It's Thursday, March 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal's new government less likely to feature Hindu nationalists Christians in Nepal are cautiously hopeful after recent elections in the Asian country located north of India and which features the Himalayan Mountains including Mount Everest. Youth-led protests toppled the government last year. The new government is poised to feature less Hindu-nationalist parties. Hindu extremists drive most persecution of Christians in Nepal.  One pastor in the country told International Christian Concern, “The [election] results are unexpected. Though the outcome is confusing, we remain hopeful, especially as there appears to be a decline in the influence of pro-Hindu nationalist parties.”  Franklin Graham preached to 90,000 in Lima, Peru Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Christ with over 90,000 people in Lima, Peru over the weekend.  Listen. GRAHAM: “The Bible says, ‘All we, like sheep, have gone astray. Each has turned to his own way.' But man has a problem. That problem is called sin. “Sin is a barrier. It's a wall between you and God, and sin has to be atoned, and the only way is through the shed blood of Jesus, Christ on the cross. “Without Jesus, you have no hope. You cannot save yourself, only the blood of Jesus. “You have a choice tonight.  Jesus said, ‘I'll never leave you nor forsake you.' Will you come to Him tonight?” Thousands responded to the message during the evangelical event. Peru is a predominantly Catholic country. However, the number of Evangelicals has been growing rapidly in the South American country in recent years.  Chile is first country to eliminate leprosy in the Americas Chile recently became the first country in the Americas to officially eliminate leprosy.  The World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization verified the achievement. Chile has not reported any locally acquired cases of the disease for over 30 years.  The World Health Organization noted, “Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease … primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract mucosa, and eyes. If untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage, disabilities, and social stigma.” U.S. and Ecuador team up to kick drug cartels out The United States and Ecuador launched joint military operations against drug cartels in the South American country last week.  Over a dozen other Latin American countries also plan to cooperate with the U.S. military against drug smuggling operations. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed these countries during the Shield of Americas Summit in Florida on Saturday. Listen.  HEGSETH: “We don't have to live with communities flooded with drugs or violence or cartels and gangs. We can seal our border, and we have to for our citizens. “We share a hemisphere and geography. We share cultures, Western Christian civilization. We share these things together. We have to have the courage to defend it. We have a Commander-in-Chief in our country who's set that compass heading.” New poll: Don't need to believe in God to be moral Pew Research reports fewer people around the world believe it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. A majority of adults in the United States, Canada, and Europe say it's not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values. People in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are much more likely to say belief in God is necessary for morality.  In the U.S., 31% of adults say it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. That's down from 42% in 2014. Wyoming passes Heartbeat bill Wyoming became the latest state to enact a fetal heartbeat law. Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed the Human Heartbeat Act into law on Monday. This makes Wyoming the fifth state to ban abortions on babies at about six weeks of pregnancy.  If a heartbeat is detected, the baby must be protected. Liberty Counsel noted, “The ‘Human Heartbeat Act' bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected. However, it does include exceptions for medical emergencies when the mother's life is in danger, or her health is at risk of serious impairment. The law does not include exceptions for rape or incest.” John Newton, former slave ship captain, wrote “Amazing Grace” And finally, this week is the anniversary of John Newton's conversion.  Newton was a captain of slave ships in his early life. While at sea, a severe storm brought him to his spiritual senses. This led to his conversion on March 10, 1748. Newton went on to marry, become a pastor, and work to end the slave trade. Newton is well known for his hymns. Each week he would write a hymn to a familiar tune. Of his hundreds of hymns, he is especially remembered for “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds!” and “Amazing Grace.” WINTLEY PHIPPS: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.” That was sung by Wintley Phipps. Newton wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone which says, “Once an infidel … was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ preserved, restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.” Reminds me of the Apostle Paul. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In this episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the clinical and practical applications of David Schnarch's Intimacy & Desire. Moving beyond the bedroom, they explore how the concepts of the High Desire Partner (HDP) and Low Desire Partner (LDP) manifest in every corner of a partnership; from travel and hosting to professional ambition and the pace of daily life.While these terms are often used to describe sexual frequency, Lauren and Trey chop it up to see how these roles flip depending on the context. They explore how Trey often moderates the pace of adventure while Lauren pushes for the next big trip, and the inherent toll of being the HDP for community and hosting. They take a raw look at the intersection of urgency and spaciousness, examining how Trey's desire for a slower, more generative pace interacts with Lauren's high-capacity professional drive.Lauren and Trey tackle the "heavy burden" of being the Low Desire Partner in a sexual dynamic. Lauren deconstructs the cultural shame often directed at women who are HDPs, as well as the pressure felt by LDPs who feel they are keeping their partner from what they want. They explain why they don't actually have a sex problem despite their differing levels of desire, pointing instead to the importance of a Solid Flexible Self. By having a well-defined sense of self that doesn't depend on a partner's constant validation, they are able to use requests and offers in the "third domain" to negotiate intimacy without one person feeling controlled by the other.Coming off a season of repair, they share a vulnerable moment of "slam poetry" eroticism and the importance of receiving a partner's desire even when capacity is low. They model how to stand in the Four Points of Balance, ensuring that neither partner feels silenced or pressured. By understanding that the initial honeymoon phase is a temporary chemical state, they demonstrate how moving into a differentiated, long-term partnership requires intentional tools and a commitment to separate self-responsibility.Lauren offers embodied coaching to help you and your partner navigate these dynamics with clarity and grace.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.

Dr. Kang is tackling a modern, high-impact problem: our relationship with technology (and “perma-crisis” busyness) is driving stress, disconnection, and attention fragmentation—especially in kids and teens—unless we build a healthier “tech diet” and lifestyle that restores regulation, connection, and play. In today's conversation Dr. Shimi Kang explores how brain science can help us thrive in a world shaped by stress, constant change, and persuasive technology. She shares her origin story—from early fascination with the brain to work with the World Health Organization—and explains why mind and body are inseparable in real life. Together, Dr. Kang and Dr. Wells unpack the “tech diet” (toxic, junk, and healthy tech), why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how simple daily practices—movement, connection, downtime, and music—restore brain health and motivation.

What is femicide? Thanks for asking! Many countries reported increased gender-based violence during recent coronavirus lockdowns. Femicides are the most extreme form of such crimes against women, and they have been on the rise for many years now. The term dates back centuries, but has taken on a new meaning in recent decades, with feminists placing emphasis on the specific nature and intent of femicide. It has gradually been adopted by international organisations like the United Nations and World Health Organisation. If a man kills a woman, is it automatically a femicide then? The murder of a woman isn't always femicide, even if committed by a man. Femicide refers specifically to murders carried out because the victim is a woman. The WHO published an information sheet on the subject in 2012, providing details of several different types of cases. The most common is intimate femicide, which is committed by a current partner or ex partner. Worldwide, these account for 35% of all murders of women in the world. A study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime found that 87,000 women were murdered in 2017, with 58% being killed by an intimate partner or family member. By the same logic, non-intimate femicide is when the murderer and victim do not have an intimate relationship. This includes killings linked to a sexual assault and antifeminist murders, for example. Other types of femicide include dowry-related murders and honour killings.  Are there specific laws on femicide?

Six years after the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global emergency, are we any better prepared for the next pandemic? Professor Joseph Harris reflects on what Covid revealed about the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. public health system and the fragility of global cooperation.

Today marks World Hearing Day, and this year there's a particular focus on the importance of hearing care for children — and the role it plays in shaping their development, education and future opportunities. The campaign theme, “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children,” highlights the need for early screening and intervention, with the World Health Organization estimating that around 90 million young people worldwide are living with hearing loss — much of it preventable. At the same time, here in Ireland, Hidden Hearing is highlighting the powerful link between healthy hearing and being fully present in everyday family life — from simple conversations to those moments that really matter with children and grandchildren. To discuss why hearing health deserves more attention at every age, Alan Morrissey was joined by audiologist Faye Heuston. Photo (c) Pixelshot via Canva

In this final installment on relational wounding, Lauren and Trey explore the unspoken journey of returning to sex after conflict. They discuss navigating the transition from protective isolation to physical connection, proving that repair is as physiological as it is emotional.Lauren introduces Betty Martin's "Base Camp" framework; the internal state required for pleasure after trauma. Facing a "two-choice dilemma," she reflects on choosing restoration over the righteousness of suffering and identifies the three requirements needed to move forward.The couple details their slow road back, starting with non-sexual, comforting touch. Using the Three Minute Game and "May I?" requests, they re-established a flow of energy. Lauren shares the raw reality of their first kiss post-wounding, describing it as a "drawbridge" moment that triggered a vital emotional release.They dive into their first sexual encounter, which Lauren intentionally centered on her own pleasure. She describes her "crying orgasm"; a somatic cleanse of rage and grief. By asking Trey to withhold his orgasm, she protected herself from the "shadow side of taking," ensuring the experience restored her agency rather than deepening the wound.Repair is rarely linear. From Lauren testing Trey's defensiveness to his commitment to over-communication, they model staying present when things feel abrasive. They stress not "brushing things under the rug" just because sex has returned, keeping accountability firm.Lauren reflects on her forged "warrior queen" energy, viewing pleasure as the ultimate antidote to pain. This episode is a testament to how partnerships can emerge more differentiated and authentically connected after facing the fire.Are you navigating the journey back to intimacy after a hurt?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.

According to the World Health Organization: in 2019, about 528 million people worldwide were living with osteoarthritis, which was an increase of 113% since 1990.  It's safe to say that osteoarthritis remains a very common joint disorder in the United States. That's why a new treatment offered at Norwalk Hospital is such a big deal. We talked to Dr. Christine Chin about radiation therapy.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kamalakar Arjun Lashkare, National Professional Officer for Lymphatic Filariasis at the World Health Organization Country Office for India.We explore the global fight against lymphatic filariasis—commonly known as filaria—and unpack the World Health Organization's strategy to eliminate it as a public health problem.Dr. Lashkare explains why WHO views filariasis not merely as a disease, but as a broader public health challenge with deep social and economic consequences. We discuss the organization's technical framework, its overall global elimination roadmap, and the central role of Mass Drug Administration (MDA) in interrupting transmission.The conversation also dives into India's efforts, one of the countries bearing a high burden of the disease, and how national strategies are shaped, implemented, and monitored. Finally, we examine what happens after elimination: the critical steps needed to prevent resurgence and ensure that filariasis does not return as a public health threat.CreditsGuest: Dr. Kamalakar Arjun LashkareHost: Shreya MResearch: Alisha Concept: Piramal FoundationProduced by: The Good SightFor feedback or to participate, write to us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠contact@thegoodsight.org⁠#DefeatFilaria #WHO #PublicHealth #CommunityLedChange

Hidden Hunger: The Importance of Micronutrients: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on the critical role of micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—in overall health. Leyla highlights the global issue of 'hidden hunger,' a deficiency in essential micronutrients that silently affects billions worldwide. She explains the impact of this deficit on immune function, growth, energy metabolism, and chronic disease prevention. The discussion includes key micronutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium, and their sources. Leyla underscores the need for dietary diversity, fortification, targeted supplementation, and nutritional awareness to combat this pervasive issue. She also advises on recognizing symptoms of deficiencies and the importance of individualized nutrition plans guided by healthcare professionals.

Introducing Brain Bytes, a new micro-cast hosted by Kelly Tremblay, PhD, neuroscientist, World Health Organization advisor, NIH grant reviewer, advocate, and professor. Brain Bytes features "byte"-sized nuggets of knowledge aimed at making neuroscience accessible for the senior living world.  In each episode, which will air on the fourth Friday of each month, Dr. Tremblay will share research-backed information related to aging and brain health. This week, she explores the different types of dementia and examines what evidence-based researchtells us about it. While encouraging listeners to take practical steps to support healthy aging, Dr. Tremblay explains that a significant portion of dementia risk may be modifiable. Factors such as education, physical activity, cardiovascular health, hearing and vision care, and social connection all play a role in supporting brain health across the lifespan.

Some 2 million people worldwide are poisoned by snakebites every year, resulting in the deaths of around 130,000 of them. Yet these deaths are avoidable through preventive measures, first aid and public policies to make antivenom available. The World Health Organization has labelled snakebite a neglected tropical disease and believes the subject should be given more attention. Our correspondent reports from Kenya, where war has been declared on snakebites. 

In this episode, recorded live at AHR Expo 2026, Bryan sits down with Louise from UEi (United Electronics Inc.) for an in-depth conversation about one of the most underestimated dangers in the HVAC trade: carbon monoxide. Rather than treating CO as just another checkmark on a safety list, Bryan and Louise dive into the full history of the gas — all the way back to early publications from 1922 and 1923 that were already studying the effects of low-level CO exposure. One of the most fascinating takeaways from their discussion is just how long the industry has known about the dangers of carbon monoxide, yet how frequently it remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked on the job site. Louise breaks down the science behind CO poisoning in a way that is both accessible and eye-opening. Unlike high-level acute poisoning — where symptoms are immediately obvious — low-level, chronic carbon monoxide exposure is an entirely different beast. It can mimic the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and even heart attack symptoms. Because CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and victims often have no idea what is causing their illness. Compounding the problem is the cumulative nature of CO toxicity: the gas builds up in the bloodstream over time and can linger in the body for days, months, or even years after exposure ends. Bryan draws an entertaining but sobering historical connection between the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning during the Victorian era — when gas lamps were common inside homes — and the widespread reports of ghost sightings, fugue states, fainting spells, and the spiritualist movement of the time. It was almost certainly CO poisoning, not the paranormal. The conversation then shifts to practical, on-the-job guidance for technicians and contractors. Bryan and Louise walk through the proper process for combustion analysis: starting your analyzer outside in fresh air, identifying test ports on furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, and understanding what readings at steady state actually mean. They emphasize that CO production is not limited to furnaces alone — ranges, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, and even propane-powered forklifts are all legitimate sources. One of the most critical points they make is that carbon monoxide hazards are often intermittent and condition-dependent. A system can appear to be working perfectly during one visit and be producing dangerous levels the next time a door is closed or a vent is accidentally blocked. Visual inspection, awareness of combustion air sourcing, and thoughtful analysis are just as important as having the right instruments. On the product side, Louise introduces two exciting new offerings from UEI. The first is the UEI Clip, a compact personal CO detector that clips onto a bag, belt, or lanyard, activates automatically at 20 ppm, and is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it safety device with a two-year sealed battery lifespan. Priced under $100, it is an affordable way to outfit an entire team with a baseline layer of personal protection. The second highlight is the new High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC), a commemorative product celebrating the United States' 250th anniversary. This meter excels at wattage measurement — particularly with low-draw ECM blower motors where most meters fall short — and Bluetooth integration with MeasureQuick is on the horizon. Louise also walks through UEI's revamped combustion analyzer recertification program, UEI Service Plus, which offers same-day turnaround on standard recertifications at their Indianapolis facility, extended warranties with each annual service, and transparent, upfront pricing directly on their website. Topics Covered The history of carbon monoxide research dating back to publications from 1922 and 1923, and a 1923 patent for a hot water heater that sparked a friendly debate between Bryan and Louise about terminology. How low-level, chronic CO exposure is underdiagnosed and can mimic conditions like the flu, chronic headaches, early-onset Alzheimer's, and heart attack symptoms — and why CO builds up cumulatively in the bloodstream. The fascinating historical theory connecting widespread Victorian-era reports of ghosts, fugue states, and fainting spells to chronic carbon monoxide poisoning from indoor gas lamps. CO safety thresholds: residential standard (9 ppm), World Health Organization guideline (4 ppm), first responder evacuation threshold (35 ppm), and how UL-rated home alarms may not trigger until 70 ppm sustained for 1–4 hours. Sources of CO that technicians often overlook, including ovens, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, propane forklifts, generators, and vehicles idling near garages. Proper combustion analysis procedure: starting the analyzer outside in ambient air, identifying or installing test ports, running tests at steady state, and interpreting O2, CO, and stack temperature readings. Industry CO standards for furnaces: official standard (400 ppm), HRI recommendation (200 ppm), industry best practice (100 ppm), and modern high-efficiency benchmarks (50 ppm or less). How combustion air sourcing — and changes to it (new roofs, blocked vents, swapped doors) — is one of the most commonly missed risk factors for CO production. Why even "heat pump markets" like Florida still need combustion analysis, since over 90% of homes have at least one fuel-fired appliance. Introduction of the UEi Clip personal CO detector: set-and-forget, activates at 20 ppm, sealed 2-year battery, priced under $100, and its unexpected popularity among refrigeration technicians. Introduction of the UEi High Accuracy Clamp Meter (HAC) commemorative edition: exceptional accuracy at low current draws (ideal for ECM blower motors), full accessory kit included, and upcoming measureQuick Bluetooth integration. UEi's Service+ combustion analyzer recertification program: same-day turnaround at their Indianapolis lab, extended warranty with each annual service, prepaid UPS shipping labels, and transparent pricing on their website.

This week on the podcast, AgingIN CEO, Susan Ryan, welcomes Kelly Tremblay, PhD, a neuroscientist, World Health Organization advisor, NIH grant reviewer, advocate, and professor. As a first-generation college student, Kelly's path was shaped by lived experience. Growing up with a father who had multiple sclerosis, she became an early advocate for accessibility and healthcare equity. At the University of Washington, Kelly led research focused on the aging brain and collaborated with the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization to help translate science into global health strategies. In this wide-ranging conversation, Susan and Kelly discuss health literacy and Kelly's desire to bridge the gap between research and real life by making science accessible, practical, and actionable. This goal comes to life in the launch of Brain Bytes, a new monthly micro-cast debuting Friday, Feb. 27, with new episodes dropping on the fourth Friday of each month. Designed to deliver bite-sized, evidence-based insights, Brain Bytes will focus on six key areas of brain health: nutrition, hearing loss, vision loss, mood, cognition, and balance Throughout the episode, Kelly reminds us that knowledge is power—but only if it's accessible. Brain Bytes aims to empower listeners with clear, plain-language information that supports better decisions, stronger advocacy, and healthier aging.

Across the global health landscape, governments are facing mounting debt, development assistance is under pressure and the gap between ambition and available resources continues to widen. So how do we mobilize resources differently? What does innovative finance look like? And which approaches are truly scalable, equitable and fit for today's realities? To explore these questions, host Garry Aslanyan speaks with two leaders who have spent decades working at the intersection of health, finance and global cooperation. Christoph Benn is Director for Global Health Diplomacy at Joep Lange Institute. He's a physician who has played a central role in shaping innovative financing mechanisms in global health. And joining him is Patrik Silborn, Senior Advisor at UNICEF Afghanistan, who specializes in development financing in fragile and crisis-affected settings and has led large-scale efforts to mobilize resources beyond traditional aid.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.  Hi there, it's Garry.

In this follow-up to one of their most difficult episode to date, Lauren and Trey sit back down in the chairs just 48 hours later. Often in the world of relationship content, we see the "before" and the "after," but we rarely get to witness the messy, fragile middle. This conversation is a raw demonstration of what it looks like to navigate a major wounding in real-time, without rushing the healing process or demanding a premature return to normal.Trey shares the deep work he has been doing with his professional support, identifying the shadow side that led to his recent dysregulation. He explores the archetypes of the martyr and the victim, and how his fear of being trapped triggered a hostile takeover of his behavior. He discusses the importance of installing early warning systems and taking full ownership of his own mind, rather than expecting his partner to be his therapist.Lauren reflects on the physiological toll of relational trauma and the "horrified clarity" of the past few days. She shares the reality of moving through the world with a "shook" nervous system, experiencing; nausea, poor sleep, and a total lack of sexual desire as her body prioritizes its own safety. She discusses the power of being allowed to take up space in her rage and grief, resisting the patriarchal script that tells women they must hurry up and heal to keep their partners comfortable. Even while continuing her professional work with clients, she is navigating the challenge of remembering her own values and making her own healing a priority.This conversation is a demonstration of how trust is regained through play, structure, and clear limits. They experiment with slow, intentional touch, like a back scratch or laying on a chest, while maintaining a strict timer to protect Lauren's sense of safety. They navigate the reality that sexual desire belongs on the back burner during a season of repair, honoring the first principle of pleasure: the freedom of personal choice. This is an invitation to witness two people choosing to stay in the discomfort of a "critical mass" moment, valuing the slow, honest process of rebuilding over a quick fix.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.

In this episode, Lauren and Trey sit down with a sense of relief and connection, marking their arrival on the "other side" of a major relational crisis. While the proximity to the wound is still close, the air has cleared, and the repair has taken deep root. They reflect on how this journey through conflict differed from their past experiences, moving away from old cycles of defensiveness and into a grounded, shared reality.Lauren shares how impactful it was to be witnessed by her community during the height of the rupture. This external support allowed her to stay anchored in her "queen" energy and maintain her boundaries, rather than collapsing into the role of a victim or feeling the need to nurture Trey through his own growth process.Trey discusses the necessity of updating his internal "software" after recognizing how his shadow side had taken over. He reflects on the power of being held accountable by other men; sharing his struggle with his peers rather than "taking" emotional labor from his partner. This allowed him to hold up a mirror to his own behavior and realize the conflict was a result of his own internal triggers, giving Lauren the necessary space to move through her rage without having to carry his emotional load.They demonstrate how they regained physical intimacy through "May I?" requests, ensuring that every touch, from a kiss on the cheek to holding hands, was a conscious choice and not a relational obligation. They close by celebrating how everyone, including their family and community, benefits from watching a couple work through harm without continuing to wound one another. By modeling this process, they hope to provide the example they never had growing up: two people taking full responsibility for themselves and choosing partnership anew every single day.If you are navigating a difficult season or want to learn how to use tools like the Wheel of Consent to rebuild trust after a rupture, you don't have to do it alone.

According to Gallup's State of the Workplace, 1 in 5 employees currently feel lonely at work. And the World Health Organization estimates 1 in 6 adults worldwide experience significant loneliness. The downstream effects of loneliness at work include poor performance, reduced creativity, and higher absenteeism. Loneliness among young people, in particular Gen Z, has reached an alarming rate. The University of Virginia is home to the Connection Project which trains over 1000 students each year to manage loneliness. Alison Nagel is a licensed clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. She visited William & Mary recently to talk about loneliness and how the Connection Project is equipping students with the tools to feel more connected to others.

In what may be their most vulnerable and raw conversation to date, Lauren and Trey open the record in the middle of a significant relational storm. Recorded just hours after Lauren returned from a high-stakes work trip to New York, this episode finds their marriage in a fragile place following a major conflict that unfolded while they were apart.Trey leads with extreme candor, identifying how he became highly dysregulated and allowed his shadow side to take over. He shares how he leaned into a distorted internal narrative, leading him to lash out at Lauren just as she was reaching a professional milestone.Lauren reflects on the experience of being on the receiving end of these accusations. She explores the pain of having a partner target the very things she is most afraid of, specifically the fear that pursuing her own dreams might negatively impact her family. She shares the difficult experience of having to maintain a professional exterior for her clients while her personal foundation felt incredibly shaky.This conversation is a real-time demonstration of two people moving through a crisis without a frantic need for immediate repair. They navigate the heavy reality of the distance created by this conflict, discussing the natural loss of physical desire that often follows a breach of trust. They model the difficult work of differentiation; where Lauren stays anchored in her own reality rather than trying to fix Trey's behavior, and Trey takes full responsibility for his mental state without expecting his wife to act as his therapist.This is a raw look at what it looks like to stay present in a relationship when things feel most uncertain. It is an invitation to witness how a partnership can navigate intense pain and disagreement while still maintaining a level of respect and observational distance.If you are navigating your own difficult season or struggling to find your way back to safety after a major conflict, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this eye-opening episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew tackle some of the most pressing—and controversial—headlines rocking the world this week. From Big Tech giants like Meta facing landmark lawsuits over the mental health impact of social media on kids, to explosive rumors about cancer cures being unleashed after the US's exit from the WHO, no stone is left unturned. Tom Bilyeu breaks down what's really behind these medical breakthroughs, debunking online conspiracies and explaining the critical roles of the FDA and Big Pharma. The conversation gets real about the unintended consequences of social media on developing minds, whether government intervention is the answer, and how parents can navigate the digital minefield. The hosts also deliver in-depth commentary on global power shifts, including China's economic maneuvers and Japan's political realignment, as well as the seismic advancements in AI technology that are set to reshape creative industries—and possibly life as we know it. To cap it off, Tom Bilyeu and Drew explore SpaceX's renewed focus on building a city on the moon, pondering what it means for humanity's future among the stars.

Adolescent obesity is rapidly turning into a worldwide health emergency. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 160 million children and teenagers ages 5 to 19 are now overweight or obese A new study from the University of Gothenburg collected data from nearly one million Swedish men and found that obese teenagers are more likely to experience severe infections later in life Obesity is a chronic medical condition characterized by excess body fat that impairs health and leads to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, and metabolic issues that tend to worsen over time Body mass index (BMI) has traditionally been the standard for assessing weight and health, but it has come under scrutiny because it frequently misclassifies risk You can tackle obesity at its root by eliminating metabolic health hazards like seed oils and ultraprocessed foods and instead, choosing healthy carbs and walking more

On Saturday, Alex Pretti – a 37-year-old registered nurse at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis – was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents. It's the third shooting in three weeks by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. And as violence from federal law enforcement becomes increasingly more common, it begs the question – who is joining these agencies? A few months ago, freelance journalist Laura Jedeed applied for a job with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And she got a final offer, despite not doing the required paperwork and undergoing what she put as “minimal” vetting. We spoke to Laura before the shooting of Pretti about her background, the ICE recruitment process, and what questions she still has.And in headlines, a partial government shutdown looms as Senate Democrats vow to oppose a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, Trump threatens a new tariff on Canada if the country makes a free trade deal with China, and California steps up after President Trump pulls the U.S. out of the World Health Organization. Show Notes: Check out Laura's Substack – www.firewalledmedia.com/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
