Send us a textA tiny mineral with a big impact can change how you feel during the day -from steadier energy to clearer thinking and fewer snack attacks. So, what is this important mineral? Chromium, the quiet cofactor that helps your body process carbs, fats, and proteins more efficiently. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly L. Thacker explains why “food first” beats a crowded supplement shelf, and how easy wins—broccoli, green beans, quinoa, lean proteins, dairy, and even stainless steel cookware—can boost chromium naturally.Dr. Thacker shares how much chromium we need daily, highlights who might be at risk for deficiency, and explains why more isn't better with trace minerals.Support the show

We continue our progress through the book of Romans in Chapter 9, verses 14-18. Paul continues his explanation of how God worked in history to bring about His purpose through the Jewish people. He takes head on the questions we might be asking. God seems to be playing favorites in a completely arbitrary manner. How is this right? The answer is simply that He is God and He does as He pleases. As we study passages like this one, it is helpful to remember the other things we know about God. As the creator of everything that is, he defines what is good and what is just. He cannot lie, so we know that He will keep His word. Theologians will argue over free will until He returns and sets us all straight, but all we need to know is that "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)

In this episode of the Psyche Podcast, I bring together philosopher Eugene Thacker's In the Dust of This Planet and Junji Ito's Uzumaki to explore a deeper, colder form of horror—one that isn't psychological, symbolic, or easily explained.Thacker writes about the “world-without-us”: a reality that exists beyond human meaning, care, or control. In Uzumaki, that idea takes shape as a spiral—an impersonal force that reshapes bodies, infects a town, and quietly dismantles the assumption that the world is organized around us.This is an episode about cosmic horror, dread, and the unsettling beauty of patterns that exceed human understanding. We explore why Uzumaki feels so disturbing, how horror can function as a form of philosophy, and what it means to encounter a world that doesn't offer reassurance or redemption.If you're interested in philosophical horror, cosmic pessimism, or stories that linger long after they end, this conversation is an invitation to sit with discomfort—and listen closely to what it reveals.

We continue our study with Romans 9:6-13. Here Paul begins to address questions or misconceptions that might arise when considering the rejection of the Messiah by His people. Are God's promises void? Is he unable to keep them? Can fault be found n His actions? Absolutely not! (v 14) Paul begins his explanation by pointing out that God's promise was never to everyone born of Abraham. Neither is it to everyone born of Israel (v 6.)

Antisemitism seems to be on the rise around the world, and even here in the U.S. It is particularly disturbing coming from people who claim to be Christians. We should recognize that one can be critical of actions taken by the nation of Israel without hating its people, but when racist conspiracy theories begin to inform these opinions, something has gone terribly wrong. As we continue our progress through the book of Romans, we have come to Chapter 9, where Paul seems to change subjects. Having made His case for the good news of Jesus the Messiah and concluded with a profound statement of His love, he turns his attention to the position of the Jews. They are his people, and they are also Jesus' people. They are the people who were given the honor of revealing Him to the rest of us. To be anti-Jew is to be anti-Christ.

(Shoshoni, WY)- In this episode of the County 10 Podcast, we sit down with Shoshoni alum and songwriter/producer Keegan Thacker, who shares a passion-driven conversation about music, creativity, education, and giving back to the next generation. In this episode we find out about a fun event happening December 11th. The heart of this conversation is Sound Lab, a hands-on music program that Keegan co-created within Shoshoni schools. The goal is simple but transformative:to give students access to musical exploration…whether through instruments, composing, performing, or producing. They also aim to provide a creative outlet many rural students don't often get. On December 11th, the Sound Lab program will host a special concert featuring professional musicians as well as student performers who have been developing their skills through the program. This event serves not only as a community celebration of young talent, but also as a fundraiser to help expand the program by purchasing instruments, equipment, and materials. Another special part of this event is the partnership with the Shoshoni High School Boys Wrestling Team, who will be preparing the dinner served at the concert. A portion of the evening's admission proceeds will also go toward supporting the wrestling team! Details in the poster below. h/t Keegan Thacker

In this episode, I explore how philosopher Eugene Thacker's ideas about pessimism, horror, and “the world-without-us” unexpectedly illuminate the heart of existential therapy. Thacker argues that moments of dread, uncertainty, and limit-experience reveal the limits of human control and understanding—and these moments show up in the therapy room all the time.I talk about how existential therapy helps us sit with the mystery instead of running from it, and how confronting the unthinkable can actually open the door to clarity, growth, and deeper self-understanding. From anxiety and identity shifts to grief, burnout, and meaning crises, we look at how therapy becomes a place to face life's vastness without collapsing into fear.If you're curious about the intersection of philosophy, horror, and the therapeutic journey—especially with teens, neurodivergent clients, and adults navigating major transitions—this episode offers a grounded, accessible reflection on how we can live meaningfully in an uncertain world.

Episode 167 of the Check Your Six podcast brought a great guest back into GRP Studios, Adrian Thacker of Proficiency Background Services. This is Part 1 of 4 where we start start to build on creating a podcast for Adrian about his industry. It has been a little over 4 years since he was in the first time and things have changed quite a bit for him, his business and the industry. We talked about why he decided to move into the arena and not the engineering that he loved, but an experience that he had in an employment process really changed the course of his life. He determined that what he went through is a struggle that more people that we realize face and especially those from lower income backgrounds, may not have the ability to fight. I thoroughly enjoyed having Adrian in the studio for these sessions and I can't wait to hear what he has coming in 2026. You can find out more about him on his website, https://proficiencybackground.com/, this isn't your daddy's old style background checks, this is cutting edge. Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

As we progress through Paul's letter to the believers in Rome, we come to one of the most well-known and thoroughly abused passages in the Bible, though I would say Matthew 7:1 still tops the chart for misuse. This one usually gets quoted when something bad happens to someone else, and we tend only to quote part of it. We say, "All things work together for good." The verse is Romans 8:28, and it reads, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." (Legacy Standard Bible) Note the qualifiers. This verse is meant to be a comfort, and it follows a recognition of the suffering that has been inflicted upon all of creation because of sin. Paul also calls to mind the hope that we have as part of God's family in the redemption to come, sustained by the Holy Spirit that lives within us. But the key phrase in this verse is , "for those who love God." Those who love God are called according to His purpose. He knew them from the beginning of time, and literally everything has been planned around them. So, let us be among those who love god. He loved us first, and sent Jesus to pay the price so that we can be with Him for all of eternity, participating in whatever amazing thing He does next. We can be assured of His love for us, and nothing in all of creation can separate us from His love. This week we will cover Romans 8:28-39. We could spend several weeks here, but we can always come back later. Join us in His family. Be blessed. Be comforted. Be encouraged.

If you haven't been there, you will. The time comes for all of us when the pain is too deep for words. Or it seems like all the words have been said, and there is nothing left. We feel sadness, anger, even hopelessness, but as children of God we know that we are not without hope. We do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit within us knows all. Even in the best of times, we really don't know. Only God knows everything that should move us to prayer. We pick up our study this week with Romans 8:26-27. I have shared in the past a message that begins with verse 28 and had planned to work these verses into that message so that we would not skip anything, but as I read them, God spoke to me through them and I decided to treat them separately. I pray that the message will bless you as well.

We continue our study with Romans 8:8-25.  Our God will finish what he started.  Until then, we endure with patience and eagerly await His coming.  We can rejoice in the midst of trials because we have this hope, not in the temporal things that will all pass away, but in the eternal relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Pittsy and Storm are joined by Thacker to run through all the week 9 match ups before diving into week 10

We continue our study of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome with Verses 9-17 of Chapter 8. Paul has described what it is like to live according to the flesh. That is, to be driven by our own feelings and desires instead of being led by the Holy Spirit. That path leads to death. But this does not describe God's adopted children. They are so identified because they are led by His spirit and choose to deny themselves and Follow Him. What a relationship this is! If you belong to Him, your father is the creator of all that exists! The essence of all that is holy and good lives within you in the person of His Holy Spirit! He loves you so much that He sacrificed His only son to bring you into His family. He is awesome, glorious, all-powerful and holy. He is due every act of reverence, and yet you may still call him Daddy. He has made you an heir with Jesus. I think we will require eternity to learn what that means.

Send us a textEvery October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.

Send us a textIn this eye-opening episode, Dr. Holly Thacker tackles the complex relationship between alcohol and health, particularly for women. Drawing from both scientific evidence and personal stories, she explains why women experience more severe effects from alcohol than men—even when drinking the same amount.The conversation goes beyond basic facts about alcoholism to explore how alcohol uniquely impacts women's bodies. Dr. Thacker reveals that women metabolize alcohol more slowly and experience more concentrated effects due to naturally lower body water content. She shares concerning observations from her own medical practice, where she's seen women develop liver and heart damage from what many would consider "moderate" drinking—just one drink per day over many years.Particularly alarming are the potential interactions between alcohol and medications. With over 150 medicines known to interact dangerously with alcohol—from common pain relievers to prescription medications—understanding these risks becomes crucial, especially for older adults who typically take multiple medications daily.For pregnant or breastfeeding women, Dr. Thacker doesn't mince words: there is no safe amount of alcohol. She shares a personal experience of how quickly even a small sip of champagne transferred to her breast milk and affected her nursing infant.Whether you're concerned about your own relationship with alcohol or worried about a loved one, this episode provides valuable insights into recognizing problematic drinking patterns, understanding treatment options, and accessing resources for help. Dr. Thacker emphasizes that alcoholism is a disease that can be treated effectively, though it requires honesty and appropriate support.Subscribe to the Speaking of Women's Health podcast for more essential health information that empowers you to be strong, be healthy, and be in charge of your wellbeing.For referral to drug and alcohol treatment programs in your area, call:Assessment Center Drug and Alcohol Abuse Hotline1.800.234.0420National Alcohol and Drug Help Line1.800.821.HELP (4357)Support the show

Thacker has developed a proprietary design for distillation vessels that are more efficient than older technologies. These new systems use insulated tubs and lower pressure steam to reduce thermal degradation and energy use. The modern method cuts cook times significantly compared to the older "yellow tubs" and allows for more effective steam utilization. The distillation process involves filling 40-foot trailers with the crop, running steam through it, and eventually using the leftover material as organic matter to enrich the soil.

Dale Thacker, a distillation expert, has been cultivating exotic crops such as peppermint, spearmint, and dill in Alberta for over 40 years. The mint industry in the area began in the late 1980s, followed by dill cultivation for essential oils used in the pickle industry. Thacker has also experimented with other crops like basils and tarragon but has focused primarily on mint and dill. The harvesting process involves drying the crops, chopping them, and using distillation techniques to extract oils, which are sold to companies like Colgate.

Early in her first season coaching girls flag football at Middletown High School, Chantal Thacker is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Thacker chats with host Greg Swatek about her interesting background with football. From playing with boys on the playground at recess, she went on to play women's tackle football for the CT Wreckers of the Independent Women's Football League and the DC Divas of the Women's Football Alliance Pro Division, in addition to a stint on Team USA for the International Federation of American Football Women's Tackle World Championship in Vantaa, Finland during the summer of 2022. She talks about those experiences, as well as meeting her wife, Sara, on the women's tackle football circuit, and coaching the junior-varsity boys team at Wilde Lake High School, where she currently works. How was she received there by the players, administration and other coaches? Thacker also talks about her team at Middletown this season, adjusting to coaching flag football and what would constitute a successful season for the Knights. Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to review Week 2 of the high school football season, look ahead to Week 3 and look over the rest of the fall sports landscape in Frederick County.

“Giving back has always been in our DNA,” says Wendy Thacker of ScanSource, reflecting on the company's growing commitment to community engagement. In an interview with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, at ScanSource Partner First, Thacker shared how ScanSource is scaling its Impact 360 program, originally launched in Greenville, South Carolina, to new communities across the U.S., including South Haven, Mississippi, Dallas, Texas, Sacramento, California, and Tempe, Arizona. The initiative takes a 360-degree approach to student and family support, addressing education, food and clothing insecurity, physical and mental health, and enrichment experiences. Through hands-on engagement, more than 150 partners, employees, and family members have already participated in activities ranging from fall festivals and classroom takeovers to healthy eating demos. A highlight of this year's program was the involvement of Thomas Kearns Elementary School students, who designed and painted footballs that will be showcased at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The winning design, selected through a social media contest, will earn the entire class an ice cream sundae party. ScanSource's efforts are supported by the ScanSource Charitable Foundation, which has contributed over $22 million to communities since its inception. To help others replicate this success, the company created a community playbook that provides project plans, budgets, and best practices for building impactful local programs. Thacker emphasized that ScanSource partners, suppliers, and employees all play a critical role: “Helping create impact for others in the communities where they work and live is very important to us because they're part of our extended family.” For more details on ScanSource's charitable work and to download the community playbook, visit scansource.com.

Send us a textThe pursuit of optimal health as we age requires more than just conventional medicine—it demands a deeper understanding of how our hormones, genetics, and metabolism interact. In this continuation of the conversation with Dr. Elena Christofides, Host Dr. Holly Thacker goes beyond the surface of women's health concerns to explore groundbreaking approaches that can literally change how we age.Dr. Christofides reveals why comprehensive blood testing should include genetic markers that most physicians overlook. From MTHFR mutations affecting B vitamin metabolism to hemochromatosis genes common in those with Northern European ancestry, these hidden factors can dramatically impact metabolic health. Her revolutionary approach includes growth hormone screening for everyone—not just elite athletes—because deficiencies following head trauma (including domestic violence) affect one in five people and accelerate aging processes.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Christofides and Dr. Thacker emphasize that what many dismiss as "normal aging" is often addressable with personalized medical approaches.For anyone frustrated by unexplained weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep quality, or declining physical performance despite "normal" lab work, this episode offers hope and actionable insights.To learn more about Dr. Elena Christofides, visit endocrinology-associates.com.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
