Podcasts about Weight

Are you constantly being told your labs are "normal" but still don't feel like yourself? In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, we sit down with award-winning journalist and author Meghan Rabbitt to discuss the critical health information women were never taught—and why so many women are falling through the cracks of today's healthcare system.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a specific and often invisible form of exhaustion that hits first responders after they step into leadership: the burnout that comes not from the calls, the danger, or the physical demands — but from the weight of leading people through all of it while still carrying everything yourself. Promotion feels like a reward. But for many first responders, it quietly becomes one of the heaviest burdens they have ever carried — and nobody warned them it was coming.

What does it truly mean to care for pets at their most vulnerable stages of life? In this episode, we talk with Jen Latter, owner of Nanna Jens Services, about her journey from nursing into holistic pet care and how that shapes her approach today. We explore the emotional labor involved in working with senior, disabled, and end-of-life pets, and why boundaries are essential in this deeply personal work. We also discuss how trust is built through consistency, communication, and professionalism. This conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about the responsibility and impact of the care you provide. Main topics: Emotional labor in pet care Caring for senior and disabled pets Building trust through consistency Setting professional boundaries clearly Holistic pet care and Reiki Main takeaway: "Boundaries are essential, especially when working in clients' homes." Boundaries are not a barrier to great service—they're what make great service possible. In pet care, we're invited into people's homes, their routines, and their most vulnerable moments. Without clear boundaries, it's easy for expectations to blur and for burnout to follow. But when you clearly define what you do—and what you don't—you create stability. You protect your energy. And you give your clients confidence in the care you provide. Boundaries don't push clients away. They build trust, clarity, and professionalism. About our guest: Jen Latter is the founder of Nanna Jen Services, an award-recognized holistic in-home pet care business based in Queensland, Australia. With over 50 years of experience caring for animals and a background in nursing, she specializes in senior, disabled, and anxious pets. Jen integrates holistic practices such as animal Reiki and massage into her services to promote calm and well-being. As a solo operator, she is dedicated to providing consistent, one-on-one care that builds deep trust with both pets and their families.

Nobody told you it would feel like this. You prepared for the hard decisions, the difficult conversations, the long hours. You read the books, completed the training, built the skills. You knew leadership would be challenging. What nobody told you was how lonely it would be. In the first episode of The Weight of the Chair series, Tanya Engesether opens a conversation that most leadership podcasts never have — the specific, confusing, hard-to-name loneliness that lives inside leadership. Not the loneliness of having no one around. The loneliness of being surrounded — and still somehow separate. With her signature blend of personal vulnerability, functional health insight, and faith-rooted perspective, Tanya names what leadership loneliness actually is, why it catches high-achieving women so completely off guard, what it does to the body physiologically, and what she has personally learned to do when it hits. Including a visit to one of the most underused stories in leadership content — the prophet Elijah under the juniper tree — and what God's response to his complete depletion reveals about how we are meant to be met in our hardest moments. If you have ever sat in a full room and felt completely alone — this episode was made for you. In This Episode You'll Learn: What makes leadership loneliness different from ordinary loneliness The four specific characteristics of leadership isolation that most leaders never have language for Why the authority of leadership changes relationships in ways that create genuine distance Why leadership loneliness catches high-capacity women especially off guard The story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 — and what God's response to his depletion reveals The clinical picture — what chronic loneliness does to the HPA axis, cortisol, inflammation, immune function, and sleep Why tending to leadership loneliness is not weakness — it is healthcare Tanya's personal strategies for navigating the loneliness of leadership — specific, practical, and honest Why peer relationships are the most clinically and experientially important investment a leader can make What specific prayer looks like versus general prayer — and why it matters Scripture Referenced 1 Kings 19:4–18 — Elijah under the juniper tree 1 Kings 19:7 — "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." 1 Kings 19:18 — "I reserve seven thousand in Israel." Key Takeaway The loneliness of leadership is not evidence that you are doing it wrong. It is evidence that you are carrying something real — something that deserves to be tended rather than pushed through. The God who met a depleted, lonely prophet under a tree is the same God who is with you in the weight of the chair.

What happens when a simple goal to lose weight turns into a running journey that changes how you see yourself, your work, and the people around you?In this episode of Why Did You Start Running?, I sit down with Jeremy Lundmark to talk about how a daily walking habit during the early days of COVID eventually led him into running, endurance events, content creation, and building the Uncredible community.What started as a practical attempt to burn calories and lose weight quickly became something much bigger. We discuss consistency, identity, efficiency, work ethic, social media, authenticity, family, leadership, and why ordinary people are often doing extraordinary things every single day without getting any recognition for it.Jeremy also shares the story behind his Uncredible project, his podcast, Substack, and why he believes regular people deserve a platform to share their experiences.This conversation goes far beyond running and explores what it means to show up, stay curious, and build something meaningful while balancing work, family, and life.Topics Covered:• Why Jeremy started running• Weight loss and habit building• Running during the COVID years• Walk-to-run progression• Half marathon training and endurance running• The concept behind Uncredible• Leadership and workplace culture• Efficiency, problem-solving, and manufacturing• Family, parenting, and personal growth• Social media authenticity• Why regular people deserve a voice• Building community through runningGuest Links:Jeremy's Substack:https://jeremylundmark.substack.com/Jeremy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jeremylundmark/Thank you for listening to Why Did You Start Running?Every runner has a story. Sometimes that story starts with a goal to lose weight. Sometimes it starts with curiosity. Sometimes it starts with simply taking the first step. Jeremy's story is a reminder that ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things when they consistently show up and keep moving forward.

You've lost the weight. Maybe you're still losing it. But when you look in the mirror, you still feel like the same person.Many people call this body dysmorphia. While body dysmorphia is a real clinical condition, many people are actually experiencing something different. They're discovering the gap between changing their body and changing the relationship they have with themselves.In this episode of Body Image Shift, we explore why weight loss doesn't automatically create self-confidence, self-acceptance, or self-love. For years, many of us were taught that changing our appearance would finally make us happy, worthy, or good enough. But when the weight comes off and those feelings remain, we're forced to confront a deeper reality.We discuss why so many people spend years trying to run from previous versions of themselves, how weight loss solves a weight problem but not necessarily a body image problem, and why true healing often begins when we stop trying to escape our past and start appreciating every version of ourselves.You'll also learn a simple mirror exercise that can help you begin rebuilding how you see yourself and why patience, kindness, and self-appreciation are essential parts of changing your body image for the long term.Topics Covered:• Why weight loss doesn't automatically fix body image• The difference between changing your body and changing your self-perception• Why many people still feel the same after losing weight• The connection between body image and self-worth• Appreciating previous versions of yourself• Weight loss versus self-acceptance• The role of emotions in body image• Rebuilding your relationship with yourself• Using mirror work to improve self-perception• Creating a healthier internal dialogueContinue the Body Image Conversation:YLF Livestream:https://yourlevelfitness.com/streamThank you for listening to Body Image Shift.The goal isn't to love yourself once you reach a certain weight. The goal is to appreciate and love yourself at every stage of the journey. When you stop trying to run from previous versions of yourself and start appreciating the person who got you here, everything begins to change.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, " skinny people have it so easy" ? Maybe you're sitting there with your salad while someone else is happily working their way through a burger, fries, and dessert and somehow still looks amazing in their jeans. It can feel pretty unfair. And if we're honest, sometimes that feeling turns into resentment. ​This week on The Thin Thinking Podcast​, we're talking about something most of us have felt but don't always like to admit… skinny people envy. You'll discover why resentment and comparison can strengthen a weight struggler mindset and keep you feeling powerless. You'll also hear why many naturally slim people aren't as carefree around food as they may appear and how getting curious instead of resentful can completely change your relationship with weight loss. The truth is, envy doesn't hurt the people you're comparing yourself to. It hurts you. When you stop measuring your journey against someone else's and start focusing on your own path you create more confidence, self-trust, and momentum. If you've ever felt frustrated by people who seem to have it easier, this episode will help you let go of comparison, reclaim your power, and move forward with a stronger Thin Thinking mindset.

Weight loss changes more than your body. It can change how you see yourself, how others treat you, and the story you tell yourself every day. In today's episode, I'm joined once again by registered dietitian, life coach, and Wellness Cottage co-founder Kim Lovely to talk about the emotional side of weight loss that so many women experience but rarely discuss. From body dysmorphia and identity shifts to navigating comments from others and adjusting to life after GLP-1s, Kim shares powerful insights on how to care for your mind as your body changes.

Everyone's favorite game is back

Everyone wants to know how "bounce back" after having a baby. The truth is, that's not the goal. In this episode, I'm sharing my postpartum fitness plan and the approach I'll be taking during those first weeks and months after birth. Instead of jumping straight into workouts, fat loss, or trying to get my body back as quickly as possible, I'll be prioritizing recovery, sleep, healing, and listening to what my body actually needs. I'll walk you through what my first few weeks postpartum may look like, including why I plan to spend most of the first week resting, when I might begin incorporating light walks and mobility work, and how I'll use my body's feedback, not a rigid timeline, to guide the process. We'll also talk about why pelvic floor health is at the center of my recovery plan and why I believe every woman should consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist before problems arise, not just after. I'll share why I won't be rushing back into intense cardio, despite the pressure many women feel to lose baby weight as quickly as possible. We'll also discuss the truth about waist trainers, why external support can actually delay core recovery, and what a healthier approach to rebuilding strength looks like. Most importantly, I'm talking about something I think every new mom struggles with: comparison. Because no two postpartum journeys are the same, and comparing your recovery, body, or timeline to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to create unnecessary stress and frustration. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about a more sustainable approach to recovery after birth, this episode will give you an honest look at how I'm thinking about this next chapter and why slower may actually be the smarter path forward.   Time Stamps:   (2:11) My Postpartum Fitness Plan (3:22) The Mental Side (9:19) Getting Your Body “Back” (11:20) Comparison In Postpartum (13:32) Sharing The Postpartum Journey --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

What do you want your new normal to be?If you're currently taking a GLP-1 medication, you've probably heard people talk about reduced appetite, fewer thoughts about food, lower energy levels, nausea, and significant weight loss. For many people who have struggled with weight management for years, those changes can feel like a welcome relief.In this episode of Life During and After GLP-1, I explore an important question that often gets overlooked: what do you ultimately want your day-to-day life to look like?We discuss the trade-offs that can come with GLP-1 medications, the importance of thinking beyond short-term weight loss, and why it's worth considering how your energy, strength, activity levels, and overall quality of life fit into the bigger picture.This isn't about telling you whether GLP-1 medications are right or wrong. Those conversations belong between you and your healthcare provider. Instead, this episode is about helping you think critically about the lifestyle you're building and whether it aligns with the life you want to live long-term.Topics Covered:• Defining your new normal• Life during and after GLP-1 medications• Appetite changes and food noise• Energy levels and daily activity• Strength, muscle mass, and performance• Long-term lifestyle considerations• Weight loss versus quality of life• Marketing messages around GLP-1 medications• Building a sustainable active lifestyle• Appreciating yourself at every stage of the journeyLinks Mentioned:Your Level Fitness:https://yourlevelfitness.comJournal Prompts:https://yourlevelfitness.com/emailEmail Daryl:daryl@yourlevelfitness.comThank you for listening to Life During and After GLP-1.My goal isn't to tell you what your journey should look like. My goal is to encourage you to think about the lifestyle you're building, the trade-offs you're making, and the version of normal you ultimately want for yourself. The more intentional you are about those decisions, the more likely you are to create a lifestyle you'll actually want to maintain for the long term.

Is retatrutide, the new triple agonist GLP-1, the next big thing in weight loss (or even rapid fat loss)?That depends on how the drug works, what the results are, the reality between the headlines and the evidence, and what happens to your weight when you stop.This episode breaks down retatrutide, the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon triple agonist behind the largest weight loss numbers ever recorded in this class. It covers the Phase 2 obesity trial and the Phase 3 Triumph results, plus why cross-trial comparisons to semaglutide and tirzepatide deserve skepticism.We examine the body composition data (or lack thereof), and why a bigger number on the scale just amplifies the stakes for muscle mass, weight regain, and the off-ramp. Especially relevant for adults over 40 who are taking, considering, or planning to come off a GLP-1.Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life, including support for lifestyle changes needed while taking GLP-1s (and to come off them if desired).Timestamps:0:00 - Retatrutide and the biggest question for GLP-1 users 3:08 - How this new triple agonist works 4:46 - Phase 2 and Phase 3 weight loss numbers 5:38 - Cross-trial comparisons and their limits 6:23 - Fat, muscle, and what the trial did NOT measure 8:30 - Strength training over 40 and accelerated muscle loss 10:07 - Building the lifestyle (alongside using the drug) 14:10 - Resistance training and protein 16:00 - Rate of loss on a powerful drug like retatrutide 17:30 - The off-ramp when you stop 18:23 - Weight regain and body fat overshooting 22:03 - Retatrutide access and the gray market 24:11 - Bonus: 3-question test to keep your resultsEpisode Mentioned:Sometimes More Is More (The Sedentary Lifter Problem)

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Warrior | The Weight of Sin by Collective Church

Could you have metabolic dysfunction even at a normal weight?This episode challenges everything we've been taught about weight and health. Dr. Cooper reveals that up to 25% of normal-weight people have metabolic syndrome, yet they're rarely screened because doctors assume they're healthy based on appearance alone.KEY TAKEAWAYSWeight and metabolic health are not the same thing - you can be metabolically unhealthy at any sizeNormal weight people with metabolic dysfunction are often overlooked and undertreated by healthcare providersKey screening tests include fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers like HSCRPMetabolic dysfunction can start in your 20s and take decades to develop into serious diseaseBoth normal weight and higher weight patients face bias - normal weight people aren't screened enough, while higher weight people have everything blamed on their weightEarly screening and treatment can prevent catastrophic health outcomes later in lifeThe liver plays a crucial role in metabolism and can become insulin resistant regardless of body weightNOTABLE QUOTE"You cannot tell anything about someone's health from their outside, what they look like or what, even what they're doing necessarily, but definitely not their body size. So you can be healthy or unhealthy at any size body, and I think that's what's overlooked quite a bit." — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: fatsciencepodcast.comCooper Center for Metabolism: coopermetabolic.comResources from Dr. Cooper: coopermetabolic.com/resourcesJoin Our Community: patreon.com/cw/FatSciencePodcastSubmit Your Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comAppendix: Key ReferencesPrimary literature supporting this episode•       Wang et al.

In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, we have an honest conversation about the weight many men carry and why so much of it goes unspoken. From financial pressure and career uncertainty to family responsibilities, mental health struggles, and the fear of letting people down, we discuss the burdens that often stay hidden from the people closest to us. Are we protecting our partners by keeping these things to ourselves, or are we creating distance in the relationships that matter most? The fellas share personal experiences, lessons learned, and the challenges of balancing strength, vulnerability, and responsibility as Black men. We also explore what healthy support looks like and why opening up can sometimes be harder than carrying the weight itself. In our Ask A Black Man segment, we answer the question: How do you open up to your partner when you've spent most of your life handling everything on your own? This is one of our most transparent conversations yet and one that men and women alike can relate to.

If You're a FAN leave me a message :-) But more importantly, let us know what you think, suggestions, topics, constructive criticism... ALL WELCOME!!There is a generation growing up with access to more information than any generation before it, yet many young people are carrying levels of uncertainty, pressure, and future-focused anxiety that previous generations didn't encounter until much later in life.In this powerful episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I explore a hidden reality affecting millions of young people today: the quiet aging of the young. From economic uncertainty and social comparison to AI disruption, climate concerns, and an increasingly unpredictable future, many young adults are carrying tomorrow's weight before they've had the chance to fully experience today.This episode examines why what is often labeled as fragility may actually be the burden of carrying adult-sized concerns at an unusually early age. More importantly, it provides practical tools for reducing overwhelm, regaining perspective, and building a future without sacrificing the present.Whether you're a parent, leader, mentor, educator, or a young person navigating an uncertain world, this conversation offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective on how to carry life's weight without allowing it to define you.Because perhaps the goal isn't to have your entire future figured out, perhaps the goal is simply to build your Tuesday well enough that tomorrow can take care of itself.Special thanks to our sponsor, Doc Marty Mushrooms, supporting focus, resilience, vitality, and mental clarity for people determined to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Listeners receive a 20 % discount on their first purchase, code hidden in the episode.https://www.docmarty.com

After 16 years of teaching internationally and raising a family abroad, Mary McCallion found herself burned out, overwhelmed, and increasingly disconnected from her body. What began as concerns about weight gain and health symptoms eventually led her to discover that the real struggle wasn't food it was years of unresolved grief, stress, fear, and self-doubt. In this powerful conversation, Mary shares how taking a sabbatical from teaching created the space for deeper emotional healing. Through hypnosis, NLP, timeline therapy, and emotional mastery tools, she learned to quiet food noise, rebuild trust with her body, and release the belief that something was "wrong" with her that needed fixing. Mary's story is a reminder that lasting transformation doesn't come from another diet, supplement, or quick fix. It comes from addressing the emotional roots beneath the surface and learning how to approach yourself with compassion instead of fear.

What if the very thing you see as failure is actually creating room for God to do something greater?In this powerful message from the Netflex and Chill series, Pastor Jamal delivers a life-changing word titled “Space Maker,” challenging us to stop viewing our empty places as evidence of God's absence and start seeing them as opportunities for His presence.Using Luke 5 and the story of Simon Peter's empty fishing boat, Pastor Jamal reveals a profound truth: Jesus didn't choose a boat that was full of fish—He chose the empty one.Why?Because empty things have space.Many of us spend our lives trying to avoid disappointment, failure, and seasons of lack. Yet often it is in those very moments that God gains access to areas of our lives we would never have surrendered otherwise. What feels like loss may actually be God creating room for His purpose.This message challenges listeners to examine their “boat”—the areas of life that represent their identity, livelihood, relationships, priorities, routines, and personal control. Have these spaces become so crowded with fear, pride, success, unforgiveness, comfort, and distractions that there is no room left for Jesus?Pastor Jamal powerfully illustrates how even good things can become obstacles when they occupy space that belongs to God. Careers, achievements, reputations, routines, and even family priorities can unintentionally crowd out the presence and authority of Jesus if we're not careful.

There are seasons in a man's life when nothing is technically falling apart... but something still feels heavy. You're still showing up. Still going to work. Still paying bills. Still taking care of your family. Still carrying responsibilities. But beneath the surface, you're wrestling with questions you can't quite explain. In this deeply personal episode of REBUILT, Michael-David opens up about the financial pressures, emotional weight, changing seasons of fatherhood, questions of purpose, and the quiet struggles many men carry but rarely talk about. This isn't some motivational speech or lecture on "7 ways to ...". It's an honest conversation between two men, you and MD, sitting across from each other, talking about what it means to feel lost without being broken, tired without giving up, and uncertain while still moving forward. Michael-David shares insights from coaching men through major life transitions, explores why so many men struggle to sit with their emotions, and discusses how growth often comes through understanding rather than avoidance. MD openly talks about: • Why many men, even himself, can feel overwhelmed but struggle to explain it • The difference between being stuck and being in a season of processing • How financial stress, fatherhood, responsibility, and identity affect men's mental health • Why emotional awareness is a strength, not a weakness • The hidden reason many men isolate when they're struggling • How God often answers our prayers through people and brotherhood • Why sitting with your emotions may be the key to moving forward • How to keep taking the next step when you don't have all the answers This episode also explores Biblical encouragement through Daniel in the lion's den and Isaiah 41, reminding us that God's presence is often found in the middle of the struggle, not just after it. If you're carrying more than you let people see, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the strongest thing a man can do is tell the truth about where he is. REBUILT exists to meet men where they are while helping them move toward who they were created to become. Scripture Referenced: • Isaiah 41:10-13 • Daniel 6 • Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 If this episode resonates with you, share it with another man who may need the reminder that he doesn't have to carry life alone.

What should come first when everything in life feels important? Between bills, responsibilities, and endless decisions, it's easy to let urgency determine our priorities.In this message from Proverbs 3:1–10, Pastor Clayton explores what it really means to "Honor the Lord with your wealth." This isn't a message about getting rich—it's about giving God the first and greatest place in your life. When God becomes the foundation instead of just another priority, everything else begins to align. Through the biblical principle of first fruits, Scripture shows how honoring Jesus first shapes the way we handle our money, our decisions, and our daily lives.If you're wondering how faith should influence your finances or what it looks like to truly put God first, this message is for you.Watch, reflect, and discover what happens when God carries the most weight in your life.

How much of our energy is being spent on things that won't even matter a year from now? In this episode, we talk about the exhausting cycle of overthinking, carrying worries that aren't ours to hold, and forgetting to enjoy the life happening right in front of us. This is a conversation about choosing peace, trusting the journey, and remembering that the best chapters of our lives may still be ahead.

Message by Tim Wheat

In Romans 15:30-33, we encounter a powerful appeal that challenges our understanding of prayer and vulnerability within the body of Christ. The Greek word 'parakaleo' - meaning to urge, appeal, or earnestly request - frames this passage with urgency and importance. What's striking is that the Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament and planted churches throughout the known world, doesn't end this section with requests for money, recognition, or applause. Instead, he asks for something far more valuable: prayer. This reveals a profound truth about spiritual leadership and community - even the most mature believers need the prayer support of others. Paul's request isn't self-centered but gospel-centered; he asks for protection as he returns to Jerusalem (ironically, to the very place where he once persecuted Christians) so he can continue his ministry. This passage invites us to examine our own approach to prayer and community. Are we willing to be vulnerable enough to ask others to pray for us? Do we follow through when someone shares their burdens with us, or do we offer empty promises of 'I'll pray for you' without actually doing it? The call here is to become a people who genuinely bear one another's burdens, who stir up one another to love and good works, and who don't neglect meeting together for mutual encouragement. Prayer isn't meant to be a hyper-spiritual, eloquent performance - it's simply conversation with our Father, who wants to hear from us about everything, including the needs of those around us.**Sermon Notes – Romans 15:30–33 – “An Appeal to Pray”****Text:** Romans 15:30–33  > “I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf…”---### 1. The Weight of “I Appeal to You” (Parakaleō)  - Paul isn't making a casual suggestion; he's urgently calling for attention and response.  - *Parakaleō* = to urge, exhort, strongly request, comfort, encourage.  - Other places Paul “appeals”:   - Romans 12:1–2 – present your bodies as living sacrifices.   - Romans 16:17 – watch out for those who cause divisions.   - 1 Cor 4:16; 16:15; Eph 4:1; 1 Thess 4:1 – walk worthy, imitate Christ, submit to godly leaders.  - Idea: “Look at me. Listen. This really matters.”---### 2. The Specific Appeal: Pray With Me (v. 30–31)  - “Strive together with me in your prayers” – prayer is hard work, shared labor.  - Paul, the great apostle, openly asks for help. No spiritual lone rangers.  - His requests:   - Protection from unbelievers in Judea.   - That his service to Jerusalem would be acceptable.   - That he might come to Rome with joy and be refreshed.  - His prayer is gospel-centered, not comfort-centered: protection **for mission**, not just ease.---### 3. Why This Matters for the Church  **a. Appeal for Prayer**  - Normal Christian life: asking for prayer, not pretending “I'm fine.”  - Requires humility, vulnerability, transparency.**b. Encourage Those Who Ask**  - Don't just say, “I'll pray for you” and walk away.  - Listen, ask wise questions (as appropriate), pray *on the spot* when possible.  - Keep checking in: bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2).**c. Follow Through in Prayer**  - Prayer is simple conversation with the Father, not performance.  - Use reminders, texts, calls; let people know you're praying (Phil 1:3–5).  **d. Pray for Leaders**  - Spiritual leaders (pastors, elders, parents, civil leaders) carry heavy responsibility.  - Like Paul, they need protection, wisdom, clarity, and perseverance.---## Practical Applications1. **Ask for Prayer This Week**    - Tell at least one trusted believer one real struggle and ask them to pray specifically.2. **Pray Immediately**    - When someone shares a need, stop and pray with them right then if at all possible.3. **Create a Prayer List**    - Include: family, church leaders, one hurting friend, one non-Christian, one global need.4. **Gospel-Shape Your Prayers**    - Add: “How does the gospel advance in this situation?” and pray toward that.5. **Commit to Pray for Leaders**    - Choose one leader (church, home, or civic) and pray for them daily for the next week.---## Discussion Questions1. What does Paul's repeated “I appeal to you” reveal about how seriously he takes prayer?  2. Why is it hard for you personally to admit “I'm not okay” and ask for prayer?  3. When have you actually felt “striving together” with someone in prayer? What was that like?  4. How can we as a group move beyond “I'll pray for you” to real follow-through?  5. In what ways are your prayers currently more self-centered than gospel-centered?  6. What specific things should we be praying for our church's leaders right now?

This week, two debut authors received the Women's Prize for Fiction and Non-Fiction, each worth £30,000, respectively. Anita Rani spoke to the two winners, novelist Virginia Evans and Lyse Doucet, known to listeners as the BBC's Chief International Correspondent.The Women's T20 Cricket World Cup has begun. Nuala McGovern talked to Clare Connor, former England women's captain, now the outgoing Managing Director of England Women. Over her 18 years in the job, Clare has overseen the professionalisation of the women's game as well as a big boost in grassroots participation.The government has announced how it is planning to roll out quicker and easier access to educational psychologists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists for SEND families. Nuala spoke to the Schools Minister Georgia Gould and Principal Educational Psychologist for Salford, Claire Jackson, about the upcoming Experts at Hand programme.Last week, Hannah Murray, who played Gilly in Game of Thrones, told Anita that during the final season of the show, the papers wrote she was pregnant - when she wasn't. Hannah said that maybe this was the only acceptable way for a woman in the public eye to gain weight. Following a strong listener response, we discussed if there is a right way to talk about women's weight. Anita was joined by Alex Light, a body confidence activist and author and Dr Dolly Van Tulleken, food policy researcher, policy consultant and visiting researcher at the MRC epidemiologist unit in Cambridge University.Have you ever had one of those moments when life feels so circular that you just can't believe it? A 'once-in-a-lifetime synchronicity' is what the poet Emily Cullen called it when she discovered that a poem she had written seven years ago, inspired by her eight year old son, turned up on the English exam paper he was sitting in Ireland. Anita caught up with Emily and son Lee.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells

You keep showing up for everyone else. Your surviving children, your spouse, your job, the people who never see what you carry. You hand out grace, patience, room to not be okay — to everyone but yourself. In her first episode back, Teresa sits down for an honest, tender conversation about the grace grieving moms give away so freely and almost never keep for themselves. Because here is the truth so many of us live and rarely admit: you cannot give from empty. In this episode, you'll discover... Why the strongest grieving moms are so often the most depleted — and what that strength is quietly costing you Why giving yourself grace is not the same as abandoning the people who still need you What one grieving woman at an empty tomb can show you about being filled back up The verse that says your most emptied-out moment may be the exact place you are held the most If you have forgotten what it feels like to be poured into instead of poured out, this is the gentle place to begin. You are not failing because you are tired. You are carrying something almost no one can see — and the God who is close to the brokenhearted has not stopped tending to you, even now.

What if the most dangerous spiritual practice isn't the one that looks dark and dangerous, but the one that looks peaceful, loving, and full of life? In this profound episode of the Meditation Podcast, we sit down with Tom Snow, a man who has spent 56 years navigating the complex intersections of faith, healing, and spiritual deception. From a terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16 to hearing the audible voice of God and witnessing a miraculous healing that defied medical science, Tom's story is one of radical transformation. We dive deep into the "greatest masquerade" in spiritual history, the difference between religious legalism and a true relationship with the Divine, and how to distinguish the "still small voice" from the many deceptive whispers in the spiritual realm. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to your own sovereignty, Tom's insights offer a roadmap for finding the peace that truly passes understanding.     ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Welcome & Introduction to Tom Snow   1:16 Tom's Story: A terminal liver cancer diagnosis at age 16   2:02 The Weight of Guilt: Believing he caused his mother's cancer   3:15 Visions of Eternity: Seeing life continue without him   4:00 The Audible Voice of God: "I love you" and a promise for the future   5:10 A Brother's Transformation: The gospel message after an LSD trip   6:24 The Chopper and the Hell's Angels: A radical turn toward darkness   8:16 The Grand Canyon Plan: A 16-year-old's plan for revenge and suicide   9:53 The Bubbling Up: Feeling the presence of God for the first time   11:41 The Miraculous Healing: A football-sized tumor melts in 24 hours   13:22 56 Years of Walking: Moving beyond organized religion and denominations   14:35 The Occult's PR Team: Why deception often looks like light   16:13 The "Checkmate the Matrix" Event: Finding solutions in community   25:57 The Names of the Disciples: Roman influence and Hebrew roots   27:11 Neither Jew nor Greek: Spiritual equality in the anointing   29:03 The Denomination Trap: Why 47,000 splits don't equal one bride   30:14 Hollywood vs. Reality: Debunking myths about demons and holy water   36:31 The Peace that Passes Understanding: The ultimate proof of God's presence   43:26 The Asbestos Connection: The tragic story behind Tom's mother's cancer   45:56 The Guilt of the World: Why Tom initially refused to seek help   58:26 The "PayPal" Achievement: How people are bilked for spiritual milestones   60:45 Psychedelics and Ayahuasca: Seeing connections vs. financial exploitation   61:42 Distinguishing the Voices: How to hear the true and living God   65:21 Don't Let Him Win: A powerful prayer for those facing suicidal thoughts   68:42 Nature's Golden Fire: Tom's mission to provide salt-free, sugar-free food   71:31 The 280 Million Americans: Why healthy food is a life-and-death issue   72:40 Where to Find Tom: JustToBeClear.com and his books   73:42 Outro: RoyCoughlan.com and the Meditation Podcast    

Leadership looks powerful from the outside. But behind the scenes, the crown gets heavy. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the isolation that comes with leadership and why every true decision maker has to learn how to carry pressure without needing constant validation. Let's be real… If you expect everyone to understand your decisions… Agree with every hard call… Or appreciate the pressure you are under… You are going to be disappointed. Leadership is not about being liked. It is about protecting the mission. In this episode, you'll learn: Why leadership is not a popularity contest How tough decisions can make you feel misunderstood Why trying to please everyone can destroy the company How emotional resilience helps you carry the weight of responsibility The truth is simple: When you are the CEO… You will have to make decisions that people do not like. You may have to cut budgets. Fire underperformers. Change direction. Protect payroll. Or make a call that nobody else fully understands. That is the weight of the crown. Most people only see the final outcome. They do not see the risk. They do not see the pressure. They do not see the sleepless nights. High-level leaders stop chasing approval. They stand on the vision. They make the hard call. They carry the pressure. And they let the results become the validation. You asked for the throne. Now carry the crown. Lead your people. Protect the mission. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Anita is joined by Alex Light, a body confidence activist and author and Dr Dolly Van Tulleken, food policy researcher, policy consultant and visiting researcher at the MRC epidemiologist unit in Cambridge University. England is hosting the 2026 T20 Women's World Cup this summer, and England and Sri Lanka launch the competition with their match at Edgbaston today. This is the first time that 12 teams will competing for the World Cup trophy – an increase on previous years. Anita talks to Melissa Story, a cricket player for Gloucestershire and a commentator for BBC's Test Match Special, about how the tournament works, the players to watch - and the matches we can't miss.This week the Royal College of Psychiatrists launched its first ever Women's Mental Health Strategy. It was instigated by Dr Lade Smith, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists who chose women's mental health as a key focus when she took up her post three years ago. As Lade steps down from that role, she joins Anita to talk about why she thinks that the women's mental healthcare is in crisis and her vision for improvements.When bride-to-be Kayley Stead was left alone at the altar on her wedding day in 2022, she did what few would think to do - she let the wedding continue. Kayley's photos of enjoying her wedding alone, including the speeches, the first dance and cutting the cake, went viral. Other women congratulated her for celebrating herself and still enjoying the day. Four years on, she's found love again - she's engaged! - and she says she wants her wedding to be "a big party." She joins Anita. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

What if the thing you're trying hardest to hide is already completely known to Allah?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Muhammad Magid to reflect on verses 110–111 of Surah TaHa.These verses shift our attention to two profound realities: Allah's infinite knowledge and humanity's complete humility before Him on the Day of Judgment. Allah knows what came before us, what lies ahead of us, and everything in between—while our own knowledge remains limited and incomplete.Together, Dalia and Imam Magid explore what it means to be truly known by Allah, the power of naming and understanding our experiences, and why the Day of Judgment is ultimately a day of complete exposure, accountability, and justice.In this episode, you will learn:

Andy Holmes carries two titles that rarely appear in the same sentence. He is the Business Development Manager for the Americas at Informed Sport and Informed Choice, the world's largest anti-doping third-party certification organization. He is also the Strength Chaplain at Ottawa University, a role he helped create and one that speaks directly to what he believes coaching is actually for. On this episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, Holmes makes the case that toughness has been misread by athletes and coaches alike, and that the weight room is one of the best places to correct that.The reframe is direct. Fighting is easy. Drinking is easy. Walking away from both, showing up when it is hard, being accountable to something bigger than yourself, that is tough. Holmes builds that framework with a football roster of 150 to 200 players at the NAIA level, players who come from all kinds of backgrounds and often land at Ottawa because something did not work out somewhere else. He is not running a Sunday school class. He is coaching, and the physical demands of training give him a credible platform to say things these athletes have not heard from many men in their lives.Holmes also spends significant time on the supplement safety side of his work. As someone who has spent a decade inside the anti-doping certification world, he has a clear-eyed view of the manufacturing vulnerabilities that put athletes at risk. One in ten non-third-party-tested products contains something that could trigger a failed drug test. NIL has compounded the problem by flooding the market with unvetted brands and unvetted product, and the legal exposure for strength staff and dietitians has grown alongside the money in sports.The two halves of this conversation connect. Whether Holmes is talking about what goes into an athlete's body or what goes into an athlete's mind, the underlying principle is the same: responsibility is not optional, and taking the easy road has a cost.Key TakeawaysToughness is not what most athletes think it is. The easy road is fighting, drinking, and avoiding accountability. The hard road is showing up, doing the work, and being responsible to something beyond yourself.Athletes respond when a coach cares about more than their position on the depth chart. When a player knows their value is not tied to their spot on the roster, they open up. That is where real influence starts.The weight room is a credible platform for hard conversations. The struggle of getting stronger maps directly onto the struggle of growing as a person, and athletes who train hard already understand what it means to earn something.One in ten non-certified supplements contains something that can cause a failed drug test. The manufacturing pipeline is more compromised than most coaches and athletes realize, and the legal exposure for strength staff when something goes wrong has grown significantly.NIL has created a supplement compliance gap most programs are not equipped to handle. Athletes signing deals with unvetted brands and taking untested product are putting their eligibility at risk, and the coaching staff can end up in the lawsuit.Quote"The easy way out is fighting, drinking. A lot of times doing the hard thing is being tough. That's one of the biggest things we try to teach. What does it mean to be tough spiritually as well?" — Andy Holmes

REPLAY! This conversation is too important to hear only once, and Jackie Goldschneider is exactly the reason why. Eating disorder recovery is not about food, and she wants you to understand why.On this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Jackie Goldschneider, author, activist, and Real Housewives of New Jersey former cast member, to talk about something rarely discussed with this level of honesty. Jackie lived with anorexia for nearly two decades before finding her way to health in her mid-forties, and her story is a reminder that eating disorder recovery can happen at any stage of life.Her memoir, The Weight of Beautiful, was born from the experience she wished she'd had when she was searching for answers. She opens up about what it felt like to live inside an illness that nobody around her truly understood, why eating disorders in women so often go unrecognized, and what she wants families to know about eating disorder mental health. Telling someone to just eat does not work, and this conversation explains why.Jackie also reflects on the relationship between mental health and body image, the role compulsive movement played in her disorder, and the moment she finally decided to ask for help. For anyone who has struggled personally or watched someone they love struggle, eating disorder awareness starts with honest conversations like this one.She shares what life looks like now, from friendships and writing, to therapy and learning that good enough is sometimes exactly enough.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Jackie Goldschneider on Eating Disorder Recovery and Advocacy01:28 Weekly Highs With Amy and Jackie03:29 How Anorexia Took Hold and What No One Talked About06:02 What People Get Wrong About Eating Disorder Mental Health08:32 The Rock Bottom Moment That Changed Everything13:00 Going Public on Real Housewives and the Fallout18:00 Writing The Weight of Beautiful and Why It Had to Exist25:00 Eating Disorders in Women and the Silence Around Them32:00 What Recovery Actually Looks Like Day to Day38:00 Beauty Favorites and Product Picks44:00 Quick Beauty Routine46:00 How Jackie Stays Grounded and What Keeps Her GoingConnect with Jackie Goldschneider:Follow Jackie on Instagram Shop this episode: You know we love to give you the best of the best in wellness products and resources to help you learnmore about our podcast topics.

Marty checks in 26 days out from the Gold Coast Marathon to discuss his peak marathon training, achilles niggle, biggest long run yet, fueling plan including sodium loading, race weight, sauna, strength work, and shoe choice.

Marty explains that the run felt hard partly due to early Achilles tightness, which flared after stopping, and he reflects on whether he could have extended the marathon-effort segment closer to 30 km. The conversation covers Marty's confidence around breaking 2:40, his doubts about holding 3:45/km on race day, and his estimate of around a 30% chance if everything comes together. Matt and Marty also discuss his weekly mileage rising toward roughly 160 km, a strong 2 km "on" / 1 km float session, and the mental benefits and drawbacks of group training, Strava comparison, and chasing other runners' sessions. They also talk through Marty's current race weight of around 66.5 kg, his plan to take 100 g of carbohydrates per hour, heavy sodium loading to reduce cramping risk, minimal fluids, and possible beetroot and bicarb trials. Marty shares that he has neglected sauna and strength work since moving but may add heat sessions back in, while Matt and Marty debate sauna protocols, strength training tradeoffs, and whether the Puma FastR is the right race-day shoe despite Achilles concerns.

Reposted from Still Slaying: A Buffy-verse podcast which you can find at Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast | Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV. “Yep. It's not that vampires don't photograph, it's just that they don't photograph *well*.” Penny, Becky and Kara enjoy a trip to 1952 to experience some grade A paranoia in an overtly political episode with a film noir flashback. The conversation ranges from HUAC to iMac laptops and tangents include transparent Y2K tech, inflatable furniture, retro fashion trends, shame, Community, Film Noir tropes, femmes fatale, earworms, New Kids on the Block, Trapper Keepers, What We Do in the Shadows, and friendship. Next time we'll tackle BTVS Season 5, Episode 2, “Real Me.” Keep Slaying!

A lot of women hit their 40s and feel like the rules suddenly changed. The diet that used to work stops working. Weight becomes harder to lose. Energy drops. Sleep gets disrupted. Hormones shift. And most of the advice they're given is either incomplete or misses the root cause entirely. In this Podcast, I sit down with functional nutrition practitioner Dani Conaway to discuss what's really happening beneath the surface. We cover hormone health, metabolism, thyroid function, gut health, fasting, peptide use, and why focusing on symptoms often keeps people stuck. This isn't about chasing shortcuts. It's about understanding the systems that drive health, performance, and body composition so you can make decisions that actually move the needle. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!
