I did it!
My very own podcast 😳
I procrastinated for awhile but I finally did it!
I’ll link to Spotify and Apple below.
Please listen, rate and write a review please!
Thank you Rhonnie Cough!
I gave you a shout out at the end ❤️❤️❤️
Imagine Christmas every Sunday.
All the stores closed.
Everyone assuming its a day for church, family, and rest.
All of society comes to a halt and takes inventory of what's really important.
"This is Marcus, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Fallujah from 2007 to 2009. Home eight years, he still gets night terrors every single night - waking up screaming three to four times before sunrise. His girlfriend moved into the spare bedroom two years ago out of safety.
His VA therapist recommended a trained PTSD service dog. The waitlist: four years. The cost: $35,000 he didn't have. So six months ago, Marcus adopted Duke, a five-year-old chocolate Lab, from the county shelter - surrendered because his last owner said he was "too needy at night."
The first week Duke came home, Marcus had a 3 AM nightmare. Duke jumped onto the bed unasked and laid his full 90 pounds across Marcus's chest - deep pressure therapy.
Marcus woke up without screaming for the first time in years, found Duke staring at him, and cried holding him.
Now Duke does this automatically, every single night, the moment Marcus shows the first signs. His therapist reviewed the bedroom camera footage and said: "Duke is performing textbook deep pressure therapy for nightmare interruption. That's exactly what we train $35,000 service dogs to do. He's doing it instinctively."
The "too needy" behavior that got Duke returned to the shelter is the exact trait saving Marcus's life every night. One shelter's reject is one veteran's lifeline.
Sorry. But duh. Not only are chemical sunscreens full of chemicals, but they cause hyperpigmentation and block necessary sun exposure for vitamin D synthesis.

🚨WOW!!!
A woman spotted a 64-year-old Navy veteran limping across an airport tarmac on hurting knees while caring for his 90-year-old mama in hospice
Then over 6,000 strangers raised $180,000 so he can finally retire, get knee surgery, and care for his 90-year-old mama.
That woman she flew back and hand-delivered the check to his door. ❤️
His name is James Blair.
He served in the United States Navy from 1980 to 1990.
He sat on a carrier with planes loaded, twenty minutes from launching against Iran during the hostage crisis, waiting on President Reagan's word.
He came home and never stopped working. LAX for 13 years and then John Wayne Airport for 20 more years.
He has been fueling planes, moving stairs, in rain or shine.
"I've been doing this job for 20 years... and I just didn't think anybody actually cared."
The work destroyed his knees, but he kept going.
His plan? "Work until I physically can't."
Because his 90-year-old mother is in hospice... and he takes care of her and pay the bills.
Then on May 21, a Utah woman named LaCinda Thackeray looked out the gate window and saw him limping on his hurt knees outside of her airplane window.
She was flying home from a funeral, carrying her own grief, but saw James limping and she filmed him and asked the internet: "Does anyone know this man?
"Watching him work so hard, he could barely move... I know there has to be a way we can help him retire."
MILLIONS watched the video and then 6,000 strangers from all over the world donated more than $180,000.
Then LaCinda flew BACK to California and knocked on his door with the check.
"I'm at a loss for words," he said.
His mama's hospice care is covered.
His knee surgery is coming.
And a veteran who thought nobody cared just found out SIX THOUSAND people do.
GOD BLESS James Blair and GOD BLESS LaCinda Thackeray.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now.
I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately pissed off.
They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it.
No true accountability.
No true mass deportations.
No meaningful decrease in the deficit.
Lots of very long vacations and no work.
No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives.
I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don’t see coming.
People are pissed off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want.
Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised?
Where is the SAVE ACT?
Why haven't we defunded the Taliban yet?
Why are bills passing the House and then disappear in the Senate?
Why are the GOP still funding Left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans?
Why are members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations?
People are waking up and they aren't happy about it.
People believed they were voting for the Trump agenda. and instead, many feel like they’re getting the same old Washington.
If Republicans in Congress don’t start producing tangible results, they’re going to discover that frustration has consequences...
...And by the time they realize how deep-seeded that frustration is, it may already be too late.
Bateman: "I married a friend, as opposed to a girlfriend. That was a big one for me because... the girlfriends that you had before this current marriage you're in didn't last. You break up with girlfriends. I found that I didn't break up with friends."

🚨#BREAKING: A 14-year-old boy on a bike ride is being hailed as a hero after he SAVED THE LIFE of a grandmother with dementia who was LOST, wandering the road in 103-degree Arizona heat.
The boy stopped, walked her into the shade and then he gently helped her remember her son's phone number and called him.
She has dementia.
She was MILES from home.
He saved her life. ❤️
The 14-year-old's name is Royal Cothrun, from Gilbert, Arizona.
He was riding his bike in triple-digit heat when he saw 75-year-old Teresa Morgan on the side of the road and something just told him to stop.
"She just looked like something was wrong, so I started talking to her."
Teresa was recently diagnosed with dementia, and she'd gone to the grocery store, gotten disoriented, and wandered miles from home in the intense heat.
Royal got her into the shade and sat with her... and patiently, gently, helped her pull her son's phone number out of her memory.
On the video, you can hear him: "Maybe we can try to call him on my phone?"
He called her son. Her son raced over. The fire department got there right after.
Her son's words: "It's incredible what he did. It's so fortunate that he ran across her... and he CARED enough to stay with her."
The fire captain said the outcome "would have been much, much worse" without him.
And his mama? "Super proud, obviously. He was calm. He was compassionate."
She says helping people is just who her boy IS.
The fire department and the Air National Guard are honoring him.
The next generation isn't lost, folks, some of them are out here saving our grandparents.
GOD BLESS Royal Cothrun and God bless the mamas raising boys like this.

🚨WOW!!!
Two 13-year-old boys on a summer bike ride spotted something in a yard and turned around...
...what they was found an elderly woman who had been trapped on the ground for 16 HOURS, and they SAVED HER LIFE!!!
No phone. No water. All night in the dark.
They called 911 and saved her life, medics said that had only a few more hours gone by, she'd have been gone.
This is Fruitland, Iowa.
Gunner Skidmore and Kohen Chick, both 13, best friends.
They were pedaling toward Muscatine when Kohen said, "You see that lady back there?"
Gunner didn't, but they turned around anyway.
It took them a while to even find her, but then eventually came upon an elderly neighbor, lying in the grass.
She'd fallen feeding her horse at 5 p.m... THE DAY BEFORE.
All night on the ground.
No phone.
No water.
Covered in bugs.
She had dragged and rolled herself from the backyard to the front yard, praying somebody passing by would see her.
Somebody did. Two somebodies. On bikes.
"Hey ma'am, are you OK?"
"I need help. Call 911."
They did and the ambulance came, and she's getting the care she needs.
...but they didn't just save her life, they also made a new best friend!
Gunner's mama has been going over to feed and water that woman's horse every single day while she recovers and she brought her lasagna when she got back home.
The next generation isn't lost, folks.
Some of them are out here being the answer to an old woman's prayers on a Tuesday morning.
GOD BLESS Gunner and Kohen and God bless the parents raising kids like this.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
People get strangely angry when I question the calorie model.
I’ve spent years studying nutrition and functional medicine, so this is coming from education, not ignorance.
Energy matters. Nobody is denying that.
But you do not eat calories.
You eat food.
You do not literally burn calories.
Your body processes food.
That is why 2000 calories of steak, eggs, and butter eaten once or twice a day does not act the same as 2000 calories of cereal, toast, muffins, and biscuits eaten six times a day.
Every time you eat, insulin goes up.
Six meals, six insulin spikes.
One or two meals, far fewer.
That matters.
Protein also takes more energy to digest.
It fills you up more.
You eat less without fighting yourself all day.
Human biology is regulated by hormones, appetite signals, digestion, and food quality, not just arithmetic.
So calorie counting “works” because you are eating less food.
That is it.
You are attaching a number to food and using that number to control how much food you eat.
The number did not do anything.
The food did.
Then people stop counting, eat more food again, and put the weight back on.
If calories were all that mattered, six sugary meals would do the same thing as one or two meals of eggs and steak.
They do not.
That is the part people do not want to admit.
