A new trial in The New England Journal of Medicine found that exercise, whether done at home or with a physical therapist, helped reduce knee pain in adults with osteoarthritis and meniscal tears Supervised physical therapy (PT) offered a modest short-term advantage over home exercise. Much of PT's value may come from the attention and interaction with therapists rather than the specific therapeutic interventions Avoiding movement worsens knee arthritis over time by weakening muscles and stiffening joint structures, while regular exercise helps maintain mobility and reduce discomfort Surgery, including arthroscopy and meniscectomy, often fails to outperform exercise and carries long-term risks, making structured movement a better starting point Gentle, joint-friendly exercises like sit-to-stands, mini squats, leg raises, step-ups, cycling, and pool walking can help strengthen your knees and support long-term function

Today I welcome David Politi, Bruce Hersey, and Joanne Twombly on the podcast to talk about their new book, IFS-Informed EMDR: Creative and Collaborative Appraoches. We talk about why this book is needed, what it took to bring together more than 20 contributors, and why integrating these models can create more options, more flexibility, and more hope for clients.  We talk about: Bringing together 21 contributors and creating a true community project Why integration can help when clients get stuck in one modality The idea that there is a natural, underlying healing process beyond any single model  Coping skills, resourcing, and the diverging views on when and how to use them  Joanne's "fire drill" and using IFS to work with therapist countertransference  Why strong foundational training in both IFS and EMDR matters before integrating them  The belief that there is no "perfect model," and that relationship and Self Energy matter most  There's a lot of heart here, a lot of theory, and a lot of love for clients, the field, and each other. I'm excited for you to listen, and be sure to catch my extended interview with them over on Substack. About the Guests Bruce Hersey, LCSW is widely recognized for his work integrating EMDR and IFS.

Ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid) is a prescription bile acid medication used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones, prevent gallstones during rapid weight loss, and treat liver diseases like primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) by reducing toxic bile acids and cholesterol production. It works by changing bile composition, making it less saturated with cholesterol, and is available as oral medication. Of course, it is also the foundational medication for treatment of diagnosed Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP). Does this medication reduce adverse perinatal outcomes? In this episode, we will review a new study from the Green Journal, which will be out in February 2026, examining the recurrence risk for ICP using data from NY. In a patient with prior history of ICP, is there any guidance on monitoring of serum bile acids in the subsequent pregnancy before symptoms develop? We will explain. PLUS we will review the data on whether Ursodiol may hold promise in recurrence prevention or in reduction of adverse outcomes once the condition is diagnosed.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) now affects about 788 million adults worldwide, more than double the number in 1990, making it one of the most widespread and underrecognized health threats A recent systematic analysis published in The Lancet revealed that CKD is now the ninth leading cause of death globally, responsible for roughly 1.48 million deaths in 2023 alone High blood sugar, elevated blood pressure, and excess body weight are the leading drivers of CKD worldwide, together accounting for most of the disease's overall health burden Early-stage CKD affects over 13% of the adult population globally, yet most cases remain undiagnosed because symptoms often don't appear until the disease is advanced You can lower your risk of CKD by keeping your blood pressure and blood sugar in check, getting regular movement, staying hydrated, reducing processed foods, and supporting kidney function with balanced nutrition

Today's teens often try to tackle their homework while fielding nonstop notifications, listening to music, and participating in group chats. Plenty of parents wonder if this is a fight worth having, or if this is just – as some teens say – “how kids study now.” In this episode of Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens & Teens, clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan unpack one of the most common (and maddening) modern parenting dilemmas: Can teens really focus while multitasking with technology? They explore why self-interruptions are just as disruptive as outside ones, when tech can actually help, and how parents can address distractions without turning homework time into a nightly power struggle. This episode helps parents balance empathy with expectations, even when their teen is already “doing well” on paper.

In the early hours of March 13, 1964, twenty-eight-year-old Kitty Genovese returned home from work and parked her car in a lot near her Queens apartment, completely unaware that someone was following her. As she approached the door to her apartment building, Kitty's stalker ran up behind her and stabbed her in the back twice before being scared off by a neighbor who yelled from his window. Wounded, Kitty managed to get to the back of the building, but her attacker soon returned and brutally assaulted her. By the time an ambulance arrived an hour later, it was too late; Kitty Genovese died before she reached the hospital.Kitty's murder and the arrest of her killer, Winston Moseley, were quickly overshadowed by what were believed to be the facts of the attack, primarily the widely held belief that at least thirty-eight neighbors had seen the assault or heard Kitty's cries for help and did nothing. Despite there having been no evidence to support that belief, the narrative quickly became about urban apathy, with the death of a Queens bartender merely a footnote. The murder of Kitty Genovese is one of the most notorious violent crimes in modern American history—not because of the details or circumstances of the crime, but because of the legend and mythology that has built up around it.ReferencesCook, Kevin. 2014.

Sarah has a new guilty pleasure called Members Only, but she says it's more like Real Housewives of Mar-a-Lago. We hear why she is fascinated by these ladies (and their clothing). We debate the virtues of changing your last name when you get married, and how certificates and diplomas should be amendable if you change your name. We learn the benefits of pet ownership according to science, and whether it is better or worse for your happiness than having children. Susie wants you all to know it is certainly better than having a teenager. Sarah explains, at long last, what the appendix even does and why it's more important than most people realize. And Susie tells the story of her friend who had to have her appendix removed because she tried to beat Cher in a feat of strength. This is a true and hilarious story. And we find out about a device that measures your child's vitals, and can alert parents of an impending temper tantrum, and we hear whether it's effective in preventing or reducing their severity.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandyThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'recent' is defined as “having happened or started only a short time ago.” And yet, in the world of scientific publishing, it may be one of the most imprecise terms ever used.

Jesus calls his first disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Dr. Chris Croghan and Lars Olson explain how Matthew's version is unique compared to Mark's version and Luke's version as well as the importance of realizing when Jesus says, “Repent!” and “Follow me!” they're imperatives, they're not optional. Jesus is not waiting for you to answer the call. He's claiming you as His own. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls: Care of Souls - AddictionCOURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

In Autumn 2025 a paper in South Korea was published that excited many a vaccine sceptic online. The paper claimed that receiving a vaccination against Covid19 was linked to a 27% increase in cancer risk. However, when you dig into the data there is no evidence that the vaccine caused the cancer. We spoke to Professor Justin Fendos to explain why we cannot take this type of statistical analysis at face value.

As it states in Genesis 6:5, the intentions and “thoughts of [our] heart[s] [are] only evil continually.” Without Christ's forgiveness, we are sorely lost, thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought to think. As those who are redeemed, we cling to the promise of His mercy and go joyfully to Him in prayer with nothing but the certain knowledge of the forgiveness of sins. We receive this forgiveness on account of Christ, and it is on account of Him that we forgive others. Rev. Samuel Bobby, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Lincoln, NE, joins Rev.

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear smooth white noise for total focus. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears.

In this episode of Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking, we begin a new series in the book of Daniel by diving into chapter 1. Daniel and his friends are taken into Babylon, pressured to conform, and faced with a choice between compromise and faithfulness. Even in a foreign land and under intense pressure, they choose to honor God—and God honors their obedience. This chapter sets the tone for the entire book, reminding us how to stand firm in our faith while living in a culture that doesn't share our values.

A Woman Caught in Adultery - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 9 (John 7:53-8:30) by Shawn Ozbun

What does the phrase 'Victorian values' conjure today? Matthew Sweet and guests explore what we have inherited from that formative era in relation to political ideas, civic culture, aesthetics, and social and sexual mores. How does our view of the Victorian age match the historical reality? And can we move beyond stereotypes of repression and the stiff upper lip?AN Wilson, writer, biographer and historianGisela Stuart, Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston, crossbench peer in the House of LordsSarah Williams, Research Professor in the History of Christianity at Regent College in Vancouver, Canada and author of When Courage Calls: Josephine Butler and the Radical Pursuit of Justice for WomenFern Riddell, historian and writer.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the strategies and mindset shifts that elevate coaching businesses to elite status. The hosts explore the concept of the "upgrade effect," break down lessons from world-class entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Dana White, and share real-world stories of perseverance, resilience, and client impact. Whether you're looking to sign more clients, level up your identity, or create lasting change in yourself and your business owners, this episode delivers actionable insights and frameworks you can apply today. Key Topics Covered The Upgrade Effect for Lasting Change Karl Bryan introduces the "upgrade effect"—the idea that real growth starts with upgrading identity, not just chasing better outcomes. He shares a flywheel model connecting mindset, beliefs, values, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves, encouraging coaches to focus on root identity shifts for meaningful, sustainable success. Lessons from Elite Entrepreneurs: Elon Musk's Five-Step Problem-Solving Karl Bryan distills Elon Musk's approach: Define clear requirements Eliminate what's not needed Simplify and optimize Accelerate cycle time Automate last—not first He connects this framework to product development, coaching delivery, and ensuring you're solving the right problems before optimizing or automating. Characteristics of High-Performing Coaches Elite coaches love measurement, accountability, and competition. They seek feedback, practice to improve, take radical ownership, and avoid victim loops. The hosts emphasize focusing on building who you are, not just what you have. Perseverance and the Dana White UFC Story Karl Bryan shares the saga of Dana White and UFC: relentless setbacks, repeated rejection, ghosting from networks, and eventually a billion-dollar turnaround. The lesson? Real impact comes from what you refuse to give up on—even when success feels impossible. Creating Long-Term Coaching Value The conversation moves from chasing clients and revenue to designing businesses that are tight, profitable, and systematized. The hosts challenge coaches to build companies that could be sold tomorrow (but are so enjoyable, you wouldn't want to). Notable Quotes "The real upgrade is identity first and then outcomes. It'll make the outcomes last—for you and your clients." —Karl Bryan "If it's not measured, it's underperforming—the elite tend to be measurement geeks." —Karl Bryan "You'll be remembered for what you refuse to give up on." —Karl Bryan "True intelligence isn't about being a high performer. It's measured by getting what you want." —Karl Bryan, paraphrasing Naval Ravikant "The goal is to make you wildly profitable. That's why you hired me. Let's stay on the railroad tracks." —Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Upgrade Your Identity First: Pause on chasing outcomes—start by shifting the stories and beliefs you hold about yourself. Encourage clients to do the same for lasting transformation. Always Measure Performance: Use data, leaderboards, and progress tracking to motivate elite behavior—for yourself and clients. "What gets measured, gets improved." Focus On Solving the Right Problems: Don't spend energy optimizing broken systems. Clarify requirements, eliminate waste, and simplify before automating. Practice Relentless Perseverance: Refuse to quit when setbacks hit. Study stories like UFC's Dana White—most breakthroughs come after the biggest obstacles. Serve and Study Before Selling: Give genuine value up front. Study the greats rather than envy them; ask questions and listen more than you justify or explain. Design Businesses for Profit and Fun, Not Just Size: Help clients build lean, profitable companies they enjoy running—rather than chasing bloat or revenue for its own sake.

Awe has a way of fading when life gets crowded. Deadlines, responsibilities, and endless distractions can dull our awareness of the beauty that surrounds us every day. This devotional invites us to return to wonder—through the kind of attentive noticing that poetry captures so well. Poetry helps us slow down, see more deeply, and reconnect with meaning. And in a similar way, creation can become a doorway back into worship when our hearts feel tired or uninspired. The devotional points to the psalms as a reminder that awe is not a modern idea—it’s part of a long, sacred practice. David, a poet himself, looked at the world around him and responded with gratitude and praise. Psalm 65 celebrates God’s provision and the beauty of nature from morning to evening. It’s a picture of a life that recognizes God’s hand in what’s growing, blooming, changing, and sustaining. Today’s encouragement is practical and gentle: if you feel stuck, underwhelmed, or overworked, plan a pause in nature. Take a walk. Study a single detail—a leaf, a shell, a butterfly, a creek—and let your senses wake up again to the reality that God is present and creative. Creation becomes a reminder that the Lord is still at work in ways we can’t always see, weaving fragile miracles into ordinary moments. Making space to be awestruck can cleanse the spirit, lift the heart, and restore faith—because awe reminds us that God is bigger than our burdens and more tender than we sometimes remember. Main Takeaways Awe can fade when life feels busy, heavy, or distracting—but it can be rekindled. Creation points us to God’s power, provision, and gentleness. The psalms model a life of noticing and responding with gratitude and worship. A simple pause in nature can restore perspective and renew faith. Paying attention to small details can become a spiritual practice of seeing God’s handiwork. Today’s Bible Verse:The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. - Psalm 65:8 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me find time to seek you in nature… Send me a beautiful sight or sound that radiates your glory.” Listen to hear the full prayer or read the devotional at the links below.
