How can you feel relatively ok and brush off your nagging symptoms as “normal”? What you don't realize is that they are not normal, just common. The signals are our body's only way of communicating, but we have either forgotten or not been taught how to listen.   Key Takeaways: - Any symptom, no matter how common, is never normal. - Systemic inflammation is at the root cause of most of our symptoms and diseases. - There isn't a single pharmaceutical drug out there that can fix it - only lifestyle changes.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

We've all seen the programs promising to “fix” your money mindset. But are they truly helping women step into power, or just selling us the same story in a shinier package? In this conversation with Suzanne Longstreet, master mindset coach, NLP trainer, and co-author of The Millionaire Codes, I ask the questions many of us are secretly thinking: ✨ Do women actually need more money mindset coaching, or do we need a new system altogether? ✨ How much of our struggle is “limiting beliefs” vs. systemic barriers like patriarchy and pay inequity? ✨ Why confidence often trumps competence in the workplace (and how that leads to narcissistic leaders). ✨ What it takes to stop apologizing, start owning your authority, and rewrite the rules of leadership. This one gets real. I bring the spice, Suzanne brings the strategies, and together we unpack what it really means for women to lead, earn, and receive with clarity and confidence.

In this eye-opening episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast, host Amie Archibald-Varley and special guest Jerry Soucy unpack the landmark case of DonQuenick Yvonne Joppy, the ICU nurse who courageously challenged racial discrimination, wrongful termination, and retaliation in healthcare. Recently, a federal jury awarded $20 million to Joppy after finding that Aurora Medical Center (Colorado) had retaliated against her and discriminated against her because she spoke up.  During her employment, she was wrongfully accused of causing a patient's death (charges later dropped) and faced a hostile work environment, unequal workloads, disciplinary scrutiny, and barriers to promotion. In this conversation, Amie and Jerry: Trace the legal journey of Joppy's case and the jury verdict Explore systemic racism and retaliation in nursing Expose how hospital culture perpetuates bullying and silencing Center the voices of nurses of color who often suffer in silence Propose strategies for advocacy, accountability, and cultural transformation in healthcare This is an essential listen for nurses, leaders, administrators, and all who believe in a just, equitable healthcare system.

Physician Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Imposter syndrome is not a personal failing." Jessie explains how self-doubt among physicians is less about individual weakness and more about a conditioned mindset reinforced by medical culture. She describes how hypervigilance, relentless preparation, and constant comparison are framed as excellence but instead fuel overwork, burnout, and compliance with unreasonable demands. Jessie emphasizes that imposter syndrome may benefit productivity in the health care system but comes at a profound cost to physician well-being, sustainability, and patient care. She reframes self-doubt as evidence of growth rather than inadequacy and calls for a cultural shift that stops normalizing imposter syndrome as inevitable in medicine. Listeners will learn how recognizing systemic patterns and reframing self-perceptions can empower clinicians to thrive without sacrificing their health or authenticity.

Systemic racism continues to shape medical education, clinical practice and patient outcomes. It's a topic near and dear to Dr. Uché Blackstock—physician, health equity advocate, and New York Times bestselling author of Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Blackstock reflects on her own experiences as a Black woman in medicine, including a misdiagnosis during medical school that left her hospitalized. She also examines how historical policies, such as the Flexner Report and redlining, continue to impact today's health inequities. The episode also touches on bias in clinical decision-making and the urgent need to reframe medical training around social determinants of health. This conversation with Movement Is Life's Dr. Mary O'Connor and Dr. Hadiya Green is a call to action for everyone working to advance health equity. Registration is now open for the upcoming Movement Is Life Annual Summit on Friday, November 14, 2025, in Washington, DC. This year's theme is “Combating Health Disparities: The Power of Movement in Community.” Visit movementislifecommunity.org for more information.

Today's episode dives deep into the shocking realities of America's justice system, from South Carolina to Texas. We examine how decades of suspended sentences and judicial leniency allowed career criminals like Alexander Devonte Dickey to remain free, ultimately leading to the tragic death of Logan Federico. With firsthand testimony from her father, we uncover the systemic flaws, political influence, and legal loopholes that keep dangerous offenders on the streets. We also explore breakthroughs in cold case investigations, including the long-unsolved Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas, solved through modern DNA technology and persistent detective work, highlighting both the power and limitations of law enforcement. This episode exposes a justice system at a crossroads: the human cost of suspended sentences, the corruption baked into judicial appointments, and the life-saving potential of forensic innovation. It's a sobering look at how law, policy, and technology collide in cases of life, death, and accountability.

In this episode, we dissect one of South Carolina's most shocking examples of systemic failure in the criminal justice system. Alexander Devonte Dickey, a career criminal, racked up 35 years' worth of suspended sentences across multiple cases—all while judges repeatedly let him walk free. This pattern of judicial leniency culminated in the senseless murder of 22-year-old Logan Federico, sparking national outrage and a congressional hearing. We explore how South Carolina's unique judicial appointment system, political influence, and legal loopholes allowed this dangerous cycle to continue unchecked. Featuring unfiltered testimony from Logan's grieving father, we examine the consequences of a broken system, the role of prosecutors, and the urgent need for legislative reform to prevent future tragedies. From suspended sentences to systemic corruption, this episode reveals how the law failed and why justice must be reimagined.

Celebrate a decade of AlzAuthors with this replay of a film discussion from our first film festival! Marianne Sciucco and the AlzAuthors community gathered to discuss Susie Singer Carter's documentary series No Country for Old People, inspired by her painful but illuminating journey alongside her mother in a five-star Los Angeles nursing facility. Key Topics Behind the Film: Susie shares what drove her to make No Country for Old People, highlighting the persistent systemic crises in long-term care and her struggle to advocate for her mom within a broken system. She discusses both personal and policy challenges—from underfunding and understaffing to navigating Medicaid and family caregiver roles.Caregiving Realities: Multiple audience members and guests brought their own lived experiences—from those who have placed loved ones in care homes to those doing the daily grind at their side. Honest input covers the isolation and exhaustion of caregiving, the guilt and judgments faced, and the varied trajectories and needs of those with dementia.Systemic and Cultural Barriers: The episode reveals the complexities behind facility care: understaffing, high turnover, the business model of elder care, and how profit-driven motives can lead to neglect, overmedication, and a lack of dignity for residents.Advocacy and Taking Action: Susie announced the ROAR initiative—Respect, Oversight, Advocacy, and Reform for Long Term Care. She stresses the urgent need for grassroots collective action and oversight to drive meaningful change for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Standout Quotes from Susie Singer Carter “Love is super powerful. I think it's our greatest tool.”“Documentaries are not money makers. They are changemakers at best.”“We have a broken system... But it's so important to know what's out there and what's really happening.” Takeaways Caregiver stories are unique—what works (or doesn't) varies case by case.The importance of advocacy and family involvement doesn't end with placement in a facility; sometimes, it increases.Systemic reforms are desperately needed, and community effort can move the needle.Connection, creativity, and compassion remain vital tools in the caregiving journey.

Kat speaks with Caitlin, a productivity coach whose journey began with a life-altering health challenge at 18. Together, they explore how Caitlin turned adversity into a passion for sustainable productivity, meaningful work, and well-being. She shares practical strategies for building positive habits, navigating the modern world of AI and constant distractions. Caitlin provides a powerful reminder that small changes, self-awareness, and a growth mindset really can transform both your work and life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sustainable productivity balances achievement with well-being. Caitlin has a sight issue that gets worse with stress, anxiety and tiredness. Being productive helps Caitlin to stay balanced and well. AI tools can increase output but use them consciously and consider their broader effects. For example, using it to write everything for you can erode your writing skills and ability to communicate effectively. Don´t fall into the busyness trap. True productivity is about doing what matters most, not just filling time. Recognize that it's okay to leave some tasks unfinished. Focus on what's truly important and let go of perfectionism. Systemic and organisational issues exist but there is always things within your control that you can change. Small changes e.g. Scheduling focused work in the mornings and meetings in the afternoons can have a big impact on productivity and well-being. BEST MOMENTS "It isn't enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?" "Productivity is much more about that coalescence of output and quality and how we feel while we're doing it." "We are in an attention crisis... attention is becoming the rarest form of currency." "Habits are a lifelong commitment to being the best version of myself." "Life is an unending series of complications. We don't know what's going to happen, but we know something is coming. There's no point getting stressed about the fact it's coming." "Celebrate the small wins. Seeing the wins makes me feel great. Seeing the challenges makes me feel like, "Oh, I got through that, and I'm here." ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.

What makes this conversation so inspiring is the notion that, when we are working with individual leaders to strengthen their leadership practice, we are also supporting their teams, their families and their communities. We are not just supporting the individual but the entire system in which they are located.Sarah Cornally is a passionate leadership practitioner, and Partner at Acumen Global Partners. She is adamant 'systemic thinking' is the essential lens for anyone navigating the deep complexity of modern organisations. Sarah, KG and Paul dive straight into why understanding systems - rather than just individuals or silos - unlocks hidden dynamics, exposes entrenched patterns, and creates genuine possibilities for lasting change.And the 'magic sauce'? In the end, to be able to productively navigate the many contradictory demands of any complex system, success rests on the quality of relationships, and not just structures or policies. It's the quality of our connections that determines whether transformation fails or flourishes, and why what lies “under the table” must be brought to light for the whole system to grow and progress.And, as always, Annandale Cellars has generously provided an incredible bottle of wine to accompany this free-flowing conversation. On this occasion we crack open a bottle of 2023 Yohan Lardy Poppy Gamay.

Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes.

We talk about everything from scraping by (yes, including bankruptcy) to shifting money beliefs, setting up systems that don't burn you out, and what success really means when you're living it your way. If you're creating a course, running a membership, or coaching clients—and you want both growth and heart—this one's for you. Key Takeaways Alignment of Values + Goals is Essential Don't build a business purely for revenue—clarity on what you really want (freedom, purpose, legacy) will drive more consistent, fulfilling decisions. Mindset around Money is One of the Biggest Leverage Points Many blocks live in our beliefs about worthiness, safety, and identity. Shifting these unlocks more possibilities than just increasing efforts or marketing. You Can Raise Your “Money Set Point” What you believe is possible financially becomes a ceiling unless intentionally expanded. Recognizing and shifting money beliefs (especially those rooted in childhood or culture) is powerful. Sustainability Needs Both Internal Work & External Systems Working on mindset alone isn't enough; you also need business systems—processes, finances, team, operations—that support growth without burnout. Redefining Success Might Mean Different Metrics for You Success doesn't always mean “seven figures.” It might mean freedom, alignment, making an impact, or living on your terms. It's okay (and powerful) to define it for yourself. Systemic & Generational Context Matters Women, people from marginalized backgrounds, or those with less financial inheritance often have additional layers of challenge. Recognizing this helps in compassionately dismantling barriers.

Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about menopause.     Women's health issues, from menstruation to menopause, have long been overlooked in workplaces, schools, even families. But, increasingly, those issues are coming to the fore. Women are finding their voices and speaking up about the things that impact them every single day. And finally people are paying attention.   Menopause has been hitting the headlines. Many organizations are starting to look more closely at the impact of menopause in the workplace, and what it really looks like to be a more supportive, inclusive employer.    But where do they start? Awareness, policies and procedures, workplace accommodations, health and wellbeing – there's a lot to consider.   Our guests will be shining a light on it today. They'll be exploring what menopause is and what it can look like for women, the stigma and negative connotations attached to menopause, and how organizations can better support women in the workplace.       IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.15] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO ·       Nadine – Creative Director and Founder of Mayana ·       Claudia – Retired Global Supply Chain Executive, DEI Champion and Community Activist   [07.08] The group discuss what menopause is, the common symptoms, and what it's really like for women as they navigate this transition.   “One billion women will be in menopause at this time. So it's a very lucrative opportunity, and it's also a very predatory environment.” Nadine    “It's a natural stage of life that most women experience between the ages of 44 and 55. And, given that women represent 40% of the workforce today – and growing! – its impact on the workplace is a really critical topic.” Claudia   ·       Stages of menopause (peri-menopause, post-menopause) ·       Psychological symptoms o   Mood changes o   Anxiety o   Lowered confidence o   Second-guessing o    Feeling a loss of control o   Rage o   Loss of patience ·       Physical symptoms o   Hot flashes o   Night sweats o   Joint pain o   Weight gain o   Sexual impact o   Lack of sleep ·       Cognitive symptoms o   Brian fog o   Inability to concentrate ·       Claudia's positive experience of training, awareness and education at IBM ·       Understanding the impact on women in the workplace ·       Identifying symptoms ·       Encouraging women to ask for help/speak up ·       Link to aging ·       Cultural differences in symptoms ·       How menopause impacts women's tolerance level for things they've been socially conditioned to quietly accept   ·       Empathy ·       Vulnerability ·       Public display of private health ·       Uncomfortable ·       Weaponization/reclaim of language   “It's a stage of life that's typically experienced in the latter stages, so it identifies as aging. I identified as getting older. So did that diminish my value to the organization, did they think I could still lead innovation when, suddenly, I'm an older member of the team?” Karin “Black women are the last to get diagnosed, they're the last to get help. And that's where we're seeing these big disparities. The menopause space was predominantly white-facing, and there was not a lot of information for racialized people, so the goal for us is to have that conversation. Because when we're serving everyone, everyone benefits.” Nadine “I started making jokes that I wasn't having hot flashes – I was having power surges! But, in making those jokes, it opened the floor to discussion.” Karin “To have something so personal and health related happen, it amplified that I was female in a room full of males. Not that I tried to dress like men, or act like men – but I never really tried to call out that I was female.” Karin     [36.06] The panel explore the negative connotations around menopause, the stigma of aging, and how we talk about menopause, to ourselves and to each other.     ·       Tackling stigma ·       Creating awareness ·       Open conversations ·       Education ·       Women leaving the workplace ·       Feeling of diminished value and vibrancy in the workplace ·       Shame ·       Women often internalize struggle/‘suffer in silence' ·       Interplay with personal life ·       Who's responsibility is it to change the conversation/challenge the stereotypes/tackle the stigma? ·       ERGs/women's groups ·       Systemic issue ·       Creating community ·       Safe spaces ·       HR   “I was a diversity and women's network leader for many years, and it wears you out… I would like to see more engagement with HR to help fuel some of these things to create awareness and reduce stigma. It can't all be on the women.” Claudia   [50.34] The group discuss the impact of menopause on women in the workplace, and how organizations can better support women to thrive, not just survive. ·       Clear and inclusive policies, processes and procedures ·       Confidentiality ·       Consideration of non-binary and trans people ·       Sick leave/menopause-related absence   ·       Manager training ·       Sensitivity ·       Informed conversations ·       Legal obligations/compliance ·       Identify appropriate accommodations ·       Access to resources ·       Health benefits  ·       Employee assistance programs ·       Menopause champions ·       Peer support groups   [58.04] The panel reflect on the different ways women can take control of their own health and wellbeing during menopause. ·       Advocacy ·       Try something different ·       Therapy ·       Alternative medicine ·       Medical referrals/recommendations ·       Keeping records ·       Taking control    ·       Assessing the symptoms that are having the biggest impact on quality of life ·       Keeping a symptom diary ·       Proactive approach to health    ·       Understanding triggers and managing responses  ·       Non-judgement   [01.03.58] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Karin, Nadine and Claudia over on LinkedIn.

The cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Sean “Diddy” Combs highlight the complexities of holding powerful individuals accountable for systemic abuse and exploitation. Epstein, a financier with global connections, operated an international sex trafficking network for decades, leveraging his wealth and influence to evade scrutiny. Despite overwhelming evidence, a controversial 2008 plea deal allowed him to escape significant consequences, sparking outrage and exposing flaws in the justice system. His 2019 arrest, fueled by survivor advocacy and public outcry, marked a turning point, but his subsequent death in custody left many questions unanswered and denied survivors the full justice they sought. Epstein's case exposed systemic failures, from complicit enablers to legal loopholes, and has since become a symbol of how privilege can distort accountability.Diddy's case, though distinct in scope, reveals similar dynamics of power and impunity within the entertainment industry. Accused of sexual abuse, physical violence, and intimidation, Diddy allegedly used his status as a music mogul to exploit and silence victims for decades. His remand to custody in 2023 reflects a growing cultural shift toward accountability in an industry often criticized for its culture of silence and complicity. Both cases underscore the systemic structures that enable abuse, challenging society to confront these power dynamics and demand reform. While their outcomes remain pivotal, Epstein and Diddy's cases serve as stark reminders that justice must be blind to status, and that societal complicity must be dismantled to protect the vulnerable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This episode dives into a critical article arguing that the diving industry too often fails to learn effectively from fatalities, not because of individual mistakes, but due to systemic shortcomings. It distinguishes between “first stories”, simple narratives that assign blame, and “second stories”, deeper explorations into context, drift from safety standards, and the normalisation of deviance.The tragic death of Linnea Mills is used as a case study, showing how multiple factors, equipment incompatibility, insufficient supervision, and the challenges of a remote location, aligned to create a disaster. Rather than focusing only on compliance or individual error, the article calls for a systems-based approach to safety: stronger feedback loops, better emergency preparedness, and a culture where speaking up about risks is encouraged.For divers, instructors, and responders, this also underscores the importance of effective pre-hospital care. Here are key resources:Divers Alert Network: First Aid & Emergency CareWHO: Prehospital Trauma Care SystemsNAEMT: Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)EMS World: Best Practices in Prehospital CareBy combining systemic safety improvements with robust pre-hospital care readiness, the industry can better prepare for emergencies and reduce the likelihood of preventable tragedies.You can read the blog post here: https://www.thehumandiver.com/blog/we-don-t-learn-from-diving-fatalities-and-here-s-whyYou can contact Gareth Lock here: https://www.thehumandiver.com/contact-us-2025

In this episode of Eco-systemic Leadership Coaching, Smita R sits down with grief support coach Aniket Anjali Pohekar to explore the often-overlooked role of grief in organizational life. Aniket defines grief as a natural response to loss, moving beyond the misconception that it only relates to death. He emphasizes its systemic impact on teams and organizations, making it a critical leadership concern. The conversation introduces a three-pronged approach to grief support: individual coaching for those experiencing loss, leader coaching to build compassionate leadership, and HR policy development to create sustainable structures of care. Both Smita and Aniket stress the power of empathetic presence and clear communication in supporting grieving colleagues.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, content creator and TikTok whistleblower and educator, angelic singer, my dear, sweet friend, and a beautiful soul shattering the silence with her truth: Sophia HaggertySophia is a beacon of resilience, a survivor who has emerged from the depths of long-term, extreme child abuse with an unyielding spirit. Her childhood was marred by an array of horrors: verbal, physical, emotional, psychological, religious, sexual, and financial abuse; coercive control; intrafamilial child sex trafficking; ritualistic, sadistic, and satanic ritual abuse; near-death experiences from systemic torture; and torture-based mind control programming. Yet, Sophia's story is not one of defeat but of defiance, a testament to the power of the human soul to overcome unimaginable trauma.The shadows of generational trauma loom large in Sophia's family, though their full extent remains unclear. Sophia's parents were her primary abusers, even going to the extent of manipulating her brother to harm her - a burden she refuses to place on him, recognizing that they were all children ensnared in a cruel game. Her father, whom she believes to be psychopathic, hinted at his own unresolved trauma, possibly from his own mother's cruelty, but this never softened his actions toward Sophia. Behind their outward Christian facade, her family wielded a darkness that left no room for mercy.From this dark abyss, Sophia is forging a bright path of purpose and healing. In July 2024, she began publicly whistleblowing, initially as a way to cope with her pain. By March 2025, her voice grew sharper and more specific, and in the last couple months alone, her story has captivated over 2,000 followers and garnered 200,000 views across her top three videos. Her courage has sparked a movement, resonating with countless others who see their own struggles in her truth.  Now pursuing a degree in cloud computing, Sophia is driven by a fierce ambition to become a digital forensic expert, using technology to track down predators and protect the vulnerable. Her dreams extend further - she hopes to study law and psychology, arming herself with the tools to dismantle systems of abuse. Music, particularly singing, has been her lifeline, a sacred space where she could soothe her pain when all else was stripped away. Raised to believe rest was weakness, Sophia was deliberately overworked and destabilized, but she is now learning to slow down and embrace joy, one melody at a time.DONATE TO SOPHIA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/2f9931b05CONNECT WITH SOPHIA: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theshatteringsilence?lang=enYouTube: @RogueOmenSystem - https://www.youtube.com/@UCQocoldmFjh-PxnDtHxgkIgCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationSupport the show

In this episode, Tom and Chloe sit down with chef-turned-homesteader Gaz Oakley to explore his remarkable journey from the high-pressure kitchens of Cardiff and London to a more grounded life growing food and foraging in the Welsh hills. With 1.8 million YouTube followers, five cookbooks, and a deepening connection to land, Gaz shares how food, nature, and simplicity became the foundation of his transformation.This honest conversation explores the systemic challenges of modern living, the healing power of growing your own food, and how small acts like growing herbs on a windowsill can become a radical form of resistance.Key TakeawaysNature deficiency is real. Gaz describes the anxiety and disconnection he felt in city life — and how growing his own food and spending time outdoors radically improved his wellbeing.Food is medicine. From fermenting tomatoes to foraging yarrow, Gaz has reimagined food not just as fuel but as nourishment for body, soul, and soil.Start small, grow meaningfully. Whether it's a tomato plant on a windowsill or an allotment plot in the city, Gaz encourages listeners to take accessible first steps towards food autonomy.Authenticity over aesthetics. Despite his large digital following, Gaz speaks candidly about the tension between online influence and offline peace, and his longing to connect with people in-person through real-world projects.Music, clothing, and relationships change.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments. This episode is about root cause solutions — supporting balance, reducing inflammatory debris, and nourishing the body so it can do what it was designed to do: heal and thrive.Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeKyolic Moducare Daily Immune SupportVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesNatural Factors L-Glutamine PowderGet Well Stay WellN.O.

We just swapped button eyes for car loans, streaming subscriptions, and empty political promises.

From false safety nets to corporate traps, we'll expose the fluff and get serious about independence. You'll learn: • Why comfort is the cage and growth is the key. • How to audit your own “teddy bears” and cut the fluff. • A tactical challenge to replace fake comfort with real competence. Stop hugging the stuffing. Start building freedom. Live free. Train smart. Question everything. Train. Build. Reclaim. Welcome to the Rogue Nation.

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with Patrick Pianezza, co-writer of the new EMS film “Code 3”, a deeply honest and compelling portrayal of life on the ambulance. The film stars Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), Lil Rel Howery (“Free Guy”) and Aimee Carrero (“Elena of Avalor”), delivering a powerful performance that captures both the pressures and the humanity of EMS work. Using real-world experiences and stories from the field, “Code 3” highlights the passion, dedication and emotional toll experienced by EMS professionals every day. From burnout, to systemic challenges, the movie invites the public into the high-stakes world of emergency medical services, showing both the challenges and the heart behind the uniform. Patrick and Rob discuss not only the storytelling process, but also the personal experiences that informed the movie. Pianezza candidly shares the emotional toll of EMS work, the reality of burnout and the importance of mental health support for first responders. This episode is both a celebration of the dedication of those who serve in 911 and a call for awareness and gratitude for the vital work they perform. “Code 3” opens in selected cinemas on Sept. 12, 2025. Memorable quotes “I remember going to one of my old bosses and saying, ‘I think I'm burning out.' The reaction I got was this dark chuckle … ‘We're all burnt out. Get back on the truck.' That kind of festering mentality is not healthy.” — Patrick Pianezza “Six out of six people that I have worked with have unfortunately [died by] suicide, and the suicide rates for first responders is double that of the regular population … which is a statistic we need to fix.” — Patrick Pianezza “And it is … a good representation of life on the truck, on the street, with a guy who's clearly burned out; but a person that cares, that has passion, commitment and will always do the right thing.” — Patrick Pianezza “There was no way to confront the story without talking about salaries, without talking about reimbursements … No one's gonna see a movie about Medicare, Medicaid, but we are as honest as we can be.” — Patrick Pianezza “This movie is nothing more than a gratitude tour for everyone who works in 911 … I'll be a broken record here: thank you for what it is that you do because it matters. I've been in those boots and I'm here to tell you thank you.” — Patrick Pianezza “And as I say in my review, those who know me know my ability to take tactical naps during movies. Well, this one got two eyes open and absolutely five stars.” — Rob Lawrence Episode timeline 00:00 – Introduction: Rob Lawrence introduces Patrick Pianezza and the film “Code 3” starring Rainn Wilson 02:31 – Origins of “Code 3:” How the project started and the vision behind telling an authentic EMS story 05:01 – Creative team & casting: working with actors, crew and Rainn Wilson 08:01 – On-the-Street authenticity: translating real EMS experiences into the film 12:01 – Depicting burnout: emotional and mental challenges in EMS work 16:01 – Mental health & seeking help: Autobiographical elements and confronting burnout 20:01 – Systemic issues: salaries, Medicare, and Medicaid reimbursement challenges 24:01 – Impact on families & relationships: emotional toll beyond the job 27:01 – Personal reflection: Patrick's journey, struggles and growth in EMS 29:01 – Gratitude tour: purpose of the film and acknowledging EMS professionals 32:01 – Closing thoughts: film release details, upcoming trailer and final messages of appreciation Enjoying the show?

In this episode, I speak with Peter about his work with “last chance couples” -- couples on the brink of separation who are putting in potentially one final effort in therapy. Peter first gives us a history of how he began specializing in this demographic of couples, the cornucopia of therapeutic models he brings into his work, and the particular challenges these types of couples pose to the therapeutic approach. He speaks about the creative relational movement approach to change which he employs to break a couples' systemic cycle of fighting. A common issue that these “last chance couples” have, is there is often very little to no internal motivation left to employ a change to their dynamic. Within this creative relational change approach, Peter speaks to the four premises that are important for the couple and therapist alike to understand to get on board with this process, and which of the four premises is most controversial to the field of psychology. He also talks about naming vulnerability as a good way to break the cycle of angry fighting, the challenges of a detached partner, and the often gendered dynamics that can either play into or disrupt the cycle of fighting. Peter shares four research-supported suggestions for couples to increase both the therapeutic credibility and therapeutic outcomes and the five most common “last chance couple” scenarios, including one he discovered after the publication of his book on the subject. Finally, Peter zooms out and leaves us with the big picture concept of how couples can adopt relational values to use as a compass to better guide their relationship on a daily basis. Peter Fraenkel, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Psychology at City College of New York; former faculty at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and NYU Medical Center; and is in private practice in New York City. He is the author numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters, and the books Last Chance Couple Therapy: Bringing Relationships Back from the Brink (2023, Norton); Sync Your Relationship, Save Your Marriage: Four Steps to Getting Back on Track; and is co-author of The Relational Trauma of Incest: A Family-Based Approach to Treatment. Peter lectures and conducts therapist trainings internationally. He received the American Family Therapy Academy's 2012 award for Innovative Contribution to Family Therapy. He is a former Vice President and former Board Member of AFTA, a Board member of the Minuchin Center for the Family, and a reviewer for several family therapy journals. Peter is also a professional drummer and percussionist, and has performed and recorded worldwide.

On this follow-up to episode #566, Jared takes systemic enzymes one step further by laying out practical protocols for real-life concerns. While the last show explained what systemic enzymes do and why they matter, this episode focuses on how to use them—and how to combine them with other targeted supplements to give the body the tools it need to truly heal rather than just mask symptoms. Jared lays out protocols that address the root causes behind pain and inflammation, and abnormal tissue growth as in scar tissue and adhesions, fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis. If you listened to episode #566 and wanted to know “what do I actually do next?” this show provides the answers with clear, actionable strategies. You'll come away with step-by-step dosing guidelines, companion supplement recommendations, and a roadmap for addressing both symptoms and the root causes behind them.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back Mike Kramarchek to dive deeper into systemic enzymes and their benefits beyond cardiovascular which they discuss in episode #530. Here, they unpack how enzymes support the body's natural ability to break down unwanted protein-based tissue. From fibroids, masses, cysts, and endometriosis to scar tissue and autoimmune conditions, systemic enzymes are shown to help the body restore balance by breaking down tissue, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and supporting immune modulation. This episode also explores the synergy of enzyme blends like Fibrenza, the importance of addressing root causes such as endocrine disruptors, and complementary practices like castor oil packs and detox support. If you've ever wondered whether surgery is your only option for many of these issues, this conversation offers clarity and hope.Keep an eye out for the next two episodes, #567 and #568 for complete protocols on how to optimally use systemic enzymes for your health needs!Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeEndoCleanseLiverVitalityMixhers (Vitality Radio POW!

Guest: Forrest Smith — serial founder bringing clinic-grade photobiomodulation to a safe, wearable form factor. Theme: Why dose and delivery matter more than raw wattage for red light therapy.Key takeawaysWavelengths that work: Deep red 660 nm (blood flow, NO release, shallow penetration) + 808 nm near-IR (deeper tissues/joints).Mechanisms: Hemoglobin photodissociates NO → vasodilation + better O₂ delivery; mitochondria's cytochrome c oxidase bottleneck relieved → higher ATP output; downstream: resilience to oxidative stress.Performance & recovery: Overnight reductions in CK and CRP let athletes train sooner; UFC PI and USA Weightlifting use cases mentioned.Brains & microvessels: Near-IR protocols tied to BDNF and microvascular improvements—an emerging Alzheimer's angle.Dosing > device hype: Class-1 lasers allow precise, reproducible dosing to deeper targets; panels/LEDs spread light too broadly and shift dose by distance (inverse-square).Safety & contraindications: Class-1 lasers are eye-safe in normal use; titanium implants OK (osseointegration may improve). Pregnancy and active cancer: regulatory contraindications despite encouraging early data.Personal protocol (example): 15 min over carotids + 15 min lower abdomen (gut) upon waking; higher-melanin skin generally needs longer time at same power.Resources & links (from interview)Kineon: kineon.io Chapter markers (approx.)00:00 Why red light now? 00:34 Mission: measurable QoL at scale 03:02 Risks of NSAIDs vs alternatives 03:34 660 nm + 808 nm explained 05:34 Newer NIR bands (905–1064 nm) 07:39 Penetration depth: red vs NIR 08:34 Photoacceptors & evolution (melanin) 10:28 Hemoglobin, NO, and O₂ delivery 12:02 Mitochondria & ATP bottleneck 14:06 Brain protection & TBI athletes 14:34 CK/CRP drops & faster training 15:55 Dosing by melanin level 17:49 Implants, pregnancy, cancer notes 21:22 Biphasic dose curve; laser classes 25:26 LEDs vs lasers; panels' dose drift 27:50 Strongest evidence areas (wound, knee OA) 29:33 Gut–brain, BDNF, microvasc/Alzheimer's 31:46 Forrest's daily protocol (neck + gut) 34:00 Systemic effects; fertilLies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinMimio Health (LUFKIN for 15% off) https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...

Episode 2687 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Laura Buchanan to discuss fears behind the Women's Health Initiative and the many benefits of hormone therapy. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/benefits-hormone-therapy-episode-2687 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Benefits of Hormone Therapy Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the number of medications a person needs to take. (2:30) The number of drugs that are being prescribed keeps increasing; however, how much and for how long can the body take multiple medications without further debilitating the body? (7:00) Vinnie has questions about hormones. (14:00) The Women's Health Initiative announcement was based on incorrect information and a flawed study. The downside is that fear still surrounds it many decades later, so women have been denied treatment options. Dr. Buchanan explains how the study was done and the flaws within it. Hormone Therapy can be so impactful for a woman's life. (28:30) There are many options available today for estrogen, progesterone, and, if necessary, testosterone. Treatment can increase quality of life. Both transdermal and vaginal estrogen can be highly effective for all kinds of symptoms. (34:00) Vinnie asks about DHEA. (41:00) DHEA is more complicated because it's the precursor to the other hormones. Bioidentical hormones are regulated appropriately by the FDA. Testosterone does not appear to increase prostate cancer risk. However, if you are on treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, it should not be taken. (54:00) Systemic estrogen (as in patches) is approved for bone loss prevention. (57:00) It also helps decrease cardiovascular risk, anxiety and depression, dementia, diabetes, and many other health issues. The closer you start it to menopause, the more helpful it is.

Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation co-founder Corey Feist and physician advocate Kim Downey discuss their article, "Health workers deserve care too: How to protect their mental health." They highlight the ongoing mental health crisis facing the health care workforce, where CDC data shows mental health is worse than in any other segment, yet only 38 percent of those in distress seek care. Kim shares personal anecdotes that reveal the immense pressure and stigma physicians face, while Corey outlines the systemic barriers that prevent healers from getting help. The conversation centers on the six crucial actions from their "Health Workers Have The Right, Too" initiative, providing a concrete roadmap for employers and policymakers. Corey and Kim argue for practical solutions like confidential peer support, the removal of invasive mental health questions on licensing applications, and accessible, affordable care that works for a 24/7 workforce. Their core message is clear: To ensure patient safety, we must first build a system that protects the well-being of our health care workers. Careers by KevinMD is your gateway to health care success.
