When should you feed your honey bees—and when is feeding simply masking another problem? In this Honey Bee Obscura Archive Special, we revisit a conversation between Jim Tew and the late Kim Flottum about one of beekeeping's perennial fall questions: fall feeding of colonies in preparation for winter. Kim and Jim begin with a deceptively simple question: Why are you feeding? A colony may need supplemental food because of poor forage, unfavorable weather, a newly created split, inadequate stores, or another management decision. But feeding can also become what Jim calls a "management Band-Aid"—something that helps a colony through a temporary shortage without addressing why it became short on stores in the first place. From there, they tackle the practical questions. What should you feed? Thin or thick sugar syrup? Fondant? Dry granulated sugar? And with entrance feeders, top feeders, division-board feeders, and other options available, is there really one "best" method? For northern beekeepers preparing colonies for winter, Jim and Kim discuss the amount of stored honey they historically looked for and an old but useful technique: weighing or "hefting" a hive to estimate its stores. They explain why learning what a properly provisioned hive feels like can help a beekeeper decide whether intervention is necessary. Most importantly, they emphasize that meaningful fall feeding can require a significant commitment. Bringing an underweight colony up to adequate winter stores may require gallons of syrup—not simply feeding once and assuming the problem is solved. The takeaway is classic Jim and Kim: feed when you need to, understand why you need to, and stop when the colony has what it needs. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

Joe and Dave Hyde break down the Dolphins' ugly preseason loss to the Giants, where Miami struggled with mistakes across the board despite many starters sitting out. The Dolphins were forced to play recently signed players and continue to look extremely thin on talent, with Joe questioning whether the roster has even 35 players truly worthy of an NFL roster spot. The guys also discuss how draft picks could get the benefit of the doubt over veterans in close roster battles, the uncertainty surrounding Miami's 53-man roster, the team's historic dead-money situation and the lack of impact so far from the veterans signed to one-year prove-it deals.
Joe Rose and Dave Hyde react to the Marlins sweeping the Nationals and getting contributions from throughout the roster before turning their attention to the Dolphins' ugly preseason loss to the Giants. The guys discuss Miami's lack of talent and depth, the uncertainty surrounding the 53-man roster, the team's historic dead-money situation and why so many of the veterans signed to one-year prove-it deals have failed to make an impact. Plus, they break down the Browns' unusual QB situation with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, including asking why Cleveland brought Watson back despite his off-field issues and poor play. The hour also features high school football talk, a discussion about the evolution of NFL kickers and some laughs at Hollywood's fantasy football trip to Montreal.
Lameness can quietly reduce milk production, cow welfare, and dairy farm profitability. In this episode of The Moos Room, we examine how a difficult, wet spring prompted our dairy to make routine hoof trimming a priority for both its grazing and confinement herds.Since 2019, every cow—including lactating and dry cows—has been trimmed twice a year, with hoof problems carefully recorded. The results have been substantial: the percentage of cows with hoof issues declined from 15.6% during the first whole-herd trimming to just 2–3% during the past two spring trimmings. Thin soles and toe ulcers have nearly disappeared, white line disease has declined, and antibiotic use for lameness has fallen.Learn why grazing cows still benefit from routine trimming, how common hoof lesions affect cattle, and why partnering with a hoof trimmer to establish a consistent maintenance schedule can improve cow longevity, employee satisfaction, and farm profitability.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Told you're too thin for a breast fat transfer? Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Whitfield explains why that assessment is usually wrong — and how a natural, implant-free augmentation is possible even for lean patients. In this episode, Dr. Whitfield breaks down how breast fat transfer actually works — prepare, harvest, process, and place — and walks through three real patient scenarios, including a live conversation with patient Jenna, who had her procedure while managing Type 1 diabetes and an autoimmune condition. If you've been told to gain 15–20 pounds or "just accept being flat," this is for you. What you'll learn: Why body mass alone doesn't determine if you're a candidate Where fat is harvested when you're lean (inner/outer thighs, flanks, back) How explant + fat transfer can be done safely at the same time What a realistic result looks like — and why 70–80% retention is achievable ⚠️ This video is for education only — not medical advice or a consultation. ⏱️ Chapters:0:00 — The "too thin" myth, debunked 1:40 — Three patient scenarios 2:24 — How fat is harvested, processed & placed 6:15 — Why "too thin" is usually wrong 8:02 — Explant + fat transfer simultaneously 9:56 — Fat transfer after an explant 15:40 — Jenna's story: fat transfer with Type 1 diabetes 25:00 — The 20–30% retention reality 33:43 — Q&A: tummy tuck, second transfer, cup size

Sis, I want to talk to the YOU today - the woman listening who is exhausted. Exhausted from restricting. Exhausted from punishing yourself with endless workouts and never taking a day off. Exhausted from trying to shrink yourself while showing up as the leader in every other area of your life. You have it all together on the outside — you lead teams, manage budgets, raise humans, keep the whole household running. But when it comes to your body, you still feel like that confused little girl who learned her worth was tied to her size. That's the battle no one sees. And today, we're bringing it into the light. By the end of our time together, you'll understand how your body story got written — and you'll have a framework to start rewriting it, from shame to self-compassion. You didn't start out hating your body Here's the truth I need you to hear: you learned to. You didn't come into this world at war with yourself. Somewhere along the way — maybe at seven, watching your mom criticize her thighs in the mirror; maybe at ten, when someone commented on your changing body; maybe at thirteen, when the magazines promised happiness if you just looked a little different — you were taught that your body was a problem to be solved. You learned it from a culture that profits from your insecurity. From diet companies making billions convincing you your body is wrong. From a fitness industry that sold you the lie that more exercise equals more worth. Nothing was ever actually broken, sis. You were taught a story. And what was taught can be rewritten. The messages that built your prison These are the "body story" messages so many high-achieving women carry — see which ones you recognize: "Good girls don't take up too much space." You learned to make yourself smaller, literally and figuratively. "Your body is your responsibility to control." Enough willpower, enough discipline — and your body became a project instead of your home. "Thin equals healthy, healthy equals worthy, big equals bad." You learned the scale measures your value as a person. "Successful women have it all together — including their bodies." So controlling your body became one more item on the success checklist. "Your body exists to look good for other people." You learned to see yourself through everyone's eyes but your own. These messages worked. They kept you small, compliant, and constantly striving. And that same control that felt like freedom was actually building your prison — brick by brick, year by year. What this story has cost you Your energy — all the mental space spent calculating, planning, and worrying, that could have gone to your dreams and relationships. Your presence — the family moments missed, the social events avoided, the opportunities declined while you waited to "feel better" in your body. Your authentic self — the woman you are when you're not worried about food or exercise. She's creative, brave, vibrant, and magnetic — and she's been buried under years of body shame and food rules. Your physical health — the chronic restriction and over-exercising you think is keeping you "healthy" is actually putting real stress on your body. You have the power to rewrite it You're not that young girl anymore. You're a powerful, strong woman with wisdom and experience — and now you have a choice to choose differently. It starts with one decision, one meal, one moment of self-compassion over self-criticism. Your body story doesn't have to end with restriction and exhaustion. The best chapters are yet to come. A few lines from the episode "You didn't start out hating your body, sis. You learned to." "You learned from a culture that literally profits from your insecurity." "Your body became a project instead of your home." "That same control that felt like freedom was building your prison, brick by brick." "The woman you are when you're not worried about food or exercise? She is magnetic." "You're not too much. You're not too little. You're exactly enough, exactly as you are. It's okay to take up space." Your body story rewrite — try this week In the morning, before you critique anything in the mirror, thank your body for one thing it did for you yesterday — walked you through a long day, hugged your kids, kept your heart beating while you slept. Before you eat, ask: "What would really feel good and nourishing right now?" Trust that your body has wisdom you've been drowning out with food rules. Choose movement based on what feels good — a walk, yoga, stretching — not on calories to burn. When you catch the harsh self-talk, speak kindness instead. Kindness builds body trust. And journal on this: Who influenced my body story? When do I first remember believing these things? How can I rewrite it so I can stand in my truth and crush the next chapter? You don't have to rewrite it alone If you're ready to stop living as the perfect leader everywhere except in your relationship with your own body, I'd love to walk with you. My work isn't just about changing your relationship with food — it's about helping you discover who you are without the eating disorder in the driver's seat. Connect with Lindsey:
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima assess the Browns' talent gaps after the Chicago preseason game, agreeing it's worth the injury risk to use KC Concepcion on kick returns given how badly the offense needs a spark, and praising Spencer Fano's debut while cautioning he's only one-fifth of a still-shaky offensive line. They flag thin depth at tight end and in the secondary as real concerns heading into the season, while pushing back on fantasy football fans worried Harold Fannin was quiet in game one, arguing he'll become Deshaun Watson's security blanket once the season starts. Ken ties the roster's overall thinness back to the draft capital lost in the Watson trade, but says he can accept a rough win total if young playmakers like Concepcion and Denzel Boston keep flashing, and teases finding out whether Daryl Ruiter is also ready to call the QB competition for Watson.
Bitcoin remains stuck near $63,000 as ETF flows turn negative and thin liquidity leaves the market vulnerable to sharper moves if leveraged traders rush for the exits. Matt covers Strategy raising another $333.7 million without buying more Bitcoin, HIVE locking in a major GPU cloud contract, and tokenized stock activity surging as real-world assets continue moving on-chain. The episode also looks at the CLARITY Act's odds collapsing to roughly 10%, Binance reportedly providing customer data to Russian authorities, Chainalysis suing over a $94.6 million ICE contract, and major customer-data breaches affecting Bits of Gold and SafePal. Matt closes by arguing that while Bitcoin's price is flat, the infrastructure, regulation, and security risks surrounding crypto are moving quickly. Happy HODLing. Hosted on Acast.

What if the thin margins crushing your restaurant aren't the industry's fault at all?Hamed Mazrouei came into restaurants as a total outsider. He built Vivant, the managed network company that keeps thousands of restaurants online, and he refuses to accept the beliefs operators treat as gospel.In this conversation, we get into why the thin margins operators blame on the industry actually come down to volume, why guest retention is the highest-leverage metric almost nobody fixes, and why simplification is the one trait every successful founder shares.If you've been blaming the business for numbers you have the power to change, this one will make you rethink everything you assumed was fixed.That's Hamed Mazrouei.

This is your second time with us.Jennifer: Thank you so much for having me.Sarah: Yeah, I'm so excited. You have a new book coming out, so maybe you could introduce yourself and then tell us about your new book, which is available for pre-order and coming out in September. We will link to that in the show notes, but tell us a little bit about who you are and about your new book.Jennifer: Sure. I'm a registered dietitian. I have two kids who have not been easy to feed, and I'm the founder of Kids Eat in Color and the CEO of Better Bites. I'm so excited to have this book coming out. It's called Feed Them Well: A Guide to Raising Healthy, Confident Eaters for Life. I just cannot wait for parents to have this resource.Sarah: Amazing. You were telling me before we started that the focus of your book is having kids have a healthy relationship not only with food, but with their bodies. Maybe we could start out by talking about—obviously, this could be a very long conversation—but some of the top things you've found that are really helpful, sort of dos and don'ts, in terms of having kids have that healthy relationship with food.And also, what do you mean when you talk about a healthy relationship with their bodies? Maybe that's a two-part question.Jennifer: Yeah. I love that you framed it as a two-part question, because it is kind of a two-part question, but I feel like that's only because in English we don't have a way to describe the fact that these things are deeply connected in us.When I think about a healthy relationship with food, I want to make sure kids know how to take care of their bodies. They know what a balanced diet looks like. They're able to enjoy food, whatever kind of food it is. And also, we want kids to be able to really appreciate and live in their bodies, experience life through their bodies, and not have this deep what's called internalized weight bias, where thin is the ideal. Thin is what everybody is shooting for. You should either be worried about how thin you are or trying to get thinner. That is a soul-sucking way of living when we're so focused on weight and diet culture.So we want to give kids another option. We want to give kids the ability to really appreciate their bodies, and yet we also want to do so in a way that they're still able to care about the health of their bodies in a way that's healthy, as opposed to just diet culture.What I call this is embodied independence, where kids are independent. They know all the things they need to do, and they're also embodied. They're living in and experiencing their bodies.When we think about what we want to do and what we want to not do, we want to model what we want kids to do, ideally, and this is in every single area of parenting, including eating. That's where the independence comes from. We're modeling, and we're also providing the boundaries and opportunities for them.I always tell parents, “You are in charge of your restaurant at home. You're the head chef. You're going to set when your restaurant hours are, you're going to set what's on the menu, you're going to set all these things.” As you're doing that, you are teaching your child what is part of a healthy lifestyle.On the other side, we're thinking about their relationship with their body. We want to minimize internalized weight bias, and that means we're not discussing body sizes or body shapes. We're not weighing ourselves in front of our kids. One of the most powerful things you can do as a parent is to not discuss your body size or shape and not discuss any weight-loss attempts at any point, if that's something you ever engage in. Those two things are huge risk factors for disordered eating and eating disorders. If we could just not do that, that would actually be huge.Sarah: I feel like that's actually a real gift my mother gave me. She never talked about her weight or diets or her body, really, at all. And I feel like I'm one of the few people I know who—I'll say at least until perimenopause recently—had no body-image issues for my whole adult life. I think that really did stem from being raised without that being a thing that people were talking about.Jennifer: Yeah, absolutely. It was discussed in the groups that I grew up in. At the same time, my parents were like, “No, you are not allowed to look at beauty magazines or teen magazines.” I don't remember really pushing back on that as a teenager, but now I am so grateful because, whether it's social media now or teen magazines or so many other things, so many of them are focused on body image: how thin you are, how to get thin, how to stay thin, all this stuff. And that stuff is just toxic.Sarah: Yeah, and it used to just be for girls, right? And now boys are—I have so many clients who've said their son wants a six-pack, and they're eight or nine years old and won't take off their shirt to go swimming.Jennifer: My kids are right now into parkour, and it's interesting to watch because we've been very careful about what we've said about them. They've recently started talking about six-packs and strong cores and all that because, in reality, my son is like, “I need a stronger core because that will help me flip better.” And he's 100% right that his core strength is going to determine his success in this sport in a lot of ways.At the same time, getting ripped is not the phrasing that I would really prefer because so much of that is focused on image, right? And yet this is what they're hearing. My kids are 11 and 13, but it really started last year, when they were 10 and 12, where they're just kind of being exposed to these ideas of fitness.So when we think about kids understanding this, yeah, we have to have them understand their physical fitness, and then we also have to help them understand that it's not about looks. It is about how we feel. It's about what we can do. It's about how we can serve people. It's about so much more than just how we look.So as I think about my kids getting ready to do these things and doing these things, I'm going to continue to focus on, “This will help you flip,” not, “This will help you look ripped.”Sarah: Talk a little bit more about some of the dos and don'ts about the healthy relationship. We've sort of focused on our bodies. Actually, you know what? Before you do, I want to ask you about something else first, so we'll stay on that for another second.If you have a child who is in a bigger body and they're concerned to obsessed about being in a bigger body and feeling like that's, quote, “bad,” how do you talk to them about that?Jennifer: So I think the first thing is—and I have a framework in the book that, even though it's kind of cheesy, I call the LOVE framework—we want to listen. We really want to listen, and then we want to validate. Because if a kid is coming to us and saying, “I'm fat. I want to lose weight,” one, we don't really know what they mean by that. We don't know where that came from. Are they being teased? Did they hear something? Are their friends all trying to lose weight? We have to listen and understand.And then we have to say, “Yeah, you feel like you want to lose weight. You're feeling bad right now. You're telling me that your body is rounder than your friends'.” As we validate, we want to use neutral, factual language. If they're describing their body in negative terms, we don't want to say, “Oh no, you're wrong,” because that's not right, and it's also not bad to be in a bigger body. And so if we're like, “Oh, no, no, no, you're not fat,” that's not helpful because we're just invalidating their whole experience, and we're also reinforcing the idea that fat is bad.Instead, we want to be like, “Oh yeah, you're right. I've noticed that in our family, we all have softer tummies. We all have rounder tummies.” When we're using basic descriptive language that's not negative, we help them reinterpret their body in a way that is more neutral, where we can then eventually move away from this judgment of body size and shape to an acceptance of body size and shape, where that's just not part of what we're talking about. It's just like, “Oh, it's neutral. This is just a body,” and let's move on to something more interesting.And then, after we've listened and validated, we really want to see if there's something that we need to take action on. We're saying, “Okay, do I need to help my child learn coping skills for being bullied? Do I need to talk to the school? Do I need to talk to their friend's parents? What is my role now in figuring out what needs to happen? Is my child showing signs of having disordered eating? Have they put themselves on a diet?”Those are the sorts of things where you want to take it seriously. If they're restricting themselves from different foods or they're doing things to try to change the size of their body, then is the time to involve a professional. Whether it's a counselor, an eating disorder therapist, their doctor, whoever it is, that is the time. I know it's hard when we think, “Oh my gosh, my kid potentially has disordered eating or an eating disorder.” That can fill parents with a lot of guilt and fear and shame and all that sort of thing. Don't let that stop you from getting your child help as soon as possible.Sarah: Yeah, this is not a DIY project.Jennifer: Yeah, it's not. Now, of course, you can be DIY-ing it all the way up to that point, but at the point where you see a big red flag, go bring somebody else in.Sarah: So what are some tips for helping kids have a healthy relationship with food?Jennifer: I love to talk about food factually, the same way we would talk about bodies. It's like, “Oh, these are the names of foods. They're hard, they're crunchy, they're savory, they're sweet, they're delicious,” as opposed to this sort of, “These are healthy foods, and these are not healthy foods.”It adds a level of complication that is too simple and also contributes to a very rigid perspective of food and eating. Potentially, that can even leak over into how people think of their bodies.Sarah: Yeah, because it just occurred to me—I was reflecting before, when I was thinking of questions to ask you—that I do know someone who talks to their child about, “We have to eat healthy food before we eat the unhealthy food.” And why would you ever want to tell your child that you're giving them something unhealthy anyway? “Have this dangerous toy.” You know?Jennifer: Yeah. “Don't play with the dangerous toy until you've played with the safe toy.” I completely agree with that, and I think it comes from a very well-meaning place where, again, we're wanting to pass on this information that empowers kids to nurture their bodies for the rest of their life.So it's all coming from a good place. We just have to think that kids will internalize this sort of, “Wait a second. You're giving me all this healthy food, but then we have this unhealthy food. Why are you giving me unhealthy food? And also, am I bad if I eat this unhealthy food? Should I feel guilty? Should I feel afraid of it?” There are a lot of things that kids can take from these conversations.Now, it doesn't mean that if you're using this language, you have ruined your child or you have given your child an eating disorder. I am telling you, kids are not that easy to ruin. And you can give them new skills, though, which is just to understand every food does something different in your body, and we can listen to our body to find out what's right for us. Because let's say you have an allergy. Yeah, there are some foods that are truly unhealthy. You're going to have a really bad reaction. And there are also foods where, if you eat too much of them—and this is truly just about every food, including water—if you eat too much of it, you can also become unhealthy.You can't just live on broccoli. I promise you. That's not healthy. And we see this in people who become really obsessed with healthy eating. They become very unhealthy. They're unable to maintain their physical and mental health and social health. It affects all their relationships. So I like to get away from this unhealthy/healthy thinking.And it is so healthy to be able to sit down and enjoy a bowl of ice cream. We're visiting my parents right now, and my two kids had these big bowls of ice cream, and also the two baby cousins, who are two and not even quite one yet, my mom was giving them ice cream too. I was like, “This is such a grandma move right now.”But here they are, they're all together enjoying their ice cream, and the two-year-old had sprinkles for the first time. It was just this really amazing bonding moment. I don't want my kids, in the back of their heads, to think, “Oh my gosh, I shouldn't have eaten that much ice cream,” or, “I shouldn't have eaten that ice cream,” or, “That was unhealthy for me.” I just don't want that for them.Sarah: Yeah. You want to enjoy the food that you're eating, no matter what the food is. So how do you talk about it then? I've heard some people say “sometimes food,” like, “This is food that we don't eat every day.” How do you talk about or differentiate?Jennifer: You can model that, and I like to do what's called predictable parenting, where you're just going to be really consistent about whatever you're going to do, and you're going to help your kid get in touch with their hunger and fullness cues. So you're going to serve them meals, but you're also going to be like, “Sorry, you can't have a snack right now because dinner's in 30 minutes.”You're going to have a really predictable routine of meals, and that has the purpose of developing their embodiment, which is actually being able to tune in and listen: What is going on inside of my body? What does it need? How do I respond to it? One thing you do is just have an eating routine. That actually goes a really long way in helping kids have a good relationship with food.Then you want to talk about food neutrally, and you want to model what a balanced diet looks like. If you really own your role as the restaurant owner, you're not going to be making multiple meals. You're going to be making one meal for the family, in most cases, and you're always going to make sure there's at least one food on there that your child's comfortable with. It doesn't have to be their absolute favorite food, but it's got to be something that they're comfortable with.Sarah: Something they'll eat.Jennifer: Yeah, something they'll eat, in most cases. Although kids are eating eggs several times a week for their whole life, and then one day my son's like, “I don't like eggs. I've never liked eggs.” I'm like, “That's just so not true.” So you never know, which is why I say something they're comfortable with, something that they almost always eat.Then you can model what a balanced diet looks like. You're probably not going to serve candy for meals. Maybe you add a little candy onto a meal or snack, and that's a strategy people often use, and that's fine. But you're going to show that every single meal—or most meals—has a fruit or a vegetable. I like to think of it in terms of a protein food that also has fat, an energy food, which is a carbohydrate-rich source, and then also color, which is fruits and/or vegetables. That's kind of how I think of a balanced meal.We want to model that for kids for most of their meals and most of their snacks. They will absorb what that means. And so without saying anything, without being like, “Oh, this is a sometimes food. This is an always food,” you're going to show them that it's only there sometimes.Sarah: Right.Jennifer: And you're also going to show them that other foods are there all the time. Now, as kids go out, they're going to get hyped up on candy and sweets. It's not like these are going to be, quote, “neutral foods.” They're not. Maybe when they're in preschool, but by the time they're six and in school, with friends and parties, they know that these other foods are different. They know.On social media, I've heard, “Oh, we can never restrict kids. We can never say anything that suggests they're different.” I'm sorry. Hyper-palatable food—meaning candy, things with added sodium and sugar and fat—they are so different.Sarah: Right. Your brain knows they're different.Jennifer: Yeah. The kids know they're different. So we don't have to hide the fact that we know they're different. We can also set some limits, but we just want to be consistent about them. Like, “Oh, you can have two cookies.” Sometimes we might want to give kids more cookies. You might even say, “Hey, I want my kid to be able to choose how many cookies they have.” That's all totally fine, and it's all within the bounds of something that's going to help kids have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.Sarah: I mean, I guess it depends, too, on the access, right? Like you were saying, you're the executive chef of your restaurant. What we did, which I think worked pretty well, was we only occasionally had—I'd buy ice cream once in a while, and we'd eat it until it was gone. Or we'd have chips once in a while, or we'd make cookies once in a while. They sort of had, not 100% free access, but everybody would eat it, and then it would be gone, and then we wouldn't have that stuff in the house anymore.But the funny thing is—I mentioned to you before that two out of my three kids have been moved out of the house for a while—and I figure now my 19-year-old, I can buy chips and she can decide to eat them or not. So they come home and they're like, “When did we become a chips household?” I feel like at a certain point you can just have in your house whatever you want and your kids are adults. But it's hilarious because they're like, “And bacon? When did you start buying bacon regularly?”Jennifer: Right. And I think ultimately they're going to grow up. They're going to decide what they have in their house, and you're going to decide what's in your house. We just want to kind of get them to that point where they can enjoy all foods without any guilt.Like, yeah, you made cookies and you enjoyed them together, and then that was that, and then you didn't have them around for a while. You weren't sitting there saying, “Oh, well, cookies are bad for you, and so we only have them sometimes.” No, cookies aren't bad for you. They're only bad for you if you're eating so many cookies that it's pushing out all the other food that you need.Sarah: Yeah. So that reminds me of why I brought that up, which was that you can't really ask kids to self-regulate, in my opinion—tell me what you think—if that food is available all the time in your house. Most kids, I think, would have cookies all the time if the cookies were just freely available 24/7. So I don't know. Tell me what you think about that.Jennifer: Yeah, this is a great question. If you go on social media these days, you'll see people who are like, “Kids can totally regulate. Kids know when they're hungry and full. Kids can listen to their hunger and fullness cues.” After doing so much research for this book and also having parented—I don't have as much experience as you, but I'm at 13 years—I agree some kids can regulate, but a lot of kids cannot.And here's the reason. It's because, again, that hyper-palatable food has a different effect on their brain than other foods. And if it was an ultra-processed food, meaning it's a food that was kind of created in a factory or the recipe was designed by a multinational snack corporation, they have done so much research to find out the exact recipe that's going to make people eat the most of it, override their hunger and fullness cues, and therefore buy more of it.Sarah: Or even their enjoyment cues. Like people eating things and eating, and they're not even really enjoying it anymore.Jennifer: They are overriding their body, and I think it's unfair to ask children to try to regulate that and to put that on them. Again, some kids are good at this, and if that's one of your kids and that's just how they work, fine. That's fine. You don't have to set limits.The key, whether we're letting kids eat as much as they want or we're setting limits, isn't whether we're setting limits or not. It's how we're setting the limits. So if I want to set a limit on cookies, what I want to say is, “We're all having two cookies today,” and that's it. I'm not saying, “Because it's a sometimes food,” or, “Because it's bad for you,” or, “Because if you eat too much you're going to gain weight,” or, “Because you don't have self-control.” I'm not saying any of those things.What the research has shown, and what's just been observed, is that kids who have a higher weight hear more of these qualifications from their parents: “Because of this,” “Because you...” “Because that's just too much.” That part is where you're adding on guilt, shame, and worry, and that's what we want to avoid. So when we just say, “Hey, everybody's having two cookies,” that's just the facts. I'm going to enforce it, but I'm not adding anything to it. It's in the addition that we run across problems.Sarah: Right. More like moralizing. That makes so much sense. I like how you said some kids can regulate and some kids can't, in terms of the amount that they're eating and the kinds of food that they're eating, because I really did follow all of that sort of intuitive feeding advice for kids. And I did have one child who really had a hard time regulating whether they'd eaten enough, or eating past the point of fullness, and the things that they wanted to eat.It wasn't until I discovered through some research the connection between ADHD and feeding and found that there are some kids where you can sort of let them more intuitively know what their body needs and wants, and other kids you have to teach mindful eating, which is what we found really solved the issue. Because I was afraid to say anything, you know, because I didn't want to make this kid feel bad about themselves or their body. But as soon as we had a way to talk about it that was about mindfulness rather than that sort of intuitiveness—I don't know if you see those two things as different, but that's sort of how I came to think about it.Jennifer: Yeah. So here's the thing with intuitive eating. It was a model, and it's the name of a book. It was a model designed for adults—a very specific group of women, in fact—to come out of diet culture and to get back in touch with their bodies. Of course, that's a huge simplification, but it was never designed for children.And you may have heard of the division of responsibility in child feeding. That was also designed by a dietitian and eating disorder therapist for the purpose of helping private-practice eating disorder clients—children. But the thing is, that's a very specific group of people in both cases. So to take a model that was designed for a specific group and now say this is applicable to all children, I don't think is fair. It's not evidence-based, and it's something that I've really had to do a lot of thinking about over the past two years.Also, seeing so many kids grow up over the years and helping so many families in the Better Bites programs and things, I've been thinking, yeah, this model of always letting your child decide how much to eat, or how much to eat of what foods, actually is not great for many kids.Sarah: Yeah, it wasn't great for one of mine.Jennifer: Neurodivergent kids especially, whether it's ADHD or autism or something else, sometimes don't have as strong of a sense of interoception. And this is true even of some neurotypical kids.Sarah: Yeah.Jennifer: So the interoceptive sense is the ability to tell: Am I hungry? Am I full? Do I have to go to the bathroom? Am I hot? What is going on inside of my body, and do I know how to respond to it? Do I know how to make sense of that experience?Some people describe being anxious as being very, very hot. Like, what do you do if you're very, very hot? They have to learn over time, “Oh, that also means I'm anxious. Therefore something is worrying me. Therefore I need to address the thing.”So for a lot of kids, we have to walk them through that experience. One of the most powerful ways we can do that is by narrating our internal experience, where we're saying, “Oh, I'm cold. You see these goosebumps on my arm? That's telling me I'm cold, and I'm kind of shivering. I'm going to put on something else. Oh, that makes me feel warm.”Or, “I hear my stomach grumbling, and I feel empty, and I feel kind of grumpy. That's telling me I'm hungry, and so I'm going to plan to eat a snack. I have snack in 15 minutes,” or, “It's time for a snack right now.” And then as I'm sitting at the table, saying, “Oh, you know, I'm starting to feel my tummy fill up.” At some point you're like, “Ah, I'm feeling full now. I'm going to stop eating.”But like you're saying, for some kids, we actually have to teach them explicitly. Some of these kids are going to have a harder time potty training. They may have a harder time learning a lot of things and how to respond to their body because they have to be taught explicitly.Fortunately or unfortunately, that kind of falls to us to help them because we're the ones who are with them so much of the time, and they're most likely to be relaxed around us and able to learn. The more we can narrate our experiences—although that can be exhausting, I know—the more they can start to make those connections.Sarah: That makes a lot of sense. And I think also the interoception thing that you mentioned is really a big part of it. Then there's also that eating can be very regulating in terms of the chewing action and being able to differentiate hunger from boredom. There are so many things that some people or children just know, and some people or children need to be, as you said, explicitly taught those things.Jennifer: Yeah. It's just something that they don't know, and their body doesn't automatically make those connections. And that's so true, especially with chewing.If you find your child is eating a lot when they're bored or when they're lonely or when they have negative feelings or hard feelings, one of the things you can really fall back on is your eating routine, where you're like, “Okay, we're going to eat our meals at these times. We're going to eat our snacks at these times.” It kind of keeps everybody on the same page in terms of when we're eating.And then it's a little bit harder to say, “Oh, I'm going to use food to help my kids soothe themselves,” because that's really tempting when we know, “Hey, if I just give them a snack, they're going to calm down.” I'm definitely a big fan of occasionally using food as a pick-me-up because what a great tool. We could be feeling bad, and then we can eat something, and all of a sudden we can feel so much better.Sarah: My daughter this morning had to have some blood work done, and she texted me, “The blood work hurt my arm so much. My arm is just killing me, and so I bought myself an almond croissant to feel better.”Jennifer: Ah.Sarah: I said, “Great self-care.”Jennifer: Yes. Great self-care. At the same time, if that's our only tool, then we're in trouble. And so I think we have to kind of help our kids. I'm never down on somebody, or myself, for eating just for the purpose of feeling better or just for the purpose of enjoyment. We think about receiving meals from people in tricky times in our lives, or eating something that someone gives us even when we're not hungry. It can still build connection and be such an uplifting experience.Sarah: Well, and food is so nurturing, too. Again, before we started our recording, I was telling you how my 22- and 25-year-olds, who don't live at home anymore, I really use food as a way to show my care and love for them when they no longer, quote, “need it,” right? Like making them food.Once last year, I made a lasagna and took a picture of it and sent it to them and called it “son bait.”Jennifer: That's right.Sarah: So yeah, food really is nurturing. And I think what I've come to think about it is, as long as you just don't do that all the time, right? Have seconds when you're not hungry because it's your favorite food, as long as you don't do that every single time you eat.Jennifer: Yeah. I think having the ability to be flexible goes so far in our well-being. When we're really inflexible, sometimes our life circumstances call for inflexibility. If we have very tight deadlines for when we can eat and when we can't eat, or maybe we're working through a health issue or something like that where we just really have to be a little bit more mindful of what we're eating, maybe we have a little bit less flexibility.But if we're out of that season, we're in a different time, then we can be more flexible during that time. I think the key is we're not over-moralizing this experience. Instead, we're enjoying it, we're participating in it, and we're learning to connect to real life, not just eating away all of our hard times or avoiding all of our hard emotions or things like that.Sarah: That makes so much sense. Okay, let's shift gears a little bit. I'm talking to you—I know school has already started in some parts of the country, and it's starting in the next few weeks in other parts of the country. And with school comes packed school lunches.Jennifer: Right.Sarah: And I think every parent out there is like, “Oh, I've got to start making lunches again.” So do you have any sort of hot tips for things that you find—are there ways to cut corners to pack lunches that kids will eat, that are healthy and nutritious, and also don't take a ton of time or money to do?Jennifer: Sure. So when I'm packing lunches, first I just kind of start with the same formula, which is a protein food, an energy food—which is what I call a higher-starchy carbohydrate food—and then the color, the fruits or vegetables.If you want to really cut corners, get yourself a lunchbox that only has three containers. That's one of my big tips. A lot of these fancy bento lunches have four, five, six containers of food, and then often people feel pressured to fill it with six different kinds of foods. That's just a lot for you to think about. I have all the different lunchboxes because it's part of my job, and we often send ones that have a few more compartments, but that can be stressful. I've definitely felt that, where I'm like, “Just give me three containers.”Also think, “Is there something that I can use from dinner or another meal that I made earlier in the week in this lunchbox?” The more you can incorporate that, the better. Or, if you can't, see if you can make it during your dinner meal. When you're already in the kitchen, things are already a mess. It might look like a bomb went off in your kitchen, where there's a half-made lunchbox, there's a half-made dinner, but if you're the sort of person who can kind of manage that chaos, then do it then, because then you only have to clean up once. It's already chaos; you're just adding a little bit more chaos.And you can also train your kids to help you, depending on your kids, of course. That can be a way for them to help save time for you. And then also kind of lean into maybe a baby carrot or a cucumber that you just chop, chop, or stuff where you're cutting it up but it doesn't feel that hard for you.I think so much of what's hard and easy—I was kind of talking to my Instagram audience about this recently—is individual. Making meatballs to me is a bridge too far. That just feels so hard and tedious. And a lot of people are like, “Oh my gosh, it feels so easy to me.” So I think a lot of this is what feels hard and what feels easy to you, and kind of run with that. Don't compare your child's lunchbox to everybody else's.If your kid is going to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day, if you can send peanuts, or a sunflower seed butter and jelly sandwich every day, go ahead. Send them with the same lunch every day if they're the kind of kid who just needs the same lunch every day. If your kid needs a different lunch every day, obviously that's a little trickier.But also, if you can say, “Okay, can I use something from dinner?” that can really help. My kids have also learned that they kind of like soup at lunch, and I freeze it in one-cup segments, little portions. They know how to take it out of the freezer, put it in the microwave, heat it up, and put it in the thermos. That's something that I was able to train them to do.So any prep that you can do outside of it, when you're already doing something else, is just going to save you a little time. And then if you can also save time with cleanup by doing it at the same time as dinner, that can be really helpful. We have a whole bunch of under-15-minute lunches in my Everyday Lunches e-book, as well as mix-and-match guides.Sarah: Okay, nice.Jennifer: And they can be really fun. I think engaging your kids, too—finding out what are they going to actually eat, asking them questions. “Does this lunch look okay?” If it comes back uneaten, ask them what was wrong with it so that you can kind of iterate on lunches as well.Sarah: I once accidentally sent a thermos full of hot water with one of my kids to school. I forgot—I think it was probably macaroni and cheese that I was putting in it—and I forgot to put the macaroni and cheese in.Jennifer: Oh my gosh. There are so many times that I've messed up on lunches in one way or another. You do the best you can, you know?Sarah: Yeah. I mentioned before when we were talking about lunches that making food—and I'm somebody who cooks a lot, and I've made a lot of food for 25 or 26 years now with kids—it does take a lot of time and money and energy to make, I'm going to say, “nice food,” whatever that means to you. But the food you feel good about serving your family.If you're short on time, money, energy, or one, two, or three of those things, what's the best use of resources, do you think, for feeding families if you're short on some of that stuff?Jennifer: First, go for frozen fruits and veggies. Just go right there, because that is no compromise whatsoever. It's just a different form of the same food.Sarah: They're often cheaper too, I find. Especially frozen fruit is a lot cheaper than fresh fruit.Jennifer: Yeah. Lean into that first. Also, find some cooking methods that are easy. The other day I put a bunch of chicken thighs in the Crock-Pot and poured some salsa over it. It was delicious at the end of the day. It took me five minutes, if that. I'm trying to think of what I served with it. I think it was leftover rice or something that was already leftover, something I could just quickly heat up in the microwave.I can't remember what we did for veggies, but I could have also added on the side of that just a couple bags of frozen peas, and we would've been good, right? So some bread and some frozen peas. I had a meal that took me maybe 15 minutes to make, very economical. It's really kind of looking for those time-saving prep methods and then saying, “Okay, what can we do?”Sarah: Yeah. One thing I always talk to overwhelmed parents about is trying to just really, really simplify dinner. Coming home, daycare pickup, everyone's tired, blah, blah, blah. And I always have this funny story. Once when I was pregnant with my third, and my other two were two and five, my husband had an out-of-town job for four months, and I was in school full-time.Jennifer: Oh my God.Sarah: It was exhausting. And I would make eggs for dinner a lot.Jennifer: Oh my goodness, yes.Sarah: Eggs and baby carrots and toast were the go-to dinner, to the point where one Saturday morning I said to my sons, “Who wants some fried eggs for breakfast?” And my two-year-old said, “Silly Mommy, fried eggs are for dinner.”Jennifer: I love that. Oh my gosh, we went through years and years and years where at least once a week we had eggs and toast and baby carrots, or some microwave peas or something from the freezer.Canned soup is an okay dinner. There are so many things that I think people are feeling kind of hard on themselves about. Don't listen to other people's rules. What is working for you right now? Go with that.Sarah: Yeah, like pesto pasta and jarred spaghetti sauce and noodles and apple slices. And I think sometimes it's hard for parents, too, because they like to cook and they want to make nice food for themselves, right? But something has to go.Jennifer: Yeah. Something's gotta go, man. Making something nice for yourself—do it when you have a chance, but otherwise it's okay to let that go for now. You'll get it back.That's the other thing. We feel like, “Oh, I don't want to give up this part of myself.” You're not giving it up. You're just saying, “Hey, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to do other things right now, and then at a different stage I will do that again.” I'm actually cooking a lot better now that my kids aren't holding onto my feet and fighting while I'm trying to cook.Well, they still do that, but they're not really getting in the way of cooking. It's so hard to cook with little kids around.Sarah: Totally.Jennifer: I always say I would notoriously let my kids make a huge mess while I was making dinner, and I call it a “time loan.” They're making a huge mess, but I was able to actually get dinner on the table. I got that time, and then, yeah, I'll have to pay it back. I'll have to clean up their mess when they were really little, but it's worth it.And I will also say, if you're having a really hard time budget-wise, but you still have some time to cook, I have a meal plan that's specifically designed to save money. It's all about making the most of the food, using up all leftovers and preventing waste and all that, so that you can really spend significantly less—Sarah: Yeah, I think I saw that a few years ago. We'll link to that. You've had it for a while, right? It's called Affordable Flavors.Yeah, we'll link to that in the show notes. One thing I'm just remembering that we did when my kids were little is there was another family—this woman who had kids around the same age—and we lived a few blocks away. Once a week, we would make double dinner and give it to the other one.Jennifer: I love that.Sarah: Yeah. She was Japanese and a really nice Japanese cook, and my kids actually, to be totally honest, weren't huge fans of her dinners, but my husband and I certainly were.Jennifer: Oh, that's great.Sarah: Yeah. But it was really nice. Once a week, you didn't have to make anything because somebody gave you dinner. And it's not very hard to make double of your own dinner. So if anyone has a neighbor that they could do that with, it was really a nice thing to do.Jennifer: Yeah. That's a great idea.Sarah: Well, thank you so much. Tell us about your book launch. We'll put any links in the show notes, but you told me before that you had some prizes and things for the pre-order.Jennifer: Yeah. So there are a bunch of pre-order bonuses. As soon as you buy the book, you can upload either your receipt or, let's say you requested it from the library, you can upload just proof of that request. I have some printables—how to talk to kids about red foods, orange foods, yellow foods—that are super popular. I usually sell it, but I'm giving that away as a pre-order bonus.There are also mealtime conversation cards coming. There is a live call with my mom that I'm going to be doing that's also recorded, so depending on when you hear this, it's still available. There are also conversations like, what do you say if your kid comes back and says, “I'm fat”? What are some scripts? There are some scripts for that. There's also my bedtime snack chart. There are a lot of tools where you're like, “Okay, I want to make some improvements in different areas.” There are pre-order bonuses that give you tools for almost every area that you could want to apply.And then I'm also doing a really fun book tour where I'm meeting with child feeding and food specialists from all over the United States over time, and I'm going to be posting my interviews online for everybody to see. It's almost like a short-term podcast kind of demo. It's going to be a lot of fun for people to follow along.Sarah: Great. Well, thank you so much for coming on. One last question, which I ask all my guests—and I've asked you this before, so I can go back and compare and see if you answer it the same way—which is: If you could go back in time to your younger parent self, what advice would you give yourself? It can be about anything. It doesn't have to be about food or feeding.Jennifer: Sure. So now that I'm 13 years in, I think the one thing that would've been so helpful for me to know is: It's not my job to make my kid happy. It sounds so simple now, but I'm like, no, it wasn't my job to try to make them stop crying. It was my job to just hold a boundary and be there.And when I stopped, when I just kind of let go of that idea of trying to make them happy, oh my gosh, the weight, the drama—it just went away. It's like, “Oh, it's okay for you to be unhappy. That's you and your feelings over there, and I'm here to support. I'm here for you.” And also, it's not my job to fix that.Sarah: Yeah. Great. Well, thank you so much. Best place for folks to go and find out more about you and what you do?Jennifer: Kids Eat in Color, whether that's kidsincolor.com or on your favorite social media. I'm there.Sarah: All right. Thank you so much, Jennifer.Jennifer: Thank you so much for having me. This is a public episode.

Dr. Marc Faber editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, returns to argue that we are witnessing the first phase of the piercing of the greatest global investment mania. He explains why central bank money printing has inflated asset prices far beyond economic reality — enriching asset holders while ordinary people face a cost of living he estimates is rising 7–12% a year, not the official 3–4%. Faber walks through the cracks already visible: collapsing commercial property values, falling home prices, meme stocks and SPACs that never recovered their 2021 peaks, a narrowing market advance, the semiconductor unwind, and the speculative blow-off in Korea. He argues the 10-year Treasury should yield at least 6.5%, that the Fed should have been hiking rather than cutting, and that the US may already be in recession. With interest costs on federal debt above $1 trillion a year, he says more money printing isn't a choice but an inevitability — and warns that bubbles typically end with the revelation of a massive fraud. His advice is blunt: this is not a market for making money, it's a market for losing the least. He makes the case for broad diversification across cash, bonds, precious metals, and real estate, explains why he refuses to own index funds, shares why Thailand is his largest position, and closes on gold, hyperinflation, and why he thinks the price should already be far higher.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links:The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report: https://www.gloomboomdoom.comTimestamps:00:00 Intro: Marc Faber returns01:06 The macro picture: money printing and record wealth inequality03:33 Why capitalism made the world rich, and who got left behind05:21 The stock market is in the sky, but ordinary life isn't06:58 First signs the investment mania is being pierced07:35 Why printed money doesn't lift everything at once09:55 Commercial and residential property prices roll over10:45 Meme stocks, SPACs, Mag 7 and the semiconductor unwind11:30 Korea: the biggest bubble nobody's talking about12:15 The missing link: a massive fraud is coming13:48 Nominal vs real: how money printing masks the damage14:45 Real inflation is 7-12%, not 3-4%15:49 Where rates should be: 6.5% on the 10-year16:27 Government debt, $1T interest, and why the deficit can't shrink17:56 The situation is hopeless18:39 Where Faber puts his own money20:20 More money printing is inevitable21:27 Assessing Kevin Warsh at the Fed22:33 The Fed should have hiked, and the US is already in recession23:23 Intervention and the death of free markets25:52 The contrarian bond call and the case for diversification28:17 The government has become the mafia28:42 Why a debt crisis is unavoidable29:55 Sell early, but where do you hide?31:34 Thin ice: why ordinary people are forced to speculate31:59 Affordability at the worst level ever32:25 The passive investing problem35:10 Index concentration vs the other 493 stocks36:13 Lessons from 1987: down 21% in a single day37:26 One year from now: a lot of people will lose a lot of money38:35 Hong Kong war stories: the traders who lost everything40:11 The contrarian buy: Thailand, the failed state41:30 Food self-sufficiency, safety, and life in Asia43:56 Where to find his work45:11 Gold, and why he says it should already be $100,00046:07 Hyperinflation, Zimbabwe, and central bank role models

The internet is buzzing right now about Ariana Grande — her stepping back from public life, and her message asking people to stop commenting on her body. And underneath this whole conversation is something every one of us needs to hear, because it goes straight to the heart of recovery. Today, with a whole lot of grace, we're talking about the word "healthy" — and how it can become one of the most slippery slopes in all of recovery. I'm not here to speculate about anyone's private health (that's actually part of my point). I'm here to name the lie our culture keeps selling us: that thinner automatically means healthier. Sis, it doesn't — and the science agrees with me. The part she got so right For years, Ariana has asked people to stop commenting on her body, recently re-sharing that message as a "loving reminder." And she's right. There's a comfortability in our culture with narrating other people's bodies, faces, and weight — and it's dangerous for everyone. We have to stop this. Stop the "did she lose weight," stop the "is she okay, she looks so thin." You never know who's in recovery. You never know whose daughter is listening. You never know what your words land on top of. Where the fire got lit in me Somewhere in this conversation came the idea that an older, fuller version of a body wasn't "the healthy one." That may be completely true for any given person — only they and their care team could know. But that exact sentence — "my old body wasn't the healthy one" — is a sentence I told myself. It's one I've heard from a hundred women in this community. And it's one of the most slippery sentences in recovery, because the eating disorder is a master at wearing the costume of wellness. It doesn't say "let's be destructive." It says "let's just be healthy, let's just be clean, let's just be disciplined." When "healthy" is actually the disorder talking Let me be clear, because I lived it: Eating very little and calling it clean Only eating foods with five ingredients or less and calling it healthy Cutting whole food groups and calling it a lifestyle Being so consumed by "wellness" that you can't sit at the family table, can't travel without a plan, can't be spontaneous, can't live That is not health. That's a disorder in a wellness costume. And the hardest part? When you're in it, you believe your own lie. For a long time I fully believed I was just "making healthy choices." It felt like virtue. It felt like discipline. That's what makes the distortion so dangerous — from the inside, it feels like truth. The lie our culture keeps selling We're in a moment where thinness is loudly celebrated again — and our teens, our tweens, the young women who idolize who they follow are absorbing the message that thinner automatically equals healthier and better. The science says otherwise. In the large studies on weight and mortality, being underweight carries a significantly elevated risk of death — roughly one and a half times higher in many studies, and several times higher in some populations. Meanwhile, the category our culture panics about — "overweight" (a BMI of 25–30, without obesity) — is consistently not linked to higher mortality, and in a number of large studies is associated with slightly lower risk than "normal" weight. Let that land. The body our culture tells you to fear is often not the dangerous one. The body our culture applauds can be hiding real danger. Thin is not a synonym for healthy. It never was. We also don't get to pretend we see nothing Here's the nuance, held with honesty: "stop commenting on bodies" is true — and love sometimes notices. When people express genuine concern for someone they can see is struggling, that isn't always cruelty. Sometimes it's the same instinct that makes a mother knock on a door. The problem isn't caring — it's consuming: the speculation, the spectacle, strangers turning a real person into content. So here's the line: we don't get to narrate, diagnose, or gossip about anyone's body. But those of us who love someone up close, in the flesh? We can gently, privately say "I love you, and I'm here." That's not commenting on a body. That's loving a person. You are not your body If you take one thing from today: your body is the least interesting thing about you. You are your kindness. Your humor. Your faith. The way you love your people. The dreams only you carry. The calling on your one and only life. The fact that our whole culture talks about a brilliant artist's body instead of her art is exactly the sickness we're naming. You were never meant to be scrutinized as a body — you were meant to be known as a soul. A few lines from the episode "The eating disorder is a master at wearing the costume of wellness." "That is not health. That's a disorder in a wellness costume." "When you're in it, you believe your own lie. From the inside, the distortion feels like truth." "Thin is not a synonym for healthy. It never was." "The problem isn't caring — it's consuming." "Your body is the least interesting thing about you." Your invitation this week One: Catch yourself before you comment on any body — anyone's, including your own. Notice it, and choose not to. Starve the habit. Two: Question the word "healthy" every time it shows up in your head this week. Ask honestly: Is this actually health — or the disorder wearing health's clothes? Would this choice let me live my life, or does it shrink it? That one question is a powerful flashlight. Ready to stop doing this alone? Connect with Lindsey:

The British Army in the Second World War is often judged through the lens of manpower shortages and a sense of being overstretched. Critics point to a force spread across too many theatres and suggest that this inevitably limited its effectiveness. But is that a fair assessment of an army that expanded from a few hundred thousand men into a global fighting force of over eight million, operating across Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Far East? In this episode, I am joined by Brian Walter to explore his argument that the British and Commonwealth armies emerged from the legacy of the First World War as a reduced force, entered the Second World War underprepared, but went on to adapt, expand, and ultimately play a decisive role in defeating Germany, Italy, and Japan across multiple theatres of war. Brian is the author of The Thin Khaki Line: An Operational History of the British and Commonwealth Armies during World War II.

BEEF Let's start with some really good news. For the first time since 2018 the US cattle herd increased by 200K head to 94.2 million head, this however is not the start of beef herd building we've been looking for. The increases are in dairy cows, the beef herd actually declined 200K head to 28.5 million head. I do see some signs of heifer retention with ranchers reserving additional head for breeding. I'm still taking this as a good sign. Additional good news: Our southern border will open to Mexican livestock with one port opening August 24 in Arizona. This entry will probably only be about 3,000 head per week, but we will take the progress. We've gone a week with no new New World screw worm cases, so let's keep the momentum going. Onto the current beef market and we continue to move lower finishing July, and I'd expect the early part of August will continue the decline. There is an exception as ribeyes and tenderloins seem to have done their summer declines; while the rest of the market softens, they have some demand behind them to keep from further declines. Declines from last week continue though they are getting smaller, and I do think we'll see a bottom to this current market in the next couple weeks. Thin meats, rounds and chucks all moving lower, even grinds, which I almost thought invincible to market declines, are moving lower. I'd still stay ahead of your needs but as this market declines there will be opportunities. POULTRY Chicken market is down for next week. Boneless skinless randoms, tenders and even wings are all moving lower. This strong production we've seen all year seems to finally be catching up the producers lowering prices to keep things moving. I thought we'd see a minor increase but we're going the other way. Makes chicken a great value this summer. On the avian flu beat – two weeks, no new cases. We'll take that all day long. GRAINS Last week had all the grain markets moving higher, even corn. Well, that was last week. This week, except for wheat being affected by international unrest and domestic crop stress, corn and soy are moving back down. This week's corn closed at $4.69 down from last week $4.84. Soy closed $11.71 down from $12.26 last week. Soy oil should move lower over the next couple weeks. PORK Pork bellies are up again this week, closing today at $159 over last week's close of $156. While I do think we have a couple more weeks to go, I think we've got a week or two more before declining again heading into fall. Right now, it's all moving higher. Bellies are about the only thing pushing higher and pork, butts, ribs and loins, steady to down slightly. DAIRY The recent run up on the CME for the block and the barrel seems to have run out of steam. Through Thursday's close block is down 8, barrel is down 5 and butter continues lower down 11. Plenty of raw material available and we're seeing a slowdown heading into August. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
Thin, is unfortunately in. The defining mantra of the 90s and early aughts, has reappeared as celebrities, influencers and everyday women shrink in size. But as people get smaller, others are talking. Online and in person, imperfect, candid and concern conversations are happening about the the thinner frames we see online and in person. But what's the best way to have these conversations? To learn how Brittany spoke with Angelina Chapman, features writer at The Cut and Vanessa Scaringi, PhD, licensed psychologist, to learn how to express concern, without pointing fingers.Want more about body image?

BEEF The beef market is continuing lower this week though I do see some slowing in the declines. Production continues restrained with 525K harvested last week, down from 529k the week prior. We may see even lower production numbers this week and moving into August to try and bolster some of price drops. Middle meats continue to lead the way lower, mainly the strip loin; tenders and ribeyes both lower but not by much. Grinds moved lower a second week, that I am surprised to see. Chucks and rounds are mostly trading sideways with some lower prices but mostly just treading water. Thin meats have more to go but finally are moving lower which was really needed. Overall, the market is soft even with tight inventories. Buy to stay ahead of your needs but no need to stretch too far out. POULTRY I've been talking all year how chicken production is up, and they don't seem to be holding back, expecting to replace beef on the consumer's table. While demand for wings is pushing pricing up again next week, boneless skinless randoms and tenders are holding steady again for next week. While I do think the next move should be higher, I don't think it will be more than a few cents up right now. On the avian flu beat, first time in weeks, no new cases reported. GRAINS International unrest and spikes in oil prices come right into our food sector pushing all our grains higher, even corn. Corn closed at $4.84/bushel up from last week $4.67, soybeans up closing at $12.26 over last week's $11.95 and wheat closed at $6.83 up from $6.69. We have the inventory to meet demand; pricing will be pushing higher every day. PORK Pork bellies closed today at $156 up from last week $147. I don't think this is done at all. Expect to peak sometime in August. Butts, loins, and ribs all moving slightly lower making pork a very attractive protein buy. DAIRY At the close of today's CME, block is up 5, barrel is up 3 and butter heads lower another week, down 5. Not sure how long this run up will continue but I don't expect too much longer.

Original Air Date: 07/25/26 Episode Number: 469Episode SummaryA listener question about painting aluminum siding kicks off the show, and Dan splits the answer across two segments with a detour in the middle: a full conversation on how to identify and safely clean biological growth off the exterior of your home -- algae, mold, mildew, moss, and lichen. The aluminum siding answer wraps up at the end with product recommendations and a strong case for always doing two coats. Moss and lichen get their own episode next week.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Kickoff[00:30] -- Listener Question: Aluminum Siding[01:44] -- Oxidation and Prep Basics[03:58] -- Wash, Scrub, Rinse[05:42] -- Hand Test and Inspection[07:21] -- Primer or Not[08:11] -- Switch to Algae Topic[08:53] -- Brick Recap and What Triggered This[12:20] -- What Growth Is It?[13:32] -- Algae, Moss, Lichen, Mold[16:16] -- Efflorescence Sidebar[17:29] -- Moisture Causes First[19:01] -- Cleaning Safely Tease[20:01] -- Moss vs. Mold Distinction[21:00] -- Golden Rule: Gentle Cleaning[22:47] -- Pick the Right Cleaner[25:50] -- Prep Before Repainting[27:09] -- Hose, Not Pressure Washer[29:53] -- Why Not Straight Bleach[31:22] -- Protect Plants from Runoff[32:41] -- Fix the Moisture Root Cause[33:56] -- Aluminum Siding Paint Picks[34:45] -- Two Coats Really Matters[36:33] -- Best Benjamin Moore Options[38:54] -- Temperature and Wrap UpListener Question: Aluminum Siding [00:30]A listener wrote in asking about painting their tan aluminum-sided house a darker blue. They wanted to know what prep was involved, whether one-coat coverage was possible, and what products to use.Dan splits the answer into two segments. The short version on the one-coat question: two coats, always. The longer version on everything else follows below.Oxidation and Prep Basics [01:44]The single most important thing to understand about painting aluminum siding is oxidation. If you've ever rubbed your hand across older aluminum and ended up with white chalky powder on your palm, that's the original factory finish breaking down from years of sun, rain, and weather. That chalk has to come off before any paint goes on.Paint bonds to a surface. If that surface is a loose layer of chalk sitting on top of old factory finish, the paint is bonding to the chalk -- not to the siding. When the chalk lets go, the new paint goes with it. This is the most common reason aluminum siding paint jobs fail, and it's entirely avoidable.A pressure washer alone won't get you there. It'll knock off dirt and cobwebs, but it doesn't automatically remove oxidation. Dan compares it to washing your car with only a pressure washer after an entire Michigan summer of construction zones and dirt roads -- you'll get some of it, but you won't get all of it.Wash, Scrub, Rinse [03:58]Start with a good exterior house cleaner that's built to break down dirt, grime, mildew, and oxidized residue. Apply it, and then physically scrub the surface -- a soft-bristle siding brush on an extension pole makes this manageable. Work in sections so you can scrub and rinse before the cleaner dries on the siding.You can use a pressure washer for rinsing, but keep the pressure reasonable and always direct the spray downward the way rain would naturally hit the siding. Shooting water upward beneath the panel laps can drive moisture into the wall. The pressure washer is a rinsing and help-with-cleaning tool. The scrubbing still has to happen.Hand Test and Inspection [05:42]Once the siding is dry, perform the hand test: rub your palm firmly across the surface. If it comes away clean, you're good to move on. If there's still a chalky residue on your hand, keep cleaning. The surface doesn't need to be microscopically perfect, but you should not be able to casually wipe your hand across it and look like you've been handling powdered sugar.While you're working your way around the house, inspect as you go. Look for peeling paint, corrosion, bare aluminum, dents, damaged panels, and failed caulk around windows, doors, and penetrations. Bare or corroded areas may need spot priming before finish paint -- bring photos into RepcoLite and they'll point you toward the right primer. Loose paint should be scraped away and edges feather-sanded so they don't telegraph through the new finish.Primer or Not [07:21]If the original factory finish is clean, intact, and firmly bonded, you do not need to prime the whole house. No matter what you read online. A high-quality exterior acrylic straight over a clean, sound factory finish is the right call. Primer is for bare spots and problem areas only.Biological Growth: What Are You Actually Looking At? [12:20]Dan took a walk around his own house after mentioning offhand on last week's show that brick doesn't need much maintenance -- "every now and then you clean the algae off." That comment nagged at him all week until he went and looked. His back wall, under two old maple trees, was covered in green growth on both the brick and the vinyl siding on the addition. This week's middle segment covers what to do about it.Before you clean anything, figure out what you're actually dealing with. The growth type matters, and the surface it's on matters just as much.Algae is the most common. Thin, flat, greenish film, usually on shaded or damp areas. Feels slick when wet. Spreads across the surface rather than growing in clumps.Moss is thicker and softer -- you know what it looks like. It holds moisture against the wall, which creates problems depending on what the wall is made of. On vinyl it's mainly a staining and maintenance issue since vinyl doesn't rot, but on wood siding or shingles it can contribute to paint peeling, decay, and eventually rot. On brick, stucco, or stone it keeps mortar joints and damaged areas wetter longer than they should be.Lichen is crusty and firmly attached -- it can be gray, yellow, pale green, orange, or black. It's the toughest of the group to remove because it grips the surface aggressively. On soft brick or old mortar, scraping it off can pull part of the surface along with it. Lichen on roofs gets its own conversation next week.Mold and mildew tend to appear darker, blotchy, fuzzy, or powdery.Efflorescence -- the white, fuzzy stuff sometimes seen on brick or concrete -- looks biological but isn't. It's salt deposits left behind by moisture moving through the masonry. Address the moisture source; don't just clean it off and move on.Dan is covering algae, mold, and mildew this week. Moss and lichen get their own episode next week, including how to deal with them on the roof.Fix the Moisture Problem First [17:29]Cleaning is not a permanent fix if you don't address why the growth is there. Moisture is the cause of all of it.Before mixing any cleaner, look at what's creating the damp conditions: overflowing gutters, a downspout dumping water next to the wall, a sprinkler hitting the siding, shrubs growing too tight against the house and blocking airflow, mulch or soil piled high against the brick, or heavy shade from tree canopy keeping the wall from drying out. If you clean the wall and leave the moisture problem in place, the growth is going to come back -- sometimes pretty quickly.Cleaning Safely: JoeMax [22:47]Start with the gentlest method that will get the job done. Don't reach for the strongest chemical available or fire up the pressure washer first.Inspect the surface before you do anything. On brick, check the mortar joints -- is it solid or loose and powdery? On siding, look for loose panels, open caulk joints, peeling paint, or damaged edges. The condition of the surface determines how carefully you have to work.Also confirm you're actually dealing with biological growth and not just dirt or pollen. If it's just a surface film of grime, mild dish soap, a scrub brush, and a hose will probably handle it without any specialty product.If it's actual biological growth, the product Dan recommends is JoeMax House Cleaner and Mildew Killer. It's a concentrate that combines a mildewcide, bleach activator, and detergents. You mix it with household bleach and water. It kills mold and mildew and lifts dirt and staining at the same time, and it's rated for virtually every surface on the outside of a house -- vinyl, aluminum, painted or stained wood, trim, fences, stucco, concrete, and brick. One product covers everything. For Dan's situation with both brick and vinyl on the same house, that matters.Using it is straightforward: mix per the label, spray on, give it about five minutes to work, and rinse off. Most smooth surfaces won't need scrubbing. Textured surfaces like brick may need a light scrub. Mix only what you'll use in the next few hours -- once bleach is added, it's only good for a short time and can't be saved.Why Not Just Use Straight Bleach? [29:53]Bleach is not a great cleaner on its own. It beads up and runs off rather than wetting the surface and lifting residue. It also flashes off quickly -- it can lighten a mildew stain and evaporate before it actually kills the growth, so the problem comes right back. JoeMax has detergents that let it wet the surface, carry the contamination away, and stay active long enough to do the job properly.Hose, Not Pressure Washer [27:09]For the actual cleaning, a garden hose with a...
Ken lays out why the three-week LeBron decision saga has him ready to move on, arguing this isn't 2014 and the Cavs are still a good team with or without him. He and Anthony debate whether fans should temper championship expectations given LeBron's age, and Ken pushes back on criticism that he doesn't care by pointing out he's just tired of nothing new being said. The two also dig into the Heat's leaked press conference link, guessing it's likely a staffer's mistake rather than a real signal, and pivot to fresher storylines like the Browns' quarterback battle.

The SaaS world is in the middle of a brutal reckoning. Products that looked innovative 18 months ago are quietly becoming redundant — not because markets disappeared, but because the floor rose. In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Brian Herr, a 30-year technology and SaaS veteran, to dissect what it actually takes to build a software business that survives — and wins — in the age of AI.Brian brings sharp investor-grade thinking to the conversation, drawing on his work with startups, venture studios, and PE-backed companies. They cover the death of thin-wrapper SaaS, why blocking AI agents is a catastrophic mistake, how security and compliance have become unexpected competitive moats, and the critical distinction between a product that helps and one that solves. If you build software or provide services, this episode is non-negotiable.Key Takeaways4:08 — The value expectation from SaaS platforms is shifting fast. Thin wrappers around someone else's AI model have no future — customers will ask why they're paying when they can do it themselves.4:53 — Companies that survive will be the ones that solve real problems, curate the right data, and give meaningful feedback — not just deliver a slick interface.6:46 — Investor rubrics have changed. A key new question before committing capital: "Can this be replicated as a Claude skill or agent in six months?" If yes, it's not fundable.7:39 — Where physical world meets digital data is a major investment magnet. These companies have stronger moats, are more AI-resistant, and occupy underserved territory.13:53 — Natural language interfaces are no longer a differentiator — they're an expectation. And Brian's crystal ball: local on-device AI will push this even further into everyday life.14:29 — Natural language is democratizing technology for older users. If you don't have a conversational interface, the market will pass you by.20:23 — Agents are no longer just for technologists. CFOs and revenue officers are using them. Blocking agents is a strategic blunder — competitors are advertising agent compatibility while you're building walls.21:00 — The smart play: figure out what people are doing with agents hitting your platform and monetize it. Blocking just pushes them to your API — or to a competitor.21:20 — Every SaaS company needs a quarterly gut-check: What is my value? What do I do well? How do I evolve? A business plan from one year ago doesn't fit today's market.33:04 — Security, compliance, and certifiability are the new defensible moat. You literally cannot vibe-code your way into SOC 2, HIPAA, or AI trust scores. That's the value story.33:59 — The AIUC-1 framework is making AI applications insurable for the first time. MITRE has joined the consortium. If your SaaS uses AI, this becomes part of your trust story.39:50 — The single most important product question: Does it help, or does it solve? Helpful gets cut from budgets. Essential doesn't.43:09 — Going niche gives you orders-of-magnitude higher odds of success. Trying to do what everyone else is doing? Your chance of success drops to 13% or less.47:37 — Brand trust and human relationships are more important than ever. People do business with people. When you become indifferent to your customers, you become a vendor. Vendors don't survive.Tweetable Quotes"If someone opened a fresh ChatGPT window right now and got roughly the same result your product delivers — would your customers notice the difference, or would they even care?" — Jeff Mains"The thin wrappers aren't going to make it very long. What's going to survive is companies that still solve real problems, curate the right data, and give the right feedback." — Brian Herr"One of our investment rubrics now: Can this be turned into a Claude skill or agent in six months? If so, it doesn't make sense for us to invest." — Brian Herr"Natural language interfaces are now an expectation, not a differentiator. If you think you'll eventually get around to it, the market will pass you." — Brian Herr"Helpful solutions get cut from the budget first. Solutions that solve don't. Stop asking whether you can bolt on AI and start asking whether customers actually need YOUR data and process to make it work at all." — Jeff Mains"Agents are becoming for everyone — especially as the interface evolves. Blocking them is evolve or die." — Brian Herr"Figure out what people are doing with agents and monetize it. People will pay for it. By being a blocker, you're just pushing them to find another way." — Brian Herr"People do business with people. When you become indifferent to your customers, you stop being a partner and become a vendor. Vendors have a hard time surviving." — Brian Herr"Success is a journey, not an endpoint. The founders who make it understand you're going to be a little wrong — as long as you course correct in the right direction." — Brian HerrSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Moat = Data + IP + Experience, Not Interface A beautiful UI sitting on top of a commodity model is not a business — it's a countdown clock. Your defensible moat is proprietary data, domain expertise, and institutional knowledge that competitors cannot prompt their way into.2. Run a Quarterly Value Audit Especially in the $5M–$15M revenue range, ask yourself every quarter: Does my business plan still match the market? What do I do well, and how am I evolving? Founders who don't course-correct veer further off target every quarter until they no longer recognize where the target moved.3. Embrace Agents as a Revenue Channel, Not a Threat Your API traffic spikes are signals, not attacks. When agents are hitting your platform, that's demand you haven't monetized yet. Build for agent access, charge for it, and let your competitors play defense while you build offense.4. Compliance and Trust Are Your Unfair Advantage In a world where anyone can vibe-code a competitor over a weekend, the thing they cannot replicate is your certifications, your compliance posture, your years of regulated-market experience, and your insurance-grade AI trust scores (AIUC-1). Make this part of your sales story.5. Help vs. Solve Is the Only Product Question That Matters Helpful products live in discretionary budgets — they're the first cut when times get hard. Products that solve real, urgent problems command non-negotiable budget lines. Every feature you build, every market you target: ask which one it is.6. Stay a Partner, Never Become a Vendor When customers feel like a transaction to you, you become a commodity to them. In the $5M–$15M range, clients know your team personally — that trust is a competitive advantage. Build systems to maintain it as you scale, or risk waking up one day to find out you've been quietly moved to the vendor pile.Guest ResourcesWebsite: https://www.startingblocks.io/LinkedIn (6k): https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-herr/https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kS1WsPODEaqtMnB_g1_Dut6oTv1FYYvXEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

This episode brings together two experts to discuss recent second-round presidential elections in Peru and Colombia: Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow at WOLA and professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government, and a leading expert on Peru; and Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, WOLA's Director for the Andes, who maintains close contact with Colombian civil society. Both elections produced razor-thin margins, and both delivered victories to right-wing, populist candidates promising crackdowns on crime and a hard line against their political adversaries. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won the presidency on her fourth attempt, while in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeated left-leaning Iván Cepeda. Burt describes Fujimori's ascent as the culmination of years spent consolidating control over Peru's key institutions, like Congress, the constitutional tribunal, and the attorney general's office. She characterizes Fujimori as "singularly motivated, singularly ambitious, and singularly ruthless," shaped by her upbringing under her father Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian government. Burt warns that Fujimori is driven by a desire for revenge against those who helped prosecute and imprison her father, including journalists like Gustavo Gorriti, human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. She details a legislative landscape already tilted toward impunity—amnesty laws shielding police and military, and restrictions crippling NGOs' ability to represent victims. Burt argues Peru has drifted toward a hybrid or even authoritarian regime. Sánchez-Garzoli paints a tense picture in Colombia, where outgoing President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the election results, alleging fraud and foreign interference despite institutional findings to the contrary. She notes intervention by the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers. With the transition suspended and Petro calling supporters into the streets, while armed groups reposition, Sánchez-Garzoli warns of a real risk of political violence. She outlines de la Espriella's "iron fist" agenda: mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, reviving the controversial ESMAD riot police, and a "special urban defense bloc" that she fears could blur the line between state security and paramilitary activity, echoing Colombia's dark history. "Colombia can't return to the belief that problems can be solved through bullets," she says, paraphrasing Colombian human rights defender Leyner Palacios. The conversation explores the deeper social fractures driving these results: in Peru, divisions of race, class, and region between Lima and the neglected Andean provinces, alongside a "frozen" collective memory of the 1980s-90s internal armed conflict manipulated to smear the left as communist. In Colombia, urban-rural divides also shape perceptions of security and the peace process. Both guests anticipate closer alignment with Washington, though they distinguish ideological affinity from generous funding. Sánchez-Garzoli expects a "total reset" in U.S.-Colombia relations, possible joint operations, and migration cooperation including reports of a plan to facilitate deportations of Colombian asylum seekers. Burt notes U.S. concern over China's growing influence in Peru. Despite the grim outlook, both find grains of hope: in Peru, a tentative opposition alliance and a still-vibrant regional civil society; in Colombia, strong institutions, a diverse Congress, and a resilient press and civil society. The episode closes with a reflection that both presidents-elect, lacking strong bases, face the "Milei challenge" of governing without a coalition.
Oil prices remain under pressure as the new Iran blockade raises fresh questions about how long global supplies can hold up without another major disruption.Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti break down why the Strait of Hormuz remains a key risk for oil markets, how depleted reserves and record-high crack spreads are keeping pressure on gas prices, and why China's oil demand could quickly change the global supply picture. They also discuss the hidden volatility beneath the S&P 500, why labor force participation may point to a tighter jobs market than headline numbers suggest, how the coming Boomer wealth transfer could widen the gap between wealthy families and everyone else, and why Kevin Warsh is using his first major testimony to build credibility as an inflation fighter.
SkinnyTok is here, GLP-1s are everywhere, and those of us who grew up in the original Y2K era know how this story ends. In this episode of Embody Radio, I'm going back to when I was 8: the year my ballet teacher wrote across my report card that I'd never be a professional dancer because I didn't have "a dancer's body," to unpack not so much why ultra-thin culture keeps finding its way back into the mainstream, but how this round hits different than the OG Y2K so many of us came from. I get into why body trends are bottomless by design (there's no finish line, because the pursuit is the point, not the arrival) and why chasing thinness (or ANY body trend) was never really about the body. It was about a version of confidence that no trend can actually sell you. If you've ever wondered whether you should try a GLP-1 you don't medically need, or felt a pang watching everyone get smaller again, this one's for you. - For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get up to 39% off Mitopure Gummies with code EMDUNC and make wellness easier than ever.
