Lionel delivers a verbal spanking to political strategists, explaining why strategy demands choosing "amputation" over "death" in the brutal New York City election. Discover the cold, brutal reality of "how the game works" and why politics is visceral—not about facts. We dissect the terrifying new political landscape: from organized urban unrest based on "war game framing" by globalist entities, to the immediate risk posed by the emergency merger of trans activism and Antifa, dubbed "Trantifa". Lionel warns Republicans about their massive "organizing gap" and offers blunt suggestions for domestic security. Plus, a deep dive into John Bolton's stunning 18-count indictment under the Espionage Act, sharp commentary on "lawfare," and the hilarious, bizarre defenses used during viral traffic stops—like "I wasn't driving, I was traveling". Finally, stern warnings about the digital decline (never post that duck-lip selfie!) and a war waged against irritating verbal tics, including "bruh" and the misuse of brand names as verbs.

Send us a textCancer is the second leading cause of death, and while it sparks fear for good reason, 40% of cases are preventable. In this episode, I outline six practical, evidence-based steps that can help reduce your risk.We begin by understanding which cancers are most common based on gender—breast, colon, and lung in women; prostate, colon, and lung in men. While some rare cancers (like pancreatic or ovarian) evoke greater fear, the focus here is on the ones we're more likely to face and can meaningfully act on.Next, I break down risk factors into two categories. Some are unavoidable—your sex, age, or family history. For example, if a close relative had breast or colon cancer, early screening or genetic testing may be warranted. However, only about 5–10% of cancers are directly linked to inherited genetic mutations (American Cancer Society).The more empowering list? Avoidable risk factors—where our actions matter most. Smoking remains the leading modifiable cause of cancer, responsible for about 19% of all cases. Excess weight and obesity account for another 8% and are especially tied to hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic and ovarian (ScienceDirect) and PubMed). Visceral fat appears more predictive than BMI alone. Alcohol, especially in large quantities, is also linked to liver, GI, and breast cancers.Some risks are cancer-specific. HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers, and melanoma is largely driven by UV exposure. Air pollution, especially particulate matter, may slightly increase lung cancer risk (ASCO Global Oncology).Step three is to act on what you can. Quit smoking, aim for a healthy weight, wear sun protection, and ensure your kids get their routine HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. Exercise plays a major role too—high activity levels correlate with 10–20% lower risk of several major cancers (JAMA). In colon cancer survivors, regular exercise reduced recurrence by 30% (PubMed).Step four is awareness: don't ignore new symptoms like unexplained bleeding or lumps. Early detection can be life-saving.Step five is screening. If you're 45 or older, colonoscopy is now recommended. Women should get regular mammograms and PAP smears, and individuals with smoking history may benefit from lung CT scans. For rarer cancers with family history, targeted screenings may apply. I also address why whole-body MRIs and liquid biopsies aren't ready for routine use.Step six? Don't put your hope in supplements. Large trials show omega-3s, vitamin D, beta carotene, and vitamin C offer no real protective benefit (NEJM VITAL Study, Meta-analysis on Vitamin C, JNCI on aspirin).Takeaways: You can reduce your cancer risk by modifying lifestyle factors like smoking, weight, and activity. Don't delay screenings—they catch cancers early when treatment is most effective. And remember: no supplement replaces proven preventive strategies.Visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com for more evidence-based tools, and listen to the full episode for actionable steps to help you live long and well.

Today, we're talking about tesamorelin, a peptide that works through the growth hormone pathway and is especially effective when it comes to targeting stubborn belly fat. If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. https://pepties.com/partners/ So, what exactly is tesamorelin? In simple terms, it's a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog—basically, it signals your pituitary gland to release more growth hormone (GH). Why does that matter? Because GH plays a big role in fat metabolism, especially when it comes to visceral fat, the deep fat that surrounds your organs in your abdominal region. Here's how it works: when GH levels rise, your body starts breaking down fat for energy—a process called lipolysis. Visceral fat, in particular, is very responsive to GH. Reducing this type of fat isn't just about looking better; it also improves metabolic health, boosts insulin sensitivity, and lowers inflammation, all of which support long-term health and reduce your risk of heart disease. Why not just give GH directly? Your body only produces a certain amount of GH naturally, and this declines with age. Giving exogenous GH can boost levels quickly, but it comes with higher risks like swelling, joint pain, and sometimes insulin resistance if overused.  Tesamorelin, on the other hand, stimulates your own pituitary gland to release GH naturally, which tends to be safer and more physiologic over time. That said, GH injections might be preferred in certain clinical scenarios, but for most people, tesamorelin offers a more controlled approach. What about side effects? Some common ones include joint pain, swelling, and muscle aches. These happen because GH causes fluid retention and increased tissue growth, which can put pressure on joints and muscles.  Also, tesamorelin can slightly increase blood sugar, so people with diabetes or prediabetes should be monitored carefully. But why does this happen? Since tesamorelin works by boosting your growth hormone, it can have an impact on how your body handles glucose. Growth hormone naturally makes your body a little less sensitive to insulin, which means your cells don't take up sugar as efficiently. So, some people might notice a slight rise in fasting blood sugar when they start using tesamorelin. But here's the interesting part: growth hormone also increases IGF-1, which has some insulin-like effects. In most healthy people, this helps balance things out, so blood sugar doesn't spike dramatically. But if someone already has prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, it's something to keep an eye on. The takeaway? Tesamorelin can slightly raise blood sugar, but it's usually manageable. Regular monitoring is smart, especially for anyone with a history of blood sugar issues. And compared to direct growth hormone injections, tesamorelin tends to have less of an effect on blood sugar because it stimulates your body to release GH naturally, instead of flooding your system with it. Typical dosing of tesamorelin For men, peptide therapy is often 1 mg at night to support natural GH peaks during sleep, and 1 mg in the morning before fasted cardio or exercise. Women usually do 1 mg daily. Tesamorelin can be expensive, so many people cycle it 5 days on, 2 days off to reduce cost, or just do 1 mg at night, which still supports GH production and can even improve sleep. Typically, tesamorelin is cycled for 8 weeks on, then 8 weeks off, and most people start noticing results after 4 to 6 weeks. This cycling helps manage cost, reduce potential side effects, and allows the body to maintain responsiveness to the therapy. My Final thoughts Tesamorelin is a powerful tool for targeting visceral fat and improving body composition safely through your natural GH pathways. It's not a cheap therapy, but if used strategically—especially timed with sleep or exercise—it can give great results while minimizing side effects. Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Angela is joined by internationally renowned medical doctor and researcher Dr. William Li for an eye-opening conversation about metabolism, fat loss, and the science of food as medicine. Dr. Li debunks common myths, like the belief that metabolism “slows down” with age, and explains how excess body fat, not age, is the real driver of metabolic decline. They also explore groundbreaking research on foods that activate brown fat, reduce visceral fat, and improve health span, offering practical, science-backed strategies you can use today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolism Myths Debunked: Human metabolism remains rock-stable from ages 20–60 and only slightly declines after that. The real issue is excess fat, not aging. Visceral vs. Brown Fat: Visceral fat harms metabolism, while brown fat is metabolically active and helps burn visceral fat. Food as Medicine: Everyday foods like tomatoes, berries, extra virgin olive oil, and even coffee can activate brown fat and improve metabolic health. Lifestyle Choices Matter: Stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods slow metabolism. With the right choices, 60 can truly be the new 20. Personalized Health: There's no one-size-fits-all prescription. How you live, eat, and manage stress determines how well your metabolism functions.

In this episode of the Longevity & Aging Series, Girish Harinath from AgelessRx joins host Dr. Evgeniy Galimov to discuss a research paper he co-authored in Volume 17, Issue 4 of Aging-US, titled “Influence of rapamycin on safety and healthspan metrics after one year: PEARL trial results.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206235 Corresponding author - Stefanie L. Morgan - stefanie@agelessrx.com Video interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-NvskI8Ve0 Longevity & Aging Series - https://www.aging-us.com/longevity Abstract Design: This 48-week decentralized, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (NCT04488601) evaluated the long-term safety of intermittent low-dose rapamycin in a healthy, normative-aging human cohort. Participants received placebo, 5 mg or 10 mg compounded rapamycin weekly. The primary outcome measure was visceral adiposity (by DXA scan), secondary outcomes were blood biomarkers, and lean tissue and bone mineral content (by DXA scan). Established surveys were utilized to evaluate health and well-being. Safety was assessed through adverse events and blood biomarker monitoring. Results: Adverse and serious adverse events were similar across all groups. Visceral adiposity did not change significantly (ηp2 = 0.001, p = 0.942), and changes in blood biomarkers remained within normal ranges. Lean tissue mass (ηp2 = 0.202, p = 0.013) and self-reported pain (ηp2 = 0.168, p = 0.015) improved significantly for women using 10 mg rapamycin. Self-reported emotional well-being (ηp2 = 0.108, p = 0.023) and general health (ηp2 = 0.166, p = 0.004) also improved for those using 5 mg rapamycin. No other significant effects were observed. Conclusions: Low-dose, intermittent rapamycin administration over 48 weeks is relatively safe in healthy, normative-aging adults, and was associated with significant improvements in lean tissue mass and pain in women. Future work will evaluate benefits of a broader range of rapamycin doses on healthspan metrics for longevity, and will aim to more comprehensively establish efficacy.

‘The Man In My Basement': Nadia Latif & Willem Dafoe On Their Visceral and Poignant Thriller, Powerful Themes Staying with You, Robert Eggers' ‘Werewolf' & More [The Discourse Podcast]

Welcome to The Peptide Podcast. In this episode, we're unpacking the latest on retatrutide and how it measures up against semaglutide and tirzepatide.  If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going.  https://pepties.com/partners/ We'll look closely at what the studies tell us so far — from overall weight loss to reductions in visceral fat and how much lean muscle mass is preserved. We'll also talk about where the evidence is solid, where it's still developing, and why cross-trial comparisons should be made with caution. What is retatrutide? So let's start with the basics—what is retatrutide? Retatrutide is a new type of weight-loss medication called a triple agonist. That sounds fancy, but what it really means is that it targets three hormone receptors in the gut and pancreas: GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon. Each of these plays a slightly different role in metabolism and appetite regulation. To break it down: GLP-1, which you might already know from drugs like semaglutide, mainly slows digestion, helps you feel full, and improves insulin sensitivity. GIP, which tirzepatide targets along with GLP-1, also helps regulate blood sugar and may improve how the body stores and burns fat. Retatrutide adds glucagon receptor activation on top of that, which seems to further boost fat burning. So how does this compare to semaglutide and tirzepatide? Semaglutide is a GLP-1-only drug, so it mainly works by reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, hitting GLP-1 and GIP, which gives it a slightly stronger effect on blood sugar control and fat metabolism compared to semaglutide. Retatrutide goes one step further by adding glucagon activity, potentially giving more total fat loss. In other words, you can think of it like a spectrum: semaglutide hits one target, tirzepatide hits two, and retatrutide hits three—each additional receptor seems to enhance metabolic effects and fat loss in clinical trials. That's why people are excited about retatrutide, though it's still early, and we're waiting on larger studies to see exactly how it compares head-to-head with the others. And that's going to be key, since right now we don't have direct comparisons to other advanced therapies like semaglutide or tirzepatide in the published Phase 2 data. How does retatrutide compare to semaglutide and tirzepatide? Total body weight loss: Now let's put these three medications side by side and look at what the trials actually tell us about total body weight loss. Starting with retatrutide: in its Phase 2 obesity program, the numbers were unusually large, especially given the relatively short trial window. In the 48-week study, people on the higher doses—8 or 12 milligrams weekly—lost about 22 to 24% of their body weight on average. That's the result that really made headlines. It's worth noting that some trials report slightly different averages depending on the group studied—people with obesity but no diabetes versus people with type 2 diabetes—but across the board, that 48-week signal is consistently very strong. For comparison, let's step back to semaglutide at the 2.4 mg dose, which was tested in the pivotal STEP-1 trial. Over 68 weeks, participants lost about 15% of their body weight on average. That was a landmark finding when it was published in the New England Journal of Medicine—it essentially set the modern benchmark for what a GLP-1 monotherapy could do. Then we have tirzepatide, the dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist. The SURMOUNT-1 trial, which ran for 72 weeks, showed dose-dependent results: about 15% weight loss at 5 mg, 19.5% at 10 mg, and 20.9% at 15 mg, compared to only around 3% with placebo. Other obesity studies with tirzepatide have backed this up, especially at the higher doses. And in head-to-head comparisons with semaglutide, tirzepatide has consistently come out on top. So if we zoom out: retatrutide's Phase 2 data suggest the greatest average reductions—over 22%—in less than a year. Tirzepatide follows closely behind with around 21% over 72 weeks. And semaglutide shows very meaningful, but smaller, weight loss of around 15% over a similar time frame. The big caveat here is that these aren't perfect apples-to-apples comparisons. The trials differed in their length, the types of patients enrolled—some had type 2 diabetes, some did not—their baseline weights, and even the way results were reported. Plus, retatrutide is still in Phase 2 for obesity, whereas semaglutide and tirzepatide already have large Phase 3 programs and real-world data backing them up. Visceral fat reduction: Next, let's talk about visceral fat reduction—that's the deep fat that surrounds organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines. It's particularly important because high levels of visceral fat are strongly linked to cardiometabolic disease. Starting with retatrutide, one of the Phase 2 substudies used DEXA scans to measure body composition in detail. At the higher doses—8 and 12 milligrams per week—participants saw visceral fat drop by about 29 to 31% over 48 weeks. That's a very large relative reduction in under a year and one of the reasons people are excited about retatrutide's potential not just for weight loss, but also for improving long-term metabolic health. How does that compare to the other drugs? With semaglutide, we also have DEXA and imaging substudies from the STEP program and follow-up mechanistic work. These consistently show meaningful visceral fat reductions, along with improvements in the ratio of lean to fat mass. The difference is that semaglutide studies typically report VAT changes as “significant and clinically relevant,” but they don't always publish one clear headline number that's directly comparable to retatrutide's ~30%. In other words, semaglutide definitely lowers visceral fat, but depending on the study and population, the exact percentage looks different. For tirzepatide, we also have imaging-based data from the SURMOUNT trials and related body-composition studies. These show that the majority of weight lost is fat mass—including a significant portion of visceral fat. Some analyses report reductions on par with what's seen with GLP-1 therapies, while others suggest tirzepatide may push a bit further. But again, the actual percentages vary depending on whether the study used DEXA, CT, or MRI, and on who was enrolled. The big caveat here is that we don't yet have a head-to-head imaging study comparing all three drugs in the same population with the same methods. Retatrutide's ~30% visceral fat drop is certainly eye-catching, but without that kind of standardized comparison, it's hard to say definitively whether it's truly better than semaglutide or tirzepatide. Lean muscle mass preservation: Now let's shift to lean mass preservation, which is just as important as total weight or fat loss. Across all of the modern obesity drug trials, one thing has been consistent: most of the weight people lose is fat, but some lean tissue is lost too. That's expected whenever you're in a sustained calorie deficit. The question is how much muscle is preserved, and how the proportions break down. With retatrutide, the DEXA substudy showed something reassuring. Even though people lost a lot of total weight and fat, the proportion of lean mass lost compared to total weight loss was similar to what we see with other therapies. In other words, the drug seems to drive large fat reductions without causing disproportionate muscle loss. Interestingly, the absolute amount of lean tissue lost in kilograms was pretty stable across different doses, even though fat loss varied quite a bit. That suggests the extra weight loss with higher doses is really coming from fat, not muscle. Looking at semaglutide, the STEP trials with DEXA scans reported the same general pattern. People lost more fat than lean mass, and when you adjust for the total weight loss, body composition actually improved. In fact, some analyses showed a slight increase in the percentage of body weight that was lean tissue, even though the absolute lean mass in kilograms went down. So again, it's not that muscle isn't affected—it is—but fat loss makes up the majority of the change. For tirzepatide, the SURMOUNT body-composition studies found that about 75% of the weight lost is fat and about 25% is lean mass. That split is very similar to what was seen in the placebo groups, which means the drug isn't shifting the balance unfavorably. It preferentially reduces fat, while lean mass preservation is in the same ballpark as semaglutide and retatrutide. Now, here's the important nuance: lean mass on a DEXA scan isn't just skeletal muscle. It includes water, organ tissue, and other components. So if someone loses 3 or 4 kilograms of “lean mass,” we don't know how much of that is functional muscle versus water or smaller organ size. That's why these numbers can be misleading if you take them at face value. And this is where lifestyle comes in. Resistance training and adequate protein intake are critical alongside medication. Lifting weights or doing bodyweight resistance work helps preserve functional muscle, while getting enough protein—typically somewhere in the range of 0.8 to 1 gram per pound per day depending on age and activity—supports muscle repair and maintenance. Every trial we've seen shows that the best outcomes, in terms of maintaining strength and function, come from pairing these drugs with exercise and nutrition strategies. That way, the unavoidable lean mass changes have far less impact on long-term metabolic health and performance. Limitations, biases, and what's missing (the critical context). No large, peer-reviewed head-to-head trials (yet) comparing retatrutide with semaglutide or tirzepatide for the same endpoints using identical imaging protocols. Most comparisons are cross-trial and therefore imperfect. Retatrutide Phase-2 was often compared to placebo or dulaglutide (in the T2D DEXA substudy) rather than to semaglutide or tirzepatide. A head-to-head (planned/registered) study vs tirzepatide is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov but results are not published yet. Different populations & durations. Some retatrutide data come from cohorts that include people with T2D or NAFLD; semaglutide STEP trials were often in people with obesity (without diabetes) and run longer (68 weeks), while tirzepatide SURMOUNT trials ran to 72 weeks. These differences change the absolute and percent outcomes. Funding and reporting bias. Many of the early retatrutide analyses are industry-funded (Eli Lilly), which is standard for drug development, but it requires us to carefully read methods, endpoints, and completeness of reporting. Independent replication and Phase-3 confirmation matter. Imaging method variation. VAT reported by DXA vs MRI vs CT are not directly interchangeable. Some trials report VAT area, others percent change; that complicates cross-trial percent comparisons.  Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Film writer and critic Brendan Hodges joins to discuss Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, a self-proclaimed love letter to the filmmaker's WWII veteran father and all the fighting men of the Second World War. Visceral, upsetting, and deeply conflicted, the film formally disavows many of Spielberg's more populist tendencies as director and creates a tension between the valorizing, mythic tone of its war movie forebears and its own aims as a subjective, hyperreal chronicle of boots-on-the-ground combat. Is the film a viscious, jingoistic piece of propaganda? A formally exhilarating but ideologically dubious piece of late 20th century moviemaking? Or is it, as our guest asserts, one of the most misunderstood texts in popular American cinema? We begin by reflecting on Saving Private Ryan's legacy and cultural context, its place as a cultural behemoth and its application as a load-bearing hagiography for American militarism that found new purchase in a post-9/11 context just a few years after its release. Then, we examine Spielberg's formalism, how images contradict text within the film, and what to make of the movie's propositions on its own terms. Finally, we address the movie's evocation of difficult realities of warfare, and ask if the film meets the mandate and responsibility of such images; how history and contemporary context color our interpretations, and what value there is in continuing to return to such questions in our current moment.

The film follows Mima, a former J-Pop idol who has recently left the music group Cham! that made her famous and beloved in order to pursue a career as an actress. As Mima struggles to adapt to the demands of her new profession, she becomes the victim of an obsessive stalker and steadily begins to lose her grip on reality. Visceral, confounding, and richly layered with considerations about celebrity, artifice, and the toll of creating a public persona, Perfect Blue represents the very best animated cinema has to offer and showcases what the medium is capable of in the hands of a brilliant artist.We begin by unpacking the film's contemplations of public image and the fledgling internet; how Kon anticipates the production of digital avatars and how these versions of ourselves skew people's perceptions of our interiority. Then, we discuss Perfect Blue's perspective on patriarchal, predatory systems within entertainment and art, as well as how the film conveys the top-down proprietary relationships that we build around celebrity. Finally, we examine the film's core tragedy - the loss of agency and sense of self that necessary follows any participation within a larger system of public visibility and the subsequent collapse of solidarity these losses breed.Follow Lex Briscuso on Twitter.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

We welcome two brilliant debut novelists to Book Off this week, who go head to head in a war of the words...Xenobe Purvis and Gurnaik Johal have both recently published their first novels - and they are both brilliant! Hear them discuss their inspirations, writing and research techniques. how to choose a good title and why reading slowly is good. In a Book Off first - Gurnaik pitches a book he hasn't even finished yet! And there are some great recommendations all round. THE BOOK OFF 'The Portrait Of A Lady' by Henry James VS'Lonesome Dove' by Larry McMurtry And here's a little more about our guests' books:The Hounding by Xenobe Purvis Many stories are told about the five Mansfield sisters. They are haughty, thinking themselves better than their neighbours in the picturesque village of Little Nettlebed. They have taken the death of their grandmother hard. They are liars, troublemakers, untamed and dangerous... Accounts of their behaviour differ, but the villagers all agree that the girls are odd.One long summer, a heatwave descends. Bloated sea creatures wash up along the parched riverbed, animals grow frenzied, ravens gather on the roofs of those about to die. As the stifling heat grips the village, so does a strange rumour: the Mansfield sisters have been seen transforming into a pack of dogs.With the witch trials only a recent memory, hysteria sets in. Slowly but surely, the villagers become convinced that something strange is taking root in Little Nettlebed. And when a bark finally leads to a bite, the sisters will be the ones to pay for it.Visceral and richly atmospheric, The Hounding plunges its reader into 18th century Oxfordshire, where the power of a man's word is absolute, and it is safer to be a wild animal than an unconventional young woman.'Saraswadi' by Gurnaik Johal Centuries ago, the holy river Saraswati flowed through what is now Punjab. Many dismiss this as myth, but when Satnam arrives in his ancestral village for his grandmother's funeral, he finds water in the dried-up well behind her house. The discovery sets in motion a contentious scheme to unearth the lost river as an act of Hindu nationalist pride.The river changes the course of Satnam's life, and those of six others. As legends and histories resurface, the distant relatives - from a Canadian eco-saboteur to a Mauritian pest exterminator to a Bollywood stunt double - are brought together in a rapidly changing India. Ambitious, moving and brimming with folklore, Saraswati is a tour de force from one of Britain's most feted young writers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DSD 6.8 | That is where you should put your money For years researchers have sought out to better understand control mechanisms for a successful transition into lactation from the dry period. We've learned changing body condition score during the dry period is not acceptable, but what if it changes during late lactation?  How does this impact energy partitioning for the next lactation? Well managed high producing cows with high fertility might find themselves bred back in less than the “textbook ideal” condition score heading into the dry period. Can we alter the late lactation ration to successfully increase condition with little impact? Dr. Laura Hernandez from the University of Wisconsin worked with a team of researchers at the Forage Center to better understand what is happening if high energy is fed late in lactation through extensive data collection to determine the possible potential carry over effects for subsequent lactations. Listen into this compelling discussion as we learn more about the “black box” we know as the transition dairy cow and what phase to invest in to maximize your return.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel explores whether you can train fascia, separating myths from facts about this connective tissue. She discusses her personal journey with fascia-focused methods, including self-massage and Yoga Tune Up, and questions commonly held beliefs about fascia adaptation from exercise. Laurel critiques the metaphorical narratives versus physiological mechanisms, examining the roles of muscle, tendon, and the nervous system in recovery and training. She concludes with insights on why calling it "fascia training" might be more about branding than science.Sign up for our FREE Bone Density Mini Course: Barbell 101!Follow us on Instagram @movementlogictutorials00:00 Can you train fascia?02:26 Personal story10:39 Questioning what I'd been taught about fascia12:02 Fascia as values, worldview, group identity16:04 How did we get here – fascia research congress16:48 The reductionism that arose out of rejecting reductionism18:02 The problem with overpromising around significance of fascia or training fascia18:59 Blurring metaphor and mechanism23:24 What is fascia?24:03 Massage mostly stimulates skin24:29 Deep fascia and tendons are different25:18 Fascia not great at force transfer26:39 Visceral massage27:04 Training fascia is not what trains proprioception – motor learning is28:14 What makes a tissue trainable?33:42 Difference between general and specific training38:22 Adhesions, trigger points, scar tissue, fibrosis40:51 Hydrating fascia42:35 Circulation improvements58:19 Wrapping it up

Fat distribution matters more than weight alone for metabolic health, with invisible fat deposits in the liver, visceral area, and muscles driving inflammation before subcutaneous fat accumulates. These hidden fat stores can cause metabolic dysfunction even in people who appear thin, with liver fat becoming problematic at just 0.5 pounds while subcutaneous fat allows up to 22 pounds before similar risks develop.• Different fat storage locations have varying impacts on metabolic health• Subcutaneous fat is the least inflammatory and serves as energy storage, insulation, and hormonal signaling• Intramuscular fat directly impairs insulin sensitivity and muscle function• Visceral/abdominal fat secretes inflammatory cytokines and correlates with stress hormones• Liver fat most dramatically impairs metabolic function even in tiny amounts• About 40% of people with metabolic dysfunction have no visible weight issues• Diet composition, stress levels, movement patterns, and sleep all influence fat storage locations• Testing options include DEXA scans, Hume Health Body Pod, liver enzymes, waist-to-hip ratio• Building muscle, reducing refined carbs and alcohol, and managing stress reduce metabolically active fat• Frequent urination often connects to blood sugar issues, mineral imbalances, and dehydrationHydration reccomendations/Minerals/Electrolytes DON'T MISS A BEAT FROM DR.

This week on the Episode 73 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we're joined by the legend himself, Tanner Petulla (aka GETTER)—who's been making waves in the EDM and rap scenes for YEARS. From surviving gangrene at Electric Forest to being the best skater in the entire LA Valley as Bryce on The Real Bros of Simi Valley, Getter brings all the stories. We talk about his new sound now that he's back in the EDM game, his regret over the backlash on his Visceral album, and whether his Terror Reid project will live on. Plus, Getter drops an unreleased rap/dubstep track and surprises us with a happy, unreleased feel-good banger.

Visceral fat, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are driving the chronic disease epidemic—and yet, they're still misunderstood. In this compelling conversation, former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, MD, explains why he believes visceral adiposity is the greatest public health failure of our lifetime.Dr. Kessler brings decades of experience (as a pediatrician, legal expert, policy leader, and author of “The End of Overeating” and “Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine”) to explore how ultra-formulated foods impact our biology, why GLP-1 drugs are only a short-term tool, and how we've misunderstood addiction when it comes to food. He also opens up about his own struggles with weight gain and metabolic health, despite having all the professional knowledge and discipline in the world.This interview covers:The link between processed food, dopamine, and metabolic diseaseWhy insulin—not just glucose—should be front and centerThe role of ketogenic and lower-carb diets for people with visceral fat or food addictionWhat went wrong with the dietary guidelinesAnd what it will take to reverse course and reclaim our healthIf you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating your own metabolic journey, this conversation is compelling viewing. Dr. Kessler doesn't offer easy answers, but he does help clarify where the real problem lies and how we might begin to fix it.Expert Featured:Dr. David Kessler, FACHEResources Mentionedhttps://www.amazon.com/Diet-Drugs-Dopamine-David-Kessler-ebook/dp/B0D33Y6L42/Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

1. Loneliness Loneliness related to social isolation causes a chronic elevation in cortisol, which leads to inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Focus on nurturing at least 3 quality relationships. Prioritize regular social engagement and volunteering your time to help others. 2. Lack of sleepGetting less than 5 hours of sleep can increase your risk of early death by 30%! It also increases your risk of weight gain, cravings, and diabetes by 2 to 3 times. Always aim for at least 7 hours of sleep.3. Refined sugarProcessed sugar and starch contribute to liver fat, obesity, Alzheimer's, and inflammation. Cut sugar from your diet and follow a low-carb ketogenic diet. The Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter app allows you to quickly scan foods to identify the 3 key ingredients in most junk foods: sugars, starches, and seed oils. 4. Industrial seed oilsSeed oils create significant inflammation in the body. Avoid processed seed oils and choose healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, and lard. 5. Reduce visceral fat naturally Visceral fat surrounds the organs and directly correlates with your longevity. Reduce visceral fat naturally by doing intermittent fasting and keto. 6. Stop snackingConstant snacking makes it impossible for your body to repair damaged cells. Stop snacking and only eat when you're hungry.7. Nutrient deficiencies A magnesium deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and muscle cramps. Magnesium is found in leafy greens and pumpkin seeds, or you can take a magnesium glycinate supplement. It's said that 40% of people are deficient in vitamin D, but that figure could be closer to 90%! Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of early death and leads to inflammation and depression. You need at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Low choline intake can cause a fatty liver and problems with memory and cognitive function. You need 550 mg per day, and the best sources are egg yolks and liver.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What an incredible episode with an incredible health hero Dr Sean O'Mara. Dr O'Mara gives a no nonsense, no prisoners-taken masterclass on visceral fat and adipose tissue, and how it's killing you and turning on the “ugly button”. What sets this episode apart is not only Dr O'Mara's knowledge, but his use of incredible visual images to tell the story of visceral fat and how it is creating disease and death. This is one of the most important episodes I've ever done. Dr. Sean O'Mara works with business executives, professional performers and athletes motivated to optimize through innovative techniques of performance enhancement. He was a founder of an innovative medical startup in Minneapolis, MN called Lantu, focusing on health and performance optimization. In 2016, Lantu was awarded a National Science Foundation research grant to reverse chronic disease. Dr. O'Mara and his team used cutting-edge data analytics to glean insights to both identify and leverage innovative biometrics/biomarkers of health, the human genome as well as the microbiome. He has over a decade of experience evaluating and, more importantly, reversing chronic disease. He innovatively provides his clients with practical solutions to optimize their overall appearance, performance, health, and quality of life. No risky pharmaceuticals, hormones, or surgical interventions are needed for better optimizing results.Join us as we explore:Visceral fat, adipose tissue, is any amount healthy, where it comes from , how to get rid of it and how it's the #1 risk most directly causal to cardiovascular disease.Why your face is a picture of your health, especially as you age and how visceral fat and adipose tissues affects everything from hormones to cancer and even your beauty.The number one (by far) most important thing everyone needs to do to get rid of visceral fat, including visual proof of how it can radically change your body composition in less than 6 months!Why the “MRI ends the lie” and is the best tool available to literally see where your visceral fat is hiding and creating 24/7 inflammatory disease.Terrifying photos of young children's visceral fat, and the massive changes to their health and face when the fat is vanquished.Contact:Website: https://drseanomara.comInstagram: @drseanomaraMention:Programs - The Alpha Plan, https://drseanomara.com/plansSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Co-directors Richard Moore and John Doggett Williams invite audiences into the space of pain, discomfort, and body exploration with their searing, curiously tender, and wonderfully life-enriching documentary Stelarc Suspending Disbelief. This occasionally profound experience follows performance artist Stelarc, a Cyprus-born Australian artist who was raised in the suburbs of Melbourne and found a path towards exploring mortality, death, and what it means to be alive through artwork that many might consider extreme or provocative, but for this pain-experiencing audience member, I found his artwork all embracing in its presentation of discomfort and finding peace within that space.Those things, and many more, sit behind this conversation with Richard Moore, recorded ahead of the documentaries screenings at Perth's Revelation Film Festival on 9th and 11th of July, and the Castlemaine Documentary Festival on 4 July 2025.

We go with our gut instincts on this week's standout episode of TrekRanks, breaking down the “Top 5 Visceral Episodes” in Trek. It's all about instinct and raw emotions on this deep dive into the dark recesses of some of Star Trek's most impacting moments and episodes. But hey, we have a lot of fun, too! How could we not with an A list panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Jenn Tifft and Jamie McGregor. This one covers all the bases as both dark and fun! Join us … if you dare! Episode Rundown: Diagnostic Cycle: Where we briefly get into the details of defining the show's specific topic with a definition of “visceral” as instinctive, unreasoning and earthy. Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original “Five words and a hashtag” summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Visceral Episodes. (Or you can record it yourself and just DM us @TrekRanks.com on Bluesky.)

Surgical techniques in gynecology vary widely between surgeons, creating both excitement and frustration for residents trying to learn the "right way" to perform procedures. Howard and guest host Maddie White discuss this and more:• Trocar placement during laparoscopy requires careful consideration of patient factors and potential adhesions• Elevating the abdomen during trocar placement remains standard practice, though definitive evidence on its necessity would require studies of over 100,000 patients• Surgeons should understand power analysis to recognize when studies are underpowered to detect meaningful differences in rare complications• Visceral slide technique using ultrasound can identify adhesions and determine the safest entry point for laparoscopic surgery• Palmer's point may no longer be the safest entry point for many patients given the prevalence of bariatric surgeries• Jain's point (lateral to the umbilicus) may now be statistically safer for many patients with complex surgical histories• Vaginal cuff dehiscence rates are 6-10 times higher with laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy compared to vaginal approaches• The higher dehiscence rate stems from using energy devices for colpotomy rather than cold scalpel techniques• Barbed sutures simplify cuff closure but don't reduce dehiscence rates compared to standard suturing techniques• Surgery consists of "a thousand little things done well" - mastering these micro-skills distinguishes excellent surgeons00:00:00 Surgical Techniques: Excited and Frustrated00:08:00 Elevation During Trocar Placement 00:17:00 Evidence and Power Analysis00:21:35 Visceral Slide Technique00:35:10 Alternative Trocar Entry Points00:40:10 Cuff Closure and Dehiscence Risk00:51:45 Laparoscopic vs Vaginal Colpotomies01:03:00 First Accredited OB-GYN Residency ProgramFollow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn.

The #1 cause of heart disease is not what you think! Find out about the biggest cause of heart disease and what you can do to turn things around. In this video, I'll share some key tips to help reduce your risk of heart problems. 0:00 Introduction: What causes heart disease?0:31 Insulin resistance and heart disease 1:04 Signs of insulin resistance 1:45 What causes insulin resistance?3:57 The root cause of heart disease4:13 How to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease Visceral fat around the heart covers your arteries and heart muscle. Inflammation from this fat goes directly into the heart before any other place in the body!Insulin is a major contributor to visceral fat accumulation around the heart. When insulin is high, your body stores fat, and you gain weight. When it's low, you lose weight, especially visceral fat surrounding the heart. When you have insulin resistance, your insulin receptors no longer accept insulin. If you have insulin resistance, you may notice the following symptoms:•Waist circumference greater than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women•Skin tags or darkened armpits or groin area•High triglycerides or low HDL •Difficulty losing weight•Difficulty going for long periods without a mealInsulin resistance can be caused by high-carb, high-sugar diets, stress, and chronic sleep problems. Seed oil consumption is one of the greatest contributors to insulin resistance. Industrial seed oils are highly processed with high heat and chemicals like hexane. Seed oils remain in your cells for over a year, which can damage the insulin receptor on the surface of the cells. The average person gets 25 to 30 percent of their calories from seed oils!Keto can help reverse insulin resistance, but you must do Healthy Keto® with higher-quality ingredients. Use healthy fats such as butter, tallow, and coconut oil, rather than seed oils. The biggest cause of heart disease is epicardial fat (fat deposits around the heart), which is caused by consuming sugar, starch, and seed oils—the main components of ultra-processed foods. To eliminate epicardial fat and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, there are a few things that you can do:•Eliminate seed oils and replace them with healthy oils•Follow a Healthy Keto diet •Do intermittent fasting and have two meals per day, without snacks•Cold therapy •Consume apple cider vinegar in a glass of water a few times per day•Consume berberine Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
