    Jakob Shaw - Manager of Strategic Initiatives for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - Spring 2026 Update Ep. 3142

    Listen in as Jakob Shaw and Bernadette Fiaschetti share their zest to end animal cruelty. They discuss why French Bulldogs and Pugs should never be bred, why buying birds and holding them captive is cruel, the first ban on glue traps; and first in the nation…Wesleyan University memorial plaque for animals killed for dining hall meals. Jakob Shaw is the manager of strategic initiatives for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. In this role, Shaw advances PETA’s animal protection mission through legislative advocacy, youth outreach, colorful demonstrations, multimedia projects, installations such as The Council of Animals (What to Do About the Humans) featured on the National Mall, and more.   His work has led to the first ban on glue traps—which ensnare small animals indiscriminately and cause prolonged suffering—as well as the introduction of both federal and state bills banning the cruel devices.   He also helped secure the passage of a groundbreaking ordinance in Ojai, California banning the breeding of French Bulldogs and other breathing-impaired dogs and cats who suffer from a lifetime of respiratory issues and other chronic ailments.  PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment business.  Website: www.peta.org

    Emma Suttie - Acupuncture Physician - “Bacopa: The 3,000-Year-Old-Herb Sharpening Modern Minds” Ep. 3141

    This podcast is packed with information you don’t want to miss! In this special evening edition of the One Life Radio Podcast, host, Bernadette Fiaschetti welcomes back Emma Suttie to dive into her article, “Bacopa: The 3,000 Year-Old-Herb Sharpening Modern Minds.” Emma is an acupuncture physician and founder of Chinese Medicine Living – a website dedicated to sharing how to use traditional wisdom to live a healthy lifestyle in the modern world. She is passionate about her work and loves to share her knowledge of this wonderful medicine to empower people to live healthier, happier lives. She has written for multiple publications over the past decade and is now a health reporter for The Epoch Times covering Eastern medicine, nutrition, trauma, and lifestyle medicine.  Bacopa, known in Ayurvedic medicine as a natural nootropic—a substance that enhances cognitive function—Bacopa is traditionally used to improve memory, sharpen focus, and protect the aging brain. A 2024 published study in the Journal of Psychiatry and Cognitive Behaviour examined the effects of Bacopa on cognitive function and memory in 80 healthy adults. Participants received either 300 milligrams (mg) of Bacopa (containing 90 mg of bacosides, the plant’s primary active compounds) or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The group taking Bacopa showed significant improvements across multiple measures: verbal short-term, spatial short-term, visuospatial working, episodic, and working memory. Cognitive functions, including concentration, reasoning, alertness, and mental flexibility, also improved. Other benefits reported included improved anxiety and sleep quality, reduced cortisol levels, and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a critical protein that the brain needs to promote the growth, survival, and maintenance of neurons. It is also vital for the brain’s plasticity—strengthening connections between neurons—essential for learning, memory and cognitive function. The study authors also noted that concentration improved significantly within three hours of a single dose of Bacopa. Clinical herbalist Geo Derick Giordano, who has worked extensively with Bacopa, calls it “the number one herb in India for the brain, cognition, and memory.” In traditional Ayurvedic practice, it’s given to children to enhance learning and to older adults experiencing cognitive decline. Scientific studies are also validating Bacopa’s neuroprotective effects. According to the authors of a 2024 systematic review investigating Bacopa’s neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing actions, Bacopa can repair damaged neurons, restore synaptic function, improve nerve transmission, and improve neuroprotection. It also has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic actions, meaning that it inhibits apoptosis (programmed cell death) and promotes cell survival. The team found that in the 22 clinical trials included in the review, Bacopa reduced oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory biomarker levels, both hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Bacopa monnieri proved effective in optimizing cognitive performance, specifically by improving memory retention, learning capacity, and attention span. The research highlights its ability to stabilize emotional and psychiatric well-being, showing marked improvements in symptoms of depression, impulsivity, and anhedonia (the inability to experience pleasure). Additionally, participants experienced improved sleep routines and reductions in both hyperactivity and attention deficits, suggesting that Bacopa may serve as a comprehensive tool for managing complex psychological and developmental challenges. A 2021 study examined the effect of Bacopa on depression, anxiety, and stress among people between the ages of 12 and 60 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants took two 500-mg Bacopa capsules after breakfast and dinner daily for 30 days. The researchers found that the participants had a significant decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress scores after using Bacopa for one month, highlighting its effectiveness in psychological health.

    Danielle Pashko - “Spring Forward with Renewed Energy” Ep. 3138

    Listen in as Danielle Pashko and Bernadette Fiaschetti discuss springing forward with renewed energy, quantum physics, ayuervedic medicine, the emotional roots of chronic disease, and the future of energy-based healing. Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, author, and the visionary behind Soulhakker™, a cutting-edge wellness platform that merges ancient energetic practices with modern science to catalyze healing from the inside out. With more than two decades at the forefront of New York City’s elite wellness scene, Pashko has collaborated with leading physicians, developed custom supplement lines, and helped thousands transform their health through detoxification, nutrition, and mind-body integration. Her training spans functional medicine, yoga, massage therapy, somatic healing, and internal martial arts. But her true authority comes from what she’s lived through. After losing her mother to cancer at 13, Pashko became fiercely committed to health—by the time she was 16, she was living alone in Manhattan, working multiple jobs while pursuing a vision of invincibility through wellness. By her early 30s, she had become a trusted expert in the field, but her own cancer diagnosis, followed by chronic Lyme and post-COVID complications, shattered her illusion of control. Despite doing everything “right,” she got sick. That reckoning became her awakening. What healed her wasn’t more optimization, it was nervous system regulation, unprocessed grief, and ancient practices like Qigong and Tai Chi. Pashko now teaches what she had to learn the hard way: true healing is not about perfecting your health, it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Through Soulhakker™, Pashko offers an integrative model of healing that combines clinical precision with trauma-informed emotional work and energetics. She’s redefining what resilience looks like for a new generation of men and women—those who are ready to stop pushing through and start healing for real. Pashko is the author of, “Smile at Your Challenges” and “Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make.” Her work has been featured in FOX & Friends, USA Today, CBS, ABC, NY1, Reader’s Digest, PIX11, and The New York Post. She has held positions at prestigious institutions including The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, Exhale Spa, and The Peninsula Spa, and has worked in clinical practice with renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia. Today, Pashko is a sought-after voice on holistic health, the emotional roots of chronic illness, and the future of energy-based healing.
