In this episode, Trudy McKanna, Senior Field Medical Director for GRAIL, discusses how Galleri multi-cancer early detection technology is transforming screening by identifying signals for more than 50 cancers through a simple blood draw. She explains how methylation patterns, cell-free DNA, and machine learning allow clinicians to pinpoint potential cancer origins before symptoms appear. Trudy shares data showing that adding this test to standard screening detects seven times more cancers, with over half found at early stages, while maintaining a remarkably low false-positive rate. She also highlights its impact on underserved communities, population health scalability, and the importance of rigorous clinical validation.  Tune in and discover how early detection can transform cancer outcomes!

Clonal mast cell disease is often missed because symptoms vary from person to person, tryptase levels can be normal, and bone marrow biopsies are hard to get. For some people, unexplained or very severe anaphylaxis may be an early sign of a clonal mast cell disease. In this episode, we review “Prevalence of KIT D816V in anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation,” published in October 2025 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. This paper, known as the PROSPECTOR trial, is looking at how often the KIT D816V mutation can be found using a blood test in adults who have had anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation symptoms. We break down why KIT D816V matters, how it connects to systemic mastocytosis, why HaT needs to be considered, and how newer blood tests may help doctors catch clonal mast cell disease earlier. What we cover in our episode about KIT D816V and anaphylaxis: Setting the stage: Understanding mast cell activation and anaphylaxis. Why KIT D816V matters: How this mutation fits into clonal mast cell disease, what blood testing can reveal, and when doctors still turn to a bone marrow biopsy. Making sense of tryptase and hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HaT): Why baseline tryptase, the “20% + 2” rule, and HaT can make screening more complicated than it seems. What the PROSPECTOR trial uncovered: How often KIT D816V appeared in people with anaphylaxis, and other results on tryptase and HaT. How this helps patients: What these findings mean for anyone with unexplained or severe anaphylaxis, and how doctors combine KIT testing, tryptase, HaT, and symptoms to decide on next steps.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, functional medicine expert and nutrition specialist, to unpack a condition that's more relevant to cancer survivors than many realize - gout. Although often associated with historical figures and rich feasts, gout can be a painful complication for those undergoing cancer treatments. Saranne, herself a long-term Stage IV cancer survivor, brings her signature humor and curiosity to the topic. As Jacqui explains, gout's root cause is the buildup of uric acid, and certain chemotherapy agents, medications, or kidney issues can trigger debilitating flare-ups. Together, Saranne and Jacqui break down how symptoms can be confused with common treatment side effects, why it matters for anyone in the cancer community, and what steps can be taken to prevent and manage this “disease of kings.” Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With her wide-ranging background in functional medicine, she offers practical, food-first strategies to help individuals manage side effects from cancer treatments and live healthier lives. Jacqui is recognized for her commitment to educating and empowering patients and their loved ones through nutrition, lifestyle, and supportive care. "Diets that are high in fiber trigger microorganisms that are in your gut to produce short chain fatty acids that actually resolve gout-associated inflammation." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Gout can be a side effect of cancer treatments like chemotherapy or medications such as diuretics, making it important to recognize and manage for cancer patients and survivors·     Symptoms of gout, especially severe joint pain, can easily be mistaken for medication side effects, underlining the need for medical evaluation·     Gout results from the buildup of uric acid, which can crystallize in joints and cause intense, sometimes immobilizing pain·     Diet plays a crucial role in managing gout; reducing red meat, shellfish, high-fat dairy, alcohol, and sugary drinks can help prevent flare-ups·     Incorporating low-purine foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and especially cherries, can lower uric acid levels and inflammation·     Hydration is essential, as drinking enough water helps flush excess uric acid from the body·     Maintaining a healthy body weight and eating at regular intervals are effective strategies in reducing gout risk and supporting overall health·     Patients should partner with healthcare providers to monitor symptoms and adjust dietary or medication plans as necessary for gout prevention and management 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by  Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

This week I ran into something online that made my ophthalmologist brain short-circuit: a brand-new CDC statement about autism and vaccines that… let's just say does not follow how science actually works. So I'm breaking down the logic, the frustration, and why “prove it's not true” is one of the worst arguments in medicine. Then, because I can only rant for so long before needing to retreat into eyeball science, I walk through two new “Signs & Symptoms” differentials, light sensitivity and anisocoria. Plus, I got strep throat on a cross-country flight, which I do not recommend at age 40. Takeaways: Why the CDC's new autism/vaccine phrasing misunderstands the entire concept of scientific evidence. How to think about light sensitivity like an ophthalmologist (hint: start with the cornea). A simple trick for figuring out which pupil is the abnormal one in anisocoria and why it matters. Why strep throat hits like a freight train once you're over 35, especially in the middle of a business trip. A reminder that neuro-ophthalmologists are magical creatures who can diagnose a Horner syndrome with nothing but a dark room, a penlight, and an unreasonable amount of patience.

Do you feel like you get crazy histamine intolerance symptoms as your body reacts to everything — certain foods, smells, stress, or even the weather? Symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, dermatographia, angioedema, bloating, or headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere are often linked to histamine intolerance.But before you blame your diet and dive headfirst into a low-histamine diet, know that food isn't likely to blame. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that there are deeper, more pressing issues that drive urticaria and chronic hives.Let's dive into why you probably don't have histamine intolerance (despite having all the symptoms), how histamine intolerance differs from MCAS, and what's really triggering these crazy histamine reactions. From mold exposure to liver detox issues and hormone imbalances, we explore how these hidden factors can lead to ongoing inflammation and itchy skin that just won't quit.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- FREE Root Cause Finder Guide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/rootcauseguide-pod - See all the references

Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table? Or maybe you've heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you're wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you're actually supposed to buy. If you're anything like me — or my clients — you're probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed. There are so many options… and let's be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut. That's why today, I'm breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love. I'll walk you through:who each powder is best for,why my clients liked it,and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion. And make sure you stay until the end — because I'm revealing the TOP recommendations LAST. I'll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what's going on in your body — whether you're dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut. As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds.

Send me a question or story!Solar dermatitis (actinic keratosis) is skin damage from prolonged UV exposure, affecting both dogs and cats, particularly those with light-colored or thin coats. So, pets that have white fur and live in high UV exposure areas (like the southern US) are predisposed. Symptoms include redness, scaling, hair loss, and thickened, crusty skin. Commonly affected areas include the nose, ears, abdomen, and inner thighs. This condition can lead to more severe issues, including pre-cancerous lesions and aggressive skin cancer like squamous cell carcinoma. We will discuss ways to identify this disease and treatment options such as CO2 laser ablation, etc.00:00 – Intro04:06 – Nasal Solar Dermatitis06:32 – Classic Canine Solar Dermatitis08:15 – Treatment Options for Solar Dermatitis16:52 – Outro

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression triggered by reduced sunlight during the fall and winter months, disrupting the body's circadian rhythm, serotonin levels, melatonin production, energy, mood, and sleep. Symptoms include low mood, fatigue, increased sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, and a sense of heaviness that lifts as spring returns. Effective treatments include bright light therapy, CBT, medication when needed, consistent routines, exercise, outdoor exposure, and community or spiritual support. Natural and alternative approaches—such as Vitamin D, omega-3s, herbal supports, dawn simulators, red/infrared light, thermal therapy, aromatherapy, improved nutrition, and creative or social engagement—can complement clinical care and help stabilize mood during winter.Because SAD affects the entire person—mind, body, and nervous system—many benefit from chiropractic care, posture correction, massage, craniosacral therapy, acupuncture, breathwork, and cold/contrast therapy, all of which help regulate tension, improve sleep, enhance breathing, and restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. Integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual practices—such as breath-prayer, embodied posture, Scripture reflection, and daily routines of light—can ground hope and resilience. With the right support, SAD is a highly manageable condition, reminding us that emotional winters are temporary and that the light always returns.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about SAD!

In this conversation, Sherry sits down with Natalie Jurado, founder of Be Rooted In, to explore one of the most overlooked yet life-changing minerals: magnesium.If you've struggled with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, burnout, muscle cramps, headaches, hormonal imbalance, chronic stress, or that “tired but wired” feeling… this episode will open a new door.Natalie shares her journey — from sleeping only two hours a night and having public panic attacks to reclaiming her nervous system, peace, and vitality through magnesium.1. Natalie's Story: From Panic to PeaceNatalie describes a season of snapping at her kids, constant anxiety, panic attacks in grocery stores, lack of sleep, and juggling business and motherhood. After countless tests and dismissals, a customer suggested magnesium. Within a week of topical magnesium chloride, her sleep improved from two hours to six, and panic attacks stopped — sparking her life's work.2. Why So Many Are Magnesium DeficientMagnesium is stored mostly in muscles (60%) and bones (40%); only 1% is in the blood, so deficiency often goes undetected. Deficiency is common because: chronic stress, caffeine, alcohol, sugar (54 molecules of magnesium per sugar molecule), and exercise drain magnesium. Getting enough through food alone? You'd need 10 cups of raw spinach daily. No wonder 70% of people are deficient.3. Stress, Cortisol & MagnesiumMagnesium supports the parasympathetic nervous system — “rest, digest, repair.” Stress burns magnesium, which makes regulating stress harder. Magnesium acts as a brake for the nervous system, and deficiency keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight. Culturally, we normalize burnout; magnesium offers a physiological path back to calm.4. Symptoms of DeficiencyCommon signs include headaches, migraines, insomnia, restless legs, cramps, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and depression. These are not “normal” — they are signs of a depleted nervous system.5. How Do We Know If We're Getting Enough?Food high in magnesium includes leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate. But stress, diet, lifestyle, and environment affect absorption, and food alone may not suffice.6. Types of MagnesiumNatalie breaks down 11 types:Avoid: Oxide (4% absorbed), Carbonate — mostly wasted.Prefer: Glycinate (sleep, anxiety), Malate (energy, muscles), Threonate (brain fog), Sulfate/Epsom (baths, cramps), Chloride (creams, transdermal).7. Daily Magnesium RoutineNatalie spreads doses: cream after morning workout, supplement with breakfast, cream again in evening, and leg/foot application before bed to maximize absorption.8. DosageRDA is 350–400 mg for healthy people. Chronic stress, caffeine, sugar, exercise, or sweating increases needs. Natalie takes 700–800 mg/day. Magnesium is hard to overdose — the body self-regulates.9. The Heart Behind Her WorkNatalie's mission: stop unnecessary suffering, provide the information she lacked, and reduce needless doctor visits. Her work is service.10. Where to Find NatalieWebsite: BeRootedIn.comSocial: @berootedinYour TakeawaysAnxiety and exhaustion aren't “just” what they seem. Normal symptoms aren't always normal. Magnesium is essential for stress recovery, sleep, nervous system regulation, hormones, and mental health. Lifestyle factors impact magnesium needs. Don't let others define what's normal for your body. This episode is a permission slip to rethink your symptoms and reclaim calm.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr Chloe Saunders, a clinician and researcher specialising in functional somatic symptoms and the mind–body connection. We explore what it means when your body begins to talk and medicine doesn't always find the answer - fatigue, pain, gut issues and other flare-ups that don't quite show up on scans.Dr Saunders helps us understand why these symptoms are real, even when traditional tests are normal, how our stress response lives in the body long before our mind catches up, and why paying too much attention - or too little - to bodily signals can both perpetuate the problem.This is a conversation about finding that middle ground: rebuilding trust in your body, calming its alarm system, and discovering practical ways to bring physiological rest back into your life.If you've ever been told “everything looks fine” yet something still doesn't feel right, this episode might help you hear what your body is trying to say and how to listen.Find Chloe:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-saunders-410a9b203/Bodysymptoms: https://bodysymptoms.org/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

He emphasizes the significance of free testosterone levels, the symptoms of deficiency, and the risks associated with high testosterone. Dr. Tassone also critiques common methods of testosterone replacement, particularly pellets and injections, advocating for safer alternatives for women. He highlights the benefits of testosterone for bone health and debunks myths surrounding hormonal balance, encouraging women to seek proper care and not settle for inadequate treatment. Episode Highlights: Testosterone is the most abundant hormone in women Why low testosterone is often overlooked in women's health Why Free Testosterone is crucial for understanding hormonal health Symptoms of low testosterone in women Why hormone testing should be comprehensive How high testosterone can lead to negative health effects Why pellets and injections are not recommended for women Reasons topical creams and sublingual tablets are safer alternatives How testosterone can significantly improve bone density Debunking the myth that women need to balance estrogen before starting testosterone Episode Resources: Dr. Tassone's Free Women's Health Journal Club | Dr. T's Evidence Edit Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

Episode Highlights From KatieThe concept of the “Four Horsemen” of chronic disease and why 85% of people over 50 die from one of these conditions.What these diseases share in common: long, silent development over years or decades before symptoms appear.Why traditional screening often catches disease too late. And how new data and AI tools can identify risk far earlier.The difference between 10-year risk scoring and lifetime risk (and why most people never receive the latter).Why cancer screening is age-based rather than risk-based and how this overlooks key early indicators.How AI-driven assessments like Catch use massive datasets to calculate disease risk more accurately than traditional methods.What I learned from my own cancer risk assessment and why it shifted my thinking about proactive health.Why foundational lifestyle inputs (sunlight, vegetables, oily fish, hydration, minerals, sleep, movement, and avoiding chronic inflammation) are more powerful than supplements in reducing long-term disease risk.The connection between allergies, immune signaling, inflammation, and long-term disease patterns.How early lifestyle patterns influence future metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive health.Simple, data-backed ways to lower lifelong risk starting today without fear, overwhelm, or chasing expensive solutions.Resources MentionedCatch

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über eine Situation, die fast jede Frau kennt: Der Tag lief gut, du hast dich an alles gehalten – und am Abend kippst du in Sekunden in diesen Satz: „Boah bin ich im Arsch… ich brauch jetzt irgendwas." Kurz darauf folgt der Killer: „Jetzt ist es eh schon egal." Genau dieser Moment sorgt dafür, dass Abnehmen nicht klappt – nicht wegen Disziplin, sondern wegen einem komplett falschen System. In dieser Episode erfährst du: • warum der Kontrollverlust abends NICHTS mit Willenskraft zu tun hat • die vier wahren Ursachen, die deinen Abend sabotieren – Unteressen am Tag – emotionale Erschöpfung – mentale Verbote – alte Belohnungsmuster • warum der Abend nur das Symptom ist – und niemals das Problem • wie du deinen Tag so strukturierst, dass abends gar kein Absturz mehr entstehen kann • und wie du in 3 konkreten Schritten sofort mehr Stabilität bekommst Du bekommst am Ende einen klaren, sofort umsetzbaren 3-Schritte-Plan, der deinen Abend heute schon verändert – kein Gerede, keine Theorie, sondern echte Praxis. Wenn du abends immer wieder die Kontrolle verlierst und dich fragst, warum du „tagsüber perfekt" bist und „abends völlig eskalierst" – dann ist diese Folge für dich. ______________________________________________ Hier geht´s zum unverbindlichen Beratungsgespräch: https://daniel-groeber.de/termin Mein Buch „Hunger beginnt mit einer Sehnsucht" bestellen: https://gloryworld.de/hauptautoren/michael-stahl/216/daniel-groeber-hunger-beginnt-mit-einer-sehnsucht

In line with a key update from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), this episode explores all things vitamin B6. Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss the serious issue of vitamin B6 toxicity, and emphasise the importance of reading labels carefully, as many supplements contain hidden ingredients that can lead to health complications. The conversation also explores the growing trend of supplement use, why professional guidance is essential, and why a diet rich in whole foods is the safest way to meet your nutritional needs. The TGA has announced stronger safety controls for products containing vitamin B6, where products containing 50mg or more will (from 1 June 2027) require advice from a pharmacist or a prescription from a doctor to be available for sale - to reduce the risk of nerve damage from long-term high-dose use. You can read the full update here: https://www.tga.gov.au/news/media-releases/stronger-safety-controls-be-introduced-products-containing-vitamin-b6Consumers should always check labels for vitamin B6 (also called pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, or pyridoxal) and seek medical advice if experiencing symptoms like tingling, burning, or numbness in hands or feet.Foods rich in magnesium: Nuts, wholegrains, legumes (like lentils), dark green vegetables, avocadoFoods rich in Vitamin B6: Meat, chicken, peanuts, tofu and soy products, oats and some fortified breakfast cereals, bananas, watermelon and milk.

Millions of women say the same thing in their late 30s and 40s “I don't feel like myself anymore.” Fatigue grows, stress tolerance collapses, brain fog hits, and everyday tasks suddenly require more effort. Yet most are told it's “normal aging,” “just stress,” or “anxiety.”In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with functional medicine expert and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder to ask the hard questions about perimenopause, what it is, when does perimenopause start, and why rage, irritability, and cognitive changes are often the earliest symptoms women experience.Together, they unpack why perimenopause is widely misdiagnosed, why progesterone decline shows up long before hot flashes or missed periods, how estrogen fluctuations affect brain function, and why so many women feel like their identity, mood, and capacity are suddenly slipping away.From mood swings, brain fog, and sleep crashes to metabolic slowdowns and rising visceral fat, this conversation reframes perimenopause symptoms as hormone-driven neurological and physiological shifts — not personal weakness, aging, or lack of willpower.You will learn what perimenopause is, what age perimenopause starts, why rage and irritability show up first, and how to track early hormone changes through menstrual patterns, symptoms, biometrics, and stress physiology. Dr. Taz and Dr. Mariza also share lifestyle tools, boundaries, morning and evening routines, and targeted support that help stabilize brain energy, mood, and metabolic health during this transition.Dr. Taz and Dr. Mariza discuss: • What is perimenopause and why it hits earlier than women expect • When does perimenopause start and what age perimenopause typically begins • Why perimenopause rage is real and often the first warning sign • Perimenopause brain fog, cognitive shifts, and declining stress tolerance • Progesterone decline, estrogen fluctuations, and why hormones become unpredictable • Perimenopause vs aging: why symptoms are dismissed or misdiagnosed • Mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and the identity shift many women feel • Early metabolic changes in perimenopause and why belly fat increases • How to track symptoms, cycles, HRV, sleep, and biomarkers for early clues • Tools women can use: routines, nervous system regulation, boundaries, lifestyle resets • When progesterone or estrogen support can make a meaningful difference • Why community and sisterhood become critical for emotional resilienceAbout Dr. Mariza Snyder Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women's health expert, hormone educator, and bestselling author of The Perimenopause Revolution. With over 15 years of clinical experience, she helps women navigate perimenopause and midlife with clarity, confidence, and science-based tools that support hormone balance, brain health, emotional resilience, and metabolic vitality.

As middle aged women, we all know what it's like to be exhausted. Not the kind of exhausted where you need a nap—the kind where you've been running on fumes for so long you forgot what actual energy feels like. You're already doing everything you can to eat well, exercise, get better sleep and cut back on the wine. You've probably got rows of supplements lined up on your counter like little soldiers. You do lots of research and see  holistic practitioners because your health is important to you. And it's not so much that something is wrong–it's that something isn't right. Here's what you're missing: you can't expect your symptoms to improve if you haven't corrected the root cause–which is energetic. It's the patriarchal programming that makes you feel like your self-worth is tied to your productivity. It's the part of you that doesn't know how to relax because relaxing literally doesn't feel safe. My guest today is Hope Pedraza. She's a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner who uses human design as a diagnostic tool—and before you roll your eyes, stay with me. She combines the labs, the data, the science, with your energetic blueprint to show you exactly where the disconnect is. How you're designed to operate versus how you're actually living.  In this episode, you'll learn: → What human design actually is (and the science behind it—yes, there's science) → The connection between your energy centers and specific organs—and how emotional patterns literally show up on your labs → Why it's physiologically impossible to change your habits when you're in survival mode → The two-step process to start repatterning your operating system   If you are ready to get support from a community of women who are co-creating this change with intention and clarity— Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL.    Do you want help from Colleen with a situation you're struggling with?

In this episode, Molly exposes micromanagement as a symptom of deeper system flaws—not a people problem. She shares how building confidence in your systems, not adding more oversight, frees leaders from daily chaos. Discover how clear communication and structured reporting create trust, autonomy, and unstoppable team momentum. Key Takeaways: Micromanagement is a symptom of deeper systemic issues related to communication and confidence in the organization's operations.  Shifting from task-based management to leadership-driven frameworks allows for better team autonomy and efficiency. Training your team to understand and anticipate the needs of leadership significantly reduces unnecessary interruptions. Transparency about how decisions are made and information is processed builds team capability and morale Organizations like Law Firm Emma Boot Camp provide valuable resources and frameworks to eliminate micromanagement by optimizing firm systems.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!A tap on the shoulder at the Kotel. Two deer in an empty cemetery at dawn. Those moments of impossible timing launch a candid, practical journey into self-esteem, why it slips, and how to bring light back when life feels dim. We connect the sacred and the everyday, then get specific about what low self-worth looks like when it shows up in real life.We unpack 14 common patterns: imposter syndrome that lingers long after the first week on the job, avoiding social scenes out of fear rather than temperament, and relationships that wobble when we ask partners to fill holes we haven't faced. We draw a hard line between healthy thrills and not caring if you live, explore hypersensitivity and modest presence, and dismantle the myth that you must be the best to be worthy. You'll hear how people-pleasing masquerades as kindness, how perfectionism quietly becomes procrastination, and why your health can mirror your emotions.There's a relationship toolkit here too. The “sunscreen love” idea sticks: compliments protect, criticism burns. We show how fishing for compliments keeps you stuck in outside approval, while specific, sincere praise regenerates trust. We talk fake confidence, practical “rejection therapy,” and the daily skill of resilience—especially in marriage—where acceptance beats control. We challenge snap judgments (the “stuck up” label often hides shyness) and call out gossip as feathers scattered on the wind. We also examine attention economics in modern media and the lure of looks-based fixes when insecurity drives the choice.If you've felt the sting of comparison or the silence of feeling not enough, this conversation offers a map back to steady ground: add light, guard your attention, replace criticism with earned praise, and practice resilience until confidence becomes your default. If this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the one insight you'll act on this week.

Despite millions of us being exposed to psychiatric drugs, doctors, patients and families know very little about the harmful effects of psychiatric drugs. They know almost nothing about long-term harmful effects and even less about withdrawal effects. It's almost taboo to talk about stopping psychiatric drugs. Millions of people think they need psychiatric drugs because their feel dreadful when they try to stop them; but they don't need drugs--the need to learn to how to stop taking them. His new book, Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, describes many of the reasons to stop taking psychiatric drugs and shows how to withdraw from them as safely as possible. Peter R. Breggin MD is a psychiatrist in private practice Ithaca, New York. Dr. Breggin is a worldwide leader in psychiatric reform who is called "The Conscience of Psychiatry." He founded the Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy, and has written more than 20 books including Talking Back to Prozac and Toxic Psychiatry. His new book is Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

It was out of bounds for Lane Kiffin to accept the LSU job and also think he could keep coaching Ole Miss. That's what Jonathan Zaslow thinks. He also says Alabama has a shot at nabbing a top four spot with a win in the SEC Championship. In the NFL, parity is ruining and making everything interesting. (Side note: every time you watch the Lions do you think to yourself, maybe it was Ben Johnson all along?) Then we get intel on the Chiefs collapse with former Chief lineman Geoff Schwartz. He also gets into the weeds with Mike Tomlin and team dynamics and why a veteran like Cam Heyward losing his mind on Josh Allen is bad omen.

SIBO is usually described as “too much bacteria in the wrong place,” but what if it's really an overgrowth of emotional responsibility, guilt, and other people's chaos living in your gut? In this episode, Heather McKean explores the emotional and metaphysical blueprint behind SIBO—over-responsibility, self-punishment, delayed reactions, fear of change, and inherited family patterns. Through a client story and practical reflection questions, she shows how restrictive diets can often reinforce the very emotional architecture that created the problem in the first place. You'll learn how to begin releasing what was never yours to carry, rebuild trust with your body, and support true healing using the Mind Change method.  Episode topics:

Americans were already losing touch with basic decency before Trump came along—and he exploited that indecency, distrust, and division to win power. In his new novel, George Packer spins a story of an imaginary country that just collapses, and how ordinary people have to learn to live together again. Fiction has a way of making the real world more clear. Plus, Charlie Kirk's influence on our political climate before his death, JD's phoniness and lust for power, Trump may be flailing but he's still amassed immense power, and how AI moving us away from the written word threatens our democracy.

Episode 207: Understanding Hypertension and Diabetes (Pidjin English)Written by Michael Ozoemena, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.HypertensionSegment 1: What Is Hypertension?HOST:Let's start with the basics. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Think of it like water running through a garden hose—if the pressure stays too high for too long, that hose starts to wear out.Hypertension, or high blood pressure, means this pressure is consistently elevated. It is measured using two numbers:Systolic: the pressure when the heart beatsDiastolic: the pressure when the heart relaxesNormally reading is around 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension is defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) as 130/80 mmHg or higher.The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) defines hypertension as persistent elevation of systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure, with the diagnostic threshold for office-based measurement set at 140/90 mm Hg or higher.Segment 2: Why Should We Care?HOST:Hypertension is known as “the silent killer” because most people have no symptoms. Even without symptoms, it steadily increases the risk of:Heart attackStrokeKidney diseaseThink of high blood pressure as a constant stress test on your blood vessels. The longer it goes uncontrolled, the higher the chance of complications.Segment 3: What Causes High Blood Pressure?HOST:Hypertension usually doesn't have a single cause. It often results from a combination of genetic factors, lifestyle, and underlying medical conditions.Modifiable FactorsHigh-salt diet and low potassium intakePhysical inactivityTobacco useExcessive alcohol intakeOverweight or obesityChronic stressPoor sleep or sleep apneaNon-Modifiable FactorsFamily history of hypertensionBlack race (higher prevalence and severity)Age over 65Hypertension may also be secondary to other conditions, such as kidney disease, thyroid disorders, adrenal conditions, or medications like NSAIDs or steroids.Segment 4: How Is It Diagnosed?HOST:Diagnosis requires multiple elevated blood pressure readings taken on different occasions. This includes office readings, home blood pressure monitoring, or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.If you haven't had your blood pressure checked recently, this is your reminder. It's simple—and it could save your life.Segment 5: Treatment and ManagementHOST:Lifestyle changes are often the first line of treatment:Reduce salt intakeEat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grainsAim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per weekManage stressMaintain a healthy weightGet enough sleepLimit alcoholQuit smokingIf these steps aren't enough, medications may be necessary. These include:Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Calcium channel blockers, Beta-blockersYour healthcare provider will choose the best medication based on your health profile.Segment 6: What You Can Do TodayHOST:Here are three simple, actionable steps you can take right now:Check your blood pressure—at a clinic, pharmacy, or at home.Pay attention to your salt intake—much of it is hidden in processed foods.Move more—even a 20-minute daily walk can help reduce blood pressure over time.Small steps can lead to big, lasting improvements.SummaryHypertension may be silent but understanding it gives you power. Early action can add healthy years to your life. Take charge of your blood pressure today.Diabetes1. Wetin Diabetes Be and Wetin E Go Do to Person Body?Q: Wetin diabetes mean?A: Diabetes na sickness wey make sugar (glucose) for person blood too high.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I break down a problem I see all the time in our industry: identity drift. When your purpose, priorities, and daily practices stop lining up, the entire business starts to wobble. I walk through the identity compass and show how it helps you get centered again so you can make decisions that actually move the restaurant forward. If you feel pulled in a hundred directions or unsure why your growth has stalled, this conversation will help you refocus on what matters and clear out the noise holding you back.  TakeawaysYour purpose isn't a tagline. It's a compass for every decision.Priorities reveal your real beliefs; budgets and calendars are your true mission statements.What you invest in is what you believe.The real mission statements are lived through repetition.Burnout isn't caused by effort, it's caused by confusion.Alignment gives your effort direction.Start by writing your restaurant's one line purpose.Audit your spending to match your purpose.Add a branch head question for pre-shift lineups.Eliminate one tactic that isn't serving your compass.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Full Comp and AI Toolkit01:55 Understanding Identity Drift in Restaurants05:45 The Identity Compass: Purpose, Priority, and Practice07:34 Practical Steps for Realignment and ImprovementIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

We unpack polyvagal theory, starting with neuroception, the body's below-conscious radar that constantly scans for danger or safety. When that radar gets oversensitive after stress, adversity, or trauma, it misreads harmless cues as threats. The result is chronic dysregulation that fuels neuroplastic pain, fatigue, gut issues, and anxiety—even when your logical mind says, “I'm fine.”We walk through the four core states—ventral vagal (safe and social), sympathetic (fight or flight), fawn (people-pleasing and perfectionism), and dorsal vagal (freeze and shutdown)—and connect each to common symptoms and relationship patterns. Instead of chasing a fantasy of being calm 24/7, we focus on flexibility: noticing your current state, understanding what it's trying to protect, and building the capacity to move through it. Planning for the holidays? We share a simple, compassionate game plan: map likely triggers, pre-load regulation breaks, recruit a “safe person,” and choose exits without guilt. Every small rep of shifting from alarm to safety teaches your body a new pattern, and over time, pain often eases as sleep, energy, and joy return. If you're ready for deeper guidance, our therapy team works across most Canadian provinces and our Somatic Safety Method course is available worldwide with education, practices, and live Q&A.

When OCD symptoms fade, it's natural to feel relief — maybe even believe it's finally gone. But sometimes, that relief can make us miss the signs of OCD returning in new and surprising ways.In this episode, I'll talk about why parents often overlook new OCD themes and what we can do differently. We'll explore how tunnel vision, limited communication, and lack of education about OCD's many disguises can cause us to miss the early signs of a relapse. You'll learn how to celebrate progress without letting your guard down — shifting from a “cured” mindset to one of ongoing recovery. We'll also cover how to stay educated, keep open communication with your child, and recognize when new behaviors may actually be OCD in disguise. Because when we know what to look for, we can catch OCD before it takes the wheel again.Resources mentioned in podcast:Uma Chatterjee websiteAT Parenting CommunityVideo: OCD is Like an OctopusMy YouTube channel***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Why Ziggy's Chaos, Your Frustrations, and God's Wisdom Might Be the Wake-Up Call You NeededIf you've ever been overwhelmed by someone's behavior, frustrated by a situation, or ready to flip a table over the symptoms in your life—this episode is your turning point. This Proverbs 25 breakdown reveals why your biggest battles are never about what you see… they're about the root beneath it all. This video unpacks the Inchstones behind the phrase my Pops ingrained in me: “It's nothing but a symptom, boy! Focus on the root!”For the past week, my dog Ziggy has been acting absolutely wild—peeing in the house like he's on a mission. And I felt myself sliding into the old version of my dad I call “DAD,” the tough-love, no-nonsense, fire-breathing, “get it together” Pops. But right as I was about to snap, I heard his real voice—the voice of wisdom:“Don't react to the symptom, boy. Focus on the root.”This episode goes deep into:• Why symptoms in people and situations aren't the real problem• How Proverbs 25 invites us to breathe, slow down, and see clearly• Why intense heat purifies—and how frustration is often a refining fire• The power of speaking life, staying humble, and choosing patience• How God exposes roots when we trust Him fully• Why miracles require faith and why you'll need that faith for where you're goingIf you've been irritated, disappointed, overwhelmed, confused, or wrestling with someone you care about… this one hits home. This is your reminder to pause, refocus, and anchor yourself in the wisdom God has already given you.If this episode lifts you, challenges you, or brings clarity, be sure to subscribe, comment, and share this with someone who's dealing with their own “Ziggy moment.”Grab your copy of Inch Stones: The Vibe Within and start transforming your life one Inchstone at a time.https://a.co/d/4CYg4vGAnd don't miss the next VIBE Room—March 11 in Carlsbad.

What Actually Makes Hypnosis Work: The 20% That Creates Real, Lasting Change Most people—clients and hypnotists—believe hypnosis works because of the induction or the perfect script. However, real transformation doesn't happen because of a technique. It happens because of the 20% of hypnosis that truly drives change. In this episode, Penny explains what actually makes hypnosis work. Whether you want fast, lasting personal results or you're learning how to facilitate change for others, this episode shows you the essential principles behind effective hypnosis.   Why Most People Misunderstand Hypnosis Many hypnotists learn too many tools without understanding the principles that make those tools effective. As a result, they overthink sessions, lose presence with clients, and struggle with confidence. Clients often misunderstand hypnosis too. They may doubt whether change can happen for them or feel unsure about what should happen in a session. This episode clarifies the core elements that make hypnosis work for both sides of the chair.   The 20% That Creates 80% of the Change Penny breaks down the essential elements that create real transformation: 1. Presence True change begins before the induction. Presence helps the hypnotist hear what clients say—and what they don't say. This leads to deeper insight and stronger rapport. 2. Process Using a clear, criteria-based process removes guesswork and builds confidence. Clients feel safe and hypnotists stay grounded. 3. Precision Precision allows you to target the root cause rather than chasing symptoms. This is where real identity-level change begins. These three elements form the foundation of hypnosis that works.   Why Clients Sometimes Doubt Hypnosis Many clients don't know what hypnosis should feel like. This can create doubt, especially if they've had past sessions with only temporary results. Penny explains how criteria-based hypnosis helps clients clearly recognize when they're in hypnosis. When clients understand what's happening, they trust the process more—and results deepen.   Symptom Relief vs. Identity-Level Change Most approaches try to fix a behavior or symptom. That may help for a while, but the deeper pattern remains. This is why clients often feel stuck. Identity-level work—supported by the Identity Matrix™ method—goes beyond symptom relief and works with emotional resonance, belief structures, and the subconscious identity itself. This is the part of hypnosis that creates lasting transformation. The Other 20%: What Clients Do Between Sessions Hypnosis works best when clients support the change through aligned action, self-talk, and daily awareness. Penny explains why: A new neural pathway needs reinforcement Old stories and self-talk can weaken results Small choices between sessions either strengthen or disrupt progress This understanding empowers both clients and new hypnotists to approach transformation as a collaboration.   Who This Episode Is For: Clients If you want hypnosis that creates real, lasting change—this episode shows what to look for.   New or Aspiring Hypnotists If you're overwhelmed by techniques or unsure what actually creates results, this episode brings clarity and confidence.   Key Takeaways Hypnosis works because of presence, process, and precision—not scripts. Too many techniques create overwhelm and weaken the session. Clients need clear evidence of hypnosis to trust the process. Symptom relief is not the same as identity-level change. Emotional resonance is the entry point to most subconscious work. Real change continues between sessions through self-talk and choices. If you want to understand hypnosis on a deeper level—or you're curious about becoming a hypnotist—listen to the full episode. You'll experience a clearer, more grounded view of what actually makes hypnosis work.  

Segment 1 • Todd is joined by Megan Basham for a conversation about today's theological and political hot topics. • Todd asks: what's the draw behind Nick Fuentes for so many young men? • Beneath the controversy lies a deeper question: why does the church no longer satisfy these men? Segment 2 • By and large, the church isn't effectively addressing the roles of men and women. • Young men are craving clarity on strength, purpose, and leadership. • The vacuum of biblical masculinity gets filled by loud, angry substitutes. Segment 3 • “Muscular Christianity” is rising — in part as a reaction to soft preaching. • Feminism, porn, and passivity have deformed both genders — and the pulpit rarely names it. • The church must reclaim a vision of holiness, courage, and self-sacrifice in male leadership. Segment 4 • Feminism blurred gender roles — and now both men and women are disoriented. • The fix isn't anger; it's discipleship — training men to lead, protect, and love like Christ. • Recovering biblical manhood begins not online, but in the local church. ___ Thanks for listening!

Antidepressants like SSRIs are strongly linked to hyponatremia, a dangerous drop in blood sodium that disrupts nerve and muscle function The risk is highest in the first two weeks of treatment, when sodium levels plummet to life-threatening lows that trigger confusion, seizures, or fainting Older adults, especially women over 80, are among the most vulnerable, with nearly 1 in 15 experiencing profound sodium loss after starting these drugs Symptoms of drug-induced low sodium often mimic worsening anxiety or depression, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary increases in medication Natural strategies like optimizing nutrition, restoring key vitamins and minerals, daily movement, sunlight exposure, and restful sleep offer safer ways to support mood and energy without creating sodium imbalances
