  What is the Limbic System – Search Videos (bing.com)

When the best “functional medicine” doctors couldn’t help me, I was forced to turn my healing over to Jesus… The crazy thing is how mold, EMF, and chemicals don’t even phase me anymore!

I figured this out the hard way when I was hit with over 18 health challenges after being exposed to toxic mold. I had to quit my nursing job and went to dozens of doctors searching for the answer.

I eventually became a functional health coach so I could run my own labs on myself and truly get to the answer.

And I practiced what I preached.

I avoided all kinds of places because of my sensitivities. I tried and errored with over a dozen diets, hundreds of supplements, and dozens of labs. I obsessed over my symptoms and how I felt with certain foods.

It got to the point where I was only able to tolerate 2 foods because of severe sensitivities.

This led me to being very underweight. My doctors constantly asked me if I had an eating disorder which always brought me to tears. I couldn’t sleep. I had zero energy and pretty bad brain fog. I even had gut pain and constipation.

I was diagnosed with mold illness, CIRS, SIBO, parasites, Lyme, and the list goes on.

Then.. God led me to brain rewiring and neuroplasticity.

I knew this was the answer when I saw more results in 2 weeks than I had seen in years of following the old rules. So, I went all in and started to fully implement my discovery.

I completely gave up supplements, labs, and internet searches about my symptoms.

And I saved a ton of money… A TON!

After a lot of hard work implementing brain rewiring along with consistent bible reading and prayer, I saw a massive transformation with my health and life.

Week after week, my symptoms started to disappear.. For good! I changed at a heart level for Christ.

About a year later… My life looks completely different.

I can now eat whatever I want without any restrictions. I gained the much needed 25 pounds back. I can travel and go where I want. I sleep like a baby. I have energy and focus. I can run miles and lift heavy weights.

The most important part: My nephews & niece have their aunt back. My husband has his wife back. And I have my life back. I am happier than I’ve ever been and I’m forever grateful.

Brooklyn is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioral Coach, and Registered Nurse who specializes in brain retraining. Brooklyn got hit with over 18 symptoms such as severe brain fog, fatigue, insomnia, constipation, and anxiety. 

She saw dozens of natural and conventional doctors and got diagnosed with lyme, mold illness, SIBO, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, mast cell activation syndrome and more.

She restricted her diet and tried to address many toxicities and infections with a variety of protocols. After all of this, she still had tons of symptoms and had to remain on a very restricted diet. At one point, she was only eating 2 foods and was socially isolated due to all of the environmental sensitivities.

She then discovered brain retraining and saw more results in 2 weeks than she saw throughout the years of supplement protocols, restricted diets and endless lab tests. She knew this was the answer and went all in with it! 

She stopped all supplements and within 6 months her life was completely different.

She’s now able to eat whatever she wants without a spike of symptoms.

She can run miles and lift heavy weights. 

She doesn’t have to rely on any supplement or medications and lives a life free of restrictions.

Ever felt like you’re running on a never-ending treadmill, chasing after health and happiness but somehow always finding yourself back at square one? It’s like you’re stuck in a chronic fight-or-flight mode, with every cell in your body on high alert, making peace and well-being seem like distant dreams.

This prayer for trusting in God’s perfect timing is a heart-to-heart conversation with our Heavenly Father. It’s a reminder that in the whirlwind of our struggles—be it health, relationships, or finances—we’re invited to lean not on our own understanding but to surrender our plans, our pains, and yes, even our health, into His loving hands. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 whispers the secret to navigating life’s turbulent waters: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and rely on His wisdom, power, and goodness1. It reminds us that God is in control and will lead us through difficult seasons if we follow Him2. The passage emphasizes remembering God and obeying His commands34. Trusting God’s sovereignty allows us to find comfort even in unpredictable circumstances5.

Proverbs 3:5-6 is a deeply insightful passage that has been the subject of much commentary. Here’s a summary of various interpretations:

• Trust and Reliance: The verses emphasize complete trust and reliance on God rather than one’s own understanding or abilities1.
• Divine Guidance: Acknowledging God in all aspects of life is said to lead to divine guidance and direction1.
• Wisdom and Faith: These verses are considered central to the wisdom literature, highlighting the importance of faith and the limitations of human wisdom1.
• Ethical Living: Some commentators suggest that the passage speaks more to ethical behavior and living rightly before God than to specific life choices2.
• Heart Obedience: The call to trust with all one’s heart suggests a deep, inward obedience and commitment to God’s commandments3.

Each commentary brings out different facets of the passage, reflecting on how trusting in God’s wisdom and guidance can lead to a fulfilling and righteous life. If you’re looking for a more detailed analysis, I can provide a summary of specific commentaries or explore the themes further.

This isn’t just beautifully poetic; it’s practical. It’s about shifting our focus from the trials to the one who holds the victory over every trial. But how do we truly surrender, especially when our bodies and minds are caught in a relentless storm of stress and sensitivities? The answer might surprise you: Neuroplasticity and brain rewiring.

In our upcoming Fatigue and Sensitivity Relief Challenge, we dive deep into the science of neuroplasticity—how you can LITERALLY rewire your brain to transition out of the chronic fight or flight response, unlocking relief from chronic symptoms and sensitivities. It’s about pairing faith with science, trusting God while actively participating in the renewal of our minds, as Romans 12:2 encourages us.

This Challenge might just be the answer you’ve been praying for. Learn to trust in God’s timing while empowering yourself with knowledge and strategies to heal, body, mind, and spirit.

Feeling called to explore how faith and neuroplasticity can transform your life?

Comment “Heal” below for more information on The Fatigue and Sensitivity Relief Challenge.

Let’s embark on this journey of healing and hope together.

It’s startling, isn’t it? 

How skillfully the enemy can weave distractions, deception, and division into our daily lives, pulling us away from the peace and purpose God has for us. John 10:10 warns us of the thief whose only intent is to steal, kill, and destroy our joy, our time, and our focus on what truly matters.

Distraction is the enemy’s first ploy. He delights in stealing our time with God, making us believe that we’re too busy, too tired, or too preoccupied with the world’s noise to engage with the Word. Remember, every moment lost to scrolling through our phones or succumbing to the day’s busyness is a moment stolen from deepening our relationship with Christ.

Deception comes next, whispering lies about our worth, our capabilities, and the source of true happiness. The enemy wants us to believe that joy can be found in material possessions, status, or earthly pleasures. But joy, real joy, comes from Christ alone. When God calls us to step out in faith, the enemy tries to convince us we’re not good enough, not ready, or incapable. It’s time we stop comparing and start stepping out in the confidence God gives us.

Lastly, division—Satan’s strategy to isolate us through anger, bitterness, or misunderstandings. Ephesians 4:31-32 urges us to let go of malice, to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving. Remember, the enemy thrives in the rifts between us, pushing us toward isolation instead of unity in Christ.

So, what do we do?

1. Recognize the enemy’s tactics in your life. Awareness is the first step to change.
2. Pray daily for strength, for God to reveal and rebuke these distractions, deceptions, and divisions.
3. Actively choose to redirect your thoughts and actions towards positivity. 

4. Swap the morning scroll for scripture, halt the negative talk, embrace the calling God has placed on your life with boldness.

Ready to reclaim your joy and purpose in Christ? 

Tired of letting the enemy have a foothold in your life?

Have you ever considered how the sins we overlook can directly impact our stress levels and overall health?

It’s a truth we often bypass: the seemingly minor sins can tie us down in a relentless cycle of fight, flight, or freeze,

exacerbating our chronic symptoms and sensitivities.

Let’s talk about some of the common yet underestimated sins:

1. Drunkenness: Ephesians 5:18 warns us against being drunk with wine, leading to debauchery. Instead, we’re encouraged to be filled with the Spirit. This sin can cloud our judgment, disconnecting us from the Spirit’s guidance and fueling stress and health issues.

2. Lust and Envy: Matthew 5:28 highlights that even looking at someone with lust is akin to committing adultery in our hearts. Social media amplifies this sin, pushing us towards jealousy and comparison, which only feeds our stress response.

3. Gossip and Slander: Proverbs 10:18 reminds us that spreading slander is foolish. Speaking negatively about others not only harms them but also poisons our own hearts and minds, perpetuating stress and negativity within us.

4. Pride: James 4:6 tells us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Pride can isolate us, make us resistant to God’s guidance, and keep our stress levels high as we rely on our strength instead of His.

Addressing these sins and turning our hearts towards God can lead to a significant reduction in our chronic stress levels. It’s about recognizing these behaviors, bringing them into consciousness, and choosing to align more closely with Christ’s teachings.

If you’re ready to confront these hidden culprits and seek peace, comment “Peace” below. Let’s embark on this journey of self-awareness and healing together. Continuing our reflection on sins that fuel our stress response from our last post, it’s vital to understand that healing begins with turning away from these behaviors and embracing humility, love, and forgiveness.

Let’s explore a few more sins that subtly undermine our health:

1. Anger: Holding onto anger, as warned in Psalm 37:8, only leads to evil. While it’s natural to feel angry, acting on these feelings without thought can harm our relationships and increase our stress. Learning to respond with grace and patience is key.

2. Idolatry: When we place anything above God—be it our health, job, or even relationships—we’re engaging in idolatry. This misplacement of priorities can lead to an endless chase for fulfillment, leaving us stressed and disconnected from God’s peace.

3. Fear and Lying: Fear, often stemming from not trusting in God’s plan, can immobilize us and escalate our stress response. Similarly, lying, even about the smallest things, creates a web of stress and guilt. Embracing truth and faith is liberating and healing.

By consciously working to eliminate these sins from our lives and realigning our actions with God’s will, we not only improve our spiritual health but also our physical well-being. The chronic stress response begins to fade as we find peace in God’s presence and promises.

If you’re committed to this transformative journey of shedding these sins for a healthier, more peaceful life, comment “Transform” below. Together, let’s support one another in living out the true freedom Christ offers us.

Is it really possible that sin is creating the chronic health Challenges we’re obsessed with overcoming?

Have you ever paused to reflect on James 4:11?

James 4:11 is a verse from the New Testament of the Bible that addresses the issue of speaking against one another and judging others. It reads:

“Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.”

This verse emphasizes the importance of refraining from slander and judgmental attitudes towards others. It suggests that when we speak against others or judge them, we are not only speaking against our fellow human beings but also against God’s law. The verse calls for humility and obedience to the law rather than assuming the role of a judge, which is reserved for God alone1.

The broader context of James 4 deals with conflicts and disputes among people, and this particular verse serves as a reminder to focus on self-examination and submission to God’s authority rather than criticizing or judging others2. It’s a call to live in harmony and peace with one another, aligning our actions with God’s commandments.

It’s like a divine whisper reminding us, “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another.” Because when we throw shade or judge our brothers and sisters, we’re not just hurting them; we’re actually going against God’s law itself.

It’s pretty clear, right? But here’s something you might not have considered: when we hold onto judgments and grudges, we’re not just straying from God’s word; we could be stirring up a storm in our own bodies.

Imagine this: each time we let resentment fester or pass judgment, it’s like sending a signal to our limbic system (yeah, that part of the brain responsible for our emotional life) saying, “Hey, let’s kick things up a notch.” And not in a good way. This can lead to limbic system dysfunction, triggering chronic sensitivities and a host of health issues.

Who knew that holding a grudge could literally make us sick?

So, what’s the game plan? It’s about embracing forgiveness, not just as an act of spiritual obedience but as a radical act of self-care. Forgiveness allows us to release that toxic build-up of negativity and make space for healing, both spiritually and physically.

Let’s start a movement of healing and grace. If you’re ready to drop the judgments, to forgive and heal not just your heart but potentially your body too, shout out ‘Healing’ in the comments. Let’s break free from the chains of judgment and step into a life of freedom and wellness, as God intended.

 Limbic System – Search Videos (bing.com)  often referred to as the “paleomammalian cortex,” is a complex set of brain structures located beneath the cerebral cortex, and largely within the forebrain. It supports a variety of functions, including:

• Emotion: It’s involved in the processing of emotions due to its connections with the hypothalamus.
• Behavior: It influences behavior and motivation, often through its interaction with the endocrine system and body’s response to smells.
• Long-term memory: The hippocampus, a key component of the limbic system, is crucial for the formation of long-term memories.
• Olfaction: The sense of smell is closely linked with the limbic system, which is why certain smells can trigger strong memories or emotions.

The primary components of the limbic system include the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and cingulate gyrus12. These structures work together to process and regulate emotions, memory, and certain aspects of behavior.

It’s interesting to note that the limbic system is considered one of the older parts of the human brain in evolutionary terms, indicating its fundamental role in basic emotional and motivational processes2.

Religious Beliefs That Science Has Debunked (But People Still Cling To) (msn.com)

A great portion of the world has been living believing in a mirage as reality. 

Something that appears to be a reality but is not actually real. 

What the human race for so long has equated to be reality is their physical existence. 

Can we perceive reality?

Alison George

I don’t know about you, but I feel that I have a perfectly good perception of reality. Inside my head is a vivid depiction of the world around me, replete with sounds, smells, colour and objects. So it is rather unsettling to discover this might all be a fabrication. Some researchers even contend that the live-stream movie in my head bears no resemblance whatsoever to reality.

In some senses, it is obvious that subjective experience isn’t the whole story. Humans, unlike bees, don’t normally see ultraviolet light; we can’t sense Earth’s magnetic field, unlike turtles, worms and wolves; are deaf to high and low pitch noises that other animals can hear; and have a relatively weak sense of smell.

“Everybody knows that we don’t see all of reality.

 I say we see none of it”

On top of this, our brain presents us with only a snapshot. If our senses took in every detail, we would be overwhelmed. Did you notice the last time you blinked, or that fleshy protuberance called your nose that is always in your peripheral vision? No, because your brain edits them out. “A lot of what our senses are doing is something like data compression: simplifying, in order to be able to function,” says Mazviita Chirimuuta at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.

In fact, most of what you “see” is an illusion. Our eyes aren’t all-seeing, but capture fleeting glimpses of the outside world between rapid movements called saccades. During these, we are effectively blind because the brain doesn’t process the information that comes in when they happen. If you doubt this, stare into your own eyes in a… You’re touching on a profound topic about perception and reality. The quote you mentioned suggests a philosophical view that our perception of reality is limited or even nonexistent. Indeed, our brains filter and process the vast amount of information we encounter, presenting us with a manageable version of reality. This selective attention helps us focus on what’s important and prevents sensory overload.

As for the unnoticed details like blinking or the fleeting moment that was cut off in your message, these are often overlooked because they’re automatic processes or because our attention is directed elsewhere. It’s a fascinating aspect of human cognition that we continuously adapt to our environment by focusing on certain stimuli while ignoring others to better navigate our world.

 If you’re interested, I can delve deeper into the cognitive science behind perception and attention. Would you like that?

Have you noticed repeating patterns in the conflicts or challenges that arise in your life? 

Dear Younger Me | MercyMe – YouTube
There are certain parts of this Earth that hold an extra special energy..

Much like Sedona Arizona Redrock Country in the United States of America
Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is one of those extra special, very sacred places. 

I’ve experienced such deep revelations, catalysts and transformations in the lands of Atitlán-which is a native Mayan word meaning:

“The place where the rainbow gets its colors” 

And this name is no coincidence, the energy of this land will illuminate your colors too. 

Journeying to these kinds of spiritual vortexes will ALWAYS catalyze transformation in your life, in some way or another. And when we journey into these lands with intention,

Mother Earth meets our intention with a divine force of magic & support. 

We’re heading back to this sacred Mayan heartland for the journey of a lifetime in October for a week of connection, exploration, spiritual expansion and liberation.

Practice: Yoga, Kundalini, Qi Gong, Breathwork, Vocal Activations & Meditations

that teach you how to harness and channel your own energy in a powerful way. 

Learn: The ancient understandings of Ayurveda that provide a profound elemental understanding of your unique body type,

 providing you with tools to maintain harmony & balance in your body through lifestyle & diet. 

Experience: Connection to nature in the beautiful herbal sanctuary of Casa Curativa, crafting your own herbal medicine from plants picked straight off the land, a sunrise hike over Lake Atitlán,

and so much more. 

If you’re feeling the call in your heart, I invite you to say yes and lean in to letting

the greater force of your heart’s wisdom lead the way. 

That’s because the universe is trying to show you something 

Your soul signed up to learn these lessons and heal the karmic patterns of your lineage

Can you look into the eyes of those who challenge & frustrate you and

see their soul beyond the veil of their human vessel? 

The truth is, those who challenge and trigger you most in life are your master teachers.

There was a time that you made a pact to help each other learn

the hard lessons in this Earth school experience 

The effect of the human dream state causes us to forget what we signed up for when we decided to incarnate on Earth

We get caught in an illusion state of feeling like we are a victim to the challenges & conflicts we experience

But make no mistake, the challenges you face are divinely designed for your soul’s growth and healing

And you chose this for yourself 

At any moment you can wake up & look through a new lens


So, you don’t have to repeat the cycle again 

Seek the lesson
Receive the message
Change the pattern

When you pray for something, the how and the when is not up to you

When we pray for alignment, that may come to us in the form of things,

people and occupations falling away

When we call in or pray for a vision to become reality,

the divine will orchestrate the manifestation in ways you cannot predict

When you are manifesting a vision, it is vital to recognize that all moving pieces are supporting that vision coming to life

Even when you don’t quite understand the why.

Because it is not your job to control the how and the when

Your only responsibility is to trust, and listen for the messages and the lessons along the way

When things fall away you can certainly trust that it is the divine force of dissemblance clearing your path of anything that is not in harmony

with the vision you have been calling in. 

Take a little journey back in time with me… 

Someone out there once said that if you don’t look back at younger versions of yourself and cringe a little bit then you’re not growing

Today I’m reflecting on the younger versions of me who created the woman I am today. 

And while there are definitely parts of those past versions of me that I could cringe at.. 

Like the 22 year old me that subconsciously used yoga as a way of elating my ego through advanced poses & the status of being a teacher…

Or the 20-year-old me that continuously repeated self-sabotaging patterns even though she knew things needed to change…

Today- 27-year-old me holds ALL of those past versions of me with so much love and reverence because she learned from those mistakes & made me who I am today. 

Some of you have been following my page from the beginning and have seen this journey of evolution from a festi girl on an adventure to a spiritual woman on a mission.

What a JOURNEY it has been 

So, here’s a little look at my journey,

and all the versions of me that shaped me into who I am today.

When we love & honor the past versions of ourselves we can draw upon

the wisdom from their experiences & mistakes with strength. 

This is the way of the Sovereign Woman. 


My 1:1 Sovereign Reclamation mentorship is open. 

If you desire to dig deeper into healing trauma imprints from childhood, rewiring subconscious patterns and reclaiming your birth-right to freedom, this is for you. 

Have you ever had one of those experiences of extreme contrast that shows you how much you’ve changed?

Like revisiting an old friend, seeing them in the same exact place as they were years ago, and feeling the stark contrast of how much you’ve changed while they have stayed exactly the same?

Yesterday I made a spontaneous trip to go see an artist play at a festival, which I rarely do anymore since stepping fully into a conscious path of purpose these last 4 years.

And I had such a profound experience just feeling the contrast between who I am now, and who I once was.

I looked all around me at people numbing & disassociating on party drugs, and I remembered how that used to be me

And while I had an amazing time seeing one of my favorite artists, what that experience gave me more than anything was an opportunity to feel the contrast.

Where I used to look around and see people numbing with drugs and escaping their reality

Now I look around and see a nurturing community of people who honor heart centered presence, awareness and wellbeing

And it reminded me how our environment influences who we are!

There was a time in my life where I was still that festi girl, but something inside of me was changing. My body was screaming for better.

And I knew that I had to let go of those old pieces of me to make room for new ways to blossom.

There was a period of time that I had to spend in solitude.

Letting go, of the parts of me that no longer aligned with who I wanted to become. 

And as I was changing, I started putting myself in environments with people who lived in a way that was more aligned with who I wanted to be.

The people & activities we fill our lives with can either hold us back,

or empower us to blossom…

Put yourself in spaces with people who inspire you to grow, to flourish into the greatest version of you.

This is why I love retreats- we all come together CHOOSING to grow, and the energy we all bring empowers that intention greater than we ever could alone. 

Join me next for a deep soul metamorphosis in Guatemala,

and immerse yourself in a space of transformation.  

Join us next in Guatemala this coming October

Navigating this is the challenge of being a living, thinking person. 

But simply acknowledging it and trying to put it into practice is a good place to start. 

I know I will try to keep remembering that reality always seems real. 

Even when I mess it up.

If you have ever struggled with losing weight, you have probably heard about speeding up your metabolism, the dangers of slowing it down, and finally damaging or breaking your metabolism. This information might be confusing and overwhelming.

All you want to do is lose some weight but what if you are hurting yourself instead? Is it possible to break your metabolism? 

And if you can, how do you fix a broken metabolism?

How To FIX Your Broken Metabolism (youtube.com)

Thomas Seyfried: Cancer As A Metabolic Disease challenges the conventional belief that cancer is primarily a genetic disease. Instead, Seyfried argues that cancer is best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease, emphasizing the role of cellular metabolism in its development and progression1. 

This perspective challenges the prevailing dogma and has implications for cancer research and treatment protocols2. We’re going to learn what exactly your metabolism is, whether it can be broken, how you can fix it, what a healthy metabolism feels like, and why it’s important to your overall health.   

What Is Metabolism?

Metabolism is how your body converts what you eat and drink into energy, or fuel. If you want a more technical definition, metabolism is all the chemical processes your body does to stay alive.

It’s a complicated process that does not always run perfectly.

It changes based on how you eat, drink, and move.  

What Is A Broken Metabolism?

A broken metabolism is a bit of a misnomer. You cannot permanently break your metabolism, because it must work for you to function. But you can damage your metabolism by altering how your body reacts to food and exercise.

Your body wants to adapt to changes in eating or exercise because it wants to maintain its current state. If you have crashed dieted or exercised excessively in the past, you have changed your metabolism enough that it could be referred to as damaged, broken, or underperforming.

Why? Because your metabolism is not working at its optimal state.

A broken metabolism often manifests itself as a handful of unrelated illnesses or feelings that are easily ignored as other maladies.

People often experience irritability, exhaustion, or insomnia, which are often attributed to depression, which is also a key sign of your metabolism not working properly.

This is usually not permanent; if you take the steps to identify what you are doing wrong, fixing your metabolism can be quite easy.  

Metabolic Damage And Weight Gain Controversy

There is controversy about whether weight gain is caused by a broken metabolism. Our bodies are all unique. Food, exercise, and environment will affect each person differently. As we age, we move less. This has nothing to do with our bodies’ natural metabolic process.

Instead, how we treat our bodies’ seems to have a bigger effect on consistent weight gain. If you do not consistently make healthy food and exercise choices, you will either gain weight or stop losing.

Part of the problem of weight gain or plateaus in a diet regimen is that once your metabolism adapts to your adjusted calorie intake, it begins to store more fat in a process called homeostasis.

Yo-yo dieting and fad diets often lead to more weight gain later on down the line, as we’ve all experienced. And that weight then becomes even harder to lose than it was the first ten times.  

How Your Body Actually Burns Energy (And The Concept Energy In vs. Energy Out)

Your body must use energy (calories) to keep you alive.

In simple terms, energy in is the food you take in, though it is a little more complicated. Not all calories are created equal, and unfortunately there are hidden calories in our food.

There is a little known fact that the labels can easily be off by approximately 25%.

(Take a look here to learn more about the hidden calorie conundrum.)

Then there is the additional complication of our body’s ability to absorb the nutrients we consume, and the way it absorbs certain types of foods such as cooked vs. raw foods, and of course last but not least, the various types of bacteria in our digestive tract plays a part as well.

While energy out combines, both physical exertion, which includes exercise frequency, and the type and intensity of the workout, as well as standard bodily motion. This involves the complex variations of the following:

• RMR or resting metabolic rate
• TEE or thermic effect of eating
• NEAT or non-exercise activity thermogenesis
• PA or physical activity

The number of calories burned to keep you alive is your resting metabolic rate, or RMR. It’s the bare minimum of calories needed for you to breathe and digest nutrients.

Your resting metabolic rate is basically set by your genetics and there isn’t much you can do to change this. The thermic effect of eating is a simple method of eating food that takes more energy or work for your body to digest and process the nutrients.

You also burn calories by moving around daily. This is called NEAT or non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

Your non-exercise activity is a combination of your every day movement that you don’t put much thought into such as fidgeting, or walking up the stairs, or from one room to another, you are moving, but you are not doing strenuous exercises.

There is one more way to burn energy that you’re all familiar with – exercise.

(We’ll talk more about this later.) In short, physical activity refers to your actual efforts at exercise.

Your body gets the energy to perform RMR, NEAT, and other processes from two sources – the calories (energy) you take in and those stored in your body (aka fat).

Now that we know more about metabolism and its effect on our bodies, let’s look at ways we can speed up your metabolism to burn more fat and lose weight. 

Ways To Fix Broken Metabolism

Putting your metabolism on the right track is not a one-way street. There are things you can do to “repair the damage” if you will, however there are other things that you just have to STOP doing in order to get there.

Here’s a list of both:   

1. Speeding Up Your Metabolism (Eat Less Exercise More Is BAD Strategy)

Many people assume the best way to lose weight is to drastically cut calories and exercise extensively. They think this will jump start their metabolism and burn more calories.

This is not a good way to lose weight.

The key to resetting your metabolism long term is not simply eating less and exercising more, because this causes your body to adjust and slow down energy use to vital organs. Instead it’s about balance, or moderation.

Making sure that the food you eat is what your body needs for fuel, and not storage.

If you cut your calories too low and begin to eat less without your body absorbing the necessary nutrients, your body will go into storage mode faster and it will think it is entering a period of starvation. It will then hang on to the calories you take in, instead of burning them.

This leads to fat storage, because your body thinks it will need it for energy at a later time. Your body wants to survive. If it thinks it is threatened, it will do what it takes to keep everything the same!

This can lead to your body absorbing more calories, though not the nutrients, you eating more calories, and your body adjusting your resting metabolic rate, and your non-exercise activity thermogenesis.   

2. Variations And Carb Cycling

Regularly changing your diet can trick your body into letting go of stored fat. If you’ve ever heard of carb cycling, you might be familiar with this idea. Carb cycling is an advanced diet regimen that helps with balancing your ketones so that you continue to burn fat.

The most common approach is to maintain a level intake of fats and proteins while adjusting the carbohydrate intake.

Instead of eating the same number of calories and macronutrients every day, you change it every 2-3 days. For example, you begin by eating low carb foods for 2-3 days in a row. Then you eat high carb foods for an entire day.

Repeat this cycle every 3-4 days. You can change the ratio of high to low carb days, depending on your weight and exercise goals.

By changing up your eating habits, your body cannot adapt to any one pattern.

The periodic carb reloads also reassure your body that there is no starvation happening, so it does not need to hang onto extra calories for later use.

On high carb days it’s also recommended to do heavier weight lifting/muscle toning exercises or resistance training at the gym to balance the higher carbs in and the higher physical activity.

When you are doing a carb cycle, it is important to keep a close eye on the ketones your body may be producing. Ketones in your urine are an indicator that your body is burning fat, because there are not longer any available carbohydrates to burn for energy.

When this happens your body will go into conservation mode, and begin limiting the energy it extends to vital parts of your body. For maximum weight loss your ketone level should always be around 1.5 – 3 mmol/L which is known as optimal ketosis.

Anything below or above that range is considered light, moderate or too high, and it is not desired.

3. Can You Reset Your Metabolism By Fasting?

Fasting can also help reset your metabolism. When you deprive your body of food, it decreases insulin and glycogen production. These are your body’s first choice of fuel, so it will be forced to use back up fuel, stored fat.

This teaches your body to use fat instead of only storing it away for a rainy day.

Remember, your body desperately wants that energy, so fasting is most effective in short doses. Otherwise, you’ll be back to starvation mode and unnecessary fat production and storage.

You can fast for as little as 18 hours and still benefit from the decrease in insulin production.

According to WebMD, fasting for the sake of fasting, will do nothing to cleanse you or “detox” you, and it doesn’t help with long term weight goals.

There is just no scientific evidence to back up the claims many fad diets and “detox” programs promise.

Long term fasting actually does quite the opposite, it slows your metabolism, instead of speeding it up, and if you are not careful, this can have negative side effects to your kidneys or liver. For anyone not familiar with intermittent fasting it’s about taking little breaks from eating, which can do great things for your body.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a world-renowned women’s health expert on a mission to Empower women to Believe in their Bodies! Her high-profile clients include entertainer LeAnn Rimes, former race car driver Danica Patrick and popular influencer Jesse Itzler.

She is a bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl (top-selling release of 2023 from Hay House Publishing) and The Menopause Reset. Her podcast, “The Resitter Podcast,” is ranked within Apple’s top 20 category of leading U.S. science podcasts, and routinely features top guests including LeAnn Rimes, Danica Patrick, Lisa Bilyeu, Miesha Tate, Cynthia Thurlow, Sheri Salata, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Max Lugavere, and many others. She holds a BS degree from the University of Kansas and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

How long are these breaks? People usually eat in an eight-hour window and skip food for 16 hours. If that works for you, great. But I find it works better for men than women, says Dr. Mindy Pelz YouTube – Search (bing.com) has been seen by 79 million views.

This makes sense when you consider men’s bodies are governed largely by one hormone, Tester one. “For women though it is a symphony of hormones,” to create an optimal harmony and restore metabolic health as we age. 

Different hormones require different strategies and that’s why Dr Pelz created fast cycling.  5-1-1 cycling is 5 days on a comfortable fast, one day pushing yourself and one day not fast. One a comfortable day you get a 10 hour eating window. Such as 10 am until 8 pm and a strict day 12 noon until 7 pm. Dr. Pelz says even beginners along with seasoned faster who’ve hit a plateau get great results incorporating the easy form of cycling.

Bonus: many say frequent switch-ups are fun and make healthy fasting more of a game.

Fast cyclers get more of the benefit linked to traditional forms of fasting. For example, giving yourself more breaks gives your body “free time” and  a chance to heal cellular damage that can lead to more blood sugar control, accelerated belly fat storage and type 2 diabetes — an issue that’s all too common as levels of estrogen decline. Improving blood sugar is a common goal of easier fasters, says Dr. Pelz.  Meanwhile, the no fast day helps optimize progesterone, a hormone important for proper thyroid function.

Dr. Pelz includes no fast days and also reduces belly fattening stress hormones. The role of longer fasting is to help the body to adapt and get stronger. Plus longer fasting helps the body stay in autophagy longer — a metabolic state that helps the body survive and thrive during periods of scarcity. Basically during fasting our body burns bacteria, viruses, waste, and even entire dysfunctional cells as emergency fuel. “Cells emerge rejuvenated or completely replaced with entire new cells, says Dr. Pelz.

 You’re basically making your aging cells young again and younger cells do everything better. So metabolism immunity and brain function becomes updated once again. Dr Pelz states you can see benefits by eating junk food, however, you see greater transformation and benefits  by eating natural alternatives versus highly processed fare. She is also a big fan of varying carb intake to 50 grams a day during a shorter fasting period (to help speed improvements to blood sugar and sugar metabolism) and about 150 grams on all other days ( to boost progesterone and prevent stress.)

In one study, women in their 60s using Dr. Pelz’s eating principles saw dramatic improvements in hunger, cravings and blood sugar. They also slimmed down 3.6 times faster than the group that got the same exact calories as the one’s not fasting.

Adds Dr Pelz, “traditional diets tend to make your metabolism worse which sets you up for great weight gain after you come back off them. Intermittent fasting actually helps your body’s metabolism to heal, so it stays lean and healthy.

Try it and see how it will make your menopause years the best years of your life.

Real World Experience: When Nancy Marston first heard about intermittent fasting, she gradually began shrinking her eating hour window. It eventually got to the point I was content eating one big meal a day. I lost 50 pounds in 3 years, shares the 73 year old Oregon retiree. Then I listen to Dr. Pelz on youtube. At that point I still had arthritis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So I figured why not changing things up might be a difference maker. Then I changed the lengths of my fast and quickly learned the longer the fast the more energy I had if I didn’t fast. 

Gradually Ms Marston limited sugar, cleared out processed foods and added more variety to her meals. The effect was extremely healing to her metabolism. 

She dropped 58 pounds in about 5 years, plus her joint pain was drastically reduced, her blood pressure was normal and she came off her cholesterol medicine.

“I am deep into menopause and my hair is thicker, nails grow like never before, ”

Nancy says, “when you use intermittent fasting designed for women, great things happen. Learn More: in fasting for a Girl on Dr.MindyPelz.com – Search (bing.com)

4. Processed vs. Unprocessed Foods

Eating whole, unprocessed foods will also increase your metabolism. If you eat lots of processed foods, then you are making digestion too easy on your body.

Your body does not have to work as hard to convert processed foods to energy or fat because it is already processed.

When you eat unprocessed foods, you use more energy just to break the food down. This is called the Thermic Effect of Eating or Thermic Effect of Food. Amazingly, you burn more calories just by eating, thereby increasing your metabolism.

Eating more natural and unprocessed foods is also a key factor in balancing your body’s regulation of carbohydrates and fat. Green vegetables and salads are highly thermic meaning that your body burns more calories as it is digesting these foods.

The problem with processed foods such as ready to eat or packaged meals like TV dinners, boxed or bagged meals, chips and cookies are the hidden ingredients, or the quality of ingredients.

Things to avoid or eat minimally:

• Trans Fats
• Saturated Fats
• Hydrogenated Oils
• BHT
• Polysorbate 80
• Refined Grains
• Sugar
• Natural Flavors
• Food Dyes 
• Processed Foods 

5. Watch For the Types of Calories You Are Eating (Good vs. Bad Calories)

There is no such thing as a good calorie vs. a bad calorie per say, more of a useful food for nutrients and energy, and those considered to have no purpose, these are referred to as empty calories. Examples of foods with little to no nutritional value are:

• Sugars
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Alcohol
• Fruit Juices
• Bacon
• Margarine
• White Bread
• American Cheese

Sugar is a common ingredient in most processed foods, and is often found in high quantities in things you would commonly find healthy such as fruit juices.

Processed foods like bacon, margarine, American cheese and white breads hold more calories than nutritional values, consisting mostly of filler ingredients. Processed meats are especially a concern for those trying to be heart healthy.

If you eat 1500 calories a day of healthy, whole foods, instead of 1500 calories of processed junk foods, you will see a major difference in your body. You need a variety of foods to properly fuel every cell in your body.

If you are deficient in one area, it will throw everything off, slowing your metabolism and your weight loss. Choose minimally processed foods that provide healthy protein, fat, and carbs.  

6. Lean Healthy Proteins (Go Beyond Chicken And Protein Powder)

Protein is necessary for developing and maintaining lean muscle. It is also more filling than carbohydrates, which will help you not overeat. If you suffer any type of injury, protein is necessary for quick and efficient healing.

You don’t have to saturate your diet with protein, but include it in each meal. A serving is about the size of your palm, so the amount of protein needed varies. Aim for at least five servings of protein a day, but increase this if you want to build large muscles.

Increasing your protein intake is a significant way to satisfy your body’s hunger, while feeling fuller faster and longer.

This helps you eat less not only at mealtime, but throughout the day as well. Meats that are high in lean proteins like chicken, fish or turkey are also highly thermic. You can find a list of protein-rich foods here.  

7. Increase Your Daily Servings Of Vegetables And Fruits (Boost Your Metabolism Naturally)

Eat lots of vegetables and some fruit. Vegetables are the best thing you can eat in large quantities. They provide just about every vitamin and mineral your body needs. The bulk of your carbohydrates (which we will discuss next) should come from veggies and fruit.

This will reduce your glycemic load, lowering insulin production, and forcing your body to rely on stored fat for fuel. Vegetables are also low in calories, so you can consume large quantities and not worry about weight gain.

The high fiber content in vegetables and fruits keeps the digestive system moving by cleaning the colon. The high fiber is also filling, and the low calories make it an ideal staple for your daily intake.

Vegetables are also a great source of vitamins and minerals, which keep you healthy enabling you to maintain your weight goals. Make sure you are eating whole fruits and not simply juices, as the whole fruit has more fiber and less sugar.

8. Carbs Are Necessary (But It’s The Quality That Counts)

Eat quality carbohydrates. A “good” carbohydrate is fruits, whole grains, beans, and vegetables. They digest and absorb slowly, preventing spikes or crashes in blood sugars, because of the amount of fiber that can also be found in these foods.

Ditch the pasta and bread and opt for healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and steel cut oats. You’ll find that the diet and fitness community is sharply divided on the subject of carbs. Look at your lifestyle and your body to decide on how many and what type of carbs to eat.

Some people thrive on very few carbs that come only from vegetables. Others rely on oats, quinoa, and beans to fuel their intense workouts.  

9. Increase Your Healthy Fat Intake (Aim For The Good Fats)

Find good fat. Yes, good fats do exist. Like protein, fat makes you full for longer. Starting your day with eggs and sausage will help you skip the mid-morning crash and desperate rush for lunch at 11 am.

Avocado oil, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and grass fed butter are all good fats for cooking. Avoid vegetables oils and moderate your animal fat intake.

If you are interested in eating a ketogenic diet, then fat will make up the bulk of your diet. You’ll force your body to use fat for energy and slowly replace the bad fat in your body with healthy fat and muscle.

Increasing healthy fats from Omega 3’s helps maintain a healthy heart.

Omega 3’s are found in fish oils, or fatty fishes such as salmon, tuna, striped bass or trout.

Nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans and flaxseed are considered healthy fats.

They also have Omega 3’s though in smaller amounts.

Avocados that are firm, or just barely ripe, are cholesterol free, are loaded with vitamins C and E, potassium, and fiber, and are a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.   

10. Metabolism Supplements (And Why You Should Avoid Them)

Supplement with caution. Do not rely on supplements to fix your metabolism. Some can give you a little boost, but they will not cure you. If you can handle caffeine, include it in your diet to help burn a few extra calories.

It can also be used before workouts to increase your energy. Green tea or black coffee is a good source of caffeine.

Many pill supplements are not FDA approved, so do your research. Always read the labels. Make sure you know and understand what is going into your body.

The FDA regulates vitamins and dietary supplements but they consider them foods, and not medication, giving them a more lenient oversight. Most supplements do not have reliable evidence showing long-term benefits to their claims.

Some of these can be downright dangerous if you are not careful, because the FDA does not require supplement manufacturers to prove the safety of the product before sale, and are not required to tell you the side effects on the label.

Instead you should focus on supplements for improved overall health for your age, and dietary needs such as:

• Fish Oil Supplements
• Multivitamins

11. Increase Your Physical Activity (Get Fit YOUR Way)

Build muscle through exercise. Muscle burns more calories than fat. It will automatically boost your RMR, which means you are burning more calories by just breathing. Begin with body weight exercise or light weights.

Increase your weight and reps over time or you will not increase muscle mass. Don’t worry that you might bulk up. Most people can lift heavy weights and only build lean muscle. Start with a minimal regimen at first with low impact exercises, building your endurance slowly.

Walking helps build muscles and endurance without overextending yourself.

Focus on strength training to build muscle. If you choose to carb cycle, time your high carb days with heavy lifting sessions and workouts to maximize the benefits.  

12. Cardiovascular Training (Stop Dieting And Burn Stubborn Fat For GOOD)

Cardiovascular exercise is also important. You don’t have to become a runner (unless you want to). Instead, opt for walks, bike rides, and swimming. You also don’t need to stay on the treadmill for an hour. Thirty minutes every day is fine.

You can also combine strength training with cardio by doing high intensity interval training (HIIT). High Intensity Interval Training or HITT sessions are cardio conditioning sessions and should be done in short bursts.

Be careful of health issues, and consult a doctor before beginning a high intensity program.

These short sessions are designed to burn fat and increase calorie burn even after you finish your workout. You can do HIIT exercises 3-5 times a week, depending on your fitness level. Start with just 3 and then build your way up.

Remember, you need to rest to let your body recover. Which leads us to our last point.

13. Rest And Recovery (And Why It Is So Important)

Get plenty of rest. You may be tempted to constantly exercise, but your body has to rest in order to build muscle. Take days off. Focus on other things, like family, friends, or other hobbies.

Prioritize sleep.

Shoot for 8 hours or more a night. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body can’t regulate itself properly. You’ll also increase production of stress hormones, which will then increase fat storage.   

Finally…

In the end, the key to a healthy lifestyle, losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or adjusting your metabolic rate is stability.

A consistent approach to what you eat, how you eat, and how much you eat are all important parts of the way you train your body to burn fat and build muscle instead of storing those nutrients for later.

Regular exercise or even just increased mobility is also an important part, as well as regulating your insulin, or sugar balance.

Remember, your body will always adjust to your eating and exercise habits in order to maintain its current state. If you find yourself stuck in a weight loss plateau, don’t despair. It is totally normal and does not mean your metabolism is broken beyond repair.

Be patient with yourself as you change up your current routine.

Try eating and exercising less for 2-3 weeks. Or, ramp up your gym time, but be sure to increase your food intake as well. With a healthy diet, consistent exercise, and patience, you can get your metabolism back on track and lose weight within a few weeks.

Managing a consistent sleep schedule, and low stress environment are also a key component to maintaining a healthy life.

Capitalism is not the underlying problem.

Free Enterprise Now – 1.3 Basic Principles of Free Enterprise (youtube.com)

The components of a free enterprise system, which is a market-based economic system with minimal government interference, typically include:

• Households: They own most of the country’s economic resources and decide how to use them, such as labor and consumption 1.
• Companies: Started by entrepreneurs, these units innovate, compete, and organize resources from households to generate profits 2.
• Markets: They facilitate the exchange of goods, services, resources, or money between buyers and sellers. – Search (bing.com)
• Prices are set with little government interference 2.
• Governments: Their role is to act as protectors, defining, maintaining, and protecting the rules of society, not controlling supply and demand 2.

These components work together to support an economic environment where individuals and businesses make decisions based on supply and demand dynamics, promoting innovation and efficiency in a market-driven economy 3

Free enterprise refers to an economic system where:

• Market forces determine prices, supply, and demand of goods and services without government interference 1 2 3 4.
• Private businesses operate in competition, largely free of state control 3.
• Individuals have the freedom to start and manage businesses 5.
• Competition, entrepreneurship, and innovation drive economic growth and prosperity 5.

Name another system that is better. 

But before doing so take into account human nature.

Perhaps the problem is that we abdicated our civic responsibility living in a constitutional republic by not doing our part in all civic matters from school board to federal elections. We collectively sit on our asses’s and repeat stupid slogans that seem to make sense at face value, to justify our apathy. 

Such as choosing the lesser of two evils is still evil; my vote doesn’t matter; one victim of this or that is one too many so we end up allowing a reasonably well functioning society to descend into utter chaos. As a result, what kind of people rise to the top?

Yeah. We need to fix it alright. 

But we better think long and hard about where to look for answers and solutions and accountability. Oh, you’re absolutely right. 

We agree however the status quo is what we have to deal with. We can talk about how we could have made this better.

This younger generation is not going to go well for us older people that have retired or are going to retire. 

If you look around, every kid is following somebody with their phone in their hand, they don’t even know where they’re going just as long as they’ve got that phone to entertain them.

Here in the state at the gas pumps while you’re pumping gas, they’re selling us commercials and broadcasting it really loud from the pump.

As an older adult, I can’t stand this while the younger generation has no idea that every moment of their life is now occupied by somebody else’s thoughts or someone else’s creation and a lot of it is subliminal.

That’s why I live out in the country. I don’t wanna deal with that. It still permeates even in the small towns.

But there is no escaping it. Short term yes, but sooner or later it will have to be dealt with. One way or another. 

We might have a slim chance to buy time to sort things out with civility, but the clock is running out fast. 

We need to put our emotions aside and look at objective reality and move from there.

Social Democracy does FAR better than the crony capitalism we have in this nation.

Corporatism aka crony capitalism – Search (bing.com)

Calling it what it is…is Fair enough. But I would add that any system will fall under the weight of corruption without consequences.

I’m glad you went into the weeds to point out that we have devolved into crony capitalism. I was too vague in my opening comment. In retrospect I should have specified free market capitalism.

As long as political parties determine who rules over us, our vote is largely void.

We will soon no longer have the ability to divert our path to blatant fascism. Free market capitalism is the opposite of crony capitalism. Capitalism needs regulations and we do or did or used too.

I look into your children’s eyes and tell them-

Don’t join a cult. Always work for yourself!

OWN the business, don’t be an employee!

Taxation is theft!

Nothing is free, and if it comes from the government, they probably stole it from someone who worked for it.

Never ever bow down to socialism and recognize it before it takes over. Same with communism.

Politics-left, right, and middle are all parts of the same bird.

and we are all human too, part of the same bird-and if taxation is theft, 

who pays for the roads, infrastructure, hospitals, education, defence. etc .

This year’s POTUS election is make or break.

A  Biden re-election will be the death of Constitutional governance.

Biden has been a disaster and train wrecked for our country

Read and learn  Bernie’s 110 page communist manifesto – Search (bing.com)

If you care to discuss this, bring third party verifiable numbers to support your opinions and explain it to me more, as I don’t waste time on political discussions with those incapable of changing their opinions when presented with verifiable data to the contrary.  Tell me how you think Biden has helped this country be a disaster, with specifics of how you think his efforts move the nation in a positive direction…

Biden has proven that he is a communist and in many ways hurt our country through inflation, crime, shrank our oil reserve and allowed 9 million illegals in the country and that’s just a start, Now provide specific facts to support the opinions about Biden being Pro American. The government has become bloated and a massively wasteful bureaucracy that steals from the citizens via taxes.

We are simply stuck in the system we have here, and I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere else, but there is a vast amount of room for improvement.

The very first and BEST way to fix nearly every problem, is actually to make ALL political positions UNPAID. Volunteer only, no retirements, just serve and go back to your day job.

Second is TERM LIMITS. NO politician or official can serve more than 2 terms.

No one within 3 degrees of any kind of relation to any of the above are allowed to hold any position, to help prevent nepotism and cronyism.

Third, very important, is to actually hold ALL members of the government very strictly to a rule of ANY law or ordinance written or voted into law shall apply equally and fully to every member. No addendums or sub chapters or anything else can be added or subtracted from that.

There comes a time when over taxation becomes a huge burden. We text when we buy something and then we are taxed again at the end of the year and then we are taxed on the property that we hopefully owned that has a house on it.

They have a stranglehold on us and they keep on upping our taxes.

Real communism isn’t the real answer but would be awesome, but to date, human greed has forbidden it being implemented anywhere. Just like “democracy”, the term is used to trick the masses into thinking they have as much freedom as the rich. Yet, crony capitalism is completely different from true free market capitalism. My mother says today’s Capitalism is nothing short of greedism and she was born in 1929. 

Seeing as America has not been attacked in many many decades, I don’t see a need for a trillion dollar “defense” budget, AND having had dealings with the armed services in a corporate manner with BOEING Georgia, I know for fact just how insanely ridiculous and beyond wasteful they are. Not only wasteful but their systems in MANY ways are incredibly inefficient. And they made millions through government tax breaks that didn’t pay well.

The old pale stale white male military industrial complex is a curse on both our countries-wasteful and corrupt as; politics is a tough gig though; no one will work that hard for free -a good politician works really really hard (and there are some, not many but some lol). When you have Nepotism and cronyism-good luck with eliminating that. In our capitalist societies money is power and the golden rule is “whoever has the gold makes the rules”.

Capitalism is good for business and consumers are powerless against it. Also We will keep pressing the lever of consumption with stuff we don’t need and whatever else that lights up the brain’s reward center. Human Nature will eventually correct the situation and humans will not like the result. Capitalism is not bad in itself. However when the corrupt seek to stack the odds to ensure their profits, that’s “run-away capitalism”, or fascism. 

Or communism where everyone is equal but some more so than others lol

Cleanup continues after tornadoes touched down across Miami …

MIAMI VALLEY — Feb 29, 2024 · Cleanup is now underway

after two confirmed tornadoes touched down.

Is the Miami Valley Part of a new Tornado Alley? | WHIO-TV (youtube.com)

Story by WHIO Staff, Austin Chaney

WebApr 30, 2024

The Miami Valley has been hit hard with severe weather this season. 

There have been seven confirmed tornadoes locally and 30 across the state.

And we, here at Storm Center 7, have been here with you through it all.

So, the big question is “What in the world is going on?” says Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Austin Chaney.

Indian Lake Ohio Tornado – March 14 – Search (bing.com)

Upon further investigation of both February 28 and March 14, the meteorologist says there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary to cause severe weather. 

We just had the right ingredients come together twice.

Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Britley Ritz, said, “We had the wind shear, instability, and the lifting mechanisms to support these storms. 

However, those storms did not reinvent the wheels in terms of what caused them.”

What was abnormal about our storms were the time of year and the frequency of occurrence. At this point in the year, the entire state of Ohio typically averages four tornadoes.

Since January, the state of Ohio has seen 35 tornadoes, which is more than we would normally expect in a calendar year.

So, the ingredients aren’t changing, but the numbers don’t lie.

Tornadoes are striking with greater frequency.

According to our colleagues at Climate Central, the number of tornado-favorable days is increasing, meaning the number of days where we have sufficient wind shear and instability for tornadoes is going up.

‘This is not warned, this is a tornado on the ground’ | FOX Weather

 Dating back to 2015, only one year featured below-average tornado counts, and only one year featured near-normal tornado counts. Every other year was above average.

In the last five years, the normal is 22. 

We have had 24, 33, 33, 56 and we’re already at 35 in 2024, and it’s only April. 

Storm Center 7 Weather Specialist Nick Dunn, said, “People will undoubtedly ask, is this a result of climate change? It is tough to say, and it is impossible to tie any one given event to climate change. However, tornadoes like warm, moist air, and Ohio has been seeing more warmth and greater moisture content in its atmosphere over the decades. 

Since 1950, the temperature during springtime months has increased at a rate of .4 degrees per decade. Similarly, the dew point has increased at a rate of .2 degrees per decade. Those are subtle increases, but small increases in dewpoint and temperature over time can have big implications in the amount of fuel available for storms.”  

Chaney said with the numbers showcasing the increase in tornado activity, and the uncertainty of what climate change and increasing severe weather chances may bring you, you need a team you can trust. And, that is Storm Center 7 – Weather Coverage You Can Count On.

CLEVELAND (WJW) — When many people think of tornado outbreaks, 

Story by Paul Kiska

Tornado Alley states like Oklahoma. Texas and Missouri come to mind.

But, so far this spring Ohio is outpacing those states, and many other states that historical data show are notorious for many tornadoes.

Palm Sunday Tornado in Ohio 1965 – Search (bing.com)

Is green dust on your car every spring in NE Ohio what you really think it is?

For instance, by mid March, Ohio had 16 confirmed tornadoes in 2024, according to the National Weather Service, while Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas had a combined 6 tornadoes.

Then came April and it brought many more tornadoes to Ohio along with it.

Record breaking in fact. Fox 8 meteorologist Scott Sabol said Ohio had a record-breaking 43 tornadoes in April 2024.

“There has been a trend in recent years where Ohio and Indiana are having more confirmed tornadoes,” meteorologists at the NWS told Fox 8 News.

FOX 8 Meteorologist Dontaé Jones has worked and lived where Ohio tornado outbreaks have occurred, including this past March and April in NE Ohio, “I think there’s more than enough evidence to support that tornado alley is either shifting eastward or at the least widening east,” he said.

The following statement below is from a Scientific American article titled ‘Watch Out: Tornado Alley Is Migrating Eastward‘

“From the 1950s through the 1990s they struck most often in Tornado Alley, an oval area centered on northeastern Texas and south-central Oklahoma. More recently, that focus has shifted eastward,” according to Scientific America.

Dontae was working at a Dayton TV news station during other tornado outbreaks in recent years and shared these comments.

“From the time I arrived in the Miami Valley (Ohio), I learned that it was not only the severe weather section of the state but possibly on the eastern edge of a new tornado alley. Every year that I was there we had severe weather including tornadoes.” Dontae shares more details about incidents that stand out to him that he said, “support the theory of tornado alley shifting eastward.” You can read those later in this story.

A Scientific America graphic also shows part of that shift being highlighted in far western Ohio.

Dontae shared his personal experiences with other major tornado outbreaks that offer credence of a “shifting” tornado alley in regards to Ohio.

“Two incidents in particular stand out to support the theory of tornado alley shifting eastward. Troy, Ohio (Miami County) had a tornado damage some buildings downtown on January 11, 2020. JANUARY! The Memorial Day 2019 outbreak of tornadoes where we had 19 tornadoes in the Miami Valley in one night! 

Also, the outbreak that we just saw last Thursday (March 14) had the majority of tornadoes along the I-75 corridor and down toward central Ohio. I think that there is more than enough evidence to support that tornado alley is either shifting eastward or at the least widening east,” Dontae said.

Fox 8 meteorologist Scott Sabol said time will tell if recent tornado outbreaks in Ohio part of a trend will be or was an anomaly. “We will need to monitor the next 3 to 5 years to see if there is an early season trend.”

This winter may have had some rough points so far, but it’s nothing compared to the blizzard of 1978.

On January 26, the blizzard dropped over a foot of snow; this date still holds the record for the most snow in Dayton in a 24-hour period, according to online archives. The National Guard responded to help deliver supplies and rescue those stuck in the snow. 

Interstate 75 was closed for four days, air traffic was halted at the airport, and RTA and the postal service both stopped service.

Dayton officials estimated the blizzard caused over $4 million in damages, according to the archives.

Summer 1908

Ohio River

Prior to canalization the river was quite unpredictable. Winters provided ice. Hot, dry summers made way for a barren river bottom. Both extremes caused boat traffic to stop — leaving them to sit in place till it rained or thawed. Bing Videos

In this photo captured during the drought of 1908 “the Ohio River at the foot of Grape Island St. Marys, W. V. was so low [(that)] the ferry was immobilized and passengers had to rely on rowboats to make the crossings.”

1908 was one of the driest summers in American history leaving some sections with only two inches of water!

“As bad as the 1908 drought was, however, according to the September 26, 1908, edition of The Akron Beacon Journal, the drought paled in comparison to one that had occurred a couple generations earlier: “This season has certainly been dry, and the drought, especially during the past few weeks, has been a very serious one, but still the memory of the oldest inhabitants runs back to a year when there was a worse one… [The drought in the summer of 1845]: There was no rain from the last of March until the tenth of June, when there fell a little rain for one day, but no more until the second of July, when there probably fell a half inch, for it made the roads a little muddy. From this time no rain fell until early in September.

“The long continued drought reduced the streams of water to mere rills, and many springs and wells, heretofore unfailing, became dry or nearly so. The grass crop entirely failed, and through many counties the pasture lands were so dry that, in walking across them, the dust would rise as in the highways. So dry was the grass that fires, when accidentally kindled, would run over them as over a stubble field and great caution was required to prevent damage from them.

The crop of oats and corn was nearly destroyed. Many fields of wheat so perished that no attempt was made to harvest them. The health of the inhabitants was not materially affected, although much sickness was expected. Grasshoppers were multiplied exceedingly in many places and destroyed every green thing that the drought had spared, even to the thistles and elder tops by the roadside.

“The late frosts and cold drying winds of the spring months cut off nearly all the fruit, and what few apples remained were defective at the core.

“So great was the scarcity of food for the domestic animals that early in the autumn droves of cattle were sent into the valley of the Scioto to pass the winter. Many stocks of dairy cows were broken up and dispersed, selling for only four or five dollars a head, as the cost of wintering would be more than their worth in the spring.

“That was certainly a drought that was a drought, and to read of it makes us think that this year of our Lord 1908 has not been so bad after all.” This Is the Ohio River – Life Death Rebirth of the Beautiful full documentary free – Search Videos (bing.com)

“Why in the World are They Spraying?” Documentary HD (multiple language subtitles).

People around the world are noticing that our planet’s weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have led millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs. Could there be a connection between the trails and our severe weather?

While there are many agendas associated with these damaging programs, evidence is now abundant which proves that geoengineering can be used to control weather. In this documentary you will learn how the aerosols being sprayed into our sky are used in conjunction with other technologies to control our weather.

While geoengineers maintain that their models are only for the mitigation of global warming, it is now clear that they can be used as a way to consolidate an enormous amount of both monetary and political power into the hands of a few by the leverage that weather control gives certain corporations over the Earth’s natural systems. This, of course, is being done at the expense of every living thing on the planet. Directed/Produced by Michael J. Murphy and Produced/Edited by Barry Kolsky.. Written by Michael J.

Watch Out: Tornado Alley Is Migrating Eastward | Scientific American

Migrants – not voting Americans and their children – “are what makes us economically strong,” according to President Joe Biden.

Biden made the comments during a fundraiser for pro-migration groups at the elite Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. on May 1st.

Brietbart reports: Biden’s statement spotlights his policy of inflating the national economy with Extraction Migration — not by raising U.S. exports to developing countries or by growing Americans’ all-important productivity with more investment in workplace automation and innovation. 

 “One of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden said, according to a report by a pool reporter. 

He continued: Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? 

Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants!

…Immigrants are what makes us strong. 

Not a joke. That’s not hyperbole, because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and just contribute.

Establishment media outlets downplayed Biden’s economic strategy and instead portrayed his comments as a diplomatic gaffe during “Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.”

Biden is partly right about the economics: Migration does expand a nation’s economy and tax revenues — just as ice cream expands a waistline — because migrants serve as consumers, renters, workers, and clients for government agencies.

But Biden’s rush of migrants also boosts inflation, housing prices, and interest rates. Worse, it shrinks CEOs’ willingness to pay for the vital growth in automation and productivity that allows voters to earn more wages by doing more work each day.

The USA is undergoing the largest invasion in human history.

The term “existential threat” is overused, but here it actually applies.

Any means necessary should be deployed to defend our country from the foreign enemy pouring across the border to swamp it out of existence. Yet no means will be deployed.

The invasion is only happening because our president and the forces he represents side with the hostile invaders against American citizens. Biden makes it explicit:

Migrants — not voting Americans and their children — “are what makes us [economically] strong,” President Joe Biden told a May 1 fundraiser for pro-migration groups at the elite Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C.

Given the unfolding impact of the illegal immigration crisis he caused, this is hardly the time for Biden to be croaking statements like this:

“Immigrants are what makes us strong. Not a joke.”

Crooked Joe is correct that what he is doing to us is no joke. At least he warned us in advance that he wanted to make regular Americans a minority in their own country. Refer to South Africa (and the next inevitable step, Zimbabwe) to see what happens to white minorities.

Biden, Democrats, and their GOPe allies tout the supposed short-term economic benefit of mass Third World immigration. But like most liberal establishment policy, it only helps the rich. As for the country as a whole:

The economic policy has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced Americans’ productivity and political clout, slowed high-tech innovation, shrunk trade, crippled civic solidarity, and incentivized government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded, low-status Americans.

The policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

A society that allows itself to be ruled by people who are hostile to it is living on borrowed time.

On May 2, Reuters reported that “U.S. worker productivity growth slowed sharply in the first quarter, resulting in a surge in labor costs, but the trend in productivity remained solid.”

Migration lobbies sideline the productivity issue as they demand more lower-skilled, low-productivity consumers, renters, and workers.

So Biden’s pro-migration policy has wrecked his polls in an election year when Wall Street gains from cheap labor while ordinary American voters scrimp and save as their slow-growing wages get chewed up by inflation and housing costs.

The situation is similar in the United Kingdom, where the nation’s Conservative Party is facing an electoral wipeout by January 2025 because it welcomed a vast inrush of migrants who have dragged down wages, pushed up housing costs, and stalled productivity gains.

That’s no problem, Deport them all on an Old Sail ship with

Major LEAKS and a 6 inch Subway to Share !

The Freshmen class is just weird this year-

Ya mean NO CLASS. Call ’em like they are Anti-American TERRORISTS.

“Police have no idea…. good gawd Almighty, Barney Fife….

We ALL know where they came from and who brought them into our country.

WHO ARE THEY?

Police have no idea where eight of the Hamas terrorists arrested at The University of Texas at Dallas are from. They are a miniscule number of the foreign criminal illegal aliens Biden allowed into the country and parachuted them to every city & town to do exactly what they were doing…cause chaos and division amongst legal Americans. WITH BIDEN IMMIGRATION POLICY GOING FULL BLAST. 

WE CAN ASSUME THEY ARE MIDDLE EAST?

 LET’S SAY THEY ARE ENEMY COMBATANTS AND DEPORT TO GUANTANAMO

Illegals get free college- These people will be taking over soon and not in a good way Our country has no loyalties to Americans the sooner you know that the better off you’ll be.

Shameful

New York Democrats blocked a bill Tuesday that would have expanded college tuition aid for Gold Star families a week after approving a state budget that included $27 million in tuition aid for so-called “Dreamers.”

New York Democrats blocked a bill Tuesday that would have expanded college tuition aid for Gold Star families a week after approving a state budget that included $27 million in tuition aid for so-called “Dreamers.”

“It’s disgraceful. Soldiers who lay down their lives and make the ultimate sacrifice represent the best of us.”

Gold Star families include the children of deceased U.S. military veterans, while Dreamers are the children of illegal immigrants. The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 to shelve the bipartisan bill, ending its chances for a floor vote during the current session.

Just last week, lawmakers passed a $175 billion state budget that included $27 million to provide tuition aid for the undocumented immigrants.

Per The Post-Standard:

Some Central New York lawmakers said it was outrageous to block a bill that would likely cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to help children of military members who died for their county.

“It’s disgraceful,” said Assemblyman Gary Finch, R-Springport. “Soldiers who lay down their lives and make the ultimate sacrifice represent the best of us. The children they love so dearly deserve access to the opportunity and promise that is the hallmark of this country. I can’t imagine what’s in your heart when you vote ‘no’ on a bill like this.”

Four Democrats, including Assemblyman Al Stirpe, D-Cicero, split with their party and voted against holding the bill in committee.

Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said in an interview after the vote that he sensed Democrats simply didn’t want to pass the bill because it was authored by a Republican, Steve Hawley, R-Batavia.

“We get so caught up in majority and minority issues here, we can’t see the forest through the trees,” Barclay said. “I don’t know how they justify this.”

Barclay said that an estimated 500 or fewer New York college students would be eligible for the tuition aid. The state would pay for children, spouses and financial dependents of New York military members killed in action to attend SUNY and CUNY schools.

The recipients would receive free tuition, room and board through a “MERIT” scholarship provided by the state. Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, D-Manhattan, the chair of the Higher Education Committee, had no immediate comment on the reasons why the bill was held in committee.December 14, 2022, 5:10 PM
