Why does Hollywood seem to shy away from the topic of Christianity? Though the big-box movies often have massive budgets, more thoughtful Christian pieces usually do not get the same attention. Listen up to learn: How Hollywood generally treats the topic of Christianity Why fewer faith-based movies get made How more faith-based productions can find success Actor, Producer, and Director, Kevin Sorbo, shares his experience as a professional in Hollywood standing up for Christianity in a religion-averse environment. Despite the more thoughtful and family-oriented topics and approaches of faith-based movies, very few get the same level of attention given to big-box productions. However, over 80-million households may be waiting for just such works. From strengthening his own faith and the values of others, Kevin Sorbo plans to keep fighting to bring faith-based productions into the mainstream. If we continue the same path we are on, we may pass the tipping point and find ourselves in severe trouble. Visit https://www.sorbostudios.com to learn more.

Can you influence your biological age using science? Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, is asking these questions and is determined to find out how to reverse the aging process with a specific type of molecular testing. GlycanAge looks at a part of human biology that is often ignored: the human glycan. By measuring glycan, we can determine people’s biological age vs chronological age to take steps that may reverse the aging process as a whole. Along with this, glycan testing also shows how the immune system changes with age, and how reducing chronic inflammation is so crucial to overall health.  Listen now as Nikolina Lauc discusses: What glycans are, and how they affect our biological makeup. How you may be able to control your overall health by identifying chronic inflammation early. What the concentration of glycans in our bodies shows us about our body’s overall health and longevity.  Discover this, and much more about biological age testing from someone on the cutting-edge of this molecular research. Additionally, learn about what other diagnostic products GlycanAge has in the pipelines that are more risk-specific.

Can we explain how life emerged and gained cognition through explaining cell origins and evolution? We may be farther off than we currently think. Press play to learn: How we are thought to be cognitive while our cells are not Natural selection's place in the design theory Where the "life" resides in a cell David Galloway, an Honorary Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow, shares his research on the complexities of life and the possibility of design rather than happenstance. The origin of life and our ability to think in the abstract has long been debated. While there have been countless theories over the course of history, two of the primary contenders are random chance and grand design. Natural selection and evolution are generally thought to be the two significant players in the development of life over eons, but there may be a grand cognition that designed this process. By examining common threads that run through almost every aspect of life, we may be able to begin to approach an understanding of the larger plan. Visit https://davidgalloway.co.uk to learn more.

… And we’re not done with “worse” yet. Of course, we’re talking about the current virus situation. But as usual, we’re talking about it in a way you won’t hear from most other media outlets. Tune in to explore: Why Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has altogether stopped testing for the virus in the emergency room The coming rise of wrongful death lawsuits (what they’re about and why) Whether a civil war could be on the horizon How adherence to certain mandates varies greatly from one area to another in the U.S. In the current climate amid the virus situation, some people—about 30% of the U.S. population—are making vicious statements and even threats against others. Why? And will this percentage grow, decrease, or stay the same? What might turn the tide in this virus situation over the coming months or years? Will the main actors just disappear? Will more people continue to die—and if so—from what, exactly? Pamela Popper is Founder and President of Wellness Forum Health, a company that for more than 25 years has been helping people achieve long-term health through informed medical decision-making and diet and lifestyle.

“Food is medicine … There are foods that can heal you and foods that can poison you,” says Achina Stein. She’s an American board-certified psychiatrist with 25+ years of practice experience, and she brings a whole new perspective to the treatment of mental illnesses. Tune in to explore: The connection between inflammation in the body, the foods we eat, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and even psychosis How psychiatric training has changed over the last couple of decades (and whether it’s been for the better or worse) The links between stress, sugar cravings, hypoglycemia, certain chronic infections, and environmental toxins How the U.S. medical system encourages practitioners to make quick decisions rather than truly understand their patients   In her book, What If It’s Not Depression?: Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions, Dr. Stein aims to help people understand that the symptoms of mental disorders can have numerous root causes and that they can be reversed through the use of multiple interventions, including diet, lifestyle, meditation, and spiritual or religious practices. There are so many ways to improve your mental health and your life in general; medication isn't always the answer, and it’s certainly not the only answer. But in all cases, Dr. Stein stresses the importance of making a plan that matches the individual’s personality and where they are in life at that very moment. This means starting with the "low-hanging fruit" and working toward digging into the root causes of their symptoms. Interested in learning more or contacting Dr. Stein?

Can public access to genome sequencing help mitigate overall risk in the future of medicine? With broader availability, new services can help propel testing to new heights. Listen in to learn: Why someone may choose to test their genome sequencing Possible roadblocks in utilizing genetic testing The timeline in the future for Merogenomics Inc. Dr. Mikolaj Raszek, founder and managing director of Merogenomics Inc., shares his work to bring public access to genetic testing. Many folks are familiar with the genetic testing available to the public today, like those designed to examine ancestry and basic medical information. However, if more in-depth testing can be made available to the public, much more beneficial and meaningful data can be disseminated, mitigating significant risks to the patient. If we can examine the genome of any one, we can determine the likelihood of thousands of conditions they may develop in the future. With this knowledge, they can choose to take risk-mitigating action much earlier, hopefully nipping the problem in the bud. Visit https://merogenomics.ca to learn more.

How can geomorphology be used to determine earthquake hazards? By watching the changes in geography over the Earth's history, we can learn to predict future geographic events. Listen up to discover: What geomorphologists study How predictions of stability can be made How Earth scientists can help with future environmental problems Mikael Attal, a geomorphologist at the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh, shares his research and work studying the changes in the Earth's landscape and what these changes can mean for the future. Major geological events like earthquakes can be some of the most significantly changing events on Earth. By studying these changes and how they have affected the geography of an area, we may be able to start making predictions to mitigate risk and attempt to predict significant future events. These studies allow various countries and societies to better prepare for the possibility of natural disasters and save lives. Moreover, by identifying disasters waiting to happen, false senses of security can be shaken, and actual beneficial measures can be taken.
