“ALMOST MARRIED TO THE MOB: HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES WHO DATED MOBSTERS” - 1/19/2026  (123) In this episode, we slip into the shadows where classic Hollywood glamour meets organized crime, exploring the classic Hollywood actresses who found themselves romantically entangled with real-life mobsters. At a time when studios tightly controlled female stars' images, these notorious bad boys offered something intoxicatingly different: raw power beyond the backlot, fierce loyalty, protection from predators both on and off the screen, and a rebellious thrill that defied Hollywood's carefully scripted rules. Drawn by charisma, thrills and maybe even a little danger, these women navigated a world where diamonds, nightclubs, and whispered threats coexisted with premieres and press junkets—and where love could be as risky as it was seductive. This week, we're looking at the romantic entanglements that occurred when the mob meets Hollywood.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Tinseltown Gangsters” The Rise & Decline of the Mob in Hollywood (2024), by Jeffrey Sussman; Handsome Johnny: The Life & Death of Johnny Rosselli, Gentleman Gangster, Hollywood Producer, CIA Assassin (2018), by Lee Server; Double Cross: The Explosive Inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America (2016), by Sam Giancana, Chuck Giancana, & Bettina Giancana; Hollywood & The Mob (2011), by Tim Adler; An American Mafioso: The Johnny Rosselli Story (1991), by Charles Rappleye; Detour: A Hollywood Story (1988), by Cheryl Crane; Lana: The Lady, the Legend, The Truth (1982), by Lana Turner; “Sam Giancana: Chicago Godfather, CIA Collaborator, And The Man Who May Have Put JFK In The White House,” May 16. 2024,  by Carly Silver, ATI.com; “Two Survivors: The Scandalous Saga of Lana Turner and Cheryl Crane,” June 8, 2023, by Hadley Hall Meares, Vanity Fair; “Actor Lana Turner's Daughter Kills Turner's Gangster Lover,” 2022, by Thomas DeBose, EBSCO.com “New Allegations Emerge About Marilyn Monroe's Final Hours,” May 11. 2012, CBSNews.com; “The Gangster and The Goddess,” April 1999, by Patricia Bosworth, Vanity Fair; “Killers Gave Rosselli Drink, Shot Him in Belly,” August 10, 1976, by William Tucker, The Miami News;  “The Thug.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing.                                                Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and  cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU!                                                                                                                          Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean?                                 Anonymous: Hi Dr. C  I did the SMMT in June,  cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot.,  I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while.  Off HRT, numbers were very high,  doing estrogen sup and prog. supp.  dhea low ad u an supplementing with that.   T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now.  my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it.   I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in.   Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly.  I also do the vision support   i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s  to looking sagging and old in my early 60s.  i feel so much better than i did but what's happening?  .  I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked.  The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol   Mercury and Aluminum elevated  .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol.   i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern.  Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well.  it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address.  Thank you for all your guidance and support.      Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)?

Send us a textAcupuncturists first encountering Applied Channel Theory are sometimes confused about apparent differences between Dr. Wang's diagnostic approach and more common diagnostic models which focus on patterns arising from the Zang Fu (脏腑/yin-yang organs). In this episode, Jonathan Chang and Jason Robertson discuss how a diagnostic model which places channels at the center can be reconciled with so-called "TCM" style. In fact, the discussion explores how a familiarity with Zang Fu diagnosis is indispensable.Music by The Strayun: Clancy of the Overflow.

“HABITS, COLLARS & CLOSEUPS IN CLASSIC CINEMA” - 1/12/2026 (122) Classic cinema has always had a fascination with clergy and nuns — not just as religious figures, but as real people caught between faith and the challenges of the world. When these characters take center stage, the stories often become less about doctrine and more about conscience, compassion, and moral choices.  Sometimes with a good dose of humor thrown in. In today's episode, we're going to dive into classic films that put nuns and clergy at the heart of the story. The characters portrayed are thoughtful, conflicted, sometimes heroic, and always deeply human, with stories that explore grace, hope, and the consequences of our choices.  This week, we take a look back at some unforgettable films where the collar or the veil isn't just a costume—it's the core of the story.

EPISODE 121 -  “RICHARD BASEHART: CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH” - 1/05/2026  RICHARD BASEHART wasn't the flashiest of actors, but he certainly was one of the most versatile. He always brought such haunting depth and emotional intensity to his roles, often portraying characters teetering on the edge of psychological turmoil. With his piercing blue eyes and floppy blonde hair, his sensitive, brooding presence gave him the appearance of an erudite or a poet. And that voice! He had a fantastic baritone voice that could convey both vulnerability and menace. He really excelled at playing sensitive, troubled men—sometimes deeply introspective, other times psychotic or dangerously unhinged. From his chilling portrayal of the deranged killer in “He Walked by Night” (1948) to the tormented clown in FEDERICO FELLINI's “La Strada” (1954), Basehart always infused each performance with a profound humanity, sensitivity, and quiet strength, making him one of the most compelling and underrated actors of his generation. This week we honor him as our January Star of the Month.

Send us a textThe truth is out: If your clients are struggling with slow healing, relentless fatigue, or impaired milk production, the cold food in their diet is the root cause.

Discover the concrete, scientific mechanisms that validate the Warming Foods Principle and learn how to integrate this critical postpartum nutrition strategy immediately, giving your clients the rapid, foundational recovery they deserve. It's time to stop letting modern convenience trump functional healing!Check out the episode on the blog HERE. Key time stamps: 00:30: The universal consensus: Traditional postpartum care systems across the globe mandate warm foods.04:15: Examples from TCM, Ayurveda, Latin American, African, and European traditions.11:47: Why modern medicine dismissed this ancient wisdom as superstition (reductionism, male-dominated science).19:50: Physiological mechanism 1: Cold food impairs digestive enzyme function at 98.6°F.21:20: Physiological mechanism 2: Cold causes vasoconstriction, impairing blood flow and nutrient absorption.23:45: Physiological mechanism 3: Cold forces metabolic energy expenditure (thermogenesis) the mother can't afford.26:38: Physiological mechanism 4: Cold activates sympathetic "fight or flight," warm supports parasympathetic "rest and digest."29:10: The role of warming spices (ginger, cinnamon, turmeric) in promoting gastric secretions.31:45: The link between warm foods, optimal blood flow, and robust milk production.34:23: Addressing objections: Hot climates and the difference between "refreshing" and "beneficial."36:50: The power of the Three Pillars of Knowledge (Science, Stories, Practice) for optimal perinatal health education.NEXT STEPS:

Send us a textIn this special episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon steps into new territory by inviting two transformative guests: Eric Yuan from the San Mateo County Behavioral Health Department and Dr. Harry Ding, a fifth-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. Together, they discuss their innovative community program that bridges the gap between Western medical administration and Eastern holistic practices. Eric shares his personal testimony of overcoming a severe thyroid condition through Dr. Harry's care, which inspired them to serve over 1,200 patients by treating not just the body, but the mind and soul with "love as the best medicine."The conversation dives deep into the metaphysics of health, explaining the concept of "Chi" (life force energy) and how stagnation in specific meridians can manifest as emotional struggles like depression, anger, or worry. Dr. Harry breaks down the art of pulse diagnosis, explaining how a practitioner can detect mental health issues simply by feeling the rhythm of the blood flow in the wrist. He details how different positions on the left and right wrist correspond to internal organs like the heart, liver, and spleen, offering a window into a patient's emotional state without them saying a word.In a vulnerable and educational segment, Lira undergoes a live consultation and pulse reading. Dr. Harry analyzes her sleep patterns, digestion, and stress levels to reveal a "weak spleen" and "blood deficiency" caused by overthinking and irregular eating habits. The episode concludes with actionable TCM advice for listeners, including the importance of sleeping before 11:00 PM (liver time), incorporating red meats for blood regeneration, and drinking rose tea to release stress stagnation.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

In this episode of the Modern Aging Podcast, we explore the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how it can help you feel more balanced, energized, and resilient—especially as we move into the winter season. Joined by TCM doctor, acupuncturist, and herbalist Dr. Laurel Liu, we break down foundational concepts like yin and yang, the five elements, and liver chi stagnation in a way that's practical and easy to understand. Dr. Laurel shares how stress and emotions show up in the body, why TCM focuses on restoring balance instead of chasing symptoms, and how food, herbs, acupressure, and seasonal habits can support sleep, digestion, immunity, and even blood pressure. Whether you're new to holistic health or already familiar with Eastern medicine, this conversation is full of tools you can start using right away.

Flashdance leading man Michael Nouri sits down with Steve Kmetko for a wide-ranging, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about his decades in Hollywood — from Goodbye, Columbus and Flashdance to Broadway, Victor/Victoria, Yellowstone, and beyond. Michael looks back on the night the acting bug bit him in a high school Gilbert & Sullivan production, his early stage days with legends like Julie Harris, and bombing his very first movie line opposite Ali MacGraw in Goodbye, Columbus. He talks about trying to dodge the Vietnam draft, enlisting, and then being honorably discharged because the Army literally couldn't find boots big enough for his size-16 feet. Of course, he dives into Flashdance: the terrible reviews, the electric audience reaction, that rare standing ovation in Westwood, working with director Adrian Lyne, producers Simpson & Bruckheimer, and co-star Jennifer Beals (plus their canine scene partner, Grunt). He explains how the massive success of the film didn't translate into the career momentum he'd hoped for, the movie with William Friedkin that fell apart, and how he ended up in Bay City Blues alongside a then-unknown Sharon Stone instead. Michael also shares powerful stories from touring South Pacific right after 9/11 — including emotional nightly renditions of “God Bless America” with audiences arm-in-arm — and the chance encounter with Blake Edwards that led to him starring opposite Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, complete with a custom song by Henry Mancini. He reflects on aging in Hollywood, evolving from leading man to dads, granddads, and senators, still auditioning for filmmakers like Bradley Cooper, and staying grateful that the phone keeps ringing. Along the way, he remembers working with Sean Connery, F. Murray Abraham, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Kelly Reilly, and even Anna Nicole Smith, plus the life lesson he learned the hard way trying to approach Luciano Pavarotti backstage. He also opens up about political anxiety, the emotional toll of the news cycle, the importance of community, and why he now protects his peace by switching from cable news to TCM. And yes, we meet Charlie, his “heart on four legs,” and hear how daily meditation keeps him grounded after more than five decades in the business. If you love Flashdance, classic Hollywood stories, Broadway memories, and honest talk about surviving and adapting in this business, this episode is a gem.

12-15-2025. "HO! HO! HOLLYWOOD: SANTA CLAUSE IN CLASSIC CINEMA" (118) Long before special effects, CGI snowstorms, and big-budget holiday franchises, it fell to a small but memorable group of performers to embody the warmth, wonder, and whimsy of old St. Nick. Ever wonder about the actors who were called upon to portray Santa Claus in film and TV? These classic Santas weren't just men in red suits — they were character actors, vaudevillians, radio veterans, and Hollywood workhorses who brought their own unique spark to the role, shaping how generations of moviegoers came to imagine Father Christmas. From the twinkle-eyed charmers to the unexpectedly gruff curmudgeons, from the iconic to the nearly forgotten, we're unwrapping the stories behind the earliest portrayals that turned Santa into a cinematic tradition. So settle in with a mug of something warm, hang your stocking, and join us as we explore the jolly, joyful, and sometimes surprisingly complex history of Hollywood's first Santas.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARK (2025), from a screenplay by Lester Cole and John Wexley, a play from Ladislas Fodor, Jeffrey Dell and Bernard Merivale ("Blondie Wthe), the film is directed by Lloyd Bacon.  Francis Warren (Errol Flynn) is a wealthy, respectable stockbroker who secretly leads a double life as a successful writer of mystery novels under a pseudonym.  When a mysterious pearl necklace goes missing and a dancer who was involved in the crime turns up dead, Francis finds himself unwittingly drawn into the real-life murder investigation.  As he tries to use his fictional detective skills to uncover the truth, he struggles to keep his dual identity a secret from his wife and the actual police inspector on the case.  The film clocks in at 1 h 36 m, is rated approved and we previously watched it on TCM.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#FootstepsInTheDark # LadislasFodor #JeffreyDell #BernardMerivale #BlondieWhite #LloydBacon #ErrolFlynn #FrancisWarren #FXPettijohn #BrendaMarshall #Rita #RalphBellamy #DrDavis #AlanHale PoliceInspectorMason #LeePatrick #BlondieWhite #AllenJenkins #Wilfred #LucileWatson #Agatha #WilliamFrawley #Hopkins #RoscoeKarns #Monahan #GrantMitchell #Wellington #MarisWrixon #June #NoelMadison #Fissue #JackLaRue #Ace #TurhanBey #Ahmed #ScrewballComedy #Comedy #Crime #Mystery  @TCM  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! I am your host, Teri Wellbrock. You can listen in on Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Deezer, Amazon Music, and more, or directly on my website at www.teriwellbrock.com/podcasts/. You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Janet Young My name is Janet Young. I have been conscious of the subtle and invisible realms of energy as long as I can remember.  As a child I was a natural intuitive, empath and often saw and communicated with the dead. I had a childhood in the northwoods on a large farm. I was literally in the woods from sun up until sundown. This was my choice, I felt nurtured in the forest. The natural world is our foundation for life and a direct connection to Pure Creator Energy. As an adult I spent 5 years doing missionary work in the inner city of Chicago, had an intense NDE in my early 20's and later graduated from the Dovestar Institute of Holistic Technology. My studies included meditation, body alchemia, Reiki, massage therapy, reflexology and more. While learning massage therapy I instantly began seeing Animal Spirit Totems in my client's Chakras. I then took classes in Shamanic studies to gain understanding of the animal totems and began the practice of Shamanic journeys. I am also a certified Vipassana Meditation Teacher. As a massage therapist I have many advanced certifications including lymphatic drainage, prenatal massage, craniosacral therapy, hot stones, neuromuscular, sound healing, Shamanic Reiki, TCM acupressure, and more. I am mindful of the body, mind, spirit connection and often combine energy medicine modalities, meditation, and massage to achieve optimal results for my clients. Being certified in Sound Healing using Tuning Forks from the school of Acutonics and Soma Energetics, I have developed many ways to achieve Chakra balancing, both remotely and in person, creating harmony within my clients biofield. I have been a successful Reiki Master Teacher since 2008. I have seen many clients come to me with pain, ailments, and emotional energies that were stuck in their body or energy fields who found relief with my combined therapies. I have also enjoyed watching my Reiki students expand their skills, build confidence and receive all the gifts that becoming a Reiki practitioner brings! As a meditation teacher I have had many students who came to me believing that they could not meditate or could not achieve higher states of consciousness who leave my classes having achieved both. After working 20 years in the Healing Arts, combining Reiki with Shamanism and many other modes of psychic and energy healing with massage therapy, I would never compare one's visionary healing work to anothers. Reiki is as deep as YOU are. Limitless. We are all an infinite source of the Divine within us. ​I am happy to answer any questions about Reiki or what I teach, or how a chakra reading or massage session with me may be of help to you. Thank you!

From a chance viewing of Saul Bass' iconic 'Psycho' titles on TCM sprung this exploration of the straightforward, human experience of watching 'Psycho' with an eye and ear towards how audience expectations were stoked and then subverted by Hitchcock. From the casting of Janet Leigh to the surprise departure of her character not even halfway through the film, the film toys with audience expectations and loyalties, and makes them complicit in the voyeurism and violence and judgement that unfolds. Hitchcock's decision to attempt a relatively low-budget thriller of the sort directors like Henri-George Clouzot (Diabolique) were having success with resulted unexpectedly in his defining film, a film that changed film language and construction and that influenced every director of note subsequent to the film's 1960 release. From the legendary shower sequence to no-less-stunning dialogue sequences, the film is so much more than it's origins.  It still stands the test of time today, and will forever be a part of Hitchcock's enduring legacy.

EPISODE 117 -  “STEVE AND NAN DISCUSS: MOVIES ABOUT MOVIES” - 12/08/25  In the latest episode of From Beneath the Hollywood Sign, we pull back the curtain on the cinematic world of making movies about… making movies. We dive deep into the movies that reveal what really happens behind the scenes in Tinseltown—sometimes with affection, sometimes as a cautionary tale to be careful what you wish for. Movies like Sullivan's Travels (1941), Singin' in the Rain (1952), and Sunset Boulevard (1950), all offer a fascinating look at the machinations that go into making films. This week, we'll be discussing six lesser known moves that five us a peak behind the scenes and show us very different sides of the not-always-so-glamorous ways that Hollywood works. Across genres and generations, these films offer an insider's view not just of how Hollywood works, but of the dreams, delusions, and dramas that make moviemaking an art form all its own. SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IBDB.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: What Price Hollywood?

In this episode, we step inside The Rooted Refuge, a community-centered acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic founded by Dr. Christopher Peacock, whose approach blends  accessible healthcare and deeply personalized treatment. Dr. Peacock shares how growing up with sick parents in rural Ohio shaped his belief that healing must go beyond symptom management and instead focus on root-cause wellness. He explains the fundamentals of TCM—including acupuncture, herbs, tongue and pulse diagnosis—and how he tailors every treatment to the individual, especially for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, digestive imbalance, fertility challenges, and chronic pain. We also explore his mission to make acupuncture financially accessible through sliding-scale pricing, free clinics, and a collaborative practitioner model that reduces overhead to better serve marginalized communities. This conversation offers listeners an eye-opening look at how holistic medicine can be both effective and equitable.   To learn more about Dr. Peacock, visit therootedrefuge.com

Traditional Chinese medicine looks at your sex life very differently than Western medicine and honestly, it's VERY refreshing. In this episode, we're joined by Jaiming Ju, a 2nd-generation Chinese medicine practitioner and founder of Kun Health, to talk about how TCM understands libido, pain during sex, ED, arousal, and overall sexual wellbeing. We get into body patterns, energy balance, lifestyle habits, and what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you. We cover: How Chinese medicine understands sex and pleasure. Jaiming explains why sexual health is seen as a major indicator of overall wellbeing, not an isolated issue. Why pain during sex is never “just in your head”. How TCM views dryness, pelvic pain, tension, and discomfort and why it's almost always linked to imbalance, depletion, or circulation issues. Understanding libido changes. How arousal, desire, and lubrication map to warmth, energy, and hormonal patterns + how aging, stress, lifestyle, and depletion impact the body. ED from a TCM perspective. Why erections are about circulation, warmth, and “yang energy,” and what it means when interest and performance don't match. Tongue diagnosis and what it reveals about your sex life. Yes, your tongue really can show dryness, heat, coldness, stress patterns, or issues affecting libido. Why stress and exhaustion shut down desire. How nervous system overload, burnout, and irregular routines drain the body's resources and impact arousal.

EPISODE 116 -  “CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH: DICK VAN DYKE” - 12/01/25  Join us as we celebrate the life and career of someone who seemingly personifies joy — on-screen and off.  And maybe that's the secret to his longevity, because he is about to celebrate his 100th birthday on December 13.  Of course, we're talking about the one and only, DICK VAN DYKE, our December Star of the Month. His career spans The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and beyond. He's danced across rooftops, flipped over ottomans, and shared his personal struggles with alcoholism in order to shine a light on a horrible disease -- at a time when that sort of thing wasn't discussed. From his early years trying to make it in show business, to that breakout moment on Broadway, to becoming one of the most beloved stars on television and film - today, we celebrate the legendary Dick Van Dyke!  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: My Lucky Life in and Out of Show Business (2011), Dick Van Dyke; Columbia Pictures Press Release, (1968), by John C.

Med nogle af årets vigtigste forbrugsfester lige om hjørnet, fristes du måske til at købe aktier i smykkeselskabet Pandora. Men hvad er egentlig udslagsgivende for selskabets succes, og hvilke parametre bør du holde øje med, når du skal vurdere selskabet? Millionærklubben har inviteret to erfarne, men modsatrettede investorer i studiet: Lau Svenssen, der ikke kunne drømme om at købe aktier i selskabet og Helge Larsen, der mener, mange underkender Pandoras stærke brandingstrategier. Hør, om de kan nå frem til nogenlunde enighed, eller om de skubber hinanden endnu længere væk, når Millionærklubben dykker ned i aktien. I studiet debatteres også Novo Nordisk-aktiens seneste nedtur, og panelet ser desuden på dagens regnskab fra køkkenproducenten TCM.

“THE HOLMES ACTING DYNASTY: FROM STAGE TO SCREEN” - 11/24/25  (115) When we think of the great acting family dynasties of Hollywood, we often think of the Barrymores, the Carradines, or the Fondas, but today we'll be discussing another acting dynasty that may not be as familiar, but is every bit as interesting. The HOLMES family consisted of prolific character actor TAYLOR HOLMES, whose career spanned from Broadway to film to TV, his actress wife, EDNA PHILLIPS, and their talented children, PHILLIPS HOLMES, a leading man of the early 1930s, MADELEINE TAYLOR HOLMES, a gifted character performer in her own right, and actor RALPH HOLMES, whose early promise was tragically cut short. Joining us is special guest actress/musician MICHELLE HOLMES, who is a cousin of Taylor Holmes. Together, we'll explore how the Holmes family helped shape the Golden Age of Hollywood — and how their influence still lingers today.

An ode to a classic of French New Wave cinema – Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (A Bout de Souffle) – Nouvelle Vague is more than a heady film nerd love fest. It's a Linklater movie, which means it's a hangout film; it's just that the gang we're hanging with happens to be reinventing modern cinema, whether they know it or not.

In this solo episode, Darin Olien explores one of the most overlooked yet revealing health topics: the truth about wisdom teeth. What if removing your wisdom teeth isn't just unnecessary — but harmful? What if this long-standing dental ritual has more to do with profits than prevention, and its removal may even disconnect us from our body's natural energy flow? From evolutionary biology to energetic meridians, Darin unpacks why wisdom teeth might hold more "wisdom" than modern dentistry admits — and how to make truly informed choices for yourself or your kids.     What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00:00] Welcome to SuperLife – Darin introduces the show's mission: real solutions for a healthier, more sovereign life [00:00:32] Sponsor – ENERGYbits Spirulina & Chlorella: why Darin takes them daily for clean cellular fuel [00:01:52] Today's focus – "The wisdom in wisdom teeth": are we pulling them too soon and for the wrong reasons? [00:02:24] Why this topic matters – Darin's personal story of keeping all four wisdom teeth and what that revealed [00:03:31] The cultural norm – How mass extraction became a teenage "rite of passage" [00:04:01] Our ancestors and evolution – Bigger jaws, tougher food, and natural spacing [00:05:00] The breathing connection – How mouth breathing and modern diets may cause jaw constriction [00:06:01] The science gap – Cochrane review shows no strong evidence for routine removal [00:06:46] The silent epidemic – 10 million wisdom teeth removed yearly in the U.S., costing $3 billion [00:07:17] Permanent damage – 11,000 people a year experience nerve injury from unnecessary surgery [00:08:04] When removal is necessary – infection, cysts, tumors, or impaction (and how to know the difference) [00:08:33] The second opinion rule – Why you should always consult a holistic or biological dentist [00:09:11] Questioning authority – Extraction as an automatic response vs. an evidence-based decision [00:11:19] Follow the money – How profit motives keep unnecessary procedures alive [00:12:15] Cultural conditioning – "Just pull them" and how fear has shaped dentistry [00:12:47] Watchful waiting – Why monitoring can be a wise, legitimate option [00:12:58] The energetic layer – How teeth connect to meridians, organs, and your body's electrical system [00:13:46] Ancient knowledge – TCM and Ayurveda understood these energy flows long before modern medicine [00:14:03] The spiritual symbolism – Wisdom teeth as a rite of passage into maturity and integration [00:14:17] Energy interconnection – Removing one element affects the entire energetic system [00:15:05] The Western blind spot – Our medical model ignores the body's bioelectric reality [00:15:39] The real risks – Nerve damage, chronic pain, and post-surgical trauma are far more common than discussed [00:15:57] Economics over evidence – How financial incentives outweigh long-term wellness [00:16:08] The forgotten holistic view – Why true healing means considering biology, energy, and emotion together [00:16:22] What you can do – Get informed, ask questions, and don't rush to extraction [00:16:44] Empowerment checklist – Imaging, second opinions, and trusting your intuition [00:17:02] Keep your power – Don't give your health decisions away to "white coats" or outdated systems [00:17:24] If surgery is unavoidable – Do it consciously: prepare, recover, and restore energetically [00:17:50] Pre/post-surgery support – Rest, meditation, and mineral-rich nutrition [00:18:02] The deeper truth – Wisdom teeth represent the intersection of biology, energy, and consciousness [00:18:23] Final message – Stay informed, stay connected, and embrace the wisdom in your own body     Thank You to Our Sponsors EnergyBits: Get 20% off your entire order by going to https://energybits.com/ and using code DARIN at checkout.

When we rush to extract, cut, or suppress without understanding, we lose connection to the deeper wisdom it's offering. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is wait, listen, and trust the design that created you."     Bibliography of Referenced Studies Cochrane Review (Systematic Review) Study Title: Surgical removal versus retention for the management of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth Author/Source: Ghaeminia H, et al. Publication: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2020; CD003879 Key Finding: There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the routine removal of asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth, and no eligible studies reported on the effects of removal on health-related quality of life. Public Health Critique on Prophylactic Extraction Study Title: The Prophylactic Extraction of Third Molars: A Public Health Hazard Author: Jay W. Friedman, DDS, MPH Publication: American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), 2007; 97(9):1554–1559 Key Finding: Approximately two-thirds of extractions may be unnecessary, calling mass extraction a "silent epidemic of iatrogenic injury." M3BE Study Study Title: Prophylactic vs. symptomatic third molar removal: effects on patient postoperative morbidity Key Finding: Older patients are more at risk for complications (such as nerve injury and persistent pain), confirming that removal has real consequences. Clinical Guidelines (AAOMS) Source: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Title: Third Molar Surgical Guidelines Key Finding: Identifies Pericoronitis as one of the most common indications for surgical removal. Pathology Studies (Cysts/Tumors) Subject: Odontogenic cysts associated with impacted third molars Key Finding: While rare, cysts can erode jawbone and damage neighboring teeth, making this a valid medical reason for removal. Retrospective Complications Study Study Title: Retrospective Oman study: Complications of Third Molar Extraction Key Finding: Referenced in the context of risks and complications associated with extraction.

EPISODE 113 -  “BIG STAR, SMALL SCREEN - A CONVERSATION WITH FRONT ROW CLASSICS' BRANDON DAVIS” - 11/10/25 In the early days of television, many classic film actors were hesitant—or even outright refused—to appear on TV for a multitude of reasons. Many thought that TV was low-brow. Others thought they would get overexposed and it would somehow diminish their box-office power. Slowly stars like LORETTA YOUNG, BARBARA STANWYCK, ROBERT MONTGOMERY, and LUCILLE BALL figured out that TV could enhance and elongate their popularity and appeal. Slowly, classic stars began to pop up on the boob-tube. Joining us this week is BRANDON DAVIS, host extraordinaire of the fantastic podcast Front Row Classics, who will discuss the migration of classic film stars to the small screen and how it affected their popularity and careers. You haven't lived until you've seen IDA LUPINO doing her best “Norma Desmond” on an episode of “Charlie's Angels” in 1977.   SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Columbo: The Series (2017), by Scott V.
