gentleman From Hell is a brand new, chilling, horror audio drama. From the brilliant creators behind Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle. In The Gentleman from Hell an entire town is gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow. Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent. For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they're determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow. Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumors swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something... infernal? Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched. Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared… but something still lingers in the shadows. The investigation begins… now." Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby.
