Ever tell yourself that life will finally settle down after this next hurdle? For a brief moment, it seems to—and then life smacks you with the unexpected. Job loss, a new love, divorce papers, your teenager's puberty, a health scare, a new life. Good or bad, it's always change. We crave the constant, but the only thing constant is change. In this introductory episode of ATYPICAL Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, Amie and her guest dismantle the pervasive myth of linear progression of life and offer a liberating alternative.

Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and the raw, honest stories of those who have dared to deviate, this episode will help you: Recognize the "linearity lie" and its impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Embrace the power of pivots, detours, and "failures" as essential parts of your unique journey.

Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut, questioning your path, or simply seeking a more authentic way to live, this conversation will provide you with the validation and tools to trade the illusion of control for the reality of a life fully lived.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner is a renowned expert in the field of functional medicine, hosting the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast. With extensive experience and a passion for holistic health, Dr. Woolner has been instrumental in advocating for the integration of functional medicine principles into mainstream healthcare. His work focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals and practitioners to achieve optimal health outcomes through lifestyle modifications and evidence-based practices. Dr. Andrew Wells is a leading voice in the healthcare community, known for his insights into the shortcomings of the conventional medical system. With a deep understanding of healthcare practices and patient needs, Dr. Wells contributes significantly to the discourse on improving health outcomes through innovative approaches in functional medicine. He brings a critical perspective to the challenges facing healthcare today, emphasizing a root-cause, patient-centered approach to wellness. Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells break down a groundbreaking report released by the White House, known as the Maha Report. The report, which mirrors the ethos of functional medicine, boldly critiques major sectors like Big Food, Big Pharma, and the healthcare system for today's public health crises. It highlights an alarming statistic that today's children are the sickest generation in American history, a statement that underscores the urgent need for a new healthcare paradigm. As Dr. Woolner points out, the report's insights align closely with principles that functional medicine practitioners have championed for years, bringing validation to this discipline at the highest levels of government. Throughout the episode, Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells delve into the four key root causes identified in the Maha Report: ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, sedentary screen-based lifestyles, and over-medication. These elements have dramatically contributed to deteriorating health metrics in the U.S., particularly among children. With 70% of a child's caloric intake coming from ultra-processed foods and a significant rise in various health issues, the episode makes a compelling case for functional medicine as a solution. Dr. Wells emphasizes the potential for functional medicine to fill the void left by conventional practices, citing a 940% increase in functional medicine practices as evidence of growing demand. This episode calls on practitioners to step into this vacuum and lead their communities toward better health outcomes. Key Takeaways: Maha Report's Findings: The report exposes how systemic issues like Big Food and Big Pharma contribute to the deteriorating health of American children, echoing truths long held by functional medicine practitioners. Identifying Root Causes: The report highlights four major contributors to poor health—processed foods, environmental toxins, sedentary lifestyles, and over-medication—urging a comprehensive reevaluation of healthcare strategies. Role of Functional Medicine: Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells advocate for functional medicine's root-cause approach as a practical solution to contemporary health challenges, underlining the importance of lifestyle modification. The Practitioner Opportunity: With heightened awareness generated by the Maha Report, practitioners are encouraged to take leadership in community health, utilizing functional medicine frameworks to drive positive change. Growing Demand for Change: As traditional healthcare models fail to address these growing concerns, the unprecedented rise in functional medicine practices signifies a patient-driven demand for more effective health interventions. Notable Quotes: "This isn't a conspiracy theory. It is the official report that almost no one is talking about." – Dr. Chad Woolner "Americans are the sickest people in the world by far. We have the most chronic disease in almost every single category." – Dr. Andrew Wells "This report is a massive validation of the root cause model." – Dr. Chad Woolner "If you're struggling with your own health issues and you're looking for answers, we invite you to be part of the solution." – Dr. Andrew Wells "Functional medicine can lead the way, but it's much more than just supplements; it's about true long-term change." – Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Dr. Chad Woolner's Website: Chad Woolner The Maha Report (Referenced Document) Simplified Functional Medicine Podcast Listeners are encouraged to catch the full episode for a more in-depth analysis and to discover strategies for implementing functional medicine approaches in their communities. Stay tuned for more insightful episodes on the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, where health and wellness are explored in transformative ways.

The Silk Road may be the most famous trade network in history. But the flow of silk from China to the Middle East and Europe isn't the only textile trade that's made its mark on Central Asia, the subject of Chris Aslan's latest book Unravelling the Silk Road: Travels and Textiles in Central Asia (Icon Books, 2024), recently published in paperback. Drawing on over a decade's worth of experience in countries like Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Aslan notes that there's really three “roads”: In addition to the famed Silk Road, there's also the Wool Road, tied to nomads across Central Asia, and the Cotton Road, a modern-day source of economic growth–and environmental damage.

Flight Rules are the hard-earned body of knowledge recorded in manuals that list, step-by-step, what to do if X occurs, and why. Essentially, they are extremely detailed, scenario-specific standard operating procedures.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Mick Crotty, a GP with a keen specialization in obesity medicine. We explore the multifaceted nature of obesity, going beyond the superficial metrics of BMI to consider it as a chronic neuroendocrine disease impacting overall health. Dr. Crotty shares his insights on the societal biases tied to body size and underscores the need for a shift in focus from achieving thinness to improving health. As we navigate this complex topic, we reveal the challenges faced by healthcare professionals, especially in places like Ireland where defined training pathways for obesity medicine specialists are scarce. The episode culminates in a re-evaluation of traditional weight management approaches. From the challenges of maternal health care linked to weight stigma to the promising role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in treating obesity, we discuss the importance of understanding the biological and hormonal underpinnings of weight. Dr. Crotty advocates for a compassionate, individualized approach to obesity, treating it as a chronic illness that requires nuanced care, much like other long-term health conditions.

If you'd like to discuss your finances with a professional, you can connect with Luke here: https://www.viderefinancial.com/contact———————————————————————Get your free verifiable CPD for this episode here >>> ———————————————————————Unravelling the complexities of the NHS pension scheme can feel like navigating a labyrinth, but financial planning expert Luke Hurley breaks it down with crystal-clear explanations that will transform your understanding.Luke begins by framing the NHS pension within the broader context of financial independence – that pivotal moment when work becomes a choice rather than a necessity. While the average UK household might target around £60,000 annually for a "comfortable" retirement, Luke emphasizes that everyone's number is different, and knowing your personal target is essential for effective planning.Through an illuminating case study, we see exactly how the NHS pension fits into a comprehensive financial plan, providing that crucial stream of guaranteed, inflation-protected income that forms the bedrock of retirement security. But the podcast quickly dispels common misconceptions: your NHS pension is not a pot of money you're building up – it's a promised future income from the government. Those contributions you make? They're essentially membership fees, not investments growing in an account with your name on it.The most valuable insights come when Luke explains how your pension actually grows (through earnings and annual revaluation), the differences between the three pension sections (1995, 2008, and 2015), and the advantages and limitations of the scheme. Particularly eye-opening is the discussion of how reforms have progressively pushed back normal retirement ages and reduced spouse/partner benefits – critical knowledge for anyone making long-term plans.Whether you're just starting your NHS career or approaching retirement, this episode delivers practical wisdom that will help you make informed decisions about your financial future. And as a bonus, UK dentists can earn free verifiable CPD by completing a simple questionnaire after listening – making this not just an educational experience, but a professionally valuable one too.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Today I'm with Leila from Melbourne, Australia. Leila has three children who are now 9, 7 and 4, and their journey to unschooling began when they decided not to continue with school for her eldest child after the Covid lockdown. Leila describes how her interest in conscious parenting and centering the relationship with her children helped her move away from trying to force the learning and to see instead how the natural learning unfolded. We talk about how hard it is to get beyond our own conditioning and all the triggers that come up, and we talk about Leila's own experience of education and how her PhD in Anthrolopology has allowed her to see learning in a wider context.Connect with Leila on InstagramYou can find my blog, workshops and courses at:www.esther-jones.comOr, connect with me onInstagram: @_esther.jonesFacebook:@theunschoolspace

Breathe Pictures Photography Podcast: Documentaries and Interviews
Marcus Bleasdale has spent his life in places most of us would struggle to imagine, photographically documenting conflict zones and communities caught in the crossfire of politics and profit. In this conversation within The Photowalk show, Marcus talks about the responsibility of witnessing brutal truths, from child labour in the Democratic Republic of Congo to the mining of conflict minerals used in our phones and tech, and how his book The Unravelling, forces us to reckon with the uncomfortable fact that everyday convenience often comes at someone else's expense. The mailbag is back and in today's: Spike Boydell sends in a film link that had me properly thinking about connection. Jerilyn Owen shares how making a self-portrait is helping her learn acceptance. Samantha Ramsay finds something spiritual in photographing hands, while Greg Picone stumbles across a spooky landscape right behind his own backyard. Randy Bullerwell's been capturing carnival season in Aruba in a way that's anything but ordinary and Complaints Corner is open again… this time, it's a case of the wrong pants. Plus, a quick reminder: it's the final week for this month's One Word Assignment, set by Claire Thomas. Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB, Arthelper and LOWA who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.

In this NBN episode host Hollay Ghadery talks to bestselling author Donna Besel about her staggering memoir, The Unravelling: Incest and the Destruction of a Family (University of Regina Press, 2021) which has been hailed as “a shattering story and an essential one, told with consummate honesty and courage.” —Joan Thomas, author of Five Wives The Unravelling is a brave, riveting telling of the destruction caused by sexual assault within a family, and the physical, psychological, emotional, financial, and legal tolls survivors often shoulder. Donna Besel offers an honest portrayal of the years-long police process from disclosure to prosecution that offers readers greater insight into the challenges victims face and the remarkable strength and resilience required to obtain some measure of justice. More about The Unravelling: It's the antithesis of why a wedding should be memorable. In 1992, at a sister's nuptials, Donna Besel's family members discovered that their father, Jock Tod, had molested their youngest sister. After this disclosure, the other five sisters admitted their father had assaulted them when they were younger and had been doing so for years. Despite there being enough evidence to charge their father, the lengthy prosecution rocked Besel's family and deeply divided their small rural community. More about Donna Besel: Donna Besel loves writing of all kinds, and does presentations for schools, libraries, universities, conferences, and retreats. Her work has gained recognition from CBC Literary Awards (three times), won national contests, and appeared in literary journals, magazines, and anthologies.
