Who wants to feel really good and sexy and strong and powerful and happy again after infidelity or betrayal. Who here was totally rocked by their partner's infidelity? And not only by their partner's infidelity and all that meant, but who here also feels old, feels ugly, feels like aging is really hard? Who here is going through perimenopause or menopause and is struggling to put it all together again because suddenly their body is changing? Yes. All of the above. And that's what this show is about. We are going to address all of that. We are going to address all the ways we feel bad. And let me just be clear. Infidelity is a huge emotional impact, but I also wanna talk about the it's not really the physical impact, but the psychological impact, which is different than emotional. Lora Cheadle [00:01:39]: The psychological impact of not feeling pretty enough or sexy enough or hot enough, it's really devastating. And I talk to all of you during our one on one sessions or in the Facebook group, and everybody talks about comparing themselves to the affair partner. And either way, if the affair partner is younger, thinner, hotter, it's devastating. And if the affair partner is older, heavier, frumpy, or uglier, it's devastating. It's devastating no matter what because of that psychological impact of it disrupts how we see ourselves and our belief of if we're the pretty one or we're the chosen one or we're the loved one. And it impacts our confidence in ways that are not superficial. And I think that's what I really wanna communicate to you in this show is wanting to feel pretty is not superficial. Wanting to age well is not superficial. Lora Cheadle [00:02:44]: Wanting to feel sexy is not trivial. We all want that. We want to look good. It feels good when you look in the mirror and you like what you see. It feels good when somebody smiles at you and says, hey, great shoes. I love that hair color. It feels good. That's this human connection thing, and that's something that we all want. Lora Cheadle [00:03:09]: And quite frankly, that's something that we deserve too. And that's what I really want to lean into in this episode. I wanna talk about health. I wanna talk about hormones. Perimenopause, menopause, the trauma that infidelity puts you through. I'll share my story a little bit later in the show, but it put this trauma put me into early menopause. Not sleeping messes with your hormones. Not being able to eat messes with your hormones. Lora Cheadle [00:03:40]: When your hormones are out of whack, your thinking is out of whack. You feel crazy because it's normal to feel crazy, but also you feel crazy probably because your body is not running in optimal condition because you are incredibly stressed. And when the body is in the state of incredible stress, it's not being vibrant and healthy and joyful. So many of you that I talk to talk about feeling old and ugly. And I know that after this happened, I was like, there's trauma in my face. I didn't used to have this droopy face. And now I have jowls, and now I have wrinkles and bags around my eyes because it was like I cried too much for too long, and then the the puffiness never went away. And then I was aging, and I was getting belly fat, and I was getting all these things that I never had before. Lora Cheadle [00:04:37]: And it just exacerbated everything that I was already feeling, and it just made everything so much worse. So that's what we're gonna talk about today. I wanna get really honest. I want you to reach out to me. I want you to share your story. I want you to just be like, amen, sister. You hear me? But I really want to talk about how it feels to be a woman, how it feels to be an aging woman, how it feels to be a menopausal woman, how it feels to be a betrayed woman, and how it feels to have your identity ruptured as well. My identity, I was always one of the pretty girls. Lora Cheadle [00:05:25]: That was my identity. I was always one of the chosen ones. I owned that as a piece of my identity for good or for bad, for right or for wrong. So when I found out that my husband cheated, it rocked my identity. Wait. I'm not one of the pretty girls? Wait. I wasn't one of the ones who was chosen? He chose somebody else and not me. What does that say about me? If if I'm not the vivacious one, if I'm not that then who am I? Because how could my own love, my own partner not choose me? And that's a lot. Lora Cheadle [00:06:08]: And I know that who ever you feel like you were as a piece of your identity, your partner's betrayal ruptured that as well. And for that, I am so sorry. I am so sorry. But I also want to say that this truly is a great opportunity to rebuild, to rebuild that identity. Yes. Maybe you can go back to the being the chosen one, being the pretty one, being the smart one, being whatever it is. But the way you're rebuilding yourself is with such authenticity because it's not reliant upon external validation. You're rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Lora Cheadle [00:06:48]: You are owning and claiming yourself and your identity. And if you wanna switch, if you wanna suddenly because become the wise one, you can do that too. But, again, you're rebuilding yourself from the inside out. As part of this I mean, this episode is gonna be powerful, but we can't change the world in fifty minutes, unfortunately. But as part of that, I have created a summer program for all of us. It's just a ninety day program. It's gonna be a lot of group work. I'm lovingly calling it, like, hot girl summer just because that's the silly, fun, fresh vibe I want us to move into. Lora Cheadle [00:07:30]: You know, at first, I thought about, like, I'm gonna do betrayal recovery, and I thought, no. There's such heaviness to that. This is hot girl summer, man. We're getting our groove back. I know we're not girls. I know we're women, but it's this is hot girl summer. We're gonna play. We're gonna put on our self tanner. Lora Cheadle [00:07:49]: We're gonna get a new haircut maybe. We're gonna find an outfit that feels good. We're gonna go socialize and connect and learn new things. We're gonna get into our bodies. We're gonna dance. Oh, are we gonna dance this summer, ladies? We are gonna dance, dance, dance. We're gonna take care of our spirits. We are going to heal the collective feminine. Lora Cheadle [00:08:15]: We are going to create such a strong, powerful, sacred sisterhood that whatever happens in your future, in your daughter's future, in your aunt's future, in your mother's future, in your grandmother's future, in your sister's futures cannot be denied. Because the strength of our shared bond, the strength of our joy, the strength of our power in reclaiming our joy, our fun, our vivacious energy is just gonna send ripples to the world, and that is my intention. I'm working on the details now, but it's ninety days, And you'll be able to sign up at sparkleallseason.com. So you can reach out to me if you have any questions, but otherwise, sparkleallseason.com, and we are gonna get our groove back. We're gonna be hot, sexy, fun, loving girls this summer, and we're gonna slip right into our joy. Now I am not talking about bypassing. I am talking about doing the work. I'm talking about staying connected to our heart, staying presence. Lora Cheadle [00:09:23]: If we need to grieve, grieve. But I'm also talking about allowing ourselves to come back online, taking care of ourselves, nurturing our wellness, our health, figuring it out so we can figure it out. And isn't that funny? In order to figure out this whole trauma infidelity, in order to figure it out, we have to figure ourselves out. Because the truth of the matter is we need to feel optimal. We need to be in an optimal state in order to have the resources, the capacity to do the deep soul work to heal the wound of betrayal. And that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna hold the work on both sides, the high joy and the deep pain, and we're gonna go there. We're gonna go there on both ends, merge them in the center, which is the heart, with each other, and bring it forward, birth it into the world. Lora Cheadle [00:10:31]: So enough about that sparkleallseason.com. You're going to love it, and let's get on with the show for the day. Okay. I'm gonna start by telling you a little story. When I found out about my husband's betrayal, life, I thought, was really on the precipice of being really good. My youngest was about to go away to college. I was dancing some burlesque. I was feeling so good. Lora Cheadle [00:11:04]: It was like, I finally have time to get in shape, to cook meals that I want to cook, to sleep in and not always have to be rushed, you know, to get my kids up and worry about things like that. I can start traveling with my husband. I'm gonna do all these wonderful things. I'm gonna start taking care of me. And then I found out. And this trauma was so severe that it sent me into early menopause, which I didn't really know was a thing. But here's how that happened. Trauma puts us in a state of fight, flight, or freeze. Lora Cheadle [00:11:51]: It hijacks our nervous system. We start pumping out cortisol. I was not feeling good, as I'm sure you know. It does not feel good at all. I couldn't sleep. I absolutely could not sleep to save my life. So many of you tell me the exact same thing too. Like, you just can't sleep, which also wreaks havoc on your body, on your hormones. Lora Cheadle [00:12:21]: Eating was awful. I I couldn't digest. I wasn't hungry, but then I would just start eating, and nothing tasted good. I got no joy out of the food. And sometimes I would just overeat because I was sitting there eating, and then sometimes I would forget to eat. And then sometimes I would try to eat, and I was nauseous. And I couldn't eat. I did not drink my water. Lora Cheadle [00:12:52]: During the struggle with my husband for his phone, when I found out all the texts and everything, my toe broke. So I couldn't even walk. So the normal working out and dancing that I had done, I could no longer do. And the combination of all of that stress, all of that trauma, no sleeping, inadequate nutrition, no working out, all of that, sent my body into early menopause. I mean, my periods just stopped. And And it was one of those things that sometimes you don't know that you don't know. It just stopped. And I wasn't really too much aware of it. Lora Cheadle [00:13:40]: It just stopped and other things I was thinking about. So it's not like I went to my doctor. I'm not sure if my doctor would have said or known what to do anyway, and I just moved on. But here's the thing. When you're going through perimenopause, your emotion your emotions, your hormones are up and down, and your emotions are up and down, and the the level of brain fog is up and down. And it's normal. Perimenopause is a roller coaster ride, and there's no medical test for perimenopause because the hormones peak and valley. So it would depend on where you test. Lora Cheadle [00:14:26]: You would need to, like, test every single day to find out where your hormones are. Oh, estrogen's up today. Oh, progesterone's down today. Oh, there's no test for perimenopause. The test for perimenopause is do you feel a little bit scattered and chaotic and out of control? Are your periods sporadic? That is something that happens to some people, but not everybody. So how much of what you're feeling is anxiety due to the affair, and how much of what you're feeling might be perimenopause or menopause? How much of it is your hormones? And it's really hard to differentiate and to tell. And to some degree, it doesn't really matter. You just know it feels awful, but to some degree, it does matter because you can be supported for your hormones. Lora Cheadle [00:15:20]: And if you're going to a psychiatrist and you're having problems with your mental health and sleeping, they might be giving you medication and rightfully so because if you're having some psychotic breaks if you can't sleep, having medication, having that support in the short term is definitely helpful. But what about hormonal support too? What would it be like also to maybe have an estrogen patch or to take progesterone? What might it be like to have your hormones balanced? Last week, I went to Chalene Johnson's camp b more, and it was amazing. It was a ton of fun. It was in Vegas. And the founder of MidiHealth was there as well as many other physicians who specialize in menopause. And it was shocking to me how simple and how accessible hormone replacement is and what a big impact it can have on the way we feel. I had heard, like, probably so many of us, that, oh, you gotta be careful with hormones. Oh, you gotta be careful. Lora Cheadle [00:16:31]: It can cause cancer. In fact, a new study came out two weeks ago that kind of debunks a lot of the old research that was done because the old research was done on, like, synthetic estrogens, not some of these bioidenticals. It was done some were done on rats, not even on women. And there are so many different factors that were not taken into consideration. So I've kinda had this belief, like, oh, you really have to be careful with that. And it doesn't really matter. Why would we wanna extend our childbearing years anyway? Well, here's what I learned at that conference from many of these physicians. Estrogen in our body helps with cognitive function. Lora Cheadle [00:17:18]: It helps with our cardiovascular health. It helps with bone density. It helps us age well, and it helps us think clearly. And most importantly, it makes us feel good. It can get rid of that brain fog. It can make us feel more alert. Progesterone. I started taking progesterone. Lora Cheadle [00:17:44]: It makes you sleep at night. It is better than I've ever had with anything with magnesium or melatonin or any of those other sleep aids. Progesterone is amazing. My body was craving progesterone. I didn't even realize that I had some brain fog going on. I didn't realize some of the, you know, the achiness, the heaviness, the weight gain, things like that. They were hormonal. When I feel better in my body, I feel more more like I can take on the world. Lora Cheadle [00:18:21]: When you feel better in your body, you are going to feel more confident, more secure. When you are able to think clearly, when you were able to sleep at night, you're gonna have far more capacity. Now I'm not saying everybody has to do hormone replacement. There are contraindications, and if you just don't want to, you just don't have to. But what I am saying is there's a lot of really good education out there, who I started using was MidiHealth, m I d I, Health. They are they're like online physicians. It's a real physician. They're covered by insurance, but they're all specialists in women's health. Lora Cheadle [00:19:08]: They're all specialists in hormone replacement. They're all specialists in everything that's going on. So even if you have no interest in hormone replacement, see a women's health physician, see a women's health specialist so you can start taking care of your body, sleeping better, regulating yourself better, and feeling better. So that was the first thing that I learned, and that was the first thing that I wanted to talk to you about because I wish somebody would have talked to me about that. I wish somebody would have asked. You know? Did you know that trauma can kick you into early menopause? No. I did not know that. Did you know that being kicked into early menopause can have devastating effects on long term bone density? No. Lora Cheadle [00:19:57]: I didn't know that. Did you know there's cardiovascular implications for menopause? No. I didn't know that. So these are some of the things. There's an impact. It's not just that you don't have your period anymore. It impacts everything. And for me, I'm definitely interested in cognitive decline. Lora Cheadle [00:20:19]: I don't want cognitive decline. I'm interested in bone health. I'm interested in longevity. I'm interested in feeling and looking good for as long as I can. Yes. It's part of the aging gracefully, but it's also aging healthily. And I don't want to be the frail old lady who can't get out of bed. So what I wanna move into next, because I feel like hormones are kind of that basic foundation, but that next level up, that next layer is the health, the nutrition. Lora Cheadle [00:20:55]: And I don't know about you, but nutrition was really hard during the betrayal recovery process. I mean, early on, you can't eat. The things that sound good are not necessarily healthy. And I just kind of lost all of that. Adequate nutrition is essential for our brains, for our bodies. And I'm not gonna spend a ton of time about talking about this because we all know it. We all know it. But what I am gonna talk about is that accountability and the reminders of how do I nurture and nourish myself. Lora Cheadle [00:21:37]: I'm not just cramming in food to get to my next meeting. This is feeding my soul. This is feeling my body. This is fueling what I'm going to look and feel like in ten years, in twenty years. And what I do now has a direct impact on how I will feel then. And that's this part of my hot girl summer is I want us to remember that and to start developing some habits around drinking healthy waters, taking if you wanna take your vitamins, your minerals. I have some thoughts on different supplements. I have some thoughts on different vitamins, but, obviously, you do you because I don't know your medical history. Lora Cheadle [00:22:27]: But things like taking a really good multivitamin, taking vitamin d. Vitamin d is something that's essential, and so many of us are deficient in vitamin d. And when you are low in vitamin d, it can lead to depression. Well, again, hello. Going through infidelity is very depressing. I need all the support. I need all the help that I can get. So, yeah, let me supplement my vitamin d. Lora Cheadle [00:22:57]: If it's gonna help, it needs help. It can help. The other thing is b vitamins. We burn a lot of b vitamins when we're under stress. Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn. Supplementing with your b vitamins can help give you that energy to help keep you online so you can manage the stress. Magnesium. There's seven forms of magnesium, which I didn't know, but they're all seven forms are utilized in our bodies differently and they can help us relax. Lora Cheadle [00:23:27]: Well, do you need some sleep support? Maybe magnesium can help. Maybe vitamin d for the depression. Maybe vitamin b, the b complex for your stress. Like, there's some simple things that we can do. And no. I'm not talking about, like, pedaling high end vitamins. I I know I know there's some high end things out there that are really, really great and really, really effective and things like that. But by the same token, there are so many things you can just go to Costco and pick up a big old bottom of bottle of b complex, and it's gonna help. Lora Cheadle [00:23:59]: And it's in service of not only getting you through this present moment, but in building the body that you want ten years from now, twenty years from now. Whether you're with this partner or with a new partner or you're gloriously on your own, don't you wanna be vibrant and strong and healthy and happy? Yeah. I don't wanna look like the haggard woman who has been through hell and back. I wanna look through look like the strong, powerful woman I feel like inside. And to me, it's really that blend of that inside, I want to feel strong. Outside, I want to look strong. Inside, I want to feel beautiful. Outside, I wanna look beautiful. Lora Cheadle [00:24:43]: I want congruence between how I look and how I feel. It's not that I'm decorating this body to impress other people or attract a new partner or impress my, you know, my husband. I want to look how I feel and I want to feel good. And I wanna look like I feel good. And I wanna look at myself in the mirror and smile and be like, yeah. And I wanna look down at my body, and I wanna like what I see, and I want to hike, and I want to run around, and I want to break out into a dance break when a song comes on that I really like and not be like, oh, ow. I can't do it. Oh, oh, oh. Lora Cheadle [00:25:25]: I want to take on the world, and I wanna look like I wanna take on the world. So that's why I mentioned nutrition. And then closely following nutrition is fitness. And again, I'm not preaching that you need to go change your life and have a fitness routine. Although I think you know this about me, maybe not. I've taught fitness since 1988. '19 '80 '8. I graduated from high school in '87. Lora Cheadle [00:25:56]: I started teaching aerobics in 1988, and I have pretty much taught nonstop since then. All forms of group exercise. I love group exercise. Not only do you get a fun, good workout, but you have a fun community. You've got a schedule. You go to the club at a certain time. You've got your class. You've got your regulars. Lora Cheadle [00:26:18]: You've got the music. You're moving. Whether it's, like, the hardest workout or the easiest workout or somewhere in between doesn't sometimes matter. It just matters that you're out there and you're moving and you're grooving and you're connected and people notice when you're gone. And that's nice. It's nice to be in a community of other people doing healthy things and to have people notice when you're gone. And in my community, we do, like, these little group happy hours about twice a year. We'll just meet at a restaurant or go see a movie, and we'll just connect because we're supporting each other and it's fun. Lora Cheadle [00:26:56]: And and in my case, I teach up at the rec center now, and most of the women in my class are in their seventies. But it's a beautiful connection, And we all care about each other and being fit feels good. Now here's the psychological component of fitness beyond all of the regular components. Like you will live longer. You will have a better quality of life. You will look better. You, like, you will have less aches, pains, ailments, all of that. There is no downside to having a fitness program. Lora Cheadle [00:27:35]: But I think what I really want to talk about is the somatic piece of fitness that I think gets overlooked a lot of times. Somatics is just another word for using the body, and we can use our body to make us feel a certain way. So I wish you could just talk back to me here. What are some of the words that you think about about how infidelity made you feel? It made me feel weak. It made me feel stupid. It made me feel ugly. It made me feel worthless. It made me feel broken. Lora Cheadle [00:28:11]: It made me feel all of those things. Think about all of those things that infidelity made you feel. K. Got your list? Now here's what's magic about that. What kind of exercise is the opposite of that? Take the word that you feel. I felt crushed. I felt broken. What is the opposite of crushed and broken? Maybe it's expanded. Lora Cheadle [00:28:47]: Instead of crushed, I'm expanded. That's where flaunt comes from. Instead of crumpled, we are flaunting. We are expanded. Instead of broken, we are whole. Instead of weak and stupid, we are strong and powerful. First step is taking the word that you feel. Second step is finding the word that is on the opposite side of that, and the third step is doing that thing physically. Lora Cheadle [00:29:22]: When you feel weak and broken, get to the gym and lift some weight. Show your strength. Move that body. I am broken, and I am weak, and I'm pumping this iron, and I'm doing squats. And you don't even really need to know what what to do. You can just go to the weight room and read the directions on the weights. If you were feeling agitated, you know that feeling where you're like, I can't settle down. I can't settle down. Lora Cheadle [00:29:52]: I can't settle down. And you're twitchy. That's adrenaline pumping through your body. Get it out. Don't let it twitch. It's trying to get out. Shake. Dance. Lora Cheadle [00:30:03]: A lot of my somatic processing songs in my program, we do shaking and we do dancing, move it out. That could be a great Zumba class, a great dance class. Shake it, move it, twist it, twirl it, aerobics. Move it. If you were like, I'm so trapped, run. Get on the treadmill, walk, run, sprint, do something. But instead of being trapped, set yourself free. Do you need flexibility and flow? Maybe you need yoga because you feel stuck. Lora Cheadle [00:30:43]: How many of you raise your hand? Raise your hand. How many of you have said I feel so stuck? Let's try some breathing yoga and stretch. Let's get you unstuck physically. Let's get into those hip flexors. Let's get into the hamstrings. Let's stretch the waist and the back. Let's stretch the heart and get you unstuck. When you do physically that thing, it helps bring online what you want to feel because we can feel and sense our bodies. Lora Cheadle [00:31:18]: And it's hard. It's really, really hard to have an amazing workout where you've lifted some weights and you feel powerful and strong and you've pushed through and you've done something difficult. And maybe you've spent some time on a stair master or in a class, and you're you're sweaty and you're wrung out, but you're strong and powerful, it's hard to go around feeling sorry for yourself when you've worked out. When you have done something that builds your body and you have constructed yourself, it's really hard to feel broken because you were providing yourself with evidence that you were not broken. The evidence is look who I am. The evidence is look at what this body can do. The evidence is feeling yourself differently. So that's that fitness piece. Lora Cheadle [00:32:12]: Yes. Fitness is important. There's nothing I can tell you knew about that probably, but let's talk about the psychological impact of fitness, and that's where I want you to focus. And that's where we're gonna be focusing during our ninety days together in our little hot girl summer. We're going to start proving to ourselves. I still got it. Or maybe I got it for the first time, but we're going to be using our bodies, not in a punishing way. Like I gotta do 12 more reps, but in a flowy, dancy, sexy way. Lora Cheadle [00:32:48]: And one of the things that I'm gonna bring in is a lot of the sexy dance. I think, you know, I dance burlesque. I've I've got many different yoga less burlesque classes, and we're gonna do that together. We're gonna do that together live on Zoom, or you can watch the replay just in short chunks, just in, like, thirty minute, quote, exercise chunks. But we're gonna learn some of the moves. We're gonna learn how to flow. We're gonna learn how to embody and hold that energy because that was taken from you. Your sensuality, your sexuality, your feeling of being chosen and desired was taken from you when your partner cheated. Lora Cheadle [00:33:33]: And it is time to take that back. Your joy, your pleasure for you, not for anybody else. So I'm gonna teach you how to get in your body, how to move in a way that feels sensuous to you. You're gonna learn the moves and it's gonna be fun. And here's what I wanna say about that. Can this be triggering? Oh, yes. It can be triggering. And if you're sitting here thinking, I love hate this, Lora. Lora Cheadle [00:34:04]: I hear you. I love hate it too. Because there's so much societal conditioning about what it means when a woman is sexy. Ah, that's scary. Scary, scary, scary. It's not scary. It's who you are. You have been conditioned to not be fully expressed in your body. Lora Cheadle [00:34:24]: You have been told, oh my God, what will people think? There's a lot of layers of conditioning. And no, we can't really undo it all in ninety days, but you know what? We're gonna take a really good start. We're going to get you into your body. We are going to get you flowing freely. You can have your camera off. You can be alone at home and nobody's gonna know. And this is what I want you to know. Most people cry. Lora Cheadle [00:34:50]: Most people cry at some point during my sexy dance classes because we're out of our heads and we're into our bodies and we are loving ourselves. We're not talking anything over the top here. We're talking shoulder rolls. We're talking hips circles. We're talking peeling the glove off and twinkling our fingers up our leg. We're talking flirty, sexy, fun moves, but it can be so triggering. So triggering. And my ask for you is to let those tears flow. Lora Cheadle [00:35:23]: Let your heart open. Notice where you feel uncomfortable and just love yourself through that. And then at the end of the day, at the end of the class, at the end of the summer, you're just gonna be laughing and feeling so much more confident and free and expressed in who you are. So these are those pieces. Let's talk about hormones. Talk to your doctor, go to Mini Health. Send me a message. I can talk to you about some stuff. Lora Cheadle [00:35:59]: I'm clear on the other side, but get yourself feeling better. Hormones are powerful. And if they're out of whack, everything is gonna be out of whack. And this is not about a hormonal woman. No. No. No. No. Lora Cheadle [00:36:13]: No. This is about how can I support myself so I can be in my right mind and I can feel competent and confident again? Nutrition, fitness, wellness, sensuality, expression. The other thing that I think is really important and often gets downplayed, but just this whole concept of beauty and aging. And we talked about this a lot at, Shailene Johnson's Can't Be More last week. They had some plastic surgeons there, and they talked about all the different procedures that were available from nose jobs to, like, the eyelid lifts to face lifts and deep plane lifts and the different kinds of lasers. And there's so much out there. And I think my biggest takeaway from that was it doesn't matter what you do or what you don't do. But what does matter is that you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Lora Cheadle [00:37:12]: And, yeah, we're all gonna age. And, yeah, things are gonna shift and change, but are you happy? And it's that again, it's that inward and that outward. What can I do to build myself up inside, and what can I do to make the outsides match my big beautiful inside? And a couple weeks ago, I went and had IPL. That's the pulse laser on my face for dark spots. I even had it done on the back of my hands. And it was one of those things that I'm cut not really disappointed, but not thrilled with the results on my face. But, oh my god, so thrilled with my hands. I didn't realize how the dark spots on my hands really made me feel. Lora Cheadle [00:37:57]: And now I look down and I have these, like, beautiful white hands. And I'm like, oh, this is amazing. It makes me feel really good. And my commitment to myself is that I'm gonna start leaning in more. I have an appointment for Botox tomorrow. Again, I'm not talking full level face lift. If you wanna have a full level face lift, do it. But I'm gonna start exploring some things. Lora Cheadle [00:38:25]: I've had Botox in the past, and it was fine. But I'm like, now I'm just gonna go. Before I was, like, very conservative. Oh, let's do a little bit around my eyes before my TEDx because I I just don't want these smile lines. And let's just do some in my forehead, but let's go light. And I feel like the energy I'm going in with tomorrow is more like, hey. What can you do? What do you see? What what might make me a little bit happier here? And, again, not for the sake of just being beautiful from all of this stuff. But you know what? How can I support me? And even if it was superficial, I mean, let's just call that out. Lora Cheadle [00:39:02]: Even if it's just total superficial and I wanna be hot, who cares? It's my life. Right? I gotta do me. I wanna look good. I don't care when I look bad, but I like to look good too. Because I have built my confidence to that level that it doesn't matter, and I'm okay because I'm doing this for me. I'm not doing this for somebody else. This takes me back. If you have read my book, Flaunt, drop your cover, and reveal your smart, sexy, and spiritual self, one of the terms that I coined was the term naked self worth. Lora Cheadle [00:39:40]: And same thing, I know some people are triggered by that. They're like, naked, infidelity. Oh, we can't talk about sex. We can't talk about sex because this was a sexual injury. Okay. Hang with me. Yes. Can that be triggering? Yes. Lora Cheadle [00:39:52]: Hearing about sex, is that triggering? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Becoming intimate again with your partner. Difficult. Lora Cheadle [00:39:58]: Yes. Triggering. Yes. But here's the thing. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Ignoring your own sensuality, sexuality, beauty, fun, joy, it's not about them. It's about you. It's not about, I wanna look so good that I'm going to that it's like a revenge makeover. Lora Cheadle [00:40:23]: Even if it is, let it be. It's about you. If you want to look good at whatever level, look good. But the concept of naked self worth is that you are just as comfortable in your own skin with yourself fully propped up, makeup, hair, filter on the phone, 10 pounds gone, that your level of confidence and self awareness as as your perfect ideal self is the same level as your confidence if you were woken up out of a deep sleep, had to put your 20 year old glasses on, your holy sweats, and run to the grocery store and you just ran into somebody? That, yes, you can acknowledge not looking my best now, but my level of self worth is the same. I have naked self worth, meaning I don't need anything else to make me worthy. I know that I am worthy for who I am. I know that flawed, broken, messy, whatever is a part of who I am, and I accept that. And that's what I want us to build this summer, but forever. Lora Cheadle [00:41:42]: I want us to build that level of self worth, that level of naked self worth that no matter what happens, I'm on it. I've got this. I am worthy. I am connected. I honor myself. And it's a lot about that sovereignty and that self honoring. How much are you respecting and honoring and loving yourself day in and day out? For me, this is for me. That does include doing some beauty rituals. Lora Cheadle [00:42:16]: That does include doing my little, you know, face lift not face lift, face facial patches. What are those little things? Like, you do a facial and you lay there and you put a little mask on your face. I've got so many of the little fun beauty things. I have, like, the Nura laser. I have, the Ferrero bear. I do fun things on my face. I just got my haircut today. I do my own color. Lora Cheadle [00:42:45]: I hate getting my nails done, but I do that periodically. But I want to feel good. So what are the things that I'm doing to care for myself because I want to feel good? I want my body to be in good shape. I want to learn new makeup tricks for women with older skin. My eyes are starting to sag. What can I do differently? I've recently changed my eye shadow because it didn't work the same way that it used to work. I've experimented with facial exercises. Like, I'm doing all of these things because it's fun, because I want to feel good. Lora Cheadle [00:43:25]: And when I do things that make me feel good, then I feel better. I still have that self worth and that self confidence, but it gives me a lift. And what I want for you is that lift too. What I want for you is permission to go do whatever the heck you need to do. I want you to have permission to buy the new clothes or get the makeover or go see the hair specialist or go to a med spa and see see what it would take. See what somebody recommends, whether it's fillers or Botox or a facial or whatever. Go check it out. You have my permission. Lora Cheadle [00:44:09]: You have my permission to make yourself feel as beautiful and as worthy and as sacred and as adored and as pampered as you want. And if you're like, Ick, I don't want any of it. Perfect. Know what makes you happy and lean into that. Do what makes you happy. This is all about flaunt. That first step of flaunt is f, find your fetish. I want to be girly. Lora Cheadle [00:44:40]: I want to have fun. I want to be beautiful. I want to feel sexy and powerful and strong in my own skin. I don't wanna feel frumpy. I don't wanna feel out of shape. I don't wanna feel embarrassed. I don't wanna feel like I hate my body. I hate my clothes. Lora Cheadle [00:44:56]: I hate my hair. I hate my face. I don't want to look at my summer vacation photos and be like, oh God, I don't want that experience. So I'm going to lean in to changing it. This is that sovereign peace. This is that power peace. We are not victims of life. We are not victims of aging, victims of circumstance, or even victims of infidelity. Lora Cheadle [00:45:23]: What are the things that you can do to get your groove back, to take your groove back? What are the things that you can do to take back control of your life, of yourself, of your mental well-being, and to start having fun again? Friendship is hugely important. Connection is hugely important. As you know, if you're in my Facebook group, so many of the infidelity and betrayal recovery, like Facebook and support groups, are bitch sessions. We do not need another bitch session. I do not need another bitch session. It does not help. What we need is connection, community, support. What we need is to be able to have deep conversations, real conversations, meaningful conversations. Lora Cheadle [00:46:05]: What we need to be able to say is, this is what I'm struggling with with intimacy. How did you get through it? Is this an aging thing? Maybe this is a hormonal thing. Maybe this has nothing to do with my relationship. Maybe this is my hormones. And to have somebody say, yes. Did you know estradiol vaginal cream can really help with vaginal dryness? I mean, sometimes it is that simple. Sometimes we get we waste. We waste so much time in our heads feeling like we're broken. Lora Cheadle [00:46:37]: Oh my god. What's wrong? I will never be able to enjoy sex again. I'll never be able to love my partner again. I'm never gonna be able to love myself again. I'm broken. I'm there's solutions out there. Let me tell you. There are solutions for everything. Lora Cheadle [00:46:55]: We just need to be vulnerable enough to ask, and we need to create that safe space. And that is my intention is I want to create this safe space for all of us so we can talk and we can share. I'm I'm feeling crazy about this. I'm feeling stressed about that. I don't know what to do here. Let's try this. Ask your doctor that. Have you tried this? Let's do this workout together. Lora Cheadle [00:47:21]: Tell me about those tears. Because that is the only way we are going to get ourselves back. The more we hide, it's so valid if you don't wanna tell everybody in your world about the infidelity. So valid. I get that. But it's also hiding a lot that you're going through, and we can't heal when we're in hiding. We have to heal with each other. So many of the women that I coach, they want weekly sessions because it's a place to talk. Lora Cheadle [00:47:52]: It's a place where they can show up and share, and they can ask hard questions because they have nobody else to talk to, because they're tired of being judged. And it's just so refreshing to be able to talk and connect. And that's what we're gonna create here. We're gonna create this community where you can talk to people, where you can say this is what's going on so you can get the help. Because like I said, there's solutions out there. It's just that sometimes we even have a hard time describing what the problem is. And that was something that the director of MidiHealth talked a lot about. She said that so often women don't they don't know what their symptoms are because the symptoms change. Lora Cheadle [00:48:35]: Because like in perimenopause, when I said earlier, the hormones go up and down and up and down. For a week, you might have a hard time sleeping. For another week, it might be joint pain. For another week, it might be irritability. For another week, it might be night sweats. For another week, it might be a random hot flashes. Things happen and then women are like, I don't even know. I have all of these random little symptoms, and they don't make any sense, and they're not consistent. Lora Cheadle [00:49:02]: And a lot of the medical providers have not been trained to recognize and realize when hormones are fluctuating, your symptoms will fluctuate. You're not crazy. You do not need a pat on the knee. You do not need to be told to deal with it. You need to talk to other people who are like, oh my god. Let me tell you. I feel crazy too. Let me tell you my symptoms are up and down or all over the place, but this is what balanced them out. Lora Cheadle [00:49:29]: Let me tell you. This is how I felt. Let me tell you. This is what I was afraid of. This is what I was so afraid of, getting intimate with my partner again. And I had all these insecurities about my body and my performance and if I was good enough. So let's talk about that, shall we? Okay. Let's talk about that. Lora Cheadle [00:49:46]: Who talks about that? Don't you wish everybody just talked about that? And then we all knew what each other knows. Because when we all share with each other about what we all know, pretty soon we're getting a more and more complete picture of what it really is rather than staying stuck in our head or reading random articles articles online. And, yes, there can be some amazing stuff online, but there can also be a lot of harmful stuff online and a lot of stuff written from a man's perspective or a woman who has not been through what you've been through's perspective. So come together, whether it's this ninety day program with me and all of us, or whether it's with somebody else, make sure it's a healthy community. Make sure the focus is acceptance, is curiosity, is being vulnerable, being authentic, and asking the hard questions. Make sure it's on solutions that make you feel better, that you're not shamed for or shut down for. Give yourself everything that you need and ultimately know that you deserve to feel really good. You deserve to feel really strong, free, healthy, vibrant, and joyful, and that you can. Lora Cheadle [00:51:10]: Infidelity is not a death sentence. It does not mean the whole rest of your life is ruined. It just means that you need to integrate this thing, this awful thing into your heart, into your life in a new and powerful way. One of the stories that I have shared in the past, and I'll share it again real quick here, is when I was in Peru, I did a plant medicine journey, and I never thought I would have done something like that. The long and the short was it was about integration of the ugly into what I had thought was my perfect, beautiful, amazing life. I mean, after all, I had worked fifty some years on creating perfection. Right? I had done it all right, and all of a sudden, I'm given this. And how do I integrate this? And what I learned is some things can't be beautifully integrated. Lora Cheadle [00:52:17]: They just can't. Some things just are, and they are ugly, and they are a part of it. And we can't dress things up, and we can't love it away. We just have to deal with it. We just have to let it be there, and we have to let it be ugly. And, you know, I'll share the full story again next week because we're we're getting close on time here. But it's a powerful story about integrating that ugliness in our life and just accepting it, that it is what it is. We can't sugarcoat. Lora Cheadle [00:53:00]: We can't pretend. We just have to be with what is. So I really hope you join me this summer. I hope you join me for ninety days of connection and fun and adventure and friendship and ritual and dance and beauty and joy and strength and power and all of that. I really hope you join me.

Hey, welcome back! Today, we're diving into something that can seriously up your game when it comes to energy, performance, and even longevity—NAD+. If you haven't heard of it, don't worry, we've got you covered. We're also going to talk about some awesome peptide stacks that can keep you feeling energized and performing at your best—whether that's crushing it in your workouts or staying sharp through your workday grind. So, if you're looking to boost your fitness, stay more focused at work, or just feel more energized in general, this episode's for you. What is NAD+? Alright, let's kick things off with the basics—what is NAD+? It stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, which is a bit of a mouthful, but it's actually a co-enzyme that's super important for energy production in your body. Think of it as the fuel for your cells. Without NAD+, your cells can't make energy, which is obviously a big deal. Now, here's the thing—our NAD+ levels drop as we get older. This can lead to feeling tired, slower recovery, and just a general lack of energy. But don't panic—there's good news! Supplementing with NAD+ (either through injections or IV infusions) or even helping your body boost its NAD+ production naturally can actually reverse some of these aging effects. Not only will you feel more energized, but you'll also get benefits like improved focus, better endurance, faster recovery, and even some anti-aging perks. How Does NAD+ Work? So, how does NAD+ actually work in the body? It plays a huge role in energy production by helping with mitochondrial respiration. Basically, it cycles between two forms—NAD+ and NADH—to help produce ATP, which is the energy currency of your cells. But that's not all. NAD+ also impacts proteins called sirtuins that regulate metabolism, stress responses, and longevity. It even activates enzymes like PARPs that help with DNA repair, which is key for maintaining cell integrity, especially when dealing with things like aging and stress. And on top of that, NAD+ is involved in cell signaling pathways that influence things like inflammation, insulin sensitivity (which could help with weight management), and even your circadian rhythm. What Are the Benefits of NAD+? So, you've got energy, anti-aging, and DNA repair—but that's just the start. NAD+ can also help with memory, focus, and mental clarity by keeping your neurons healthy and protected from neurodegeneration. In fact, there's some research showing that NAD+ therapy could even help with managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, particularly for alcohol and opioid dependencies. Are There Any Side Effects of NAD+? Like anything, NAD+ therapy can have some side effects, though it's generally considered safe. Some people may experience things like low blood pressure, flushing, nausea, headaches, or fatigue, especially after an injection. But the good news is these side effects tend to go away on their own, and over time, your energy levels will start to improve. Let's Talk About Stacking NAD+ for Even More Benefits Okay, so you're probably wondering how to make the most of NAD+. Well, stacking it with the right supplements can seriously amplify its effects. But it's not just about throwing a bunch of stuff together and hoping for the best. You've got to have the right combos to really level up your energy, endurance, and focus. Here are my top four NAD+ stacks: NAD+ + Glutathione This stack is great for detoxing and reducing oxidative stress. It supports your cellular health and helps fight free radicals, which is key for feeling good and staying healthy long-term. NAD+ + 5 Amino-1MQ If you're looking to support metabolic health and fat loss, this one's for you. 5 Amino-1MQ is a peptide that works really well with NAD+ to boost fat-burning and improve metabolic efficiency. NAD+ + Thymosin Alpha-1 Thymosin Alpha-1 is a peptide that's all about boosting your immune system. When combined with NAD+, it enhances your immune-regulating effects, making it a powerful duo for longevity and immune resilience. NAD+ + Epitalon Epitalon is a peptide that helps with telomere health, which is essential for anti-aging. When paired with NAD+, it supports cellular repair and overall longevity.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden interviews Joel Gould, a dentist who shares his personal health journey and insights into the connections between oral health, sleep apnea, and chronic diseases like Crohn's disease. Gould discusses the importance of vitamin D, the role of nutrition, and the impact of modern lifestyle choices on health. He emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the neurological roots of sleep disorders and advocates for a return to ancestral dietary practices as a means to improve overall health. In this conversation, Joel Gould discusses the importance of transforming health education, particularly for children, through engaging media. He emphasizes the critical role of vitamin D in health, especially in relation to sleep apnea, and explores the connections between thyroid health and sleep disorders. The discussion also highlights the detrimental effects of glyphosate and deuterium on health, advocating for dietary choices that minimize exposure to these toxins. Gould stresses the necessity of testing for various health markers to personalize health solutions and improve overall well-being.    FOR AUDIENCE:   Use code 'Podcast10' to get 10% OFF on any of our supplements at https://gladdenlongevityshop.com/ !  Check out Joel Gould's health and wellness products at https://modernhuntergatherers.com/     Takeaways  Joel Gould's journey into dentistry was influenced by his own health struggles.  Crohn's disease can have profound physical and emotional impacts.  Sleep apnea is often misunderstood and has neurological roots.  Vitamin D plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system and sleep cycle.  Supplementing with vitamin D can reverse symptoms of sleep apnea and Crohn's disease.  The combination of vitamin D, K2, and magnesium is essential for health.  Mouth breathing in children can lead to long-term health issues.  Weston A.

Send us a textHelp me improve my podcast content by answering a few questionsTake the Health Type QuizResilience is crucial as we age, especially when it comes to maintaining muscle, joint, and bone health. In this episode, Dr. Bobby DuBois discusses how building physical reserves early on can help withstand inevitable changes and setbacks as we get older. Just like investing in an IRA, the earlier you start building your physical resilience, the better prepared you'll be for the challenges of aging.Dr. Bobby shares insights from his interview with Karen, who experienced a rapid decline in strength after a period of inactivity. Despite previous success with weight loss and fitness, Karen found herself struggling to lift groceries after weeks of illness and time away from the gym. Her story highlights the importance of maintaining muscle mass and staying active, even after setbacks.Key Points:The Impact of Inactivity: As we age, muscle loss accelerates. We can lose 1–2% of muscle mass per year after age 30, and inactivity can drastically speed up this decline. Strength exercises, even when started later in life, can still yield significant gains (study).Muscle Memory and Recovery: Muscle memory helps regain lost strength more rapidly than building it from scratch, but the recovery time lengthens with age. Karen's experience reinforces the importance of staying consistent, even when life gets in the way.Protecting Joints: Joint cartilage thins with age, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. Contrary to popular belief, regular running does not inherently damage joints. However, previous injuries significantly raise the risk of osteoarthritis (study).Bone Health Maintenance: Bone density peaks around age 25 and gradually declines, especially after age 50. Engaging in weight-bearing and high-impact exercises can help preserve bone density. Heavy resistance training is especially beneficial for maintaining bone strength (study).Supplementing won't solve the problem:  Calcium/Vitamin D supplements don't seem to solve the problem. Practical Tips for Resilience:Keep your protein intake between 0.5 to 0.75 grams per pound of body weight to support muscle maintenance.Incorporate cross-training activities during periods of injury or illness to maintain fitness.Focus on exercises that build both muscle and bone density, such as resistance training and weight-bearing movements.Takeaways:Aging is inevitable, but weakness isn't. Building resilience through consistent exercise and strength training is crucial to maintaining independence and quality of life.Don't give up after setbacks—muscle memory and consistent effort can help you regain lost strength.Prioritize activities that strengthen both muscles and bones to minimize the impact of inactivity and age-related decline.Live long and well by staying resilient and proactive. Remember to keep moving, invest in your muscle and bone health, and stay committed to your fitness journey. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with others and rate the show!

In this episode, Tara takes a deep dive into three of the most commonly recommended supplements—Vitamin D, Iron, and Selenium—and why they might not be as harmless as they seem. While these nutrients are essential for health, the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation can do more harm than good, especially when practitioners prescribe them without proper testing. Tara breaks down the misconceptions, the risks of over-supplementation, and how these supplements interact with other key minerals in the body. She encourages listeners to take a more critical approach, work with practitioners who think beyond blanket recommendations, and prioritize testing before taking any supplement.   In this episode:  The widespread belief that Vitamin D is a miracle nutrient and why this is misleading. How Vitamin D deficiency is often a symptom of inflammation rather than the root cause of disease. The dangers of high-dose Vitamin D supplementation and how it interacts with calcium and magnesium. Why iron deficiency is often misdiagnosed and why ferritin alone is not a reliable marker. The importance of looking at iron metabolism instead of assuming a deficiency. The risks of excess selenium and how over-supplementation can lead to toxicity. The myth that everyone with a thyroid condition needs selenium supplementation. The role of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in understanding your mineral status. The importance of working with a practitioner who understands nutrient interactions and proper testing.   BOOK A 30-MINUTE SESSION WITH TARA HERE   Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.

Hair loss is a deeply personal and often emotional experience, especially when it happens unexpectedly. For many women, hair thinning begins during perimenopause or menopause, yet the topic remains widely overlooked. In this special Women's History Month episode of HairPod, we sit down with Angela Fields, founder of a curly hair product line, to discuss her personal journey with hair thinning, her eventual diagnosis of CCCA alopecia, and the solutions she discovered. Angela's experience sheds light on the challenges of hormonal hair loss and the steps women can take to reclaim both their hair and confidence. How Vitamin Deficiencies and Hormones Affect Hair Loss Angela first noticed her hair thinning in 2017 when her part began to widen, revealing more scalp than before. This early sign of hair loss led her to her doctor, where lab tests revealed she had a significant vitamin D deficiency—something she hadn't previously considered. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in hair follicle health, and a deficiency can contribute to both hair loss and fatigue. Supplementing with vitamin D helped restore some of her hair's fullness, but as she entered menopause, new challenges emerged. Her hair loss became more pronounced, leading her to seek the expertise of a dermatologist, who diagnosed her with CCCA alopecia, a condition that causes scarring of the scalp and makes regrowth more difficult. Effective Hair Regrowth Treatments and Lifestyle Changes Finding a treatment plan that worked required time, patience, and a comprehensive approach. Angela began by incorporating key supplements such as Nutrafol, folic acid, vitamin C, and iron to support hair regrowth. But supplementation alone wasn't enough—because of the scarring caused by CCCA alopecia, her dermatologist recommended a series of scalp injections to break down scar tissue and allow new hair to push through. This process took months, but the results were encouraging. Daily Habits for Hair Regrowth Beyond medical treatments, Angela also adjusted her daily habits. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean scalp by shampooing regularly, as product buildup and excess oil can contribute to hair thinning. She also warns against wearing tight or glued-in hairstyles, which can put stress on the hair follicles and lead to long-term damage. Managing stress is another key factor, as high cortisol levels can accelerate hair loss. Through exercise, proper sleep, and self-care, Angela found ways to support her overall well-being while working toward healthier hair. Finding Support and Breaking the Stigma of Hair Loss Hair loss can feel isolating, but Angela stresses that no one has to go through it alone. She encourages women to seek support through online communities, Facebook groups, and even local meetups dedicated to hair loss. Speaking with a knowledgeable dermatologist who understands different hair types and traditional styling methods is another crucial step in finding the right treatment.

Collagen makes up the structure of our cells and tissues – thus impacting every area of our health. One of the most well-documented benefits of collagen is its positive impact on skin health. Clinical trials have shown that collagen supplementation can significantly enhance skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and contribute to a more youthful complexion.Additionally, collagen plays a crucial role in supporting joint and bone health. Research suggests that collagen supplementation may help alleviate joint pain and stiffness, particularly in individuals with conditions like osteoarthritis. Collagen is also a component of tendons and ligaments, making it important for overall joint function.On this Episode our special guest has been in the wellness industry for more than 40 years.

Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant for Longevity, Detox, and Cellular HealthClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!In this episode ofOver 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Patel, a pharmacist with over 25 years of experience in the longevity and anti-aging space. Dr. Patel shares his journey from traditional pharmacy to functional medicine, emphasizing that pharmaceutical companies focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing root causes. This led him to explore glutathione, often called the "master antioxidant," which plays a crucial role in detoxification and cellular defense.Dr. Patel explains that glutathione is a naturally occurring peptide composed of three amino acids—cysteine, glycine, and glutamine—produced by the body to neutralize oxidative stress and support liver detoxification. However, due to aging, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and environmental toxins, natural glutathione levels decline, leading to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and even cellular senescence (zombie cells).He highlights that while external antioxidants like vitamin C and E can help, they are not nearly as powerful as glutathione in reducing oxidative damage. The body relies on glutathione to combat free radicals, particularly oxygen and nitric oxide species, which contribute to aging and disease. Dr. Patel also discusses the importance of diet in maintaining glutathione levels, recommending foods rich in its precursor amino acids. However, after age 40, supplementation becomes necessary since the body's ability to synthesize glutathione declines.To optimize glutathione levels, Dr. Patel advises:Avoiding toxins, especially alcohol and environmental pollutants.Consuming cysteine-rich foods for natural glutathione production.Supplementing with bioavailable forms of glutathione to support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular health.Dr. Patel underscores that maintaining glutathione levels allows the body to allocate energy more efficiently, enhancing overall wellness and longevity.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, athttps://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Sharon:  Hello Dr. Cabral. I recently listened to your podcast on the use of binders. I have also seen other functional practitioners recommend Igg immunoglobulin supplements for gut issues. I don't see anything like this in your store. But the supplement is described elsewhere as binding toxins. Can you explain the difference between this and the other binders you recommend and if you believe these supplements are useful for certain situations and if and when they might be recommended vs the traditional binders you discussed. I also see this recommended to heal gut lining. Do you find this useful for that purpose instead of glutamine?                                                                                                                         Lee: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to tap into your expertise as iv noticed a change rand wondered what could be behind it. I'm a 42 year old female, relatively fit & healthy but could do better in all areas! Iv noticed both my eyebrows are starting to thin at the inner edges so from the bridge of the nose. I'm now having to use an eyebrow pencil to colour that part in and even them up! Any thoughts are appreciated.                             Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I'm wondering whether you've been following the longevity journey of Bryan Johnson.. the documentary just came to Netflix and it's called Don't Die because he literally wants to do everything in his power not to die, ever.. some of the things seem pretty dangerous to me (like gene therapy and taking immunosuppressants) and also he's selling some products like the Blueprint olive oil (I'm guessing it has lots of polyphenols, like the one you use as a supplement).. I was just wondering what you think about it all :)                                                                                                                            Anonymous: Hi, I tested my vit D at home & the test said I had levels above 100ng/mL - this test only goes up to 100ng/mL because most people don't have higher levels, so I don't know exactly how high they are. I understand this could be dangerous for my kidneys & arteries & maybe other things as well? I am wondering what could have caused my levels to get this high? I was using 4000iu per day since beginning of autumn & I didn't get really tan this summer either. There's additional 400iu in the multi I take, but is 4400iu really too much in the winter months? Considering I have fibromyalgia & hormone & gut problems I thought I would have some trouble with absorption of it all anyway so this really came as a shock! I am really interested in the explanation, the reasons why this can occur. Thank you                                        Anonymous: I was reading about vit D a lot & a naturopath I follow is really against supplementing with it, considering it's a secosteroid hormone & if we live where there's no Sun strong enough in the winter months, the nature obviously didn't intend for us to be having it in those months. She says that the tests only look at the reserves & there is no way of knowing how much of active vit D you have. Supplementing with it is therefore taking hormone therapy, that we should get it from Sun exposure in the summer months and then use up those reserves in the winter as nature intended. I really value your opinion so please explain in depth what is your take on this?

Dr. Mitchell will be examining Peter's practical steps for growth in salvation. One grows by adding or supplementing one's faith. In 2nd Peter chapter 1 verses 5 thru 7 there are 7 supplements that can and should be added to one's faith. Why? Because they will cause one to be fruitful in the knowledge, that is in one's relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Another reason is that this provision will prevent one from stumbling or falling. Peter writes that the one lacks these supplements has forgotten his purification from former sins. And, additionally, these also will provide one with an abundant entrance into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Dr. Mitchell will cover these things in depth both here and in his upcoming lessons. Let's join Dr. Mitchell here on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, 2 Peter 1:5

The Great Myth of the Sun GodsBy Alvin Boyd KhunIt may be that many of you have come to this lecture with the expectation of hearing about the superstitious beliefs of some ancient fire-worshippers or sun-worshippers. You may wonder why we should presume to waste an evening dilating upon the childish fancies of early peoples who could conceive of no more exalted form of deity in the universe than the physical body of our sun. Can there possibly be anything important in the study of such forms of crude fetishism?Let me disabuse your minds of any such prepossession at once. We have not invited you to hear of infantile nonsense of early child-humanity. On the contrary, it is our opinion that there is not a theme within the entire range of religious interest of such sublimity and authentic grandeur as this subject of the Sun-gods. We have come to the persuasion that this is the most important lecture that we have given or shall ever give. In it there is to be found the central thesis of all religion. We have asked you to hear an exposition of the cardinal principle of all true religion. Instead of dealing with an erratic notion of primitive barbarism, we have to present to you this evening the long-lost supreme datum of all high religion. And it is our design to show that religion in the world has drifted so far away from its original base that it no longer recognizes the very first and fundamental conception about which it was in the beginning constructed. The myth of the Sun-gods is the very heart's core of religion at its best.It is commonly supposed that religious honors were paid to the sun as a deity by a few isolated peoples or sects, such as the Parsees and the ancient Ghebers of Persia, and some African tribes. In correction of this view we are prepared to support the declaration that the worship of the Sun-god was quite universal in the ancient world. It ranged from China and India to Yucatan and Peru. The Emperor and the Mikado, as well as the Incas, and the Pharaohs were Sun-god figures. And is the belief only an empty myth? So far from being such, it is at once the highest embodiment of religious conception in the spiritual history of the race.Since the word "myth" occurs in the title, it is necessary to define it so that we may the better glimpse the nature of the subject. To the modern mind the word carries with it a derogatory implication. To reduce any construction to the status of a myth is to put it out of court and render it valueless. We regard a myth as a fiction and a falsity. To show that a theory or a belief is only a myth, is to relegate it to the world of non-reality, and dismiss it from further consideration as a thing of value.Not so with the ancients. With them (the ancients) a myth was a valuable instrumentality of knowledge. It was an intellectual, even a spiritual, tool, by the aid of which truth and wisdom could at one and the same time both be concealed from the unworthy and expressed for the worthy. The ancients rightly regarded spiritual truth and experience as being incapable of expression or impartation by means of words simply. A myth or an allegory could be made the better means of conveying subtly and with a certain added force, the truth veiled under a set form of dramatic presentation. The myth would enhance spiritual truth as a drama reinforces moral situations. It was all the more powerful in its message precisely because it was known not to be outwardly a true story. No one was caught by the literal falsity of the construction. Attention could therefore be given wholly to the hidden import, which was not obscured by the outward occurrence. The myth was known to be a fiction; therefore it deceived nobody--until the third century. But at the same time it was most ingeniously designed to instruct in the deepest of spiritual truths. It was a literary device to embalm lofty wisdom in the amber of a tradition that could be easily remembered, in the guise of a human story. It was truth incarnated in a dramatic occurrence, which was known to be untrue. Outwardly fictitious, but inwardly the substance of a mighty truth, was the myth. And as such it was the universal dress in which ancient knowledge was clothed.To indicate the universality of the Sun-god myth it is only necessary to enumerate some thirty of the chief figures known as Sun-gods amongst the nations about the Eastern Mediterranean, before the advent of Jesus. There were in Egypt, Osiris, Horus, Serapis, Hermes or Taht (Thoth), Khunsu, Atum (Aten, Adon, the Adonis or Phrygia), Iusa, Iu-sa, Iu-em-hetep; in Syria, Atis, Sabazius, Zagreus, Kybele (femine); in Assyria Tammuz; in Babylonia, Marduk and Sargon; in Persia, Mithra, Ahura-Mazda and the Zoroasters; in Greece, Orpheus, Bacchus (Dionysus), Achilles, Hercules, Theseus, Perseus, Jason, Prometheus; in India, Vyasa, Krishna, Buddha; in Tibet the Boddhisattvas; besides many others elsewhere.Likewise in the ancient Mystery dramas the central character was ever the Sun-god the role being enacted by the candidate for initiation in person. He went through the several initiations as himself the type and representative of the solar divinity in the field of human experience.Moreover, the Patriarchs, Prophets, Priests and Kings of Biblical lore are no less Sun-god figures. For in their several characteristics they are seen to be typical of the Christos.From the study of a mass of the ancient material the sincere and disingenuous student becomes ere long convinced of the fact that the Jesus figure of the Gospels, whether he lived historically or not (and there is much question of it even among theologians), is just another in the long list of the solar gods. They were figured by ancient poetic genius as embodiments of divine solar glory living among men, if they were not purely the mythical constructions of the allegorists.These Sun-god characters, of none of whom can it be said positively that they were living personages, were, it must be clearly noted, purely typical figures in the national epics of the several nations. They were symbols, one might say. But of what were they symbolical? That is the point of central importance. They were representative characters, summing and epitomizing in themselves the spiritual history of the human individual in his march across the field of evolving life on earth. They were the types and models of the divine potentiality pictured as coming to realization in their careers. They were the mirror held up to men, in which could be seen the possibilities locked up in man's own nature. They were type-figures, delineating the divine life that was an ever-possible realization for any devoted man. They were the symbols of an ever-coming deity, a deity that came not once historically in Judea, but that came to ever-fuller expression and liberation in the inner heart of every son of man. The solar deities were the gods that ever came, that were described as coming not once upon a time, but continuously and regularly. Their radiant divinity might be consummated by any earnest person at any time or achieved piecemeal.They were typed as ever-coming or coming regularly because they were symboled by the sun in its annual course around the zodiac of twelve signs, and the regular periodicity of this natural symbol typified the ever-continuing character of their spiritual sunlight. The ancients, in a way and to a degree almost incomprehensible to the unstudied modern, had made of the sun's annual course round the heavens a faithful reproduction of the spiritual history of the divine spirit in man. The god in us was emblemed by the sun in its course, and the sun's varied experiences, as fabulously construed, were a reflection of our own incarnational history. The sun in its movements through the signs was made the mirror of our life in spirit. To follow the yearly round of the zodiac was to epitomize graphically the whole history of human experience. Thus the inner meaning of our mortal life was endlessly repeated in the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly cycle of the sun's passage, the seven or twelve divisions of which marked the seven- or twelvefold segmentation of our spiritual history or our initiations. (They were figured at first as seven, later as twelve, when the solar gods came upon the cosmic scene.)The careers of these solar gods, then, were a type of what is occurring to every man who is dowered with the spark of divine soul within his breast. Each one of us has had or will have his festival of conception in June, his birth into the world of fleshly life in the autumn, his spiritual awakening at Christmas, and his glorious resurrection from the dead body of this life at Easter.The Christians say the Christos came once in a single character in history, Jesus of Judea, saying nothing about his coming to Everyman at all times. They present to the world the Only-Begotten Son of the Father, confusing in one historical figure two distinct characters of ancient philosophy, the Logos and the Christos, and making both historical in a human being born of woman. Suffice it to say that neither character was historical in the ancient systems. The Logos and the Christos were cosmic forces, and the erring Christians confounded these "personages" of ancient philosophy with the mundane career of the man Jesus, who was not other than one of the mythical Sun-god heroes, or national type-figures. What a travesty of truth the Christian representation has become! What a caricature the Gospels have made of the divine spiritual principle in man's life!The ancients had no "only-begotten" son because the term used in their systems, miserably mistranslated "only-begotten," was something with quite a different connotation. It was in Greek "monogenes," and in Latin "unigenitus," and was far from meaning "only-begotten." It meant that which was begotten of one parent, the father, alone, not the offspring of the union of father and mother. By the term the ancients meant to designate him who was the projection into matter of the spirit forces of life, not the final product of the union of spirit and matter, or the male and female elements. Had the early Christian Fathers known of the inner meaning of the symbolism of the Egyptian Ptah, as Khepr-Ra, who was typed by the male beetle that incubated in the ground and without union with the female transformed and regenerated himself after twenty-eight days (exactly a moon cycle) in the form of the young scarab, symbol of the new-born sun in the moon, they would have been intelligent enough to have avoided the great schisms that divided the Church into Roman and Greek Catholic bodies over the abstrusities of this very origin of the persons of the Trinity. But Egypt was farther away from Rome of the third century than it is from us, who can now read the inscriptions that were sealed from them.All this ancient scriptural data accentuates the fact that not the historical Jesus, but the spiritual Christ, or the god within the individual heart (as expounded in the lecture on Platonic Philosophy in the Bible) is the subject of the sacred writings of old, and the kernel of the whole religious ideology. Angelus Silesius has expressed this in a stanza which should be a perpetual reminder of the futility of clinging to the historical interpretation of Gospel literature.Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, But not within thyself, thy soul will be forlorn; The cross on Golgotha thou lookest to in vain, Unless within thyself it be set up again. And the Christian hymn, "O Jesus, thou art standing, outside the fast-closed door," gives expression to the kindred idea that while we look across the map to localize the Christos in Judea, we keep the spiritual mentor of our own lives standing without, seeking an entrance into our lives in vain.By the aid of archaic sacred books we have been enabled to trace authentically the origin of the name Jesus. And it is of great importance to present this material, because it throws a flood of clear light upon the ancient conceptions of the Messiah and the coming Son, or Sun-god. In this light the name will be seen to be a type-designation and not the personal name of an historical being.It is derived from the two letters (or numbers) which in the beginning of typology symbolized the two first elements, spirit and matter, into which the primal One Life bifurcated. They are the I (or 1) symboling the male or spirit, and the O (letter) or 0 (cipher) symboling the female or material universe. Together they represented the biune male-female deity. We have, then, the letters IO, or the number 10. As the vowels were freely interchanged, in ancient languages, the name was written either IO, IA, IE , or IU, and all these forms are found. Next the I transformed into consonantal value and became a J (as it is yet in Latin), so that we find the names JO, JA, JE and JU, from each of which many names have arisen. When the creation had combined the male and female and the two had given birth to the Son, or Logoic universe, the name was given the form of three letters, and we then find such forms as IAO, JAH, IEO, JEU, ZUE. When the universe became founded on the four cardinal points or the square of four dimensions, the name was spelled variously as IEOU, JOVE, ZEUS, JEVE, DIOS, T/HEOS, HUHI, IHUH and others. In its character as a sevenfold or seven-lettered name, it took the form of JEHOVAH, SABAOTH, DEBORAH, DELILAH, SEP/HIROT/H, MICHAEL, SOLOMON, and others of seven letters. The I permuted with l (el) or 1 (one), so that IE became LE or, inverted EL, the great Hebrew character of deity. The EL and the IAH (JAH), became the most frequent determinatives of divinity, as a host of names will testify. There are Bethel, Emanuel, Michael, Israel, Gabriel, Samuel, Abdiel, Uriel, Muriel Azazel, and many others, in which the EL is prefixed. The JAH is seen in such names as EliJAH, AbiJAH, while the IAH comes in a host of such names as Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Obediah, Hezekiah, Isaiah, Messiah, Alleluiah and more.But whence comes the "s" in Jesus's name? This is of great importance. It is derived from an Egyptian suffix written either SA, SE, SI, SU, or SAF, SEF, SIF or SUF (SAPH, SEPH, SIPH or SUPH) and meaning "the son," "heir," "prince" or successor to the father. (The F is an Egyptian ending for the masculine singular.) When the original symbol of divinity, IO or IE, JO or JE, was combined with the Egyptian suffix for the succeeding heir, SU or SA, the resultant was the name IUSA, IUSE, IUSU, or IOSE; or IESU, JESU, IUSEF, IOSEF, JOSEF. One of the many forms was JESU and another was JOSEF. The final F became sibilant at times and gave us the eventual form of JESUS. The name then meant the "divine son," and combined in the Egyptian IU the idea of the coming one. Hence JESUS was the Messiah, the coming son of the divine life. There was in Egypt for ten thousand years B.C. the character of this functionary under the name of IUSA. Later he was the Iu-em-hetep, which means "the divine son who comes with peace (hetep). But most interestingly, this last word also means seven. Hence Jesus is he who comes as the seventh principle to complete the six elementary powers of natural evolution with the gift of divine intelligence, which supplants the elementary chaos with the rulership of love and intelligence and thus brings peace into a warring situation. Hence finally, Jesus is the seventh cosmic principle, announced in all religious lore as he who comes to bring peace and good will to men. And as such he was announced in the Christian Gospels. But there was more than one Jesus or IUSA or IU before the coming of the alleged historical Jesus.Startling as are the implications of this bit of etymology, a far more amazing denouement of Bible study is the revelation that not only were there over thirty Sun-god figures in the cults of the various nations of old, but there are immediately in the Bible itself, in the Old Testament, some twenty more Sun-god characters under the very name of Jesus! Are we speaking arrant nonsense or sober truth when we make a claim which seems at first sight so unsupportable? Twenty Jesus characters in the Old Testament! Let us see. We have noted the many variant forms of the Jesus name. There are still others in the Old Testament, never suspected as being related to the name of the Christian Redeemer. There are Isaac, Esau, Jesse, Jacob, Jeshu, Joachim, Joshua, Jonah and others. All these are variant forms of the one name, which has still other forms among the Hebrews in secular life, Yusuf, Yehoshua, Yeshu, etc. Joshua, Hosea and Jesse are from this name indisputably. A few might be the subject of controversy.Furthermore, beside these that bear the original divine name, there are other Sun-god figures in the Old Testament under a wide variety of names. They are Samson (whose name means "solar"), David, Solomon, Saul (equals soul, or sol, the sun--Latin.), Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Jephtha and the like. Their actions identify them as solar representatives.Now let us see what the conception of our divinity as a Sun-god in reality meant to the sages of old, and what it should mean to us. It meant that the divinity within us, our divine soul or Self, was itself the Sun-god, or solar deity. And what does this signify in concrete terms for us? Just this; that the god within us is constituted of the imperishable essence of solar light and energy! In short, we ourselves, in our higher nature, are solar gods in potentiality! Our highest nature is an incorruptible body composed of the glorious essence of the sun's energy! The gods in the Bible were always symboled by the light or fire of the sun. We are now enlightened to see it as a description of our nature as veritable truth and fact. We are Sun-gods. Our immortal spirits within us are composed of the radiant substance of solar energy.At the very time we were first assembling the material for this lecture, there came an announcement in the daily press of a discovery by a modern physicist, Dr. George W. Crile, of the Cleveland Laboratories, which practically fixed the seal of truth upon every word we have uttered or shall utter in this lecture. It was most startlingly corroborative of our exegesis. He announced that he had discovered at the heart of every living organism a tiny nucleus of energy, all aglow, with temperatures ranging from 3000 to 6000 degrees of heat, which he called "radiogens" or "hot points." These, he said, were precisely akin to the radiant energy of solar matter. He affirmed, in short, that a tiny particle of the sun's power and radiance was lodged within the heart of every organic unit! The light and energy that has life. What would be Crile's surprise, however, if he were to be shown a sentence taken from Hargrave Jennings' old book on the Rosicrucians, written over sixty years ago: "Every man has a little spark (sun) in his own bosom?" For this was one item in the teaching of the Medieval Fire-Philosophers, and the reason they were styled such. They knew what Crile has discovered, as likewise did the ancient Bible-writers. They based their Sun-god religions upon it. Our souls are composed of the imperishable essence of solar light! We are immortal because we are Sun-gods.But many will impatiently rise to expostulate with us, and ask why, if this was the universal fundamentum of the old religions, the Bible itself does not categorically carry this message and state this central fact. Wait a moment! Who that knows this primary datum has searched the Bible to see if it has nothing to say on the point? We, too, believed the Bible was remiss in expressing this conception, until we searched with a more watchful eye. And now let us hear what the Bible says as to our solar constitution, and determine for ourselves whether it is silent on the groundwork of religion or not. Let us hear first the Psalms. "Our God is a living fire," say they; and "Our God is a consuming fire." "The Lord God is a sun," avers the same book. "I am come to send fire on earth," says Jesus, meaning he came to scatter the separated sparks of solar essence amongst mankind, a spark to each soul. In Revelation the angels scatter the fire and the incense of their seven censers over the earth, among the inhabitants. Then says John the Baptist: "I indeed baptize you with water, but he that cometh after me will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire!" Jesus says: "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Satan was the descending Lucifer, or Light-bringer, before he was lifted up and divinized.) The fire that falls on Jeremiah's altar and many another in the Bible narrative types the deity coming to dwell with mortals. Says Jesus: "When I am in the world I am the light of the world." Again he said: "Ye are the light of the world," and "Let your light so shine that others may . . . glory your father which is in heaven." The Lord, say the Psalms, "made his angels messengers and his ministers a flame of fire." The New Testament Jesus, following the well-known Egyptian diagram of the Ankh, the solar disk with the spread wings, is described as "the sun of righteousness, risen with healing in his wings." John has Jesus saying that the condemnation of the world lay in that it rejected the light when it was sent into the world. Says Job: "Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle and his candle shall be put out with him." Isaiah writes: "Behold all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks; walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks that ye have kindled." We are adjured to "Rise, shine, for thy light is come." "The Lord is my light," reiterates the Psalms. And again: "In thy light shall we see light." "Light is sown for the righteous." "We wait for light," cry the souls in the darkness of incarnation, far from their original fount of light. John declares that the Christos "was the true light" which was to come Messianically for the redemption of our lower nature. And again he declares that with the Christos "light is come into the world." No cry echoes with more resounding intensity down to this age than Paul's exhortation to our souls buried in lethal darkness: "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon thee!" And in Revelation there are those mighty pronouncements: in the spiritual resurrection "there shall be no more need of the sun to shine by day nor the moon by night, for the glory of the Lord did lighten it." And there is no more heartening assurance anywhere in the Bible than Jesus's statement: "Ye have light in yourselves."And these are only a gleaning from the great score of similar passages with which the Bible teems. And still folks will say they find no warrant for the Sun-god idea in the Bible!In Rome the sacred fire in the temple of Vesta was guarded by seven Vestal Virgins, chosen for purity and for psychic vision. If they permitted the fire to die out (symbolic of the light of deity dying out in the heart) the penalty upon them was death. If they violated their sexual purity, they were buried alive in the city. And from the great old Egyptian Book of the Dead we take just one passage among scores: "Lo, I come from the Lake of Flame, from the Lake of Fire, and from the field of flame, and I live." And again, from an old Book of Adam and Eve we quote a great passage in which the Lord says: "I made thee of the light, and I wished to bring out children of the light from thee." If only we had been taught by our religious teachers that our spiritual natures are woven and fabricated of solar light, we should have had a clearer apprehension of our potentialities for divine education.Supplementing all this material from the Bible and ancient scriptures, there is at hand for our supreme enlightenment one grand pronouncement from Greek Platonic philosophy which we conceive to be that lost ultimate link between science and religion. It is the truth before whose altar both science and religion can kneel at last and find themselves paying tribute to the same god,--the god of solar radiance. It is a sentence from the learned Proclus, last of the Great Platonists: "The light of the sun is the pure energy of intellect." Are we big enough to catch the mighty significance of that statement? Is it not the essence of what the modern physicist means when he talks of "mind-stuff?" The fiery radiance of the sun is already the motivating genius of intellect! Matter is itself intelligent and intelligence! Here is the basic link between all naturalism and all spirituality. Matter enshrouds and contains the soul of mind and spirit. The light of the sun is the deific flash of intellect! And the very core of our conscious being is a spark of that infinite indestructible energy of solar light. There is the "seminal soul of light" or the seed of fiery divinity (Prometheus's "fire" stolen from the gods) in each of us. It makes us a god.Armed with this unquenchable fire which is intellect, we are sent on earth to inhabit a body which is described as a watery and miry swamp. The body is nearly eighty per cent. water! It is the duty of the fiery spark to enlighten the whole dark realm of mortal life, to transmute by its alchemical power the baser dross of animal propensity into the finer motivation of love and brotherhood. This life is a purgation--Purgatory--because it is a process of burning and tempering crude animal elements into the pure gold of spiritual light. In Egyptian scriptures the twelve sons of Ra (the twelve sons of Jacob, and the twelve tribes of Israel) were called the "twelve saviors of the treasure of light." An Egyptian text reads: "This is the sun within us, the seminal source of light. Do not dim its luster or cause it to suffer eclipse." And another runs: "Give ye glory as to the sun; he is the chief, the only one coming from the body, the head of those who belong to the race of the sun."With this force of fire we must uplift the lower man and transmute his nature into the spiritual glow of love and intelligence. With it we must turn the water of the lower nature into the wine of spiritual force. Around it we must aggregate the refined material which we shall build into that temple of the soul, that body of the resurrection, the great garment of solar light, in which we shall rise out of the tomb of the physical corpus and ascend with the angels. This is the radiant Augoeides of the Greeks, the Sahu of the Egyptians, in which the soul wings its flight aloft like the phoenix, after rending the veil of the temple of the body. It is our garment of immortality, the seamless robe of glory, in prospect of which we groan and travail, says St. Paul, as we earnestly desire to be clothed upon with the garment of incorruption. As flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of heaven, we must fashion for our tenancy there this body of solar glory, in whose self-generated light we may live eternally, having overcome the realms of darkness, or spiritualized the body. Jesus prays the Father to grant unto him that glory that he had with him before the world was, and his prayer is fulfilled in the formation of the spirit body out of the elements of the sun.Who is this King of Glory?--says the Psalmist. And we are exhorted to lift up the aeonial gates, the age-lasting doors, to let the King of Glory enter into our realm. The King of Glory is the Sun-soul within us, raised in his final perfection in the fulness of Christly stature to the state of magnificent effulgence. The King of Glory is the immortal Sun-god, the deity in our hearts; and when at last he blazes forth in the heyday of his glory, and comes in majesty into our lives, then we behold his glory, as of the alone-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. And when he appears to those still sitting in the shadow of darkness, they report that "they have seen a great light, and to those that sat in the valley of darkness did the light shine." And this light, seen ever and anon by some illuminated son of man, as he gropes in the murks of incarnation, is truly "that light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world."And when that light shineth clearer and brighter unto the perfect day, then, indeed, we know of a surety that we ourselves are nucleated of that same glorious essence of combined intellect and spirit. Then we know that we ourselves are the Sun-gods, and that the ancient allegory is not a "myth," but the very essence of our own Selfhood.The Great Myth of the Sun GodsBy Alvin Boyd Khunhttp://mountainman.com.au/ab_kuhn.html This is a public episode.

Discover the often-overlooked power of digestive enzymes and their broad-reaching impact on your health and wellness. These specialized proteins are essential for breaking down the foods we consume, enabling our bodies to absorb vital nutrients effectively. Without adequate digestive enzymes, you may experience a host of issues, from bloating and fatigue to nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. Join me as we delve into the fascinating world of digestive enzymes, exploring their roles in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even aging. We'll also discuss practical ways to incorporate enzyme supplementation into your daily routine for improved vitality and overall well-being.Takeaways: Digestive enzymes are crucial for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients effectively, impacting overall health significantly. Enzyme deficiencies can lead to a range of digestive issues, fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and even premature aging. Research indicates that enzyme supplementation may improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and support long-term health and vitality. Modern diets often lack adequate enzymes due to cooking and processing, leading to digestive challenges. Proteases, lipases, and amylases are the primary enzymes that facilitate the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates respectively. Supplementing with high-quality digestive enzymes can enhance digestive efficiency and support wellness. West Wellness and Longevity LinksAre you ready to make change but don't know where to start.

Dr. Arshad begins by reviewing the inclusion criteria in the meta-analysis he conducted. He wished only to look at studies where lysine was supplemented in a rumen-protected form. The meta-analysis did not include studies that infused lysine into the abomasum or intestine. In addition, only completely randomized design or randomized complete block design studies were included. Feed ingredients and chemical composition of diets for each experiment were run through NASEM to predict the metabolizable lysine content using the same model so all studies were on the same scale. (6:04)The bioavailability of the different rumen-protected lysine products used in the studies ranged from 22 to 90 percent. If the paper's authors reported bioavailability values, they were used in the meta-analysis. If the paper did not provide bioavailability values, Dr. Arshad contacted authors or lysine product manufacturers to offer them. (13:53)Dr. Arshad discusses the percentage of lysine as a percent of metabolizable protein in the diets as well as differences among the prediction of the flow of amino acids to the small intestine from NASEM, NRC, and CNCPS models. (16:45) Around 40% of the meta-analysis dataset was from early lactation cows where rumen-protected lysine was supplemented starting from 20 days in milk. The rest of the dataset came from mid-lactation cows. The duration of lysine supplementation also varied. Cows supplemented with rumen-protected lysine for more than 70 days In early lactation produced 1.5 kilograms more milk than control cows. Mid-lactation cows supplemented for less than 70 days produced 0.8 kilograms more milk than control cows. Increasing lysine as a percentage of metabolizable protein linearly increased milk and component yield. (20:11)During the transition period, cows not only experience negative energy balance but also negative protein balance, estimated at one kilogram of protein loss from skeletal muscle during that time. Plasma lysine starts to decrease around 21 days before calving but bounces back after seven days in milk. This suggests that lysine utilization by the mammary gland and other tissues is high during the prepartum period. Supplementing lysine before calving and during early lactation should improve the efficiency of protein synthesis and may explain the difference between early and mid-lactation responses observed in the meta-analysis. (24:10)Lysine supplementation improved feed efficiency. Dr. Arshad discusses potential reasons for this and also points out that somatic cell counts were lower for lysine-supplemented cows, suggesting that this amino acid may be important for mammary gland health. He also discusses some of the interactions with methionine found in the meta-analysis. Dr. Zimmerman and Dr. Arshad also hypothesize about the mechanism of action of supplemental lysine increasing milk fat percentage. (30:44)Dr. Arshad describes how he would design the next rumen-protected lysine study given what he learned from the different studies in the meta-analysis. In particular, he would like to see more work with primiparous cows, and dose-titration studies to pinpoint the optimal amount of lysine to supplement and to further explore the impact of lysine on immune function. (42:42)The base diet and bioavailability of the rumen-protected lysine product are critical components to determine the supplementation rate for a particular group of cows. Dr. Arshad details the differences between this meta-analysis and previous meta-analyses regarding lysine supplementation. (46:40) In closing, Dr. Zimmerman was excited to see this meta-analysis and it validated observations from the field. Dr. Weiss underlines the strict inclusion criteria and regression analysis as particularly strong points in the paper. Finally, Dr. Arshad reminds the audience that creating a balanced ration should include essential and non-essential amino acids. He again emphasizes the importance of having an understanding of the bioavailability of rumen-protected products before conducting research projects with them. Lastly, he identifies a research gap regarding lysine supplementation of primiparous cows, which make up 30-35% of herd dynamics.

Did you know that 80% of all diseases are linked to oxidative stress in your body?  In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, I chat with Dr. Nayan Patel, a glutathione expert and founder of Auro Wellness to discuss the critical role of glutathione in combating oxidative stress and its potential impact on overall health, especially for women in midlife. We discuss that as we age, our natural glutathione levels decrease, potentially leaving us more vulnerable to oxidative stress and related health issues. We also dive into the surprising connection between glutathione and sleep quality, common misconceptions about glutathione supplementation, and practical tips for boosting your glutathione levels naturally.  Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom-develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians themselves. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver Glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically. From this technology, he additionally developed The Auro GSH Antioxidant Delivery System to create a skincare line to deliver antioxidants more efficiently and effectively than ever before at potent concentrations.

Protein does more than build muscle mass. Protein is necessary to structure, function, and regulate virtually all tissues in your body. You can imagine you need protein for yourself and your growing baby during pregnancy. While there is a Recommended Daily Allowance for protein during pregnancy, some research shows the RDA is underestimated and varies based on the stage of pregnancy. Supplemental protein powders are an easy solution to add protein to your diet. There are considerations when selecting a protein powder and caution for some of the ingredients and contaminants found in some powders. This episode examines the evidence on protein requirements during pregnancy, sources of protein in animal and plant-based diets, and supplementing with protein powders.

Episode 2716: Aging comes with unique nutritional challenges, especially for plant-based eaters like Debra and her husband. As nutrient absorption declines, it becomes essential to prioritize protein sources and monitor levels of key nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and B12. Supplementing may be necessary, but always consult a doctor and choose high-quality, certified supplements. Quotes to ponder: "Calcium and vitamin D work together to protect the health of our bones. But beyond that, vitamin D may help the immune system work at its best." "Strict vegetarians and vegans are more likely to experience a vitamin B12 deficiency. This is because animal products are the best sources of vitamin B12." "Supplements are not as well-regulated as our food and water supply.

Video version of the podcast is here. This may not be a "hot take" with regards to supplements, but we will be talking about some cool beans. Mucuna pruriens, also known as the velvet bean, is a natural source of levodopa, a key treatment for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Research shows it may reduce PD symptoms and have a quicker onset and longer duration than standard medications like carbidopa/levodopa (C/L). However, it can cause more side effects, particularly with prolonged use. Unlike C/L, Mucuna lacks carbidopa, which helps reduce side effects. While it has potential benefits, dosage standardization is a concern, and more research is needed. Always consult a doctor before using it.

Did you know that nearly 44-60% of the population could unknowingly carry a gene mutation that impacts their health in significant ways? The MTHFR gene mutation plays a critical role in how our bodies process folic acid, which is essential for various bodily functions, from brain health to pregnancy. If your body can't properly convert folic acid into its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, it can lead to a range of issues like infertility, miscarriages, ADHD, mood disorders, and digestive problems. In this episode, Gary Brecka reveals studies on how personalized supplementation can be the key to unlocking better health for you!

Twenty-five years ago, Kristi was brutally attacked in an ordeal that forever changed her perspective on personal safety. This week, she bravely revisits that horrifying night, when a man feigned familiarity to gain her trust, only to launch a violent assault while she was driving through what she believed to be a safe neighborhood. He left her for dead, and fled before police arrived. He then went on to attack two more women before he was caught, seven months later. Kristi says the ordeal, which is still vivid today, inspired her to launch the hugely successful K9s4COPS, a non-profit which places trained dogs with law enforcement agencies and in schools across the United States.  In this episode we learn about the incredible work K9s4COPS is doing every day, and how we can support it.  https://www.K9s4COPS.org STORIES00:00 - Start00:11 - Trigger Warning00:19 - Kristi's story00:43 - 24/25  years ago, a man approaches my car 01:43 - He walks away.

He explains the difference between essential and non-essential amino acids and their role in stimulating protein synthesis. Keely highlights the significance of protein intake for muscle growth and repair, especially with aging, and the effectiveness of essential amino acid supplements in meeting daily protein needs. We emphasize the benefits of consuming essential amino acids for protein synthesis, energy production, and overall health. We recommend taking essential amino acids before exercise to boost protein synthesis and recovery.

How can practicing virtues like self-control and perseverance enhance one's faith?Faith is a multifaceted journey that involves continual growth and intentional enhancement, much like the physical supplements that many incorporate into their daily lives for better health. Rylee Meek and Christian Edwards, notable speakers at faith-based events, offer unique perspectives on how spiritual supplements can bolster one's faith journey. Rylee Meek emphasizes that accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is just the beginning, advocating for the continuous supplementation of one's faith to fully experience and maximize one's walk with God. Drawing a parallel to physical health, Meek likens spiritual supplements to necessary aids that improve our faith experience in a world where the "food supply" of spiritual nourishment can often be lacking. Similarly, Christian Edwards underscores the believer's responsibility to bring heaven's blueprint to earth, starting from salvation. He views these faith supplements as essential tools that enhance the essence of God within us, preparing believers for both an enriching earthly experience and an overwhelming entrance into eternity. Through their insights, both Meek and Edwards inspire individuals to deepen their faith intentionally and holistically.By cultivating these seven disciplines you nurture your faith journey.TakeawaysTurning Point Faith aims to address the intersection of spirituality and politics in today's society.Adding supplements to faith can enhance growth and strengthen one's relationship with Jesus.Actively practicing virtues like self-control and perseverance can enhance one's faith and reflect the character of God.Supplementing faith with virtues like moral excellence can glorify God in all aspects of life.Self-control is crucial as a supplement to faith to combat desires and vices.Self-control allows individuals to overcome vices and cravings, leading to a disciplined and virtuous lifestyle.Hope, defined biblically as a confident expectation, produces perseverance and character in navigating trials and tribulations.Quotes"For if these things are yours and abound, you will neither, you'll be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Christian Edwards"When God looks down from heaven at us as believers, he wants to see himself. We're to be a mirror image of him. We are to be conformed to his image." - Christian Edwards"If God gave you the vision, he will give you the capacity to fulfill the vision, but it takes your perseverance to see it through." - Rylee Meek"Kindness is not niceness. Right? There's a big difference. Or just acceptance of everything. Sometimes to be kind, you've got to be bold." - Rylee Meek"To love is a decision. It's not an emotion. Despite these movies that you may see, despite seeing somebody and just, like, feeling these butterflies in your tummy about them, it's a decision to compassionately, to righteously, to sacrificially meet the needs of another." - Christian Edwards"If I hear anything other than that, I'm going to be very disappointed knowing that you're like, who just made it right by this? Give me your teeth. Oh, man. Definitely don't. Don't want that to happen." - Rylee MeekThe Believers Summit: The Believers Summit (tpusafaithevents.com)Join the King's Council Community: https://joinkingscouncil.com/Follow King's Council:

Thank you for all you are doing in the health space! I am a long time listener and appreciate your podcast! I am 51 years old, 5'4", and 145#. I am fit, and have been competing in CrossFit and Functional Fitness for a long time, including some international masters competitions. I have eaten a paleo diet since 2016, and added dairy to that in 2020 when my whoop told me my recovery was better every time I had dairy. More recently, my diet is leaning toward carnivore, but I still do eat fruits and vegetables, just not as frequently as before. Unfortunately, I was recently diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). I underwent a bilateral mastectomy on 3/18/24 and will be seeing the medical oncologist for treatment planning on 4/12/24. I know your podcast can not give medical advice. My question is regarding dietary changes that could reduce my estrogen levels. My cancer was estrogen positive. Through conversations with my surgeon, as well as the breast cancer groups I have recently joined, it is likely the medical oncologist is going to recommend I start hormone blockers. I would prefer to find ways to reduce my estrogen with lifestyle changes vs medications if I can. I am in perimenopause, so my total estrogen is lower to begin with. It was 43 pg/ml when it was tested in January. So, my question - Is there anything I can do dietarily or with other lifestyle changes that can reduce my estrogen levels? Thank you so much for your assistance. I look forward to hearing your answer! Dana   Electrolytes and respiratory rate Colette writes: "I have a question about electrolytes affecting respiratory rate. I got a notification from Apple Health that my respiratory rate had gone up over the last 10 days from an avg of 13.7 breaths a minute to 15.9. I've never received that particular notification from Apple before and I'm wondering if it correlates with me starting LMNT around the same time. I did a google search and did see that salts and water along with a list of other things can affect respiratory rates so I wanted to check to see if I should cut back on the amount I'm using (1 packet a day)or be concerned?"   Supplementing collagen for joint pain Ann writes: Hi Robb, I'm wondering if you could shed some light on the efficacy of adding collagen to treat knee pain/arthritis. I'm 61 years old, normal weight, low carb diet, regular walker, and I resistance train 3-4x/week. After a lot of years of sports, running etc I've developed some pretty bad knee pain and have been advised that knee replacement surgery is in my future. I'm not really on board with that and have been experimenting with red light therapy and recently added collagen supplements to my diet. I followed the advice of another individual in the low carb/wellness space and ordered from a particular company. While the product seems fine so far (I think its too soon to see improvement), the over-the-top aggressive daily emails and constant pushing of other products are starting to make me think there something scam-like going on. My understanding is that it's important to get types I and III, bovine, grass fed, hydrolyzed collagen, but I'm having trouble finding objective advice that isn't promoting a specific company's products. I'd appreciate any advice you can give. I'm a big fan of LMNT and I appreciate all you do. Thank you Ann    Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.
