intake

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on February 15th 2024. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio Play.

Presenter: Roza Bicer

Producer: Dave Russell

We live in the age of anxiety. Let's be honest about it.

It is almost marketed to us through the stations that are supposed to be giving us our information. They actually engage us using fear tactics so they can sell advertising time, often promoting the same drug and pharmaceutical companies that are owned by the same conglomerates that push out the information that is designed to make us anxious.

How do we overcome the spirit of anxiety? How do we push through those moments when we are so worked up that we feel like the entire world is closing in on us and we feel so out of control?

That's what I want to discuss this week. I want to take you through a seven-point test answering the question "Why am I anxious?" and hopefully help us to get past this point of answering that question with somebody else's name, and hopefully get us past the point of answering that question by mentioning something that is happening that is outside of our control, and hopefully to get us to the place where we can see that not only is God watching over my life, but He truly cares where it ends.

God has his surveillance system in every situation of our life. He will not suffer my foot to be moved. The Bible calls Him  "The Lord which keepeth thee…" He has 24/7 surveillance on us. I know how us parents don’t like it when somebody talks about one of our kids. God feels that way about you times a thousand, and He's watching out for you.

So why are we anxious if our Father knows our needs? Why are we anxious if He has numbered the hairs on our head? Why are we anxious if He promised to supply every need?

If you are struggling with those answers, this episode is for you! This is part 1 of a 2-part series on anxiety. We'll drop part 2 next week.

You can visit my website at www.connectingthegap.net for all the platforms I am on and to reach out. I'd love to hear from you! Please subscribe and share and have a blessed week!

This week I'm excited to welcome Martin Silva back to the podcast. Martin is a transformation coach, award-winning fitness model, public speaker, and podcaster. His focus and commitment with a holistic approach to long-term health sets him apart from his peers. In this episode, we talk about the latest nutritional trends, including daily protein intake, supplements, fasting, and meal timing. Over to Martin.

(01:12)

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Martin Silva back to the podcast. Martin, mate, how are you?

Martin

(01:19)

I'm really good, thanks, my man. How are you?

Stu

(01:22)

Yeah, very good. Very good. It's been too long, so really, really keen to tap into some of your wisdom today. But first up, for any of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, haven't listened to any of... I think we've done two or three previous episodes, which have been packed full of the most amazing information on body transformation, health and wellness, all of that stuff. I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Martin

(01:48)

Sure, yeah. Thanks again for having me on, Stu. Really, really appreciate it. [inaudible 00:01:51] just set off here then. I'm sure I've been on this podcast more than Stu, this is like my fifth time or something. Awesome. Yeah, a little bit more about myself. As some of the audience might know, I'm huge... Health and fitness is my life essentially, so I live, breathe, and eat a healthy lifestyle, and I've built a career out of that as well. And I've been within the fitness industry for 15, 16 years now. It sounds crazy, but I still feel like I'm in my early twenties, but I'm actually coming up to 36 now. And I was a qualified personal trainer from the age of 20, and always played sports from a young age, and I've always been just so passionate about fitness.

(02:28)

And now it's got to the point where I always say to people, something might start off as your passion, but then it becomes your purpose. Now it's literally, it's my purpose, and what I'm doing now, obviously with the transformation program and everything else... Because I was a personal trainer face-to-face for about 13 years, and then I built an online transformation program, actually just before COVID happened, about three years ago, and I'm having a much bigger impact this way as well. Because as we talked about before, and we'll talk about today, really helping people change their mindset, really upgrade the way they think, and just basically think at a better level, and change their relationship with food and alcohol, which we all know, the stuff outside of the gym... A lot of my clients love the gym part. You know what I mean? That's the fun part. But the stuff outside of the gym, some of them have had more struggles than others in terms of behavior change and everything else.

(03:19)

But a bit more about myself. I moved over to Oz just like Stu did quite a few years ago. I haven't been here as long as Stu, but I've been here for six years now. So moved over to Oz, came over here for a year from Wales in the UK, and fast-forward six years, I'm still here, permanent resident now, and living in Sydney, living the dream. And Stu's living even more of the dream up there in Byron Bay, you know what I mean? So we can't complain, mate.

Medieval monks and modern business school profs agree that our bone-deep addition to distracting ourselves is keeping us from happiness, meaning and productivity. Which perhaps will be no surprise to people listening to a podcast called The Pocket Contemplative! That said, Dave Schmelzer dives into the wisdom from those monks and professors and how it might both cheer you up and empower a fresh way forward.

Today we hear the Combat Story of Scott “Intake” Kartvedt who was such a proficient pilot that he was handpicked to be one of two stunt pilots in Top Gun: Maverick. Intake has over 6,000 flight hours, much of that in the F/A-18 Hornet, to include combat command of an F/A-18 Squadron. Intake’s story is remarkable as he went from accountant to Naval Aviator to Blue Angel to Top Gun Maverick to making another movie in South Africa with Tom Cruise. 

When the Navy needed to select its very first pilot to lead the first stealth fighter squadron of F-35s, they chose Intake. Before commanding in combat, Intake was a member of the storied Blue Angels where he flew Opposing Solo which put him less than 10 feet from his wingman in air shows at at a combined closing speed of over 1,000 mph (see more about Opposing Solo maneuvers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCnYTPAo550).

Intake had the misfortune of investigating the fatal accidents of his friends and fellow pilots and survived several near death experiences, including a straight dive that he pulled out of at 27 feet above the ground. 

He serves on the board of the Blue Angel Foundation where they’re trying to prevent veteran suicide. You can donate at https://www.blueangelsfoundation.org/ (I donated as well) to help the cause.

Intake is a special combat veteran who is infuriatingly humble and open about the expectations and challenges of a life in the most elite community of aviators and I know you’ll enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted healthcare virtualization into a higher gear across multiple industry segments and workflow areas. Telemedicine might be the catch-all term for modern, digital communications between providers and patients, but a big opportunity awaits organizations — patient intake.

Greg Kefer and Justin Mardjuki sat down in our virtual studio to discuss how providers are finally doing away with paper and giving patients mobile solutions to share their health information, complete forms, and engage virtually. A virtual waiting room capability is one of the most promising innovations to emerge out of the COVID-19 crisis.

Dr. Stuart M. Phillips is an award-winning professor at McMaster University’s Department of Kinesiology, the Director of the Physical Activity Centre of Excellence (PACE) and the McMaster Centre for Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Research, and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health. 

Dr. Phillips is one of the most sought after and well-respected researchers on the impact of nutrition and exercise on muscle and muscle protein turnover.

Listen to my previous episodes with Stuart HERE.

In this week’s podcast, Stuart Phillips talks about protein requirements, protein intake for optimizing muscle hypertrophy, diet and nutrition, an 80/20 template for maximal muscle gain, and much more.

Questions we ask in this episode:

Working in a dispensary requires a very specialized skill set, so owners often like to promote from within.  However, a good budtender doesn’t always automatically make a good manager - support from upper management is vital to help newly-promoted budtenders succeed. We discuss coaching tips that managers can use to effectively advance the entire dispensary team toward professional & personal fulfillment.
