ALSO: Republicans and Democrats both have rugs pulled out from under them as Trump's plants in the FBI Kash Patel and Dan Bongino inform their base that Epstein did in fact kill himself and there's nothing strange about it. Meanwhile, filibusterin' fool Cory Booker becomes the only Democrat voting to confirm convicted blackmailer Charles Kushner (Jared's dad) as ambassador to France, and Democrats find out just how close the New Jersey senator is to the Kushner family.

What if everything you've been told about weight loss is wrong? The story of Sheila Kelty will transform how you think about health and weight management forever. From an electric wheelchair, facing imminent death with lupus, diabetes, and 130 extra pounds—to vibrant health without exercising. This isn't just another weight loss story; it's a complete paradigm shift.The traditional weight loss narrative revolves around willpower, calorie counting, and intense workouts. Yet these approaches often fail us, especially as we age. Sheila reveals why "calories in, calories out" is a fundamentally flawed concept and how high-intensity workouts can actually trigger hormonal responses that cause weight gain. The $76 billion diet industry thrives on our failure—your struggle isn't a willpower issue; it's built into their business model.Sheila's approach focuses on optimizing overall health rather than just attacking symptoms. By addressing the root causes of weight gain—from hormonal imbalances to gut health—the body naturally releases excess weight without deprivation or punishment. This is about creating sustainable lifestyle changes that become effortless over time, not white-knuckling through another temporary diet.Ready to transform your relationship with food, exercise, and your body? The Vibe Reboot Summer Challenge starting May 27th offers a six-week program scientifically designed to help you release 10-15 pounds while addressing the underlying factors that have kept you stuck. Previous participants collectively lost over 100 pounds and 17 feet off their bodies. Don't miss this opportunity to join a supportive community and discover what's truly possible for your health.BioSheila Keilty is a globally recognized Optimal Health Expert with over 10 years of experience and 20,000+ coaching hours dedicated to helping women achieve vibrant health and lasting transformation. A Board-Certified Master Health & Wellness Coach, Gut Microbiome Specialist, and Mindfulness Meditation Instructor, she blends science-backed strategies with compassionate, personalized support.Her journey from chronic illness, wheelchair dependence, and a 130-pound weight loss to sustained wellness is the foundation of her powerful “Reboot Method.” This signature program has helped thousands of women break free from dieting cycles, restore their health, and embrace energy, confidence, and renewed purpose.Sheila's holistic, evidence-based approach continues to inspire women worldwide.

He Was Supposed to Die… But He Found the Real CureIn this eye-opening episode, I sat down with Dane Johnson—a board-certified nutritionist who nearly died from Crohn's disease—to unpack what really causes gut issues, autoimmune flares, and chronic illness. After being wheelchair-bound and told surgery was his only option, Dane chose a different path: healing from the inside out.He shares how environmental toxins, stress, and even our everyday habits damage the gut—and why most diets and supplements won't work until you address the root cause. We dive deep into faith, functional medicine, and the power of ownership in healing. If you've been told there's no way out of your diagnosis, this episode might just change your life.If you liked this episode, watch it on YouTube!

On this podcast there aren't necessarily debates, more often they are off the cuff conversations. You, the listeners, set the questions that your, co-hosts don't see until they start recording. This episode is not an exception to that as there's talk about Stuart's recent appearance on the ProGRESS Podcast, and a thought-provoking reflection questioning whether humanity's progress is driven by rare geniuses, while the rest of us cling to their achievements and grapple with uncomfortable truths about our nature, and opinions.The first of the two listener questions comes from Lucas in Punta Arenas, Chile - “Stuart heard your interview on The ProGRESS Podcast. Where does your drive to be genuine and honest in business come from, do you think? Where do you think your internal drive comes from that you spoke about separately at the end?”From this question, Stuart talks about how his drive to be genuine and honest in business comes from the same place as where the drive to be genuine and honest in personal life. He grew up in a family full of bullshit, distortion, lies, suppression, oppression and belittlement. He doesn't want to be like them.He goes onto spin the question to an environmental slant:  what drives you to care about the environment? And maybe put yourself in the shoes of somebody who is having a negative impact on the environment, and what drives them to do that and to maybe not even care.If you would like to listen to the episodes, here are the links:Part 1Part 2The second question today comes from Bronwen in Atlanta, Georgia, USA - “Are humans really that advanced, or do we rely on the occasional genius to make our species jump, leaving the rest of us merely hanging on to their coattails, and just narcissistic apes? I know some people will deny that we are apes, and they are entitled to their opinion, as am I. It doesn't mean their or my opinion overthrows a point of fact, it's still just their opinion. Are we really advanced if we fool ourselves into thinking we are offended by someone's opinions that differ from ours, when they are really offended by points of fact?”Off the back of Bronwen's question, William feels that we have more geniuses around us, he cites the progress humans have made over the past 200 years.  There's always people out there with interesting minds, and they come up with really interesting ideas.Stuart asks the question: are our evolutionary jumps driven by these geniuses?  When those geniuses make their discoveries, a large volume of the rest of us then jump on that bandwagon. Is that mass movement what makes us have an evolutionary jump, not the genius's actions?Stuart picks up that there are two sides to Bronwen's question, and the core to the second part is that opinion is not fact.  There are facts out there that as far as we understand them to be facts, and people can be offended by someone's unfounded opinion or founded facts, but it's just how you deal with that offense.  You're offended. Deal with it. Process it. Feedback on it, try and improve the situation. Just because you are offended, doesn't mean someone is always being offensive.What do you make of this discussion?

Why is evaporative cooling vital for people who cannot sweat, like those with paraplegia or artificial skin? Learn how smart cooling vests support health and safety in extreme conditions. "Lean more about Nahtlos Duratrode electrodes at https://www.nahtlos.com/" In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and José Näf discuss how evaporative cooling vests support individuals who suffer from heat sensitivity due to medical conditions such as paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, and severe burns. José explains how the loss of sweating ability in these groups can lead to dangerous heat stress and why conventional cooling methods, like ice packs, are not always safe or effective. They also explore the performance of evaporative vests in various humidity levels, with ongoing studies assessing use in places like Dubai and Thailand. From construction sites to clinical recovery, this episode highlights where and how cooling vests are used, including guidelines for wear time and practical use in daily routines. José also shares insights from collaborations with rehabilitation institutions and new testing efforts with artificial skin patients. This conversation offers a rich look into the physiological needs behind cooling innovation and its direct impact on people's quality of life. _______   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

What does freedom look like when you navigate the world on wheels? For Jenna Udenberg, it arrived in the form of a Firefly - an electric attachment that transformed her manual wheelchair into an adventure vehicle capable of tackling trails she'd only viewed longingly from afar.Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age seven and using a wheelchair by eight, Jenna refused to let her mobility challenges define her life's boundaries. From becoming a left-handed trumpet player (despite being told it wasn't possible) to creating adaptive music programs that helped non-verbal students find their voice, her journey exemplifies resilience and creative problem-solving.The pandemic marked a turning point when Jenna left her 19-year teaching career and discovered a new calling as a disability advocate. Through her nonprofit "Above and Beyond With U," she champions the philosophy that true accessibility transcends mere ADA compliance checklists. As she powerfully states, "Nothing for us without us" - accessibility planning must include disabled voices from the very beginning.Our conversation explores how Jenna discovered newfound independence on Minnesota's state park trails, the transformative power of community support, and why her autobiography is titled "Within My Spokes." You'll gain fresh perspective on what adventure truly means and how accessibility benefits everyone.Whether you're disabled, know someone who is, or simply care about creating a more inclusive world, Jenna's insights will change how you think about accessibility in outdoor spaces.

A man was busted by a news reporter scamming people on the streets begging for money as a handicapped person. He isn't handicapped at all. Jamie found a health test where you close your eyes after standing on one leg. If you can't stand for even a few seconds it's not good! Jamie wanted to hang out with someone over the weekend, but was forced to cancel plans. Instead of responding to what she wrote back he said nothing! Is he into her or not?

Navigating mental health crises poses profound challenges for families watching loved ones deteriorate without effective intervention options. This episode sheds light on a powerful yet underutilized legal tool - Section 28 of BC's Mental Health Act, which allows family members and concerned individuals to apply directly for a "warrant of apprehension" when someone exhibits dangerous mental health symptoms.A recent Colwood court judgment outlines exactly how this process works, revealing that applications have increased significantly recently. The warrant enables initial 48-hour detention for proper assessment when someone displays behaviour indicating they may harm themselves or others. We dissect the legal criteria judges consider: reasonable belief in mental disorder, need for treatment, purpose of protection, and inability to proceed voluntarily. This mechanism empowers families who previously felt helpless, though its effectiveness ultimately depends on available treatment facilities and mental health resources.We also examine two significant Court of Appeal decisions with far-reaching implications. First, a dangerous offender designation was upheld for an individual with decades of sexual offending against young boys, illustrating how the justice system handles those deemed to present an unmanageable risk to society. Second, a class action lawsuit against WestJet regarding passengers with disabilities who require multiple seats can proceed despite jurisdictional questions between federal transportation regulations and provincial discrimination laws. This fascinating exploration of "paramountcy" shows how courts attempt to harmonize seemingly conflicting legislation rather than automatically favouring federal authority. Have you encountered situations where knowledge of these legal mechanisms might have helped someone you know? We'd appreciate hearing your experiences.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

What if disability isn't something to "overcome" but a source of wisdom and creativity? Dr. Amy Kenny flips the script on ableism with humor and insight, showing how disability appears throughout scripture and nature—not as punishment but as divine design. From God's "wheelchair" in Ezekiel to Jesus keeping his scars after resurrection, she reveals how accessibility isn't charity—it's justice. Whether you're disabled, know someone who is, or just want to build more inclusive communities, this talk offers practical wisdom for seeing the sacred in all bodies.

A bill that would crack down on restaurant reservation apps is making its way through the Louisiana Legislature and could soon pass in the House. The bill would ban certain apps from arranging reservations without explicit contracts with restaurants. Reporter Wesley Mueller discussed this with Greg LaRose, host of the new podcast, “Light Switch,” from the Louisiana Illuminator. This past Monday, athletes gathered for the 139th Boston Marathon, which also marked 50 years since Bob Hall became the first wheelchair user to complete the course, which soon ushered in a wave of wheelchair racing at marathons.And this past weekend, another racer raised the bar.  Brian Marelo, 15, won first place in the wheelchair racing division of the Crescent City Classic. He joins us along with his mother Gwenn Marelo, board president of the Spina Bida Foundation of Louisiana, to talk about  his racing journey and opportunities for adaptive sports in the state.The New Orleans' Jazz and Heritage Festival is upon us, and this Saturday, hip hop legend and NOLA native Lil Wayne will take the main stage with The Roots for the first time at the festival.
