Bobby and Alex discuss the Philadelphia Phillies' new hyperbaric chamber partnership and its medical and scientific merit. Then, they update the ranking of the San Francisco Giants' new jersey sponsor, Airwallex.

“Grief happens because you don't stop loving the person who died. The person doesn't exist in your reality anymore. The everyday is not colored and shaped by this other human being, but you don't stop loving the person. So grief is a particular kind of unrequited love. And probably without that dynamic relationship with this person, I would be someone else. And he would've been someone else. I mean, Paul died before me.

Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATISTICS, ANALYTICS, and MATHEMATICS!! We do have a ton of fun talking about submarine pitchers, the Streak, the superstitions of baseball, and the mad mind games of player trading. Brennan has a one-sided beef with KNBR, Erin can relate to Hatteberg through her kickball experiences, and they both agree that Oakland's love for their teams has not been reciprocated by the team owners (EVER). Despite the A's move to Las Vegas, and despite our hosts being bigger fans of other teams, let's be real, it's hard not to be romantic about baseball.
Champion Data statistics have shown, that the only way to be a successful side in 2026, you need to move the ball fast. The Top 2 sides for this in 2025, funnily enough were Grand Finalists Brisbane Lions and the Geelong Cats. While not always, but most of this ball movement will start from the back half of the ground, which is why you're best ball users are best suited to half-back.With this Statistic being brought to attention by Champion Data's Daniel Hoyne, I set myself the task of picking a player from each club who I would give the Keys to. The "Keys of Attack" refers to the player who I believe is the player who has the best abillites to kick start the fast ball movement for each club. Listen along as we pick all 18 (or maybe more) players, some notable and some niche. Let me know in the comments who you would give the "Keys of Attack" to from your club.

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout This week on The Golfing Mind, we are stripping golf back to the cold, hard evidence. No clichés. No swing theories. Just Facts, Figures and Statistics. Over the past twenty years, the average PGA Tour drive has increased by more than ten yards. Ball speeds have surged. Players train like elite athletes. Technology has refined every inch of performance. And yet — scoring has improved by barely half a stroke. How can that be? We'll explore the rise of Strokes Gained — the statistical revolution that exposes exactly where tournaments are won and lost. We'll examine Greens in Regulation, sand save percentages, driving accuracy, and putting averages. We'll reveal how less than one stroke per round often separates the world number one from the player ranked fiftieth. And here's the uncomfortable truth: The margins are microscopic. One poor decision. One emotional lapse. One moment of doubt. The numbers prove what I've argued for years — excellence in golf lives inside tiny gaps. And those gaps are not technical. They are psychological. Because when performance differences are measured in tenths of a stroke… The mind becomes the ultimate differentiator. Let's examine the data — and then read between the lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome to this week's Midlife Minute episode. We're focusing on the importance of having good mental health today. Statistics show that women are experiencing increased anxiety, depression, insomnia, and even suicidal thoughts during midlife, yet the stigma around mental health remains surprisingly strong. Join me as I explore the science behind this, why it's happening, and the importance of empowering yourself to demand better care. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The issues that contribute to the midlife mental health challenges women are experiencing How sleep disruptions in perimenopause increase anxiety, depression, and irritability The metabolic and endocrine factors that can compound mood instability in midlife Why perimenopause is a neurological as well as reproductive transition The evidence-based benefits of HRT for supporting mental health The role of estrogen in brain function and emotional regulation Why HRT is especially important for women experiencing abrupt or early menopause Some practical guidance for using HRT to support mental health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

Bobby and Alex drop an instant (read: 12 hours later) reaction to the stunning news that Tony Clark has resigned as Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association amid the revelation that he engaged in an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, a staffer at MLBPA. They discuss what this means — if anything — for 2026 CBA negotiations, Clark's legacy as Executive Director, whether the role has become one exclusively for former players, and more.Links:ESPN on Clark resignationJoin the Tipping Pitches Patreon Tipping Pitches merchandise Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

You want some fascinating data about how we've changed in the past 60 years? Have a look at the birth statistics out today - especially the age at which mums are having babies. Last year, 14 percent of births were to mums younger than 25. In 1995, which is just one generation ago, it was double that: 28 percent of births were to mums under 25. And in 1960, two generations ago, it was 46 percent - nearly half of all births. Today, there are now more babies born to mums over 40 than to mums under 20. And I'm one of those mums - I was counted in last year's data. Last January, at 40, I had a baby. Now, if I could do my life again, I reckon it probably would have been better to have my kids about a decade earlier. Your knees at 40 are not what they were at 30. Kids want you to run, you don't really want to run anymore. You're just tired. But at 40, you also understand the value of time. If I had my kids at 40, and they have their kids at 40, I'll become a grandmother around 80. Which means I won't have that long left with them. I probably won't see my grandkids get married or have their own children - something that must be one of life's great joys. Leaving it late means missing out on experiences that previous generations took for granted. But there are upsides too. You are simply a better person at 40 than you are at 30. You're more in control of your emotions - a huge part of parenting - and that makes you a better parent. More importantly, and I reckon this is why so many mums are leaving it later - you're more financially secure. By your late 30s, you've probably bought a house, paid off a decent chunk, and established your career. Your partner's income is helpful, sure, but you're not dependent on it in the same way your grandmother was on her husband. And that's why I don't think the age of mums is ever going back down. Women are more financially independent than they were two generations ago. They have choices - and the choice they're making is right there in the data,They're choosing to have kids later.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, February 16, 2026, and this is episode #3 in Series 2026. This episode is titled, “The Demon Invasion.” Talk about demons elicits various types of responses, from “You’re crazy” to “You’re right.” In this week’s message, we’re going to explore briefly the topic of the current demon invasion and how the Christ-Follower should deal with it. We are going to focus only on what the Bible says because the Bible is Truth. But first, I want to tell you that my featured book for this week, THE ITALIAN CHRONICLES Trilogy, is on sale for only $21.00. This offer includes all three novels of the trilogy—The Madonna of Pisano, A Sicilian Farewell, and Return to Bella Terra. That’s a 42% discount off the regular price. This sale will last only until the end of February. So, get your copy now and follow the page-turning saga of Maria Landro as she faces losing her fortune, her family, and her faith. Click on the link below or in the show notes to get your copy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HFJC4RM And now, on to this week’s message. For centuries in the Western world, the topic of demons was considered not only taboo but ridiculous and off limits. After all, we were far enough advanced on the civilization scale that we no longer needed the foolishness of believing in demons. Science had taken over the western mind, and science was king. Moreover, science, being observable and concrete, saw no indication of demons in the natural, material realm. And, if we couldn’t prove something scientifically, then it did not exist. If we could not see it, it wasn’t there. Anyone who still believed in demons, therefore, was considered backward, uneducated, and downright silly. But things have changed here in the West. Over the past half century, with the rising interest in Eastern mysticism and a renewed interest in paganism, the spiritual realm has become a topic of major focus and exploration. Why? Because science has failed to address the inner part of us that is intangible. In other words, the human heart. When God created you, He breathed into you a soul and you became a living being. Scripture says this in Genesis 2: 7: “The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” In other words, God breathed into you His own breath, and this is what distinguishes you from every other creature. Your soul is what gives you life, what enables you to breathe and walk around and act. Your soul is what enables you to think and choose, to love and experience emotions. Your soul embodies your personality and is what makes you uniquely YOU. God also gave you a spirit. Your spirit is the core of who you truly are. It is the real you, your essence, and the only part of you that can connect to God because God is Spirit (John 4: 24). Now, what does all of this have to do with demons? Plenty. WHAT ARE DEMONS? Demons also are spirits, but they are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim. The Nephilim were the offspring in human form of the union between fallen angels and human women. The purpose of this unholy union was to corrupt human DNA in order to prevent the Messiah from being born. These hybrid creatures called Nephilim were eventually destroyed in the great Flood of Noah. But their spirits still exist and are called demons. Moreover, there is much evidence today that the Nephilim have reappeared because fallen angels have re-entered the earthly sphere. You may be thinking, “Dr. MaryAnn, you’ve really lost it this time! Fallen angels impregnating women? Come on! You expect me to believe that?” If this is what you’re thinking, then I refer you to Genesis 6: 4: “Back then, and later, there were giants on the earth, who were born as a result of the unholy union of heavenly beings with the human daughters.” These “heavenly beings” were the fallen angels who had rebelled, together with Satan, against God and were evicted from Heaven. Now stay with me because it gets even more interesting. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DEMONS AND MENTAL ILLNESS The LORD God became so angry at sin and at this unholy union between fallen angels and earthly women that He destroyed the earth in Noah’s flood. In that flood, every single person on earth died except Noah and his family. Only Noah and his family still had pure DNA from which the future Messiah could be born. After the Nephilim died, along with the rest of sinful humanity, their spirits continued to exist, and these spirits are what we now call demons. Since demons are disembodied spirits—in other words spirits without a body—they are continually looking for a body to inhabit, whether a human body or an animal body. When a person, through sin, allows a demon access to his life, that demon will encroach upon that person to the degree that the person allows it, even to the point of total possession of the person. Today, because of blatant, brazen sin, we are witnessing an increasing invasion of demonic spirits into people’s lives. The results of this invasion are catastrophic, first to the person who has allowed the demons entrance, and second to society in general. One such very serious result of demon invasion is the increase in mental illness. While there are cases of mental illness rooted in physical causes such as brain chemistry issues or brain trauma, a good deal of mental illness is rooted in demonic oppression. Sadly, this fact is rarely, if ever, considered by mental health professionals. Patients are given all kinds of medication that may alleviate the symptoms but never cure the root cause of the problem because the root cause is spiritual, not physical. The incidence of mental illness in our culture has increased exponentially and continues to increase. Suicide is on the rise, especially among young teens. Nervous breakdowns, panic attacks, anxiety, and depression have become commonplace. Incidents of random shootings are growing at alarming rates. Has anyone asked why? I posit that much of mental illness today is the result of demonic invasion of the human soul. Statistics gathered in 2022 from the National Institute of Mental Health show that approximately 23.1% of the United States population suffers from mental health issues. This calculates to almost 60 million people in the United States with a mental illness of any type. Why such a high number? THE NEFARIOUS EFFECTS OF SIN A chief reason is that the incidence of sin has increased. Sin, my friend, opens the door to Satan. I’m going to say that again. Sin opens the door to Satan. Our culture today openly condones sin and even celebrates it. Evil is promoted as good and good as evil. In choosing evil, people have actually invited disembodied, demonic spirits to use their bodies as dwelling places. And when a demon attaches to your body or, worse yet, lives inside your body through demonic possession, it wreaks havoc to your entire life, especially your mental life. If you yourself have been suffering from mental illness and are having great difficulty getting better despite counseling and medication, consider the possibility that demons may be involved and that you need to deal with your problem spiritually and not just physically or mentally. If you don’t know where to turn, seek the counsel of a pastor who is experienced in dealing with demons. If you still need help, email me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com and I will direct you to a deliverance ministry that can help you. You see, my friend, the goal of Satan and his demons is to steal, kill, and destroy you. Always. His goal never changes, nor do his tactics. Most of the world is oblivious to what is really happening out there. Hordes of demons have invaded our earth through what are called portals, or openings, between the natural realm of earth and the spirit realm above the earth where fallen angels reside. The Bible calls this area “the Second Heaven.” It is the headquarters from which Satan plans and strategizes his attacks on humanity. Above the Second Heaven is the Third Heaven where God dwells with the good angels and the saints of God, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and lived for him while on the earth. Directly above the earth is the First Heaven, the heaven we know as current residents of this earth. This First Heaven is now witnessing the invasion of demonic spirits from the Second Heaven. They are coming in the form of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena or UAPs, formerly called UFOs. The media is telling us that these sightings are aliens from other planets. In a way, the media is right. But what they are not telling you because they do not know is that these sightings are not aliens from other planets but fallen angels from the Second Heaven invading the earth to prepare the world for the rise of the AntiChrist, the personification of Satan himself. I have much more to say on the topic, but I will end here for this week. Please subscribe to this podcast for upcoming messages on the truth about what is happening in our world today. It is all prophesied and explained in the Holy Bible. We are living in a time of great deception. (Listen to my podcast for February 9th titled The Great Deception for more information.) The world needs truth. Truth is a person, and His name is Jesus Christ. If you have not yet met Jesus Christ, I invite you to meet Him now. Pray this simple prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I want to know You because I want to know Truth. I've been living a lie, and it has gotten me to places where I don't want to be. So I choose now to turn away from the lie and to embrace You Who are Truth. I invite You into my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for revealing to me that You are Truth. In Your Name I pray. Amen. If you sincerely prayed this prayer from your heart, you are now a born-again child of God. Welcome to the Family of God! Write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com, and I will send you a free PDF e-booklet titled After You're Born Again. In closing, I want to remind you that my featured book for this week is my popular trilogy titled THE ITALIAN CHRONICLES. See what happens to a soul who allows Satan to invade him.

A true calling always finds its way to you. Valencia Caldwell is living proof.Her father was an air-traffic controller who always encouraged his children to follow their dreams. After his death, a special flight helped lead Caldwell back to her first love — one that wouldn't be easy to reconnect with.The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics estimates there are 213,000 aircraft pilots and engineers in the country. Just 4% are African American, and organizations like Sisters of The Skies estimate there are fewer than 200 Black women professional pilots in the United States.Undaunted, Caldwell has been accepted to the United Aviate Academy, an intensive flight school through United Airlines. On this episode, podcast host Kim Shine talks with her about the often-turbulent path she's followed back to flying and how she turned to her community to help support her dream.#####Host: Kim ShineYou can contribute to Caldwell's GoFundMe here.Uniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the generous support of our members.
As wars drag on across continents and conflicts grow more complex, children continue to bear the heaviest and most heartbreaking cost.Marking 30 years since the United Nations first established its mandate to protect children caught in war, Vanessa Frazier, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, is sounding the alarm, and calling for renewed global commitment to prevention, protection, and accountability.Ms. Frazier warned that grave violations against children are rising sharply, with more than 7,400 cases of child recruitment verified in 2024 alone.Charlotte Frantz began by asking where child recruitment is happening the most – and what is driving it.
In this episode, Julia speaks with Maria in the final conversation of the Trust series — turning attention to what happens to trust in a crisis, when plans fall away and decisions must be made quickly.Maria reflects on trust not as something that can be trained or demanded, but as something that is created over time through communication, shared values, and relationships. A crisis, she explains, does not create trust — it reveals it. In moments of pressure, leaders rely instinctively on the systems, cultures, and people they have already built.The conversation explores the nightmare scenario of crisis leadership: being trapped in a system you do not trust, surrounded by people you do not trust, guided by values you do not trust. Without psychological safety, transparency, and shared responsibility, stress rises, communication collapses, and people look for exits rather than solutions.Maria and Julia discuss what sustains trust under pressure: presence, consistency, honesty, and the courage to listen. They talk about trust as a two-way practice — trusting others to speak up, and being trustworthy enough to genuinely hear what is said, especially when it is uncomfortable.This episode is a reminder that trust is the greatest asset in a crisis — and that it can only be drawn on if it has been built, carefully and deliberately, long before the crisis begins.About the Guest: Maria is a Master Certified Coach (MCC), accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) with more than 4,000 coaching hours. She brings over 25 years of corporate and consulting experience, having held senior regional and global leadership roles in international organizations.

Masked federal immigration agents are conducting unconstitutional raids across American cities, stopping citizens based solely on skin color and accent. ICE and Border Patrol officers hide their identities while detaining Americans without jurisdiction, violating Fourth Amendment protections and due process rights. Statistics reveal immigration agents face less danger than average civilians, yet they operate with masks and anonymity while regular police officers wear visible badges and name tags.Border Patrol and ICE have arrested nearly 5,000 of their own agents for crimes since 2005, with corruption rates exceeding those of undocumented immigrants. These masked federal agents have killed at least 40 people since last year, including Americans like Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Twin Cities residents, particularly Somali and Hispanic families with legal status, are hiding from immigration raids while thousands of students have stopped attending school.Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court decision gutted constitutional protections, enabling racial profiling by federal agents across the country. Immigration agents dragged an American woman from her car in Salem, Oregon, demanding papers despite having zero jurisdiction over US citizens. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed that ICE targets families based on ethnicity, not actual immigration status.Anonymity plus immunity equals impunity. When federal agents hide their faces while wielding deadly force, accountability disappears. Law enforcement officers should be identifiable public servants, not masked enforcers terrorizing communities. Constitutional rights mean nothing when anonymous agents operate without oversight or consequences.

I just turned 40 last month. And I don't know what shifts inside at midlife, but something changes when you hit this milestone. You start asking different questions: "Is this it?" "Is this who I really am?" "Is this all there is for me?" And if you've been battling an eating disorder for decades—maybe 10 years, maybe 20, maybe 30—you're asking an even harder question: "Who am I without this?" It's Eating Disorder Awareness Month. And this year, I want to talk about something we don't talk about enough—eating disorders in midlife. Did you know that eating disorder hospitalizations for women aged 45-65 have increased by 42% in the last decade? And yet, we still act like eating disorders are just a "young woman's problem." But if you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, and you're still struggling, I see you. This is NOT just a young woman's issue. And this episode? This one's for you.

Hello, all you and the Relentless Health Tribe trying to figure out how to do right by patients and the folks footing the bill. Welcome to it. This is episode 499, one episode before episode 500. So, come back next week for that one. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. All right, so today, let's talk about the inches that are all around us. Let's find some. Musculoskeletal spend, otherwise known as MSK spend, for any given plan sponsor adds up to the tune of something like 20% or 30% of total plan spending, depending on the member demographic. MSK rolls in at $16 PMPM, I just saw, according to a report Keith Passwater sent me a couple of weeks ago. It's the third most costly spend apparently overall. And it's easy to see why, right? On any given day, odds are good any given plan member is gonna do something that, in hindsight, was fairly obviously a bad idea and wind up getting hurt in some low-acuity way. For example, I remember that one time I twisted my ankle on a curb getting outta my car. Given the right space, enough time, and concentration, I can do the worst parking job you've ever seen in your life and manage to twist my ankle in the process. But I digress. Here's the point. MSK spend adds up really fast. Add to that something like 50% of spine surgeries are said to be unnecessary. The same thing goes true from injuries like twisted ankles, for example, that would have healed themselves without an ER visit, without any intervention aside from ice, rest, and elevate. Because it turns out that something like 80% of those twisted-ankle, banged-up-the-back types of MSK injuries are actually low acuity, and a huge percentage of those will heal by themselves. On that point, let me bring in some context here, some late-breaking news. I was reading Dana Prommel's newsletter. She wrote, and I'm reading this, she wrote, "The 2026 National Healthcare Expenditure data reports are out, and it is another sobering reflection of our current system. Personal healthcare spending has surged by over 8%, and our healthcare spend as a share of the GDP has followed that same aggressive trajectory." Then Dana writes, "The most troubling takeaway from the 2026 report is the lack of a 'health dividend.' Despite [this] 8% increase in spending, we aren't seeing a corresponding 8% increase in longevity, wellness, or chronic disease management. People aren't getting significantly healthier; they are just getting more 'care.' And that 'care' isn't always good care, or the right care, or care by the right type of clinician, at the right time, in the right setting." Is that not the perfect segue or what? Because this is what we're talking about on the show today in regard to, again, MSK care—care that can wind up costing millions of dollars across plan members, and it might be unnecessary because, again, the twisted ankle or the pain in the lower back would have healed itself without any care, without an ER visit. But if an ER visit was had, that patient probably is gonna wind up with a bunch of imaging. Probably is gonna wind up with a referral to a surgeon. And now there's a surgery scheduled, and the patient has been off work for however long all that took. There's a lot of direct and indirect costs that may or may not add up to any given health dividend or health span or whatever you wanna call it—better quality of life. Why does all this happen? How does it happen? One reason is what Dr. Jay Kimmel calls the white space of MSK care. This is where a patient does a truly breathtaking job parking the car, twists her ankle, starts to swell up, and now a decision has to be made: Go to the ER. Go to urgent care. Go home. Or what if it's a parent making this choice for a kid? In the olden days, maybe that patient would've called up his or her longtime family doctor and asked what to do, and maybe if that longtime family doctor didn't know, he or she would have called up the local ortho and gotten their opinion. Or maybe the two were sitting together in the doctor's lounge at the time, or maybe they rounded together in the hospital and, and, and … There used to be lots of opportunities for spontaneous questions and answers and curbside consults. But not today most of the time, really, unless you're a patient with a doctor in the family. But even for a PCP, who wants an ortho consult? Amy Scanlan, MD, and I discussed this quite a bit in an earlier episode (EP402). There's no doctor lounges anymore. There's no coffee klatch down in radiology either. There's just a lot of cultural shifts, in other words. But all of this, everything I have said thus far, all adds up to one big takeaway: These excess costs that don't have commensurate improved clinical outcomes, they happen because patients are on their own to triage themselves. They look at their black-and-blue whatever, or they're standing there listening to their kid cry and they are deciding what to do. And the thing is, if they choose the ER—because, again, they don't have a doctor, anybody they can just call with the right kind of clinical background—once they head into that ER and sit there for six hours and demand an MRI because now it has to be worth their time because they sat there for six hours; but now there's a false positive and the ER docs are being conservative because of malpractice or whatever and they refer them to some sort of surgeon … Look, everybody's doing their best with the information that they have at the time, but you can see how easy it is for a person to avoidably wind up costing a lot of money for a musculoskeletal injury that would have healed by itself. So, yeah, let's talk about how we can get patients some help in that so-called white space. How can we get them, triage before the triage, as I managed to say more than once in the conversation that follows? Let's get them on a good trajectory to start. Today, my guest is Dr. Jay Kimmel. Dr. Kimmel is an orthopedic surgeon, and he's been in practice in Connecticut for over 35 years. He and Steve Schutzer, MD, co-founded Upswing Health. I talked with Dr. Steve Schutzer about Centers of Excellence in an earlier episode (EP294). Upswing Health provides members with the opportunity to talk with an athletic trainer within 15 minutes and an orthopedic specialist within 24 hours. So, instead of having a panic attack of indecision and ultimately winding up in the ER, getting coughed on in the waiting room, members have somebody helping them in this white space so they can get triaged before the triage. I need to thank Upswing Health. I am so appreciative they donated some financial support to cover the costs of this episode.

There's a lot of noise in real estate right now.Headlines about agent counts. Statistics shared without context.Conversations designed to spark fear instead of clarity.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down why most realtors aren't actually your competition—and why believing otherwise can quietly drain your energy, focus, and confidence.This conversation looks at the widely discussed statistics circulating in the industry and reframes them through the lens of how consumers actually behave. Instead of competing with “everyone,” most agents are building businesses in entirely different lanes, serving different people, at different stages of trust.In this episode, we discuss:Why headline statistics often miss the real storyWho agents are truly competing against—and who they're notHow consumers actually choose who to work withWhy comparison pulls agents off their own pathWhere attention and energy create the greatest returnThis episode isn't about ignoring reality. It's about seeing it clearly—and choosing to focus on the work that actually builds a sustainable, referral-based business.

Have you noticed that our food pyramid looks a little different? With the FDA's 2026 release of the updated food pyramid and dietary guidelines, Jenn is here to unpack why these changes matter and what they might mean for your health and your plate. In this episode, host and health coach, Jenn Trepeck breaks down the controversial new dietary guidelines released by the FDA in 2026. From the seemingly dramatic increase in protein and dairy intake recommendations to her concerns about food quantity versus quality, what do these changes mean for us on an individual level or for our families? Jenn also discusses the massive implications for millions of Americans that rely on federal nutrition programs such as school lunch programs, SNAP benefits, the WIC program, and military meals. With the slogan “Make America Healthy Again” Jenn breaks down the resources to discern whether these new guidelines are based on evidence-based research or meat and dairy industry influence. Remember, nutrition is nuanced and individualized, there is not a “one-size-fits-all” dietary plan. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why the new dietary guidelines impact millions of Americans through federal nutrition programs, including the school lunch program, SNAP benefits, and the WIC program, and how these changes will affect meal planning for the most vulnerable populations✅ The controversial shift in protein recommendations from 0.8 to 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram, and why this increase raises questions about evidence-based nutrition versus food industry influence✅ The critical difference between public health recommendations and individual health needs, and why understanding this distinction is essential for making informed nutrition education decisions✅ How the removal of the health equity lens and emphasis on red meat consumption without addressing food quality concerns demonstrates the challenge of creating truly comprehensive nutrition standardsThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Federal nutrition programs, why dietary guidelines feed students with varied nutrients from different food groups01:48 New nutrition guidelines and the confusion that comes with the updated food pyramid 07:41 Why these dietary guidelines matter for military food assistance, school meals, and other federal nutrition programs 11:19 Statistics reveal 6.7 million on WIC, 41.7 million on SNAP benefits, and 30 million students receive school lunch nationwide15:39 Breaking down the upside-down food pyramid showing meat and dairy at the top, vegetables and fruit in the middle, and whole grains at the bottom21:26 Discussion on food industry funding and which beef, pork, and dairy associations paid dietary guideline committee members24:15 Protein recommendations increase without any mention of food quality or emphasizing plant protein sources like legumes and beans30:27 The recommendation of three servings of dairy per day ignores lactose intolerance and possible health impacts of dairy32:53 Only three servings of vegetables recommended per day equals the same amount as dairy servings36:18 Saturated fat capped at 10% creates a puzzle when combined with increased red meat consumption without quality considerations41:15: Whole grains recommendation of two to four servings a day44:01 Bottom line recommendations from the new guidelines assessmentKEY TAKEAWAYS:
In this powerful episode, Duane sits down with filmmaker Benjamin Flaherty to discuss his hard-hitting documentary, Shuffle. The film pulls back the curtain on the "Florida Shuffle"—a predatory cycle in the billion-dollar addiction treatment industry where vulnerable individuals are "brokered" between facilities for insurance payouts.Benjamin shares his own journey of recovery and explains how his personal experience allowed him to gain unprecedented access to a community often silenced or exploited. This conversation explores the dark intersection of greed and healthcare, the resilience of the human spirit, and why the current treatment system desperately needs transparency.Key Discussion PointsBenjamin's Recovery Journey: How a moment of clarity at age 41 led Benjamin from "professional alcoholism" to a transformative experience in treatment.The Origins of Shuffle: A chance conversation in an AA meeting revealed a disturbing trend: recovery call centers becoming a primary source of employment for those in early sobriety.What is the "Florida Shuffle"? Benjamin explains how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) unintentionally created a loophole where "patient brokers" poach insured individuals, profiting from their relapses.The Statistic that Shocks: There are currently more private substance abuse treatment centers in the U.S. than there are McDonald's restaurants.Witnessing the Cycle: The emotional weight of filming Corey and Nicole—two individuals caught in the cycle of being "bought and sold" by treatment facilities.The "Driveway Recordings": Why Benjamin chose to use raw, iPhone voice memos for the film's narration to maintain emotional authenticity.Maintaining Hope: Despite the systemic corruption, the film highlights the incredible resilience of those in recovery and the fact that healing is still possible.Notable Quotes"Stopping a substance is the entry card for admission. That's not the whole thing. There's a lot of work to do, and none of us know that until we find it out in our own way." — Benjamin Flaherty"We've now made relapse profitable. We've incentivized the struggle by providing substandard care because an insurance card is like a blank check." — Benjamin Flaherty"I approached my time with Corey not as a filmmaker first, but as a person in recovery. I had to witness it to make it impossible to ignore." — Benjamin FlahertyResources MentionedThe Documentary: Shuffle (also referred to as Stop the Shuffle)Website: stoptheshuffle.com — Find theater locations, tickets, and upcoming streaming info.Social Media: Follow the movement on Instagram @StopTheShuffle.Episode CreditsIf you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Commenting is up 24% quarter over quarter on LinkedIn.That number matters more than most people realize.It tells us three very clear things about what's actually working right now.First:- People are hungry for thoughtful, meaningful conversations.- Quick takes and surface-level posts get seen.- But content that makes people think is what gets talked about.Second:- Who you connect with matters more than how many people you connect with.- When your network is aligned with your ICP or true business allies, engagement becomes natural instead of forced.Third:- Thought leadership and educational content win when it's created for a specific audience.- Generic content gets scrolled past.- Content that speaks directly to your ICP invites comments, discussion, and real relationships.Here's the takeaway most people miss:Visibility isn't the goal anymore.Conversation is.If you want more reach, more trust, and more inbound opportunities, stop chasing volume and start building dialogue with the right people.That's what this episode breaks down step by step.Don't forget to register for our LinkedIn workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop
I'm not sure if you noticed this, but there is a massive gap between what salespeople and leaders know and what they actually do. I’ve written 18 books and trained hundreds of thousands of salespeople. I can’t tell you how many times someone comes up to me and says, “Jeb, I read Fanatical Prospecting. Great book. But that stuff doesn’t work for me.” Or they’ll say, “I tried that objection handling technique you taught, but it didn’t work, so I went back to what I was doing before.” Here’s what they don't understand: The problem isn’t the technique. The problem is that they gave up too soon. The brutal truth is that most people fail to implement what they learn. The Skate Park Lesson A couple of weeks ago, I was traveling for business, working with one of my clients' sales teams. One afternoon, I decided I needed some exercise, so I went for a walk. Along the way, I came across a skate park where kids were riding their skateboards and doing tricks. There was a bench nearby, so I sat down to watch for a while. Close to me was a group of young guys, probably 13 or 14 years old. They were huddled around a phone watching a YouTube video of someone doing a particular trick on their skateboard. They watched it, talked about it, and then one of them threw his skateboard down and attempted the trick. He immediately fell off and failed. The next kid tried, and he failed. Then the next one and the next one. All of them failed to do the trick. So what did they do? They went back and watched the YouTube video again. Then they threw down their boards and crashed and burned, but this time, slightly less dramatically than the first time. They repeated this process over and over. Watch the video. Try the trick. Fail. Watch again. Try again. Fail a little less badly. Until finally, one of them nailed it. When he landed the trick, they all erupted. Clapping, fist pumping, and cheering. And once one kid got it, the rest of them started getting it too. They practiced until they had the trick nailed down, then went back to YouTube to find another trick to learn. At that point, I got up and headed back to my hotel. But as I was walking, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d just witnessed. Too Often, We Give Up too Soon How often do we do the exact opposite in business and sales? We read a book, watch a video, listen to a podcast. We hear about a technique or concept that sounds really good. And we think, “Yeah, I’m going to try that.” So we give it one shot. Maybe two if we’re feeling ambitious. And when it doesn’t work perfectly the first time, we say, “Well, this doesn’t work for me,” and we give up and never try it again. Or worse, we read the book, feel really good about the concept, then put the book down and never even attempt it at all because we've already convinced ourselves it wouldn’t work for us before we even tried. But here’s the thing: Those kids at the skate park didn’t look at that trick and say, “This looks hard, it probably won’t work for me.” They looked at it and said, “We’re going to figure this out.” They understood something that most adults have forgotten: Just because you read about something or see someone else do it, doesn’t mean you’re going to master it on the first try. The Homemade Yogurt Failure Paradigm As I was walking back from the skate park, this lesson reminded me of something that had happened to me over the holidays. I’d seen something in my news feed about making homemade yogurt. It looked interesting, so I bought some milk, studied the recipe, and made an attempt. And I failed. My concoction didn’t turn into yogurt at all. My immediate reaction was, “Well, this isn’t going to work; it must be a bad recipe.” I gave up after one failed attempt. But after watching those kids at the skatepark, I realized the giving-up-too-soon trap I'd fallen into. So when I got home from my trip, I went back, reread the recipe, walked back through my steps to figure out what went wrong, and tried again. This time it worked, and I actually made yogurt. The recipe wasn’t the problem. My execution was the problem. And I only figured that out by trying again. The Human Overconfidence Fallacy Here’s the lesson: We are all susceptible to this human fallacy of believing that we can read something, watch something, or hear something once and then immediately do it perfectly. When it doesn’t work the first time (or even the second time), we conclude that the technique is flawed, or it won't work for us, or our situation is unique and different. But the truth is, we gave up too soon, before we gave the technique a fair shot. That’s just being human. We’re wired for overconfidence, instant gratification, and immediate results. When we don’t get them, we move on. Why This Matters in Sales Let me bring this back to sales, because this pattern will absolutely kill your results. You read a book on prospecting, learn a new cold calling technique, watch a sales training video on objection handling, or attend a conference or training and learn new ideas. Then you try it. Maybe it feels awkward, or the prospect reacts differently than you expected. Maybe you stumble over the words, or you get shut down and rejected. So you conclude it doesn’t work, and you go back to what you were doing before, which, by the way, wasn’t working either. That’s why you were looking for something new in the first place. Here’s what you’re missing: Sales is and always has been a numbers game. Statistics and the law of averages matter. Even the best techniques don’t work 100% of the time. You have to use them enough times to see the patterns and to understand what’s working and what needs adjustment. The Iteration Process Those kids at the skate park weren’t just repeating the same failed attempt over and over. They were iterating. They’d try the trick, fail, and then make a small adjustment. They’d watch the video again, notice something they missed the first time, and then talk to each other about what went wrong and what to try differently. That’s the process: Try, fail, learn, adjust, try again. But most people skip the “learn and adjust” part. They just try, fail, and quit. Let me give you a sales example. Say you’re trying a new prospecting email template. You send it to ten prospects and get no responses. The try-fail-quit people conclude the template doesn’t work. But a try-fail-learn-adjust-try again high performer would ask: Did I send it to the right prospects? Was my subject line compelling? Was the timing right? Did my call to action make sense? Should I test a different version? They’d iterate and test different variables until they figured out what worked. That’s what separates top performers from everyone else. They don’t give up after one attempt. Instead, they iterate until they succeed. The Success Leaves Clues Principle Here’s something else those kids understood: If someone else is doing something successfully, that means it’s possible. When they watched that YouTube video, they didn’t say, “Well, that guy is just naturally talented.” They said, “If he can do it, we can figure out how to do it too.” This is the “success leaves clues” principle. If someone else is making something work, that’s proof it can work. Your job is to master their patterns and believe that you can make it work too. When you read a book like Fanatical Prospecting, and you see examples of people who built massive pipelines using these techniques, that’s not fiction. Those are real people who learned how to execute these strategies. When you watch a training video and see someone handle an objection smoothly, that’s not magic. It is someone who practiced that response dozens or hundreds of times until it became natural. The clues and evidence are there. The only question is: Are you willing to put in the practice and endure the failures until you get there yourself? The Practice Paradox Here’s the paradox that trips people up: The techniques that work best often feel the most awkward at first. That’s because they’re different from what you’ve been doing, and anything different feels uncomfortable. For example, when I teach salespeople to slow down and use silence in negotiations, they hate it. It feels unnatural. They want to fill the silence with words. But the ones who push through that discomfort and practice using silence close bigger deals at better margins. When I teach salespeople to ask for referrals using a specific framework, they feel like they’re being pushy or scripted. But the ones who practice the framework until it becomes conversational generate more referrals than they ever thought possible. The discomfort is temporary. The results are permanent. But you have to get through the discomfort in order to get to the results. 5 Keys to Mastering New Sales Skills So, how do you actually implement what you learn? Here’s what I recommend: First, commit to practicing any new technique at least twenty times before you decide if it works. Not once. Not twice. Twenty times minimum. That’s how long it takes to get past the awkwardness and start seeing results. Second, track your results. Don’t rely on your feelings about whether something is working. Write down what happened each time you tried the technique. Look for patterns and notice what’s improving. Third, iterate. If something isn’t working after multiple attempts, don’t just abandon it. Adjust it. What needs to change? What variable can you test differently? Fourth, find someone who’s making it work and learn from them. If you’re struggling with a technique that others are using successfully, reach out to them. Ask questions. Watch how they do it. Fifth, be patient with yourself. You’re not going to master anything instantly. Give yourself permission to be bad at something new while you’re trying to master it. Your Homework this Week Here’s what I want you to do this week: Pick one technique you learned recently – from a book, a podcast, a training – and commit to trying it at least twenty times this week. Track what happens each time. Notice what’s working and what’s not, make small adjustments, and keep at it. Because here’s the truth: The techniques work. But you must put in the work before they will work for you. Those kids at the skate park didn’t give up after the first fall. They kept going until they nailed the trick. That’s what separates winners from everyone else. Not talent, luck, or some magical gift. Just the willingness to try, fail, learn, adjust, and try again until you get it right. And remember, when it’s time to go home, make one more call. Because that one more call is one more rep, one more attempt to get better, and one more step toward mastering your craft.
