In "Eat Everything," readers can discover the secret Dr. Sherling stumbled upon while on vacation in Italy as the key to conquering her own irritable bowel syndrome symptoms in this straightforward guide to eating just about everything (yes, even bread, pasta, and ice cream!) without pain, worry, or guilt. Offering a better alternative to complicated, minimally effective, and highly restrictive diets, Dr. Sherling lays out compelling new evidence implicating food additives as the real culprits behind diet-related diseases and shares simple, actionable advice to heal. In this refreshing and accessible guide, readers will learn how to lose weight without a restrictive diet, how to navigate eating at restaurants-for any meal or occasion, tips for filling our grocery bags with REAL food, and how to embrace healthful cooking at home, with 25 delicious recipes. "We're constantly told to fear carbs, gluten, and dairy, and we turn to strict diets to solve our health problems," says Sherling. "Yet Americans still have one of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes in the world, and millions suffer from digestive ailments like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)." A graduate of the Yale University School of Medicine, former Instructor in Medicine at Harvard University, and board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and dedicated to combating the digestive illness epidemic in America and around the world, Dr. Sherling unpacks the science behind why emulsifiers and additives in the typical American diet are responsible for many digestive illnesses and diseases, and walks readers through simple, easy ways to reclaim their health without a restrictive diet. Digging into emerging research, Dr. Sherling realized it's not the foods but the food additives, especially emulsifiers, that are at the root of our problems - additives that our bodies can't digest that are everywhere in the ultra-processed foods that make up about half of our daily diets. "A trip to Italy taught me what real food and feeling good about food can look like," says Sherling. "It isn't mysterious or difficult; it just takes a reframing of how we choose to eat. I hope that the millions of people that are suffering with diet-related diseases can find the relief I did and stop blaming themselves for their ailments. We have a lot of healing to do and we can do it one bite at a time."

Studies have shown that friendships can affect your cardiovascular health, your immune system, your cognitive health and even the rate at which your cells age. Yet Americans increasingly report that they have fewer close friends. According to a Gallup poll, three percent of Americans in 1990 said they had no close friends. In 2021, that number rose to 12 percent — a fourfold increase. Guest host Chris Farrell talks with two experts about why friendship is so important and how we can form and strengthen the ties of friendship in our lives.  Guests: Rebecca Adams is a professor and the gerontology undergraduate coordinator in the Department of Social Work at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. She studies older adult friendship.  Craig Sawchuk is a psychologist and co-chair of Clinical Practice and the Division of Integrated Behavioral Health at Mayo Clinic.

Tomorrow, President Biden heads to Saudi Arabia as part of his much-anticipated trip to the Middle East. Countering Iran, resetting Saudi Arabia's relations with Israel, the civil war in Yemen, and, of course, skyrocketing oil prices, are all on the table. Yet Americans across the aisle have been quick to condemn Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia for lending legitimacy to a regime accused of human rights abuses in Yemen and the killing of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Can the United States still lead with its democratic values while cooperating with authoritarian regimes?Aaron David Miller,  a senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program and the host of Carnegie Connects, joins Doug this week to unpack Biden's complicated visit to Saudi Arabia and the future of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. A veteran State Department diplomat, Aaron also gives his take on how and if the United States can still lead with its values in the 21st century.Aaron David Miller. (2022, July 7).

Doug Casey, Chen Lin and Dr. Quinton Hennigh return. Not only rhetoric but policies of the Biden Administration look more akin to those of fascist and/or communist dictatorships than a free market capitalist system. While America never had a perfectly free market capitalist system, thanks to both Republican and Democrat parties, it is now hard to discern economic policies much different from fascist and communist governments as our choice to engage in commerce is increasingly regulated by big government. Nor do Americans seem to care much about civil liberties as evidenced by the demolition of our First Amendment rights through Big Tech censorship aimed at giving in to the Democrat party dictatorial power. As the middle class dwindles and the top 1% own nearly all of America's wealth, the middle class is rapidly moving toward abject poverty as stimulus checks from “Uncle Joe” are quickly losing value thanks to QE programs, one after another. Yet Americans who vote on either side of the isle tend to make their decisions not on the basis of classical logic but on emotions. Doug will help us ferret out what has led to a decline in America's living standards. Is it the capitalist system that has failed or is it the fault of the politicians that simply pulled the stable construct of capitalism out from under its foundation? I look forward to Doug's answers to those questions as well as where he thinks the world is heading to and how you should prepare. Quinton will update us on the progress Lion One Metals as it moves toward test mining its high-grade alkaline gold deposit in Fiji. Chen will share his thoughts about 2022 as we start the new year and offer some investment suggestions in the biotech and gold mining sectors.

We are all taught, some may even say forced, from a very early age that we should chase our dreams. Why a right of center nation such as America would ever entertain such a notion, I personally will never understand. Achieving one's dreams is a leftist notion that has nothing to do with centrism and certainly nothing to do with conservatism. Just take a look at the definition of the term liberalism: willingness to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; openness to new ideas; the holding of political views that are socially progressive and promote social welfare; a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise. All of these wonderful things that many Americans often claim, incorrectly, to support (democracy, civil liberties, free enterprise, new ideas, and the like) are very much discouraged by Americans in general, whether they be on team red or team blue. The political right, of course, means conservatism and conservatism argues for a strict adherence to traditional values, while centrism is specifically opposed to any kind of social change and often seeks to destroy social changes made earlier in a nation's history. Yet Americans are always prattling on, lying about how they support people who chase their dreams. America, as a nation, is enormously confused about its political identity. It promotes itself as the land of opportunity, while restricting the ability of those in poverty to achieve their career goals. America brazenly declares itself to be the land of the free, while only ever protecting the rights of the few who are in power or who just happen to have enough money to fund those who are in power. This is a nation that will say give me liberty or give me death in one breath and then lick the boots of those who would take away their liberty during election season. America is a nation of mixed messages; it is a nation of pretense and fables. Liberalism has been demonized beyond repair at this point. Americans will not even listen to you if you say you are a liberal, not seriously anyway. Yet one of America's favorite novels, George Orwell's 1984, was written by a liberal libertarian. The entire nation is based on contrariness and so it should come as no surprise that American dreams often become horrific nightmares. But you would not know that because there are all kinds of propaganda in America (reality television shows, Disney movies, game shows, talent shows, children's books, celebrity success stories, rags to riches fantasies, etc.) that make the argument that if you can dream it, you can do it. Well, that simply is not so, not when you live in a country that is so terrified of anything new or different that it fantasizes about the communist implications of Big Bird or the Satanic tendencies of Pokemon or the possibility that "Big Pharma" is trying to kill off its patients with vaccines. Dreams are not allowed in America. Americans desire practicality, pragmatism, a dreary, dull, consistently boring state of numbness and blandness. In order to dream you have to be an innovator, but in America the same movie is made a million times a year, the same book is written everyday and the same stories are endlessly poured through in the news. Americans claim to be proud of "diversity", but really they are boasting about their suppression of it. "Just look at how we've Americanized this culture. Now isn't that impressive?", Americans cry out in unison. And so that is why I tell people not to dream in America because those dreams will become nothing more than a repetitive, torturous nightmare. In America, you must live your dream. You must put it into practice as a kind of magnum opus dedicated to your passions and drives. If you are like me and you are an artist, then live your art. Do not dream about it for it will only be a matter of time before some Debbie downer comes along and rains all over your parade. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/morecontentplease/support

In conversation with journalist Soledad O'Brien, the historians discuss the stories found in their anthology, ‘Four Hundred Souls,' and what a “community history” can reveal. It's impossible to tell the complete story of the United States of America without talking about the experience of Black Americans. Yet Americans can't agree on exactly how much of that history should be taught in our schools.  The Black experience has played a part in the long-accepted version of American History. The Underground Railroad, Jim Crow laws and the Civil Rights movement, for instance, are all parts of the country's story that should be familiar to most Americans.  But now, a new generation of historians and journalists are bringing forward the experiences of more Black Americans, revealing that there is much more to their stories.   For this episode of the Crosscut Talks podcast, we feature a conversation from the 2021 Crosscut Festival with Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, two leading lights in the effort to deepen Americans' understanding of the Black experience and the country's history. In conversation with journalist Soledad O'Brien, they discuss why this history is essential and how it came together. --- Credits Host: Mark Baumgarten Event producers: Jake Newman, Andrea O'Meara Engineers: Chi Lee, Resti Bagcal, Viktoria Ralph

By the end of 2020, the population of the world was approximately 7.8 billion. According to the World Health Organization, one in three people in the world does not even have access to an improved water source. This means approximately 2.6 billion people on our planet do not have access to a safe water supply. In contrast, according the the Center for Disease Control (CDC) the United States has the safest water supply on the plant. Yet Americans are obsessed with drinking bottled water. In fact, in 2016 bottled water sales surpassed that of soft drinks for the first time. But why are we obsessed with drinking bottled water? It is a combination of clever predatory marketing practices backed by advertising budgets ranging in the billions. Additionally, the simple fact is that your local municipality does not have such a budget to convince you that their tap water is actually safe to drink. Yet numerous studies over time have revealed numerous significant and unhealthy contaminates in bottled water. But we are deceived into thinking it is safer, cleaner, and even healthier than tap water which is delivered right to your home for almost free.  The global bottled water industry is set be valued at $350 billion dollars by the end of 2021. Americans alone spend about $16 billon annually on bottled water. That means we spend $6.15 annually for every person on the planet that does not even have access to a safe water supply.Imagine the change that could occur if only a small amount of the money were donated annually to fund education on sustainable projects.Bottom line, we are NOT being sold a safer, cleaner, healthier product. We are being sold a bottle of deception.

Nothing in the US Constitution mandates or guarantees a two-party political system. Yet Americans are accustomed to understanding the political landscape as a binary of Democrats and Republicans; third parties are rarely taken seriously, particularly on the national scale. Members and candidates of political third parties, like the Green Party, argue that this is bad for democracy. With an increasing share of the electorate -- particularly young people -- growing disenchanted with the existing parties, third parties represent an opportunity to re-engage independent voters in civic life by better representing their worldviews and preferences. That’s why the typical Green Party platform reads like that of a very progressive Democrat, calling for deep investment in transformative climate policy, an end to all wars, and major social safety net expansion, plus electrical reforms that make third party candidates more visible and viable choices in the voting booth.    In this episode, which was written and recorded before the November 3 election, Talk Policy To Me reporter Reem Rayef spoke with Jake Tonkel, a biomedical engineer who ran for San Jose City Council as a member of the Green Party. Jake shared his perspective on the positionality of local and national Green Party candidates in the political sphere, the damaging narrative around spoiler candidates, and the Green Party’s theory of change. Jake also charted a course for elevating the profile of the Green Party, and other non-major parties, through targeted electoral and ballot access reforms.  Related Resources  Video from Vox on the benefits of multi-party systems Article by Briahna Joy Gray on “Vote Blue No Matter Who” politics, and their costs to democracy  Document from the National Association of Secretaries of State detailing ballot access rules for every state CSPAN interview with Green Party Presidential Candidate Howie Hawkins Jake Tonkel’s campaign site 

Americans are obsessed with liberty, mad about liberty. On any day, we can tune into arguments about how much liberty we need to buy a gun or get an abortion, to marry who we want or adopt the gender we feel. We argue endlessly about liberty from regulation and observation by the state, and proudly rebel against the tyranny of course syllabi and Pandora playlists. Redesign the penny today and the motto would read, “You ain't the boss of me.” Yet Americans are only now awakening to what is perhaps the gravest domestic threat to our liberties in a century—in the form of an extreme and fast-growing concentration of economic power. Monopolists today control almost every corner of the American economy. The result is not only lower wages and higher prices, hence a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few. In Liberty From All Masters: The New American Autocracy vs. the Will of the People (St. Martin's Press, 2020), Barry C. Lynn argues that the result is also a stripping away of our liberty to work how and where we want, to launch and grow the businesses we want, to create the communities and families and lives we want. The rise of online monopolists such as Google and Amazon—designed to gather our most intimate secrets and use them to manipulate our personal and group actions—is making the problem only far worse fast. Not only have these giant corporations captured the ability to manage how we share news and ideas with one another, they increasingly enjoy the power to shape how we move and play and speak and think.

Americans are obsessed with liberty, mad about liberty. On any day, we can tune into arguments about how much liberty we need to buy a gun or get an abortion, to marry who we want or adopt the gender we feel. We argue endlessly about liberty from regulation and observation by the state, and proudly rebel against the tyranny of course syllabi and Pandora playlists. Redesign the penny today and the motto would read, “You ain’t the boss of me.” Yet Americans are only now awakening to what is perhaps the gravest domestic threat to our liberties in a century—in the form of an extreme and fast-growing concentration of economic power. Monopolists today control almost every corner of the American economy. The result is not only lower wages and higher prices, hence a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few. In Liberty From All Masters: The New American Autocracy vs. the Will of the People (St. Martin's Press, 2020), Barry C. Lynn argues that the result is also a stripping away of our liberty to work how and where we want, to launch and grow the businesses we want, to create the communities and families and lives we want.

Do cops belong in schools?The answer is obvious: No. Yet Americans have spent the last seven decades increasing their presence in institutions of education, to devastating results. We discuss chapter three in Alex Vitale's 'The End of Policing' (which you can download for just $3 from Verso Books!), while incorporating some local flair. Longtime Sacramento residents may remember 25 years ago, when Sacramento County sheriff's deputies terrorized students at Encina High School: pepper spraying, punching and throwing as many kids as they could get their hands on. (Fun fact: now-Sheriff Scott Jones makes a cameo on the KCRA news clip, lying through his teeth about what actually happened.) This traumatized many Encina students, and shaped how they viewed police for the rest of their lives. Back then Sacramentans made excuses for the cops. Today, things are different. The region is asking serious questions about if they really belong as an occupying force in our schools. Last fall, Sacramento City Unified School District cut its policing contract by more than half. Two school board members--Leticia Garcia and Mai Vang--voted against it because they wanted police completely out. Vang, who is running for Sacramento City Council in District 8, has also signed a pledge to never take campaign contributions from cops. Enjoy! And keep an eye out for the 1995 clip of sheriff's deputies terrorizing the high school.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the amount of income earned by the rich is arithmetically impossible to use tax revenue to fund all of the free programs proposed by leftwing Democrats running for president. Then, with support from the New York Times and the Washington Post leftists keep pushing Medicare For All but it’s a lie. They will, eventually, destroy Medicare in the name of "human rights." Yet Americans aren't flocking to Canada, Cuba, or England where socialized medicine is a right. Later, the attack on justice continues with prison reform. Governor Gavin Newsom launches a new attack on police with an initiative to eliminate "reasonable use" of force and replace it with a "necessary use." After, we keep hearing that after talking to the NRA President Trump changed his idea on gun control. Maybe he changed his mind because he knew it wouldn’t work? Do the media ever say that democrats changed their idea on abortion after calling planned parenthood? No. Finally, the Washington Post gets called out on their lies about Trump in their article, Trump says any Jewish people who vote for Democrats are showing ‘great disloyalty’ or ‘lack of knowledge.’ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Proverbs picture a wise person as one who doesn't squander every last dollar like a prodigal child. They leave an inheritance for their children's children. Yet Americans have nothing left to save. The vast majority, despite the shocking wealth of our time, are living in debt. Why? Because we are trying to save ourselves from boredom (new toys), from being average (new clothes, bigger homes), from sadness (vacations and upgraded phones). Yet, the short-term pleasure doesn't last long and we end up needing to be saved. But God saves. Jesus' atoning work saves us from being separated from God. In his presence we find the secret of being content and are able to spend less and save more.

Over half of American startups valued at $1 billion or more have at least one immigrant founder. When it comes to the Fortune 500, 40% were founded by either immigrants or the children of immigrants. The tech community argues that certain immigration policies proposed by President Donald Trump could hurt their ability to compete by closing down their access to international talent. Yet Americans workers across the country remain fearful that with so many people coming from outside the U.S. to work, there won’t be enough jobs for them as a result. In this episode, Chip and Caroline sit down Cloudera co-founder and CTO Amr Awadallah to unpack the giant chasm between how the middle of the country views immigrants and the coasts and the tech community do. Awadallah, an immigrant from Egypt, discusses his own rise in Silicon Valley, the tech talent crunch and how this whole discussion is about to get a lot more heated as automation continues to take over more jobs.

Cut the BS - Fake News: Most people wonder about ‘Truth in Advertising' and there's even a spoof on YouTube about the lack thereof.  But, what about Truth in the reporting of news?From August to November 2016, fake stories earned more shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook than real news stories. A Pew Research Center poll found that 64% of Americans believe fake news is causing “a great deal of confusion” about the basic facts of current events. As Pew explained, “[fake news] makes it harder for any of us to have a shared view of the facts.” This concern transcends political parties—roughly six-in-ten Republicans and Democrats agree that fake news causes a “great deal of confusion.”Yet Americans say they're not fooled by fake news. Thirty-nine percent are “very confident” they can recognize news that is fabricated. An additional 45% feel “somewhat confident.”But an Ipsos poll for Buzzfeed News found that 75% of Americans who recognized a fake news story from the election still viewed the story as accurate. Respondents were shown six headlines—three false and three true. If they recalled seeing the story before, they were asked if the headline was accurate. Respondents believed the fake headlines were “somewhat” or “very” accurate 75% of the time. One made-up story (“Donald Trump Sent His Own Plane to Transport 200 Stranded Marines”) was viewed as accurate by 84% of respondents.A Stanford University study similarly found that Americans rarely recognize false stories or biased sources.What do we think needs done to fix this?Seventy-one percent of Americans believe that sites like Facebook should take steps to stop fake news. Facebook obviously has an incredible impact on what we talk about with 1.8 billion monthly users. Nearly half of American adults obtain news from Facebook.Facebook recently announced they will partner with third-party fact checkers to flag fake articles and alert users before they share fake news. A red warning sign reading, “Disputed by 3rd Party Fact-Checkers” will display below fake stories. If a user tries to share the story, a similar warning pops up with a link to the fact checker's article. Facebook will also “rank ‘disputed' stories lower in news feed and will not allow ‘disputed' stories to be turned into ads and promoted.” Meanwhile, Google has said it would prevent websites selling fake news from using its advertising network. These steps will surely help readers identify fake news and slow its spread.That's a good step to help us out. But we need to do some work to. Let's take a little time to look beyond Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to gather content. Let's go just a little bit deeper than headlines and soundbites so we can gain more of an understanding of the real story. Yes, we all have biases so every outlet will too. But it doesn't hurt to gather multiple points of view. And despite the backlash against the “mainstream media” which by the way is a bullshit term that I'll address in another rant because there are mainstream outlets on both sides of the political aisle…but I digress…despite the criticism of “mainstream media,” those outlets still adhere to fact checking and other long-standing journalistic practices.We all need to play our part in reducing the impact of fake news. Take the time to weed out the nonsense and cut the bullshit.Interview with Don MarinelliOn today's episode I sit down with Don Marinelli, currently the Director of Innovation at 535media/Inven Global, and a man who has taken his study of drama down an unconventional career path into computer science and technology.
