The US government has tried for years to recruit India for its new cold war on China, but Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs have backfired, encouraging New Delhi to improve its relations with Beijing, strengthening unity in BRICS. Political economist Ben Norton explains the complex history of the foreign relations of the US, India, China, and Russia.

With Cubic controlling an estimated 30–35% of hash power, the attacks combine technical pressure with “weaponized marketing” to boost their own coin. The community is responding by mobilizing CPU miners—especially on decentralized P2Pool—renting hash power during attack windows, and discussing medium-term fixes like fee adjustments, improved mining incentives, and greater decentralization. Broader regulatory headwinds, including high-profile legal cases against privacy tools, add to the urgency. Core consensus is to protect Monero's tail emission, reject proof-of-stake, and focus on practical, PoW-compatible defenses while reassuring users their funds remain safe. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!

Can you apply the Dahl technique to localised POSTERIOR wear? Spoiler alert: hell yeah! How can the Dahl Technique help when there is posterior wear and NO space to restore? How predictable is building up posterior teeth (rather than the usual worn anteriors)? In this episode, Jaz dives into the ‘Reverse Dahl Technique', a twist on the classic method typically used for localized anterior wear. Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal from Norway shares his insights, explaining how building up posterior teeth with composite can lead to occlusion magic!  If you're curious about this technique and want to see a real-life case study, this episode breaks it all down, with a special visual breakdown for those watching on YouTube or Protrusive Guidance. https://youtu.be/V8MTFfXmdlw Watch PDP235 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Jaz shares insights from Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld & Dr. Gabor Maté, emphasizing how modern children lose parental attachment too soon, turning to peers for guidance. This shift can lead to anxiety and emotional disconnection.  Takeaway: Kids thrive when their primary attachment remains with parents, not peers. Strengthening this bond is crucial for healthy development.  Key Takeaways The traditional Dahl principle focuses on creating occlusal space for anterior crowns. The reverse Dahl technique is a direct method for treating worn POSTERIOR teeth. Diet plays a significant role in tooth wear and dental health. Taking photographs of patients' teeth can help track wear over time. Understanding the etiology of tooth wear is crucial for effective treatment. Building up dental anatomy is essential for successful restorations. Occlusion should be viewed as a dynamic system rather than a static one.  Patients can adapt well to this treatment modality “Patients that wear their teeth, they don't usually have TMJ problems.” Highlights of this episode: 02:22  Protrusive Dental Pearl 04:50 Guest Introduction: Dr. Hans Kristian Ognedal 07:06 Understanding the Original Dahl Concept 09:31 Exploring Reverse Dahl Technique 13:30 Etiology and Patterns of Tooth Wear 23:46 Facial Patterns and Occlusal Traits Linked to Wear 24:44 Clinical Approach to Posterior Wear 30:26 Patient Comfort and Staging Treatments 32:11 Cuspal Planes and Guidance 34:21 Review Schedule and Observations 38:44 Longevity of Treatments 44:04 Contraindications and Patient Selection  45:24 Case Studies and Practical Tips 49:30 Night Guard Use 53:06 Final Thoughts and Education Opportunities If you want to learn more about Dahl Technique, be sure to listen/watch: Why do some Dentists find Dahl Distasteful? – PDP016 Dahl Part 2 (The Spicy Bit) – PDP017 Dahl Technique and ‘Maryland Bridges' – GF001 This episode is eligible for 1 CE credit via the quiz on Protrusive Guidance. This episode meets GDC Outcomes B and C. AGD Subject Code: 180 OCCLUSION (Occlusal functional concepts) Aim: To explore and understand the Reverse Dahl Technique, focusing on its application for patients with localized posterior tooth wear. This technique provides a solution when posterior teeth are worn, and there is insufficient space for proper restoration. Dentists will be able to - 1. Understand the principles behind the Reverse Dahl Technique and how it differs from the traditional Dahl Technique. 2. Identify the clinical scenarios where the Reverse Dahl Technique can be applied. 3. Comprehend the role of composite build-up in restoring posterior wear and its impact on occlusal reestablishment.

In the years following the pandemic, the U.S. saw a historic surge in small business creation—a promising sign of entrepreneurial spirit and economic resilience. Yet, if historical trends continue, nearly half of these new businesses will fail within five years. Small businesses in rural communities face even steeper challenges, from lack of access to capital to limited digital tools and networks. And yet, the promise of small businesses is immense: they are powerful engines for economic mobility, creating pathways for families and individuals to build lasting financial stability and opportunity.We invited Jonathan Fantini-Porter, Senior Vice President for the Americas at the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, to talk about how the Center is working to change the trajectory for small business owners through Mastercard Strive USA. This bold initiative aims to unlock $50 billion in lending capital, reach five million small businesses, and strengthen ecosystems that enable them to thrive. With more than $46 billion in capital already unlocked and millions of businesses reached, Mastercard Strive USA is proving that when small businesses grow, communities grow with them.Listen for insights on:Designing scalable, systems-level solutions that align with business strategyThe power of data, technology, and AI in advancing inclusive economic developmentAdvice for early-career professionals seeking to grow in social impact and corporate sustainability rolesResources + Links:Jonathan Fantini-Porter's LinkedInMastercard Center for Inclusive GrowthMastercard Strive USA (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Mastercard (01:23) - Jonathan's Background (03:05) - Moving to Mastercard (04:40) - Lessons from Parents (08:05) - Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth (09:54) - Setting the Goal (12:12) - Strive USA (14:52) - Rural America (17:23) - Small Businesses (19:19) - Integrating AI (22:22) - Advice (25:24) - Last Words (29:00) - Wrap Up

Bronwyn Holm speaks to Liz Gunn about her recent article on a specific pillar of Agenda 2030, which aims to take away all of our private property rights through local council bureaucratic overreach. Below is the full writeup by Bronwyn.The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 is a non-binding international agreement adopted by UN member states — including Australia — to guide disaster risk management globally. It focuses on reducing disaster risks (like bushfires, floods, pandemics, etc.) to protect lives, livelihoods, and property.What is the Sendai Framework?Adopted by the UN in March 2015 in Sendai, Japan.Aims to reduce disaster risk and loss of lives, homes, infrastructure, and the environment.Covers both natural hazards (like storms, droughts, fires) and human-made disasters (like industrial accidents or biological threats).It focuses on four key priorities:Understanding risk — using data, science, and communication to assess hazards.Strengthening governance — national and local policies, laws, and institutions.Investing in resilience — infrastructure, land use, emergency services.Improving preparedness — early warning systems, community plans, recovery frameworks.What Does It Mean for Your Home or Property Rights?Here's where it gets concerning — especially for property owners:Key implications:Local councils and governments may rezone or restrict your land (e.g. declare it flood/fire-prone) based on “disaster risk,” and claim it aligns with the Sendai Framework.Biosecurity or disaster powers might be extended using Sendai-aligned policies to justify actions like:Forced relocationCompulsory land acquisitionDestruction of property deemed “unsafe”Barriers to rebuilding after disaster unless you meet strict criteriaYou might lose autonomy over rebuilding or land use after a declared disaster or in a designated “risk zone.”MEANING you will lose your property.RENTING people means your owners have lost your property where you live.Important Note: The Sendai Framework itself is not law — but Australian governments use it to justify domestic policy changes, including:State disaster legislationEmergency management powersBiosecurity measuresHousing development limitsWhat Are Your Rights?You still own your home and land unless it is forcibly acquired under state or federal legislation.If affected by rezoning, forced acquisition, or development bans, you may have legal rights to:Challenge decisions in courtSeek compensationPush for community consultation (though this is often limited)You can object to planning changes through local councils (though not always successful). GYMPIE has passed theirs past recently- so every one needs to go to the council meetings and object.Joining private land trusts, Indigenous Corporations, or PMAs (Private Membership Associations) may help you reclaim autonomy in future structures.Earthfood: www.yourearthfood.comBan Dic Dan (Victoria Campaign): https://bandicdan.com

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingFOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS AUGUST 8! We discuss how this August 9 Aquarius Full Moon reflects the light of the Leo Sun back onto itself, thus exposing its shadow side: Excessive pride & arrogance. The Aquarius Moon—when it arrives at exactly 17-degrees of Sun-ruled Leo at 12:55 a.m. PT & 3:55 a.m. ET on August 9--then asks the Leo Sun to release any hubristic tendencies to act like a powerful but selfish & uncaring king.This lunation's square to Juno in Scorpio mirrors back to us the tension  of the current power struggle over whether America is still based on a partnership between its government--created originally by & for the people--or a monarchy under the rule of a tyrannical king. This lunation makes clear we're still under the recurrence of energies of the U.S. natal Sibly birth chart's Pluto return, begun in February 2022, that kicked off its original quest for independence. And that we've got a long way still to go, but that if we band together against such uncaring energies which disrespect our right to individual freedoms, only then can we save our nation from reverting to its original roots before its creation, that of an selfish & unstable monarch.This week's podcast recaps the Astro News You Can Use from the beginning of this month's lunar cycle on July 24--because only by looking back can we know how we've arrived at where we are today, which, in turn, helps us better plan our future. We look at the deeper meaning of the current Leo New Moon's monthly lunar cycle, which asked us to plant seeds that honor our individual, creative, solar selves on July 24. Next, we note how its opposition then to Pluto in Aquarius portended power struggles, & how it has manifested thus far. Especially as we waxed past the Sun/Mercury retrograde inferior conjunction of July 31, the first quarter monthly “crisis in action” waxing square of the Scorpio Moon to the Leo Sun, & the delusional square of Venus to Neptune & the dissatisfying one to Saturn August 1 & 2.We note the many announcements made since this Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction—starting with Donald Trump's firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor & Statistics on August 1. Such a move, on the heels of the Venus squares to Saturn & Neptune, reeked of a king who chose to kill the messenger rather than pay attention to the actual message, without a care for his partners.This, in turn, leads to the inability of Americans to trust the data coming out of its formerly trustworthy government agencies in charge of such economic statistical analyses. More examples in this podcast!And that leads us to other August 1 announcements such as the one from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that it will shut down next year. Then there's the news that convicted sex trafficker & pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a “Club Fed” prison after her recent meetings with the U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal attorney in 2024 when Trump was convicted in the NY Stormy Daniels hush money case. What's becoming clear now also since Uranus entered Gemini on July 7 is the public's change in perspective. That means a change in opinion, as the Trump/Epstein scandal becomes the monster that just won't die. Meanwhile those formerly supportive of Trump begin to turn against him as they hope against hope that he will adjust his grip & “release the Epstein files” as Venus quincunxed Pluto August 1 & 2, too.That this is symbolic of the energy of tomorrow's Aquarius Full Moon square Juno in Scorpio, as Mars opposes both Saturn & Neptune August 8/9 & creates a huge amount of frustration & a sense of impotence a la “but what can I do about any of this?”It's clear that under the SA/NE in Aries energies that boundaries continue to erode. From those between the federal government & the people it's supposed to represent; the boundaries between federal & state governance; & those between our military—designed to fight an external enemy—who invade our local borders & our city's streets. This becomes even more obvious since the FBI has now been tasked by King Trump to hunt down Texas democratic state legislators who refuse to vote for gerrymandered maps that further curtail the right of Black & brown people to equal representation when it comes to voting. Never mind if it's legal to use federal FBI law enforcement resources this way…The ultimate message of this Aquarius Full Moon, however, is that when we stand together as a group & face the bully, there's ultimately more power in numbers than in that of a weak, narcissistic wannabe king. Together we stand, divided we fall would be this month's full Moon message--& that we cannot succeed if we do not even try.Hence, as America government becomes increasingly autocratic, it becomes ever more evident that the only way to stop this is to band together to fight the authoritarian powers that be. Whether that ultimately means masses of people protesting together to get their message across, or worse, is yet to be determined. What's clear is that now is not the time to back down.However, it's fine to take a break, especially from social media—much of which under Uranus in Gemini is filled with propagandist BS, even from the left--& withdraw, for a little while. Strengthening our critical thinking skills is what's it's all about over the next seven years as Uranus in Mercury provides the ability for sudden revelatory insights as information becomes more a tool of distortion than one of fact. In the short term, as Mercury stations direct in Leo on August 11, we have the ability to regroup, observe & begin to pay attention. As more people become increasingly aware of what's going on around them, more will join the fight. And what's most worth paying attention to, according to this Aquarius Full Moon is that none of us is alone in this obvious astrological recurrence of the quest for American independence from tyranny IF we all stick together.Join us starting August 8 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to hear more astrological details that further illustrate how Americans are being disenfranchised around the world as former trade partners change their perspectives of what America truly is: A friend or an enemy given the current trade wars. And what the heavens are advising us to do. Plus, so much more…See you then! Namaste…

In this episode, we explore what makes a pet care business stronger over time. Using the example of Corten steel—designed to strengthen through exposure—we discuss how intentional systems and experiences build long-term resilience. We share six key areas to focus on, including SOPs, hiring, marketing, education, feedback, and boundaries. Each one is like a layer of protection that helps your business weather challenges and grow stronger. It's an honest look at what it takes to build something that lasts. Main topics: SOPs as foundational strength Hiring for long-term alignment Patient, persistent marketing Continuous education and training Feedback loops and business boundaries Main takeaway: Your business doesn't need to be perfect—it needs to be built to get stronger with every challenge. Every tough season, every uncomfortable piece of feedback, every slow marketing return—it all has the potential to make your business better. The key is embracing the process and building systems that grow stronger with time, not weaker. We don't have to shine to be successful; we have to last. And that means showing up, learning, refining, and weathering the storms on purpose. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Creation is not a side issue but the foundation of a coherent worldview. Without understanding that God created an orderly universe with purpose, we drift in an ocean of ambiguity. When we detach ourselves from the created order, we become lost in our thinking about human identity, morality, and meaning. What does it mean to be human? How do we address what's gone wrong in the world? Pastor Gino Geraci explores these profound questions, challenging the dominant “moralistic therapeutic deism” of our time. His personal testimony reveals how the possibility that God could love someone like him changed everything. Join Geraci for this thought-provoking conversation about creation, truth, and the gospel.

A trade deal reached on Sunday between the United States and the European Union has sparked controversy among European officials, businesspeople and analysts — despite both sides hailing it as a step toward restoring "trade balance "and promoting fairer commerce.美国和欧盟周日达成的一项贸易协议在欧洲官员、商界人士和分析人士中引发了争议，尽管双方都称赞这是恢复“贸易平衡”和促进更公平商业的一步。At the heart of the debate is the deal's asymmetry: The US will lower tariffs on EU goods to 15 percent, while the EU has agreed not to impose additional tariffs on US products.争论的核心是该协议的不对称性：美国将把欧盟商品的关税降至15%，而欧盟已同意不对美国产品征收额外关税。French Minister for European Affairs Benjamin Haddad described the agreement as "unbalanced", though he acknowledged it would "bring temporary stability to economic actors threatened by the escalation of American tariffs".法国欧洲事务部长本杰明·哈达德称该协议“不平衡”，尽管他承认该协议将“为受美国关税升级威胁的经济行为体带来暂时的稳定”。German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, "We have thus managed to preserve our fundamental interests, even if I would have wished for more relief in trans-Atlantic trade."德国总理弗里德里希·默茨说：“因此，我们设法维护了我们的根本利益，即使我希望在跨大西洋贸易中得到更多缓解。”Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the agreement "ensures stability" and that the 15 percent tariff level is "sustainable", especially if it is not added to previous duties.意大利总理Giorgia Meloni表示，该协议“确保了稳定”，15%的关税水平是“可持续的”，特别是如果不将其添加到以前的关税中。Olivier Blanchard, a Robert Solow professor of economics emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, called the agreement "completely unequal", saying the "asymmetric 15 percent tariffs are an EU defeat".麻省理工学院Robert Solow经济学荣誉退休教授Olivier Blanchard称该协议“完全不平等”，称“不对称的15%关税是欧盟的失败”。"When the law of the jungle prevails, the weak have little choice than to accept their fate," he wrote on X. "But Europe could potentially have been strong, either alone or in a coalition with others. It would have had to be ready for stormy waters. But it would have gotten a better deal in the end and sent a strong message to the world. An opportunity lost."“当丛林法则盛行时，弱者别无选择，只能接受自己的命运，”他在X上写道。“但欧洲本可以强大，无论是单独还是与其他国家结盟。它必须为风暴做好准备。但最终它会得到更好的协议，并向世界发出强烈的信息。失去了一个机会。”Bernard Dewit, chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, voiced concern over the 15 percent baseline US tariff on EU goods, "particularly in light of Europe's broader economic and trade interests".比利时中国商会主席Bernard Dewit对美国对欧盟商品征收15%的基准关税表示担忧，“特别是考虑到欧洲更广泛的经济和贸易利益”。"Such a move risks escalating trans-Atlantic trade tensions and could undermine the stability and predictability that European businesses rely on," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》：“此举有可能加剧跨大西洋贸易紧张局势，并可能破坏欧洲企业所依赖的稳定性和可预测性。”。"European exporters, including many in Belgium, operate in highly integrated global supply chains. The imposition of a blanket tariff will inevitably increase costs, reduce competitiveness and possibly prompt retaliatory measures — ultimately hurting consumers and small- and medium-sized enterprises on both sides of the Atlantic."“欧洲出口商，包括比利时的许多出口商，在高度一体化的全球供应链中运营。征收一揽子关税将不可避免地增加成本，降低竞争力，并可能引发报复措施，最终损害大西洋两岸的消费者和中小型企业。”Dewit urged Europe to further diversify its trade relationships. "Strengthening ties with dynamic markets such as China, ASEAN, and Africa becomes increasingly strategic," he said.德维特敦促欧洲进一步实现贸易关系多样化。他说：“加强与中国、东盟和非洲等充满活力的市场的联系变得越来越具有战略意义。”。Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, described the US-EU deal as "lopsided".欧洲议会国际贸易委员会主席贝恩德·兰格将美欧协议描述为“一边倒”。"My first assessment: not satisfactory," he wrote on X. "Concessions have clearly been made that are difficult to accept. Deal with significant imbalance."“我的第一个评估是：不令人满意，”他在X上写道。“显然已经做出了难以接受的让步。处理严重的不平衡。”According to the published details of the agreement, the EU has pledged to purchase $750 billion worth of US energy and commit an additional $600 billion in US investments.根据已公布的协议细节，欧盟已承诺购买价值7500亿美元的美国能源，并承诺向美国额外投资6000亿美元。The scale of the deal has left many European analysts stunned. Qin Yan, a principal analyst at ClearBlue Markets in Norway, told China Daily that every energy market expert she is talking with is busy calculating how much US energy the EU would need to buy to reach such a harsh number.这笔交易的规模让许多欧洲分析人士感到震惊。挪威ClearBlue Markets的首席分析师秦燕告诉《中国日报》，与她交谈的每一位能源市场专家都在忙着计算欧盟需要购买多少美国能源才能达到如此苛刻的数字。Clyde Russell, an Asia commodities and energy columnist for Reuters, noted: "Putting together the value of EU imports of US crude oil, LNG and metallurgical coal gives a 2024 total of around $64.55 billion.路透社亚洲大宗商品和能源专栏作家Clyde Russell指出：“将欧盟进口的美国原油、液化天然气和冶金煤的价值加起来，2024年的总价值约为645.5亿美元。"This is about 26 percent of the $250 billion the EU is supposed to spend on US energy a year under the framework agreement."“这大约是欧盟根据框架协议每年应在美国能源上花费2500亿美元的26%。”Qin likened the deal to "visiting a small cafe around the street corner and booking a banquet big enough for 1,000 tables of guests".秦将这笔交易比作“参观街角的一家小咖啡馆，预订一场足以容纳1000桌客人的宴会”。"My concern is that the commitment to US energy purchases should not undermine the EU's climate goal," she said.她说：“我担心的是，美国购买能源的承诺不应破坏欧盟的气候目标。”。lopsidedn.不平衡，/ˌlɒpˈsaɪdɪd/baselinen.基础/ˈbeɪslaɪn/

Most leaders travel alone for work. But how many take a real solo vacation—just for themselves, not for business? I recently took my first-ever solo trip through Peru and Ecuador, and it changed me. I reconnected with myself. I reflected deeply. I came back more grounded, clear, and confident as a leader. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I share why every leader should consider a solo vacation, how it strengthens your leadership, and how you can plan a meaningful trip that resets your mindset and helps you lead with intention. Why Solo Time Is Essential for Modern Leaders 1. Clarity requires solitude 2. Breaking routine unlocks creativity 3. Being alone builds self-leadership 4. Presence deepens connection How to Take a Transformational Solo Vacation • Choose a place that stretches you—culturally, spiritually, physically • Unplug completely—no work emails, no “just checking in” • Journal and reflect—capture what you learn • Say yes to connection—talk to strangers, share stories • Pay attention to your thoughts—notice what comes up in the stillness Key Takeaways 1. Solo time is a powerful leadership tool 2. Travel breaks patterns and expands your thinking 3. Self-trust comes from being alone and handling challenges 4. Presence builds deeper, more authentic relationships 5. Insight and clarity are born in stillness, not hustle Mic Drop Moment “You cannot lead others from a place of internal chaos or disconnection. But when you take time to be alone, you find clarity, and that transforms everything.” Call to Action Book the trip. Go somewhere alone. Reflect. Get uncomfortable.

The focal point of today's discussion revolves around the paramount significance of prayer and intercession in the context of spiritual warfare. We delve into the notion that prayer serves not merely as a communication tool with the Divine but as a vital mechanism for activating and empowering the armor of God, which we have systematically explored in previous episodes. Throughout our discourse, we emphasize that prayer should be approached with intentionality and earnestness, recognizing its capacity to transform our spiritual lives and fortify our resilience against adversities. Furthermore, we engage with the concept of intercessory prayer, elucidating its role in supporting others and fostering a community of faith that thrives on mutual upliftment. As we navigate the complexities of prayer, we invite our audience to reflect on their own practices and consider actionable steps to enhance their spiritual discipline in the week to come.Takeaways: The significance of prayer as a fundamental communication tool with God is paramount in spiritual warfare. Consistent prayer enhances our ability to face challenges and strengthens our faith during trials. Intercession, or praying for others, is an essential component of a vibrant prayer life and spiritual support. Engaging in communal prayer with like-minded individuals fosters a deeper connection and enhances spiritual growth. Effective prayer encompasses adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication, and intercession, each serving a unique purpose. Establishing a structured prayer routine can significantly improve the consistency and effectiveness of one's prayer life.

    Army Chaplain Major Paul Belcher joins us to share his groundbreaking insights into the intersection of trauma and spirituality within military contexts. Through his unique journey and experiences, Major Belcher developed the Traumatic Impact Spiritual Assessment Tool, a much-needed approach to help service members navigate the spiritual repercussions of trauma. His tool aims to bridge the gaps left by existing methods and emphasizes the significance of spirituality beyond organized religion, offering a fresh perspective on maintaining combat readiness and preventing further harm.      We explore the metaphorical rebar and heartwood as symbols of the spiritual and emotional strength that service members need to endure life's challenges. Chaplain Belcher sheds light on the critical role of spiritual foundations, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and how they contribute to personal and unit resilience. He shares practical advice for military commanders and medical professionals on preparing themselves and their units for the uncertainties of military life. Through personal stories and experiences, we uncover how maintaining one's core beliefs and unique identity can fortify resilience amid adversity.      Our conversation also addresses the profound impact of personal values like compassion, particularly in medical crises where chaplains play an essential role. Chaplain Belcher illustrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating spiritual care with medical intervention, to offer holistic support to those in need. His firsthand experiences highlight the invaluable role chaplains play, from supporting families in high-stress situations to helping individuals rediscover hope and purpose.

In this episode, Dr. Kim opens up about how workplace relationships, especially dealing with negative and/or flirtatious coworkers, can impact marriage. He encourages couples to recognize these concerns, lean on biblical truth, and take intentional, practical steps to protect and strengthen their relationship. This episode reminds us of the power of open communication, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the hope we can find in trusting God through every season of marriage.   Episode Highlights: Concern about coworkers is a valid issue in marriages. Bad company can corrupt good character, as warned in scripture. It's essential to communicate concerns with love and honesty. Praying for wisdom and protection is crucial in navigating these situations. Strengthening the marriage bond is the best defense against outside influences. Being a positive influence in your spouse's life can counteract negative coworkers. Setting healthy boundaries for workplace relationships is necessary. Knowing when to step back and trust God is important. Focus on building a positive atmosphere at home. Each person is responsible for their own choices before God. 24/7 365 Foreplay   Quotes from this Episode: Walk with the wise and become wise. The company we keep matters. Addressing the situation requires discernment not knee jerk reactions. Even in marriage, where two become one flesh, each person remains an individual. A spouse is to be respected. Communicate with love and honesty. Sometimes the most effective communication comes through questions rather than direct confrontation. The most important thing Nancy and I have done in our marriage is prayer daily. Be that uplifting thing that your spouse needs.  Know when to step back.  Anytime we are in a situation where we could compromise our relationship with our spouse we have to run.  Workplace relationships are significant but they aren't all powerful.   Couple's Conversation Guide: Are there relationships at your workplace that are taking time or emotional energy away from your connection with your spouse? How can you set healthy boundaries? Do any coworkers influence your attitudes or behaviors in ways that conflict with the values you and your spouse have established for your marriage and home? How can your faith guide you in responding to difficult or questionable coworkers while maintaining peace and integrity? What steps can you take to protect your marriage from workplace stress and distractions, ensuring your spouse remains your first priority?   Mentioned in this Episode: Find Dr. Kim on Instagram If you strengthen your marriage at home, the affects of work will lessen!

Hey Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with physician and researcher Dr. William Makis to explore the deeper patterns emerging in our health! They discuss topics like why so many people are experiencing unexplained fatigue, chronic inflammation, and even earlier cancer diagnoses (what?!). Dr. Makis shares why our immune systems are more overwhelmed than ever, and how environmental stressors are taxing the body's natural ability to heal. He breaks down what's changed in the past few years, what warning signs to look for, and how to support your body so it stays resilient and strong. You'll learn how to recognize the early red flags of immune dysfunction, what lifestyle choices could be feeding inflammation, and what it really takes to create an internal environment where your body can protect and restore itself. This is your sign to take care of your wellness from the inside out! Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Chronic inflammation is a warning sign. Many cancers and autoimmune conditions begin with low-level inflammation that goes unchecked, tuning into early symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or skin changes can help you take action before bigger issues arise. Your immune system is your greatest defense. When supported properly (through sleep, light, nutrition, and detox), your immune system can identify and destroy abnormal cells before they become disease. The “new normal” isn't normal. More people are experiencing mystery symptoms, early cancer, and immune dysfunction, Dr. Makis will help you understand why it's happening and how to reverse course. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wmakismd/?hl=en  Website: https://www.twc.health/  For anyone wanting more information on how Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole works, or need dosing protocols, connect with Dr. Makis makisw79@yahoo.com Or visit his Substack makismd.substack.com ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

“It's never too late for your second spring.” - Angi McClure Have you ever felt like you were losing your physical independence because of your fibromyalgia? Maybe you struggle with tasks like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or getting up off the floor? For many of us living with fibromyalgia, even simple daily tasks can feel draining. Strengthening your resilience is the key to adapting through life's seasons. The good news is that, no matter what age or stage of your life you're in, there are gentle, practical, and sustainable ways to reconnect with your body, build resilience, and enhance your physical independence. Today, Tami is joined by Angi McClure, a neuro-based movement therapist and founder of Bamboo Bodies. Angi specializes in age science and supports her clients through functional Chinese medicine, nutrition, and seasonal lifestyle habits. While Angi's work focuses on age training and longevity, the principles apply perfectly to those of us with fibromyalgia. In this conversation, Tami and Angi discuss how Angi became interested in exploring age training and her personal and professional journey into supporting older adults, the parallels between aging and living with fibromyalgia, adapting to life's changes, why we should redefine physical independence as an athletic pursuit, recognizing the resilience of those with chronic illness and pain, why “training like an athlete” is more about mental and emotional resilience than physical exercise, the meaning of neurological resilience, why community is a crucial element in reconnecting with your body, energy management and The Spoon Theory, seasons of life and how they relate to aging and fibromyalgia, insights from Chinese medicine on life's seasons and their impact on health, the “second spring” and why it's never too late to adapt, how Angi bridges neuroscience and Chinese medicine, why pain is a brain output, how mindset and working on yourself builds resilience, the “threat bucket” analogy for stress and pain, practical ways to lighten your load, practical tools you can start using to support resilience, how to find joy in movement, the need for a personalized approach to movement, the benefits of qigong and playful movement, and more.     Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.
