Most people aren't struggling with food, their weight, or habits because they lack willpower or nutrition knowledge.  They're struggling because years of dieting, weight stigma, body shame, and chronic stress have created a nervous system that no longer feels safe around food. True healing requires more than changing what you eat — it requires changing your relationship with food, your body, and how you talk to yourself.  Today's episode addresses the connection between GLP-1 use and eating disorders, why it's happening to some but not all, and how GLP-1's might actually help you HEAL parts of your diet trauma.  Keep listening to learn more.  And when you're ready to explore a customized approach to not just losing weight, but keeping it off long term, I'd love to explore if my 4-part process is right for you.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  Is your metabolism traumatized?  If you've experienced emotional, verbal, or spiritual abuse, the answer is likely 'yes.' This is a critical piece when it comes to weight loss, especially when you're 40+, because abuse triggers a cascade of repercussions in the body.  Learn more with my all new, free workshop: Your Metabolism Isn't Broken — It's Traumatized.  Get all the details here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - GLP1s and Anorexia(00:07:45) - Weight Loss on a GLP1 peptide(00:15:26) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

If you feel like your metabolism suddenly stopped responding in your 40's, this episode is for you. Because despite what you've been told, your body isn't “just aging,” and the answer is NOT more restriction, more cardio, or more self-control. In this episode, we're talking about the deeper reasons so many women struggle with weight gain, inflammation, cravings, exhaustion, and insulin resistance during peri/menopause.  And why the real issue often has far more to do with stress, nervous system dysregulation, chronic dieting, and emotional patterns, than calories, burpees, or running. We'll unpack: Why your metabolism may feel “broken.” How trauma and chronic stress impact the body physiologically. Why weight gain is a symptom—not the root problem. The connection between inflammation, hormones, insulin resistance & emotional eating. And a more supportive approach to metabolic healing.  If you're tired of fighting your body and ready to understand what's actually happening beneath the surface, this conversation will change how you see everything.  ️ I'm also hosting a live workshop called:“Your Metabolism Isn't Broken—It's Traumatized” You can register here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - Does Your Metabolism Break?(00:02:36) - How to Heal Your Metabolic Dysfunction in Your 40s(00:07:12) - How to Heal a Trauma- Affected Body(00:12:36) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

She thought her communication was fine. It was the one thing quietly dismantling everything she was trying to build. Genea Barnes was likable. People loved being around her. She was warm and easy to be around. And for years, she told herself that meant she was a good communicator. But her art career never took off. Her business kept shapeshifting to match everyone else's opinions. The man she was falling in love with remained a near-stranger after months of being together. And she didn't understand why. The answer wasn't a skill gap. It wasn't confidence. It was something older and quieter than either of those things. Somewhere along the way, she had learned that saying what she truly thought, asking what she actually wanted to know, and letting people see the real thing inside her came with real consequences. So she adapted. She filled the silence with the “right” words while keeping the true ones locked away. And that one learned pattern cost her more than she knew. This episode goes inside that pattern and what finally changed. Here's what's waiting in this conversation:

Why does your child's behavior feel so hard… even when you're trying to do everything right?In adoption, behavior isn't just behavior.It's layered with loss, attachment, and experiences that often go unseen.And in the moments that feel the most overwhelming—when your child is melting down, shutting down, or pushing you away—it's easy to wonder:Am I handling this wrong?In this episode, we're breaking down what's really happening beneath those moments—and how to respond in a way that actually builds trust and connection over time.I'm joined by Jeanette Yoffe, adoptee, therapist, and founder of the Celia Center, who brings both lived experience and over 20 years of clinical work supporting adoptive families.This conversation goes beyond surface-level parenting advice.We talk about why behavior can feel so intense in adoptive families, how early experiences shape the way children relate to their parents, and what it really looks like to stay grounded when emotions run high.If you've ever felt triggered, unsure, or like you're not getting it “right,” this episode will meet you there—and give you a different way to move forward.In this episode, we talk about:Why behavior in adopted children can feel more intense and personalWhat's actually happening beneath meltdowns, shutdowns, and pushing awayThe difference between reacting vs. responding in high-stress momentsWhat “co-regulation” really looks like in real lifeHow trauma and early separation impact attachment and trustWhy children often internalize blame—and how that shows up in behaviorRecognizing when your child is emotionally younger than their ageThe 5 A's framework and how to use it in everyday momentsHow to manage your own triggers so you can show up more consistentlyWhat helps build safety, connection, and long-term trustAbout Jeanette:Jeanette Yoffe is a licensed psychotherapist, adoptee, and founder of the Celia Center, a nonprofit supporting individuals and families impacted by adoption and foster care.

In this episode, I talk with Scot McKnight and Adrienne Gibson about their new book Traumatized Church, and what it looks like to read Paul, and our congregations, through a trauma-informed lens. We explore what trauma actually is, how it lives in the body, and why so many people are being quietly re-traumatized in the very communities meant to heal them. The conversation moves between Paul's raw letter in 2 Corinthians and the practical work of building churches that are safe, full of mutuality, and honest about the pain in the room.Scot McKnight (PhD, Nottingham) has been a Professor of New Testament for more than four decades. He is the author of more than ninety books, including the award-winning The Jesus Creed as well as The King Jesus Gospel, A Fellowship of Differents, One.Life, The Blue Parakeet, Revelation for the Rest of Us, and Kingdom Conspiracy.Adrienne Gibson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC), clinical supervisor for the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE), and the owner of Valor Counseling.

Another week, another international conflict that gets closer to its apex. Bryan and Mario decide why let that and some initial copyright issues uploading this episode stop them from bringing this to the masses? The guys are suggested to look into a very intriguing conspiracy theory regarding the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster: did Big Bird cause that to happen? Was the iconic Sesame Street character supposed to be on that ill-fated launch? It's a topic tailor-made for this podcast, so we obviously had to check it out.Plus, Bryan leans Argentina for wanting their new World Cup jersey, a deep dive into Need for Speed Nintendo DS game ratings, and is Mario speaking facts about purchasing sports jerseys straight from China and not worrying about the long shipping wait?This episode is another one closer to 200. Still just as random, confusing, and wild as one may expect. Welcome in.

The Worst Bigfoot EncounterA lifelong hunter with over 45 years of experience—successful with everything from coyotes and deer to bear and turkey—announces he is selling all his firearms, gear, and donating his camo after a nightmarish solo turkey hunt in late April near Cave Run Lake, Kentucky. Traumatized beyond words, he has been unable to confide in family, friends, or doctors for fear of being institutionalized, and now reaches out anonymously with his story. While set up motionless against a massive black oak on a ridge, calling in a hot gobbler, he is suddenly seized from behind by a huge, dark-brown, hairy Bigfoot-like creature. Its thick, callused gray-skinned, gorilla-like hands clamp over his mouth/neck and around his waist, pinning him helplessly to the tree and neutralizing his shotgun. He watches in frozen terror as two sleek black, dog-headed “werewolf” or Dogman creatures—complete with erect ears and three-inch fangs—ambush and devour a doe in the clearing just yards away, ripping through meat and bone in minutes with clicking sounds and howls. When the pair turns toward his hiding spot, the creature holding him unleashes a deafening roar that summons a group of 4–5 more Bigfoot-type beings. They explode from the woods in pursuit, chasing the predators away. The Bigfoot then snatches his gun, hurls it into the brush, blocks his attempt to retrieve it, and finally releases him. The hunter sprints ten frantic minutes back to his truck (a trek that normally takes 45), abandons the shotgun on the ridge forever, and speeds away in panic. In the weeks since, he suffers crushing PTSD: insomnia, uncontrollable crying jags at work, paralyzing fear of any woods or even his own yard. He now drives extra miles on highways to avoid wooded county roads, refuses to sit on the porch with his wife, hires a neighbor kid to mow the lawn, and has called off or been sent home from work multiple times. He believes the Bigfoot creatures deliberately protected him from being eaten, but the experience has destroyed his lifelong love of the outdoors. He asks: What should he do? Is there help or therapy for people who have had these kinds of encounters? Will he ever recover and enjoy the woods again?Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

While most Israelis fly to India to travel, two reservists are flying there to bring broken souls home. This morning I share part of an interview Daniel Gordis recently did with Tamar Friedman and Hezi Shohat, both IDF reservists, and social workers focusing on trauma. They saw the need to travel to India, which now receives more than 100,000 Israeli visitors a year, and provide immediate mental health first aid for those suffering there from trauma crisis. The numbers they help are in the thousands. And their motivation is to bring these people back to Israel, to recover, and to rejoin the greatest generation who will rebuild Israel.

Narcissism has become one of the most misused words in mental health — and social media hasn't helped. In this episode, host Gabe Howard is joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Kati Morton to separate clinical reality from internet myth. Together, they break down what narcissistic personality disorder actually is, why confidence and disagreement don't equal narcissism, and how terms like “gaslighting” and “love bombing” get distorted online.We answer common questions like: Can people with narcissistic personality disorder learn empathy? How can loved ones' support change without sacrificing their safety or boundaries? If narcissism is a mental illness, why do we have trouble feeling compassion for people who have it? Finally, Gabe and Kati discuss whether people with narcissistic personality disorder can change, what meaningful treatment actually looks like, and how loved ones can protect themselves while setting healthy boundaries. “If social media were accurate, narcissism would describe anyone who annoys us. But clinically? It's something very different.” ~Kati Morton, author of “Why Do I Keep Doing This? Unlearn the Habits That Keep You Stuck and Unhappy” Our guest, Kati Morton, is widely recognized as a leading mental health advocate and educator. She holds a masters in clinical psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She has a passion for education and empowerment and shares helpful insights through her YouTube channel. Kati is the author of three books “Are You Ok?,” “Traumatized,” and “Why Do I Keep Doing This? Unlearn the Habits Keeping You Stuck and Unhappy.” She hopes that by speaking candidly about mental health and encouraging viewers to reach out to get the support they need, we can remove the stigma associated with getting help. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

“Things are happening [in Minnesota]  that my friends and family elsewhere are really having trouble understanding,” Laura Kelly Fanucci says,  “because the media is saying one thing, and all these partisan politicians are saying another thing.” “But sometimes I think what Jesus [is saying in the gospel], is that when you are close to the center, sometimes you will know things about the mystery of God that are going to be difficult for other people to understand.” Award-winning author, Laura Kelly Fanucci, joins host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., to share what she has been preaching on her Instagram account @thismessygrace since U.S. federal immigration agents fatal shooting of  Renee Good, and later, Alex Pretti. After attending Mass the Sunday following the killing of Renée Good and hearing no mention of it from the pulpit at her parish, Laura began offering three-minute homilies on Instagram. In this conversation with Ricardo da Silva, S.J., Laura offers practical advice for preaching in this historical moment marked by violence, terror and community upheaval. In her daily Scripture reflections on Instagram Laura models how to thread the needle of preaching the gospel and responding to surrounding events, without slipping into partisan rhetoric. https://www.americamagazine.org/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.

The release of the Epstein files triggered immediate outrage from survivors after the U.S. Department of Justice disclosed identifying details that should never have seen daylight. For many victims, the files were not a moment of transparency but a fresh violation—names, contextual clues, and personal information surfaced in a way that made them identifiable to the public. Survivors and their advocates accused the DOJ of recklessness, arguing that the government had been warned repeatedly about the risks and still chose speed and optics over basic victim protection. The result was renewed trauma for people who had already endured years of abuse, silencing, and institutional neglect.That outcry quickly hardened into a broader indictment of how the Epstein case has been handled from start to finish. Survivors said the exposure confirmed their worst fears: that the system remains more focused on document dumps and procedural box-checking than on the human beings harmed by Jeffrey Epstein. Advocates stressed that anonymity is not a courtesy but a safeguard, especially in a case involving global attention and powerful interests. By failing to protect it, the DOJ not only endangered survivors' privacy and safety but also deepened the mistrust that has long defined this case—turning what was billed as accountability into yet another chapter of institutional failure.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Thousands of Epstein files taken down after some survivors' names and nude photos found | CBC News

After decades in conventional practice, Dr. Shanks reinvented how she practices to serve people with chronic, complex illness who were failed by the standard medical system. In this episode, they explore why so many are "walking wounded", how trauma (including trauma from the medical system itself) underlies much chronic illness, and why illness is often the body's intelligent healing response rather than a "broken" malfunction. They dive into COVID as a pandemic of human vulnerability, systemic gaslighting, polarization, and how cultural narratives and dogmatic biomedicine disconnect us from our bodies' wisdom. Highlights: "Illness is beautiful… it's a healing cycle." –   "The only sustainable model of healthcare is one that works itself out of a job."    "The bedrock of human illness and chronic disease is that we live according to these narratives where we don't even trust our bodies anymore."    "Simple, small, and slow, that's my mantra."   Timestamps: 00:02 – Introducing Dr. Karyn Shanks and her 35-year journey 01:37 – From internist to holistic, integrative, and functional medicine 03:40 – "Unbroken" and why your body isn't wrong when it's sick 05:23 – The only sustainable healthcare model: working yourself out of a job 08:22 – COVID as a pandemic of vulnerability, not just a virus 15:41 – The biggest problem today: dogma, righteousness, and reductionism 20:46 – Dr. Shanks' core mission: returning patients to safety and self-trust 30:55 – How she practically creates safety for chronically ill patients 42:32 – Case study: healing begins in a sewing room, not a prescription pad 54:59 – One daily practice: a few moments to listen to what you need   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Dr. Karyn Shanks KARYN SHANKS MD is a physician, author, and teacher who helps clients recover their lives from chronic complex Illness—a journey she's walked herself.

It was November 22, 1963, when the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Traumatized by the event, many people never questioned the incident. Since then we have been analyzing the shooting, questioning the official story and blaming the CIA for orchestrating the assassination. But is there enough evidence?Who had motive? Who may have been involved? Was the arrested shooter the lone gunman? These questions have been surfacing ever since, leading the CIA to coin the term "conspiracy theory".

Founding the Fellowship: Amateur Spies and the Quest for Peace: Colleague Charles Spicer introduces Ernest Tennant, a British WWI veteran deeply traumatized by the loss of his peers, who established a connection with Joachim von Ribbentrop, then an Anglophile, to bridge the gap between London and Berlin, leading to the creation of the Anglo-German Fellowship; key figures include the scholar Philip Conwell-Evans and Lord Lothian, with the Travelers Club in London serving as the operational hub where these "amateur spies" sought to civilize the Nazis through diplomacy. 1933

The time was November 22, 1963 when the President of the United States, JFK was assassinated. Traumatized by the event, many citizens became stunned by the event, too much at the time to question the incident.

Who may have been involved? Was the arrested shooter the lone gunman? These questions have been surfacing ever since to coin the phrase "conspiracy theory" as the example of the term.

As Brian Walshe's competency hearing looms, a new question is taking over the courtroom: is he really unable to stand trial—or is this just another con from a man who's been manipulating people his entire life? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we revisit the evidence that started it all. The disturbing Google searches like “10 ways to dispose of a body,” “Hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “Can you be charged with murder without a body.” The Home Depot trip caught on camera. The blood in the basement, the broken knife, the trash bags full of evidence—all of it pointing to a carefully constructed cover-up following the disappearance of Ana Walshe on New Year's Day, 2023. We also dig into Walshe's long history of fraud, deceit, and manipulation—from the Andy Warhol art scam to the conflicting stories he spun after Ana vanished. And now, after a jailhouse stabbing that left him claiming trauma and confusion, the defense says he's too impaired to participate in his trial. But is this genuine mental decline—or yet another strategy to delay the inevitable? Tony breaks down the psychology of control, the legal threshold for competency, and the patterns that define serial manipulators like Walshe. This case isn't about memory loss or confusion—it's about whether the justice system can recognize when it's being played. ⚖️ Walshe remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The Old Man Haunted by BigfootIn a smoky Nashville bar, the Jim buys a beer for the elderly, down-on-his-luck Samuel, a monthly regular living frugally on Social Security in a rooming house. Spotting Samuel's hunger, the narrator orders him food and invites him to join at his table. Over burgers and beers, the narrator introduces himself as Jim from Louisville, fresh from hurricane repair work in Florida. Samuel, born and raised in North Carolina's mountains, opens up about why he left his beloved home at 21—not for war or lack of work, but for a darker reason. Eager for steady pay during scarce times, young Samuel joined a logging company, impressing the foreman with his marksmanship and landing a job as an armed deputy enforcing land evictions on mountain families. Shunned by his community for aiding the bosses, Samuel grew isolated. The story's climax came during the third attempt to evict the reclusive Prater clan from their ancient 1,800-acre forest homestead, led by the fierce Mammy Prater. Using kidnapped six-year-old Jenny as leverage, the deputies arrived to collect weapons and demand departure. The Praters complied eerily, gathering to unleash a haunting, high-pitched chant that summoned massive, hairy ape-like beasts from the woods. The creatures slaughtered the entire eviction party in a frenzy of boulders, gunfire, and gore, sparing only Samuel after Mammy declared him a "token" to flee and never return or speak of it. Traumatized, Samuel was forever exiled from his home and family. Years later, tears in his eyes, he shares the tale with the narrator, who leaves unsettled—haunted by nightmares of the impossible horror, unsure if he believes it but forever changed by the old man's quiet burden.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
