Podcasts about World Health Organization

Today I welcome back Róisín Michaux — the Irish writer based in Brussels who covers women's rights and free speech in the context of the transgender movement — for her second appearance on the show. When I booked this interview I had no idea what we'd cover; I simply trusted her to bring something worth digging into. What she brought is her ongoing investigation into the new World Health Organization guidelines for global transgender healthcare, and I'm hearing most of it for the first time right alongside the listener.Róisín walks me through how a 2019 reclassification in the International Classification of Diseases — moving gender identity out of mental health and into sexual health in order to “depathologize” it — created a conundrum: how do you get hormones and surgeries reimbursed for a condition that's no longer a condition? That question, she argues, is the thread that connects the WHO's guideline development group to a much larger story about HIV funding, the Global Fund, Open Society Foundations money, and decades of AIDS-elimination targets.We get into the “third gender” populations of India, Thailand, and Latin America; why so many of these vulnerable young men end up in prostitution and at high risk of HIV; and how offering the hormones and surgeries people want became a mechanism for getting them into clinics and onto antiretrovirals. We also cover the insurance-coding sleight of hand happening closer to home — mastectomies billed as “scar repair,” girls documented as males with gynecomastia — and what it all means for the parents and therapists trying to make sense of what their kids and clients are actually saying.The question the episode keeps returning to: if the price of ending AIDS is medicalizing vulnerable kids and reframing whole populations as trans, is that a victory worth claiming?Róisín Michaux is an Irish writer based in Brussels, Belgium. She writes about women's rights and free speech in the context of the transgender movement. She is specifically interested in LGBTIQ activism, activists' relationship to EU/European bureaucracies, the funding they receive, and how it has all led to deep and anti-democratic policy capture. She has 2 kids and a cocker spaniel. Follow her on Substack at Peaked or on X @RoisinMichaux. Listen to our previous conversation: 206.

The Invite Part 2: Why Caretaking Kills Sexual DesireWelcome to Part 2 of our multi-part deep dive into A24's film The Invite. (If you haven't listened to Part 1 or seen the movie yet, major spoiler alert!) In this continuation, Lauren and Trey take an honest, unflinching look at the four lead characters to ask the ultimate psychosexual questions: Would you date them? Would you sleep with them? And what do their dynamic flaws reveal about modern long-term relationships?Lauren and Trey dismantle the hidden poisons that quietly destroy intimacy inside monogamous marriages. They explore why "caretaking" acts as a massive anti-aphrodisiac and how women's "erotic self-focus" gets shamed in long-term dynamics.From confronting the toxic "supposed tos" of marital sex to analyzing Esther Perel's famous framework; we will have many marriages in our lives, whether with the same partner or new ones. This episode is a masterclass in stepping out of "poor me" victim triangles and choosing true relational flourishing.Key TakeawaysAnalyzing Seth Rogen's miserable, back-pain-riddled character, Lauren explains why stepping into a "sweet mommy" or caretaker role completely kills erotic charge. Drawing on Esther Perel's work, she breaks down why primal sexual desire cannot exist where maternal or paternal caretaking takes over.The Male Isolation Epidemic: Trey reflects on his own male friendships, prompting Lauren to address the tragedy of male social conditioning. They dissect how culture discourages emotional vulnerability between straight men, forcing husbands to rely on their wives as their sole source of emotional anchor, connection, and touch.Lauren unpacks Esther Perel's cornerstone philosophy. As humans evolve over decades, relationship containers must either be consciously rebuilt from the inside or uncoupled. Assuming a partnership will stay the exact same through parenthood, career shifts, and perimenopause is a recipe for resentment.If you and your partner are caught in a loop of rejection, caretaking, or living on relational crumbs, it's time to rewrite your agreement.

World Heath Disclosure David Eells 7-19-26 (audio) Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sat. 18 July 2026 by Judy Byington, Welcome To The Great Awakening Next 48 Hours, Critical Next Ten Days, Historic Next 30 Days Changes Civilization “Most don't realize how hard it is to speak the truth to a world full of people who don't realize they're living a lie.”…Edward Snowden Judy Note: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 a ceasefire was activated in Israel – confirming a global reset of Mid East stability. Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, while Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. It all happened just as Q predicted: “Israel would be last.” Though the next day on Fri. 17 July 2026, the US Navy resumed a full naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The day before Iran had bombed a US Military base, ensuring a permanent break of the ceasefire. Trump's attack was mainly financial. The blockade was costing Iran $400 million a day, while US Central Command (CENTCOM) pounded targets in wave after wave of strikes on bridges, trains and other infrastructure that would affect any trade Iran could do outside the country. Of course, Iran refusing peace and making war would keep them out of the Global Currency Reset and financial system. Trump declared, “We gave them a chance… they shot first. Big mistake.” It was a typical Trump reaction. Because of the Global Military Alliance led by the US President and Commander-in-Chief, Deep State Elites were finally collapsing, while Sovereigns of the World were reaching out to grasp peace and Constitutional Law under God, governed by We The People. Q said it best on Telegram today: “The UN is now obsolete, because Trump is doing their job for them. The UN does not carry out its intended function, so Trump unilaterally took over as the new UN.   “Trump created the Board of Peace, brokered all the peace deals worldwide, and is shutting down threats to the people of the world, like Iran's nukes, the American cartels, ISIS in Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, etc. “Trump is using tariffs and military precision, to operate as the UN is supposed to. Trump is now the new global peacemaker, whether you like it or not. “Nothing gets done at the UN, so Trump took matters into his own hands.” Trump had already assured that Free Energy was on it's way to every household, and with the Global Currency Reset (GCR) that just launched, currencies across the World were trading at a 1:1 with each other as backed by gold and other assets. Our financial future was safe and finally away from the fiat dollar. The GCR had caused the Deep State's privately owned IRS to find it's grave, while their Illuminati's over taxing of the American people suddenly vanished. The Cabal's Federal Reserve now held a new position under the US Treasury where at last, bankers would be held accountable for their actions. The Deep State Elite's petrodollar was dead, Oil Monopoly, dismantled. When announcements came about the new financial system, Stock Markets would collapse; banks fail; the old wealth, evaporate. Though, The People would thrive with the new gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 nations. The Health Industry around the World was being forced to actually help the body heal itself using light and sound frequencies of free Med Bed treatments. Trump was placing Med Beds in hospitals and other facilities worldwide. Thus, these health providers would have the tools to promote health and no longer could tear down our bodies through dependence on their expensive drugs, surgeries and other over priced medical procedures. With Trump's Thursday Executive Order that released free Med Bed treatments to the public, Big Pharma was finally facing accountability through massive legal consequences for their crimes. For centuries they had forced on the population, dependency on drugs that not only didn't heal the body, but actually contributed to ill health. Peace and Freedoms wouldn't come easy. Mr. Pool Q on Telegram said that the next 48 hours were critical. The next ten days were historic. The next 30 days would change civilization.   Within the next 24 hours, seven trumpets were set to sound over every phone, tablet, TV, radio and communication device on Earth to introduce seven Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) messages in 22 languages that explained what's going on. And, what was actually going on? Liberty and Peace were winning. The Great Awakening was here. One of the Liberties that Trump had already given People of the World (that they were yet to know about) was that of good health through Med Beds. Trump's Military Alliance was opening up Med Bed Centers around the World to give free regenerative treatments that healed the body without drugs. On Fri. 17 July 2026 a nurse from Walter Reed Military Hospital leaked her testimony on Med Beds. She had worked in Walter Reed's Med Bed Wing for seven years: She contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. Her identity has been verified by three independent sources. She worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center from 2017 to 2024 — in a section that does not appear on any public floor plan. She calls it “Sub-Level 3.” Situation Updates: Fri. 17 July 2026 Situation Update: Byington Bombshell Report: America Now Sovereign Under Constitutional Law – Trump Signs EO Releasing Free Regenerative Med Beds to Public | Politics | Before It's News Fri. 17 July 2026: BREAKING FREE: Mind Control, S-----c Ritual A---e, and Jenny Hill's Extraordinary Journey in Twenty Two Faces [JUDY BYINGTON] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Thurs. 16 July 2026 Situation Update (video): WTPN SITUATION UPDATE FEATURING RESTORED REPUBLIC & MORE   A Quantum Space Q Phone will be provided free of charge to all people on Earth. It will be used for internet connectivity on the new Starlink Satellite System: texting, calling, banking, voting and much more, such as used as a credit tool and to make both local and international financial transactions of retail consumption and commercial business. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the ceasefire in Iran and the Middle East was active. Fri. 17 July 2025, Edward Snowden: Two years ago today, President Trump was shot on stage in Butler Pennsylvania. Trump was putting his life on the line by being President. Since then we have seen: • 2025 security lapse at Trump National Golf Club • 2025 Air Force One security incident • February 2026 Mar-a-Lago Secret Service shooting • March 2026 Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone violation • 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting • 2026 National Mall Secret Service shooting • 2026 White House Memorial Day Weekend shooting • Multiple threats by Iran.

Fri. 17 July 2026 MarkZ: Indian Nations are 90% done exchanging. Bond Groups receive their balance this weekend. Tier4a should be finishing exchanging this next week – then Tier4b (us, the Internet Group). Fri. 17 July 2026 Med Bed Activation on Telegram: On Mon. 20 July 2026 Free QFS app appointments begin. Redemptions provide endless resources for Med Bed rollout everywhere. Full public Med Bed access expands. Those with Humanitarian projects receive priority. Thurs. 16 July 2026  Bruce, The Big Call The Big Call Universe (ibize.com)  667-770-1866 A source said Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could be notified over the weekend and start exchanges Mon. 20 July. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System.   Mass Arrests: On Mon. 7 July 2026 Operation Military Cleanse was activated:  847 Pentagon officials detained  234 Generals and high-ranking officers arrested  678 Military operatives removed from active duty  4,000 Troops deployed across 19 states for domestic operations  50 States coordinated simultaneously Charged With:  Treason against the United States  Coordination with foreign adversaries  Conspiracy to overthrow the government  Crimes against Humanity  Violation of Military Code of Justice What We Think We Know as of Sat. 18 July 2026:   Med Beds Thurs. 16 July 2026 BREAKING: TRUMP JUST SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 2026-1947. MEDBED TECHNOLOGY DECLASSIFIED FOR CIVILIAN USE. THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY HAS 90 DAYS. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram July 15, 2026. 04:00 AM EST. This was signed in silence. No press conference. No cameras. No media briefing. Executive Order 2026-1947: “Declassification and Civilian Deployment of Electromagnetic Regeneration Technology.” THE ORDER STATES:  All frequency-based healing technology currently classified under Department of Defense medical programs is hereby declassified for civilian research and deployment.  The FDA is prohibited from blocking, delaying, or interfering with the distribution of electromagnetic regeneration devices to the American public.  Pharmaceutical companies have 90 days to disclose all suppressed clinical trials involving frequency-based treatments — or face criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.  Military medical facilities currently operating regeneration technology will begin civilian intake within 120 days. THE PANIC: Pfizer stock dropped 14% in pre-market trading. Johnson & Johnson emergency board meeting called at 5:00 AM. Moderna CEO sold $47 million in personal shares before market open. They KNEW this was coming. They tried to sell before the collapse. WHY NOW?: Trump's medical advisors presented him with a 3,400-page classified report documenting 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research. The report contained: — 847 successful clinical trials hidden from the public — 12,000+ patients fully cured of terminal conditions using electromagnetic frequency — Cost analysis showing MedBed treatment at $0.003 per session vs. $150,000 average cancer treatment Trump read the cost analysis. Then he signed the order. THE TIMELINE:  Day 1-30: Full declassification of all research documents  Day 31-60: FDA forced to approve frequency-based devices  Day 61-90: Pharmaceutical disclosure deadline (criminal penalties)  Day 91-120: First civilian MedBed centers open in 12 states THE DEEP STATE RESPONSE: They are already trying to k--l this. Three major media outlets received calls from pharmaceutical lobbyists at 5:30 AM demanding they do NOT report on EO 2026-1947. CNN has been silent. NBC has been silent. ABC has been silent. Their silence IS the confirmation. If this order was fake, they would be laughing at it on every channel. Instead — total blackout. Total silence. Total panic. THE TRUTH: The pharmaceutical industry just received its death sentence. 90 days. That's all they have left. After that, the technology that cures cancer in 42 minutes will be available to every American citizen. They had 61 years of profit. 61 years of human suffering. 61 years of suppression. It ends now. Fri. 17 July 2026 Fox News: MAJOR PUSH ON CAPITOL HILL: WAR ON FRAUD RAMPING UP, BILLIONS STOLEN FROM TAXPAYERS Social media investigator Nick Shirley testified today exposing rampant fraud — from Somali day care scandals in Minnesota to massive Medicaid scams in NYC with Dr. Oz. DOJ milestone: Trade Fraud Task Force hit over $1 BILLION in recoveries in under a year. Dr. Oz & others highlighting adult day care mills, fake billing, durable medical equipment scams (twice as many in parts of Florida as McDonald's), and personal care services as NYC's top “job.” This isn't red or blue, it's right vs. wrong. Hardworking taxpayers are getting robbed. Every dollar stolen is one less for real Americans. Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 19 July 2026 by Judy Byington, On Sat. 4 July the Constitutional Republic Restored, While US Inc. Dissolved On Thurs. 16 July the Quantum Financial System Went Live Worldwide Also on Thurs. 16 July President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a Declaration That Med Bed Technology Had Been Released to the Public. Global Martial Law Was Not Only The Only Way, But Was On It's Way The Republic of United States of America Was Being Restored Trust The Plan Save The Children _____________________________________________________ Judy Note: The Constitutional Republic has been restored. The Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currency of 209 nations has been released. Med Bed technology – giving the body the ability to heal itself – was being released. The Illuminati Cabal, who for centuries had been working towards having complete control over our society, didn't like those ideas, and was fighting back big time. Trust The Plan. “On Sat. Evening 18 July 2026 the White House in Washington DC turned all red, signifying Mass Arrests were in motion.” …Q “In the coming hours, the World as we see it will be changed forever as Michael Jackson emerges on the Emergency Broadcast System – alive and ready to speak. It's time for the whole World to know the truth.” …Emergency Broadcast System on Telegram “The US Army Special Forces raided a hidden Obama property in the Virginia countryside, where they discovered “The Lucifer Codex.” The files proved that Obama was the high priest who personally opened the main hell portal under Washington DC in 2009.” …Martial Law on Telegram Temporary Martial Law has been raised to maximum alert nationwide. The EBS is preparing to release the first decoded pages within hours.   Prepare for ten days of communication darkness. We are in a silent war – the final battle of the planet. In the next couple of weeks the World will change and tremble. One of the most dramatic changes: Free Med Bed Treatments will soon be available to the general public across the Globe. The non invasive treatments, which generally take under an hour, use certain wave lengths to help the body heal itself. Since 2019 the American Medical Association has been actively fighting against allowing the public to have the healing treatments, saying they will create a financial crisis to the healthcare industry and force a complete overhaul of our medical, health insurance and pharmaceutical companies. In 2019 the American Medical Association (WHO) sent an internal email to every licensed physician in America – 847,000 doctors: The email acknowledged the positive effects of Electromagnetic therapy (Med Beds), but threatened the doctors with loss of license and criminal prosecution if they used it because of the financial affects it would have on the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The Email: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement: The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures. Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” The bottom line was that your doctor knew that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle was scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribed managed symptoms, not cured disease. He cannot tell you because his license would be revoked and he would face criminal liability by the American Medical Association. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to the documented clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease (Med Beds). The deletion happened 14 hours after President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a declaration that Med Bed Technology was now released to the public.The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. On a brighter side: “A senior Treasury Department official claims that the Quantum Financial System was live and the Global Currency Reset was happening now. Everything you know about money is about to change forever.” …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The senior US Treasury official contacted us 48 hours ago through a secure channel. Her identity verified by six independent financial intelligence sources. She worked in Treasury's Special Financial Operations Division 2008-2026. She calls it “The Awakening.” Her words. Unedited: “July 4, 2026. U.S. Corporation dissolved. Constitutional Republic restored.” “July 16, QFS went live globally. Every major bank connected. Old system dead.” “GCR happening now. Every currency revalued. Gold-backed. Transparent.” “NESARA/GESARA implemented across 209 countries. Debt jubilee. End of Fed.” “Saint Germain Trust ($890 trillion) is being activated. Going to the people.” “I have the activation codes. I have the account numbers.

The jubilee is here.” “To every person who worked their entire life for money that's about to be worthless: You will be compensated. The Saint Germain Trust is for you.” “To the Federal Reserve leadership: Your time is finished. The QFS is live. You cannot stop it anymore.”   OPERATION FINANCIAL FREEDOM ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: QFS Activation ✓ LIVE (July 16) PHASE 2: Currency Revaluation ⟳ JULY 25 – AUGUST 8 PHASE 3: Wealth Distribution ⟳ AUGUST 15 – SEPTEMBER 30 PHASE 4: New Economy ⟳ OCTOBER 1 The Quantum Financial System is live.

There were discovered to be thousands of pages of foreign IP address sending and receiving data to election precincts and servers outside the United States during the 2020 Election. CISA, DHS, the FBI, and the CIA knew all about it because they were in on it. The Deep State rot runs deep, but not for much longer. The Mar-a-Lago unredacted search warrant CONFIRMS that the Biden DOJ, FBI, and GSA engineered and manufactured the plot to frame Donald J. Trump! On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the U.S. military went deep into Iran and expanded operations. Bridges and supply routes were no more. Airports went up in smoke. Infrastructure vaporized. The IRGC was being wiped out. The goal was to destroy Iran's infrastructure and its military capability would collapse. When its military broke, its regime would fall. The old world of Iranian tyranny was dead. The New World of American dominion begins. The oil runs freely. The cash was rolling in. Peace comes. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram. The CIA knew about cures for cancer 50 years ago. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC A nurse from one of America's hardest-hit C---D hospitals in NYC described gross medical mismanagement where clueless healthcare workers were straight-up k-----g patients. Survival wasn't about medicine — it was about whether your caregiver actually knew what they were doing. Medicare paid hospitals MORE when patients died. The system incentivized death over life.   Possible Timing: “On Sat. 18 July 2026 at 3:17 AM EST the RV/GCR exploded – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the Cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time.” …Dr. Jim Willie Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Global Currency Reset: Sat. 18 July 2026 The dollar is dead, the reset is here, and the traitors are about to lose everything. …Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Dr. Jim Willie just went nuclear: the United States Corporation is bankrupt, the fiat dollar has been deliberately crashed by white hats, and the quantum financial system flipped live overnight. The RV/GCR exploded at 3:17 AM EST today Sat. 18 July 2026 – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time. Willie laid it out raw: The BRICS nations, led by Trump's secret alliance with Putin and Xi, just pulled the trigger. Over 209 countries locked into gold-backed currencies, the SWIFT system is offline forever, and the Rothschild central banks are being seized as we speak. NESARA/GESARA fully activated – all bank debt, mortgages, credit cards, student loans WIPED OUT starting tomorrow morning. Redemption centers on full lockdown, military guarding Tier 4B notifications going out within hours. The real bombshell? GITMO executions began at dawn – top bankers, Fed chairs, and deep state money launderers hanged for treason after the gold standard was restored. Med Beds rolling out next week, suppressed energy tech released, and the biggest wealth transfer in human history is hitting patriot accounts first. Trillions in restitution flowing to those who held the line and printed fake money. America is being shaken awake – power outages are tactical, internet blackouts cover the arrests, and the EBS is primed for the 10 Days of Darkness starting any moment. The storm isn't coming – it's here. The fake Biden corpse regime ends this week, Trump sworn in on the real Constitution, and the Republic rises from the ashes of their burned-out corporation. Anons, this is the moment we bled for. The dollar dies so we can live free. The evil empire of debt slavery is over. They stole our wealth for 150 years – now we take it all back with interest. The Hat is dropping truth like napalm: the shock is just beginning, and the cabal is screaming as their money turns to dust. Get ready for the greatest week in history. Notifications any second. Redemption appointments flood in. The Golden Age starts NOW. The shaking isn't destruction – it's liberation. Nothing can stop what's coming. Patriots are about to be richer than kings while the wicked burn. NCSWIC. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. What We Think We Know as of Sun. 19 July 2026: Sat. 18 July 2026 Fox News: Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC “In Queens, adult day cares [have] pharmacies set up, it's this big racket where they BILL all these people with medical beneficiary numbers from seniors in the adult day cares. They make so much money from Medicaid, THEY GIVE KICKBACKS to the seniors.” “So you have these Korean and Chinese mafias, quite literally, looting the government from Medicaid, and then giving the kickbacks to the seniors!”   INGRAHAM: “So wait, the old people get the money themselves?” SHIRLEY: “Well, they make so much money, these pharmacies and these little day cares, that they then have a referral program set up for these seniors. So it's like bringing a friend will give you a hundred bucks.” Med Beds Sat. 18 July 2026 YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS. HE WAS TOLD TO STAY QUIET. HERE'S THE EMAIL THAT PROVES IT. …Tier4b ISO20022 In 2019, an internal email was sent to every licensed physician in the American Medical Association network. 847,000 doctors received it. The subject line read: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement” The email contained one directive: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” Your doctor read that email. And then he looked you in the eye and said: “There's nothing else we can do.” THE EMAIL WAS NOT ABOUT SAFETY. Buried in paragraph 14 — the paragraph no one reads — was this sentence: “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” Read that again. Slowly. They ACKNOWLEDGED it works. Then they BANNED doctors from using it. Not because it's dangerous. Because it's too effective. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR ACTUALLY KNOWS: Every physician trained after 2005 was taught — in medical school — that:  Cells respond to electromagnetic stimulation (this is in every biophysics textbook)  PEMF accelerates bone healing (FDA approved since 1979 for fractures)  Transcranial magnetic stimulation treats depression (FDA approved 2008)  Electrical stimulation regenerates nerve tissue (published in Nature, 2019) They ALREADY know frequency heals. They use it in narrow, controlled applications where pharmaceutical profits aren't threatened. But the moment you ask: “If magnets can heal my bones, can they heal my cancer?” Your doctor goes silent. Changes the subject. Writes another prescription. Because he read the email. And he chose his license over your life.   THE DOCTORS WHO REFUSED TO STAY QUIET: Dr. Jerry Tennant — Published “Healing is Voltage.” Proved that every disease correlates with a measurable voltage drop in affected tissue. Restore the voltage, cure the disease. His medical license was “reviewed” three times. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt — Documented frequency therapy curing Lyme disease in 85% of patients. Lost hospital privileges at two institutions. Dr. Thomas Lodi — Achieved 90%+ cancer remission using integrative frequency protocols. Forced to relocate his practice to Mexico. Dr. Lee Merritt — Spoke publicly about suppressed electromagnetic healing. Removed from every medical board she served on. They didn't lose their careers because they were wrong. They lost their careers because they were RIGHT — and they refused to be silent. THE MATH OF SILENCE: Average doctor salary: $350,000/year Average medical school debt: $241,000 Years to pay off debt: 13 years Cost of losing license: Everything They designed a system where speaking the truth costs a doctor their entire life's investment. 13 years of training. $241,000 in debt. Their home. Their family's security. The AMA didn't just threaten doctors. They built a financial prison that makes silence the only rational choice. Your doctor is not evil. He is trapped. But YOU are not trapped. You don't have a license to lose. You don't have $241,000 in debt holding you hostage. You have nothing to lose by knowing the truth. THE TRUTH: Your doctor knows that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle is scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribes manages symptoms, not cures disease. He cannot tell you. The email made sure of that. 847,000 doctors received one email. 847,000 doctors chose silence. The email has been leaked. The silence is over. Your doctor knew. Now you know too. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to frequency healing. …EBS activated with Trump on Telegram A digital forensics team monitoring the World Health Organization's public research database flagged a mass deletion event. 14,247 pages of archived research — removed in a single batch operation. Every deleted file had one thing in common: They documented the clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease. THE DELETED FILES INCLUDED:  1,847 peer-reviewed studies on PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy showing 70-94% efficacy in tissue regeneration  3,200 pages of WHO internal memos from 1998-2015 discussing “the frequency problem” — their own term for the threat that non-pharmaceutical healing posed to global health economics  6,400 pages of clinical trial data from 11 countries showing frequency-based cancer remission rates between 67-89%  2,800 pages of correspondence between WHO directors and pharmaceutical executives discussing “containment strategies” for frequency healing research HOW WE KNOW: The Wayback Machine captured snapshots of 4,100 of these pages before deletion. Digital forensics teams archived another 7,300 through automated scraping protocols that were triggered by the mass deletion event. They deleted 14,247 pages. We recovered 11,400. They failed. WHAT THE MEMOS REVEAL: A 2003 internal WHO memo — now recovered — contains this exact sentence: “If electromagnetic frequency therapy achieves mainstream clinical adoption, the global pharmaceutical revenue model becomes unsustainable within 18-24 months. Containment is not optional. It is existential.” Signed by three WHO department heads. Names redacted in the original. Digital forensics has identified two of the three. A 2011 memo is more direct: “Recommend classification of all PEMF efficacy data as ‘inconclusive' regardless of outcome metrics. Peer review panels must be briefed accordingly.” They didn't suppress the research because it didn't work. They suppressed it because it worked TOO WELL. WHY NOW: The deletion happened 14 hours after Executive Order 2026-1947 was signed – Trump's declaration that Med Bed Technology was released to the public. This is not coincidence. This is panic. The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. They are destroying evidence. In real time. Right now. But the internet never forgets. And neither do we. THE NUMBERS THEY TRIED TO ERASE: — Breast cancer: 78% complete remission using 10.5 Hz PEMF (WHO Study WH-2007-4491, now deleted) — Type 2 diabetes: 64% reversal using 7.83 Hz exposure, 30 min/day for 90 days (WHO Study WH-2012-8823, now deleted) — Alzheimer's: 41% cognitive restoration using Gamma frequency 40 Hz stimulation (WHO Study WH-2014-1157, now deleted) — Chronic pain: 91% elimination using Alpha frequency 10 Hz (WHO Study WH-2009-3340, now deleted) These are not alternative medicine claims. These are the WHO's OWN studies. Conducted with their own funding. Showing their own results. And they just tried to delete them from existence. THE QUESTION: If frequency healing doesn't work — why delete 14,000 pages at 3AM? If MedBeds are “conspiracy” — why panic after a presidential executive order? If electromagnetic therapy is “pseudoscience” — why did the WHO spend 17 years studying it and then HIDE the results? Their actions are the confession. The deletion IS the proof. They spent 20 years hiding the cure in their own database. Then they tried to burn the database. The fire came too late. We already have the files. Share this. The evidence is secured. The deletion failed. Sat. 18 July 2026 BREAKING: JAPAN JUST BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY TO OFFICIALLY APPROVE MEDBED TECHNOLOGY FOR PUBLIC HOSPITALS. THE MEDIA BLACKOUT IS TOTAL. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram July 17, 2026. Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare just issued Directive MHLW-2026-7714: “Authorization of Electromagnetic Frequency Regeneration Devices for Clinical Deployment in National Healthcare Facilities.” This is not a trial. This is not a study. This is FULL APPROVAL. Starting September 1, 2026, electromagnetic frequency regeneration chambers will be installed in 340 national hospitals across Japan.   [Incomplete text due to character limit.

We are recording from a brand-new space, and we have a very specific, mandatory homework assignment for you: Go watch the film The Invite.In this episode—part one of a multi-part deep dive—Lauren and Trey break down a cinematic masterpiece that had them squeezing each other's legs, cackling out loud, and talking straight through dinner on one of their top ten date nights of all time. With renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel serving as the film's consultant, The Invite is a masterclass in tension, long-term marital fatigue, and the boundary lines of modern desire.Key Takeaways:The Trope of the Therapist-Patient Romance: Penélope Cruz's character is a therapist dating her former patient (Edward Norton). Lauren unpacks why this highly eroticized trope is actually a massive clinical, ethical violation, discussing hierarchies of power, projection, and why AASECT enforces strict timeframes of up to 10 years before any such crossover can occur.The Liar vs. The Lie Invitee: Trey maps out how the married couple in the film operates entirely on "honesty when convenient." Lauren breaks down how partners routinely tell white lies to remain chosen, proving that the liar hides the truth because they can't handle their partner's reaction, while the "lie invitee" secretly plays along because they can't handle their own emotional response to the truth.Secrecy vs. Privacy: Where is the boundary line? Lauren defines a secret as the willful withholding of information that your partner has a direct right to in order to make informed decisions. Privacy, however, is a healthy boundary, like your personal fantasy life, solo sex practice, or your pin code, which does not affect the physical or emotional well-being of your spouse."Would You F*ck Yourself?": Directly addressing Esther Perel's famous clinical question, Lauren discusses why cultivating your own individual desirability, self-worth, and "fuckability" is entirely your job, not your partner's.If you are tired of surviving on relational crumbs and are ready to dismantle the "liar/lie invitee" patterns in your dynamic, let's build a stronger, more honest relational container together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

A new vaccine to tackle Ebola will now be tested on people after the UK regulator gave permission for trials to take place. University of Oxford scientists began developing the vaccine - aimed at tackling the Bundibugyo species of the virus - eight weeks ago, when a public health emergency was declared by the World Health Organization. It is the first - out of four vaccines under development - to enter clinical trials. The epidemic, centred on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has killed more than 700 people. Also: the dispute over who controls the Strait of Hormuz has intensified with some of the heaviest exchanges of fire since the US and Iran agreed an interim peace deal last month. The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has visited the wildfire zone in the southern province of Almería, where 13 people have died.

What happens when the chaos of your partner's professional world begins to bleed into the sanctuary of your marriage? In this ultra-fast, raw episode, Lauren and Trey pull back the curtain on a massive new challenge they are navigating in real time: handling viral internet toxicity, online critics, and the public backlash that comes with having a loud, necessary female voice in the relationship space.Trey opens up about the visceral stress, protective instincts, and anxiety he feels watching people attack his wife online. Instead of letting the outside noise create a fracture between them, they hit record to brainstorm a real-time solution for dealing with professional pressure at home.From introducing the genius framework of the "Tomato Day" to unpacking how public criticism accidentally triggers original father and mother wounds, this episode is a brilliant blueprint for any couple trying to manage heavy outside stressors without stepping on each other's toes or bulldozing each other's domains.Lauren and Trey map out a clear communication strategy for when one partner has a rough day in the public eye. Instead of carrying unspoken tension, they introduce a system where Lauren can flag a bad day by simply saying, "I had some tomatoes thrown at me today," giving Trey the option to offer a pure listening turn rather than jumping into "fix-it" mode.Fixing vs. Witnessing: Trey vulnerably addresses his urge to go to battle, "fight the dragons," or aggressively step into Lauren's business domain to protect her. Lauren models how to gently decline unasked-for rescue attempts, reminding him that all she needs is to be looked in the eyes, reassured, and held.Lauren wraps up with a powerful reminder that every couple faces external pressure, whether it's demanding careers, parenting struggles, or financial weight. The secret to long-term relational survival isn't avoiding these hardships; it's preventing the mismanagement of these "third things" from dictating the peace of your home.If outside stressors, demanding careers, or family friction are beginning to mismanage the peace inside your relationship, let's build a stronger, more resilient playbook together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

BUFFALO, NY — July 13, 2026 — A new #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on June 26, 2026, titled “Hormonal dimorphism in sarcopenia disease.” The review was led by first author Romain Menard and corresponding author Romain Madelaine from the MDI Biological Laboratory, Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA. Sarcopenia—the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical function with aging—is one of the leading causes of frailty and disability in older adults. Although the condition affects millions of people worldwide and has been recognized as a disease by the World Health Organization since 2016, treatment options remain largely limited to exercise and nutritional interventions, with no approved medications specifically targeting the disease. Growing evidence now suggests that one reason for this limited success is that sarcopenia develops through distinct biological mechanisms in women and men. In this comprehensive review, the authors examine how biological sex influences the hormonal mechanisms underlying muscle aging. They focus on three peptide hormones—apelin, insulin, and oxytocin—and describe how age-related changes in these interconnected signaling networks contribute to muscle decline through distinct biological pathways in women and men. According to the review, women often experience an abrupt decline in muscle health during menopause as estrogen levels fall rapidly. This hormonal transition disrupts apelin signaling, accelerates insulin resistance, reduces oxytocin-mediated muscle regeneration, and impairs the function of satellite cells, the muscle stem cells responsible for repair and regeneration. In contrast, men generally undergo a slower, more gradual decline in muscle function that parallels progressive reductions in testosterone, resulting in different patterns of hormonal dysregulation and disease progression. The review also highlights the central roles of apelin, insulin, and oxytocin in maintaining healthy skeletal muscle. Together, these hormones regulate muscle metabolism, glucose utilization, mitochondrial function, protein homeostasis, inflammation, and satellite-cell activity through overlapping signaling pathways. Disruption of this hormonal network during aging is proposed to contribute to impaired muscle repair, reduced metabolic function, chronic inflammation, and progressive muscle loss.

Shortsightedness or myopia affects long distance vision, preventing people from seeing objects over a few yards away. You may remember we covered the subject on Do You Really Know? a while back and that it has been labelled an epidemic due to ever increasing prevalence worldwide. It's estimated that a third of all people suffer from myopia, and the World Health Organisation has suggested that half of all human beings in the world will be shortsighted by 2050, with excessive screen use and a lack of time spent outdoors largely to blame. If you simply can't stand contacts or glasses, laser surgery is another option. It's been in fashion since the turn of the century and according to Optegra, over 15,000 Brits choose to go down that route each year. Can all shortsighted people get laser eye surgery? How does the laser work? Does it work every time? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Listen to today's podcast... Do you remember playing your first video game? Mine was Pong and it was New Year's Day at a friend's house. How cool was it to see the game get faster and faster and try to keep up the hand-eye co-ordination? Now the video game industry is worth $70 billion a year and there are over five million games in existence. Most of us have played at least one video game in our life. According to a National Today Survey, many of us like to play our games on our phones. The #1 reason we played was we were bored, followed by when we were watching TV, before we go to sleep and unthinkably for me…when we are on the toilet. Ick. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Video Game Day: Whether you celebrate Video Game Day this month or in September, it is not only easy, but it is also fun as well. All you have to do is to fire up your favorite video game system and have some fun with your friends or family. You can play games on a modern system or you can play one of your classics. Video games can be a great stress reliever. They help to pass away free time. They can give an adrenaline rush and you get a chance to use your imagination and problem-solving skills. Video games can be highly engrossing, but some people can become addicted to gaming.  The World Health Organization recently recognized "gaming disorder" as a mental health condition. Simply playing a lot of video games isn't enough to count as a disorder. Rather, the disorder occurs when gaming interferes with people's daily lives. So have fun gaming, but remember that this should only be one of many strategies that you use to build your resiliency and manage your stress. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D., originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, creator of Relational Frame Theory, and one of the most cited psychologists in the world. Full Show Notes: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-363/?ref=278 Hayes reflects on his early experiences in the Summer of Love, why psychedelics were never meant to be treated as a party, and how those formative explorations helped shape his lifelong work on psychological flexibility. Paul and Steven explore what psychedelics can reveal about the nature of self, the role of preparation and context in safe outcomes, and why psychedelic therapy must not be reduced to a patented, "script and go" biomedical model. Their conversation also examines ACT, trauma, attachment, group experience, spiritual community, and the importance of honoring each person's unique path rather than forcing transformation into averages, labels, or protocols. Steven C. Hayes, Ph.D., is a Nevada Foundation Professor of Psychology Emeritus at the University of Nevada, Reno and President of the Institute for Better Health, a 45-year-old charitable organization that promotes quality in mental and behavioral health services. He is the originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, creator of Relational Frame Theory, and a co-developer of Process-Based Therapy. Hayes has authored nearly 750 scientific articles and 48 books, including Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life and A Liberated Mind. His methods are distributed worldwide by the World Health Organization and other major scientific agencies, and are commonly used in psychedelic-assisted therapy. His TEDx talks and blogs have been viewed or read by more than five million people, and he is among the most cited psychologists in the world. Highlights: Psychedelics as tools of the mind The Summer of Love's unfinished lessons Self as context and spiritual awareness Why good trips feel like coming home ACT as psychological flexibility Preparation, safety, and lasting change The danger of "script and go" psychedelics Group ceremony and relational healing Particularity, averages, and human uniqueness Psychedelics beyond the therapy frame Episode Links: Steven's Website Steven on Medium Steven Instagram Steven on Linkedin Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

The show must go on! Despite a massive headache and being on the verge of tears from the sheer exhaustion of prepping for a five-week move, Lauren sits down with Trey to tackle a raw, urgent conversation sparked by the dark side of the internet.A recent clip from the show, unpacking why pity sex and obligation sex destroy intimacy, went viral, landing squarely in a toxic corner of the international "manosphere." Lauren pulls back the curtain on the thousands of aggressive comments demanding that married women simply "give" their husbands bodies on demand.Trey and Lauren don't shy away from the noise. Instead, they use it to break down the sheer laziness of marital entitlement.Key Takeaways:Lauren addresses the intense pushback from a specific subset of online critics attacking her professional work. She breaks down why these negative comments are actually a gift, propelling the vital message of mutual desire and female erotic sovereignty right into the hands of the couples who need it most.Trey directly challenges the patriarchal script that states marriage equals unconditional bodily access. He introduces a sobering truth: in a conscious, modern partnership, you aren't entitled to your partner's body or labor; you are only ever entitled to leave if the dynamic no longer serves you.Lauren clears the air by pointing out that entitlement isn't gender-exclusive. She calls out the "honey-do list" phenomenon and the shadow side of straight dynamics where women feel entitled to a man's physical or financial labor simply because of a marital title.When your relationship feels lacking or stuck in a transactional slump, how do you fix it? Lauren reveals the ultimate relational tool: Radical Curiosity. She issues a challenge to the audience to ask their partner a deep question about their contentment, and then force themselves to ask two more curious questions before formatting a response.If your relationship has devolved into transactional demands, scorekeeping, or quiet resentment, it is time to throw out the old playbook.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Last week the Supreme Court ruled seven to two in favor of Bayer-Monsanto, and it changes the rules for anyone who gardens, farms, or eats food grown in this country. Notice they did not go to the highest court in the land to prove Roundup is safe. They went to argue that even if it causes cancer, you are no longer allowed to sue them in your own state for failing to warn you. In this episode I walk you all the way through it. Not the headline, the whole thing. What the ruling actually says and why the legal logic is so slippery. The real story of who Bayer even is and why a drug company bought a pesticide company. The billions already paid out in cancer settlements, and the trap door that just closed. And then, because despair is just laziness in a nicer outfit, exactly what you and I do about it, starting today, with our hands and our habits and our dollars. You have more power here than you have been told. Let's use it. What We Cover Who John Durnell is, and the twenty-plus years of Roundup use behind this case What the ruling actually says, in plain English: FIFRA, the EPA, and the "Uniformity" clause that decided everything Why the legal reasoning is so slippery, and what the bipartisan dissent from Justices Jackson and Gorsuch warned about The honest version of the science fight: what the World Health Organization said versus what the EPA says Three branches of government, one year, moving in the same direction, and the one piece the people actually stopped Why a pharmaceutical company bought a pesticide company, and the structure underneath "create the problem, sell the cure" The settlement numbers, and the question they cannot answer: why pay billions for a product you swear is safe? What this precedent means for every other industry going forward What practical steps you can take right away The Receipts A few of the numbers and facts from this episode, so you have them: The case is Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, decided seven to two on June 25, 2026. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch. The ruling reversed a Missouri jury's verdict that had awarded John Durnell one point two five million dollars on a failure-to-warn claim. In 2015, the World Health Organization's cancer research arm classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has concluded it is not likely to cause cancer when used as directed, and never required a warning label. In 2020, Bayer agreed to pay nearly eleven billion dollars to settle around a hundred thousand cancer claims. The company has spent well over ten billion total, and proposed another settlement of seven and a quarter billion in February 2026. In February, the President signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to boost glyphosate production, though experts question whether it even reaches these lawsuits. A push to shield pesticide companies from these lawsuits in the Farm Bill was stripped out in late April by a bipartisan vote of two hundred eighty to one hundred forty two. The people stopped that one. What You Can Do Lower your toxic load where you can. Start with personal care products, the things you put on your skin every day. Skip drinking from, storing food in, and especially microwaving plastic when you have a glass or steel option. Know where your food comes from. Rinse and soak your produce before you eat it. This is the produce wash/soak product I use.  Grow some of your own, even a little. One tomato plant on a balcony is more food sovereignty than most Americans have. Start absurdly small. Just start. Support local farms, and then ask the question. Find a farm you trust, and kindly ask them about their spraying practices. Give your money on purpose to the people who opt out. Support your body's own systems. Sweat regularly, move consistently, and give your gut real breaks between meals. Move, sweat, rest, repeat. None of this is medical advice or a substitute for your doctor, it is everyday support for a body built to handle a tough world.

This week, temperatures across much of Europe reached above 40 C. In parts of Spain and Portugal, it was hotter than the Sahara Desert.Governments are telling citizens to stay indoors. Schools have closed. Wildfires have spread. Nuclear reactors have reduced their output because rivers have become too warm to cool them efficiently. The World Health Organization says Europe's heat is responsible for 1,300 deaths since June 21st.For generations Europe built its cities, homes, public spaces and tourism industry around the assumption that summers would be hot, but bearable. That assumption is beginning to change. The Guardian's Europe environment correspondent Ajit Niranjan joins us to talk about what happens when a whole continent discovers it was built for a climate that no longer exists.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The World Health Organisation says more than 1300 deaths can now be linked to Europe's unprecedented summer heatwave. As the heat moves east, all-time temperature records have been broken in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. Experts say with global warming making heatwaves more frequent, severe, and deadly, Europe is particularly vulnerable when it comes to soaring temperatures. - سازمان جهانی صحت می‌گوید بیش از ۱۳۰۰ مورد مرگ اکنون با موج بی‌سابقه گرمی تابستانی در اروپا مرتبط دانسته می‌شود. همزمان با حرکت این موج گرمی به سوی شرق، ریکاردهای تاریخی درجه حرارت در آلمان، پولند و جمهوری چک شکسته شده است. کارشناسان هشدار می‌دهند که با افزایش شدت و مرگبار بودن موج‌های گرمی بر اثر گرمی جهانی، اروپا به گونه ویژه در برابر درجه حرارت بسیار بالا آسیب‌پذیر است.

Anger grows among Venezuelans who say the government is not doing enough following last week's deadly earthquakes. Six people are still missing in BC's Georgia Strait after a charter boat sank this weekend. Residents of Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories have been ordered to evacuate due to nearby wildfires. U.S. Supreme Court rules President Donald Trump cannot immediately fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. World Health Organization say more the 1300 deaths are linked to Europe's extreme heatwave. Winnipeg doctors say Manitoba's healthcare system is in a dire state, call for hiring more physicians. Team Canada turns attention to the World Cup's round of 16 and its next opponent -- either the Netherlands or Morocco.

If you listened to our last episode, you know things got incredibly real, incredibly fast. We hit a massive, unexpected friction point on-air, original source wounds were triggered, and we awkwardly cut the episode short. But because we practice the relational intimacy we preach, we didn't edit it out, and we didn't sweep it under the rug. We sat right back down, hit record, and picked up exactly where the "ouch" happened.Lauren takes immediate accountability for the impact of her communication style, inviting Trey to narrate his internal state of shutdown, fear, and closing the safety doors. You'll hear exactly how to hold space for a partner's "ouch" without getting defensive.Trey pushes back on whether 50-year-old societal changes matter to couples in their 40s today. Lauren breaks down how macro patriarchal norms directly dictate their modern dynamic; from the invisible "privilege of the male body" (not needing keys between your fingers to walk safely through a dark parking lot) to the exhausting feminine trap of over-functioning.Lauren shares insights from her current clinical work with clients in their early 20s who are already buckling under inherited, artificial gender burdens. She examines the toxic Mad Menera scripts that dictate what a man "should" provide, proving that none of us were handed a healthy relational playbook from the start.Trey shares a vulnerable analogy about his childhood history, describing how minor disagreements or mistakes in his past were met with massive, disproportionate relational punishments. The emotional equivalent of getting slammed on the pavement by a cop for jaywalking. They look at why it often feels safer to lie or hide rather than voice a dissenting opinion.When Lauren asks Trey why he chooses to stay in the relationship despite the hard stuff, he gives a beautiful mathematical breakdown of partnership. He explains that navigating the tiny percentage of relational friction is precisely what makes the remaining 99% of their joy, laughter, and erotic connection so rich.If you are ready to expand your window of tolerance and build an indestructible relational container, let's talk.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Violence is often regarded as an unavoidable fact of life. The truth however is far more hopeful: violence is a disease that can be cured. Using a bold new approach, Epidemiologist and violence prevention specialist Dr. Gary Slutkin is reclassifying violence as a a disease: One that enters the brain and infects people, communities, and countries via the same process as other epidemics. Gary makes a compelling research-backed case that when: Shootings occur in a school or community, A political figure is assassinated, Or an authoritarian leader directs violence in his nation's own cities, These are not just tragedies, but disease outbreaks that can (and must) be interrupted and contained. As a leading epidemiologist, Dr. Slutkin led teams to end epidemics of cholera and tuberculosis, then HIV/ AIDS in Africa and Asia with the World Health Organization. Upon returning to the US, he began to discover the invisible science of violence—and how to contain it using the very same epidemic control methods. Today, we will dive deep into the insights he's gained over the years, a time-tested roadmap for recovery, And the playbook that has been used to dramatically reduce or eliminate violence in many of the most dangerous neighborhoods throughout the US and Latin America. It's a playbook that has also been successfully adapted to curtail political violence, election violence, and gender-based violence in countries around the world. Whether it's domestic violence, mass shootings, state tyranny, or war Gary argues that these are all syndromes of the exact same disease, And that they all require the same interventions. More importantly, he reminds us that we already have the tools to protect ourselves, heal our communities, and end violence in our lifetime. It is now up to us to use them.For more on Dr. Slutkin, his powerful new book: The End of Violence: Eliminating the World's Most Dangerous Epidemic, as well as other resources and offerings.

In April 2023, the World Health Organization released a new report on infertility, which said that around one in sex people worldwide experience infertility at some point in their lives. The WHO's Director-General labelled the phenomenon a major health issue and called for more research in an area that is “still under-studied…and insufficiently funded”. The sheer proportion of affected individuals shows the need to expand access to fertility-related care and ensure that this issue is no longer sidelined in health research and policies.

Since Donald Trump returned to the Presidency in 2025, the US has become increasingly isolationist. It has pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and the IPCC, left the World Health Organisation, as well as a whole host of other international organisations and agencies. So, when President Trump leaves the White House, will the US be able to rebuild trust on the international stage? This week on Cleaning Up, former US Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry sits down with Michael Liebreich and reflects on some of the defining diplomatic efforts of his career, from negotiating the Iran nuclear deal to helping secure the Paris Climate Agreement. Secretary Kerry explains how years of relationship-building and behind the scenes diplomacy helped bring Iran to the negotiating table and why he believes the original nuclear agreement succeeded in limiting Iran's nuclear programme. He also shares his frustration at what he sees as the dismantling of agreements and relationships that took years to build, and the challenge of restoring trust in US leadership on the global stage.  Secretary Kerry also shares his perspective on working with China, the importance of international cooperation, and the role diplomacy still has to play. They also discuss rebuilding trust in US leadership, and the shifting balance between the US and China in clean energy. Topics Include: How the Obama administration negotiated limits on Iran's nuclear programme The diplomacy behind the Paris Climate Agreement The meaning of "common but differentiated" in climate diplomacy Lessons from Kyoto, Paris and Dubai on international climate agreements Why engaging adversaries matters more than isolating them How can the U.S. rebuild trust on a global stage?

Neste episódio, Garry se sentou para uma segunda conversa em português com Marcus Lacerda na sede da OMS, em Genebra. Marcus assumiu a direção do TDR em março de 2026, vindo da Fiocruz Amazônia e da Fundação de Medicina Tropical Doutor Heitor Vieira Dourado, no Brasil. Médico infectologista e pesquisador em medicina tropical, ele tem uma trajetória que influenciou profundamente as estratégias de eliminação da malária e, de forma mais ampla, o campo da saúde global.Nascido em Taguatinga, no entorno de Brasília, Marcus relembra os missionários católicos que o levaram pela primeira vez ao interior da Amazônia, compartilha suas percepções sobre a malária vivax como um “assassino social silencioso”, uma doença que não apenas tira vidas, mas também compromete o desenvolvimento cognitivo de crianças e reflete sobre o que será necessário para reduzir a distância entre inovação científica e impacto real na vida das pessoas.Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.  All content © 2026 Global Health Matters.  

We hope you're ready for the ultimate exercise in relational transparency, because this week's episode takes a turn that none of us saw coming. Lauren and Trey sit down after a two-week batching break to look at a pattern plaguing many hetero relationships: the feeling of being "duped" after the wedding ceremony when the lingerie, the dates, and the blowjobs seem to stop, or when a partner lets themselves go.Using Dané Logan's book Sovereign Love as a guide, Lauren opens up a conversation about entitlement, gender norms, and the cycles of caretaking and control. But things quickly shift from theoretical analysis to real-time practice. When Trey pushes back on the framework of "big P Patriarchy," an unexpected on-air conflict erupts over communication styles, interruptions, and hurt feelings. Instead of editing it out, Lauren and Trey leave the microphones running to show you the raw, awkward, and deeply human process of navigating a live trigger inside a long-term partnership.Lauren and Trey unpack the common complaint heard from straight men that the woman they married isn't the easygoing, sexually forward woman they dated. They look at both sides of this coin, from the abrupt halt of spontaneous sexual intimacy to the lack of effort in dating and appearance from men post-marriage.Lauren utilizes Emily Nagoski's framework to help men identify what they actually mean when they say they want more sex. Do they want connection, to feel wanted/desired, physical pleasure, or an adventure/escape?Halfway through the episode, the couple hits an original source wound. Trey shares how Lauren's hand gestures and "expert stage posture" made him feel small and cut off, causing him to mentally pull out of the conversation.Lauren clarifies that examining patriarchal marriage history (like dowries or women lacking bank accounts) isn't about blaming individual men. It's an invitation to wag the finger at historical systems rather than pointing it at your partner.If you and your partner are constantly getting caught in cycles of interruption, defensiveness, or sexual frustration, let's look at the patterns together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

“The most vulnerable are almost always children, because they don't have any ability to change their circumstance. They don't start these wars. They are powerless to stop them, but they suffer so much in these situations.”Nada Tawfik speaks to Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF, the United Nations agency responsible for protecting and supporting children.Before taking up the role in 2022, she spent decades in government and diplomacy, including as assistant to President Joe Biden as well as serving in senior roles at the US State Department focused on global women's issues and international development. Now leading UNICEF at a time of unprecedented conflict, displacement and humanitarian need, she talks about the impact of aid cuts and the challenges facing children around the world.

“The state of Lebanon needs to have an exclusivity of arms. And definitely, Hezbollah needs to be disarmed… Disarming a group or a community is not possible by force, it's possible by conviction. You put pressure, but you cannot eliminate a whole society, a whole community. We need to have an exclusivity of arms in the hand of the state, an exclusivity of decision through a political process, pressuring Hezbollah to disarm, but getting also in parallel a full withdrawal of the Israelis from occupied Lebanese territories and a full cessation of hostilities.”Jeremy Bowen speaks to Gebran Bassil, the Lebanese politician who served as the country's Foreign Minister between 2014 and 2020.Mr. Bassil, who is from the country's Maronite Christian ethnic group, leads the right-wing Free Patriotic Movement political party. The party was founded over 30 years ago by the former President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, who is also Bassil's father-in-law.In October 2024, a year after the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October started the current Middle East conflict, the Free Patriotic Movement party announced that it was cutting ties with Hezbollah. Bassil slammed the Iranian-backed militant group for threatening the safety and stability of Lebanon when it launched its own attacks on Israel in support of Hamas.As the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues in southern Lebanon, Bassil and his party are part of growing calls for the country to take a new direction.

“There is more spending in defence and less spending in global health or in public health or health security, which makes us vulnerable...Because the invisible enemy could be more impactful. Imagine, have you ever seen a war in recent memory that killed 20 million people? Why can't we come to our senses?”Justin Webb speaks to Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organisation, about the invisible threat of viruses and the rapid spread of a new strain of Ebola.Tedros recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo where this latest outbreak started. It is particularly challenging because it involves a rare species of Ebola for which there is no vaccine, and the epicentre is in an area affected by conflict. There are also cases in neighbouring Uganda.The WHO General-Director claims governments are focusing too much on defence spending, and he makes an impassioned plea for countries to allocate more money to global health, and to prevent future pandemics.Thank you to the Today team for its help in making this programme.

Amid the ongoing Ebola outbreak, doctors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are treating symptomatic patients and facing shortages of crucial protective and diagnostic equipment. Amy Maxmen, PhD, public health correspondent and editor at KFF Health News, reports on the situation.   MONGBWALU, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - MAY 24: Community members watch as health workers wearing protective equipment prepare for a safe burial operation in the community of Mongbwalu on May 24, 2026 in Mongbwalu, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda a "public health emergency of international concern," as the death toll and number of confirmed cases continue to rise. The current epidemic is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, one of several Orthoebolaviruses that can cause Ebola disease, and for which there are no approved vaccines. The highest number of cases have been reported in Congo's eastern Ituri province, bordering Uganda. Global health officials have expressed grave concern over the capacity to contain the outbreak in a region already facing a humanitarian crisis, with highly mobile populations displaced by conflict and economic factors.

In May 2026, the World Health Organization declared an Ebola outbreak in western Africa a public health emergency of international concern. Within days, hundreds of cases had been recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raising fears that the virus could spread further across the region.Ebola has been causing outbreaks for nearly 50 years, but despite advances in vaccines and treatments, the disease continues to return. But why is it so difficult to treat and contain?
