Trust today that your steps are being established by the Lord. When it's time to take the next step, God will it clear. As you wait, believe that even though the waiting may not make sense, God's will is being performed in your life. His will, His plan, and His timing is perfect.Main Points:1. God is never early, never late, but he's always on time. Our timing isn't God's timing. For us, God's timing often feels like a long, desperate delay.2. I'm struck with how many verses there are in the Bible that talk about waiting on God. One Bible scholar has found that the word “wait” is in the Bible 154 times. That is a lot of waiting. I don't know about you, but I don't particularly enjoy waiting. Yet, if God makes us wait, there is a reason. There is something to be learned in the waiting and I don't want to miss the lesson.3. The Holy Spirit is alive and active in the life of the believer. One of his purposes is to bring guidance and direction to our lives. He is faithful to lead us to God's plan, but He can also be trusted to guide us to God's timing.Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 31:15 - "My times are in Your hands ..."Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time.”Proverbs 16:9 - “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
Baby hit four months and sleep went sideways? HeHe's Baby Sleep Solutions Guide covers exactly that, grab it here: https://www.thebirthlounge.com/babysleep Part three of the tongue tie series, and this one goes somewhere completely different. HeHe sits down with Michelle Emmanuel, a baby-specialized occupational therapist with 30 years in the field, to answer a question that never even crossed her mind before this conversation, what if a tongue tie isn't just about feeding at all? Michelle breaks down why oral restrictions are connective tissue, not muscle, and why they start forming as early as eight to nine weeks in utero, genetically, before anything about birth or positioning even gets involved. From there she connects dots HeHe did not see coming, torticollis, high palate, micrognathia, a distended belly, reflux, slow gastric motility, even head shape and posture, all potentially tracing back to the same restricted tissue. Michelle's line that stuck with HeHe: the tongue is a multi-muscular midline organ connected all the way down to the toes. Then HeHe gets vulnerable. Her son's tongue release at 48 hours old changed everything for breastfeeding overnight, but tummy time was still a nightmare, screaming, arching, refusing to tolerate it on any flat surface. Turns out that was a sign too. After staged revisions of his buccal ties and upper lip tie, tummy time stopped being torture and started being something he actually enjoyed. Michelle explains why that connection is real, why staged releases can be the smarter call for a brand new baby, and why rushing a release before a baby's tissue and nervous system are ready can actually backfire. They also get into the messier, more honest parts of this world, the total lack of research on wound care and buccal or lip tie releases, why Michelle avoids the word "tongue tie" now in favor of "oral dysfunction and restrictions," and what to do when your pediatrician brushes off your concerns (her answer, start with an IBCLC). And because airway is where this whole series is headed, Michelle closes with the direct line between tongue mobility, mouth breathing, snoring, and the sleep disruption so many parents chalk up to "just a bad sleeper." Oh, and don't skip the part where HeHe finally reveals which laundry detergent won the great mom-group debate, you'll want to hear this one.

Welcome to this week's Midlife Minute! Today, I examine partial and full hysterectomies and what we know about their potential long-term effects, clarifying what the research tells us about bone, brain, and cardiovascular health, and what women should discuss with their healthcare providers before and after surgery. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How a partial hysterectomy differs from a full hysterectomy, and the abrupt estrogen changes ovarian removal can produce Why having a hysterectomy before ages 40-45 can have a greater impact than having surgery closer to natural menopausal age. How a hysterectomy can impact women's bone health What the research reveals about the connection between surgical menopause at a younger age, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's pathology How a hysterectomy can affect women's cardiovascular health Why starting HRT early after an early-age hysterectomy could be important for your long-term health Why younger women who experience surgical menopause may require higher estradiol doses than the standard menopausal regimens The importance of advocating for yourself, understanding your personal risk, and talking with your clinician about estrogen and other hormone therapy before undergoing surgery Quotes: “Start those conversations early- before you ever have surgery.” “If you are having these surgeries done before 45, before 40, you need HRT!” “We have to manage our stress.” “We have to get enough sleep.” “We should be strength training.” “We should be physically active.” “We should be eating an anti-inflammatory diet.” Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

What if the problem in front of you is actually hiding an opportunity you haven't seen yet?I've been thinking a lot about how we see things because the way you see a situation can completely change how you respond to it. We're living in a time where there is so much uncertainty. AI is changing industries, markets are shifting, businesses are adjusting, and it would be really easy to look around and see nothing but problems.But here's what I believe: opportunities almost always come disguised as problems.In this episode of The You Are More Podcast, I'm talking about the story of the twelve spies and something that has been challenging me personally. Twelve people looked at the exact same Promised Land. They saw the same giants, the same obstacles, and the same circumstances. Ten came back convinced they couldn't do it. Two looked at those same giants and said, “We are well able. Let's go possess.”That's the difference perspective can make.Faith doesn't mean pretending the giant isn't there. It means refusing to make the giant bigger than God.I'm also sharing something that happened to me recently when I found myself talking about everything that felt hard—the uphill battles, the weariness, the things that weren't moving the way I wanted them to. Sometimes you need to get those things out, but I also knew I couldn't stay there. If all I rehearse are problems, eventually problems are all I'm going to see.So I had to ask myself: How am I seeing this?Maybe that's the question you need to ask too.When you don't know what to do, ask God for wisdom. When you're sitting in the boardroom and the answers aren't coming, ask Him. When the relationship feels tangled, ask Him. When the circumstances in front of you say there is no way, remember that you carry the divine genius of God on the inside of you.You do not have to figure everything out in your own strength.And when you start questioning whether you can move forward, go back and rehearse your victories. One of my dear friends used to tell me, “Amy, you and God have a good track record.”Maybe you need to remind yourself of your own track record with Him.Remember the door He opened. Remember the provision. Remember the thing you thought would never work out. Remember the season you weren't sure you would survive.Then take another step.When the Israelites were standing at the Red Sea with Pharaoh behind them, mountains around them, and water in front of them, God told them to go forward.Sometimes you don't need to see the entire path. You just need to move.In this episode, I'm also talking about why your perspective affects your words, your emotions, and ultimately your actions; how fear can sometimes disguise itself as wisdom; why timing and seasons matter; what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teach us about walking through the fire; and why sometimes you simply need to get your fight back.I think about David standing in front of Goliath. Everyone else saw an impossible problem. David remembered the lion. He remembered the bear. He remembered what God had already brought him through.He had history.And so do you.If you've been weary, uncertain, or beaten down by what's happening around you, I want this episode to help you get your “God's got me” back.God is not caught off guard by what you're facing. He has already gone before you. You don't have to navigate this season alone.So ask yourself:How am I seeing it?Am I only seeing the problem, or am I looking for the possibility?Am I staring at the giant, or am I remembering who is with me?Sometimes the opportunity has been hiding inside the problem the entire time.Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep walking.✨ Join me every Thursday morning at 6:00 AM Central for my 30-minute Zoom Bible study.

Welcome to The Counseling Room, where Dr. Darlene Turner brings a safe space to you.When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him in the WaitingHave you ever prayed, waited, and asked God for direction—only to feel like He isn't answering?In this episode of The Counseling Room, Dr. Darlene Turner explores what happens when God feels silent and how those seasons can affect us emotionally and spiritually. When we don't have answers, our minds can begin to fill in the silence with fear, worry, and worst-case scenarios.But God's silence does not mean God's absence.Using Isaiah 40:31 as a foundation, Dr. Turner reminds us that waiting isn't necessarily a season of weakness. It can be a place where God renews and strengthens us. Like a seed growing beneath the soil, God may be doing something beneath the surface that we cannot see yet.Dr. Turner also connects faith with emotional health, encouraging us to recognize the anxiety that uncertainty can create and to resist the temptation to solve tomorrow today.Whether you're waiting for an answer, healing, direction, or a change in your circumstances, this episode offers a reminder to keep trusting God—even when you cannot see what He is doing.Keep trusting. Keep praying. Keep believing. God is still there in the silence.

Sales coaching works. The problem is getting enough of it, at the right time. In this episode of Sales Today, Fred is joined by returning guest Kevin Beales, founder of My Sales Coach, to explore how AI could help solve that problem without trying to replace the human coach. They discuss the disconnect between what managers call coaching and what salespeople actually experience, why more technology hasn't necessarily created more capable sellers, and where AI genuinely adds value. The opportunity? Combine the empathy, expertise and judgement of a human coach with AI's ability to provide frequency, availability, context and timely intervention. In this episode: Why sales coaching is more than simply asking good questions The difference between coaching for growth and managing for performance Why AI role play and feedback alone won't solve the competence problem Where AI can strengthen coaching Why timing matters as much as coaching frequency How AI can spot coaching opportunities a human might never see Why the future could be human coaching amplified by AI A great conversation about using AI for what it does best - while keeping humans firmly in the loop.

The bail hearing of suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya continues at the Randburg Magistrates' Court. Sibiya faces charges including rape and sexual grooming. His legal team says he is now facing an additional charge relating to the alleged storage of a firearm found when he was arrested. The defence argues the charge should have been included with the original charges. Sibiya has also received two disciplinary notices from SAPS. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC news reporter Heidi Giokos
End-times prophecy can be confusing, especially when popular teachings seem to conflict with Scripture and history. In this episode, Howard Hunt, author of “Warning Rapture: The Great Disappearance, An Eventual Problem in Timing,” shares insights from over four decades of intensive study on the rapture and the tribulation. He explains why he believes the widely accepted pre-tribulation rapture view is based more on assumptions, recent history, and financial interests than on clear biblical foundations. Drawing from passages like Daniel 9, Ezekiel 38–39, and 2 Thessalonians 2, he lays out a detailed sequence of prophetic events that challenges conventional thinking. Howard also uncovers the historical roots of rapture theory in the 1830s and how it spread through movements, teaching institutions, and study Bibles. His research raises tough questions about why so many believers expect to be removed from suffering when the apostles themselves endured great hardship. This conversation is designed to help listeners think critically about what they have been taught and return to a deeper, Scripture-first understanding of end-times doctrine. Howard walks through the idea that a coming war involving Israel, Russia, and surrounding nations could trigger a peace treaty that marks the start of the seven-year tribulation. He explains how this covenant, linked to the Antichrist, sets prophetic “time” in motion and why the midpoint when the Antichrist stands in the temple and declares himself to be God is so crucial. Listeners hear how Howard differentiates between the general tribulation and the “great tribulation,” connecting it to the true wrath of God described in Revelation. He also discusses why miscalculations about rapture dates have caused real-world damage, from people selling possessions in anticipation of escape to believers becoming disillusioned when predictions fail. Through personal stories from ranching life, time in Israel, and ministry experiences, he illustrates how easily people can follow spiritual trends like sheep led astray. Howard emphasizes that a misguided hope of avoiding hardship could leave many unprepared for deception, persecution, and apostasy. This episode challenges Christians to rethink comfort-driven beliefs and to anchor their expectations in careful, contextual biblical study. https://youtu.be/57ZVhwqT4YU?si=7DLaG93uYGUEkv66 At the heart of Howard's message is a call to spiritual readiness, genuine faith, and a living relationship with God rather than reliance on sensational timelines. He urges believers to “study to show yourself approved,” describing true worship not just as outward expression but as a lifelong pursuit of knowing God and His Word. The conversation highlights the urgency of preparing hearts, sharing the gospel, and strengthening the kingdom of God within, especially if current global tensions point toward a rapidly approaching prophetic season. Howard also shares how near-death experiences, personal loss, and hardship deepened his dependence on grace and convinced him that God can meet people anywhere, even at their lowest point. He reminds listeners that faith is activated through listening being quiet before God, using our “two ears and one mouth” to hear more than we speak. The episode closes with an encouragement to be ready, watchful, and compassionate toward others as prophetic events unfold. For those wrestling with questions about the rapture, tribulation, and what lies ahead, this discussion offers clarity, challenge, and a powerful invitation to seek truth beyond popular theories. Quotes: "It's the Bible that says to study to show yourself approved, a workman rightly dividing the word of truth. To worship God is to learn of Him." "End-times deception is basically monetary. The rapture teaching went into the Scofield Bible, it went to the universities, and it really brought in the money." "I just want to share information that may be beneficial to the brethren and to people who do not know the Lord, because there's a lot of pre-trib stuff going on all over, and it's deceptive."

#332. Did you like last week's episode? Good! Because we weren't done yet. And by “we” we mean “Kendall.” The rabbit trails include the urge to parent other people's kids and how technology is making the McDonald's breakfast hard-stop even more annoying. After the break, Kory shares his experience at The Sphere in Las Vegas and we share a bunch of what we're listening to as well as what we're watching. Lot's of current country music and some new stuff that kind of sounds like older stuff with a very confusing genre. This week we're watching The Bear, Heart of the Beast, Couple's Therapy, and the Big Ten replay booth.

When building gets easier, choosing what to build becomes even more important.Ciaran Cosgrave is CEO of Nearform, a global AI-native engineering company for the enterprise. Before moving into entrepreneurship and technology, he spent the first decade of his career running refugee camps across Africa and Central America. Those experiences shaped how he thinks about resilience, problem-solving, and building teams.In our conversation, we explore why Ciaran focuses on problems before technology, how AI software development is compressing months of prototyping into days and weeks, and why faster experimentation makes judgment even more important. We also get into the new challenge leaders face when teams can generate more ideas and prototypes than organizations can realistically absorb.Key TakeawaysStart with the problem, not the technology: Understanding the underlying problem and speaking with the people experiencing it creates a stronger foundation than chasing technology or quick financial returns.Knowing what to build remains difficult: AI can change how software gets built, but leaders still need judgment to determine which problems matter and what is worth creating.Faster prototypes can improve judgment: Moving from idea to prototype in days or weeks gives teams more opportunities to explore alternatives and test assumptions before committing to large investments.More experimentation requires better filtering: As testing ideas becomes faster and cheaper, leaders need mechanisms for deciding which prototypes deserve to move forward.Growth is becoming less dependent on headcount: AI is challenging the traditional services model where growing a business was closely tied to adding more people.Additional InsightsResilience can come from unexpected experiences: Ciaran credits his years working in refugee camps with teaching him perseverance and giving him perspective when facing rejection and uncertainty.Great teams still matter: Ciaran emphasizes finding good people, helping them work together, and building strong teams around difficult problems.Luck belongs in the entrepreneurship story: Timing, advice, unexpected opportunities, and good fortune can play an important role even when successful founders later describe a more deliberate strategy.Nearform was built around open source and small, senior teams: The company was built on a belief in open technology and in smaller groups of experienced people creating greater impact.The transformation experts are being disrupted too: After helping companies navigate mobile, cloud, and ecommerce, Nearform now finds its own services business directly affected by AI. Episode Highlights00:00 – Solve Problems Before Chasing MoneyCiaran explains why he has always been more interested in solving meaningful problems than pursuing technology or quick financial returns.02:32 – Guest Introduction: Ciaran CosgraveMeet Ciaran Cosgrave, CEO of Nearform, whose unconventional career began with a decade spent running refugee camps before moving into entrepreneurship and technology.03:52 – From Refugee Camps to TechnologyCiaran shares how he spent the first ten years of his career working in refugee camps before entering technology.05:46 – Giving His Early Career to OthersA teenage encounter with a technology entrepreneur inspired Ciaran to spend the early years of his career serving others and tackling difficult problems.08:18 – Becoming an Entrepreneur by AccidentAfter struggling to enter traditional corporate roles, Ciaran found an opportunity in financial services and started building technology businesses.11:45 – Focus on Problems, People, and a Little LuckCiaran explains why understanding the problem, finding great people, and acknowledging luck have shaped how he builds businesses.15:43 – What Drew Ciaran to NearformCiaran describes Nearform's origins and its early belief in open-source technology, small senior teams, and software as a force for good.21:03 – When the Transformation Experts Get DisruptedAfter years of helping companies navigate digital transformation, Nearform now finds its own industry being reshaped by AI.25:45 – Knowing What to Build Is Still HardCiaran argues that judgment about what to build remains one of the biggest challenges for organizations using AI.29:38 – From Months of Prototyping to Days and WeeksAI-assisted development allows teams to move from ideas to prototypes much faster and examine more alternatives before committing.33:20 – Making More Bets With Greater OptionalityBarry explores how cheaper experimentation allows teams to test multiple possibilities instead of placing one large bet.36:06 – When Innovation Becomes the BottleneckCiaran explains why organizations need stronger filtering mechanisms as teams generate and prototype more ideas.39:18 – Turning AI's Potential Into RealityCiaran shares his optimism about putting AI into production and using it to build new services and tackle difficult problems.

Thilo spricht mit dem Journalisten Steffen Haug über die zweite Staffel von „Inside CDU“ und die öffentliche Resonanz auf die Doku. Im Gespräch geht es darum, wie ein zurückgeschickter Strandkorb im Zusammenhang mit Philipp Amthor zum prägnanten Bild für die Debatte wurde – und wie Ausschnitte und Reaktionen in sozialen Medien die Wahrnehmung einer politischen Dokumentation prägen können. Haug ordnet die Kommunikationsstrategien der CDU im Umgang mit der AfD ein. Er spricht über die Ansätze, die AfD durch Regierungshandeln zurückzudrängen oder ihr inhaltlich zu begegnen, und darüber, warum er beide im Wahljahr als nicht erfolgreich bewertet. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist der Umgang der CDU mit sozialen Medien: Die Partei sei dort inzwischen stärker präsent, müsse aber laut Haug noch an Know-how, Timing und Authentizität arbeiten. Außerdem geht es um die unterschiedlichen politischen Bedingungen in Ost- und Westdeutschland, um innerparteiliche Debatten über mögliche Kooperationen und um jüngere CDU-Akteure. Zum Ende des Gesprächs spricht Haug über den Zugang zu Friedrich Merz während der Dreharbeiten, die Rolle von Hauptstadtjournalismus und sein Verständnis journalistischer Arbeit.

LIVE from ILADS: Tick Boot Camp reconnects with Nicole Bell, CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, for a focused conversation about one of the biggest challenges in Lyme disease and tick-borne illness: getting an accurate diagnosis. Bell breaks down the differences between antibody testing, antigen testing, and PCR-based direct detection while explaining why stealth pathogens such as Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can be so difficult to find. She also introduces Galaxy's BBB Direct Detect digital PCR testing, discusses emerging findings involving Babesia species, and explains why a negative antibody test doesn't always tell the entire story. For Bell, the mission is deeply personal. Her husband, Russ, initially tested negative for Lyme disease and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease before his family ultimately discovered tick-borne infections were part of his complex illness. That experience helped redirect Bell's engineering and medical technology background toward improving diagnostics for other patients searching for answers. This interview was recorded live at the ILADS conference, so you may hear some of the energy and background activity of the event throughout the conversation. Why Can Lyme Disease Testing Be So Difficult? Bell begins by explaining one of the fundamental problems with diagnosing Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections: many of the pathogens clinicians are searching for can be difficult to detect. Some occur at low levels in the bloodstream. Others may migrate into tissues or circulate intermittently. Historically, much of tick-borne disease testing has therefore relied on indirect detection — looking for the patient's immune response rather than directly detecting the organism. Antibody testing can provide useful information, but Bell explains why interpretation can become complicated. A patient's antibody response can vary depending on factors including: Timing of infection Individual immune response Immune suppression or dysregulation Previous exposure Previous treatment Medications that suppress immune activity Cross-reactivity Whether an infection is current or historical This is why Bell views antibody testing as one tool rather than the entire diagnostic toolbox. Antibody Testing: Detecting the Immune Response Antibody testing is an indirect testing method. Instead of looking for Borrelia itself, for example, the test looks for evidence that the patient's immune system has responded to it. Bell discusses IgM and IgG antibodies and why timing matters. IgM antibodies are generally associated with an earlier immune response, while IgG responses can take longer to develop. In Lyme disease, that delay creates a particular challenge because early diagnosis and treatment can be especially important. Some infected patients may mount a strong measurable antibody response, while others may produce a weaker or delayed response. Bell points to research showing how dramatically immune responses can differ even under controlled experimental conditions. This creates an important distinction: A test of the immune response is not necessarily the same thing as a test for the pathogen itself. When Antibodies Don't Tell the Whole Story Bell uses her husband's experience to illustrate the stakes. Russ had likely been ill for years before his most significant symptoms emerged. By then, Bell says his immune system was dysregulated and his overall antibody levels were low. His Lyme testing was negative, and his worsening cognitive symptoms ultimately led to an Alzheimer's diagnosis. There is also another side to antibody testing. A person may have antibodies because of a previous infection even when the original infection is no longer active. That can make it difficult to determine whether persistent symptoms are associated with an ongoing infection, an undiagnosed coinfection, immune dysregulation, or another process. Bell's point is not that antibody testing has no value. It is that complex tick-borne illness may require more than one diagnostic tool. Antigen Testing: Looking for Evidence of the Pathogen The conversation then moves from indirect testing to direct detection. One method is antigen testing. Rather than measuring the immune system's response, an antigen test searches for a component associated with the pathogen itself. Bell discusses Galaxy's work with a urine-based Lyme disease antigen approach designed to capture and concentrate a protein shed by Borrelia. Why urine? Bell explains that Lyme-causing Borrelia may not remain abundantly present in the bloodstream. A pathogen-derived protein, however, may be filtered through the kidneys and become detectable in urine. Galaxy continues to work on direct-detection approaches to Lyme disease testing as it pursues broader clinical adoption and regulatory pathways. PCR Testing: Searching for Pathogen DNA Another form of direct detection is PCR testing. PCR looks for genetic material from the pathogen rather than relying on the patient's antibody response. Galaxy uses PCR-based approaches for pathogens including: Borrelia Bartonella Babesia But direct detection presents its own challenge. These organisms may occur at extremely low levels in a sample. A patient can be infected while very little pathogen DNA happens to be circulating in the particular blood sample collected that day. That is where digital PCR, or dPCR, becomes especially interesting. The Three B's: Borrelia, Bartonella & Babesia Bell introduces Galaxy's approach to what Tick Boot Camp often calls the Three B's: Borrelia. Bartonella. Babesia. As patient and clinician awareness of tick-borne illness has evolved, these three pathogens have become increasingly important to the conversation around complex cases. Galaxy's BBB Direct Detect digital PCR testing is designed to directly detect DNA from Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia. Unlike an antibody test asking whether the immune system has responded to a pathogen, direct PCR testing asks a different question: Can we find genetic evidence of the organism itself? How Digital PCR Searches for Low-Abundance Pathogens Bell gives a simple analogy for understanding digital PCR. Imagine searching for a needle in a haystack. Traditional PCR is trying to identify a tiny amount of pathogen DNA — the needle — among an enormous amount of human genetic material — the haystack. Digital PCR effectively divides that haystack into thousands of much smaller piles and examines them individually. That partitioning can make it easier to detect extremely small amounts of genetic material. Galaxy also uses a culture-enrichment step for Bartonella. The blood sample is placed in an environment designed to encourage Bartonella growth before PCR analysis, increasing the amount of target material available for detection. Learn more about Galaxy Diagnostics' direct-detection technology and its approaches to Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia testing. Why Are We Seeing So Many Coinfections? Tick Boot Camp and Bell also discuss an observation that has become increasingly common in patient interviews: many people with complex chronic tick-borne illness aren't reporting only Lyme disease. Instead, patients frequently describe combinations involving the Three B's and other infections. Why? Bell says several factors may contribute. Diagnostic technology has improved. Clinicians have become more aware of coinfections. Ecological research indicates ticks can carry multiple pathogens. But Bell raises another important possibility: patients carrying multiple pathogens may also be among those who become the sickest and therefore are disproportionately represented within chronic illness communities. That distinction matters. Observing many coinfections among severely ill patients doesn't necessarily mean every tick-borne disease patient has the same microbial picture. Bartonella, the Immune System & the Tipping Point Bell discusses Bartonella as an example of the complexity surrounding infection and illness. Exposure may be more common than many people realize, and Bartonella has multiple potential vectors and reservoirs. Bell describes a hypothesis in which some people may harbor an infection while their immune system keeps it under control. Then another infection, environmental exposure, significant stressor, or other immune-disrupting event may alter that balance. A person who had previously remained relatively healthy may cross what Bell describes as a tipping point and begin experiencing significant illness. This raises questions researchers are still working to answer. Were multiple infections transmitted simultaneously? Did they occur through separate exposures? Was one infection already present before another destabilized the immune system? Bell emphasizes that the answer may differ from patient to patient. Emerging Questions About Babesia Some of the most intriguing discussion in this interview involves Babesia. Bell explains that research associated with the North Carolina State University team has identified Babesia species in complex patients beyond the organisms traditionally emphasized in U.S. human babesiosis. She specifically discusses findings involving Babesia odocoilei and Babesia divergens-like organisms and contrasts those findings with expectations surrounding Babesia microti and Babesia duncani. Bell also discusses the possibility of low-level parasitemia — infections involving pathogen levels that may be much lower than the classic severe presentation clinicians associate with babesiosis. These emerging observations raise important research questions about Babesia species, their prevalence, their role in human disease, and whether existing diagnostic assumptions capture the full picture. Bell is careful in the interview to distinguish between what Galaxy's current assay detects and what researchers may suspect based on sequencing and related scientific work. Nicole Bell's Personal Mission Bell's work in tick-borne disease diagnostics grew out of an experience no family wants to have. Her husband, Russ, developed neurological and psychiatric symptoms, including cognitive problems, anxiety and hallucinations. Despite Bell specifically requesting Lyme disease testing early in his illness, his initial test was negative and his diagnostic journey eventually led to an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Bell later documented her family's experience in her memoir, What Lurks in the Woods. Today, she brings her engineering background and personal experience together in an effort to improve the diagnostic tools available to clinicians and patients. From MIT & Duke to Galaxy Diagnostics Nicole Bell is CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and an engineer with extensive experience in medical devices and diagnostics. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT and a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. Before joining Galaxy, she worked in technology and medical-device development, including leadership roles involving diagnostic platforms and FDA submissions. Bell became CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics in 2024, bringing together her professional background in engineering and diagnostics with the lessons learned through her husband's illness. The State of Lyme Disease Research Bell is also the primary author of The State of Lyme Disease Research in the United States for the Center for Lyme Action. The paper examines gaps in Lyme disease research and outlines recommendations involving fundamental science, diagnostics, prevention, treatment, and research infrastructure. In this interview, Bell references one particularly important issue explored in that work: delays in Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment are associated with a greater risk of patients experiencing persistent symptoms. Better testing isn't simply about producing a more sophisticated laboratory report. It's about helping clinicians get patients appropriate answers earlier.

His point is about timing and substance. Roughly six weeks before the midterms, with Trump's approval mired in the low 30s and Republicans distancing themselves from him, a public hearing invites Smith to walk through, on national television, the classified-documents case at Mar-a-Lago and the four-count indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Hawk notes Smith has said he stands by those decisions and would bring the cases again.Hawk contrasts the hearing with what the Senate is not doing on affordability, gas prices, and the Iran war, and reminds viewers that the only reasons Trump avoided trial were his 2024 win and the Supreme Court's immunity ruling. He previews covering the hearing live on Tuesday.

In this fourth episode of the season, we look at timing. This is a six-part miniseries, and we'll be releasing a new episode here on Private Equity Spotlight every week. But if you'd rather not wait, you can listen to the whole series right now. Just click this link – if you already have a Private Equity International account, simply sign in, or register for free to access all six episodes. In a perfect world, a portfolio company would perform so brilliantly that the buyers would show up unprompted. But managers live in the real world, so they need to consider several “trigger points” that would support launching an exit process. Naturally, performance is key, but it's also performance that substantiates the sales story. The company may need time to develop that story so it can educate the market on what they've accomplished and why there's even more value to unlock, because no one is looking to pay top dollar for an enterprise whose best days are in the rearview mirror.

What do you do when you've prayed, waited, and still don't see God doing anything? In this episode, Derek, Matt, and Dave have an honest conversation about unanswered prayer, God's timing, surrender, and the frustrating reality that we often can't see what God is doing while we're living through it. Through personal stories of financial uncertainty, career changes, ministry, family, and spiritual growth, they look back and recognize moments where God's hand was working even when they couldn't see it.The conversation explores four ways God may answer prayer: yes, no, wait, and grow. Sometimes God gives us exactly what we ask for. Sometimes His answer protects us from something we can't see. Sometimes He asks us to wait, and sometimes He uses the waiting to change us before we're ready for what we're asking for. Through Biblical examples like Joseph, Solomon, Israel, and Isaiah 40:31, the hosts wrestle with what it means to trust God when His timing and methods don't match our expectations.Clarity in chaos.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Berman, just back in Israel from the United Nations General Assembly, discusses how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 15th address to the hall on Thursday was in some ways a classic Bibi presentation -- and in many ways not. We hear what was said and unsaid during the 40-minute speech. A flurry of reports has come out in the past several weeks surrounding what the prime minister was briefed on ahead of the October 7, 2023, onslaught by Hamas on southern Israel, including a statement from former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant this morning.

Navigating healthcare billing is about to undergo a massive structural shift. For speech-language pathologists, feeding therapists, and private practice owners, the sunsetting of long-standing core CPT codes requires proactive preparation, documentation adjustments, and clear system updates.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin unpacks the upcoming 2027 CPT code overhaul for speech and feeding therapy services. Most notably, standard CPT code 92507 will be replaced by five distinct, specialized codes covering fluency, speech sounds, language, combined speech and language, and voice upper airway dysfunction.Hallie breaks down how to report multiple services provided on the same day, navigate payer-specific policies, apply modifier 59 correctly, and utilize time-based add-on codes using midpoint timing rules. She also discusses the business and clinical importance of building internal feeding therapy expertise to optimize patient care and ensure long-term practice sustainability.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Replacement of CPT 92507: Preparing for 2027, where 92507 will split into five targeted codes for fluency, speech sound disorders, language, combined speech-language, and voice/upper airway dysfunction.Same-Day Multiple Service Reporting: Understanding how to accurately report distinct clinical services on the same date of service without triggering claim denials or unbundling errors.Applying Modifiers & Timing Rules: Utilizing modifier 59 effectively and calculating session midpoints for time-based add-on codes to secure appropriate reimbursement.Navigating Payer Reductions: Managing payment adjustments, commercial insurance policies, and Medicare guidelines when billing multiple codes per session.Building Internal Feeding Skills: Expanding internal clinical skill sets to keep pediatric feeding care in-house, reducing unnecessary external referrals while growing practice offerings.Soundbites"CPT code 92507 will be replaced by five distinct, specialized codes in 2027—preparing your documentation systems now is essential for practice compliance.""Timing rules and session midpoints dictate when add-on codes can be reported to support accurate, defensible reimbursement.""Understanding payer-specific policies and modifier applications allows you to protect your practice against underbilling or accidental unbundling."Timestamps00:00 — Introduction: Reporting Speech and Feeding Together00:26 — Welcome to The Untethered Podcast & Oral Rest Posture Reminder01:02 — Upcoming CPT Code Changes: Goodbye 92507, Hello 10 New Codes for 202702:21 — Code Bundling vs. Reporting Distinct Services on the Same Day03:06 — Current Billing Landscape: Speech (92507) and Swallowing/Feeding (92526)04:28 — 2027 Session Examples: Midpoint Timing Rules with Speech and Feeding07:06 — Comparing Combined Speech-Language Codes vs. Separate Treatment (Speech Sounds & Voice)11:56 — Expanding Pediatric Feeding Services in Your Practice & Team Mentorship14:27 — Free 3-Day Training Announcement: "Screen the Peds to Feed the Peds"15:43 — Episode Disclaimer, Review Call to Action, and OutroLinks & ResourcesFREE TRAINING: Screen The Peds to Feed The Peds Training.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYWhat Myofunctional and Feeding Therapists Need to Know About Scope, Coding, and Documentation (Ep 386).Screening vs. Assessment vs. Treatment: Why Every Clinician Needs to Know the Difference (Ep 380).STAY CONNECTED
In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a 2020 conversation with trainer Jason Wittrock, exploring how movement, recovery, and nutrition interact to support learning, adaptation, and performance. They discuss sustainable eating strategies—like focusing on food quality, experimenting to find what works for you, and using tracking as a short-term tool rather than a lifetime rule. The episode also highlights the power of example: staying consistent with healthy habits even when others resist, trusting the process, and choosing one manageable change to practice until it becomes part of your life. Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance so we can create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi, and if you've been following along through Season 16, you'll know that we have been building what I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework designed to help us understand how the different systems of the brain and body work together to influence how we learn, adapt, connect, lead, and ultimately perform. Today, we are completing Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition, where we have been following this central pathway: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery allows the brain and body to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the outcome we are working toward. Throughout this phase, we have explored how movement activates the brain, how exercise primes attention and learning, and how recovery determines our readiness to perform. We have also examined how sleep, cardiovascular fitness, strength, nutrition, and metabolic health influence the way the brain and body adapt over time. For this final episode of Phase 3, we are returning to a conversation that played an important role in my own health journey. Today, we revisit my interview with personal trainer and fitness model Jason Wittrock, who first appeared on this podcast in Episode 94[i] in November 2020. On this episode, we explore: ✔ Why food quality can matter more than rigidly chasing numbers ✔ How hunger and fullness provide useful information ✔ Why tracking should teach us—not control us ✔ How experimentation builds body awareness ✔ Why consistency matters more than short-term perfection ✔ How leading by example can influence others—even when we cannot see it yet I first discovered Jason in late 2016 or early 2017, when I was standing at a crossroads with my health. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I didn't yet know what those changes should look like. I had heard people talking about keto coffee and the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet, including increased energy, greater mental clarity, and weight loss. So, like many people searching for answers, I went to YouTube and typed in, “How do you make keto coffee?” One of Jason Wittrock's[ii] videos appeared. That video became the beginning of a much larger journey for me—one that changed the way I thought about nutrition, energy, exercise, and metabolic health. What made Jason stand out wasn't only the information he shared. It was the intention behind it. He would speak quickly and enthusiastically about what he was doing, what he was eating, and why—and then he would say something simple: “Hey, I'm just trying to help.” And I believed him. Jason also emphasized something that has remained with me ever since: it isn't enough to follow a diet or health plan for 30 or 45 days. If we want lasting results, the changes must become part of the way we live. That message stuck—all these years later. I began making keto coffee, experimenting with new foods, learning what macronutrients were, and discovering what worked best for me. I began paying much closer attention to how nutrition affected my energy, mental clarity, and physical performance. I still make the occasional keto coffee and have MCT Oil next to the blender, and Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter in the fridge. ‘ What started with one YouTube video became part of a much broader investigation into the habits that support brain health, my metabolic health, as well as longevity. And this is exactly why Jason's work belongs at the conclusion of Phase 3. Movement is a powerful signal—but the body does not adapt to movement in isolation. Adaptation is also shaped by how we fuel the body, regulate blood sugar, support metabolic flexibility, sleep, recover, and repeat our habits consistently over time. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, fasting, and recovery are not completely separate health strategies. They are interacting signals that tell the brain and body how to respond, rebuild, and perform. As we revisit this interview, you'll hear some of my questions from the earlier years of my health journey. Science continues to evolve, and so have many of my habits and perspectives. But the central lesson remains highly relevant: Lasting change rarely begins with having every answer. Sometimes, it begins with one trusted voice, one new idea, and the willingness to take the first step. Almost six years after recording this interview, I can say that I still trust Jason's guidance on nutrition. As I reviewed these clips, they almost brought tears to my eyes because I could see how accurately his words predicted what would unfold years later. It was almost as if he were saying, “Keep going. Trust the process.” And when I look at the lasting changes in my own life and family, I can now see what he meant. CLIP 1: ESCAPING THE CAGE OF CONSTANT TRACKING In Clip 1, (click to watch VIDEO clip) Jason challenges the idea that we need a perfect calorie target or precise macronutrient formula to improve our health. He explains that nutritional needs vary from one person to another—and even from one day to the next. This makes it difficult for an online calculator or outside expert to determine exactly what an individual body needs at every moment. From Jason's perspective, one potential benefit of a well-formulated ketogenic diet is that it may help some people experience steadier energy, fewer cravings, and greater awareness of their natural hunger and fullness cues. Instead of constantly counting calories or tracking every gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrate, he encourages people to begin with the quality of the foods they eat and then observe how their bodies respond. Jason uses the image of a lion in the wild compared with a lion in a cage. The lion in the wild responds naturally to hunger and fullness. The lion in the cage represents someone constrained by spreadsheets, calorie targets, and rigid food rules. His central message is that nutrition should be sustainable enough to support your life—not so complicated that tracking the plan becomes your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 1 There is no single perfect formula for everyone. Calorie and macronutrient recommendations are estimates. Individual needs vary according to activity, sleep, stress, health, body composition, personal goals, and many other factors. When I first watched one of Jason's “What I Eat in a Day” videos, it gave me a starting point. At that time, I didn't really know what to prepare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I ate healthy foods, rarely ate sugar, but knew I could improve with what I was using as energy. Jason's meals gave me a basic framework. From there, I adjusted the foods and portions to make his approach work for me. If you want to see a more recent video of what he eats in a day, you can visit his Instagram[iii] page. Food quality matters. Jason recommends beginning with nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods rather than focusing exclusively on calories or macronutrient percentages. This was a huge paradigm shift for me. At the time, I could tell you the calorie count of almost any food. But after listening to Jason, I stopped thinking only about calories in and calories burned. Instead, I began noticing which foods left me feeling satisfied, energized, and full. Hunger and fullness provide useful information. Learning to recognize physical hunger, satisfaction after eating, cravings, changes in energy, and fullness can help us understand how different foods affect us. This was another eye-opener for me. I began experimenting with intermittent fasting and eating within a defined window. This practice helped me learn what hunger actually felt like without immediately becoming afraid of it. With time, my body became more accustomed to recognizing hunger cues and waiting until it was time to eat. This became useful when I was traveling. If I couldn't find a restaurant or food choice that worked for me, I learned that I could wait rather than eat something simply because I was uncomfortable with feeling hungry. I also learned that drinking water could sometimes help that hunger feeling to feeling pass. Tracking can be helpful—but it is only a tool. Tracking may help someone understand portions, macronutrients, (how much protein, carbs or fats are in a certain food) or eating patterns. But when tracking becomes rigid, stressful, or obsessive, it can make a healthy lifestyle more difficult to sustain. I used an app to track my carbohydrates, proteins, and fats during the first few months. Once I understood what worked for me and found meals I could repeat, I no longer needed the tracker. The tracking served its purpose: it taught me something. But it didn't need to control me indefinitely. Experimentation builds self-awareness. Instead of blindly following someone else's formula, Jason encourages us to test different foods and routines while paying attention to our energy, appetite, mood, sleep, and performance. I liked Jason's food choices, so I used many of his meals as a starting point and adjusted the portions for my own body and needs. Sustainability (the long-term vision) matters more than short-term perfection. The most effective nutritional approach is one that supports your health while remaining realistic enough to continue over time. I had always believed that I ate healthy foods, but I didn't fully understand how to build meals that worked for me until I began following Jason's work. His guidance helped me move from generally trying to “eat healthy” to understanding how specific choices affected my energy, focus, and performance. Now I know what breakfast foods work best for me when I have a long day, without access to food, and what refuels me after a long hike, as well as what helps me to wind down before sleep. The goal is greater freedom—not another cage. Jason's lion metaphor reminds us that a nutrition plan should help us reconnect with our bodies rather than make us feel controlled by numbers, rules, and spreadsheets. Once we learn what works for us, it becomes easier to stay on track without constantly measuring everything. I still eat many of the same foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My youngest daughter has now discovered the meals that work best for her and has become an excellent cook who prepares her own food every week. There is still one person in our house who insists he will never change the way he eats. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he might try the carrots and celery I have ready to go--someday. HOW CAN WE PUT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 1 INTO PRACTICE? First, begin by improving the quality of one meal each day. Build it around minimally processed foods that include some protein, healthy fat, fiber, and vegetables that are appropriate for your chosen nutritional approach. Like me, once you connect with someone you trust, you can learn from them. Second, pause before eating and ask yourself: Am I physically hungry, or am I responding to stress, habit, boredom, or simply the availability of food? This concept is still important for me. I sometimes reach for a snack when I'm stressed or rushing. In those moments, I can pause and consider whether a glass of water—or a few quiet minutes—would meet the real need more effectively. Third, slow down while eating. Give your brain and body enough time to recognize satisfaction. Halfway through the meal, pause and notice whether you are still hungry, comfortably satisfied, or already full. Bob Proctor, who has appeared often throughout this podcast, used to say often: “Do you taste your food?” Are you eating slowly and mindfully enough to notice how your food actually tastes? I noticed something interesting recently while eating at a steak restaurant. I had removed alcohol from my diet at the beginning of August after realizing that I didn't really enjoy it. After the first month, I began noticing that I could taste food differently. At this restaurant, I experienced the flavor of shrimp cocktail in an entirely new way. That is a story for another episode, but it reminded me that when we slow down and pay attention, we may notice something we have missed before. Fourth, observe how different meals affect you. Notice your energy, cravings, mood, focus, digestion, exercise performance, and hunger during the hours that follow. Fifth, experiment with one change at a time. If you change everything at the same time, it becomes hard to identify which food or habit produced the result. Sixth, use numbers selectively. Tracking your food for a short period can provide useful information, but it does not need to become a permanent requirement. Let the data teach you rather than control you. Seventh, remember that ketosis (or intermittent fasting) is not the only path to understanding your appetite or metabolic health. Some people feel better following a ketogenic approach, while others do well with a balanced diet that includes high-quality carbohydrates. The important question is whether the approach is safe, nourishing, sustainable, and effective for you. Finally, if you take medication or have diabetes or concerns involving your kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, cardiovascular health, or eating behaviors, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before beginning a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, or another significant dietary change. The goal is not to copy someone else's perfect formula. The goal is to gather information, listen carefully to your body, and gradually uncover the nutritional approach that helps you feel and perform at your best. CLIP 2: PUSHING THROUGH THE BACKLASH In Clip 2, (click the link to watch the video clip) Jason and I discuss one of the most difficult parts of creating a healthy lifestyle: continuing to make intentional choices when the people around us do not understand or support what we are doing. I described the challenge of teaching my daughters healthy eating habits while they watched their friends eat fast food and sugary foods. As a parent, it can feel as though you are the “bad guy” when you establish boundaries or offer healthier choices that your children do not yet appreciate. Jason explained that these lessons might not make sense to them when they are young, because eating well did not feel necessary to them at that stage of their lives. They really want to fit in. But that did not mean they weren't paying attention. His message was to keep leading by example. The people around us may resist our choices, criticize us, or even think we are being extreme—but they are still watching. When improving their own health eventually becomes important or necessary, they may remember the habits, choices, and lessons they witnessed. The main idea is simple but powerful: Push through the immediate backlash, because the example you set today may become someone else's roadmap tomorrow. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 2 People may resist what they do not yet need—or what they did not choose. Health advice can seem unnecessary to someone who has not experienced a problem, consequence, or don't have a personal desire to change. We each need to arrive at the point where we want the change for ourselves. Resistance does not mean your example is being ignored. People may question your choices while quietly observing your consistency, discipline, and results. When Jason predicted that I would notice the effects of my healthy eating choices years later, I had no idea how accurate he would be. Years after this interview, my youngest daughter now meal-preps. She is a wonderful cook, and I can learn from the foods she prepares each week. My oldest daughter (also meal preps) and thanked me for not making junk food and fast food a normal part of their childhood. They definitely ate some of these foods when they grew older, but they were grateful that those foods had not formed the foundation of what they ate when they were young. I'll never forget when she said “Hey Mom, thanks for making us eat healthy when we were little.” I remember being shocked—and grateful—that I had stayed true to what I believed was right. At the time, I sometimes wondered whether I was depriving them of experiences their friends enjoyed. People thought I was from a different planet when I told them I had never bought fast food for the kids. Years later, I could see that my example had made an impact, even when there was little evidence of it in the moment in those early years. Timing matters. We cannot force another person to change before they are ready. But we can make sure that helpful information and a positive example are available when their moment arrives. Leading by example can be more powerful than lecturing. Consistently demonstrating healthy habits gives other people a practical model they can use later. Children absorb more than they appear to. Even when children complain about boundaries we give them, or reject healthy choices, they are still learning what their family values and what healthy behavior looks like. Backlash is not necessarily evidence that you are doing something wrong. Making a change can disrupt established family or social patterns. Resistance may simply reflect that the new behavior is unfamiliar or that it challenges what others are accustomed to doing. Consistency creates a future roadmap. When health becomes personally meaningful to the people watching us, they may remember the lessons they once resisted and finally know where to begin. HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 2? First, connect your choices to a clear personal reason. When you understand why you are exercising, eating differently, or protecting your health, other people's opinions are less likely to pull you off course. For me, these habits help me think more clearly and feel better. They also allow me to take greater ownership of my energy and performance. Second, expect some resistance. When you change a familiar pattern, the people around you may feel confused, defensive, or inconvenienced. Prepare for that response without automatically interpreting it as failure. Third, be yourself instead of constantly trying to persuade other people. Continue preparing healthy meals, exercising, recovering, and making intentional choices. Allow others to observe your consistency, energy, and results. Fourth, share with others your results, but don't expect them to join you. You can explain why a choice matters to you while giving other people the time and space to make their own decisions. Fifth, avoid turning food into a battle—especially with children. Provide healthy options, explain their purpose (food as fuel) and allow some flexibility. This took me some time. When our girls were teenagers, I eventually took them through a fast food window, but made them place their own order. Sixth, focus on what you can control. You cannot control whether someone follows your example. You can control the example you provide. Seventh, recognize small signs of influence. Someone asking a question, trying one healthy food, joining you for a walk, or remembering something you said may be enough evidence that the lesson has made an impact on them. Eating was one area where I eventually saw that I had influenced my immediate family—but it took years for that influence to become visible. Exercise was another. I have always been a regular hiker, and I took my daughters onto the trails almost as soon as they were old enough to go outside with me. For years, we hiked Camelback Mountain together during their spring break. Then one day, they came to me and said, “We aren't going hiking anymore.” When I asked why, they told me that there was almost nothing they hated more than hiking. I wasn't upset about their choice to boycott the trails. I could hike or run on my own, which I often preferred. But I wondered why they didn't enjoy the mountains or being outside. Years later, my oldest daughter began hiking with her friends and asked whether she could buy a pair of hiking shoes. I wanted to ask, “Why? I thought you hated hiking.” But I realized that all those years on the trails had not been wasted. She had been taking in the experience. She simply wanted to experience the trails with her friends as a teenager—and that made complete sense. This brings us back to Jason's central message: The people around you are taking notes. They may not use those notes today. But when change becomes relevant or necessary, your example may help them know where to begin. Push through the backlash—not by arguing with others, but by staying steady enough for your actions to speak loud and clear for you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude Episode 407, Jason Wittrock's message gives us two important lessons. The first is about learning to listen to our own bodies. Jason encourages us to move away from the belief that one perfect formula, calorie target, or macronutrient ratio will work for everyone. Tracking can teach us valuable information, especially in the beginning. But the goal is not to remain trapped inside a spreadsheet. The goal is to use what we learn to recognize the foods and habits that help us feel nourished, satisfied, energized, and capable of performing at our best. Begin with food quality. Notice your hunger and fullness cues. Observe your energy, focus, mood, digestion, and physical performance. Experiment carefully. Let the data inform you without allowing it to control you. Jason's second lesson is about the influence of our example. When we change our habits, not everyone around us will understand. Some people may question our choices. Others may resist them. Our children, partners, friends, or colleagues may not see the value in what we are doing because the need for change has not yet become personal to them. But they are still taking notes. This may be the most meaningful part of revisiting this interview almost six years later. At the time, I could not see whether the choices I was making were influencing my family. I could only continue doing what I believed was right. Years later, the evidence appeared. My daughters remembered. They began making some of those choices for themselves—not because I forced them to, but because the example was available when they were ready to use it. This brings us back to the central pathway of Phase 3: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery creates the capacity to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the result. But this episode reminds us that movement is only one of the signals shaping adaptation. Nutrition matters. Sleep matters. Recovery matters. Consistency matters. And the environments and examples surrounding us matter. In a HUGE way! The brain and body adapt to what we repeatedly do—not merely to what we intend to do occasionally. If there is one action I hope you take from this episode, it is to choose one habit you can practice consistently enough for it to become part of who you are. It might be improving one meal. It might be slowing down and tasting your food. It might be paying attention to genuine hunger and fullness. It might be drinking water instead of automatically reaching for a snack. It might be walking, strength training, sleeping longer, or giving your body the recovery it needs to adapt. Choose one action. Observe how your body responds. Adjust what does not work. And repeat what does. This is how we move from information to implementation—and from implementation to adaptation. I'll also connect this episode to a couple others that were important at the time I interviewed Jason. EP 51[iv] was with Kelly Schmidt, my own athletic trainer who taught me how to meal prep. EP 90[v] was focused on health and wellness with Luke DePron, who was the fitness trainer who taught me to always have celery and carrots in the fridge. EP 160[vi] was with Chrissy Barth, a Functional Sports Registered Dietician who offered some great advice for fueling athletes. Many of the interviews in 2020 were focused on health and wellness and are great places to review. Health and wellness does go through different phases, but many of them remain constant. Exercise and eating healthy never goes out of style. As we bring today's conversation to a close, we are not quite finished with Phase 3. Before we move forward, we have one final step: integration. Our next Episode 408, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity, we will bring together the major ideas we have explored throughout Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition. We'll examine how movement prepares the brain to learn, how attention opens the gate to encoding, how recovery allows adaptation to occur, and how our daily habits influence our long-term capacity to learn, perform, and remain healthy. Episode 408 will help us connect these individual pieces into one complete pathway: Movement creates readiness. Readiness supports attention. Attention opens the gate to learning. Recovery enables adaptation. And adaptation builds the capacity for sustained performance. With that final integration, we will bring Phase 3 to a close—and prepare to take the next step in our journey. Because human performance does not happen in isolation. Once we have strengthened our individual capacity—our ability to move, focus, learn, recover, and adapt—we must ask what happens when that brain and body encounter another person. How do we perceive someone else? How does that perception create an affective response within the body? How do those internal signals become emotions? And how do those emotions influence trust, communication, connection, belonging, leadership, and performance? That is where we are going in Phase 4: Perception, Emotion, and Social Intelligence. We will follow a new pathway: Perception leads to affect. Affect contributes to emotion. Emotion influences mindsight. Mindsight shapes relationships. And relationships create—or disrupt—the belonging and psychological safety required for people to learn, lead, and perform at their best. Phase 3 has helped us understand how to build the capacity of the individual brain and body. Phase 4 will ask what happens when that brain and body enter a relationship with another human being. Because we do not simply respond to the world as it is. We respond to the world as we perceive it. And that perception shapes nearly everything that follows. Thank you for continuing this journey with me. I'll see you next time for our final Phase 3 integration episode, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity—before we begin Phase 4 and explore how perception shapes our emotions, our relationships, and the impact we create in the world.

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Sean Westropp, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Deep Sail Capital, to dig into his four pillars framework for finding exceptional growth companies - and why running both sides of the book makes him a sharper long investor. We break down how he balances quality, management, growth prospects, and valuation across a portfolio split between emerging and established growth names, why outstanding management is the one pillar he refuses to compromise on, and what the 2022 drawdown permanently changed about how he manages a portfolio.

Have you ever tried an herb and thought, "This just doesn't work"? The problem may not be the herb itself. It may be the timing, the dose, the preparation, or whether that herb actually matches what your body needs in that moment. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest mistakes people make when using herbs for medicine: treating every stage of an illness the same way. We'll look at why the herbs I reach for at the very first sign of a cold may be different from what I use once symptoms are full-blown, why preparation methods matter, and how to think about supporting your immune and lymphatic systems as symptoms change. I'm also sharing how I use echinacea at the first signs of illness, why I prefer to have remedies prepared before cold and flu season arrives, and the First Signs Tincture that has become one of the most-used remedies in our family's home medicine cabinet. If you want to feel more confident choosing the right herb, at the right time, in the right form, this episode will help you understand what to look for before automatically reaching for the same remedy every time.

What do you do when you know God has favor on your life—but your circumstances don't feel very favored?Maybe the dream feels delayed. Maybe the door hasn't opened. Maybe you've been faithful, consistent, and obedient, but nothing seems to be moving.In this solo episode of The You Are More Podcast, Amy Wienands uses the story of Joseph to remind you that favor doesn't always look like favor while you're walking through the process.Joseph had a dream and a calling on his life, yet his path included betrayal, a pit, slavery, false accusation, prison, and years of waiting.And still, God was with him.Amy talks about what happens when the thing you believe God promised feels delayed—and how seasons of waiting can test your consistency, obedience, faith, and willingness to keep showing up.Sometimes the delay isn't evidence that you've missed it.Sometimes it's simply a matter of timing.Amy shares the picture of sitting on an airplane that was completely prepared for takeoff. The plane was fueled. The passengers were seated. Every check was complete.But it still couldn't take off until the airspace was clear.Sometimes your life looks exactly like that.You're prepared. You're doing the work. You're ready.But the timing hasn't aligned yet.Don't let discouragement convince you to quit while you're sitting on the runway.In this episode, Amy also talks about:Why testing can accompany your callingHow to encourage yourself when nothing seems to be movingRemembering the track record you have with GodWhy God's process doesn't always look like the world's version of successPraying for “destiny helpers”Trusting that your steps are orderedWhy the favor you carry should make a difference wherever you goHow God can use even painful seasons for something bigger than youJoseph eventually went from the pit to the palace, but the process between the dream and its fulfillment mattered.And yours does too.Maybe you've been wondering whether you're too late.Maybe you've thought, If it were going to happen for me, it would have happened already.Amy's encouragement is simple:You haven't missed your moment.You may be being prepared.You may be being positioned.You may simply be waiting for the right timing.And favor doesn't mean you'll never walk through a storm. Sometimes favor means God is covering you right in the middle of it.As long as you have breath in your body, you still have purpose to serve.Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep preparing. Keep reminding yourself of God's faithfulness.You are favored—even when it doesn't feel like it.

What if the reason you keep delaying that opportunity isn't because you're not ready—but because you're waiting to feel completely confident?In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a season where I've said yes to several unexpected opportunities, including launching an app for solo agents, stepping into an AI startup, and saying yes to a real estate partnership in my hometown. And honestly? The timing is far from perfect.I'm sharing how I'm deciding what deserves a yes, what I've learned from seasons when I had to say no, and why waiting for certainty can sometimes cost you more than moving forward before you have every answer.Things I Cover:How to recognize whether an opportunity actually fits your bigger visionThe questions I ask before saying yesHow to make room for new opportunities without overloading your capacityWhy the people you build with matterWhat you can test before you try to perfect itHow AI can help you move faster and learn through real-world feedbackWhy confidence often comes after you take actionHow to know whether your delay has a purpose—or is simply fearIf there's an opportunity you've been putting off, this episode might help you look at it differently.Take the next step: DM me on Instagram at @itsRaquelQ and tell me what you're thinking about saying yes to—and what's holding you back.Ready to build bigger?
