Live fast, fight well and have a beautiful ending. On this week's episode, we are journeying to a minor planet in a third rate galaxy for Battle Beyond the Stars, a Roger Corman production that is arguably one of the better Star Wars knockoffs from the early 80s. The movie is also a loose remake of The Magnificent Seven / Seven Samurai with a character named Space Cowboy... I think you get the idea. Is the story behind the making of the movie more interesting than the movie itself? Did James Cameron's VFX work and James Horner's score do most of the heavy lifting? Why does Shad's ship have breasts? Should we be surprised that they still eat hot dogs in the future?

One week ago, the state of Louisiana’s Legislative Auditor’s office released its annual fiscal review of Grambling State University’s athletics program for the year ending June 30, 2025. The school was cited for a few audit irregularities and quickly announced that changes were being made.  That wasn’t the biggest news, though. Grambling’s athletics department lost $5.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.  Revenues were reported at $9.2 million versus annual expenses of $14.3 million. In percentage terms, Grambling’s revenue was only 64% of the amount needed to sustain the athletics programs at the current level. Grambling wasn’t the only north Louisiana public university whose athletics spending exceeded revenue last year The same Louisiana Legislative Auditor also filed reports earlier in 2026 for Louisiana Tech University, Northwestern State University and the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Each of these four football-playing state universities located north of Alexandria reported losses in their athletics programs for the year ending June 30, 2025.  Grambling’s massive deficit grabbed the recent news headlines, but there is a troubling commonality among Louisiana public schools not named LSU. Louisiana Tech recently cut an expensive deal (rumored to be in the vicinity of $8 million) in order to exit Conference USA and join the more geographically-suitable Sun Belt Conference. That move may turn out to be prudent for the Bulldogs over the long-term.  Louisiana Tech’s annual travel expenses as part of Conference USA totaled nearly $3.5 million.  Nearby Sun Belt rival UL-Monroe’s travel costs for the same year were $2.3 million.  Louisiana Tech is expected save $1 million or more annually on its travel expenses beginning this fall by moving to the Sun Belt Conference. Let’s look under the hood at each of these four universities’ athletics spending.  We’ll finish with a few common sense (cheap) ideas on how to achieve break-even in the future. Grambling State University – 5,200 students (2024/2025 school year) Grambling is nationally known for its athletics and its exceptional marching band.  It was bit surprising to learn that Grambling’s football program had lost $2.5 million in the most recent year.  That amounted to about 50% of the athletic department’s annual deficit of $5.1 million. The football team’s travel costs of $1.1 million last fall were higher than all three of the other north Louisiana pubic schools. The expense summary also showed nearly $160,000 was spent to cover the costs of the school’s spirit groups (for one or more road trip performances). Grambling’s men’s and women’s basketball teams each posted losses in excess of $900,000 for the most recent year. Grambling (like Northwestern State) participates NCAA’s FCS small college football division.  The G-men play in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Louisiana Tech University – 12,145 students (Fall, 2025) The Bulldogs are based in Ruston.  Louisiana Tech’s campus is less than six miles east of Grambling via Interstate 20.  The Bulldogs have been competing in Conference USA and a part of the NCAA FBS major college football division.  As mentioned earlier, Louisiana Tech moves into the Sun Belt Conference this fall. Audit results for Louisiana Tech’s athletics department last year showed a loss of $11.875 million. Football lost “only” about $1.6 million for the year.  Louisiana Tech’s men’s and women’s basketball teams each ran a deficit of about $700,000 apiece.  Other competitive sports at Louisiana Tech lost another $2.6 million.  The school’s income statement showed “non-program specific” athletic costs with a $6 million shortfall. As noted earlier in this report, Louisiana Tech’s overall travel costs playing in far-flung Conference USA were easily the highest in the group.  The Dogs’ annual total of $3.5 million for travel exceeded Grambling ($2.6 mm), UL-Monroe ($2.3 mm) and Northwestern State (less than $1 million). Northwestern State University – 8,402 students (Fall, 2025) The Demons from Natchitoches, Louisiana came the closest to break-even within its athletics programs among these four state schools.  Northwestern State participates in the NCAA’s FCS small college football division in the regionally-aligned Southland Conference. Northwestern State posted a relatively benign loss of $167,245 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.  The Demons’ men’s basketball program ran the largest deficit at more than $300,000.  The football team came up short by $280,000. Noteworthy, Northwestern State collected nearly $1.5 million in annual student fees to help support athletics.  That was about 10% of the school’s athletics spending.  It was the highest total among these four north Louisiana state schools. University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) – 8,678 students (Fall, 2025) Sun Belt Conference member ULM (like Louisiana Tech) competes in the NCAA’s FBS major college football division.  ULM is expecting to benefit from Louisiana Tech’s arrival in the Sun Belt Conference this fall with increased attendance and revenues expected at home games in all major sports. The Warhawks’ athletics budget is the smallest among the NCAA’s 136 FBS major colleges.  ULM’s overall school budget has been prone to massive shortfalls in recent years, too.  That means that ULM’s $1.5 million athletics department loss in fiscal year 2025 is much harder to cover. Audit results showed the UL-Monroe football program lost a whopping $3.8 million in the most recent report.  The Warhawks’ men’s and women’s basketball teams lost a combined $2.5 million.  Ouch! The school’s institutional support has kept the ULM athletics department afloat for years.  Significantly higher fan support for the Warhawks football and basketball programs is needed immediately.  Otherwise, the school may have no other choice but to consider returning to the NCAA FCS small college athletics division. A few suggestions from SwampSwami to achieve fiscal break-even These four north Louisiana state universities are located within 100 miles of each other.  Each school is a very large and important employer in its home city. These state schools must immediately address their athletics spending and move quickly toward achieving fiscal balance.  At the same time, they must also work harder and more creatively to raise sports revenues over the long-term to grow the athletics programs. First things first – Take immediate cost cutting measures – The simplest and fairest way is to voluntarily reduce athletics spending by cutting a certain percentage across the board.  That could come in the form of job reductions or, perhaps, an across-the-board pay cut for staff making more than $30,000 per year.  For example, a 5% mandatory spending reduction in Year 1 may spur some voluntary budget trimming beyond that level.  Yes, this likely means one less assistant coach, one fewer support staffer, one less charter flight, etc.  The athletics departments must take a hard look at streamlining operations.  Learn to do more with less. Refuse to play long-distance road games unless the school earns a significant profit by participating – UL-Monroe’s football team hits the road for at least two “Clobbering Time” payday games every season. They are often paid more than $1 million to play at large universities such as LSU, Texas A&M, and Alabama with huge stadiums.  ULM receives more money from some of these massive “visitor” paychecks than playing a home game in front of a sold-out stadium.  There are also downsides from being on the receiving end of a couple of massive road losses every season, too.  The football team and local fans can become a bit demoralized about the team’s chances for the remainder of the season. Now, let’s try to grow the revenue side with a few cheap ideas Stimulate increased student, alumni, and hometown support – Student and local support for the athletics programs within each of these four communities (Grambling, Ruston, Natchitoches, and Monroe) must improve.  Local fans want to see their sports teams having a chance to win more than they lose.  Identify sports which are cost-effective and give the school the best chance to hang a new (and long overdue) championship banner. Success in any of the major sports at these four schools can go a long way in rejuvenating and expanding the school’s athletic support base. Improve local marketing and promotion – It may sound corny but handing out free tickets to youth at local elementary, junior high school and high schools gets parents and guardians to purchase tickets, too.  A positive game day experience for that youth can plant a valuable seed about attending that college some day.  Each of these four north Louisiana public universities have thousands of empty seats available at football and basketball games.  A purposeful campaign to encourage and engage more youth at nearby college sporting events will pay future dividends. Inject more game day excitement – Utilize the pregame, quarter breaks, halftime, and post-game times to get fans more engaged.  Experiment with creative new (and inexpensive) ideas to keep the game experience fresh for all ages of fans. They will be more likely to return if they are having more fun at the games. Relentlessly promote ahead – There are only a few home football games played each fall.  Make each game special with its own promotion.  There are, perhaps, twenty home basketball, baseball or softball home games, too.  Give thought as to how to make each home game unique for fans. Target every recent (last few years) ticket purchaser by sending a weekly email.  Remind them of the school’s upcoming weekly sports schedule, special promotions, and discounts.  Utilize all types of social media to reach a wider audience to spread the word about upcoming college athletic events and team opponents. Depend on your own athletics staff to get the word out – Sadly, we live in a world with fewer and fewer exceptional local newspapers.  It is incumbent on each school’s athletics department to take an aggressive role in publicizing and promoting all ticket-based sporting events.  Fans want to know about the school’s upcoming games and events, so take the initiative!

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: All About Peptides, & The Good, Bad & Ugly of GLP-1's [0:00:00]  Ed's Restaurant Story & Healthy Eating Choices Ed's recurring bit: “Where did Ed eat this week?” Long‑time favorite restaurant Epicurean. Discussion of consistent healthy ordering and making good choices at long‑standing, family‑owned restaurants. [0:03:13]  Building a Health “Team” & Ed's Top Learning Resources Tease of today's main topic: peptides with local expert Noel Lawson, NP. Ed stresses “team approach” to aging—no single practitioner has all the answers. Learners vs. non‑learners: why ongoing self‑education is critical for health. Ed's 4 favorite online resources: Mercola.com – more cutting‑edge, sometimes controversial content. DrJockers.com – accessible, visual education on ailments and nutrients. GreenMedInfo.com – indexed medical literature backing natural claims. Nutrition World Instagram – short, practical health “snippets”. Story: Nutrition World wins a surprise $10,000 award from Ancient Nutrition for #1 sales growth in the U.S., tied to belief in product quality. [0:10:38] Introducing Noel Lawson & “What Are Peptides?” Introduction of Noel Lawson, NP (Double Bridges Health & Wellness), now practicing on the Nutrition World campus. Noel's background: Transition from traditional medicine to functional medicine due to patient frustration, worsening chronic illness, and provider burnout. Goal: more prevention and root‑cause care. Orthopedic background led her to peptides. What is a peptide? Peptides are like the body's Morse code—specific chains of amino acids acting as signals. Under ~40 amino acids = peptide; longer chains = protein. Body breaks down dietary protein into amino acids and re‑assembles them into peptides as needed (e.g., for repair). As we age, the body produces fewer peptides, which is why we heal slower and are more prone to injury and inflammation. [0:19:26] Functional Medicine + Peptides: Approach, Expectations & Use Noel's approach: Combines functional medicine with peptides. Peptides only work well if the materials (sleep, nutrients, stress management, movement) are in place. Uses comprehensive labs to optimize baseline health first. Delivery & protocols: ~90% of peptides are injectable (tiny insulin‑type needle, usually daily). Some oral options exist Local injections near the injury area Expectations & timelines First 2–3 weeks: less inflammation, modest improvement in pain, sleep, and energy. 6–8 weeks: improved range of motion and strength. After 3 months: realistic minimum for true tissue change; peptides can't shortcut normal cell‑turnover timelines. [0:21:41] Specific Peptides & Treatment Logistics High‑demand musculoskeletal peptides: BPC‑157 and TB‑500: commonly used for tendons, ligaments, muscle and injury recovery. Growth hormone related peptides: Examples: samorelin, CJC, ipamorelin, tesamorelin. Stimulate the pituitary to release natural human growth hormone (HGH) rather than supplying exogenous HGH. Potential benefits: lean muscle mass, better body composition, cardiometabolic support. Monitored via IGF‑1 levels to avoid excess. PT‑141 for sexual health: Crosses the blood–brain barrier and activates pleasure/desire centers. Can cause nausea in some people; alternative forms (nasal spray, sublingual troche) may reduce side effects. How Noel works with patients: Website: doublebridgeswellness.com Contact form → email → optional free 20‑minute expectations call to see if there's a good fit. 1‑hour new patient visits, not rushed; she practices on the Nutrition World campus. [0:35:01] GLP‑1 Drugs (Ozempic, Trulicity, Mounjaro): Good, Bad & Ugly Case study: 65‑year‑old woman with pre‑existing gastroparesis put on Trulicity. Developed severe vomiting, dehydration, abdominal pain; was initially reassured to “get used to it.” Second dose led to life‑threatening pancreatitis, requiring hospitalization. Later prescribed Mounjaro by same clinic despite this history. The “Good” of GLP‑1s: In Curt's clinic, used selectively for: Poorly controlled diabetes (A1c > 10, average sugars in the 300s). Significant obesity. Can lower blood sugar and drive weight loss, by suppressing appetite The “Bad”: Common GI side effects (up to ~50% of users): Nausea, vomiting, constipation. Worsening gastroparesis (slow gut motility). Rapid weight loss often includes loss of muscle and bone, not just fat—hurts longevity and functional strength. Ozempic face: gaunt facial appearance from aggressive fat/muscle loss. Risk of hypoglycemia Visual issues, including increased macular degeneration risk. Psychiatric concerns: Emerging data on increased suicidal ideation, especially notable because trials excluded psychiatric patients. The “Ugly”: Pancreatitis, gallbladder problems. Thyroid tumors in some models. Possible cardiac atrophy. Massive growth in use: tens of millions prescribed, with many discontinuing within a year due to side effects or cost. Risk that people treat GLP‑1s as a “magic bullet” without nutrition or lifestyle change—and regain ~85% of lost weight after stopping. Curt's conclusion: GLP‑1s should be reserved for specific, high‑risk cases and paired with close coaching. For most people, there are safer, natural options. [0:50:12] “Nature's Ozempic,” Gut Health & Upcoming Events Ed and Curt on supporting GLP‑1 pathways naturally: Berberine – “nature's Ozempic” for blood sugar and metabolic support. Akkermansia (probiotic strain) – gut health, metabolic benefits, GLP‑1 stimulation. Butyrate – short‑chain fatty acid that: Supports gut lining / leaky gut repair. Improves colon health and may help increase GLP‑1. Ed reports best bowel function of his life using 2 caps/day. People who start GLP‑1s often increase supplement use, but tend to stop supplements when the drug stops. Coaching is needed so they maintain nutrition and supplementation after GLP‑1 discontinuation. Practical tips & announcements: Colonoscopies: clear protein drinks are now typically allowed on prep day—can help preserve muscle and stabilize blood sugar. Upcoming Lunch & Learn (online): Topic: “The Microbiome's Impact on Longevity”. Format: Instagram Live (@NutritionWorld), Tuesday, May 5 at 12:15 PM. Upcoming in‑person lecture at Nutrition World campus: Topic: “Taming the Yeast: Candida‑Reducing Strategies”. Thursday, May 21 at 5:30 PM. Registration via nutritionw.com → Events. Closing: Ed and Clint wrap up, reiterating their mission of clear, actionable health guidance and noting the show will be out on major podcast platforms.

Selling in Japan is not about pushing personal gain in a loud, Western-style way. It is about uncovering what success means to the buyer, then linking your solution to that motivation with care, timing, and respect. That distinction matters because Japanese buyers often express self-interest differently from buyers in the US, Australia, or parts of Europe. In Western firms, an executive may openly say a successful project means promotion, bonus upside, or career protection. In Japan, especially in larger firms, the answer is more likely to centre on the team, the division, or the company as a whole. That does not mean personal motivation is absent. It means it is expressed through a different cultural lens. Smart salespeople do not force a Western script. They adapt the language, keep the trust intact, and connect their solution to whatever the buyer says matters most. Why is trust such a critical first step in Japanese sales? Trust matters first because buyers in Japan will not easily reveal problems, failure points, or internal barriers to someone they do not trust. Before you can diagnose need, you must earn the right to ask. That is especially important because the sales process can feel intrusive. A salesperson may barely know the buyer, yet quickly start asking about corporate struggles, stalled progress, or underperformance. In any market that can feel bold, but in Japan it can feel particularly confronting if the permission stage is skipped. That is why experienced sellers explain who they are, what they do, where they have helped similar firms, and then ask for permission to go deeper. A simple phrase like asking whether they may pose a few questions can lower resistance and increase cooperation. In consultative selling, permission is not a formality. It is a gateway to useful information. Do now: Slow down the first meeting and earn the right to ask before diving into business pain. Mini-summary: In Japan, trust and permission are not optional extras; they are the foundation of discovery. Why is asking about personal motivation so sensitive in Japan? It is sensitive because direct talk about personal reward can feel awkward, unfamiliar, or culturally out of place in many Japanese business settings. The buyer may not be used to linking project success to openly stated self-interest. That is one of the biggest differences between Japan and more individualistic corporate cultures. In many Western companies, a buyer may readily say that success means a bonus, a promotion, or protection from criticism. In Japan, especially in traditional or larger organisations, promotion often has a weaker direct connection to individual project performance. Bonus structures may also be perceived less as performance windfalls and more as expected compensation patterns. So when a seller asks, "What would success mean for you personally?", the buyer may hesitate or seem confused. The issue is not that the question is wrong. The issue is that the language must be handled with far greater subtlety. Do now: Ask about what success would mean, but be ready for group-oriented answers rather than individual ambition. Mini-summary: Japanese buyers may express motivation collectively, even when personal stakes are quietly present. What kind of answers do Japanese buyers usually give? Japanese buyers often answer in terms of team benefit, company satisfaction, or group harmony rather than individual reward. That response is culturally consistent and still highly useful for the salesperson. A buyer may say the team will be pleased, the department will benefit, or everyone will feel satisfied if the project succeeds. From a Western viewpoint, that may sound indirect or vague. From a Japanese business perspective, it can be entirely natural. The salesperson's job is not to judge the answer. The job is to capture it and use it later. Whether the motivation is framed as personal advancement, group success, or organisational harmony, it still provides a key emotional link for the presentation phase. The real commercial insight is that motivation does not need to be selfish to be powerful. It only needs to be real enough that the buyer recognises it as meaningful. Do now: Listen for how the buyer defines success, not how you expected them to define it. Mini-summary: Group-framed motivation is still motivation, and it can be just as persuasive in the sale. Why is silence so important after asking a difficult sales question? Silence matters because tension often produces the answer you need, while premature talking lets the buyer escape.After a sensitive question, the salesperson must resist the urge to rescue the moment. This is a discipline many sellers struggle with. When the room goes quiet, especially after a question about personal stakes or organisational problems, the instinct is to fill the gap. That is usually a mistake. In Japan, where pauses and careful responses are more common, silence can be especially productive if handled confidently. The buyer is thinking. They are deciding how to respond. If a salesperson or colleague jumps in too early, the tension evaporates and the buyer may retreat into safe, non-committal language. That can cost valuable insight and weaken the deal. Silence is not dead air. It is working time for the buyer's brain. Do now: After asking a hard question, count silently before saying anything else. Mini-summary: Controlled silence creates space for honest answers and stronger discovery. How should you use buyer motivation in the proposal meeting? You should use it early in the presentation to show that your solution serves both the company's needs and the buyer's own definition of success. That creates a stronger emotional and commercial case. In Japan, the formal proposal often comes in a second meeting. This is where many salespeople jump straight into features, process, and technical detail. Those things matter, but the stronger move is to begin with a summary statement that connects the proposed solution to the buyer's previously stated motivation. If the buyer said success would help the team, then say the solution will help deliver that team outcome. If they hinted at smoother internal performance or stronger departmental results, bring that back explicitly. This shows that you listened, remembered, and shaped the proposal accordingly. It also tells the buyer that your solution is not generic. It is aligned with what they told you matters. Do now: Open your proposal by linking the solution to both the business problem and the buyer's stated success criteria. Mini-summary: Motivation recalled at the right moment makes the proposal feel relevant, personal, and credible. Is it really about greed in Japan, or something else? Not really. In Japan, it is usually less about greed and more about alignment with what the buyer cares about most.The goal is not to provoke selfishness. The goal is to connect your solution to meaningful motivation. That is why the phrase "greed gland" is more provocative than literal. The best salespeople are not trying to manipulate buyers into chasing rewards. They are trying to understand what the buyer wants to see happen and then demonstrate how their solution supports that outcome. Sometimes that outcome is individual. Often in Japan it is collective. Either way, the mechanism is the same: listen carefully, accept the answer at face value, and tie the bow between the earlier conversation and the current proposal. That shows attentiveness, empathy, and commercial intelligence. Buyers want to feel heard, respected, and supported in succeeding on their own terms. Do now: Focus less on extracting personal ambition and more on aligning your proposal with the buyer's real success story. Mini-summary: In Japan, effective selling is not about greed. It is about respectful alignment with stated motivation. Conclusion Stimulating buyer motivation in Japan requires finesse, not force. The most effective salespeople earn trust, ask permission, surface what success means to the buyer, and then reconnect their solution to that answer when presenting the proposal. Whether the buyer frames success as personal, team-based, or organisational, the principle stays the same: people move forward more confidently when they can see that your solution supports what matters to them. In Japan, that connection must be made with subtlety, patience, and respect. Done well, it becomes one of the strongest parts of the sales process.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm at 46 yo female in the thick of perimenopause, and suffering from all its symptoms and I also have gut issues too. I'm going to run the Big Five and would also like to run the Menopause and Fertility test as well. My question is, will running the Menopause test be beneficial even though the Big 5 includes the Stress Mood test? I would like as much data as possible because knowledge is power, but also don't want to purchase unnecessary tests. Looking forward for your response!      Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Cantron/Cancel/Protocel? It claims to help with C using bioelectrical wellness. "Stimulate cellular regeneration so body can regenerate/repair more efficiently, by restoring the electrical environment which determines whether cells thrive/die." It has K, NA, Fe, Ca, Cu, sulfur and a blend of phenolic compounds from flavonoid family subgroup catechins, quinones, hydroxyquinones and cyclophentenes. My family knows people that have had success with it. My aunt has triple negative breast cancer despite taking it. She is adiment that she wants to stay on it while working on lifestyle changes. Taking it limits other supplements she can take so I feel stuck in how to help her. Any insight you have would be great!     Alex: Will it boost my metabolism and enable me to enjoy all foods while keeping my weight stable if I do every other day. So one day carbs only next protein only next carbs only next protein only and so on? Thankyou Alex      Anonymous: Is it possible that an inguinal hernia could repair itself without the need for surgery? (Asking for an adult female in case this matters.) What corrective exercises would be recommended, and which exercises should be avoided? How long might this kind of hernia take to repair if it is possible? Thank you!      Patricia: I can't handle any methylated vitamins or quercetin - I react strongly, fatigue, body tingling and aches, migraines. I know the cause - mold, and I'm working on it. However my coach (not an ihp) keeps trying to push methyl's as she says this means I'm methylating poorly. I think this means I can't clear methyl's, not that I don't methylate enough. What do you think? I do have a mthfr variant, not on the primary snp but the other one, and I am a fast COMT. I am trying to figure out how to dial in my b vitamins and how to make sure I don't overdo it. I take all non methyl forms now. This is also keeping me from doing your detox sadly, as the daily nutritional support has methyl's. Any insight or pointers would be appreciated!    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3726 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

This is wired so deeply into our brains that we feel sexual urges independently of our emotions or thoughts. Nature needs children for the future.And if there is no sexuality anymore, a man loses a sense of purpose—and eventually, he dies.To deny sex is to deny life itself.If you want vitality as you age, you must remain engaged with your sexuality. Even in old age, you can restore your sexual function—with training and good health. (Always consult your urologist first.)The Link Between Sex and AgingAging begins when we lose our sex drive.Without sex, men age much faster.As we grow older, we naturally lose some of our drive, vitality, liveliness, and passion. But through sex—solo or with a partner—we can maintain all of them at a much higher level.I want to confront you and break the taboo: Masturbation is not bad.Masturbation is healthy—as long as it's not done in excess or in the wrong way. And sharing sex with a partner is even better.But let's be clear: Masturbation is not dirty.For men over 60, masturbation is not just okay—it's a must for staying fit and healthy.1. Mindless Masturbation Can Lead to Numbness and EDThe key is how you do it.If you can no longer produce as much fluid, daily stimulation is still beneficial. Release only when you feel the need.But quick, tense, disconnected self-pleasure is harmful. When you teach your brain the same pattern—same hand, same motion, same outcome—it becomes boring. Sensitivity drops. Stiffness fades. Confidence drops. Loneliness increases. Disconnection grows.The fix: Make self-pleasure intentional, not performance-driven. Avoid porn. No rushing. No pressure. Reconnect with feeling, not fantasy.2. Not Masturbating Can Lead to Prostate Congestion and InflammationWithout regular release, the prostate can become congested. This can lead to:Frequent urination at nightInflammationIncreased risk of prostate cancerA Harvard study proves that men with fewer than 21 ejaculations per month have a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer.Regular ejaculation flushes out toxins and keeps the prostate healthy.3. Shame Around Self-Touch Damages Mental HealthLet me say it again: Masturbation is not dirty. Speak about it openly.Shame is a stressor. It raises cortisol, tightens muscles, and floods the brain with anxiety. Over time, this can lead to depression, heart disease, immune issues, and even dementia.But masturbation—when done correctly—releases dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. These are the body's natural antidepressants.You are never too old for self-pleasure.4. Sexual Activity Stimulates TestosteroneYes, even solo activity.As we age, our testosterone naturally declines. But if you stop touching your body altogether, you lose even more testosterone—along with energy, vitality, and muscle mass.The good news: You can support healthy testosterone levels.Maca root is one powerful aid. After taking it daily for two months, many men notice a real difference. I have personally increased my testosterone with Maca and other supplements—the difference in endurance and power is huge.(Always consult your physician before starting any new supplement.)5. Use It or Lose ItThis applies to muscles—and it applies to erections.Stimulate every day, whether or not you release fluid. Regular stimulation maintains blood flow, nerve sensitivity, and tissue health.6. The Pornography ProblemToday's pornography is ultra-stimulating: fast, high-intensity, and endless.Your brain was not designed for that level of dopamine flooding. After prolonged exposure, many men find they cannot perform without porn—or even with a real partner.The fix: Try a 30-day detox. No porn. No fantasy. Just reconnect with your own body and sensation.7. Conscious Masturbation Improves Longevity and Quality of LifeWhen done mindfully, self-pleasure offers real benefits:Better sleepLower anxietyImproved circulationGreater vitalityEnhanced moodFinal ThoughtMasturbation is not something to hide from or feel ashamed of. It is a natural, healthy part of being human—at every age.Treat your body with respect. Listen to it. Care for it. And don't be afraid to enjoy the pleasure it was designed to give you.

My first thought was how we could incorporate this hardware into our Information Coded Biofeedback Apps. Attaching the Genius App and using the Terahertz Wand as a delivery system well sounded amazing to me. Sadly, after some back and forth, this was just not feasible. I then reached out to the MLM Company Prife about customizing software to integrate with their Terahertz wands. As expected, no response. Nonetheless, we are excited about this product in terms of the ease of use and the initial results experienced. I realize that there is a lot of confusion in the industry as to which Terawand is legit and which Terawand is fake. Honestly speaking; this really saddens me. There is no such thing as a "fake" Terawand. This is just marketing hype and fake news. Developing hardware components is not rocket science like developing software with algorithms and mathematical equations. There is no real "secret sauce" like you find in software development. What makes our Genius App so great is the "secret sauce" in terms of how we analyze data and how we generate complex wave patterns. This is software and source code. When it comes to hardware, there really is no secret ingredient. So in my humble opinion people making claims about "fake products" and such are really just trying to protect their source of income. I completely respect that. In summary, we think Prife has done a great job at bringing awareness to a new modality. Give yourself a blow. Try the Terawand. If it works for you then great!

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the biggest predictor of dementia isn't your genes — but your metabolic health?In this episode, neuroscientist and performance coach Dr. Tommy Wood reveals why blood sugar regulation and blood pressure are more powerful predictors of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline than amyloid plaques or even genetics like ApoE4.For decades, Alzheimer's has been framed as either a genetic lottery or the inevitable buildup of amyloid in the brain. But emerging research shows that metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vascular health may play a far greater role in determining long-term brain outcomes.Instead of focusing on fear, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for building cognitive reserve and “cognitive headroom” — the brain's ability to stay resilient, adaptable, and high-performing as you age.You'll learn why crossword puzzles aren't enough, how high-intensity exercise and resistance training stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), why lactate may act like “Miracle-Gro” for your neurons, and how to interpret early warning signs like subjective brain fog.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Alzheimer's isn't just about amyloid plaquesThe powerful link between blood sugar and cognitive declineHow genetics (like ApoE4) increase risk — but don't seal your fateWhat “cognitive headroom” means and how to build itWhy high-intensity exercise may act as Miracle-Gro for the brainThe surprising role of resistance training in brain healthWhat subjective brain fog might be telling youHow menopause affects cognition — and what's reversibleWhy boredom and focus matter more than we thinkThe kinds of skills you should keep practicing as you ageFor women navigating perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Wood explains what cognitive changes are hormonally driven, what's reversible, and how to protect long-term brain health.Whether your goal is preventing Alzheimer's disease, improving focus and processing speed, or becoming a cognitive “superager,” this episode provides evidence-based strategies to help you build a brain that is robust, metabolically healthy, and built to last.Key Highlights: (00:00) – Brain Health & Cognitive Longevity Intro(00:35) – Brain Evolution & Survival Mechanisms(02:53) – Diabetes & Alzheimer's Disease Link(07:31) – Genetic Risk & Dementia Family History(11:32) – Expanding Brain Capacity & Headroom(15:08) – Cognitive Reserve & Brain Resilience(19:55) – Preventing Age-Related Cognitive Decline(23:00) – Exercise Data for Brain Health(26:16) – Best Exercises for Cognitive Function(35:11) – Amyloid Plaques & Alzheimer's Pathology(38:00) – Amyloid-Targeting Drugs & Treatments(40:31) – Subjective Cognitive Decline Measures(45:04) – Testing & Measuring Brain Performance(49:58) – Menopause & Female Brain Health(56:10) – Aging Brain, Wisdom & Intelligence(1:05:00) – Cognitive Processing Speed & Aging(1:07:07) – Benefits of Boredom for the Brain(1:12:17) – Book Recommendations for Mental GrowthConnect with Dr. Tommy WoodWebsite | Substack | InstagramPre-Order The Stimulated Mind for tons of extra perks!Huge thanks to our sponsors, Momentous, Vitality, and LMNT.

This Daily Habit Flushes Dangerous Fat in Days In this episode, Ben breaks down how your morning routine could be causing you to recycle inflammatory fat instead of eliminating it. Key Highlights: Your liver packages inflammatory fats and toxins into bile every morning. If bile flow is sluggish, those toxins get reabsorbed through a process called enterohepatic circulation. Industrial seed oils and excess omega-6 fats can stay in your fat tissue for up to 680 days. Bile is your fat exit highway. Clear flow equals elimination. Sluggish flow equals recirculation. The 3 Morning Mistakes: Not hydrating first thing, which thickens bile Adding sugar and inflammatory creamers to coffee Drinking moldy, low-quality coffee that stresses the liver The Solution: Clean coffee, when high quality and mold-free, has been shown to: Stimulate gallbladder contraction Increase bile release Improve bowel motility Lower liver enzymes Reduce fatty liver risk Simple Morning Protocol: Hydrate before caffeine Drink clean coffee (black or with healthy fats, no sugar) Allow natural elimination Support bile flow with bitter foods like lemon, arugula, and ginger Ben also shares a free 7-day fat-burning guide to help reset metabolism and reduce visceral fat. Bottom line:Your morning coffee can either trap inflammatory fat or help flush it. Support your liver, stimulate bile flow, and stop recycling what your body is trying to eliminate.

Tavapadon is a new investigational medication for Parkinson's disease that works very differently from traditional dopamine agonists. Instead of broadly stimulating dopamine receptors, tavapadon selectively targets D1 receptors—the brain's primary "go" signal for movement—and does so as a partial agonist. In this episode (watch on YouTube), I explain: -How dopamine pathways actually work in Parkinson's disease -Why most current dopamine agonists target D2 and D3 receptors -What makes tavapadon's D1-selective mechanism unique -How partial agonism may reduce receptor burnout and side effects -Why researchers are excited about restoring the brain's direct motor pathway This is not medical advice. The goal of this video is education—breaking down the science behind emerging Parkinson's treatments so patients, caregivers, and clinicians can better understand what's coming and what questions still remain.

China has been implementing targeted pro-consumption measures to spur immediate spending while advancing structural reforms to unlock sustainable consumption growth, as the country moves toward a more balanced growth model anchored by its vast domestic market, economists said.经济学家指出，中国正实施有针对性的促进消费措施以刺激即时支出，同时推进结构性改革以释放可持续消费增长潜力。随着中国朝着以广阔国内市场为支撑的更均衡增长模式迈进，这些举措将发挥关键作用。They said that a robust and expanding consumer base not only powers China's high-quality development, but also provides a stabilizing force for the global economy amid fluctuating external demand and geopolitical complexities.他们指出，庞大且不断扩大的消费群体不仅推动着中国的高质量发展，更在全球外部需求波动和地缘政治复杂化的背景下，为世界经济提供了稳定力量。At the annual Central Economic Work Conference held last week, Chinese policymakers placed "boosting domestic demand" first among eight key priorities on the economic agenda for next year.在上周召开的年度中央经济工作会议上，中国决策者将“扩大内需”列为明年经济议程八大重点任务之首。President Xi Jinping pointed out in an article published on Monday in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, that expanding domestic demand is crucial not only for economic stability but also for economic security. It is not a temporary measure, but a strategic move, he said.习近平主席在周一发表于中共中央机关刊物《求是》杂志的文章中指出，扩大内需不仅关乎经济稳定，更关乎经济安全。他强调，这并非权宜之计，而是战略举措。Xi, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, called for accelerating efforts to address weaknesses in domestic demand, especially consumption, to make domestic demand the main driving force and stabilizing anchor for economic growth.习近平同时担任中共中央总书记，他呼吁加快解决国内需求薄弱环节，特别是消费领域的问题，使国内需求成为经济增长的主要驱动力和稳定锚。Robert Koopman, former chief economist of the World Trade Organization, said that over the next five to 10 years, "an important evolution in China's role is going to be to shift toward being a big center of demand".世界贸易组织前首席经济学家罗伯特·库普曼表示，未来五到十年间，“中国角色将发生重要演变，逐步转向成为重要的需求中心”。Analysts said that targeted measures to stimulate consumption remain necessary in the near term, as the latest data points to slowing growth of retail sales. In November, total retail sales of consumer goods, a gauge of consumption, registered a year-on-year increase of 1.3 percent, down 1.6 percentage points compared with October, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.分析师指出，鉴于最新数据显示零售额增速放缓，短期内仍需采取有针对性的措施刺激消费。国家统计局数据显示，作为消费风向标的11月社会消费品零售总额同比增长1.3%，较10月增速回落1.6个百分点。On Sunday, the Ministry of Commerce, along with the People's Bank of China, which is China's central bank, and the National Financial Regulatory Administration, jointly released a document pledging stronger financial support for consumer spending.周日，商务部联合中国人民银行（中国央行）和国家金融监督管理总局共同发布文件，承诺将加大对消费支出的金融支持力度。In the document, financial institutions were encouraged to refine their services for consumption on big-ticket goods, while for the services sector, the document emphasized innovative financial products targeting industries such as elderly care, catering, tourism and education.该文件鼓励金融机构完善针对大宗商品消费的服务，同时强调服务行业应推出创新金融产品，重点面向养老、餐饮、旅游和教育等领域。Dong Ximiao, chief researcher at Merchants Union Consumer Finance Co, said that front-loading of such support weeks before the new year is designed to secure early economic momentum and set a positive trajectory for 2026.招商银行消费金融公司首席研究员董希淼表示，在新年到来前数周提前推出此类支持措施，旨在确保经济早日获得动能，为2026年奠定积极发展轨迹。In particular, the move, launched ahead of the Spring Festival shopping season in mid-February, signaled a strategic effort to harness the year's peak consumption period, Dong added.董希淼补充道，这项举措特别选在二月中旬春节购物季前启动，标志着企业正采取战略性举措，力求把握年度消费高峰期。Analysts view the latest move as part of a calibrated "one-two punch" for consumption, pairing targeted financial support with extended trade-in programs through 2026.分析师认为，此番举措是刺激消费的精心策划的“组合拳”，将定向金融支持与延长至2026年的以旧换新计划相结合。Han Wenxiu, executive deputy director of the Office of the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs, told a news conference on Saturday that China should "adapt to the evolving consumption structure by expanding the supply of high-quality goods and services, and optimize the implementation of the trade-in policies".中央财经委员会办公室副主任韩文秀周六在记者会上表示，中国应“通过扩大优质商品和服务供给适应消费结构变化，优化以旧换新政策实施”。According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, from January to November this year, trade-in programs pushed sales of related goods beyond 2.5 trillion yuan ($355 billion), benefiting more than 360 million people.据商务部数据显示，今年1至11月，以旧换新活动带动相关商品销售额突破2.5万亿元（约合3550亿美元），惠及超过3.6亿人。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said that next year's trade-ins could incorporate a wider range of products, particularly those with artificial intelligence features. Wang suggested scaling up the annual funding pool to 500 billion yuan — an increase from this year's 300 billion yuan.金信评级首席宏观分析师王青表示，明年的以旧换新政策可能涵盖更广泛的产品，特别是具备人工智能功能的产品。王青建议将年度资金池规模扩大至5000亿元人民币——较今年的3000亿元有所增加。In late November, China unveiled a plan to improve the alignment of the supply and demand of consumer goods, highlighting the application of AI across all sectors and processes of the consumer goods industry.11月下旬，中国公布了一项优化消费品供需匹配的计划，强调人工智能技术将全面应用于消费品行业的各个领域和生产环节。"More important, the scope of support could broaden beyond durable goods to encompass a wide range of service sectors such as childhood education," Wang added.王青补充道：“更重要的是，支持范围可能从耐用品扩展到涵盖儿童教育等广泛的服务领域。”Structural reforms结构化改革Besides short-term measures, analysts emphasized that sustaining consumer strength will increasingly depend on deeper structural reforms, including raising household income, strengthening the social safety net and improving livelihoods.除短期措施外，分析师强调，维持消费韧性将日益依赖更深层次的结构性改革，包括提高居民收入、强化社会安全网以及改善民生。To this end, the tone-setting meeting last week explicitly advocated "increased incomes for urban and rural residents".为此，上周的定调会议明确倡导“提高城乡居民收入”。Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said that "the policy focus is gradually evolving from simple stimulus to bolstering both the capacity and willingness of households to spend".中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬表示：“政策重点正逐步从单纯的刺激转向增强家庭消费能力和意愿。”Wen pointed to potential measures such as adjusting personal income tax thresholds, maintaining steady growth in social welfare spending, and advancing policies that promote high-quality employment as key to enabling durable consumption growth.温彬指出了若干潜在措施，包括调整个人所得税起征点、保持社会福利支出稳定增长、推进促进高质量就业的政策，这些措施是实现消费持续增长的关键。China has also been proactively encouraging inbound consumption to enhance the resilience of its domestic market through the "Shopping in China" campaign, fueled by China's unilateral visa-free policies for various countries and a new initiative allowing eligible travelers to receive instant tax refunds.中国还通过“中国购物”活动积极鼓励入境消费，以增强国内市场的韧性。该活动得益于中国对多个国家实施的单方面免签政策，以及一项允许符合条件的旅客即时退税的新举措。

From the BBC World Service: Japan's cabinet has approved a stimulus package worth more than $130 billion. It's the first major policy initiative of the new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, and aims to help households and companies with measures like energy subsidies and tax cuts. Then, the global climate change conference COP30 is drawing to a close in Brazil, and so far, there's been no agreement on key issues like the fossil fuel phaseout.

In this special episode, we take you inside the STIMULATE: Purpose to Pleasure conference — a space where sexual wellness, empowerment, and personal expression collide. I walked the floor and asked innovators, educators, and brand leaders one powerful question: How do you define intimacy?From sensual connection to emotional safety, from self-love to curiosity and exploration, you'll hear raw, thoughtful, and diverse answers that challenge the way we think about intimacy — not just in relationships, but within ourselves. This isn't just about pleasure toys and wellness brands; it's about connection, vulnerability, body autonomy, and reclaiming what it means to feel empowered in our skin.Whether you're on a personal journey, healing old narratives, or stepping boldly into your pleasure era, this episode invites you to explore intimacy as a lived experience — one rooted in presence, authenticity, and self-permission.To learn more about STIMULATE, visit: https://stimulatetheshow.comSpecial thanks to the brands in this episode: My Plus OneTenga GlobalMotor BunnyPromescentLike A KittenPopstar LabsAneros Wicked Sensual CareSplash BlanketCommon ConfidentialSportsheetsSexual Health AllianceThe Future MethodGet Lucky ToysNu SensuelleFantasia ToyWujjPure EnvyDame ProductsCoconuPro DXO Shot Women

This week we discuss changing the outcome of your health with nutrition & exercise.  Our guest today is Dr. James Thompson, the author of Fearless Wellness and a passionate advocate for transformational change. He completed medical training 35 years ago and has dedicated my career to empowering others to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.  ​He experienced a life-changing event in 2012 and participated in a 21-day Daniel Fast with my church community. Though the three-week diet, equivalent to a whole food plant-based diet, was intended to emphasize prayer, the impact of the food intrigued him. By the end of the second week, he had more energy, fewer joint aches, more mental clarity, better sleep, and lower blood pressure. He surmised the benefits were mainly from consuming real food and omitting processed food.  He decided to take a year-long certification course in integrative holistic nutrition which was the start of his transformation to a whole food plant-based lifestyle. His training course, combined with a decade of studying nutrition science, love of animals, and concerns about climate change, has led me to the current space where he resides, a vegan. ​Here is the basic outline  & links to his Blog and his new book : "FEARLESS Wellness: Transform Your Life, One Step at a Time" F – Food: Embrace plant-based eating E – Exercise: Stay active regularly A – Avoid toxins: Eliminate harmful habits (e.g., tobacco) R – Restorative sleep: Prioritize quality rest L – Lessen stress: Manage and reduce daily pressures E – Engage your mind: Stimulate mental growth S – Social energy: Cultivate empathy and connections S – Spiritual connectivity: Foster a sense of purpose and belonging ​

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog You can convince yourself of a fairy tale that the US government provides us with excellent advice on how to be healthy—for instance, what the percentages of each food group should be, like the food pyramid or the food plate. However, time has shown that they aren't focused on our health with their recommendations; rather, they are attempting to promote the food produced in the US. It's all about money. We now understand that the government-approved food pyramid has contributed to an increase in obesity, illness, and diabetes over the last 60 years, primarily because its main goal was to promote grains in the form of cereals to children. This has led to the unfortunate situation we face today, characterized by rising rates of diabetes and obesity.  To make matters worse, iodine has been removed from bread and other foods, leaving many Americans with hypothyroidism.   The allowed food additives extend shelf life (and profits) but diminish human longevity. Ultimately, the government should not dictate our dietary choices! Supplements are substances like minerals, vitamins, peptides, and glandulars intended to enhance the inadequate American diet; however, medical societies and the FDA do not endorse their use. Nonetheless, we need them to improve nutrition, prevent disease, and provide the building blocks for bones and muscles, as well as to counteract the chemicals present in our water, food, and air mandated by the government. Supplements help protect us from the poor advice and environmental pollution we encounter in everyday life. Environmental regulations and processes have resulted in increased illnesses, such as hypothyroidism, due to the addition of fluoride to our water instead of solely to our toothpaste.  Fluoride depletes iodine levels in our breasts and thyroid, contributing to conditions like breast cysts, breast cancer, and hypothyroidism. Regarding water—are you aware that the water treatment managed by our local governments incorporates harmful chemicals into our drinking water, which may be carcinogenic, in an effort to prevent lead from leaching from very old pipes? This system is outdated because most of the population uses copper or plastic pipes, and lead has not been used in construction for more than 50 years. The anti-lead chemicals that are added can adversely affect our health. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Other examples of how our government prioritizes profit over the health of its citizens include allowing big pharma to price necessary medicines beyond the reach of the average person, all to enhance the stock value of these companies. The price of the same drug from the same manufacturer in other countries is significantly lower than for its own citizens. It should be the other way around. Even then, we are sicker and heavier than any other first-world country. Since you are not here to learn about politics, this serves as my segue into discussing the current denigration of the importance of vitamins and mineral supplements for our health. Just consider this:  the average diet consists of processed foods lacking any nutritional value. Fast food contains additives that encourage us to eat more rather than less; portion sizes have increased, and the consumption of whole foods has declined over my lifetime. These are the most compelling reasons I have for taking nutritional supplements that we used to get from our diets before the 1960s. Since we know our patients are consuming chemicals that harm their health, my goal as a preventive medicine doctor, along with my nurses and nurse practitioners, is to keep our patients healthy, even when the government does not!   You should heed our recommendations for specific supplements tailored to your individual symptoms and future health. Public health aims to make the group generically “healthier” by governmental standards, but medical care should prioritize our patients, striving for each individual to live a long, disease-free life. However, we face significant misinformation in this battle! Why don't mainstream medical groups recommend supplements? Their reasons include a focus on illness rather than wellness, making them more reactive than preventive in perspective. Additionally, most doctors lack training in nutrition and are often unhealthy and overweight. Another factor is that they primarily deal with medications and surgeries, which is what they typically recommend. In the twenty-first century, we all need supplemental nutrition.  I don't have a single patient whom I believe is getting everything she needs from her diet without supplements. Supplements include minerals, vitamins, herbs, select foods, and animal glands that help maintain health and prevent illness by compensating for what modern food may lack. The supplements recommended by your BioBalance Health doctor and NPs are tailored to meet various individual needs, so please read about why we prescribe these supplements specifically for you. Supplements add to the nutrients that are missing from our modern diet.   What health benefits can supplements offer? Act as alternatives to medication Enhance the activity of deficient hormones as people age Stimulate the production of hormones Provide the right form of a vitamin that you need and can't get from food Replace the minerals that are lacking in locally grown foods and water Supplements can replace the natural components of drinking water Supplements provide minerals and vitamins that prevent diseases like hypothyroidism. Supplemental animal glandulars are successful at reversing deficiencies that are not available in FDA-approved drugs. Preventive medicine physicians recommend supplements for various reasons: To improve your nutrition To mitigate genetic abnormalities such as elevated homocysteine levels. To counteract chemicals in the environment To treat medical conditions with no known medications To supply certain minerals that are deficient in your area of our country To treat abnormal hormone levels like low thyroid To treat certain symptoms and conditions that have no other solution To prevent future disease To stimulate the production of certain hormones to take the place of a prescription drug To detoxify your liver and gut To improve the absorption of nutrients in the gut To supply minerals and vitamins for osteoporosis To improve your mental health by improving the bacteria in your gut Assist in weight loss My goal is to educate people honestly about the tools they can use to maintain their health and extend their lifespan.  A few words of caution should be added to complete this lesson. Please avoid using the cheapest vitamin or mineral supplement on Amazon unless your doctor has prescribed that specific brand.  Many supplement companies are not “Medical Grade, ” meaning they are not tested and approved by agencies that ensure you receive an effective supplement with your purchase.  Amazon has been found to sell vitamins packaged in reputable brand bottles that contain capsules with none of the expected supplements inside! BioBalance Health and BioBalance Skin provide tested medical-grade products, ensuring you take the right supplements for the desired effect.  We cannot expect the same quality from most supplements available online. Avoid taking a supplement just because someone else is using it; you might not need it, or worse, it could have negative effects. Trust experts to evaluate what you truly need and what you can do without. When you have a consultation with a BioBalance doctor or NP for your yearly visit, please bring a list of your medications and supplements to discuss with them. Please do not call our RN or email your list for their opinion. Evaluating your needs and aligning them with your supplements requires time.

Today, I'm joined by Christian Drapeau, a visionary pioneer in stem cell science and the mind behind the concept of endogenous stem cell mobilization. Christian's journey takes us from his days as a neurophysiology researcher, wrestling with questions about memory and consciousness, to a life-changing pivot into plant medicine—ultimately leading to groundbreaking work with stem cell–mobilizing botanicals like blue-green algae and sea buckthorn. In our conversation, Christian explains how the body's innate repair system slows down dramatically with age, and why many of the answers we're seeking in regenerative health might actually be within our own biology. We dive into the latest science on harnessing your body's own stem cells for healing—covering everything from muscle recovery and brain support to remarkable outcomes in heart failure, Parkinson's, and beyond.

A stem cell is a reserve cell that can become any cell you need. Stem cell research has shown positive results for people with fibrosis of the heart, liver fibrosis, and damaged brain cells. Stem cells can also be beneficial for the following: •Stimulating new cartilage in the joints •Autoimmune conditions •Rejuvenating skin cells •Cancer Here's how to keep your stem cell population at the highest level. 1. Fasting Prolonged fasting can boost stem cells naturally. If you can fast for 72 hours, you can boost stem cell production primarily for the gastrointestinal tract, brain, and immune system. 2. Exercise Intense exercise is the best way to boost stem cells for your muscles and brain. Exercise also stimulates BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which allows you to make new nerve and brain cells. 3. Deep sleep Sleep increases melatonin, which stimulates stem cell regeneration in your brain. Sleep also increases immune and cardiovascular stem cells. 4. Green tea Green tea contains the phytonutrient EGCG, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties and can increase stem cells for your brain and liver. 5. Omega-3 fatty acids Decreasing inflammation can boost stem cell production. Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and can increase stem cells for your bones, cartilage, brain, and skin. 6. Vitamin D Vitamin D and the sun help maintain blood stem cells that are involved with the immune system. Vitamin D increases new immune cells, prevents the exhaustion of stem cells, and can even increase longevity. 7. Cold therapy The cold stimulates brown fat stem cells, which support muscle repair and the mitochondria, decrease inflammation, and increase blood flow. Barriers to stem cell production include: •Inflammation •Stress •Lack of sleep •Junk food •Alcohol •Smoking •Pollution Our normal cells have at least 50 genes that help cope with dehydration. Cancer cells have none of these genes. This is why dry fasting may be destructive to cancer cells.
