Depression, anxiety, and stress are hitting teens and adults harder than ever. But part of the answer is something many overlook or dismiss as unscientific says Dr. Lisa Miller. Spirituality. A psychologist at Columbia University and author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain, Dr. Miller tells Jesse she uses research to show that spirituality isn't just a belief system, it's a measurable force that shapes how we think, feel, and cope.

Join DiscourseDiscourse is our VIP community where listeners share insights, opinions and perspectives on the stuff we love to talk about. You can become a member by making a small monthly pledge hereShow notesIn a packed edition of Spotlight, we start our Discourse Digest segment with a dive into the men's 5000m, where non-African athletes have taken control of the rankings and victories so far in 2025. Is this an aberration, or the beginning of a trend in distance running? We discuss what might be shifting in the sport to close the gap.Next, we explore the phenomenon of athletes switching national allegiance—this time with Jamaican sprinters now competing for Turkey. Ross and Gareth look at historical examples from track, rugby, cricket and football, while defending the right of athletes to make these switches, and the necessity for sport to minimize them. Discussion shifts to the case of a trans cricketer who has claimed “no advantage” based on test results and comparisons to females. Both the science and logic behind the appeal are bluntly rebutted by Ross, who explains how the science is being misused, and that these "data snapshots" actually reveal a mediocre male with advantage rather than a trans athlete without advantage. We also return to youth sport after Gareth flagged eye-catching performances by 10- and 13-year-olds in the UK. While their talent is undeniable, we ask whether early hype might do more harm than good?In Ross Replies (30:00), Ross has an 'off-week', because listener Ewan Morris' fascinating insights carry the segment. He explained how some young athletes experience an expiratory flow limitation during breathing, because lung growth outpaces airway development, as yet another challenge that adolescent athletes experience in the journey to adulthood.In Listener Lens (33:51), we respond to Sean's question about muscle cramps in an ultrarunner he coaches. Ross breaks down two theories—electrolytes vs. fatigue-induced failure of neural regulation—and explains why cramp is far more about the nervous system than sodium and magnesium. We also learn the fascinating reasons why pickle juice may work... but not for the reasons people think, and offer suggestions for what Sean might consider adding to the plan.In Center Stage (53:33), we revisit sports science's replication crisis. Gareth shares his frustration at the sciences, while Ross explores the structural issues behind shaky science, and offers a partial defence of the failures to produce robust science.And Finally (1:15:16), we look ahead to Faith Kipyegon's attempt at a sub-four minute mile, which haunted Ross' dreams, and we make our predictions.Some linksDistance running shifts: Aberration or a narrowing gap?A review exploring the causes of muscle crampsStudy showing that electrolyte loss is not associated with muscle crampThe pickle juice effect Hosted on Acast.

For physicists, chemists, diplomats, medical researchers, and even writers, the Nobel Prize represents the ultimate accolade. Since Their inception in 1901, the purpose has been to honour those who "during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind", in their respective fields. Now that wording comes from the will of Alfred Nobel himself, which was signed in November 1895 in Paris. The Swedish chemist and industrialist held over 350 scientific patents during his lifetime, with dynamite being the invention that made him extraordinarily wealthy.

Show Notes: •Quality diminishes as numbers increase. •As everyone joins in, fewer and fewer real authorities. •A guy doesn't publish directly, but is "presented" by others so you can't block his inanities. If you click on his site, there is a ridiculous training program hawked with absurd promises. He's a hustler. I block the people "presenting" him. •All those people with 17 "rules" for great leadership and charts for making decisions have never been a great leader or decision maker. If they were, why would they post this nonsense publicly. Can you see a leader with a chart or list in his pocket consulting it in the boardroom? •The there are the 'ad hominem' attacks, very popular on Facebook, where a person with an IQ 80 points lower than yours say simply, "That's a dumb question" or "You're clueless." •About 90% of the stuff that shows up on my X feed, which I don't want and never requested, is anti-Trump, often with ridiculous claim, false statistics, and posted by third parties but representing some random Democratic office holder. Have you ever considered that it's you and a terrible strategy and candidate, and not "them"? •Unscientific survey: Rabid Democrats are far more profane and obscene than Rabid Republicans. (I think profanity is the resort of the non-intellectual.) •There ARE some intellectual discussions on LinkedIn about politics, the environment, education, and so on. But they are usually interrupted and often ended by some wise ass who barges in with inanity. •One of my model train groups had to be ended because of political hostility (a train car had Trump written on the side). •There are also "cultists," for example with battleships of all things. •And then on Facebook, all the soft porn with usually Asian women in five-inch Laboutins and perfect legs.

He has a bombshell one-pager showing, using the FDA's own information, that not a single vaccine on the child vaccination schedule was approved based on a legitimate long-term placebo-controlled trial. He notes how they were either only days or months long, lacked a large sample size, and/or used other vaccines as the control group! In fact, we see from some of the trials that some of these vaccines had high rates of serious adverse events. Aaron believes we are winning in the court of public opinion and previews some of his legal strategies to expose the truth and finally inject freedom into the biomedical security state.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Back in University, I met my first husband, who happened to be an atheist. As a devout Catholic, his skepticism toward Christianity caught me off guard. I was innocent and naive, and his dark crusade stories left me questioning my beliefs. Eventually, I ended up becoming an atheist too.  But years later, during my lowest moments battling fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, and depression, I contemplated suicide. However, a small voice reminded me that I had a choice. That moment became a turning point in my life, where I embraced life and made choices aligned with my true desires. Miraculously, I healed.  During this episode of Light Warrior Radio featuring Eldon Taylor and his latest book, Questioning Spirituality: Is it Irrational to Believe in God? which was born from his personal experience in a household that blended spirituality and science. Perhaps this book could have spared me from needing illness to bring me back to my true self.  During the episode, we delve into intriguing topics such as: Why do young people struggle with believing in a higher power?Are there any practical arguments in favor of spirituality?What are some of the arguments supporting atheism, and should we dismiss them?And so much more!

Last episode was all about science! This one not so much.You might recall that last episode of the podcast explored the science of how acupuncture works. Research articles were cited, physiological processes were discussed, long words were used. Today we're ditching all that and talking about how acupuncture REALLY works. We'll dive into qi and blood, heat and cold, yin and yang, and all sorts of other interesting concepts that help acupuncturists understand what's happening in the body. Think of this episode as Year One of acupuncture school condensed into 25 minutes.So just a refresher…episode 12 discussed the physiological effects of acupuncture in a few key areas: improving circulation, reducing inflammation, regulating the nervous and endocrine systems, increasing endorphins, and modulating brain waves. In today's episode we look at those key areas and explain an acupuncturist's perspective on how exactly acupuncture produces all those changes in the body.While the physiological changes that happen in response to acupuncture are fascinating, it's the theory and philosophy behind it that truly explains its efficacy.

What's the best way to end a cut once you've reached your body fat goal? Should you slowly ramp up calories and reap the purported benefits of a reverse diet, or is that a waste of time or worse, potentially negative? Is it better to increase your calorie intake right to maintenance, or will that result in gaining back the fat you lost due to metabolic adaptation? There's been a bit of controversy in the fitness space in recent years over reverse dieting. In fact, it's something I've changed my mind about over the years as the research panned out. In this interview, I chat with Cody McBroom about the science of reverse dieting and when it makes sense for everyday fitness folks. Because while there's no denying the usefulness of science and fitness research, real life isn't a laboratory. Unscientific methods can still prove useful, and sometimes for surprising reasons. So what does the science say about reverse dieting, and how does that compare with the practical utility of slowly increasing calories after a cut? Cody is a repeat-guest on my show, but in case you're not familiar with him, he's the CEO and founder of the Tailored Coaching Method, a lifestyle training and nutrition coaching company (that also coaches how to coach), and host of the Tailored Life podcast. In other words, Cody not only has a background in evidence-based fitness, but also years of in-the-trenches experience working with clients and figuring out what works and what doesn't in the real world. In this interview, Cody and I talk about . . . What reverse dieting is, the purported benefits, and what science says about it How a slow increase in calories can affect dietary compliance and self control when ending a cut How people respond differently to eating more food Who can benefit from a reverse diet, why, and whether you should do one Reverse diets versus recovery diets The negative effects of calorie deficits and how to know if it's time to reverse diet And more . . . So, if you want to learn what science says about reverse dieting, how reverse dieting pans out in the real world, whether you should reverse diet, and a lot more, don't skip this episode! --- Timestamps 0:00 - Try Triton today!
