This week there is a big elephant in the room that we must start talking about: Defeat. Host Rick Wilson stresses the importance of continuing to fight the corruption of Trump and his allies despite the electoral defeat. As the groundwork for authoritarianism is already being laid with Trump’s most recent cabinet selections, Rick reminds listeners who some of these people, such as Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, really are.

Every 12 years, our skeletons undergo a complete transformation.

Prof. Tim Spector and Prof. Cyrus Cooper discuss how to avoid Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile, significantly increases the risk of fractures from minor incidents, often without any noticeable symptoms. Worldwide, it affects one in three women and one in five men over fifty, leading to pain, potential disability and loss of independence.

In today’s episode, Jonathan, Tim and Cyrus ask the question: How can understanding osteoporosis and implementing targeted lifestyle changes enhance bone health and reduce the risk of fractures?

Cyrus Cooper is a Professor of Rheumatology at the University of Southampton, where he is also the Director of the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit and Vice-Dean of Medicine. In addition, he’s a Professor of Musculoskeletal Science at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford.

Tim Spector is one of the world’s top 100 most-cited scientists, a professor of epidemiology, and scientific Co-Founder at ZOE. Tim trained originally in rheumatology and epidemiology.

Calling out the GOP's false mirage of doom and gloom as projected in early voting and polling this cycle, Rick addresses the gaslighting, fear-mongering GOP Bullsh*t Artists for who they are and what they're good for...producing complete and utter "bullsh*t." What is currently being put out in the media is not even close to the full picture. So, hang tight, happy warriors. Be like Churchill's fighter pilots during WWII. Show up. Vote. Do your duty. They can't stop ALL of us. Your country depends on you.
