If You Want To Have a Successful Breastfeeding Journey, You Should: Surround yourself with supportive and knowledgeable professionals to help you Let your baby control how much they are eating Be mindful and prepared for the barriers you will face Create a journey that works for you and your baby   Breastfeeding has been a taboo subject for decades too long. Normalizing breastfeeding will make it easier for mamas to seek out support while struggling and not shame mamas for doing the best they can. Getting real about the barriers you will face as a new mom and the benefits of this amazing time is key to opening up the conversation and shining a light on your breastfeeding journey.   The Breastfeeding Doc: Dr. Steph Libs Dr. Stephanie Libs is a pediatric and prenatal chiropractor in San Diego. After her own breastfeeding struggles, along with so many families in her office struggling, she quickly has become the “breastfeeding doc.” Dr. Steph is my go-to lactation consultant who personally helped me on my breastfeeding journey with Kingston. She's been published in magazines, submitted case studies for peer-review publication, and hosts continuing education workshops and chiro philosophy meetings.   The System Was Designed to Fail It is probably not your fault if you didn't get to breastfeed as you wanted to or are worried about something going wrong on the breastfeeding journey. The system was designed to under-support women and has become so medicalized that we genetically forget how to give birth. You did not fail your child if things went wrong. You just need experts like Dr. Steph to get to the root cause of latch concerns and be better supported through this journey.   Empower Yourself With the Knowledge You Need Everyone's breastfeeding journey is different. While Dr. Steph recommends breastfeeding for as long as you can, not everyone can do that. This is why Dr. Steph provides recommendations such as when to introduce solid foods, how to set yourself up for a better breastfeeding experience before you even give birth, and tips to leave your baby in control of how much they eat.  As women, we deserve better than what the medical field provides for us. It is time to take back control of breastfeeding so that you can find an easier and less stressful way to be with your new baby. Where are you on your breastfeeding journey? Let me know what you need support with on the comment section of the episode page!   Quotes: “Very often we are led down these paths by our providers, and we are not given full information or full support or informed consent. And very often we are just given straight-up bad information.” (9:22) “When it comes to feeding our kids, I really like to let them lead the way… our bodies are so magical, and they are designed so perfectly, babies will find their rhythm. They will take exactly what they need.” (24:24) “Instead of supporting universal childcare or supporting women going back to work, what if we supported moms and had some sort of paid family leave that was for a year and kept moms home so they could breastfeed their babies? We know that that would lead to long-term healthier outcomes and less chronic diseases as adults.” (29:42) “There are so many barriers that we face. I think the whole system needs a revamp.” (32:16) “I can't tell you how many babies we see where most of the time their breastfeeding issue is just from a bad latch. Helping to fix the latch can make things go so much smoother and lead to a successful breastfeeding journey that lasts as long as you want it to.” (42:46)   In This Episode Why breastfeeding being seen as a taboo topic is doing a disservice to women (11:25) Which age most women stop breastfeeding and when to introduce solid foods (20:28) The connection between feminism and breastfeeding (28:40) Breastfeeding barriers to be mindful of during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery (34:25) Positive outcomes that come from breastfeeding for as long as you can (41:30)   Resources Mentioned: Must-Have Tips for Breastfeeding Guide Cafe of Life Website Dr. Steph Libs Website Follow Dr. Steph on Instagram   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes:  Essentially You Episode #227: What I Did to Get Pregnant at 40

His loss was also his gain … When Dr. Brian Keating was 12 years old, he became entranced by our awe-inspiring universe. Since then, he's become a distinguished professor, writer and cosmologist. And while he may have lost the Nobel Prize, he gained both knowledge and wisdom — a winning formula for a successful life on Earth. Dr. Keating discusses faith, the origin of the universe and his award-winning book with host Charles Mizrahi. Topics Discussed: • An Introduction to Brian Keating (00:00:00) • Replicating Discovery (00:04:41) • The Origins of the Universe (00:09:43) • Galileo's Contribution (00:14:40) • The Big Bang (00:20:32) • Science and Faith (00:29:00) • History of the Nobel Prize (00:33:41) • Wrestling with God (00:42:44) • Pascal's Wager (00:48:24) • Proof of God (00:57:10) Guest Bio: Dr. Brian Keating is a professor, podcaster, inventor and author. When he first peered into the cosmos through a $50-dollar telescope, he was completely blown away. And over the next 30 years, that wonder never faded. It drove him to begin a career in physics and cosmology — studying how and why our universe came to be. It even led him to develop the mother of all cosmology telescopes. While Dr. Keating lost the Nobel Prize in 2014, he didn't let that curb his curiosity and drive to understand our existence.

While Dr. Piper is on vacation we are re-sharing some of the listeners' favorite episodes thus far in 2021. Today we are going back to Episode 228 When You Fixate on Race, You're Going to Get More Racism, Not Less. Have a blessed 4th of July weekend!

While Dr. Venus is very clear that the federal holiday of Juneteenth is a symbolic victory, she feels it has no direct impact on the quality of life of Black people. Knowing that, why are Black People, but specifically Black Women, SO ok with accepting so very very little? Why are we so okay with accepting scraps that we are thankful that White people or the government or Senate would give us a holiday to BBQ, but not pass the laws that would stop the police from killing us?   Dr. Venus has MANY followers who are thankful for Juneteenth becoming a Federal Holiday, and has received numerous comments on her platforms chiding her for not being grateful for this step in the “right direction.” In this episode, she passionately explains the historical wound behind why we want approval, and why she isn't celebrating just yet.   Warning: This is a rant. Dr. Venus goes ALL THE WAY in on this one. It's real, raw, and unapologetic. If you are easily offended, you are advised to NOT watch this video. You have been warned.   Key Takeaways: [2:30] Dr. Venus makes it clear that she is proud of us for Juneteenth and this is NOT a slam. She is thankful for recognition but dissatisfied with the lack of true change. While it may be a step in the right direction, we have been stepping for 400 years. [3:44] We may feel that White validation equals something, but in fact, it has given us nothing. They make money off our pain, and Juneteenth will be no different. They will capitalize on it and monetize it, all the while trying to pass it off as a holiday. But we can't talk about the Tulsa Race Riots or Critical Race Theory in schools, and many of the people celebrating Juneteenth don't even know what or why they are celebrating. [6:40] You need to be aware when they are pulling your strings. If we are so excited about a day off and symbolic gestures, then they can say “we gave you Juneteenth, what more do you want?” What Dr. Venus wants is real change, including police reform as one example. Dr. Venus isn't even mad at White people doing what is in their self-interest anymore. She thinks of it as an occupational hazard. What we aren't going to do is pretend it's a good thing when it didn't do anything we currently requested. [9:33] Our acceptance and gratitude are signals and signs to them that we are not to be taken seriously when they can buy us off with a BBQ or a parade. They will commercialize and monetize our pain, and our ancestors worked too hard and sacrificed too much to let that happen. [12:54] You are powerful and when you settle for crumbs you literally are not standing for your power. [13:24] Dr. Venus feels livid because if we can't talk about oppression, slavery, and Critical Race Theory in public schools — why are we celebrating? Black people have been so indoctrinated that White is right that our validation comes from thinking their approval and inclusion actually means something. [15:37] Until you get that fire in your belly, you will be used. Your voice matters, your vote matters, and that is the truth. [20:01] More Black Men can see that it's about business. Black Men, say it in love to your sisters and don't hurt their feelings and pride. Until we build our own infrastructure, we will continue looking for approval and trading our hours for dollars for what we do rather than what we know. That is one of the changes Dr. Venus will be creating with her tech startup.   Quotes: “We are worth more. It may feel like a victory, but it's false.” “When you settle for crumbs, you literally are not standing for your power.” “It is a signal and sign to them that we are not to be taken seriously when they can buy us off with a BBQ or a parade.” “Until you get to that fire in your belly that you are not going to be used, taken advantage of, you will be used.” “Until you stand up, you will fall for anything.” “Show me the money, don't talk to me about a cookout.”   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

In Getting to the Heart of Science Communication (Island Press, 2021), Dr. Faith Kearns unpacks science communication as so much more than the “sage from the stage” perspective. Dr. Kearns, through decades of experience and countless interviews, writes to further a conversation for best practices and necessary training for science communication practitioners. In this interview, we discuss the past, present, and future of science communication. We dig into Part II of the book, The Tools of Science Communication, which for those newer to the field or practice, might be shocked to hear has little to do with speaking. Instead, we talk about relating, listening, conflict, and trauma. While Dr. Kearns is clear this book is not intended to be a final word on the topic, it does force readers to think about how the sciences might adopt training from other fields. We finish our talk with an unanswered question – how do trained generalists fit into the expertise-focused world of science? Learn more about your ad choices.

We're not talking about hell, we're talking about the great state of West Virginia. That's right Jon was put forth into this world from good ol' West Virginia. In fact we're pretty sure Isaiah might be my grandpappy.  For those of you that are from out of the country or from the US and don't know much about West Virginia, we're gonna talk about the history of West Virginia and then get into the creepy!    The area now known as West Virginia was a favorite hunting ground of numerous Native American peoples before the arrival of European settlers. Many ancient earthen mounds constructed by various mound builder cultures survive, especially in the areas of Moundsville, South Charleston, and Romney. The artifacts uncovered in these give evidence of a village society having a tribal trade system culture that practiced the cold working of copper to a limited extent. As of 2009, over 12,500 archaeological sites have been documented in West Virginia. The Adena provided the greatest cultural influence in the state. For practical purposes, the Adena is the Early Woodland period From the years of about 1000 B.C. to about 1 A.D. according to West Virginia University's Dr. Edward V. McMichael.    In 1671, General Abraham Wood, at the direction of Royal Governor William Berkeley of the Virginia Colony, sent the party of Thomas Batts and Robert Fallum into the West Virginia area. During this expedition the pair followed the New River and discovered Kanawha Falls.   The Treaty of Albany, 1722, designated the Blue Ridge Mountains as the western boundary of white settlement, and recognized Iroquois rights on the west side of the ridge, including all of West Virginia. The Iroquois made little effort to settle these parts, but nonetheless claimed them as their hunting ground, as did other tribes, notably the Shawnee and Cherokee. Soon after this, white settlers began moving into the Greater Shenandoah-Potomac Valley making up the entire eastern portion of the State and just fucking everything up for everyone one. They found it largely unoccupied, apart from Tuscaroras who had lately moved into the area around Martinsburg, WV, some Shawnee villages in the region around Moorefield, WV and Winchester, VA, and frequent passing bands of "Northern Indians" (Lenape from New Jersey) and "Southern Indians" (Catawba from South Carolina) who were engaged in a bitter long-distance war, using the Valley as a battleground.   Orange County, Virginia was formed in 1734. It included all areas west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, constituting all of present West Virginia. However, in 1736 the Iroquois Six Nations protested Virginia's colonization beyond the demarcated Blue Ridge, and a skirmish was fought in 1743. The Iroquois were on the point of threatening all-out war against the Virginia Colony over the "Cohongoruton lands", which would have been destructive and devastating, when Governor Gooch bought out their claim for 400 pounds at the Treaty of Lancaster (1744).   During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, a growing demand for beaver sent trappers up and down the Kanawha region's tributary creeks by canoe and raft. Trading posts were established at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers at Point Pleasant, West Virginia where, in the mid 1780s, Daniel Boone resided for several years. Likewise, St. Albans, West Virginia, at the confluence of the Kanawha and Coal Rivers, became a point of trade. In the late 18th century, the steel trap increased efficiency, and beaver became scarce. A shift to exporting the state's other natural resources began. Kanawha salt production followed by coal and timber could be seen on the waterways.The logging industry furthered the river shipping industry. A horse-drawn logging "tram" with a special block & tackle for hill-side harvesting was brought into use, allowing expansion of Crooked Creek and the opening of a wooden barrel plant at the creek's mouth. In the 1880s, this tram and other steam machinery were used for collecting timber used as railroad ties in the railway construction along the Kanawha river. Railroad spurs were built throughout West Virginia, connecting mines to the riverboats, barges and coal-tipples.   In 1861, as the United States itself became massively divided over slavery, leading to the American Civil War (1861–1865), the western regions of Virginia split with the eastern portion politically, and the two were never reconciled as a single state again. In 1863, the western region was admitted to the Union as a new separate state, initially planned to be called the State of Kanawha, but ultimately named West Virginia.   When the First Wheeling Convention met, 425 delegates from 25 counties were present, but a division of sentiment soon arose. Some delegates favored the immediate formation of a new state, while others argued that, as Virginia's secession had not yet been ratified or become effective, such action would constitute revolution against the United States.[16] It was decided that if the ordinance were adopted (of which there was little doubt) another convention including the members-elect of the legislature should meet at Wheeling in June 1861. Even before the American Civil War, counties in northwest Virginia had desired to break away from Virginia to form a new state. However, the federal Constitution did not allow a new state to be created out of an existing state unless the existing state gave its consent. Soon after the Union government declared that the Restored Government was the legitimate government of the Commonwealth, the Restored Government asserted its authority to give such approval. It authorized the creation of the State of Kanawha, consisting of most of the counties that now comprise West Virginia. A little over one month later, Kanawha was renamed West Virginia. The Wheeling Convention, which had taken a recess until August 6, 1861, reassembled on August 20, 1861, and called for a popular vote on the formation of a new state and for a convention to frame a constitution if the vote should be favorable. In the election held on October 24, 1861, 18,408 votes were cast for the new state and only 781 against. At this time, West Virginia had nearly 70,000 qualified voters, and the May 23, 1861 vote to secede had drawn nearly 54,000 voters. At first the Wheeling politicians controlled only a small part of West Virginia. However Federal forces soon drove the Confederates out of most of West Virginia. On May 13, 1862, the state legislature of the reorganized government approved the formation of the new state. An application for admission to the Union was made to Congress. On December 31, 1862, an enabling act was approved by President Lincoln, admitting West Virginia on the condition that a provision for the gradual abolition of slavery be inserted in the Constitution. President Lincoln issued a proclamation admitting the state at the end of 60 days, on June 20, 1863. Meanwhile, officers for the new state were chosen, and Governor Pierpont moved the Restored Government to Alexandria from which he asserted jurisdiction over the counties of Virginia within the Federal lines.  In recent years, there has been serious talk about the possibility of certain counties in the Eastern Panhandle rejoining the Commonwealth of Virginia. Frustrated by bad economic conditions and what they perceive to be neglect from the Charleston government, this movement has gained at least some momentum. In 2011, West Virginia state delegate Larry Kump sponsored legislation to allow Morgan, Berkeley, and Jefferson counties to rejoin Virginia by popular vote.                  So there's a somewhat abbreviated history of west Virginia and it's formation.  I know it may not seem abbreviated but there's a long history to the area and we wanted to hit the big points to keep our passengers better informed! So with the history of the region told… Let's get into why we are all here… The creepy shit!!!   Our first stop on the creepy West Virginia tour starts at a place of much fun and enjoyment, an amusement park! Well, what used to be an amusement park anyway. We are heading to Mercer county and a visit to Lake Shawnee Amusement park.  The southern West Virginia park was abandoned in 1966, after the accidental deaths of two of its young patrons. But it seems Lake Shawnee's haunted history reaches much farther back. Mercer County was home to a Native American tribe until 1783, when a European family's attempt to settle the land sparked a violent turf war. The patriarch of the family was a farmer named Mitchell Clay, according to the Wyoming County Report. While he was out hunting, a band of Native Americans reportedly killed his youngest son, Bartley Clay. A daughter, Tabitha, was knifed to death in the struggle. Eldest son Ezekial was kidnapped and burned at the stake. Mitchell Clay enlisted the help of other white settlers to seek vengeance for his family. After burying his children, he murdered several of the Native Americans. Centuries later, in the 1920s, a businessman named Conley T. Snidow purchased the site of the Clay farm and developed it into an amusement park. He built a swing set, a ferris wheel, a water slide, a dance hall, and a speakeasy. He also added a pond and swimming hole, complete with canoes.A little girl in a pink ruffled dress met her end after climbing into the circling swing set. She was killed after a truck backed into the path of the swing. Another little one, this time a boy, drowned in the amusement park's swimming pond. According to Visit West Virginia, the park's rides were responsible for a total of six deaths. The park eventually shut down, but its structures were left to rot and rust. After 20 years, another businessman approached Lake Shawnee. Gaylord White thought the sleepy meadows seemed ideal for future neighborhoods. But, as construction crews tore into grass and soil, they unearthed bones and Native American artifacts.   It turned out the amusement park sat atop an ancient burial ground. And most of the skeletons belonged to children. Archaeologists believe the remains had been there long before settlers moved west. So with that history in mind is it any wonder Lake Shawnee ranks as one of the Travel Channel's “Most Terrifying Places in America.” ABC goes even further. Their experts declared the property one of the “10 Most Haunted Places in the World.” So what kind of stuff happens here? Well, let's find out. There is no shortage of strange stories coming from visitors like people getting horrible vibes, seeing ghosts, or feeling the presence of evil spirits. Scariest Places on Earth filmed there in 2005. However, none of the psychics would work on the property at night, claiming that the energy was so dark it was making them sick. Swimming is no longer allowed on the property but, of course, there are still those idiots that try it anyways. Many reports day that while attempting to swim it felt as if someone, or something, was trying to pull the people down into the water and drown them. There are tons of reports of seeing the ghost of a little girl playing on the old swings. Most people agree that it must be the ghost of the little girl in the pink dress. There are also reports of people seeing ghostly children playing by the ferris wheel. Some report the sounds of children laughing or Natives chanting. And then there Moody's favorite, the conversion stand food! Well not exactly, there's no conversion stand anymore but people have stated that they can still smell the concession stand foods aroma in the air. Then there are the shadowy figures that many will say they are on the old ferris wheel and swing rides still adorning the park. When the Discovery Channel filmed, Chris White, descendant of Gaylord White, says one of its investigators got stuck in the old ticket booth and went into such a panic she had to go to the hospital in Princeton. “She couldn't get out and she was yelling for help,” he said.   “It was a push door and she was pushing.”   White won't speak of any personal “creepy” Lake Shawnee experiences. He does, however, say his father had an encounter with the little girl who lost her life on the swings 49 years ago.   “Dad was on the tractor mowing the field and he kept feeling a weight on his shoulders,” White said. “He didn't know what it was, so one day he felt the weight and he turned around and the little girl from the swings was there. She was in a ruffled dress and she just appeared. He wasn't scared, but the only thing he could think of was, ‘Well, if you like this tractor so much, I'm going to give it to you.'   “So he got off of it and left it sitting there. It's still sitting where he left it in the late ‘90s.”    Creepy shit for sure!   So where to next you ask? Well, how about the Silver Run Tunnel #19 near Cairo WV. Silver Run Tunnel is located along the North Bend Rail Trail. Before the Civil War, the Rail Trail was–as the name implies–a railroad. According to West Virginia State Parks, the railroad was sold in the '80s, and construction of the recreation trail as it now began. The trail stretches 72 miles and has 10 tunnels. The tunnel in this legend is also known as Tunnel #19. According to BridgeHunter.com, the tunnel is 1,376 feet long. Locals say that the tunnel is almost permanently damp and foggy. The tunnel is home to the legend of the lady in the white dress. The legend of the lady in the white dress goes that she was a bride who was riding on a train with her groom, and either she was pushed or fell from the train and died.   One early account guess as follows: In 1910, a young engineer was making the 169 mile midnight westbound express run along the Baltimore and Ohio tracks starting in Grafton and heading toward Clarksburg and then, Parkersburg. When the engineer came upon the short stretch of railway at the entrance to Tunnel #19, in the light of the moon and headlights, he saw a woman in a pale dress with raven-colored hair and golden slippers walking along the tracks. Horrified he would hit her, he tried desperately to stop the train by throwing the brakes into emergency. He could not stop in time.   The engineer would later report to watchmen at the Smithburg Tunnel about 36 miles west that he and the fireman jumped from the train, but a layer of fog on the tracks seemed to swallow up the pale lady. Crazy shit!    “And there's a saying that goes along with the tunnel. If you watch the trains, and the train slows down, they see the ghost, and the engineer has never seen the white lady before, but if the engineer just barrels on through the tunnel, he has had an experience with the ghost, and he's not going to take it anymore,” explained Jason Burns, a West Virginia storyteller, “Because the ghost has a habit of standing in the tracks, and when the train stops to check if it has run over somebody, there is no one there. So the engineer gets ticked off that he has stopped his train for this person who is obviously a ghost, and so they would just barrel through the tunnel as fast as they can next time, so they don't have to worry about it.” In one particular instance, an engineer stopped his train a few times, thinking he might have run over somebody. Like the other engineers, the man decided to go quickly through the tunnel to avoid falling for her trick again.   “Well, on the way to the next town, usually there's people waving at the trains along the tracks anyways at this time period, but he starts noticing that there was an inordinately large amount of people following his train, and some of them are on horseback, and some of them were yelling and waving crazily,” said Burns, “When he finally gets to the town, Proper, and stops his train, there's this group of people that has literally followed him most of the way down the train tracks, and they're like, ‘Where is she?' and he's like, ‘Where is who?' and they said, ‘The lady,' and he was like, ‘What lady?' and they said, ‘The lady in the white dress,' and he said, ‘you mean the ghost back in the tunnel?' They said, ‘No, the ghost that was riding your cow catcher for the past two and a half miles.' Apparently, the ghost had a sense of humor because she was allegedly sitting on the cowcatcher of the train, and if people were standing by watching the train go past, she was waving at them.”   And now for something completely different… Except for not! We're gonna stick with tunnels and head to Dingess tunnel! Dingess is an unincorporated community in Mingo County, West Virginia. The community was named after William Anderson Dingess, a pioneer settler. As of 1894, Dingess contained two hotels, eight boarding houses, four restaurants, four groceries, four sawmills, and a school with two teachers and about 100 students. 133 coal miners lived in Dingess. The community once garnered a reputation for being a lawless land. From 1900 to 1972, approximately seventeen lawmen were shot to death in the area which stretches fifteen miles along Twelve Pole Creek. The Dingess Tunnel was built in 1892 for the Norfolk and Western Railroad, largely by African American and Chinese immigrant workers. Legend has it that residents of Dingess, who didn't take kindly to outsiders, used to hide in the hills just outside the tunnel and shoot any dark skinned passengers aboard the train, according to internet reports. No records were kept but it's estimated that hundreds of black and Chinese workers died. In addition to the murders, workers also died during construction, and at least two trains collided on the tracks there, causing more deaths. These crimes and accidents still haunt the area and earned the tunnel its terrible nickname: "Bloody Mingo." The dark history of the tunnel loaned itself well to macabre tales told during Halloween. Eventually, the stories grew, and the celebrations turned horrific. Almost as if the area proved once again to be untamable, the youths of the town took to mischief. They would spend Halloween night building bonfires in the middle of the tunnel. With the smoke pouring out, the town itself was virtually blocked off from outside assistance. The tunnel served to keep the residents locked in for the night. From there, the nightmare continued. There would be rocks thrown through windows, buildings and vehicles set on fire, and other acts of damaging mischief. The dirty deeds would carry on throughout the night, but by the following day, things returned to normal. It was like a real life “Purge” movie. In recent years this activity has for the most part gone away, but many of the locals still tell stories of those horrific nights. Sabrina Daniels, known locally as the “Mountain Medium,” and a host of others interested in the paranormal happenings at the tunnel including the “Relate with Nate” television crew, a local news show, hoped to make contact with that energy during a recent investigation at the infamous 3,327-foot tunnel. Countless times they entered in, both on foot and in vehicles, to the dark, dank, stone tube cut through the hill. Countless times they called on the spirits within to make them aware of their presence as they dealt with leaking water and enhanced echoing of even the quietest voice. And, if the evidence is any indication, countless times they were successful.  “I can feel the emotions of the souls here,” Daniels  said while taking a break between one of the many trips in and out of the tunnel on the night of the ghost hunt. “I feel sadness, but I felt peace with them. I didn't feel any doom or anything, except in the middle (of the tunnel). What I felt there wasn't anything that has tasted life. There's a difference there. I've always felt the negative energy through the middle.” since things went down that they claim were paranormal. A light flickered, then came on and shut off, seemingly by itself here. Strange audio picked up through the wireless mics there. The sound of a train whistle, although no railroad line is anywhere in the immediate vicinity, echoed through its expanse. Eerie images caught on photos taken within the tunnel's claustrophobic walls showing what appear to be flames rising up from beneath. What appeared to be shadows of workmen, perhaps even the image of a lantern in what could be construed as the window of a train show up in the far distance. As the crew nears the tunnel's midsection, all notice an extreme and sudden drop in temperature, a tell-tale sign of the presence of poltergeists, or what the locals refer to as “haints.” So yea another creepy tunnel. I guess it makes sense there are a bunch of creepy haunted tunnels given the fact that there are mountains everywhere in WV.   Next up is a bird… It's a plane...it's a uh...UFO? We are talking about the Flatwoods monster! The encounter made the local and national news, scaring a wider swath of people. Then it prompted a U.S. Air Force UFO inquiry, part of a project called Project Blue Book that dispatched a handful of investigators around the country to look into such claims. The May brothers Ed, 13, and Freddie, 12, had been playing in their schoolyard with their 10-year-old friend Tommy Hyer. After noticing a pulsing red light streak across the sky and crash on a nearby farm, the three youngsters ran to grab the Mays boys' mother, then high-tailed it up that hill to check out where the light had landed. A few other boys, one with a dog, showed up too.   They ran back down—in sheer and credible terror.    “Seven Braxton County residents on Saturday reported seeing a 10-foot Frankenstein-like monster in the hills above Flatwoods,” a local newspaper reported afterward. “A National Guard member, [17-year-old] Gene Lemon, was leading the group when he saw what appeared to be a pair of bright eyes in a tree.”   Lemon screamed and fell backward, the news account said, “when he saw a 10-foot monster with a blood-red body and a green face that seemed to glow.” It may have had claws for hands. It was hard to tell because of the dense mist. Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall "man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape". The group said they had smelled a "pungent mist" and some later said they were nauseated.    “Those people were the most scared people I've ever seen,” said local newspaper publisher A. Lee Stewart, in that 1952 news story. Stewart himself had marched up that hill with a shotgun after witnesses told what they saw. “People don't make up that kind of story that quickly,” Stewart said then.   According to UFO writer Gray Barker's account, the next day, A. Lee Stewart, Jr. of the Braxton Democrat claimed to discover "skid marks" in the field and an "odd, gummy deposit" which were subsequently attributed by UFO enthusiast groups as evidence of a "saucer" landing.   After investigating the case in 2000, Joe Nickell of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry concluded that the bright light in the sky reported by the witnesses on September 12 was most likely a meteor, that the pulsating red light was likely an aircraft navigation/hazard beacon, and that the creature described by witnesses closely resembled an owl. Nickell suggested that witnesses' perceptions were distorted by their heightened state of anxiety. Nickell's conclusions are shared by a number of other investigators, including those of the Air Force.    Fuck that… It was a UFO and an alien. We all know this! In celebration of the legend, the Braxton County Convention and Visitors Bureau built a series of five tall chairs in the shape of the monster to serve as landmarks and visitor attractions. The town of Sutton also houses a museum dedicated to the monster legend and offers promotional merchandise.    Now you're gonna need some place to stay while checking out all these creepy things… So why not a creepy hotel? How about the Glen Ferris Inn? The Glen Ferris Inn began its life in 1839 when Andrew Stockton received a license to operate a "common room" to cater to the stagecoach traffic through the area.  Prior to that year, the site probably contained a home as early as 1810, which at some point partially burned, and was reconstructed as Stockton's Inn.   In 1853, the common room expanded into what is now the Glen Ferris Inn.  During the Civil War, soldiers from both sides stayed at the inn, as did two future presidents of the United States.  It is rumored that the home even served as a makeshift Civil War hospital between 1863 and 1865.   After the war, aluminum production began in the area, and Union Carbide purchased the inn, expanding it with a 10 room wing in 1929.  Additions were built in the 1960s and again in the 1980s, before a local family purchased the inn from Elkem Metals in 1996.    The inn is thought to be haunted by a ghost of a Confederate soldier with a long beard, nicknamed The Colonel. He is a friendly and playful ghost, known to close doors behind people, make the birdbath water bubbly and frothy, and walk around with audible footsteps. His apparition has been seen from the waist up.   In 2018, a young couple stayed several days there and planned to have breakfast with the day manager when they were departing. The manager was told by the desk clerk that the couple departed in haste at 4:30 that morning and left an apology for missing the planned breakfast. The reason?   They had awakened in the night and saw a man with a long beard who was wearing what appeared to be a uniform sitting in a chair across the room.   Another story we found goes as follows: " I have worked there in the past (2002) and it was one of the experiences that I had that caused me to quit on the spot. I was a waitress in the dining room and it was around 7:30pm. There was no one in the dining area when I first looked but all of a sudden a little boy in a grey civil war type suit was sitting at one of the tables. I walked over to him and asked him if he was waiting for someone and he shook his head no. I asked if I could get him something and he said in almost a whisper "chocolate milk, ma'am" I walked into the kitchen and got his milk, brought it back to the table and he was gone. I asked the cook if he had seen anyone come in and he said that he didn't, so I then went up front and asked the desk clerk if she seen anyone and she said no as well. I realized that it was a ghost kid. I told my manager that I was done, I couldn't deal with ghosts, grabbed my stuff, and high-tailed it out of there as fast as I could."   Creepy! Sounds like a place you should check out. Apparently their rolls are fucking fantastic.. So there is that too.   What creepy place would be complete without a Creepy road! Well West Virginia has route 901. West Virginia Route 901 is a 5.5 mile stretch through farmland in Berkeley County. Formerly known as County Route 3, locals are familiar with this short state highway. However, it has been immortalized in publications like Haunted West Virginia: Ghosts & Strange Phenomena of the Mountain State as a destination full of ghostly activity. The area wasn't a battle site, but may have been a campsite for soldiers during the Civil War.        In the recent past a couple was driving Route 901 near Spring Mills Plantation late one evening in October. Near Harlan Run the couple entered a bank of fog and the interior of the car became quite cold. The fog began to take on a greenish hue and suddenly, the car came to a stop; the engine went dead and the headlights shut off. The couple was left in cold, silent darkness.   From out of the darkness the couple was stunned to see the form of a bedraggled Confederate soldier appear. He held his back as if he'd been wounded and he appeared to notice the couple as he neared the front of their car. With a thump he laid his hands on the hood and peered pleadingly before collapsing leaving bloody handprints on the car. The husband opened his door and walked to the front of the car to help the pathetic figure who now lay prone in the roadway. When he reached out to the poor soldier the figure disappeared along with the bloody handprints. The couple quickly left vowing never to drive that stretch of road in the dark. Another plus about this road is the fact that the Hammond Mansion is located there. The Hammond Mansion was built between 1838 and 1845, and was home to Dr. Allen C. Hammond and his family.  It was an L-shaped brick federal style building.  It is rumored that another family lived on the property in the 1700s, but was attacked by bears.   The Hammonds were among the few Confederate supporters in an area which was largely under Union occupation.  While Dr. Hammond and his sons were off fighting in the War (his son George was with Company B 1st Virginia Confederate Calvary and died during the war), the ladies remained in the home.   Legend states that during this time, the ladies shot, sniper-style, several Union soldiers.  As a result, the ladies were captured and locked into the brick, windowless slave shack on the property.  The order was given to get rid of the women, meaning to take them out of the area, but the order was misinterpreted, and indeed, the women were gotten rid of.  Fire was set to the slave shack, killing them all.   Also during this era, the home served as a Civil War hospital.  When a typhoid epidemic broke out, victims were sent here, and quarantined on the summer porch.   In 1978, a fire gutted the home, leaving little more than a brick shell.  In its state of disrepair, the home became a favorite shelter for the homeless population, and one vagrant did freeze to death in the area of the summer kitchen.   It  is this homeless man, and the women who tragically died in the fire, who are said to still roam the grounds of the mansion.   The house WAS eventually restored, and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Spring Mills Historic District, listed as for sale.  Also in the district is another haunted location, the Stephens-Hammond Mill at Falling Waters.  It is said that the mill, once used by Gen. Jackson, was home to ghostly lights and sounds coming from the second and third stories of the mill, even though the floors of the upper levels were rotted away.  The mill is now torn down. So there you get a nice little 2 for 1!   We're gonna throw some quick hitters in here for ya now!    Screaming Jenny: Legend,  has it that Jenny, a poor woman with no family, lived in a shed along the B&O Railroad in Harpers Ferry. She barely had enough money to eat, and the shed stayed cold during the winter months. One day in late autumn Jenny was drinking broth over a fire and trying to stay warm. She was so focused on the broth that she didn't notice a spark had flown up from the fire and caught her skirt on fire. Her skin started to burn, she leapt up and threw the rest of the broth onto the flames, but it did little to put it out. She began to run along the train tracks to Harpers Ferry station, trying to find someone to help her, but it wasn't long until her entire body was alight with fire. Overwhelmed and screaming in pain, she mistakenly rushed onto the tracks, when a train came around the corner and ran her over. To this day, every year on the anniversary of her death, an engineer has rounded the corner to the station and seen a women completely on fire and seems to be hit by the train. When the train stops, there's nobody there! It's now one of the most haunted places in West Virginia!   The Red House is an imposing 2.5 story brick structure located in Eleanor, WV.  The original structure was built around 1840 by the Ruffner family, but there is reason to believe that the house may have actually been built as early as 1825.  The house, with its converted slave quarters and North and South Wings added by the Federal Government during the 1930s, now is home to the Eleanor Town Hall offices.  The right (North) wing, serves as the town hall section, while the left wing (South) serves as the Homestead Room, available for rent for parties, meetings, etc.  The original middle section of the house is being readied for a future museum dedicated to its New Deal Homestead history.   The town of Eleanor took possession of the Red House, or Ruffner House as it is commonly called, in January of 2001.  Earliest records from the Eleanor town website say that the structure was home to the Samuel Earl Gibeaut family in the 1890s.  In the 1920s, it was owned by Frank Fitzsimmons, then passed to his brother Chris and family.  While Chris and his family briefly moved out of state, a family of Boldens lived in the Red House.  Chris returned to the home, and then sometime it was acquired by the C.H. King family.  C.H. King and his wife Ruth had a large family and farmed the land.  The King family was living on the property at the time of the New Deal, and the home was acquired by the Federal Government.  In 1946, the government deeded the title over to the Washington Homesteads for use as an administration building, and later, it came into possession of Dr. Lyle Moser.   With a long and somewhat incomplete history as to ownership of the house, legends of this structure abound.  One legend states that a slave was murdered on the uppermost staircase landing.  Another legend states that tunnels run from the house to the nearby Kanawha River, as part of an Underground Railroad stop.  To date, evidence of such tunnels has never been found.  However, one legend DOES seem to make itself known to employees and visitors.  That legend is the ghostly overseer, protector, or guardian angel of the Red House.  Employees have dubbed him "Sam," and say that Sam likes to be heard, but not seen.   In recent years, however, it appears as if Sam, or perhaps some other resident ghost, DOES like to be seen!  Eleanor citizens walking along the town's sidewalks past dusk have been reporting seeing a man standing in one of the upper windows of the Red House.   Next…   The Captain's House, located on Juliana Street in Parkersburg's historic district, was built by George Deming, prior to 1860.  George was born in Connecticut in 1806, and was an accomplished Master Mariner.  Shortly before the Civil War, Deming left New England, and took his young family to Parkersburg, where he built at least two homes.   This home, sometimes referred to as the "Markey House," is the oldest, and is built in a classic New England style, with a small front yard, and narrow halls and a low ceiling, reminiscent of a ship.   Deming passed away in 1861, possibly due to the typhoid epidemic which was sweeping the area.  Deming's young son also passed away sometime during this time period.  Both are buried two blocks from the house in the Riverview Cemetery.  Deming's gravestone has an elaborate ship carving, and along with his birth and death dates bears the claim that he is a direct descendant of Myles Standish.  Unfortunately, the son's stone is too worn to accurately see the dates or name.   It is believed that  since Deming was in his 50s at his time of death, yet he had several young children, his wife was probably much younger.  There are no records of any other Deming's in the cemetery, so it is believed that she moved away shortly after the death of her husband and son, and remarried.   The Captain's Home has since then acquired a reputation for being haunted.  Rumors abound that subsequent owners have been driven mad while living in the home, which has undergone extensive renovations over the years.  While these rumors seem largely unsubstantiated, the home still has paranormal activity associated with it.  Workers restoring the home reported seeing a child's footprints in the dust in the attic, although no children lived in the home at the time. The dust was cleared, and several months later, the footsteps would reappear, although no children had even set foot in the closed off section.   Another strange anomaly seems to be the glow of a fire reflected in the home's windows.  People looking at the window see the reflection of orange flames whipping about, and other weird light anomalies, which are attributed to the Captain's pipe burning.   Oddly enough, the Captain isn't confined to his former home.  Residents have seen his apparition in various parts of town, often walking with his head down, and wearing a black overcoat.  He is seen at times in Riverview Cemetery, and some claim, even in the Blennerhassett Hotel.   Gotta have a bridge story right? The town of Wheeling, among other attributes, boasts the longest single span stone bridge in the United States.  The famous bridge:  The Main Street Bridge, constructed between 1890 and 1892.  Some sources say that bridge was constructed to replace an earlier bridge, one built in the 1840s.  There isn't much there to confirm this though.   In any event, the building or rebuilding in the late 1800s was quite a spectacle for the townspeople.  In an effort to enforce safety, a sign was erected which read "Danger! No one is allowed to loaf on this bridge by order of the Board of Public Works."  Pat Weir, the city's watchman, was giving the task of policing the bridge, and dealt with more than one smart-alec who insisted that they were loafing on their own free will, and not by order of the Board of Public Works, thus, it was okay for them to be there.   Whatever diligence was taken to ensure safety unfortunately couldn't prevent at least one fatal accident from occurring.  Dominick Carey, a contractor from the Paige, Carey & Co. of New York apparently fell from the bridge while heavy stones were being moved.  It has been theorized that the scaffolding gave way, and Carey fell into the icy Wheeling Creek, which feeds the Ohio River, being swept away.     Carey's body was never found, but that doesn't mean he was never heard from again...Witnesses say they encounter the apparition of the unlucky contractor on the bridge, as well as another possible spirit.    Allegedly, either the new bridge or the bridge it supposedly replaced, saw another tragic accident.  A gentleman leading a team of horses across the bridge stopped to fix a loosened hitch.  When he dismounted, he spooked his own horses, and they trampled him to death.  Witnesses have reported being approached by a man who asks "Have you seen my horses?"   Ok one more for you and we'll wrap this up! This next one is a little church with some cool stories. St. Colman Catholic Church is located about 15 miles away from Hinton, in an area of Irish Mountain named Sullivan's Knob.  Maurice Sullivan was the first settler in the area, purchasing 435 acres of land from the Gwinn Family in 1855.  The following year he was joined by the Quinlan family, and then several other Irish families.  Together, they turned the small, isolated community into a thriving Irish farm settlement.   The community  was largely of the Roman Catholic faith, and church services were held in private homes, provided once a month by a traveling preacher from St. Patrick's in Hinton.  The community pushed for a church of their own, and in 1876, Sullivan deeded over 1 acre of land to Bishop Joseph J. Kain for use as a church and a cemetery.  The cemetery unfortunately came first, as in that same year, John Quinlan passed away and was buried on the grounds.   The church was built the following year and consisted of a hewn log structure.  The cemetery is unique in that it has a "Lost Souls" corner for unbaptized babies.  The name St. Colman comes from a Gaelic saint, and the church became known as the "little Catholic church on Irish Mountain."   The church never did gain its own preacher, and continued to receive services through St. Patrick's in Hinton.  In 1928, the church was refurbished.  Clapboard painted white was erected over the hewed logs.  In 1983 it became a registered historical site.   Visitors to the church in recent years have reported unexplained cold spots and cold mists that are actually seen.  Some have reported these cold mists will take an almost human shape, and that sometimes they will stop and pause on pews by visitors, as if sitting beside them.    Paranormal groups have investigated and found numerous things. There are stories of small children's ghosts in the lost souls area of the graveyard. They also report sounds of children crying or laughing. There are stories of objects like balls being moved. Again stories of figures sitting in the pews. Sounds like a cool creepy little place.    So with all those stories you may be wondering why we didn't talk about the more well known haunts like Harpers Ferry or the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic asylum and others like that. Well if you've listened to our other creepy episodes you'll know we like to find less talked about stuff to explore. With the history of this state going back as far as it does and all the strife and hotties of the civil war in the area, it's no wonder there are tons and tons of creepy and supposedly haunted places in west Virginia. We are definitely coming back for seconds here and we actually have a couple of the spots in this state on our actual list of episodes, so we'll definitely be back to West Virginia.    Top ten horror movies set in west Virginia   https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=west-virginia

Dr. Venus was in a complete breakdown. Her website crashed, her Amazon Prime account was hacked, and the sales page for her app had to abort. There was nothing else to do but to stop, take a moment, and pray. As she asked God to help her, the answer that showed up was so much more than she expected. Black Men showed up to get up under her dreams and use their expertise and wisdom to help not only with the tech app, but with the larger mission of birthing 100 Black Women Billionaires. To fully understand how much that means to Dr. Venus and why being able to trust Black Men is such a deeply spiritual leap of faith, we must first walk it back to the historical wounds that run seven generations deep.   Historically, Black people have been pitted against each other for survival. That was deliberate, and it worked. History refused to let us see each other through innocence, and we’ve thrown each other under the bus. It’s a revolutionary act to allow yourself to be supported by a Black Man, but Dr. Venus is ready to put her trust and faith on the line and jump in.   Key Takeaways: [3:31] We think the way we act is based upon character or personality traits, when really a lot of our actions come from strategies required to survive and stay alive. In the past, Dr. Venus has worked with Black Men who are initially on board, but then something triggers them and they don’t say anything about it. Suddenly, they build up resentment, blow up, or leave. Sometimes it’s all three. [5:08] Feeling this historical wound doesn’t mean Black Men or Women are broken or bad, it just equals woundedness. While on the streets, Dr. Venus had several Black Men that had her back and looked out for her. She doesn’t have it that all Black Men are bad. She has it that Black Men are complicated. [8:22] Dr. Venus discusses these wounds and gives historical context. Black Women feel angry for Black Men not protecting or hearing them, while Black Men feel disrespected and talked down to. On the plantation, Black Men were positioned to be “less than” and humiliated in front of their own families. Black Women were just bodies to be used, and they weren’t listened to or protected. Because this is a spiritual wound that hasn’t been addressed, it brings with it 400 years of rage. When you get the two wounds of not being heard and not being respected together, it is a bloody mess. [11:36] While Dr. Venus was praying after her website crashed, what showed up were some really great Black Men. Dr. Venus believes God is pretty smart, and right now, there are a whole tribe of brilliant Black Men coming out to support her in ways she never even dreamed of, especially around her mission to birth 100 Black Women Billionaires and launch her app. [14:19] Dr. Venus speaks of one Black Man who she is proud to have as a team member. He goes above and beyond, and she is being with how much she not only appreciates him, but needs his help as she expands in this new territory. [18:43] Dr. Venus uses the analogy where she is in a canoe rowing along, and here comes someone pulling a yacht and offering her a ride all aboard this big ship. It feels scary to jump on, but she is emotionally ready and spiritually mature now to accept the help and put her trust in the Black Men showing up to help. [20:41] Even if you haven’t had the support of Black Men your whole life, it doesn’t mean that it’s too late to start. It’s scary to set up your entire life to not need a man and then open your heart and mind to a different possibility, but at this point for Dr. Venus, it’s not even an option, it’s a need. [22:02] How do you trust Black Man with your dreams? Nothing in life is guaranteed, but here is some basic groundwork: Check his actions to make sure they are consistent across the board, and not just special to you. Tell the truth. Ask for what you need and make sure it’s clear. Let him know the significance of what it is you need. Have these conversations until you are clear that he has heard you. [25:53] It can feel weird to accept help and not feel as though you have to pay for it in some way. [27:55] Step out on faith and know that God will catch you and not let anything bad happen. [30:06] When you have big goals and aspirations, you can’t reach the world alone. It takes a team, and that takes a certain amount of giving up control for a larger vision. It’s a spiritual act for Black Women to trust Black Men, and someone has to start the ball rolling. Dr. Venus is willing to choose to trust them, communicate, and be transparent all the way through. [31:17] This may just be in business now, but it can be applicable to more relationships beyond work. It opens the door for Black Men and Women to create something beautiful together, and communicate until there is an understanding in a way that comes from love. [32:27] How do you trust Black Men with your dreams?    Quotes: “I don’t have it that Black Men are bad. I have it that Black men are complicated.” “Step out on faith and know that God will catch you and not let anything bad happen.” “How do you trust Black Men with your dreams?” “It’s a revolutionary act to allow yourself to be supported by a Black Man.”   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

In the 8th episode of Planet A’s second season, Dan Jørgensen talks with Microsoft’s Chief Environmental Officer, Dr. Lucas Joppa. Dr. Joppa has worked at the nexus of data and sustainability throughout his career and is now leading Microsoft’s efforts to become a carbon negative company. Furthermore, he leads the company’s work on data and tech solutions that can help decarbonize the entire world.Perhaps unbeknownst to many, the use, storage and processing of data emit as much  CO2 as the global airline industry.While Dr. Joppa is keenly aware of the fact that data is contributing to the problem of climate change, he is also a strong believer in its ability to create sustainable solutions. During the conversation, Dr. Joppa also talks about Microsoft’s investment in carbon removal through both “nature based solutions” and mechanical carbon capture and storage (CCS).Through Microsoft’s partnerships with NGOs and start-ups, he has also pioneered the use of data solutions and artificial intelligence to advance sustainable solutions. Most notably, Dr. Joppa founded “AI for Earth” - a computing platform that can predict and thereby help prevent environmental threats. To him, the global community has not focused enough on how technology and data can help promote sustainability. In order to create an efficient carbon market, we need to have more data and measurements. For instance, no one knows exactly how many trees there are in the United States, which would be a prerequisite to analyze the price of both nature based and technological CCS solutions.

In this week's episode of our Mind Body Connection series, I take a closer look at what is happening physiologically that explains the mechanisms behind mind body pain and other symptoms. I outline the broader perspective on what goes on between the brain and the body that can account for ALL non-medical symptoms. By understanding these functions, many can get relief from a major source of their doubt. While Dr. Sarno led the charge on understanding mind body experience in general, his theory of oxygen deprivation always struck me as only part of the equation because it was too specific. Similarly, when thinking about neural pathways, we can see that they do describe a part of what is occurring, but we keep settling for partial answers. As I researched this for myself, the answer lay in a book mentioned by Sarno almost in passing — Molecules of Emotion, by Candace Pert. This is where I found out about peptides, which allow the brain to send commands to every cell in the body instantaneously to do its bidding. Come learn what is actually happening in your physiological mind body experience to reduce your doubt in this area.

Prominent politicians and the media have long stated that the science behind climate change is settled. However, in his new book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters,” Obama administration scientist Dr. Steve Koonin dispels a number of misleading claims surrounding the climate change debate.   On this episode, Dr. Koonin joins Dany and Marc to give his politics-free take. He reviews US government and UN climate assessments, explaining that the facts do not support climate change hysteria. While Dr. Koonin agrees that the climate is changing, he points out that the why and how are not as clear as you’ve likely been led to believe. And that the solutions being mooted won’t work.   Dr. Koonin is a Professor at New York University, with appointments in the Stern School of Business, the Tandon School of Engineering, and the Department of Physics. Dr. Koonin served as Undersecretary for Science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama, where his portfolio included the climate research program and energy technology strategy. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5.12.21-Koonin-transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)

In this episode, Dinesh finally reveals who our real President is--Joe Manchin. While Dr. Fauci ponders why so many people don't trust him, Dinesh shows it has to do with the glaring inconsistencies in Fauci's own positions.  A racial hoax at Albion College provokes Dinesh to explore the bizarre psychology of faking one's own degradation. Dinesh uses the example of a BLM founder to show the profitability of the race industry. Also journalist and activist Lauren Southern joins Dinesh to talk about her new children's book "The ABCs of Morality." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Jacoby discovers a critical connection. Dr. Jacoby was trained initially in podiatry, so you may wonder how a foot doctor became an expert on sugar-related illnesses? Well, Dr. Jacoby’s specialty in podiatry led him to see patients with diabetic polyneuropathy - which is the number one problem in the United States. Diabetic polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder of all the nerves in the body as a result of diabetes. Diabetic polyneuropathy often affects a person’s feet when they have diabetes.   About twenty years ago, Dr. Jacoby attended a lecture and discovered a novel neuropathy treatment using decompressions on the extremities’ nerves. The speaker invited Dr. Jacoby down to Johns Hopkins, where he worked. Dr. Jacoby took him up on the offer, went down there, read his textbooks and articles, and discovered how nerves in the lower extremities are being compressed physically by the chemical reaction of sugar that causes numbness, tingling, and burning sensations. This doctor concluded through intense research that diabetic neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome are the same things.  Taking what he learned back to Scottsdale, this was only the beginning of the many dots that Dr. Jacoby begins connecting, which led him to some powerful conclusions and treatments.  Along the way, Dr. Jacoby has treated thousands of patients, developing a unique holistic approach to understanding how sugar and carbs harm the body and the steps patients take to help regenerate nerves and rehabilitate their normal function dramatically.  Time to drop the candy and listen to this fantastic episode!   In this podcast, we cover: How a podiatrist like Dr. Jacoby became a leading authority on sugar-related illnesses How the simple formula: trauma + sugar = dysfunction explains the cause of so many diseases Why cholesterol is a “healing molecule” - not a bad guy What are the differences in the diseases related to corn-based sugars vs. wheat-based sugars? The role your microbiome plays in sugar-related disease Some aspects of the medical field that hinder progress and healing Why high fructose corn syrup causes more disease than cane sugar Actions you can take at any age to begin healing from sugar damage How a trip to Taiwan led to more evidence convicting sugar of physical abuse Forty years ago, the Surgeon General of Taiwan invited Dr. Jacoby to visit his country to help figure out why diabetes was popping up in that country for the first time? His name was Dr. Luke Chu - M.D. Ph.D. in pharmacology.  While Dr. Jacoby was there, he didn’t find a new patient with diabetes. Because it was still so rare back then, today, it’s prevalent almost everywhere. When Dr. Jacoby asked Dr. Chu what the word for diabetes is in Mandarin, Chu replied, “diabetes.” Dr. Jacoby pointed out that the word has a Greek origin, which means the country and culture had no word to explain the symptoms Dr. Chu was beginning to see in Taiwan. Dr. Jacoby concluded that the nation’s current diet must have something to do with it.  A colossal study recently conducted looked at fast-food receipts from 37 countries. Many variables were analyzed - meat, cheese, bread, condiments, and drinks. The study concluded what Dr. Jacoby suspected was happening in Taiwan 40 years ago: the number one variable connected to diabetes is sugary drinks or sodas.  The MS, Fibromyalgia, ALS connections to sugar Dr. Jacoby spends a lot of time in this interview talking about the connections he has found between sugar and some of the most widely known diseases today - from multiple sclerosis to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis...do you see the common word there? “Sclerosis.” In medicine, the word sclerosis means an “abnormal hardening of body tissue.” In Dr. Jacoby’s opinion, based on decades of research, sugar affects our body tissues.  If you don’t know - these diseases have the same symptoms of numbness, tingling, burning, and motor control loss. Carpal tunnel is the same. Sugar damages nerves like the glossopharyngeal nerve that is a part of your swallowing reflex.  Dr. Jacoby also explains how sugar plays a significant role in arteriosclerosis (there’s that word “sclerosis” again), a.k.a. hardening of the arteries.  Breaking out of the “specialization silo” of podiatry has enabled Dr. Jacoby to make some exciting connections that a specialist would never find because they typically look only at the same things and talk to the same people throughout their medical career.  Don’t be another statistic for diabetes and the horrible health results that often occur to those who abuse sugar or cannot process sucrose due to no fault of their own. Check out Dr. Jacoby for answers.  You already know that too much sugar is not suitable for you. Whatever you may call it: “doughnut cocaine,” “pixy stix,” or “carney crack,” the sweet white sand commonly called sugar is a wrecking ball on your body.  Tune in to this episode. Dr. Jacoby can help you overcome the health issues sugar brings to those who love it too much.  Episode Resources:  Dr. Jacoby’s Extremity Health Centers Dr. Jacoby’s Book Sugar Crush Dr. Jacoby on Facebook Dr. Jacoby on LinkedIn Richard Jacoby on YouTube

In this podcast, Dr. Shaw continues to review her "Ten Governing Principles" for effective communication with children.  These principles make up the foundation of her new guidebook for parents just published recently and available at Amazon.com.  The book is titled I Like How You Speak to Me... A Parent's Guide to Effective Communication with Children, and the opening section of that book lists the aforementioned Ten Governing Principles for effective communication. Dr. Shaw promised that for ten straight podcasts she would delve into a discussion of one guiding principle per episode, and this is the tenth and final one in this series of conversations.  Her tenth governing principle, the one she discusses here, is TO BE PRESENT AND IN THE MOMENT. While Dr. Shaw starts out by stating that we should always want to be in the moment in our lives, it's not always so easy, especially when raising children. There's lots to do, and there always seems to be a stressful moment.  Sometimes those moments get in the way of paying attention to the one entity that needs your attention right then and there, your child. Each of the 10 governing principles is intended to be used in tandem with the other 9, and between this podcast series and her new parenting book, Dr. Shaw shares some great strategies for getting your parent-child communication to actually work.

Fertility & Reproductive Specialist Serena H. Chen MD was an open book, sharing her experience growing up in an Asian American immigrant family of physicians with pressures to go to Harvard Medical School. While Dr. Chen "only" went to Brown (you'll hear about that in the interview!) she still turned out pretty good! Dr. Chen graduated from Brown University in Providence Rhode Island. She attended Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, where she caught her first baby and decided to become an Obstetrician Gynecologist. She then trained in Gynecology and Obstetrics and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Chen serves as Director for the Division of Reproductive Medicine in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science, and is a Clinical Associate Professor at Rutgers, UMDNJ Medical School and the St George’s University School of Medicine. Dr. Chen shared her special expertise about eggs, sperm, conception, IVF and fertility - and we even came up with an idea for a TV show! (Margaret Atwood, call us!) Included in this conversation: The evolution of "test tube" babies and fertility clinics A walk through IVF treatments Prevalence of endometriosis in the fertility population Unexplained infertility Delayed childbearing Endocrine disruptors How birth control pills can actually protect your fertility Anti-aging and egg freezing "Geriatric" pregnancy Trend of later-in-life pregnancies Age vs. Lifestyle as a factor in fertility More than you ever wanted to know about eggs The challenge of mid-40s fertility in women When should you freeze your eggs? Is it ever too late to freeze your eggs? What about freezing your sperm! Biological superpower of the egg Designer babies Can we "manufacture" eggs or sperm without a human? (The answer will shock you) Ethics of sex selection The role of mother nature vs. science in fertility Dr. Chen's book recommendations Follow Dr. Chen on Instagram: @drserenahchen https://www.instagram.com/drserenahchen/ Dr. Chen's website here: https://www.sbivf.com/fertility-doctors/serena-h-chen-m-d/ If you liked what you heard, please RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE to Wake Up Call!

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In episode 266, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C welcomes back Dr. Andy Hahn for part 2 about his Life Centered Therapy method and training process.  About our guest: Andrew Hahn, Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist. He received his A.B. Magna Cum Laude in Social Studies/Psychology from Harvard University and his Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hahnemann University. He is certified by Helen Palmer to teach the Enneagram and has also been a faculty member in the graduate Counselling Programs at Lesley University and Northeastern University. While Dr. Hahn’s strong foundation and significant experience in traditional psychology has served his clients well, he has been untiring in his effort to understand what is going on for people so that he can better help them live more contented and healthier lives. This calling for greater understanding, as well as certain experiences which he could not fully comprehend within the confines of traditional Western paradigms, led him on a search for answers that opened him to the worlds of Buddhist and Eastern Psychology; Mystery Trainings; and Depth, Archetypal and Spiritual Psychology. Thich Nhat Hanh, Brugh Joy, Dick Olney, Helen Palmer, Barbara Hastings, and Claudio Naranjo were particularly influential teachers for him. His collaboration with Dr Judith Swack opened him to the world of kinesiology and energy psychology. Taking all of his prior experience and this collaboration led to the development of Life Centered Therapy and its training institute. Dr. Hahn has been using LCT for the past 25 years to successfully treat physical problems such as chronic pain, asthma, and allergies; emotional and mental problems such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and much much more. In addition, a year-long training program has taught the approach to over a thousand students. Life Centered Therapy is a revolutionary healing framework that is a blueprint for transforming most problems, ranging from the most pedestrian to the most treatment resistant. And sometimes, the transformation simply takes one hour. The work provides people with an entirely new way of healing their suffering and helps them create miracles in their lives.

You've heard of the opiate epidemic.  Have you heard of Stan Li?  No, not Stan Lee.  Dr. Stan Li was one of the foremost pill pushers in the country, doling out opiates to over 70 "patients" per day.  If you're thinking that number seems a little high, you're right.  The courts also thought so, which is why he went to prison in 2014.  While Dr. Li is no longer alive, the legacy he left behind certainly is.

Dr. Venus has a commitment to tell the truth in this world, and she invites you to do the same. It’s easy to become jaded, especially in this new Biden/Harris term that has been born in crisis, but our real power comes in our peace and ability to connect with our own higher power rather than get entangled with others. This week, Dr. Venus shares how her recent video went viral and found its way to a very hateful comment section. From that came something beautiful, a dignified and honest (but not easy) conversation with a White Male Republican about the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th. A Black Female having a conversation with a White Male Republican may be a revolutionary act in this climate, but we can gather a lot of information when we try to hear another person’s point of view without trying to turn them into the enemy.  Dr. Venus gives context and resources for both her side and the insight behind the other side, and why our version of what happened historically has everything to do with how we move forward.   Key Takeaways: [6:50] Dr. Venus discusses the recent video she made for her White Allies who have a partnership with Black people. She wanted to promote peace on her page and didn’t want the White Allies getting attacked for trying to stick up for her. The video went viral and made its way to members of the far-right who trolled her and commented awful things on everything from her physical appearance to calling her a racist, satanist, etc. [9:23] Of course, Dr. Venus started feeling attacked and hurt from the slurs. Most anyone would. Then, she was able to zoom out and observe her reaction to notice the consistent rhetoric and language behind the hate. [10:30] In that group, there was one White Male Republican who came at her from a respectful approach, saying he would love to talk and appreciated her logic. She prayed on it and decided to go for the discourse with this man. [11:25] Dr. Venus discusses how she and this man set up boundaries for a civil conversation. It was a dignified and successful talk, but it wasn’t easy.  [12:23] The way that people fight will tell you more about their character than anything else. [14:09] Dr. Venus couldn’t understand where this man was getting his rhetoric from, and then it became clear. It came from a time that he considered harmonious for Black people, but Dr. Venus knew historically that it was a time of deep oppression. [17:07] Dr. Venus walks it back to the early days of Christianity when only the elite knew how to read. They made the distinction of Black being evil and White being pure to control the masses. In today’s White Supremacy rhetoric, we still hear the idea that being Black means being less than. They had to make Black people not human in order to justify their treatment. [20:46] While an argument exists that the Black Panthers stormed the Capitol, it actually was less than 50 men at the Capitol of California to demonstrate their legal right to bear arms. [25:37] There is a whole generational and news media infrastructure built on White Supremacy containing the rhetoric that if you believe in the current establishment you are a sheep, you aren’t a free thinker, you are a communist, a satanist, etc! While Dr. Venus acknowledges this is a little much, we must slow down to at least hear others and ask questions without trying to change their mind. [29:27] As a businesswoman, you have to be good at hearing people so you can actually be effective in this climate. [30:29] As people get ugly and say the things they say, you go Jesus on them. Go Messiah on their ass. [32:14] How you choose to walk during this time will demonstrate that God is real because it takes a level of grace to not be ugly when people say horrible things.   Quotes: “I have chosen to live my truth out loud. That’s my calling.” “When you can move something through communication, you have power. People who don’t have power use force.” “Your power comes in your peace.” “Your job is to do your God walk, whatever it looks like. Turn the other cheek, pray for them, but you don’t have to dance with the petty and their cultivated beliefs.”   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Dr. Baxter Montgomery all about complex medical illness and a prescription for better health. While Dr. Montgomery has been practicing cardiology, he has many patients with so many other illnesses that all overlap. He is doing everything he can to encourage his patients to adopt a whole food plant-based diet but finds that there are so many who are not willing to go the extra mile or are still not getting all the results they expected by doing so. You will hear how childhood, past experience, and environment set many up for their health and what fundamental approaches can be taken. Dr. Baxter Montgomery is a Board Certified Cardiologist with years of experience in the latest medical practices and nutritional health. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Texas in Houston, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC) and the founder and president of the Houston Cardiac Association (HCA). Having seen many patients suffer the consequences of chronic heart disease, Dr. Montgomery founded the Montgomery Heart & Wellness Center in 2006 with the mission to reverse and prevent life-threatening illnesses. Located in Houston, Texas, The Montgomery Heart & Wellness Center is a state-of-the-art wellness facility complete with all the technology and resources to provide comprehensive medical and wellness care. Combining his medical practice with a food-driven lifestyle intervention, Dr. Montgomery introduces patients to a novel food classification system that helps reverse chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes without medications or surgeries. He has refined this process over the past 10 years with profound positive results in severely ill patients. In addition to running Montgomery Heart & Wellness, Dr. Montgomery also does other hospital procedures and teaches young physicians. He is also the author of The Food Prescription for Better Health, a comprehensive guide for reversing chronic illnesses.

While Dr. King fervently spoke about the “dream” of country where character mattered more than skin color, this dream has failed to materialize. More often than not, the dream is simply given lip service, while structures and practices of oppression and harm remain in place.

What a Time. Covid19. Political Balance of Power Friday was the Birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday is/was Martin Luther King Day in America. At the same time, punk pioneer Art Bergmann discovers he’s an inductee for The Order of Canada.   This week on the Mulligan Stew Podcast we celebrate both.   Sam Pollard is a well-respected editor and film director. He’s been part of Spike Lee’s films having edited Mo Better Blues, Clockers, etc. When he read that the FBI files on Martin Luther King Jr were being unsealed he realized he had the subject of his next documentary. While Dr. King was talking and walking for civil rights in the USA the FBI, lead by J Edgar Hoover, was spying on Dr. King. They were looking for any information that would discredit his legacy. As Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize he was being labeled “the most dangerous negro in America” by the FBI. It’s possible his verbal opposition to the Viet Nam War may have led directly to his assassination. To recognize Dr. Kings Birthday and National Day we’ve included just a couple of minutes of Sam Pollard's commentary. The complete interview will be posted next week.   Art Bergmann is a Canadian punk pioneer. His bands and songs were pointed, angry, and loud. But what he was railing against were First Nations rights, aboriginal education, and health. Police misconduct. Politics. Organized Religion. Governments of all stripe. As the Order of Canada press release noted “for his indelible contributions to the Canadian punk music scene and for his thought-provoking discourse on social, gender and racial inequalities” Art hasn’t slowed down either. His new album Late Stage Empire Dementia is about to be released. We’ll play two tracks plus Bound for Vegas. Ladies and Gents, we are thrilled to present – Art Bergmann.  Order of Canada Inductee.    

Dr. Marie Murphy is a Relationship Coach, specializing in helping people who are having affairs make decisions on how to move forward—without judgment. She has a Ph.D. in Sociology with an emphasis in Sexuality from the University of California, San Diego, and has been teaching sex education since her high school years. Dr. Murphy is also a yoga instructor and has previously taught meditation. In this episode… So, you’ve had an affair and your family has found out about it. What now? Before you can even contemplate making a decision, the first thought that runs through your mind is: what about the kids? It can be incredibly difficult to navigate complex situations such as infidelity when you’re just dealing with yourself and your partner—but add your children into the mix and it can feel downright impossible. While Dr. Marie Murphy says this is completely normal, there is something you’re going to have to examine if you want to come out on the other side alive and ready to thrive: control.  In this episode of Your Secret is Safe with Me, Dr. Marie Murphy is joined by John Corcoran of Rise25 to discuss how to talk with your children about issues that impact your family dynamic—whether that’s infidelity, separation, or anything else. Together, they share how to responsibly start the conversation, what to do when more family gets involved, and Dr. Murphy’s advice for supporting your kids beyond the immediate aftermath. Keep listening!

They were the odd couple. The tall, handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed Estonian-born Sydney eastern suburbs GP, Dr Enn Vilo, and the short, flashy, cigar smoking Greek-born, Andreas Stathopolous. While Dr. Vilo tended the sick from his Woollahra clinic and lived with his wife and three children in a palace in Vaucluse commanding magnificent views of Sydney Harbour, Stathopoulos haunted the racecourses and big stakes gambling dens under his alias Andrew Stathis, better known as Andy the Greek.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tune in as we chat with Dr. Hilary Levitin about her zig zag veterinary career path and passion for helping veterinary colleagues. She shares her approach to turning challenges into opportunities for building resilience, the power of vulnerability, and finding gratitude during unexpected times. Dr. Levitin was born and raised in the Wrigleyville area of Chicago, IL. She attended the University of Illinois where she received a Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences with honors (2010) and a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (2015). Following graduation, she completed a rotating internship at Veterinary Specialty Center (Buffalo Grove, IL). While Dr. Levitin always had a strong interest in neurology throughout veterinary school, her rotating internship found her interested in caring for more critical patients as well. She subsequently returned to the University of Illinois for a specialty internship in Emergency and Critical Care with an additional emphasis on Neurology. During her specialty internship, she developed a strong interest in cases that combined these two specialties, including management of cluster seizures, implementing treatment for encephalitides, and head trauma. She is currently in her final year of her Neurology and Neurosurgery residency at the University of Illinois.In this episode we mention the following resource:Vets4Vets® https://vinfoundation.org/vets4vets You may learn more about the VIN Foundation, on the website, or join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.If you like this podcast, we would appreciate it if you follow and share.

If you live or work in the Carolinas, you probably either play golf or have a friend or loved one that plays. Golf is an excellent sport for children and retirees alike and a popular activity for competitive exercisers that don’t want to strain their bones and muscles in high-impact sports. However, golf can also lead to its fair share of aches and pains, so today’s episode focuses on preventing and treating golf-related injuries. On this episode of Back Talk Doc, our host Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia welcomes Dr. Graham Claytor (https://www.golfrehabandfitness.com/about.html), Director of the Physical Therapy at Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, to explore his golf rehabilitation and fitness programs. While Dr. Claytor admits physical therapy wasn’t a childhood dream, a combination of family and educational experiences ignited his passion for patient work. After several years in private practice, Dr. Claytor met professional golf agent Thomas Parker (http://www.4sportsworld.com/talent-representation/golf/4sports-team/), catapulting him into his niche in golf rehabilitation and therapy, “look, I have a lot of guys that need this kind of specific golf treatment and there’s not really anybody around here that’s doing this. There are places in Florida, whether it’s a golf mecca, there are places in California, but there’s not really this niche in Charlotte.” (7:28) Dr. Claytor explores his TPI certified program, Randy Myers (https://www.randymyersgolf.com/), some of the golf fit pro apps are very good to go see.

In this episode we continue our discussion from episode 58 last week, where, in light of the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma" that's making waves, they focus on the subject of social media, both recognizing the inherent dangers within and the literal transformation this new phenomena has had on society. While Dr. Ben has recently gotten off of social media cold turkey, Jeff and his family were previously off for two years and now have a presence again. As the two discuss the pros and cons, they ultimately provoke the listener to have a strategy for their own engagement in social media and all things online.

Dr. Daniels is on a quest to create an authentic community with anyone that will listen.   He is a Civil Engineer by trade and a Preacher's son by birth.  Dr. Daniels has proven that he is good at multitasking as he practices engineering by day and works to make a difference in his local community here in Northwest Arkansas and beyond at night and on the weekends.    Even the pandemic has not slowed him down. Dr. Daniels recently started a podcast to share his stories and experiences and those of other people around the country trying to make a difference where they live.   The primary focus of Build Community Through Love is Economic Development, Community Development, and Education.

While Dr. Jospeh Masci could speak on numerous specific issues in the realm of infectious diseases microbiology, today's discussion centers on a general exploration of virus behaviors and characteristics.  In this podcast, he addresses Why he centered his work on the study of common infectious diseases and those with special urgency such as HIV/AIDS and COVID-19;  How varied virus behaviors are, from the speed at which they infect to their morphology and their means of infection; and How these behaviors indicate even more mystery about the history of virus origin, relationship to the evolution of bacteria, and intracellular-dependence. Joseph R. Masci is a clinical professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Environmental Medicine and Public Health, and Global Health at Mount Sinai. His expertise includes HIV/AIDS diagnosis and treatment, general infectious diseases, tropical medicine, and emergency preparedness. He's currently coauthoring a book with Richard about viruses. He begins by describing how he was inspired by the infectious disease faculty in medical school and went on to work in the area, meeting the AIDS crisis and bioterrorism concerns post 9/11, and now is heavily focused on investigating COVID-19. The conversation turns into speculations about whether viruses should be considered alive and if that designation ultimately maters. This opens up a deep dive into virus behaviors. One particular characteristic that varies by virus and therefore effects infectious disease treatment is latency or the dormant stage. He discusses how such a period is quite common in many viruses, commenting that HIV can have long latency while cold viruses might hold dormancy for only a day or two. He connects this with how the virus takes hold in human cells and why this timing differs according to the virus mechanisms. They also discuss what factors dictate virulence and when passage from human to human increases or decreases the virulent attributes with specific examples. He adds that it's important to consider what the host contributes to the interaction as well as other organisms and compounds. The discussion also delves into virus origins, the nature of bacteria and virus coevolution, signaling between viruses, and the possibility of viruses working together with job-specific attributes.

On this week’s episode, Dewey sits with Dr. Ashley Townes as they discuss all things SEX! When a conversation about intimacy or sex arises, some may feel uncomfortable or hesitant to join. However, after listening to this episode, those days will soon be over! We discuss the importance of communication when it comes to intimacy and why it’s so hard for us as individuals to be open and transparent about our wants, needs and desires. Our listeners even submitted questions pertaining to sex, mental health, and the most pleasurable spots on the body so listen closely as you may be shocked to hear the answers. While Dr. Townes shared her personal experience with soul-ties, Dewey shared his journey to finding the clitoris. All in all, we have concluded that sex should be a pleasurable experience for all parties involved. And if it is not, there is nothing wrong with having that conversation with your partner!   Tap in as they prescribe you with a dose of realness.

Dr. Carrie Freeman was widowed right before her thirtieth birthday, in 2001, just a few weeks after September 11th. She was married to a loving guy, Dave, who died during a stem-cell transplant at age thirty-one during his second bout with cancer—he first had bone cancer, followed by leukemia. They met in a kung fu class and were together in Florida for six years (married for two of them), and our only kids were cats. While Dr. Carrie was mourning, she used every resource and tactic she could to help her cope: books, individual therapy, group therapy through hospice, friends, meditation and yoga, time in nature, exercise, uplifting music, funny movies, nutritious food, baths, tea, dark chocolate, and eventually antidepressants. She recommends we do it all; whatever it takes to help us. Dr. Carrie also used journaling as a form of personal therapy and still do more than a dozen years later. The good thing about writing our thoughts in a journal is the privacy it offers – we can be completely candid with no one to judge us, and no one for us to bore, because we can choose to go over tedious or repetitious thoughts as many times as we want or need to. With a journal, we are free to express just how bad we really feel, without worrying our friends, family, and coworkers. However, the point of Dr. Carrie Freeman's work is not just to purge but to progress. The Widow's Journal: Questions to Guide You through Grief and Life Planning after the Loss of a Partner is your comforting space for personal therapy and expression. It's also a guided planning process—a sanctuary for us to determine what we really care about, what we want, how we can bounce back to experience joy again, and what we should do to make our lives meaningful in this new and unexpected chapter after losing our life partner. Unlike many books on grief, The Widow's Journal doesn't tell us what we should do or feel, and it isn't a memoir or collection of other people's stories. Instead, similar to a workbook, it asks you relevant, frank, and provoking questions so we can better clarify and understand what we are feeling. Sometimes it lets us wallow, but primarily it asks us how we can better cope and take care of yourself, how we want to interact with others (including potentially dating again), how we want to commemorate our loved one, how we want to live our new life, how we can find meaning and purpose by helping others, what we regret, and what we appreciate. Valeria interviews Dr. Carrie P. Freeman — A lifelong journaler, she used her personal writing to help deal with the loss— and ultimately created The Widow's Journal, a valuable tool for others experiencing the heartbreak of losing a partner. After being widowed, Dr. Freeman channeled her energy toward earning a Master's in Media Studies from University of Georgia (2004), followed by a doctorate in Communication & Society from University of Oregon (2008). Studying media ethics, social movement advocacy, environmental communication, and animal media studies, she has presented her work at conferences worldwide and authored numerous scholarly journal articles and books as an Associate Professor of Communication at Georgia State University in Atlanta. She previously worked in human resources, focused on professional development and personal growth training in Florida (her native state). At the four universities she has been affiliated with, she has been active in animal protection student group leadership (and even in the founding of several of those groups). She has also volunteered for a decade as a radio host on Radio Free Georgia, producing weekly shows on animal and environmental protection topics at the community radio station down the block from her apartment in Atlanta, where she lives with her dog Elliott, surrounded by stacks of books, too many pillows, random antiques, and photos of her many travels prior to the pandemic. In her free time, she enjoys nature walks, dog parks, writing, travel photography, comedy programming, playing board games, and sketching tiny house and treehouse designs. From her porch, she and her dog both enjoy watching squirrels, birds, and chipmunks, but for different reasons.   To learn more about Dr. Carrie Freeman please visit her website: https://www.thewidowsjournal.com/ For Intro-free episodes: https://www.patreon.com/aquestforwellbeingpodcast Podcast Page: https://fitforjoy.org/podcast

Mass Murder by Denying Hydroxychloroquine.Dennis Prager Interviews Epidemiologist, Dr. Harvey RischHCQ: Big-Pharma Pressured Journals (Philippe Douste-Blazy)Sweden's "Death Panels" (Socialized Medicine)HCQ: Prof. Harvey A. Risch (Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health) Dennis Prager Interviews Epidemiologist, Dr. Harvey Rischhttps://youtu.be/KsFCuZovgxQ Sean GiordanoDennis Prager has Dr. Harvey Risch (MD, PhD , Professor of Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health) on his program to discuss the issue of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), it use, and the seemingly political fallout from the media and the Left (Democrats in Congress and Democrat governors). There is also discussion of how or why there is pressure or push-back against it’s use. I would say partly because of “TDS” (Trump Derangement Syndrome), but also

The National Coalition for School Diversity serves as the hub of the school integration movement.  While their annual conference was postponed due to COVID, the keynote panel was held virtually. A conversation conceived in honor of Integrated Schools founder and former podcast co-host, Courtney, it offers a chance to better understand the history of desegregation so that we might better conceive of how to move forward.  A chance to know better, so that we might do better.  Through a conversation facilitated by journalist Dani McClain, Dr. Vanessa Siddle-Walker tells the story of the excellent, robust, and holistic Black schools and educators that our country consciously eliminated in its desegregation efforts. While Dr. Elizabeth McRae recounts the steady work of White supremacist educational politics, most often led by White women, to ensure that Black educational excellence was eroded and replaced by White supremacist policies and pedagogy.  Not only did real integration never happen, but the costs of its failure were enormous and last to today. Courtney was on the NCSD steering committee, and this panel was conceived in her honor.  Author Courtney Martin kicks off the conversation by conjuring the memory of Courtney Mykytyn, and Andrew closes things out with a tribute to Courtney and the importance of this work, in this moment.  It's an important conversation, and we are deeply grateful to everyone involved for allowing us to share it.  LINKS: Elizabeth McRea - Mother's of Massive ResistanceVanessa Siddle-Walker - Their Highest Potential, The Lost Education of Horace TateDani McClain - We Live for the WeCourtney Martin - The New Better OffThe National Coalition for School DiversityVideo of the full keynote is available here.Eula Biss - White DebtThe NEAThe Fort Pillow MassacreThe United Daughters of the ConfederacyGreen v County Board of New Kent CountyRemember, any book bought through a link here or by starting at our affiliate page on IndieBound supports local bookstores, and Integrated Schools. Join our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.Let us know what you think of this episode, suggest future topics, or share your story with us - @integratedschls on twitter, IntegratedSchools on Facebook, or email us hello@integratedschools.org.The Integrated Schools Podcast was created by Courtney Mykytyn and Andrew Lefkowits.This episode was produced, edited, and mixed by Andrew Lefkowits.Music by Kevin Casey.
