#179 - Dry Skin, Stiff Joints, Low Energy? This Might Be Why It's the beauty buzzword everyone's throwing around — hyaluronic acid. It's in your serums, supplements, powders, and even your injectables. But… what actually is it? And is it really the secret to glowing skin, supple joints, and staying hydrated as you age? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real science (and the marketing hype) around hyaluronic acid — or HA for short. From skin elasticity to joint cushioning to why your eyes and gut health depend on it, you'll walk away knowing exactly how to use HA inside and out for better hydration, smoother skin, and less inflammation. You'll learn:
Be relaxed.Most people act like puppets: Smiling "perfectly" on cue. "How are you?" "I'm fine!" (Lie.) Three-second hugs. Stiff handshakes with plastic smiles.Disgusting.Our subconscious knows—they're faking it.Now watch truly successful people: They never force smiles or empty gestures. They're fully present, alive in the moment.Can you learn this? Yes.How to Rewire Yourself Breathe deeply. Feel air filling your lungs, leaving your body. Ground yourself. Massage your palm or face slowly—focus on the sensation. Lock your eyes on one thing (your hand, a leaf) for a full minute. No distractions.Then, when you meet others: See them. Notice one genuine thing to appreciate. Listen. Ask what they want—don't be a tyrant (like Trump, bulldozing people). Hug properly. Hold for 10+ seconds. Shorter hugs don't trigger oxytocin (the "love hormone"). Hold eye contact. Breathe deeply. Connection happens effortlessly.The Silent Secret to Happiness & Success Feel every emotion. Never suppress them—even anger or fear. Let them move through you. Be grateful for everything. Even the struggles. Connect with God (or your highest purpose).A grateful, present person attracts miracles.My Video: The Most Overlooked Habit of Highly Successful People https://youtu.be/UKO1RgeyqxwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Most-Overlooked-Habit-of-Highly-Successful-People.mp3

Episode 244 and Victorian popular fiction author H Rider Haggard features as one of the main characters of this tale. Rider Haggards' creation called Allan Quartermain appeared in 18 novels - the first in what has become known as is the Lost World genre. George Lucas and Philip Kaufman copied the Allan Quartermain template for Indiana Jones character - as well as the basic storylines for movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark. While King Solomon's Mines is Rider Haggard's most popular work, Allan Quartermain has since reappeared in movies in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which gave his books a bit of a push. His novels, which blended exploration, myth, and early ideas of evolution, also influenced the subconscious of his generation, resonating with spiritual and psychological themes that were explored by figures like Jung and Freud. Furthermore, his work reflects and grapples with late Victorian anxieties, including imperial politics, the changing role of religion, and burgeoning notions of race and empire. Right now, we're saddling up with Theophilus Shepstone in Pietermaritzburg - it's 1877. If you recall last episode, Transvaal President Burgers had gone to war against baPedi chief Sekhukhuni, which ended in a stalemate and reports of atrocities committed by German lead mercenaries. Burgers had already complained in England about their treatment of the Boer claims to the diamond fields - and the Colonial office had coughed up 90 000 pounds as compensation. You could call it a bribe, because that's what it was. The boers accepted the compensation, but did not back down on their claims to land in the vicinity of the Transvaal, including baPedi land. As long as the Transvaal remained receptive to the confederation idea at least in Carnarvon's mind, there was no real conflict to deal with amongst the local officials. But there was growing tension between an historian JJ Froude and Garnet Wolseley for example. Froude had been sent on a fact-finding mission to the colonies by Carnarvon and he became a surprising advocate for the Boers and the Free State and Transvaal Republics. His advice to Carnarvon was to let the states handle their own problems, as they resented interference from Downing Street. Cape Governor Sir Henry Barkly had been sending Carnarvon reports drawn largely from pro-annexationist newspapers in the Transvaal and the Cape Colony. These implied that the Transvaal was nearing a state of anarchy as a result of its war with the Sekukuni's baPedi. Eagerly lapping all this up was Sir Garnet Wolseley who was the very epitome of the Stiff upper lip Brit, a military officer and administrator, represented the opposite, more interventionist imperial view. In late December 1876, Sir Theophilus Shepstone departed from Pietermaritzburg in Natal with a small, almost symbolic, escort of just 25 Natal Mounted Police and a handful of officials including the young H Rider Haggard. Just as an aside, Haggard was not being paid for his duties as Shepstone's secretary. Work experience I guess you'd call it. However, Shepstone's secret instructions were far more decisive: if he deemed it necessary and opportune, he was to annex the territory to the British Crown. The Transvaal had no easy revenue base, and Shepstone introduced new taxes on both black and white Transvalers, while his administrative reforms chafed the Boers. Most resented they now had no elected representation under British rule and resistance started almost immediately.

The Stiff Bois return from a hiatus to debut a new series. Opening with Josh providing some context for the new series, a few apologies to our Stiffies for the delays, and thank yous to PWA for their hospitality on his Bucks weekend, the episode includes a short solo preview of King of Pro Wrestling at the start, but ultimately marks a new way forward for WWS. A new series focusing on breaking down the young characters of NJPW according to a set, Stiff coded criteria, this bonus format will give Josh and Dave the scope to dive deeply into the things they love in NJPW with a focus that should encourage real dialogue with our Stiffies. We will still do preview and review shows – and cover the latest happenings weekly. But this format will give us the room to go good looking. Plus, this is just the pilot. The format will be expanded upon in the coming weeks. We are excited about this one and hope the coming months of content will make up for the previous ones absence.To join the Club or grab some merch to support the show.thestiff.club Or weworkstiff.comYou can find and follow the show:On X / twitter@weworkstiffOn Instagraminstagram.com/weworkstiff/On Redditreddit.com/r/WeWorkStiff/On Youtubeyoutube.com/@weworkstiffEmail us atweworkstiff@gmail.comPlease Listen.

Dynamic stretching is an essential warm-up tool, priming muscles and joints for movement by improving mobility, increasing blood flow, and preparing the body for safer, more effective exerciseAgeless Workout trainers Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explain how warming up reduces injury risk - especially for older adults - while enhancing range of motion and exercise quality. In conversation with Peter Bowes, they highlight the benefits of directional movement and why aging bodies often need longer, more deliberate warm-ups.They note that short daily bouts of dynamic movement help maintain balance, gait, and functional mobility, countering stiffness caused by sedentary routines. Their core message: a well-structured warm-up primes both body and mind, improving performance and protecting long-term health.Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or modifying any fitness program.This is the latest in our 20-part series, Move for Life. -----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

I make no bones about it – I'm a bit of an Apple yuppy. I was hooked at a critical time. Travelling across the US as a one-man tv-news-making band, I often found myself in seat 32B on a cut-price red-eye flight, totally dependent on a laptop with sufficient grunt to edit HD video for hours at a time, and sufficient durability so that when it got knocked about in the overhead locker, the casing would remain in one piece. And the way these companies work is that the moment you rely on them for one thing, they get their claws out and squeeze you ever closer. I went from being a MacBook user, to an iPhone user, to an iPad user, to an AirPod user, to an iCloud subscriber, too. I'm more or less trapped within the system now. Locked into paying Apple every month until I leave this mortal world. But finally, I think I'm drawing the line. Apple has just released its latest Apple Watch and finally caught up to much of the smart device competition by giving users a daily sleep score. The idea is that you wear your watch to bed. It measures your heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, temperature, and your movement. It records what time you go down, the number of disturbances you have, your various sleep cycles, and how much time you ultimately spend between the sheets. And then, 1-100, it gives you a score. Of course, you can be smart scored on all manner of things in life, these days. You can get a smart toothbrush that'll connect to an app on your phone and give you personalised feedback on your brushing technique. Breezed over a lower molar too quickly? That'll affect your score. You can get a smart razor that'll do the same thing. Pushed a bit hard on a tricky chin dimple? Stiff cheese. That'll affect your score. You can buy a smart water bottle that'll score your hydration. You can be scored on your light exposure and your posture. Apparently if you're really curious, there's even a market in devices that'll score individual sexual wellbeing. Just maybe don't Google them at work. But to me, at least, there's a fundamental contradiction at the heart of the sleep score concept. If I'm having a bad night's sleep, few things are guaranteed to make it worse than knowing I'm being assessed. I'd get anxious. I'd stress out, toss and turn, flip my pillow back and forth. And for what? Just to read a number in the morning that tells me what I already know. I don't need a smart watch or a special ring to know I've had a bad night's sleep. I know because I feel bad. So I should've gone to bed earlier or shouldn't have had that late afternoon coffee? I should've turned off those other screens and devices earlier? Thank you, but instead of looking up a score I'll look in the mirror instead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Stiff and Fuzz, a rollicking exploration of the quest to re-create the impossible complexities of human anatomy.The body is the most complex machine in the world, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available—sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we're attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet?In Replaceable You, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body's failings. When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina?Roach dives in with her characteristic verve and infectious wit. Her travels take her to the OR at a legendary burn unit in Boston, a “superclean” xeno-pigsty in China, and a stem cell “hair nursery” in the San Diego tech hub. She talks with researchers and surgeons, amputees and ostomates, printers of kidneys and designers of wearable organs. She spends time in a working iron lung from the 1950s, stays up all night with recovery techs as they disassemble and reassemble a tissue donor, and travels across Mongolia with the cataract surgeons of Orbis International.Irrepressible and accessible, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.ABOUT THE AUTHORMary Roach is the author of seven best-selling works of nonfiction, including Grunt, Stiff, and, most recently, Fuzz. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine, among other publications.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - https://wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9781324050629

This week we are zeroing in on controlling the shoulders - how your rein placement, leg aids, and bend keep the forehand on track - plus quick coaching on rehab riding, stiff-sided horses, and whether (or not) to show. 30 Days to Round is underway, and the first live call covered what “forward” really means (spoiler: not just faster).HighlightsHands: Left hand stays left, right stays right—no crossing. Ride leg to hand with an elastic feel.Legs = rails: Inside leg creates bend; outside leg + outside rein control the outside shoulder so it doesn't leak out.Rehab on straight lines: Ride shoulder-fore left, then right along the same long side; add only big circles if allowed.Stiff on one side: Start with 5 minutes of groundwork (turns on the forehand), then ride and change direction often (hard → easy → hard).“I get it, then lose it”: Return to the sequence: Groundwork → Forward → Bend → Round. Small correct moments build topline strength.30 Days to Round RecapOur first live lecture was all about Forward and the recording is now available. Next up is Aids for Roundness on Monday 22nd! I cannot wait for this lecture!Happy Riding,AmeliaPS. There's still time to join 30 Days to Round and catch all of the incredible lectures and content! Check it out here!

Our guest today is Mary Roach, a science writer who's often drawn to taboo, or simply squeamish subjects, like sex, cadavers, or the digestive process.

This week we are joined by our friend, Hilda, who had to deal with the horror of living in a dictatorship before MAGA thought it was cool.
In this special episode, we're sharing Dr. Lovely's interview from the Women Aging Powerfully Summit with host Leah Vachani. With 20 years of clinical experience in women's physical and mental health, Dr. Lovely pulled back the curtain on Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause (MSM)—a debilitating but rarely discussed condition tied to estrogen loss. Here are the key insights from their conversation. Highlights from the interview: MSM affects 71% of women, yet remains underdiagnosed, with symptoms like joint stiffness, bone density loss, and declining muscle mass. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is protective: Bioidentical progesterone (key for nerve messages to the brain and back) and estradiol reduce pain, improve bone density, and preserve muscle. Protein is a game-changer: Most women eat only 55–75g/day, but keeping protein consumption optimal stabilizes blood sugar, and fights sarcopenia. Movement is non-negotiable: Resistance training and balance exercises (like single-leg stands) prevent falls and cognitive decline—even 60-second movement breaks boost metabolism. Doctor advocacy tips: Ask specifically for contemporary HRT like bioidentical progesterone and topical estrogen, and reference Dr. Vonda Wright's MSM research if met with resistance. Whether you're experiencing MSM, navigating menopause, or facing other health challenges at midlife, this conversation is an invitation to listen inward. The hidden pain of musculoskeletal changes asks us to honor our bodies with better nutrition, intentional movement, and empowered healthcare choices. Dr. Lovely's insights remind us that healing begins when we trust our symptoms as messengers—not enemies—and have the courage to advocate for treatments that align with our biological truth. This is more than a discussion about hormones and joints—it's about reclaiming agency. When we understand the science behind our pain, we transform fear into action. When we prioritize protein and strength, we rewrite the narrative of decline. And when we speak up in our doctor's office, we honor the wisdom of our bodies in a medical system that often dismisses women's pain. The path through menopause isn't about passive acceptance—it's about meeting your body with curiosity, compassion, and the conviction that you deserve solutions.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, invites Dr. Fiona Foo, a cardiologist specializing in heart failure, to discuss heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is defined as the heart's inability to relax well, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid buildup. Risk factors for HFpEF include age, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and certain medical conditions like chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Women, especially after menopause, are at higher risk due to specific factors like pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders. The podcast concludes with a teaser for a part two episode focusing on HFpEF management and prevention strategies. Dr. Bishop emphasizes the importance of feedback and sharing the podcast to help raise awareness about heart health.
