Back to the grind. After another busy weekend, here we are…at work. Again. Not only that, but I must have slept wrong and my shoulder is all out of whack and in a ton of pain. Had a very successful charity golf outing on Friday. Spent Saturday morning doing laundry & mowing the lawn…ran a few errands…went to the Speedway for the Smash-O-Rama. Then we had another parade yesterday with the Oktoberfest Grenadiers. I'm pooped! In the news this morning, a news anchor from Iowa quits live on-air, a new Miss Wisconsin is crowned, an airline passenger bit another person on the plane and was allegedly trying to fight everyone on board, another idiot tourist got too close to a bison at Yellowstone Park, In sports, the Brewers dropped two out of three to the Braves this weekend but managed to get a 9-4 win yesterday, Pat Murphy is getting a couple of procedures in the next few weeks, Team USA beat Australia on Friday & is on to the round of 32 in the World Cup, Corey Heim got his first NASCAR win yesterday at the Naval Base, and Wyndham Clark won his second U.S. Open this weekend after leading the tournament wire to wire. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and Brian started watching a couple of shows on Netflix this weekend, including "Michael Jackson: The Verdict" and "Trust Me: The False Prophet" Are Dogs > Cats? Some new research may show that cats don't relieve stress as well as dogs can. Elsewhere in sports, Brady Tkachuk is headed to Florida to play with his brother, Jonathan Toews retires from hockey, a former U.S. Olympian is arrested after allegedly vandalizing the Reflecting Pool in D.C., and a fan climbs over the fence at a NASCAR race to have a chat with one of the drivers. An injured sea turtle was saved by some vets and is now back in the ocean and doing well…a man in Louisiana heroically saved a family that was in danger of drowning, and a woman who recently got married was walked down the aisle by the man who received her father's heart in an organ donation. We talked about some of our snacking habits, and we discussed the new number to shoot for when you're trying to retire. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about an 85 year-old man who was racing his Nissan while smoking a cigarillo, the Governor of Massachusetts declared haggis "legal", a food delivery robot that got caught in a S.W.A.T. operation, a #FloridaWoman who assaulted a man with her pickleball paddle, and another #FloridaMan tried to steal a med-vac copter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ironing, Soursop, and Summer Camp Fellowship (with David) On Snack Hour with the Divinely Inspired podcast, Paul, Jeremy, Penny, and guest David banter through a summer-themed episode, starting with whether they iron clothes and drifting into jokes about car washes, Taylor Swift/Toy Story hype, and summer plans like boating, deck rebuilding, movies, and sleeping in. They debate old buildings feeling "dirty," the five-second rule, cremation vs burial, odd hats (fedoras, bucket hats, welding caps), and airport hassles. The group taste-tests soursop juice (mostly liked), "Simply Naked" Doritos (praised), and a chili-and-spice chip that some say tastes like throw up, plus fruit-shaped ice creams with an unpleasant shell but better ice cream inside. The conversation turns to youth group experiences and the value of church as a positive environment, leading into details for a Pine Paradise lake retreat featuring worship, speakers, games, and lake activities like tubing, paddleboarding, pickleball, and more. 00:00 Ironing Debate 01:34 Moby Jokes 02:03 Car Wash Talk 02:51 Meet The Crew 04:43 Summer Episode Kickoff 04:55 Toy Story Swift Rumors 07:26 Summer Plans Roundtable 10:01 Summer Movies Preview 12:05 Popcorn Bucket Craze 14:15 Old Buildings And Floors 16:36 Burial Or Cremation 19:04 Fax Machines And WiFi 20:56 Getting Pulled Over 21:33 Rolling Stop Pullover 22:04 Seatbelt Stop Debate 23:09 Motorcycle Crash Facts 25:06 Tickets and Warnings 25:46 Hat Opinions and Pet Peeves 27:10 Snack Haul and Soursop 29:39 Naked Doritos Taste Test 31:26 Mystery Chili Lime Chips 33:13 Weird Cup Ice Creams 35:18 Exotic Foods and Ice Cream Talk 37:37 Favorite Ice Cream Spots 41:03 Fedora Vibes and Travel Dress 42:27 Why Airports Are Miserable 44:15 Fedora Fashion Debate 45:18 Berets And French Jokes 45:59 Hats Beards And Grooming 47:50 Youth Group Backgrounds 53:26 Church Friends And Normalcy 55:29 Why Youth Group Helps 57:33 Atheists Drop Off Kids 01:00:44 Retreat Plans Pine Paradise 01:03:33 Camp Memories And Beach Trips 01:04:47 Awkward Beach Evangelism 01:07:57 Purity Talk Overshare 01:09:20 Camp Rundown And Activities 01:11:14 Safety Stories And Farewell

Cholesterin gilt für viele als Gefahr für Herz und Gefäße. Aber was wäre, wenn genau dieses Cholesterin in Wahrheit lebenswichtig für unseren Körper ist? Ohne Cholesterin könnten unsere Zellen nicht funktionieren, wichtige Hormone nicht gebildet werden und selbst unser Gehirn hätte massive Probleme bei der Signalübertragung. Entscheidend ist also nicht, Cholesterin komplett zu vermeiden, sondern zu verstehen, wann es wirklich problematisch wird. In dieser Folge meines Podcasts DA GEHT NOCH WAS spreche ich darüber, warum Cholesterin viel komplexer ist als sein schlechter Ruf. Wir schauen uns an, welche Unterschiede es zwischen LDL und HDL gibt, weshalb Entzündungen im Körper oft gefährlicher sind als Fett selbst und warum Industriezucker eine deutlich größere Rolle spielt, als viele denken. Denn gerade Zucker, Softdrinks und hochverarbeitete Lebensmittel können den Stoffwechsel aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen, Entzündungen fördern und die Blutfettwerte massiv beeinflussen. Gleichzeitig erkläre ich, warum Cholesterin sogar für unsere Hormonbalance, die Vitamin-D-Bildung und mentale Leistungsfähigkeit unverzichtbar ist. Ich verrate Euch außerdem, welche Lebensmittel Eure Gefäße wirklich unterstützen können: Haferflocken, Leinsamen, Olivenöl, dunkles Blattgemüse, Walnüsse oder Omega-3-Fettsäuren. Warum können Ballaststoffe wie kleine „Staubsauger“ im Körper wirken? Weshalb sind guter Schlaf, Bewegung und weniger Snacking so wichtig für gesunde Cholesterinwerte? Und warum lohnt es sich gerade ab 35, die eigenen Blutwerte regelmäßig überprüfen zu lassen? Ich verrate es Euch. Eure Anastasia

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, our interview is recorded live at SIAL Canada 2026 in Montreal. Michael LeBlanc welcomes one of the most influential executives in global consumer packaged goods: Jessica C. Adelman, Mars Snacking North America. Fresh off Mars' massive $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, Adelman offers a rare inside look at the strategic thinking behind one of the largest CPG transactions in history. She explains how Mars — now a $86+ billion privately held global powerhouse operating across more than 80 countries — is reshaping itself into a modern snacking giant with iconic brands spanning M&M's, Snickers, Skittles, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It, and more. The conversation dives deep into how large food companies are navigating a radically different operating environment shaped by geopolitical volatility, inflation, climate pressures, AI disruption, and changing consumer behaviour. Adelman shares Mars' approach to resilience, reputation management, and long-term strategic planning in an era where business shocks arrive faster and harder than ever before. She also discusses why Mars continues investing heavily in North American manufacturing, including a recent $180 million investment across Ontario facilities. Michael and Jessica explore the transformative impact of AI across food retail and supply chains, from reducing food waste and optimizing logistics to enabling consumer discovery and personalization. They also examine how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing eating habits, portion sizes, and snack consumption patterns — a growing issue every major food manufacturer is now monitoring closely. The interview also touches on sustainability, food system resilience, consumer affordability, and the evolving role of global brands in helping consumers balance value, convenience, nutrition, and enjoyment. Throughout the discussion, Adelman offers a thoughtful perspective on leadership, agility, and why companies must move beyond simply “playing the hits” to remain relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. But first, Michael and Sylvain Charlebois tackle another packed week in food and agriculture news. The hosts debate Ontario's emerging “6% milk” trend, the accelerating adoption of GLP-1 drugs across Canada thanks to the launch of a generic pill format, and renewed calls (along with the history and original objectives) to overhaul Canada's confusing best-before date system to combat food waste and improve affordability. They also discuss food theft and organized crime concerns in grocery retail, mounting pressure on Atlantic Canada's oyster industry, mushroom trade tensions with the United States, the definition of food deserts in urban Canada, and the critical importance of grain infrastructure in Atlantic Canada and a world awash in Bourbon.

Body composition goals, particularly bodyfat loss, are among the most common reasons people seek support from a nutritionist or health and fitness professional. While the principles are well established, the challenge is helping individuals apply them consistently in real-world conditions. Many people struggle due to hunger, unrealistic expectations, emotional eating, inconsistent routines, or overly restrictive dieting approaches. These challenges can make fat loss difficult to sustain, even when someone understands what they "should" be doing. In this episode, Luke Hanna discusses practical strategies for improving body composition, including food diaries, energy-density manipulation, preloads, mindful eating, and realistic goal-setting. The discussion emphasizes identifying individual barriers, collaborating with clients, and building repeatable behaviours that support both fat loss and long-term maintenance. Luke Hanna holds a Master's degree in Obesity and Clinical Nutrition from University College London and a degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Portsmouth. He currently works as a nutrition coach and personal trainer.

Dans cet épisode de "Comment j'ai réussi?", Stéphane Pedrazzi reçoit Alexis Vaillant, le fondateur d'Alterfood, une entreprise agroalimentaire qui s'est donnée pour mission de proposer des alternatives plus saines et responsables dans le domaine du snacking.L'invité explique que le marché du snacking est dominé par des produits peu vertueux sur le plan nutritionnel, souvent riches en sucre, en matières grasses et en additifs. Avec Alterfood, il souhaite changer la donne en proposant des produits plus équilibrés, à base d'ingrédients compréhensibles et naturels, sans édulcorants. L'entrepreneur détaille les différentes gammes de produits développées par Alterfood, comme la marque de sodas Leamo, les snacks Blast Snack à base de noix et d'oléagineux, ou encore la gamme de soupes Marcel Bio. Il souligne que 80% des produits commercialisés par Alterfood sont fabriqués en interne, dans le but de garder le contrôle sur la qualité et la composition.Alexis Vaillant revient également sur les défis liés à la distribution en grande surface, un marché très dominé par les grandes marques. Malgré des négociations âpres sur les prix, il estime que la grande distribution offre une vitrine exceptionnelle pour les produits Alterfood. L'entrepreneur milite pour que les produits des PME aient davantage de place dans les rayons.Il aborde aussi l'impact de la crise ukrainienne sur le secteur agroalimentaire, avec une forte inflation qui a contraint Alterfood à revoir ses gammes pour proposer des produits toujours sains mais plus accessibles financièrement. Alexis Vaillant souligne que manger mieux ne doit pas coûter beaucoup plus cher, et que l'alimentation doit être remise au cœur des préoccupations.Enfin, il brosse le portrait de la clientèle de l'entreprise, plutôt urbaine et soucieuse de son alimentation, notamment grâce à l'essor d'applications comme Yuka qui permettent de mieux s'informer sur la composition des produits. Une clientèle qui coïncide avec l'explosion du marché du sport et d'un intérêt grandissant pour une alimentation plus saine et responsable.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Have you ever finished dinner feeling completely full, telling yourself, “Okay, I'm done for the night”… and then somehow, 30 minutes later, you're back in the kitchen? Maybe it starts small—a handful of this, a bite of that… and before you even realize it, you're snacking just because it's there. And then comes that frustrating thought: “Why do I keep doing this… when I'm not even hungry?” If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to be a game changer for you. Because here's the truth—nighttime snacking isn't about a lack of willpower. It's usually a signal that something earlier in your day or in your routine is a little off. So today, I'm walking you through five simple, realistic ways to stop snacking after dinner—without overhauling your life, without cutting out your favorite foods, and without trying to be “more disciplined.” Because this isn't about restriction… it's about understanding what your body actually needs. If you can relate this episode, I'd love to hear from you. Where are you struggling most right now? You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com and share your story.

Today, the greatest health threats come from within rather than external sources. Dr. Torkil Færø, an emergency physician, believes that most hospital visits result from specific lifestyle choices. He suggests that personal data devices like Garmin or Oura act as essential tools for navigating our well-being. These wearables allow individuals to monitor internal stress levels that our natural senses often miss. The Internal Health Speedometer We are living in a golden age of personal data. Smart gadgets are no longer just for elite athletes. They function as super tools that allow everyone to maneuver their health toward a better future. For example, by monitoring your heart rate throughout the day, you can identify hidden stressors like specific foods or environmental factors. When you can measure these internal changes, you gain the power to manage them effectively. The Power of Variability The most significant metric these devices track is the variation between heartbeats, known as heart rate variability. A high reading indicates that your body is in a restful state and fully prepared for recovery. This daily measurement tells you exactly how much energy you have available Conversely, low variability signals a strained immune system that may struggle to function properly. Tracking this specific measurement daily is closely linked to many dangerous chronic diseases. These devices serve as a physiological speedometer to help you understand the hidden state of your nervous system. If your resting heart rate remains high during the night, look at your behavior.. Identifying Common Physical Stressors Using a wearable often reveals habits we find relaxing are actually physically taxing. Alcohol is identified as the most significant source of stress for the human body. Eating within several hours of bedtime also prevents the heart from reaching a truly restful state during sleep. Snacking on sweets while sitting on a sofa can trigger a high-stress physiological response. The data collected from such activity transforms abstract health advice into concrete personal evidence. Balancing Training and Rest While many use these tools to track exercise, their real value lies in measuring recovery. The goal: health normalization rather than reaching elite athletic performance. Keeping your physical fitness in the top half of the population can drastically reduce your medical risks. You can use your morning data to decide whether to push hard in the gym or take a rest day. Consistent recovery is the true secret to long-term health and vitality. In this podcast, you will discover: How heart rate acts as a truth teller for your internal state. Why heart rate variability is a key indicator for chronic illness. The negative impact of alcohol and late meals on your sleep. How to use morning data to decide your daily activity level. Why the best health strategies like sunlight and fasting are free. How a physician transformed his own life using personal data.

Most people underestimate how tiny, consistent movements—just 30 seconds every hour—can dramatically improve metabolic health. In this episode, Jerred and Dave dissect groundbreaking research from China showing how exercise snacking can reduce blood sugar, insulin resistance, and even reverse prediabetes—in just 12 weeks—without leaving your desk or changing your clothes. The results are staggering: a 20% improvement in insulin resistance and a third of participants returning to normal glycemia from prediabetes. But why isn't everyone doing this? Jerred and Dave explore how simple daily habits like marching in place, desk pushups, or stretching every hour can unlock major health gains, without sacrificing your busy schedule. They break down the science behind frequent movement versus traditional workout routines, revealing how even untrained individuals can see significant benefits, and why active sitting and casual movement are game-changers in today's sedentary culture. You'll discover practical tips to integrate exercise snacks into any day—after meals, during breaks, or as a quick brain refresh—making health achievable no matter how tight your schedule. This episode dives into the "active couch potato" problem, showing how mere minutes of movement throughout the day beats sporadic-hour workouts for long-term metabolic health—especially as you age. Jerred and Dave highlight strategies to make this sustainable over decades, emphasizing that longevity in fitness isn't about intensity, but consistency. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just getting started, you'll learn how small movements build momentum, improve bloodwork, and prevent injuries—plus, how to modify based on injury, age, or a busy life. Perfect for anyone craving practical, science-backed ways to stay active without the gym, this episode proves that small, frequent efforts create big, lasting results. If you're ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and embrace effortless movement into your routine, you're in the right place. Let these simple hacks inspire a lifetime of healthier living—because the truth is, if you don't kill comfort, comfort will kill you.

I used to believe the old dieting advice: you shouldn't eat between meals. But recently I was coaching two different people and suggested they plan in an afternoon snack. For both of them, it made a huge difference to how much they were eating across the whole day — with a knock-on effect on weight. It also reminded me of my own shift from thinking I shouldn't snack, to actually giving myself permission to plan one in. Intentional snacking was a game-changer for stopping my own overeating in the evenings. Want simple more actionable strategies Subscribe to my weekly newsletter Joyful Eating for Midlife Vitality.
Late-night sugar cravings are one of the most common struggles I see with clients. In this episode of Becoming Relentless, I break down the biology behind late-night snacking and explain why your brain suddenly wants sugar at night, even when you felt disciplined all day.Most people assume nighttime eating means they lack willpower. In reality, late-night cravings are often a predictable biological response to how the day unfolded. When you under-eat earlier in the day, make hundreds of decisions at work, or follow a highly restrictive diet, your brain and body start looking for quick energy and dopamine by the evening.In this episode, I explain why many high-performing women unintentionally create this pattern. Skipping meals, replacing food with coffee, eating very light lunches, and pushing through busy schedules can create an energy deficit that your body tries to correct at night. I also talk about decision fatigue, how mental exhaustion influences eating behavior, and why strict dieting can make sugar cravings feel even louder.You'll also learn what actually stabilizes evening eating. I walk through the simple structural changes that tend to reduce late-night cravings: balanced meals earlier in the day, consistent protein intake, strategic carbohydrates, and reducing decision fatigue around food.Late-night snacking doesn't usually mean you lack discipline. Most of the time it means your brain and body are trying to regulate energy and stress after a long day.If you're someone who feels completely in control during the day but struggles with cravings at night, this episode will help you understand what's happening biologically- and how to fix the pattern.Topics covered include late-night snacking, nighttime sugar cravings, weight loss psychology, nutrition timing, decision fatigue and eating behavior, dieting and cravings, and how to stop overeating at night.If you want help building a nutrition and training routine that actually works with your schedule and physiology, you can book a free consultation using the link in the show notes.Apply for coaching: https://form.typeform.com/to/chqUDr9g Book a FREE consult call with me: https://calendly.com/elenoa-mccabe/30minBEcoming Relentless IG: @becomingrelentless_Elenoa McCabe IG: @noamccabe_ifbbproBEcoming Relentless — new episodes weekly.#becomingrelentlessAffiliates: Ryze HRT + Bloodwork "NOA"Purefactor Formulations "NOA10"Free Spirit Outlet "NOA"The Shoe Fairy "ELENOA"#BEcomingRelentless #stayrelentless #ifbbpro #ifbb #becomingrelentless #podcast #contestprep #bodybuilding #BikiniCompetition #BodybuildingPrep #FitnessJourney #bikinibodybuilding #BecomingRelentlessPodcast #FitnessMindset #BodybuildingPodcast #CompetitionPrep #FastingMyths #FoodObsession #PrepMotivation #FitnessQandA #BodybuildingCoach #BikiniPrep #HealthAndFitness #MentalHealthInFitness #DisciplineOverMotivation #ReverseDiet #FitnessJourney #MindsetMatters #AthleteMindset #CoachNoa #RelentlessGrowth

Discover how to elevate your family's nutrition this season with expert insights from Shasity Ireland on The Ash Said It Show. This episode explores the best healthy springtime snacks, high-protein swaps, and artisanal food pairings featuring Southern Recipe Small Batch and Bakehouse Bread Company to help you celebrate National Nutrition Month with flavor and function. Spring is the ultimate season for a pantry refresh, moving away from processed "junk food" toward nutrient-dense, high-protein alternatives that satisfy the whole family. One of the most significant shifts in the snacking world is the gourmet evolution of the pork rind. Brands like Southern Recipe Small Batch are dismantling the traditional snack stigma by offering macro-friendly options in sophisticated flavor profiles such as Pineapple Ancho Chile and Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper. These aren't just for snacking straight from the bag; they serve as a versatile "secret ingredient," acting as a crunchy, low-carb breading for Southern favorites or a high-protein topping for savory dishes. For those tracking macros or seeking clean-label snacks, these small-batch rinds offer a satisfying crunch without the nutritional compromise. When paired with the artisanal craftsmanship of Bakehouse Bread Company, you can create the ultimate balanced brunch board. Every NYC foodie knows that a "hero" loaf or signature pastry from a dedicated bakehouse is the gold standard for quality. To style the perfect springtime spread, pair these artisanal crusts with local seasonal ingredients like whipped goat cheese, fresh berries, or local honey to balance hearty textures with light, spring flavors. In honor of National Nutrition Month, focusing on high-protein swaps is an effective way to improve daily wellness. Replace standard salad croutons with crushed pork rinds for added protein and less gluten, or swap traditional sugary spreads on your Bakehouse toast for nutrient-dense almond or cashew butter. Celebrating nutrition means making mindful choices—like "eating the rainbow" with vibrant spring produce and choosing artisanal, small-batch brands that prioritize quality ingredients over fillers. By integrating these healthy swaps for the whole family, you can enjoy gourmet flavors while supporting a high-protein, active lifestyle throughout the spring and beyond.
