Do you notice your mood dip, energy crash, or motivation fade as the days get shorter? Do winter colds seem harder to shake? Tune in as we unpack Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and why seasonal changes can have a very real impact on both mental health and immune resilience. In this episode, we highlight key nutrients that support mood, stress response, and immune function, especially during fall and winter. We walk through the physiology behind seasonal mood changes—light exposure, neurotransmitters, inflammation, and circadian rhythm—and share practical food-as-medicine and supplement strategies you can actually implement. If winter tends to leave you feeling flat, foggy, or run-down, this episode offers science-backed support to help you feel more grounded and resilient through the season.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Peter Kevorkian, president of Life Chiropractic College West and a leader with more than four decades of clinical and academic experience. Together, we examine the fundamental flaws in the modern healthcare model and why it remains heavily focused on disease management instead of health optimization, prevention, and long-term resilience. Dr. Kevorkian shares how chiropractic philosophy offers a different lens for understanding health, one that recognizes the body as inherently designed to adapt, heal, and thrive when interference is removed. We explore the role of the nervous system as the master regulator of health and why restoring its function is central to improving outcomes across physical, biochemical, and emotional domains. This conversation highlights how chiropractic care fits within a broader integrative framework rather than standing in opposition to conventional medicine. We also discuss the importance of nutrition, movement, and personal awareness in supporting the body's innate intelligence. Dr. Kevorkian emphasizes that healthcare should empower individuals to better understand their bodies, not simply manage symptoms. His vision points toward a future where chiropractic plays a leading role in shifting healthcare toward maximizing human potential, vitality, and true well-being.   Key takeaways: Redefining Healthcare: The current healthcare model needs to shift from disease care to true healthcare by focusing on preventive care and the body's natural ability to heal. Innate Intelligence: Chiropractic care emphasizes the intelligence within the human body and seeks to optimize the nervous system's function to improve overall health. Trusting Intuition: Dr. Kevorkian advocates for trusting one's intuition and inner wisdom alongside factual medical advice for personal health decisions. Influence of Chiropractic: The chiropractic profession helps remove nervous system interference, enhancing the body's ability to adapt and heal across various conditions. Future of Healthcare: Dr. Kevorkian envisions chiropractic care leading the movement toward a more comprehensive health-oriented approach, with a focus on creating healthier lifestyles rather than merely treating conditions. More About  Dr. Peter Kevorkian:   Dr. Peter Kevorkian started out studying civil engineering at Tufts, but soon realized his true path was in chiropractic. From his first day at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he knew this was more than a career—it was his calling. For over 40 years, he has built a warm, family-focused practice, taught and mentored thousands of doctors, and spoken around the world. From hosting "Philosophy Nites" in his home for more than 25 years, to serving on boards like the ICPA and Sherman College, to now leading Life West Chiropractic College as its 4th President, his mission has always been the same: helping people and families live at their best through chiropractic. To Dr. Kevorkian, chiropractic isn't just healthcare—it's a way of living with purpose, alignment, and service. He inspires people to reconnect with their "why," live with clarity and joy, and create lives built on values, service, and courage.

A mom of four, avid weightlifter, and Boston Marathon finisher, Tara empowers people to achieve peak physical and mental performance without burnout. In this episode, Tara debunks common myths about cortisol, reframing it as an essential energy-mobilizing hormone rather than just a stress villain. She addresses fears around fasted HIIT training potentially causing fat gain, exhaustion, or hormonal disruption—especially in perimenopause—emphasizing that acute cortisol spikes are normal and issues often stem from broader factors like underfueling, poor recovery, and life stress. Tara also covers misconceptions about breakfast timing, supplement use without testing, and assuming symptoms like burnout always mean high cortisol, advocating for proper testing and personalized approaches.    RESOURCES: Learn more about Tara here: http://taragarrison.com Instagram: @coachtaragarrison @higher.coaching @insideouthealthpodcast Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro: Addressing common cortisol myths and misconceptions circulating online 01:02 – Sponsorship mention (Peluva minimalist shoes) 02:54 – Overview of cortisol testing (DUTCH Plus and saliva tests vs. blood tests) 04:05 – Myth 1: Fasted training (like HIIT) causes dangerously high cortisol, leading to fat gain 12:05 – Myth 2: Fasted HIIT universally "wrecks" hormones (e.g., sex hormones). 20:28 – Myth 3: Symptoms like stress, burnout, and weight loss resistance always mean high cortisol. 26:22 – Myth 4: Using supplements to "balance" cortisol without testing. 31:38 – Myth 5: You must eat breakfast within the first hour of waking to prevent cortisol spikes. 42:30 – Nuance/avoiding oversimplified advice   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

What happens when your family stages an intervention because they've been avoiding you 10 days every month?I'm sharing the story of a patient who had a complete breakdown at Christmas dinner. She snapped at her husband, her kids, her mom, her in-laws—everyone. A few hours later, her family told her: "We love you, but for 10 days every month, we actively avoid you."She came to me asking: Am I bipolar? Am I manic? What's happening to me?This is PMDD premenstrual dysphoric disorder. And when it collides with perimenopause, it becomes a perfect storm. This is not just PMS. This isn't you being dramatic. It's a real biochemical thing happening in your brain an abnormal response to normal hormonal changes.I discuss the science of PMDD: how GABA receptors respond to progesterone metabolites, why some brains are change sensitive, and why the hormonal volatility of perimenopause (erratic estrogen, declining progesterone, unpredictable timing) makes everything exponentially worse. I explain treatment options from luteal-phase SSRIs to Yaz to Duavee for refractory cases, and why tracking your symptoms for at least two cycles is critical for diagnosis.Highlights:Why "I feel like I'm watching myself burn down my life and can't stop it" is the hallmark of PMDD.The DRSP tracking tool: why you need 2 cycles to diagnose PMDD properly.Why Vitex (chasteberry) might help mood swings and breast pain.What Duavee is and why it works for women who can't tolerate progestins.Why Dr. Tammy Rowan calls PMDD a progesterone sensitivity issue.Ulipristal: the emergency contraception drug being studied for PMDD.If you've ever felt like your brain gets hijacked on a schedule, if you've felt completely out of control, this episode is for you. Track your symptoms. Find a clinician who takes cyclic mood symptoms seriously. You don't have to live like this.

Are you training hard, eating clean, and doing "all the right things"… but your body still isn't responding the way it used to? That was me. Even as a lifelong athlete and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner — I hit a wall. My power dipped. My runs felt harder. My skin changed. Fat loss stalled. Recovery lagged. Something wasn't adding up. So I became my own case study. In this two-part deep-dive series, I take you behind the scenes of my personal health investigation — the exact process I use with clients to build their FutureYou Blueprint™ using: • GI MAP gut microbiome testing • Advanced blood chemistry analysis • Mescreen™ mitochondrial function testing • Genetic stress + metabolism vulnerability profiling • My symptom timeline and history In Part 1 & Part 2, you'll learn:

What happens when a psychiatrist trained in one of the most research-driven programs in the world starts asking questions nobody wants to answer? Dr. John Yaakov Guterson is a board-certified psychiatrist who trained at the prestigious Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh, once the top-funded psychiatric research program in the world. He served as medical director of multiple psychiatric hospitals for over 25 years while maintaining a private practice. Known as "The Singing Psychiatrist," Dr. Guterson has produced over 750 videos exploring the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and the human soul. In this conversation, we go where mainstream psychiatry refuses to go. We talk about what gets lost when you reduce the human soul to a checklist of symptoms. We explore whether suffering might actually mean something. And we ask a question the medical establishment has worked very hard to bury: What if we've been getting this wrong for a century?

#390 In this episode, Guy welcomes back former theoretical physicist David Clements who now bridges consciousness, science, and the spiritual realm. They discuss the ongoing powerful evolutionary waves that started on December 4th and are designed to uplift planetary systems including our solar system. David shared detailed insights into the Arcturian and inner earth beings facilitating these changes and emphasizes the importance of connecting with one's heart intelligence. They explore practical aspects of maintaining high energy levels, the eventual collapse of outdated systems, and the broader cosmic implications of these shifts. The discussion also touches on his personal journey from a scientific to a spiritual perspective, and how humanity can best prepare for and embrace these transformative times. About Dr. David: In my early days, I began as an artist, spending most of my time dreaming and imagining beyond the reality I was living in. Which later, after a doorinside me opened, allowed me to develop a deep intuitive insight into the conscious quantum nature of reality. But before this fully opened, I was propelled into, and became, a professional theoretical physicist, working in string theory (a theory of subatomic particles and multi-dimensional spaces) as well as advanced theories of electromagnetism in some of the world's leading and prestigious academic institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford Universities. I left this profession because the opening within had revealed to me a very different view of the living conscious nature of quantum reality, a far distance from the mathematical and structured world I had learnt to work in.My conscious awakening, and connection with the higher aspects of myself began just after the year 2000, when I learned to view remotely. From here, my intuition and energetic senses came alive in ways I never before imagined possible. From here, I began a deep journey, moving into, and becoming more heart centered. Unravelling the many layers of past and current life aspects within myself to gain more connection to the Creative Source field consciousnes of love and my whole Self. In doing so, I was given deeper insights into the workings of realities, as well as inspirations for innovations and ideas, that it is my heart felt joy to share with others.

Send your questions to be answered live on the podcast to: info@painpsychotherapy.caReady to make 2026 the year you unlearn chronic pain or symptoms? We're laying out 4 clear steps to heal.We start by reframing chronic symptoms through a neuroplastic lens: when assessments are clear and physical fixes stall, it often means the body is capable but the brain's danger system is overprotective.From there, we dig into full commitment—trading treatment inconsistentcy for dedicated daily practices that teach safety. You'll hear how small, measurable wins mark real change that leads to symptom reduction.Next, we break down the sensitization cycle and how to respond to sensations with safety instead of danger. We discuss embodiment practices that help you approach pain with curiosity, pairing these practices with safety signals like slow breathing and grounded awareness.Then we tackle the hidden rulebook—those “don't bend, don't eat, must stretch” rules that keep life small and fuel symptoms. We discuss how  graded exposure can retrain the brain and reclaim movement, foods, places, and activities one small step at a time.Along the way, we share real-world examples, mindset shifts, and function-first goals that make this work feel doable and meaningful.If you're ready to replace fear with skills and grow your world again, hit play, save this one, and share it with someone who needs hope.Subscribe for more mind-body tools, leave a review to support the show, and send us your question for our upcoming Q&A series.Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms.

So many women are led to believe their body is broken when weight loss, hormones, digestion, or energy feel increasingly “complicated.” When the usual strategies stop working, the narrative quickly shifts to dysfunction, failure, or the idea that something about their body in particular, must be "broken" or "defective". But more often than not, the body isn't malfunctioning - it's adapting.This episode explores the difference between the broken body narrative and the reality of adaptive biology. Symptoms are not random or rebellious; they are intelligent responses to cumulative stress, restriction, under-recovery, and years of pressure placed on the system. When we ignore that context and attempt to override the body with more control or more force (onslaughts of hacks, protocols, peptides, supplements, etc) we often create even more resistance.By reframing health through the lens of adaptation rather than failure, we can begin to approach healing with strategy and wisdom instead of urgency. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing band aids and start rooting out solutions, through understanding your body's signals. Because meaningful, sustainable change doesn't come from fighting your biology, but from working with it.Join me on the 'gram!

Western civilization is being tested like never before. Victor Davis Hanson argues to the contrary, saying that while much of Western Europe and America's blue states continue down a failing path, signs of renewal are emerging in unexpected places—Eastern Europe and America's red states. These countermovements are pushing back against cultural nihilism, restoring free speech, reinforcing the nuclear family, and demanding legal immigration with full assimilation. He breaks down these emerging trends on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “'It's a verdict for the future of Western civilization. We've had the revolution for 50 years, but we haven't seen a counterrevolution to the degree that's taking place. Western European elites in the former British Commonwealth and blue state elites all are very critical of the Yahoos in Eastern Europe and the Yahoos in the red states. But only for a while because their paradigm is collapsing as we speak. And the people who are gonna save Europe are the people who they thought they were embarrassed of. It's quite ironic, but it's also a hopeful time for Western civilization.” (0:00) Introduction (0:48) Symptoms of Decline in the West (1:58) The Impact of Ideological Choices (2:47) Open Borders and Assimilation Issues (3:32) Counterrevolutions (4:40) A New Paradigm for Renewal We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Every year after Christmas, the same conversation resurfaces: moms waking up to empty stockings and the internet rushing in with advice to leave, rage, or declare the relationship doomed.But what if the stocking isn't the real issue?In this episode, we slow the moment down and talk honestly about why this seemingly small disappointment hits so hard for so many moms and what it actually reveals about mental load, visibility, inherited patterns, and modern partnership.We read real posts from moms, talk through the full spectrum of reactions (from “it was an honest miss” to “this has been happening for years”), and explore why the empty stocking often becomes a quiet test of recognition, effort, and shared responsibility.This isn't a hate-on-men episode.And it's not a “just get over it” one either.It's a grounded conversation about:Why this moment feels bigger than giftsHow inherited family patterns show up at holidaysWhen disappointment is information—not a verdictWhy “just tell him what you want” often doesn't workHow couples can respond without blowing things up or sweeping it under the rugWe also share what actually helped us have one of our most connected Christmases yet and what we see help couples repair moments like this instead of letting resentment calcify.If this episode stirred something up and you want help having the conversation underneath the disappointment, we created a free guide called The Stocking Was the Symptom—a calm, honest conversation guide for couples who don't want this moment to define their marriage.

Today, I'm unpacking one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) chemicals in your brain: dopamine. We tend to think of it as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter—and it is, but when it's out of balance, it can quietly drive burnout, anxiety, depression, weight gain, addiction, and chronic stress.I'm sharing this because I've been there. Before I gave my life to Christ, I was chasing dopamine in all the wrong ways—shopping, overspending, unhealthy relationships, and quick fixes that only left me more depleted. And I see the same patterns everywhere today.If you've been feeling “off,” unmotivated, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhealthy cycles, this episode will help you understand why—and give you hope that balance is possible again.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:14] Introduction to Dopamine and Its Impact[02:38] What Dopamine Really Is (and Why We Chase It)[04:05] The Addictive Cycle of Dopamine Hits[06:17] How Dopamine Depletion Affects Mental Health[10:50] Physical Effects: Hormones, Weight & Immunity[13:15] Natural Ways to Boost Dopamine Levels[15:16] The Role of Lifestyle in Dopamine Balance[19:38] Sugar, Processed Foods & the Crash[20:55] Healthy Hobbies & Goal Setting[22:26] Supplements, Gut Health & Dopamine[23:32] Setting Goals and Achieving Dopamine Satisfaction[25:30] Conclusion and Looking Ahead P.S.

Have you ever felt like you're chasing symptoms—only for them to circle back, leaving you stuck in the same cycle? Maybe your labs are “normal,” yet something still feels off. If so, this episode is for you.In Beyond Symptom Management, Dr. Mary guides you through the powerful shift from reacting to symptoms to truly understanding the root cause of what your body is trying to tell you. You'll learn how functional medicine and functional testing provide deeper insight, clearer data, and a more personalized roadmap for healing.Functional medicine doesn't just ask what is wrong—it asks why. Instead of putting out fires, it uncovers the sparks that started them in the first place. From your nervous system to your organs to your energetic field, this episode explores how all your systems communicate and work together.Dr. Mary shares the top five benefits of functional testing, including how it helps: • Identify the root cause of symptoms • Create personalized treatment plans • Detect and prevent disease early • Track progress over time • Empower you with a deeper understanding of your healthYou'll also hear real-world examples—like blood pressure trends or continuous glucose monitoring—to show how meaningful patterns emerge when you track your body over time.Then we take it a step further: energetic functional testing. Discover how tools like the Bio-Well scan measure stress, energy, and balance within your biofield using gas discharge visualization.

This week, I'm revisiting two of the year's biggest interviews with Shinedown's Barry Kerch and Eric Bass — offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of modern rock's most enduring and innovative bands.First, Barry Kerch opens up about Shinedown's evolving sound over the past two decades, their approach to crafting unforgettable live setlists, and the stories behind the band's 2025 singles “Dance, Kid, Dance” and “Three Six Five.” He also shares insight into the emotional power of “A Symptom of Being Human,” Shinedown's commitment to philanthropy, and what fans can expect from Shinedown 8, set for release in 2026.Then, Eric Bass takes us inside his creative world — from joining Shinedown during The Sound of Madness era to producing the band's concept albums Attention Attention and Planet Zero. He also dives into his debut solo concept album I Had A Name, its companion graphic novel, and the stories behind songs like “Mind Control,” “Goodnight Goodnight,” and “Azalia.”Eric also revisits Shinedown's cover of Carole King's “I Feel the Earth Move” from The Warner Sound Live Room sessions and the Attention Attention B-side “ANWTD (A New Way To Die).” Plus, in a never-before-heard segment, he reflects on touring with Iron Maiden and KISS, and his first meeting with Wolfgang Van Halen (Mammoth WVH).Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering their music for the first time, this exclusive double-feature interview pulls back the curtain on the passion, process, and creativity driving one of hard rock's most powerful and resilient acts.

For all the talk of abundance, what's really abundant these days are the morbid symptoms of a dying international system. According to Georgetown's Charles Kupchan, these symptoms include the endless wars in Ukraine and Gaza, Trump's frenetic demolition-man act, and the rise not just of China but of India and Turkey. As the Pax Americana of the post-World War Two era withers away, the key question is what comes next. “The old is dying and the new cannot be born,” Kupchan quotes the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci. “In this interregnum,” Gramsci explains, “a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.” But for all the abundance of symptoms, there's an acute scarcity of cures in our post-Pax Americana world.

Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder where people severely restrict food due to fear, sensory sensitivities, or low interest — not body image concerns — causing significant health and social problems Unlike normal picky eating, ARFID involves intense distress, extremely narrow food choices, nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and serious disruption to daily life and social activities Prevalence ranges from 0.35% to 6.4% depending on region, primarily affecting children and teens, with average diagnosis at age 11 and higher male representation than other disorders Treatment approaches include parental control strategies, cognitive behavioral therapy, family-based treatment, food therapy, and sequential oral sensory methods to gradually reduce food-related fear and anxiety A specialized protocol combining psychology, hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming shows 90% success for adults and 65% for children, often achieved in single session

Unexplained chronic pain/illness trapping you in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April dives into neuroplastic symptoms—brain-generated conditions from stress/trauma (1 in 6 adults, higher in autism/ADHD)—with Dr. David Clarke, MD (Internal Medicine/Gastroenterology), ATNS President (nonprofit ending pain epidemic), and podcast host "The Story Behind the Symptoms." Treating 7000+ patients, Dr. Clarke's book "They Can't Find Anything Wrong" reveals real symptoms (fibromyalgia/migraines/IBS/long COVID) unresponsive to physical treatments—focus on stress sources for recovery. Key insights: Neuroplastic basics: Brain rewires from stresses (current emotions/childhood adversity/being "different" like ND); no structural cause but real (scans prove circuits change). ND link: Masking/difference adds pressure; symptoms signal distress (e.g., pain only at work triggers). Screening: Free 12-question quiz at symptomatic.me (

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sophie:  Hi Stephen, I really appreciate all that you do and I was hoping you would be able to give me some much needed guidance. I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia last year and the only explanation the consultant could provide was it was due to a tiny scar on my heart. I had a ultrasound & an MRI and the results were fine, and my heart was structurally sound. I have taken the big 5 and nothing was out of the ordinary apart from high cortisol at night and candida. I consequently completed the CBO last year. I am currently on beta blockers to control the fast/erratic heartbeats. These do not work all the time. The consultant said my only other option is for them to preform an AF abrasion. What are your thoughts on this procedure, as I really want to get off the beta Blockers and find a natural alternative to fixing my heart. I have heard you talk about how Enzymes are good for the heart, is there one in particular that would help or anything else I can try? I really do not want to have the abrasion or carry on with the BB and am desperate to find a natural solution to fixing my symptoms. I am taking omega 3, magnesium-complex, VD + K2, vitamin c, b-complex, hawthorn, zinc, coq10 & taurine, is there anything else I should be taking to help. When my symptoms are at there worst, I get a big rush to the head and black out for a few seconds, whilst shaking. I have a clean diet, and do not smoke and have cut out alcohol, coffee & sugar, as I find any stimulant does not help, including over exercising. Please help, any advise would be greatly appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                                Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Over the last year my cycle has gone from 28 days to 23–24 days, and my PMS symptoms have gotten extreme—like night sweats, heavy emotions, breast tenderness, and migraines right before my period. I'm only 34, so perimenopause feels early. Could this be stress-related, estrogen dominance, or something deeper? Thank you for all you do!                                                                                                                                                                                                   Sarah: Hello dr C! Curious if you're familiar with the eating disorder Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)? I suffered with it from the age of 2 until 20 - eating nothing other than 2 "safe" foods which were very processed. I'm now 29 and can happily say I no longer suffer with this ED after years of work and eat ALL the foods (all healthy, organic, wholefoods). I'm worried if having this ED for this length of time and during my developing years has permanently impacted my health, specifically my digestion and my gut microbiome. I've drastically changed my life around, have done a bunch of your testing and protocols but still dealing with some issues and curious if my past means i'll never be able to reach optimal health? How resilient is the body?                                                                          David: Hello Dr. Cabral, appreciate your work and dedication. I've been experiencing persistent muscle twitches throughout my body for about six months. My doctor says magnesium levels look "normal," but I know that doesn't always tell the full story. Could this be related to electrolytes, stress, or a nervous system imbalance? Any suggestions on testing or protocols to help calm the twitches would be appreciated.     Tommy: Hi Dr. C, I'm so frustrated. I had a gut issue for a long time and only the healthy belly product kept it at bay. Stool test showed citrabacter Freudi which I ran before I had the digestive issues. I did 2 para protocols, then the CBO, and dealt with frequent urination all the way through. By week 8, my bowells were much better and things had improved, however, I had to stop the protocol there as I couldn't handle the supplements at a lower dose. 2 weeks later I picked up a stomach bug, and since then I'm back to square one. I'm working on CBT because I have a lot of trauma and I believe that's why I've been so succeptible to stomach issues. I'm considering another stool test but the only issue is, what can I do about the result if I can't handle so many herbs and supplements I feel stuc   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3607 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What about Obamacare? Do you remember the promises they made? Saving $2,500 each year, keeping your doctor, and keeping your insurance. All lies. Yet to make things “better,” Congress wants to do more of the same. Would anyone be surprised when things get worse? What about the promises of reducing drug prices? Except they haven't gone down, they've gone up...

A theme that's dominated 2025 for me (and for many) has been price rises across many subscription-based platforms and services. My correspondence with companies has made clear that loyalty stands for very little. In fact, rather than being rewarded, longevity is increasingly exploited and monetised. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I share a year-in-review through the lens of price rises. The tipping point was an email from my podcast hosting company, Libsyn, announcing a 71 percent increase effective from January. It was the straw that broke this camel's back after a year of similar moves elsewhere. In the episode, I share exchanges with three companies that reveal how loyalty is no longer valued in itself, but engineered to extract profit from those of us who've become reliant on these platforms. https://youtu.be/qrmUSdGwcMs A Symptom of Enshittification Cory Doctorow describes the underlying trend as “Enshittification”, a form of platform decay visible in companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Adobe. It's not a glitch, but a feature. Doctorow traces a familiar arc: platforms start by serving users well in order to grow. Once established, they pivot toward business customers, monetisation, and scale. Eventually, when users and businesses are sufficiently locked in, services are degraded for everyone so maximum value can be pulled out as quickly as possible. Disproportionate price rises are one symptom of this process, particularly in how companies treat long-standing customers. Lock-in is maintained through network effects (it's hard to leave when everyone else is still there), non-transferable data (your work can't easily be exported), and digital restrictions where purchases only function inside a single ecosystem. Music, books, films, and software are “owned” only as long as the platform allows it. In the name of convenience, we give ourselves over to these systems and become dependent on them. As the digital and physical worlds converge, this logic extends beyond apps and websites into cars, home devices, utilities, and infrastructure. At that point, this stops being a simple matter of consumer choice. Extraction is baked into the products themselves. We are quietly acclimatising to this new normal. It has crept in through corporate consolidation, weak enforcement of anti-trust legislation, and business models that no longer need to meaningfully consider customer relationships once a certain scale is reached. Abusing Trust, Need, and Loyalty Charlie Brooker has cited Enshittification as an influence on Common People, the opening episode of Black Mirror series seven. A couple sign up to a subscription-based medical intervention that escalates in cost, complexity, and dependency. Features are removed. Adverts are inserted. The stakes become existential. One particularly chilling moment sees Mike literally mutilating his own body for money via an OnlyFans-style platform, a stark symbolic image of how value is extracted from people once dependency is established. Price Rises for a “Valued Customer” Libsyn informed me they were raising the price of hosting A Quiet Night Inside No 9 by 71 percent. The justification was a familiar list of added features and growth opportunities, none of which were relevant to how we use the service. We don't want adverts or growth tools. We want reliable hosting and delivery. This exchange highlighted how much podcasting has changed since I joined Libsyn in 2009. Hosting platforms have increasingly positioned themselves as intermediaries between advertisers and podcasters. That relationship now takes precedence. Advertising is framed as a benefit to creators, while enabling hosts to raise prices and skim revenue from both usage fees and ad sales. Listeners, meanwhile, absorb longer ad breaks as the new normal. Is this stage two of Enshittification in the podcasting world? Note, I pledge never to put adverts on my audio podcasts. YouTube is the only exception, because Google inserts them regardless. ConvertKit and Paying for Features I Don't Want A similar logic played out with Kit, formerly ConvertKit. I chose it in 2016 because it was simple and reliable and have been a loyal user ever since. A price increase from $49 to $59 a month was justified by new automations and tools I didn't ask for or use. There is no way to opt out and pay less. The only concession offered was annual billing, which I pointed out mirrors poverty-tax logic: those without upfront capital pay more. Symptoms of a Failing Service Vimeo was the clearest example of platform decay from the inside. Storage rules changed midstream. Long-held assumptions were invalidated. Downgrading meant losing access to years of work. Retention efforts amounted to one-off discounts rather than meaningful alternatives. What stood out wasn't hostility, but indifference. Once a service reaches a certain size, individual relationships no longer seem to matter. Their response felt so extreme that I suspected deeper problems, which seemed to be confirmed when Bending Spoons acquired Vimeo in November. I'm glad I left when I did, though it's still inconvenient clearing up broken links and legacy embeds after fifteen years of use. WishList Member and a Different Choice Not all companies operate this way. WishList Member has honoured the price and feature set I signed up for over a decade ago. While new tiers exist, functionality hasn't been removed to force upgrades. This appears to be a deliberate choice, and it communicates something simple: long-term trust and loyalty matters more than short-term extraction. I’ll let you know if this situation changes… Growth Logic and the Limits of Choice It's tempting to frame all this as a moral failure, but it's structural. Growth-at-all-costs logic makes price rises, feature bloat, and lock-in almost inevitable. These companies aren't malfunctioning; they're functioning exactly as the system encourages them to. This also makes it risky to romanticise alternatives. Newer companies may simply be at an earlier stage of the same cycle. Google once promised “don't be evil”. Facebook positioned itself as a less invasive alternative to MySpace. Scale changes incentives. Meaningful change won’t come from individual consumer choices alone. Competition has been hollowed out, and escape routes are increasingly narrow. Doctorow provides a section of existing and potential solutions that can give us reasons for active hope. Have you felt the pinch of price hikes this year? Feel free to get in touch and share your experiences.

This episode is a powerful wake-up call about health, metabolism, and personal responsibility. Ben Azadi explains that true transformation does not start with diet plans or workout routines, but with identity and decision. Most people are stuck not because they lack information, but because their self-image is broken. Symptoms like belly fat, fatigue, brain fog, cravings, inflammation, and poor sleep are not signs of aging. They are metabolic warning signals asking for change. Ben shares his personal story of pain, depression, and healing, reminding listeners that motivation does not create change. A committed decision does. The episode walks through five life-changing questions that help reprogram identity, followed by a simple wake-up protocol focused on daily non-negotiables, future visualization, and upgrading your environment. This message challenges listeners to stop “trying,” take responsibility, and make today Day One, not someday. FREE GUIDE: How To Lose Fat 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day - https://bit.ly/4j45Yxa 

Depo-Provera was approved in 1992 by U.S. regulators. About 1 in 4 sexually active women in the United States have used the shot at some point, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors with a female predominance. In fact, they are the most common primary brain tumor in women, with an incidence of approximately 12.76 per 100,000 in the general female population. The vast majority of these tumors are benign (World Health Organization [WHO] grade 1) while 15% to 20% of these tumors can behave atypically (WHO grade 2) and rarely, in 1% to 2% of cases, these tumors can be malignant (WHO grade 3). We covered the relationship between Depo-Provera, as a contraceptive agent, and brain meningiomas back in March 2024. With the increase in data, the ACOG released a patient centered counseling tool titled, “Counseling Patients on Birth Control Injection and Meningioma”. The most recent update on this story comes from the FDA, which has granted a medication label change to Depo-Provera (Pfizer) warning of this association. Even though association does not prove causation, the association between depo and meningiomas seems strong (with new data from the US). Does this warning extend to other progestins?

How Conventional Medicine Is Ruining Our Kids | Dr. Larry PalevskyTurn online alignment into an offline community — join us at TheWayFwrd.com to connect with like-minded people near you.We're watching an entire generation of children get sicker, and the medical system still won't admit it's out of answers. Parents see it. Practitioners see it. And the gap between real-world patterns and the official explanations around childhood illness keeps widening.In this episode, Dr. Larry Palevsky breaks down the observations that pushed him to question the pediatric model from within. Standard protocols weren't helping. Some interventions were making symptoms worse. And the infection-based framework he was trained to follow simply didn't explain the chronic inflammation, neurodevelopmental issues, or immune dysregulation showing up in real kids.Looking for clarity, he stepped outside the conventional lane—into nutrition, Chinese medicine, chiropractic, reiki, herbology, and other holistic approaches that offered a fuller picture of children's health. That search opened deeper questions about vaccine ingredients, aluminum adjuvants, immune overload, environmental toxicity, and whether our definition of “infection” actually matches what's happening inside children's bodies.This conversation is for anyone who already knows the system is breaking kids—and wants the language, context, and coherence to understand why, and what truly supports long-term health.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:06:23] The lost art of Clinical Medicine[00:07:38] The emergency room revelation about ear infections and antibiotics[00:12:21] Discovering the concept of "the body has the innate capacity to heal"[00:17:09] Using reiki in the delivery room to save babies[00:23:24] The pivotal moment a mother asked about mercury in vaccines[00:26:42] The premature baby saved by fish oil[00:33:14] Why Dr. Larry stopped vaccinating and started educating[00:42:18] The troubling science of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines[01:03:08] Three brain regions where nanoparticles travel[01:06:29] What sorbitol in MMR might actually be doing[01:18:21] Why vaccines are "safe and effective" is the wrong debate[01:24:10] The real contagion theory no one talks about[01:34:07] Acute illness is rarely an infection[01:48:42] The 15-year-old diagnosed with autism who actually had addiction[01:41:59] The autism debate, diagnostic labels, and the dozen causes of brain injury in children[02:04:26] The parenting advice that sounds cruel but builds resilience[02:08:40] What "making children well again" actually requires [02:22:15] Symptoms are just the body doing its job[02:16:53] The two-part vision: reforming pediatrics and reclaiming allopathic medicineResources Mentioned:Danish Study on 1.2 Million Children Settles the Vaccine-Autism Debate | ArticleCan You Catch A Cold?
