With the endless stream of advice, there are 3 keys for menopause fat loss you need to know. The answer isn't another diet, harder workouts, or doing even more.

If you're doing “all the things” but still frustrated by changes in your body composition, Bill Campbell cuts through the noise with three things he believes women should keep front and center.  Discover the 3 keys for menopause fat loss Bill would put at the top of the list—the advice he would tell his wife—and why they may matter beyond the number on the scale. My Guest: Dr. Bill Campbell is a Professor and Director of the Performance & Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida.

What happens to the university when students no longer need to do the work of thinking? For years, higher education has drifted away from its formative purpose toward mass-credentialing, efficiency, and scale. Artificial intelligence has already begun to accelerate that transformation—automating writing, feedback, tutoring, and more of the intellectual work students once had to (and ought to) undertake themselves. In the latest episode of the Magnus Podcast, Joshua Mazrin speaks with Dr. Lily Abadal, professor of philosophy at the University of South Florida, about AI, the modern university, and what education is actually for. They discuss why the rise of AI makes the humanities more necessary than ever; how universities can recover education as a genuinely transformative experience; and what we lose when students outsource the difficult work through which judgment, attention, intellectual independence, and a unique voice are formed. The conversation ultimately reaches beyond the university. As we increasingly outsource thinking, writing, attention, care, basic human tasks, and even elements of evangelization to technology, we have to ask whether greater efficiency is actually making us better—or merely relieving us of the activities through which we exercise our humanity.

I sat down with Sean Bonilla, founder of Ready and Able Defense and a law enforcement officer who came up through the fight world, and we dig into a question that doesn't get asked enough: are you even cleaning up your house before you try to fix it?Sean lays out a framework that cuts through the noise, starting with the one thing competitive fighting taught him that most cops never get: frequency of consequence. When you fight, you feel the cost of skipping training. In law enforcement, you can go years without that wake up call, and that gap is where complacency lives. The conversation moves from there into how to actually structure team training, why bringing in a third party before you have consistent SOPs just adds mud to a muddy plate, and why the frontline supervisor is the most important training role in any agency.This one is not about gear, and it is not about tactics. It is about the process of building people who think, move predictably, and keep getting better. Whether you are a TL, a shift sergeant, a new patrol officer trying to spark something in your squad, or just a serious practitioner trying to get the most out of your range time, there is something here that is going to make you rewind the tape and take notes.Sean is the same guy in person as he is online: organized, patient, genuinely invested in the people he is talking to, and blunt enough to call out the problems without making it personal. That comes through in every minute of this conversation.In this episode:• Fighting creates frequent, high consequence feedback loops that law enforcement rarely replicates naturally, and that infrequency of real testing is the root cause of complacency, not laziness or bad character• Before bringing in a third party instructor, a team must first have consistent, written SOPs and TTPs so that outside training reinforces the foundation rather than layering confusion on top of an already dirty plate• The frontline supervisor is the most critical training position in any agency: one sergeant who pays out of pocket, shows up, and brings his whole shift along does more for culture than any top down mandate• Confusing preference with policy is one of the most damaging things an instructor can do: if two instructors are contradicting each other on how to run a structure, the new guy has nowhere solid to stand• Predictability is the actual goal of team training, not novelty or complexity: if your guys cannot predict what each other will do, you have not earned the right to complicate the problem yet• The debrief is where the real teaching happens: pulling the answer out of the student instead of telling it to them forces the brain to work harder, sticks better in long term memory, and leaves the person knowing they can succeed, not just that they failed• Setting the expectation that missing is part of training and that 100 percent speed must be tested regularly removes the fear of failure that keeps shooters locked into safe, slow, improvement resistant habits• Identifying the deficiency first and then constructing a specific plan to address it applies equally to a two person private lesson, a SWAT team training cycle, and a sales organization, the process is the same at every levelChapters:0:01 Intro: The Capable Standard and The Brief2:33 How Scott Found Sean and Why He Wanted This Conversation6:40 Sean's Background: Fighting, Faith, and the Road to Law Enforcement8:45 What Fighting Taught Sean That Law Enforcement Can't Replicate19:32 Military Rejections and the Persistence That Led to a Badge23:44 Full Circle: Working for the Department That Once Arrested Him40:31 Early Exposures, Academy Culture, and the Gap Nobody Talks About50:50 Why the Frontline Supervisor Is the Most Important Training Role1:38:18 SOPs, Consistency, and Not Confusing Preference for Policy1:58:27 Earning the Right to Complicate: Building Predictability First2:10:05 Debriefing the Right Way: Extraction Over Instruction2:30:24 Where to Find Sean and Ready and Able DefenseMentioned:Sean Bonilla — Guest on this episode, founder of Ready and Able Defense, law enforcement officer, MMA fighter, and firearms trainer based in South Florida.Chris Kuras — Scott's original connection to South Florida, runs Good Dude Concepts and provides CQB training, which brought Scott down to the area for this episode.Zack Harrison — Referenced by Scott as a recent Iron Sights guest whose conversation about early exposures and training investment directly connected to themes in this episode.Chris Palmer — Scott credits him with introducing the phrase 'knee jerk reaction machine' to describe how law enforcement agencies respond reactively to critical incidents.

At 14 years old, Chef Diego Garcia left his family in Mexico and returned to New York alone. He barely spoke English. He wasn't going to school. He worked wherever he could, and for a period of time, he had nowhere to live. Diego slept in the New York City subway, cleaned himself up in restaurant bathrooms and helped people carry groceries while trying to save enough money to rent a room. His parents back in Mexico had no idea. But Diego's story didn't begin there. Growing up in Puebla, he worked alongside his family in street markets, unloaded trucks filled with produce and learned to slaughter goats and prepare barbacoa with his father and grandfather. Food wasn't a career yet. It was simply part of life. New York changed that. Restaurants became Diego's education. He learned English by reading newspapers on the train and learned his craft inside kitchens. French technique, Italian cooking, sustainable seafood and years of working alongside chefs from different cultures eventually gave him a language of his own. The road wasn't clean. As a teenager in Florida, Diego found himself selling drugs, stealing cars and dangerously close to a future he knew he didn't want. He left, returned to New York and made a decision that would alter the direction of his life: he was going all in on cooking. Today, Diego is approaching 200 events through his own private-chef business while working toward his ultimate goal of opening a restaurant built around seafood, Mexican heritage and the many cultures and techniques that shaped him along the way. But this conversation goes much deeper than food. Diego talks about homelessness, poverty, pride, family violence, bad decisions, abusive kitchen culture, leadership, fatherhood, healing from childhood trauma and finally learning to be proud of himself. For years, he was trying to make his parents proud. Only recently did he realize there was someone else he needed to make proud too. Himself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Survival came before ambition. At 14, Diego returned to the United States alone because he believed staying in Mexico offered him little opportunity for education or a future. When homelessness followed, he focused on getting through one day at a time. Food was part of his life long before it became a profession. Growing up in Puebla meant markets, produce, livestock and barbacoa. By 11 or 12, he was already helping his father and grandfather process goats and cook them using techniques passed through his family. Restaurants became his classroom. Without culinary school and with limited English, Diego learned inside kitchens while teaching himself English through newspapers, books, music and everyday conversation. His path could have gone very differently. As a teenager in South Florida, Diego became involved with drugs, stolen cars and other illegal activity. Recognizing where that road could lead, he left Florida, cut ties with that life and returned to New York. Cooking became the alternative. Returning to professional kitchens gave Diego a direction. What began as survival became a deliberate pursuit of culinary knowledge and eventually a career. He learned leadership from good kitchens and bad ones. Diego experienced yelling, humiliation, racism and physical mistreatment in kitchens. Rather than repeating it when he became a leader, he decided to pay closer attention to what the people working for him might be going through. His cooking reflects more than one home. Mexico remains central to Diego's identity, but New York is part of him too. French, Italian, Nordic, Asian and seafood-driven influences have become tools he uses to express his Mexican heritage rather than replace it. His restaurant vision is rooted in honesty. Diego ultimately wants a seafood-driven marisquería built around fresh ingredients, Mexican roots and genuine hospitality. His goal isn't to tell guests how impressed they should be. He wants them to leave genuinely satisfied. Success has become personal. For much of his life, Diego measured himself against whether his parents would be proud of him. Seeing his mother's reaction to his recent television appearance helped him recognize something he had rarely allowed himself to feel:   The Companies Helping Shape Hospitality Metro Foodservice Solutions - Commercial-grade storage, transport, and workflow systems that help professional kitchens operate efficiently.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the direct assault on our republic and Constitution is very concerning. Former special prosecutor Jack Smith abused his authority by obtaining secret subpoenas for communications from Republican members of Congress, numerous media organizations, journalists, and even the Mark Levin radio show, the only radio show in the country Smith went after, as part of his investigation into President Trump. These actions, carried out with the approval of federal judges and hidden from public view, violated constitutional protections, including separation of powers, the Speech and Debate Clause, and the First Amendment. This investigation was driven by political motives rather than justice. And make no mistake: the Biden White House was looped in on everything.  Also, if Donald Trump was not president, and Kamala Harris won the presidency, the Democrat Party ruled DC, and the Woke Reich isolation appeasers held sway, the Iranian regime would have nuclear weapons, complete control over the Strait of Hormuz driving gas prices far beyond what they are today (which would be the least of our problems), our nation and many others would be facing nuclear attack by an Islamist-terrorist death cult openly committed to our annihilation, or at least nuclear blackmail that would change the face of the planet, and we'd have few if any options in dealing with the Iranian regime. Now that President Trump has prevented ALL of these horrific scenarios because he uniquely had the courage and foresight to act, the various imbeciles of the Left and Radical Right beat their chests and howl to the moon as if they were right about something all along.  They were right about nothing.  But for POTUS acting, they'd be proven wrong about everything, to our grave endangerment and that of the rest of the world. Later, there's a proposed Islamic community center, school, and mosque project near Atlantic Avenue and Lyons Road in South Florida.. After reviewing property records, corporate filings, and organizational connections tied to the project, the ownership structure, property transfers, LLC formations, and relationships among various organizations have become so complex that it is difficult for the public to follow the money, understand who is ultimately responsible, or assess the project's full impact. Residents should demand answers, request records, and put their concerns on the record because this project could significantly affect the surrounding community and deserves thorough public scrutiny.

One hundred years ago, South Florida faced a hurricane season that would change Miami forever.Historian and author Mike Bilder joins HurricaneCenter to take us inside the extraordinary 1926 hurricane season — a season with fewer storms than today's average, but tremendous impact.At the center of the story is the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926.There was no satellite. No radar. No computer guidance. Information traveled by ship reports, telegraph, newspapers and hurricane warning flags. By the time the hurricane warning reached Miami late at night, conditions were already deteriorating.Then came one of the most remarkable moments of the storm.As the eye passed over Miami, people walked outside believing the hurricane was over. Weather Bureau meteorologist Richard Gray knew better. He and his assistant tried desperately to warn people that the other half of the hurricane was coming.It did — and accounts suggest the second half was even worse.Mike takes us through the storm, the devastating surge across South Florida, the remarkable work of the forecasters trying to document it, and the hurricane's often-forgotten second act: another major hurricane landfall near Pensacola.We also look at what changed afterward — and what hasn't.A century of technology separates hurricane forecasting in 1926 from what we can do today. But one of the most difficult parts of hurricane preparedness remains remarkably familiar: getting people to understand the danger and act before the storm arrives.Join Alex Garcia, former National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read and Dr. Hal Needham for a fascinating look back at one of the most consequential hurricane seasons in American history.Guest: Mike Bilder — Historian & AuthorIn this episode:• The extraordinary 1926 hurricane season• The Great Miami Hurricane• Forecasting hurricanes without radar or satellites• Miami's late hurricane warning• What happened when the eye crossed the city• Storm surge and destruction across South Florida• Richard Gray and the historic pressure measurement• The hurricane's second major landfall near Pensacola• How the disaster changed Miami• What 1926 can still teach us 100 years laterSupport the showSuggest a topic or ask a question: alex@wxguide.comVisit our conference site: www.hurricanecenterlive.comThanks for listening and please share with your friends and co-workers.

In this solo reflection, Carl looks back on a Sunday spent at church, and on the freedom he and his neighbors in South Florida, Christian and Jewish alike, still have to worship openly. That freedom, he argues, is what is actually on the ballot this November, even though the conversation in most living rooms is about the price of gas. Carl argues the Communist Party's presence on this year's midterm ballot deserves far more attention than it is getting, and walks through what communism has meant everywhere it has taken hold: the USSR under Stalin, Mao's China, and the millions killed or stripped of the right to practice their faith. He traces today's rising antisemitism and anti-Christian sentiment back to what he calls decades of educational failure, a generation taught that capitalism is the problem and socialism the solution, without ever being taught what socialism actually cost the twentieth century. He points to a reported $100 million in Soros-backed funding for socialist and communist campaigns, and to New York City's recent mayoral election as a preview of what happens when people stay home instead of voting. Drawing a parallel to the roughly 12 percent of Russians who backed the Bolsheviks before the Russian Revolution, Carl recalls standing in Moscow's Red Square just after the fall of the Soviet Union, watching people openly pray in public for the first time in decades. His closing message is simple and urgent: whatever the price of gas is right now, it will come down, but a lost freedom to worship does not come back. Carl calls on every Christian and Jew listening, whatever their party, to vote, and to make sure everyone they know votes too.   In this episode: ➔ Why the Communist Party on This Ballot Should Alarm Every Christian and Jew ➔ The Price of Gas vs. the Price of Freedom: Don't Be Fooled ➔ From Moscow to New York City: What Happens When a Minority Seizes Power   Connect with Carl: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube X Linktree   Produced by: Social Chameleon

I first knew of Helen many years ago because we grew up in the same small town area in the suburbs of New York. Years later, we connected here in South Florida through mutual friends in recovery.One of the things I find most interesting about Helen is that she got sober at a very young age. She had to navigate a challenging time in life when most people her age were out partying and doing what “regular” late teens and early 20-somethings do. Her path looked very different, and she had to learn early on how to build a life around her recovery while watching the world around her experience life in a very different way. We sat down and talked about her childhood and history in New York, what it was like growing up there, and what it meant to experience college sober and feel different from many of her peers.For someone who once thought she would never leave the Northeast, the pandemic had other plans. She eventually found herself in South Florida, married, and unsure of what Florida would become for her. As she put it, “One of the hardest things to do is leave the comfort and familiarity of the connections and routine that were already established to move down here.” It took time for her to find her people, establish new routines, and truly feel at home. And during that process, she was also navigating a divorce.Through it all, Helen was able to rely on the foundation she had built through recovery and the strength of her community. She walked through that chapter the same way she had approached so many challenges since getting sober at a young age with resilience, honesty and one day at a time.Today, Helen is living a life she has intentionally designed for herself. She is an avid water woman who loves the ocean and wants to stay as close to the water as possible. She couldn't imagine living anywhere else, and she has built quite a life for herself here. Her routine, work ethic, appreciation for the little things, and genuine enjoyment of life are a testament to what recovery can make possible. Helen's story is not simply about getting sober young or making it through difficult chapters. It's about continuing to grow, finding community, creating a life that feels authentic, and learning to embrace where life takes you.

Send us Fan MailMother Rucker is back for Part 2—and this time the conversation turns into a celebration of everything that makes live music matter.Paul and Kevin continue their conversation with Rocky, Joe and Zach about the concerts and musicians that shaped them, the South Florida music scene, and why seeing a band live creates an experience that streaming and YouTube simply can't duplicate.Rocky opens up about his musical upbringing and the path that eventually led him to performing and teaching, while the band explains why they would rather be called entertaining than be pigeonholed into a single genre. For Mother Rucker, the goal is simple: whether you're a hardcore punk fan or you're experiencing your first punk show, they want you to walk away having had a damn good time.The guys also celebrate the return of Respectable Street, talk about upcoming Mother Rucker shows, swap stories about Rush, Primus and other unforgettable live performances—and, naturally, get completely sidetracked by pizza, whiskey and whatever else happens when Mother Rucker takes over the studio.It's funny, chaotic and ultimately a conversation about supporting local bands, supporting local venues and getting out to experience live music.

Bankruptcy filings are rising across the United States. Total bankruptcy filings increased 11% during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025, with increases in both business and non-business bankruptcies. According to statistics released by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, annual bankruptcy filings reached 574,314 in 2025, compared with 517,308 during the previous year. Business bankruptcy filings increased 7.1%, rising from 23,107 to 24,737, while non-business filings climbed 11.2% to 549,577, compared with 494,201 in December 2024. While bankruptcy filings remain well below their historical highs—including nearly 1.6 million filings in 2010—they have increased every quarter since reaching a low of 380,634 in June 2022. So, what do these numbers tell us about the financial pressures facing individuals, families, and businesses? And when someone finds themselves overwhelmed by debt, how can bankruptcy become part of a broader conversation about rebuilding rather than simply financial failure? On this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I'm joined by Chad Van Horn, Esq., a South Florida attorney, entrepreneur, business leader, and philanthropist committed to helping people navigate financial challenges and create a path forward. Chad is the founder of Van Horn Law Group, P.A., one of South Florida's leading bankruptcy law firms. Beyond his legal practice, he has been involved in developing startup ventures that contribute to the local economy and has served his community through organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County. Throughout his career, Chad has built his philosophy around the importance of relationships, shared values, and connecting people with the resources and individuals who can help them succeed. As Chad says: “It's always better to have a team pulling together than to try to go it alone. However, you need to have the right team with shared values to achieve your true aspirations.” During our conversation, we explore what the continued rise in bankruptcy filings says about today's financial environment, the misconceptions surrounding bankruptcy, why financial hardship shouldn't eliminate someone's opportunity to rebuild, and how individuals and business owners can make more informed decisions when debt becomes overwhelming. We also discuss Chad's journey as an attorney and entrepreneur, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, how relationships can accelerate personal and professional growth, and why helping people regain a sense of possibility can be just as important as solving the immediate financial problem. This conversation goes beyond bankruptcy law. It's about financial resilience, second chances, entrepreneurship, relationships, leadership, and creating a roadmap forward when circumstances become difficult.   For more information: https://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

A thriving design business rarely starts with a viral post. It starts with a real workflow, a reputation you protect, and a brand people can actually find when they search. We sit down with Stephanie Salvatore of Salvatore Home Design to talk about what it takes to build a cabinetry and remodeling company as a young owner and why the “quality over quantity” mindset shows up everywhere, from hiring to installs to marketing.Stephanie shares her background growing up in a family trade that operated in Venezuela and Aruba, then making the leap to the United States and building momentum in South Florida. We dig into how the business shifted from window treatments to high-value kitchen cabinets, custom cabinetry, and closet design, plus how CNC fabrication and a consistent team help deliver better results. If you're a homeowner planning a kitchen remodel or a design professional trying to tighten your process, you'll hear how design, production, and installation connect in the real world.We also get honest about marketing for contractors and interior design businesses. Stephanie explains how changing a generic company name made Google search visibility easier overnight, why some paid lead platforms produce low-quality calls, and why Facebook Marketplace can unexpectedly drive closet and cabinet projects that turn into long-term client relationships. Then we share a calmer approach to social media marketing: stay current, educate, and aim for consistency instead of daily posting.If you want more practical advice like this, subscribe to Designer Discussions, share the episode with a friend in the design or remodeling world, and leave a review so more people can find the show.For more information on Stephanie Salvatore:https://www.salvatorehomedesign.com/@salvatorehomedesign@realtorsalvatoreTransform your marketing with Designer Discussions Academy.

Democrats focus their midterm message on affordability, the White House weighs a ban on U.S. diesel exports, and South Florida election officials defend the security of voting by mail.

When George Dubec and his wife sold the largest singles network in South Florida in the early nineties, the buyer was another matchmaking firm looking to expand into events. What they were actually paying for was the database. "They couldn't replicate me and my wife as the face of the business," George says. Nearly forty years later, that lesson still drives how he advises business owners. George Dubec is considered one of the top business and social networking experts in the United States. He began his career as an engineer, rising to executive staff at Packard Electric, a division of General Motors, before moving to Florida in 1985 to build companies of his own. He has hosted radio and TV programs including the Internet Business Hour, has judged the Web Awards since 2006, and now serves on the advisory board of America's Real Deal, a business investment television show. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How business owners can access capital outside the standard fundraising path, including tax credits, tax refunds, and legal settlements that already belong to them. Why a customer database may be the most saleable asset a company owns. How fractional deals, crowdfunding platforms, and crypto-based sweeteners are reshaping who can invest and who can raise. And why a two to five minute pitch video now opens more investor doors than a polished deck. GEORGE'S JOURNEY: George grew up in Boardman, Ohio, in a town he compares to Happy Days, where he saw the first television set in the neighborhood and the phones were still party lines. He was the first person in his family to graduate from college, attending Youngstown State University. He spent roughly eighteen years at General Motors as an engineer before buying his job out and relocating to South Florida in 1985. With his wife he built the largest singles network in South Florida, running it from 1985 until about 1992, before online dating existed. After selling, he moved into the early web with a company called Webstream, hosting sites, then building them, then adding search engine optimization. He launched the Internet Business Hour radio show in 1998 and ran it for about twelve years. He technically retired from the company in 2010 and shifted into alternative funding work with business owners. KEY INSIGHTS: Data is the asset owners undervalue. The buyer of George's first company wanted the list, not the events. He now maintains a database of forty thousand clean email addresses and tells owners to build one, because it can generate revenue long before an exit and may be what a buyer is actually purchasing at the exit. There is money most owners never look for. George describes himself as an alternative funder, helping business owners recover capital through tax reimbursements, tax credits, tax refunds, and legal settlements. As he puts it, going out with a pitch deck and asking for money is really tough, and most owners stop at the one channel they already know. Widened access comes with a vetting problem. Alternative investments were once closed to all but the wealthy. Opening them up has real benefits, but George is candid that many of these platforms have two or three years of history and no track record to evaluate. "It's kind of like the wild frontier. It's like digging for gold." The pitch video is the new front door. Investors are buried in decks and one-pagers they do not have time to read. George recommends a two to five minute video of you and your principals as the thing that earns the deck a read. What investors are assessing in those minutes is whether the person pitching has the attitude, moxie, and experience to make it work. Freedom requires a system. Asked what freedom means to him, George argued that eleven superstars who each do their own thing will never win a football game. "You gotta find a system that suits you, that you can be free in the system." Perfect for business owners who have been told that bootstrapping and venture capital are the only two real options for funding growth.WANT TO BE A GUEST ON DEALQUEST?Apply here: https://beaguestondealquest.com FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/georgedubec FOR MORE ON GEORGE DUBEC: https://theultimatenetworker.com https://techunfilteredagi.com https://www.americasrealdeal.com FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/ https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

After roughly eighteen years as an engineer at Packard Electric, a division of General Motors, he moved to Florida in 1985 and co-founded the largest singles network in South Florida with his wife, operating it until the early nineties. He then entered the early web industry with Webstream, working in hosting, web development, and search engine optimization, and launched the Internet Business Hour radio show in 1998, which he hosted for about twelve years. He has judged the Web Awards since 2006. Today he works with business owners on alternative funding sources, serves on the advisory board of the business investment show America's Real Deal, and hosts a new podcast called Tech Unfiltered. He is writing a book titled How to Thrive and Survive in the New High-Tech AI World. Related Episodes Episode 350 with Tom Dillon covers when not to take venture capital money and walks through alternative funding sources including private credit, SBA loans, term loans, and sale-leasebacks. It pairs directly with George's argument that most owners default to one channel and stop. Episode 370 with Gerry Hays examines democratizing access to early-stage investing through very small stakes, which speaks to the same tension George raises between widening access and protecting less experienced investors. Episode 351 is a solocast where Corey explores deal structures beyond mergers, acquisitions, and capital raising, including joint ventures, strategic alliances, and licensing agreements. A useful companion for owners looking to grow without a traditional raise.

How to build a strong foundation before considering HRT: Start with good nutrition — Make sure you're getting the vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s your body needs to use hormones effectively.  Keep your bowels regular — Regular elimination helps your body clear hormones it no longer needs.  Support healthy liver function — Consider factors such as alcohol, medications, and environmental toxins that can place an additional burden on the liver.  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.  A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School. Dr. Gray is one of the Midwest's most credentialed female healthcare providers.

It's a scientific fact that our weather is getting more extreme. Storms are stronger. Temperature swings are wilder. This summer set records as the hottest in the history of the United States. Behind the statistics and scientific patterns are human stories about people whose lives have already been upended by extreme weather events and the turmoil that follows. Luke talked with a resident of Gary, Indiana who lost power for half a month this summer. Then he connected with a man who lost his home and his sister in last year's devastating wildfires in Southern California. How do we recover, rebuild, or prepare? What are people across the country (and the world) up against? And what can we do about it? Luke sought answers from a meteorologist in South Florida who's been warning us about climate fueled extreme weather for years. We want to know what you think. How have your communities been weathering this summer of extremes? And let us know what you're seeing in your backyard that you'd like covered in upcoming episodes. Learn more about your ad choices.
