    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Kath Orman, Anne Ward Crocker, Dr. Jack Rocco, and Julie Ferguson

    Powered by Books to Life Marketing, Neil opened with Kath Orman, an Australian financial planner and certified financial advisor with over 35 years of experience and author of Attitude, Abundance & Action: How to Create the Motivation, Mindset, and Magic Around Money. Kath shared how a card reader once told her to "practice your signature for the book signing," sparking the project her clients had long been encouraging. She described her three-part framework: Attitude (recognizing how inherited mindsets like "I'm hopeless with money" hold people back), Abundance (recognizing the koalas, birdsong, and family joy already in your life), and Action (replacing fear with knowledge through diversified investing). Kath shared a story of clients who said "thank you for giving us permission" after taking a New Zealand trip 15 years before retirement, and recounted her seven-year-old grandson waving a magic wand over her first author copy and declaring it would sell more than a million. Find the book on Amazon and at KathOrman.com. Neil then welcomed 95-year-old author Anne Ward Crocker, a 1951 University of Maryland graduate now living in a Winchester, Virginia retirement home, to discuss her children's book Close Friends' Cathedral Adventure. The story follows Peat, a toad, and Paul-Paulette, an earthworm, who live under the roots of Christy, a Christmas fern, until they are unearthed and carried to the Washington National Cathedral for its annual Festival of Flowers. Peat is discovered and left in the Garth while his plant friends are taken inside, setting off his solo quest through the cathedral. Anne, a former Washington Gas Light Company home economist who once managed a Marriott cafeteria and met her husband on the bus to American University, took 40 years to finish the book, mostly because she had to learn to use a computer. A charter member of the Virginia Native Plant Society and Audubon participant, she has visited the Washington National Cathedral since 1948 and weaves real cathedral architecture and a short glossary of terms into the story. Find the book on Amazon and at AnnWardCrocker.com. Dr. Jack Rocco joined for the Ultimate Men's Movement segment, sharing the deeply personal news that his father passed away that week. Jack and his family brought hospice in on Thursday and honored his father's wish to die at home surrounded by family, with Jack himself administering the medication. He reflected on the karmic balance of grief and relief, then turned to a Netflix documentary on the "manosphere" and the Andrew Tate phenomenon, asking what happened in just one generation between his stoic, hardworking father (married to the same dedicated wife in the same small house for 63 years) and the world his son is now growing up in. Jack pushed back on the demonization of traditional masculinity, citing the misandrist mindset some women now openly embrace, the unrealistic "rule of six" expectations, and the displacement men face as AI replaces non-physical work. He acknowledged that even surgical robots, often heralded as progress, sit unused in many hospitals because procedures take longer and fatigue staff. Neil closed with Patient Engagement Specialist Julie Ferguson of Reset Medical and Wellness Center continuing the conversation about Nervous System Reset (NSR) treatment. Julie, a 25-year Chicago Police Department veteran, described how patient outcomes are deeply individual: her own results were subtle rather than explosive, but the humbling part is watching people reclaim joy in simple things. She emphasized that Reset is genuinely patient-focused, with onboarding calls and post-treatment follow-ups built into every patient's journey.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring J. Len Sciuto, Arthur Day, and Julie Ferguson

    Neil opened with bestselling author and retired military officer J. Len Sciuto for their weekly geopolitical breakdown, celebrating that his thriller Hades' Crypt has now been on the bestseller list for 24 consecutive weeks. Len previewed his upcoming book Desperate Countermeasures, in which 14 government agencies create the National Nuclear Contingency Plan only to have a domestic terrorist group kidnap, torture, and kill the plan's authors. He noted the eerie parallel to recent news about 11 missing scientists, several with backgrounds in nuclear propulsion, biochemistry, anti-gravity, and interplanetary defense, all of whom held high security clearances and are now under FBI investigation. Len then walked listeners through the Strait of Hormuz crisis, explaining that under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea it is an international waterway that allows free transit passage despite Iran's claims. With 34 vessels turned away and several seized by Iran, he detailed how 20 million barrels of crude oil and roughly 25 percent of seaborne oil trade normally transit the strait, with crude now running $104 per barrel. He covered the international-orange LNG carriers (each holding 266,000 cubic meters of cargo worth roughly $2.3 million), the VLCC tankers carrying 2 million barrels each, and explained why he believes the U.S. should take out Kharg Island rather than bridges and power plants if Iran refuses to negotiate, since shutting down the wells there would collapse Iran's economy. He warned about the "four-headed snake" of North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran (with China buying Iranian oil at $20 per barrel and supplying missile components and intelligence in return), and outlined the Arctic threat where Russia now operates 32 reactivated military bases inside the Arctic Circle versus only 10 American bases. Find Hades' Crypt and Len's other books at JLenSciuto.com. Powered by Books to Life Marketing, Neil welcomed Arthur Day, author of the LGBTQ thriller trilogy that concludes with See-Saw following Death at Dawn and The Velvet Trap. Arthur, who has written five books including Sampson and Delilah and When Fear Knocks, explained that he set the trilogy's finale during the COVID era to contrast the destruction and mob mentality of that period with two characters falling in love. The series follows trans female private investigator Diane Vargas and MJ McCaal in fictional Rockmarsh County, Connecticut, where the pair meet, collaborate on the murder of MJ's ex-wife, fall in love, and ultimately marry under Sheriff John Buckmaster. Arthur, who identifies as part of the bisexual community, said the partnership represents hope in the midst of destruction. Neil encouraged him to pursue LGBTQ podcast reviewers and consider adapting the cinematic story into a screenplay for streaming networks. Find his books on Amazon and at ArthurDayWrites.com. Neil closed with the Reset Medical and Wellness Center podcast, welcoming Patient Engagement Specialist Julie Ferguson, a 25-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department who retired three years ago on St. Patrick's Day. Julie shared how, after a career invested in mental health advocacy (she helped create CPD's juvenile crisis intervention training program and spent years in peer support, partly inspired by her son's serious mental health struggles), she moved to Ohio and felt purposeless until she discovered the role at Reset Medical. The job description seemed written for her: mental health, military, and first responders. Julie noted that police officers in violent cities can experience 800 to 900 traumatic incidents per year, and Chicago officers see far more. Initially skeptical of the parasympathetic NSR (Nervous System Reset) treatment, she onboarded patients and called them after treatment, hearing repeated transformation stories until she finally asked Dr. Michael Louwers for the procedure herself, documenting it on the Reset website.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Maya Feller, Griff Ruby, and Pat

    Neil opened with registered dietitian Maya Feller of Maya Feller Nutrition for a conversation on how GLP-1 medications are reshaping the way Americans eat. With one in eight American adults currently on a GLP-1 (a number expected to triple by 2030), Maya emphasized that when people are eating less, the nutritional density of every bite matters more than ever. She framed protein and fiber as "the power pair," with protein supporting sustained energy, muscle, immune health, skin, and hair, while fiber drives gut health. She recommended building every meal around both, leaning on lean proteins like chicken, dairy, and beans alongside fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Maya pointed listeners toward the frozen aisle and Vital Pursuit, a line of GLP-1 friendly meals developed with chefs and registered dietitians offering at least 20 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per meal. Her favorite is the Max Pro line with 30+ grams of protein and 12+ grams of fiber, including the new Uncured Pepperoni Max Pro Pizza, which holds the title of most protein per serving of any pizza in the frozen nutritional meal category. Visit vitalpursuit.com. Author Griff Ruby returned for a deeper conversation about his book The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church: A Guide to the Traditional Catholic Community, the foundational volume in his trilogy that also includes Sede Vacante! Parts One and Two. Griff shared his personal journey discovering traditional Catholicism in 1991, attending a one-off Latin Mass at a conservative parish, then making the pilgrimage to Spokane, Washington and a nearby Society of St. Pius X priory in Post Falls, Idaho. After seven years of research interviewing priests, communities, and reading every periodical and parish bulletin he could find, he wrote what he believes remains the only book of its kind documenting the worldwide Traditional Catholic community. Griff explained why Latin matters: as a non-evolving language it preserves universal worship, and traditional Catholics anywhere in the world can recognize the same prayers spoken since time immemorial. He contrasted the traditional Mass with what he calls the Novus Ordo "service," arguing that the consecration's change from "for many" to "for all" dilutes its meaning and even raises questions about the validity of the sacrament. He walked through the importance of valid sacraments, baptism, marriage as a great sacrament, and how Vatican II's switch from extreme unction to anointing of the sick effectively turned a sacrament into a sacramental. Griff outlined three schools of traditionalist thought: the indult community, the Society of St. Pius X middle position, and the sedevacantist analysis he favors. Find his books on Amazon under Griff Ruby and at MrUbiPetrus.com. Neil closed the hour with a real-time AI face-off alongside Pat, putting Claude Cowork (Neil's tool) head-to-head with Perplexity (Pat's tool) on the same prompts. They tested how many concurrent subagents each could spawn, then asked both platforms to automate Neil's podcast workflow at 30 episodes per week. Both agents recommended self-hosted n8n connecting Zoom cloud recordings to Descript and Google Drive, with Claude generating show notes and identifying the best moments for YouTube Shorts (with timestamps, hooks, and ready-to-paste captions) and uploading them back into Descript automatically. The estimated savings ran 30 to 60 hours per week. They also briefly explored building a website through Perplexity, which ran Nano Banana for image generation, and Neil shared his ongoing AI employee experiments with Sista. The takeaway: both Perplexity and Claude Cowork are powerful, but Claude's deep Descript and Google Drive integrations make the podcast pipeline almost magical, while Perplexity's edge is the ability to route across multiple frontier models in a single workflow.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Christian Hubicki, Liam, Griff Ruby, and Mary Shearer Eckert

    Neil opened live from the 2026 FIRST Championship in Houston with Christian Hubicki, FIRST alum, Florida State University robotics professor and Survivor 50 contestant, alongside Liam, a high school student whose team is competing this week. Liam shared how joining the team in eighth grade transformed him from someone who couldn't talk in front of people into a confident presenter who had already pitched judges in his pit and improv'd full answers earlier in the day. Christian explained that FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, the leading global K-12 robotics nonprofit that has 19,000 students at this year's championship and over 50,000 participants worldwide. He emphasized that the robots are essentially the campfire that brings everyone together, with students learning real career skills in 3D printing, coding, fundraising, marketing, accounting, and communication. Christian noted that he was on Team 7 back in the day and FIRST now has over 80,000 teams. Liam plans to pursue 3D animation and was inspired by Boston Dynamics machine learning. To get involved as a student, mentor, or sponsor, visit firstinspires.org/learn. Neil then turned to a special interview powered by Books to Life Marketing, welcoming author Griff Ruby to discuss his book Sede Vacante! Part One: Dogmatic Ecclesiology Applied to Our Times. Griff explained that "sede vacante" means "the chair (of Peter) is vacant" and walked Neil through his theological argument that those occupying the Vatican since Vatican II have been preaching a Novus Ordo religion fundamentally at odds with traditional Catholicism, putting it on equal footing with pagan and Protestant beliefs in ways the apostle Paul explicitly warned against. Drawing parallels to the 1054 Eastern Schism in Constantinople and the Anglican break in England, Griff argued that Vatican II officially declared the Roman institution to be a society in which the Catholic Church merely "subsists" rather than the Church itself, an inversion that traces to language promulgated November 21, 1964. Griff and Neil discussed how the Catechism of the Catholic Church published in the 1990s differs sharply from the older Catechism of the Council of Trent and the Baltimore Catechism, and how the Latin Mass and pre-Vatican II prayers were preserved by traditional Catholics worldwide as documented in Griff's first book, The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church. He used a David Copperfield Statue of Liberty illusion analogy to argue that even when people debate theories of how the disappearance happened, the truth of what was lost remains clear. Griff directs faithful Catholics to traditio.com (run by a priest since 1994) for a directory of traditional Latin Masses worldwide and recommends his books on Amazon. Neil closed the hour with bestselling author Mary Shearer Eckert continuing their conversation about her novel Wounded Sisters, this week tackling the theme of pride. Mary distinguished prideful pride (the "I can do it myself, I don't need God or anyone" attitude she described as fear wearing armor) from being proud of God's work in your life. Citing 1 John 1:8, Proverbs 16:18, and her father's old cowboy saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, she said pride is the root from which all sins grow and that admitting you have a problem is always the first step. At a recent book signing she told readers, "Don't come up to me and tell me what a great writer I am, tell me whether the book blessed you," underscoring that her stories are meant as a blessing rather than a vehicle for ego. Wounded Sisters carries a thread of forgiveness and the upcoming sequel will deal with grief using the same characters. Find autographed copies at MaryShearerEckert.com. You said: do the same

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Mitchell S. Karnes, Darren Fryer, Dr. Joe Dugger, Stuart Tomc, and Dr. Michael Lewis

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Mitchell S. Karnes, Darren Fryer, Dr. Joe Dugger, Stuart Tomc, and Dr. Michael Lewis The hour opened with author Mitchell S. Karnes for an update on his Mitchell S. Karnes Podcast, now on YouTube, where he interviews fellow Christian authors tackling subjects mainstream publishers shy away from. Mitchell announced book four of his Abbey series is now with the publisher and slated for the first week of July. He'll be at Franklin's Main Street Festival this Sunday, the Killer Nashville Conference in August, and a publisher convention at the Nashville Fairgrounds. Kim Petrosky Casting (whose credits include The Help) is casting his Water Grave series, with filming set to begin August 2. He also discussed his Brave Authors survivor-story novella tackling sex trafficking through the eyes of a girl in an affluent Brentwood school. Visit MitchellSKarnesAuthor.com. The Mike Crook Show simulcast then welcomed back Darren Fryer of OliLife from Hawaii alongside Dr. Joe Dugger from Searcy, Arkansas, for a deep dive into the Shakean Massager, a smart frequency-based weight loss device that combines seven modalities (PEMF, ultrasound, radiofrequency, red light, heat, vibration, and massage) to target visceral belly fat. Twenty-minute sessions can burn 500 to 700 calories according to InBody readings from gyms testing the device, with the protocol pairing it with the P90 Plus afterward to detoxify the melted fat cells. At $1,100 delivered, it costs roughly the same as a single professional fat-reduction treatment but can be reused indefinitely. Dr. Dugger shared the remarkable recovery story of his son Todd, a college football player who tore his ACL in the playoffs and used the P90 Plus as both prehab and post-surgery rehab. Within two weeks of arthroscopic surgery, Todd had achieved full range of motion, a process that typically takes six to eight weeks, with his Alabama-based surgeon expressing astonishment. Mike Crook also shared his own progress with neuropathy in his feet from an old ladder fall. Darren introduced OliLife's eye-and-brain-health goggles ($550 delivered), which use low-frequency PEMF, airbag heat compression, and the patented pinhole effect to address migraines, TMJ, and sleep, plus the broader product line including the Bama Air negative-ion saturator and the Vitality Wand for spot treatment. The second Mike Crook Show simulcast brought back Stuart Tomc, the former global educator for Nordic Naturals now with Zinzino, alongside Dr. Michael Lewis, retired Army Colonel, founder of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute, and author of When Brains Collide. Stuart introduced his "omega hands" framework: the left fist representing pro-inflammatory omega-6 (from seeds, nuts, and animal products) and the right representing anti-inflammatory omega-3 (from leafy greens, fish, and algae). The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is emerging as one of the most important health and longevity numbers most people don't know, with 97 percent of those who take Zinzino's at-home BalanceTest discovering they are out of balance. Dr. Lewis cited researcher Artemis Simopoulos's findings that a high omega-6 to 3 ratio correlates with a 70 percent greater risk of all-cause mortality, and his own published study showing active duty military with low omega-3 levels face a 62 percent greater risk of suicide. He referenced new research finding that higher omega-3 blood levels are linked to a 35 to 40 percent lower risk of early-onset dementia regardless of genetic predisposition, and that achieving an 8 percent omega-3 index requires roughly one can of sardines per day. Zinzino's protocol is simple: prick a finger at the kitchen table, mail in two drops of blood, start their polyphenol-rich BalanceOil, and retest after 120 days (the lifespan of a red blood cell), with a free follow-up test included because 95 percent of users return to balance within four months.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Lora Monfared, Mitchell S. Karnes, Mr. Jay, and Sondae Esposito

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Lora Monfared, Mitchell S. Karnes, Mr. Jay, and Sondae Esposito Neil opened with Lora Monfared, Head of Consumer Card Products at Bank of America, the official bank of FIFA World Cup 2026, discussing how Americans are budgeting for a landmark summer of live entertainment. Lora noted 86 percent of Americans plan to reduce spending on at least one discretionary category this year, with the biggest pullbacks in dining out and entertainment, while travel has risen to the third most common financial goal of 2026. She walked through her joy-based budgeting framework using the 50/30/20 split (essentials, wants, savings) and recommended creative alternatives for those skipping blockbuster events, like watch parties, fan zones, and themed gatherings at home. With 77 percent of Americans holding a rewards credit card, Lora highlighted Bank of America's new Customized Cash Rewards card offering 6 percent cash back in a chosen category for the first year, plus a limited-edition FIFA World Cup card design. Visit bankofamerica.com. Author Mitchell S. Karnes joined for an update on his Mitchell S. Karnes Podcast, now on YouTube, where he interviews fellow Christian authors tackling subjects mainstream publishers shy away from. Mitchell announced book four of his Abbey series is now with the publisher and slated for the first week of July. He'll be at Franklin's Main Street Festival this Sunday, the Killer Nashville Conference in August, and a publisher convention at the Nashville Fairgrounds. Kim Petrosky Casting (whose credits include The Help) is casting his Water Grave series, with filming set to begin August 2, and a decision on books two and three expected by January. He also discussed his contribution to a Brave Authors survivor-story collection, with his novella tackling sex trafficking through the eyes of a girl in an affluent Brentwood school. Visit MitchellSKarnesAuthor.com. Sherry Price Clark of Storehouse Media Group then welcomed Mr. Jay, a certified Betrayal Trauma Practitioner and intrapersonal relationship coach, for a powerful conversation distinguishing betrayal trauma from general trauma. Mr. Jay explained that betrayal trauma requires reliance or dependency on the betrayer, which is why it can come from parents, bosses, God, the body itself, or a spouse. He outlined three reasons betrayal trauma stands apart: victims personalize it, it operates as a "secret society" without the casseroles and condolences other losses bring, and it uniquely poisons the past as well as the present. He referenced Jennifer Freyd's concept of "betrayal blindness" as a nervous system protection that backfires, and shared his three-gardens framework: a personal garden, a marriage garden, and after infidelity a repair-and-rebuild garden that must be specifically tended. Despite popular belief, roughly 75 percent of couples who experience infidelity survive and thrive when both partners do the work. Find his free resources at MrJayRelationshipCoach.com. The hour closed with Jodi Corbet of the Jesus and Ugly Jodi Podcast welcoming Sondae Esposito, founder of the 4Rescue Foundation and owner of EPI Security in Northern Virginia. Sondae shared her painful childhood story of growing up in a household marked by her mother's domestic violence and her own abuse from age four to five at the hands of a grandfather who had returned as a church deacon. After a decade in security and earning Executive Protection Level 1 and 2 certifications, she launched 4Rescue to focus specifically on extraction, transporting victims of domestic violence and trafficking to safety before partnering with other organizations. She walked through the viral "Four Fingers Up" hand signal, urging listeners to call 911 and document rather than intervene, and announced her sticker campaign to place the signal in every women's restroom in America.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Dr. Gilda Carle, J. Len Sciuto, Mitchell S. Karnes, and Jason Seal

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Dr. Gilda Carle, J. Len Sciuto, Mitchell S. Karnes, and Jason Seal The hour opened with the Gilda Gram Podcast featuring Dr. Gilda Carle. She referenced her recent appearance on Stacy Washington's SiriusXM show Stacy on the Right, sparked by a headline about a New York judge's son caught secretly filming women during sexual encounters who is now publicly complaining the system ruined his life rather than acknowledging the harm to his victims. She used the case to spotlight a growing entitlement crisis among young Americans and drew a parallel to teens who underwent gender transition surgery only to detransition in their twenties and blame their parents. Citing the tragic case of Redmond O'Neal (son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett), she stressed real parenting requires being friendly toward children rather than friends with them, and that the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully mature until 25 or even 30. Find more at drgilda.com. Bestselling author J. Len Sciuto returned with a sweeping geopolitical update on Operation Epic Fury, the US campaign against Iran. The 80-year-old former military officer and nuclear chemist celebrated that Hadey's Crypt has been a bestseller for 18 weeks. He detailed the two US mission objectives (toppling the regime and removing all weapons material), reporting more than 3,000 targets destroyed with 13 American personnel lost. He walked listeners through the Strait of Hormuz blockade, the types of mines being used, and the strategic importance of Kharg Island, which handles 90 percent of Iran's oil exports. Len explained how China has been buying Iranian oil at $15 per barrel while market prices sit at $104-$120, in exchange for sodium perchlorate (rocket fuel) and missile components, with the troubling possibility that nuclear material is also being shipped in those specialized containers. Len warned about a fourth undamaged Iranian nuclear facility holding roughly 2,200 pounds of heavy water nuclear-grade material, enough to produce 10-11 bombs in 10 days or up to 25 in six weeks. He noted the deployment of amphibious landing ships carrying 5,000 Marines to the region. He shifted to domestic politics, sharing why he transitioned from independent to Republican during the 2020-2024 era, criticizing the government shutdown that has left 130,000 Department of Homeland Security employees (Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA) unpaid while ICE remains funded under different authority. He defended military members receiving steak and lobster meals as a small piece of home, drawing on his 1970 submarine mission against Russia in the Black Sea. Find his books at JLenSciuto.com and on Amazon, with Desperate Countermeasures expected in July. Author Mitchell S. Karnes joined Neil for an update on his expanding podcasting work, where he interviews fellow Christian authors who tackle subjects mainstream Christian publishers shy away from, including the founder of Brave Authors. Mitchell shared a touching connection with Fred Legon, the sound man for the Water Grave series, both bonding over their shared cancer journeys. He's deep into book four of his Abbey series, sitting in the 220-page range of the rough draft and entering the resolution phase. He's also collaborating closely with the actress playing Abbey and the actor playing Sam, with filming set to begin in August. Mitchell celebrated independent bookstores like one in Smyrna, Tennessee that have welcomed him for one-on-one dialogues rather than traditional table-and-chair signings. He encouraged readers to leave Amazon reviews. Visit MitchellSKarnes.com for autographed copies. The hour closed with Jason Seal of No Sleeve Nation in a brief tech-and-sports segment, with Neil marveling at how AI and technology are bringing people closer together while still leaving room for the timeless surprises of March Madness.

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Dr. Larry Carr, Geoff Dardia, and Dr. Gilda Carle

    The Neil Haley Show Featuring Dr. Larry Carr, Geoff Dardia, and Dr. Gilda Carle Neil opened with Million Dollar Minutes alongside Ryan Aguas, welcoming Dr. Larry Carr, BYU Hall of Fame linebacker turned brain-health researcher and adjunct professor in the University of Utah's neurology department. Larry shared his journey from playing football starting at age 10 through a successful BYU career and Canadian pro stint, only to spiral into severe depression, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts in his fifties due to undiagnosed CTE. After the top researchers at Boston University told him there was no treatment, he was referred to Dr. Margaret Naeser at the Boston VA, who was studying photobiomodulation light therapy in Gulf War vets. The treatment using an early Vielight device transformed his life, saving his marriage and giving him a mission to save football players. Dr. Carr detailed the landmark BYU football study he led, the only one of its kind, where players using the active Vielight headset showed zero inflammation or axonal damage at season's end while the sham group showed widespread brain damage. The treated group also achieved an 83 percent win rate over three seasons compared to 58 percent without it. He stressed that the issue is not concussions but head acceleration events, the constant rattling of the brain inside the skull, which affects football players, women's soccer players, race car drivers, rodeo bull riders, and even firefighters and combat veterans. His research has expanded to firefighters in Las Vegas and an FDA-funded TBI study, with hopes to launch the largest NFL retired-player study and youth mental health research, since CTE precursors are showing up in 20-year-olds. Learn more at vielight.com or footballandthebrain.com. Geoff Dardia, retired Green Beret and founding director of the SOF Health Initiatives Program at Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation, shared his 20-plus year journey of running into health challenges that led him to become one of the special operations community's leading wellness advocates. Geoff explained operator syndrome, the cumulative impact of traumatic brain injury, blast over-pressure, toxic exposures, chronic and traumatic stress, adverse childhood experiences, insomnia, and infectious diseases that drives the staggering cancer and suicide rates in special operations. He emphasized that suicides typically occur within a year of separation, and that the system needs to intervene before the catastrophe rather than after. Geoff described his own healing journey through advanced diagnostic testing at the Cleveland Clinic, functional medicine, and ultimately the stellate ganglion block (Synthetic Reset) at Reset Medical and Wellness Center, where he went as he transitioned out of the military. He praised the center's setting, safety, ceremonial follow-through, and family-based approach that addresses the operator, the spouse, and the children. He stressed that the reset is a starting line, not a finish line, providing the nervous system regulation needed to do the hard reprocessing work afterward. Visit taskforcedagger.org and theresetcenter.com. The show closed with the Gilda Gram Podcast featuring Dr. Gilda Carle. She walked through the eight behaviors author Anna Phillips Waller identifies in women who were never taught to love themselves growing up: deflecting compliments, excessive self-criticism over minor mistakes, negative self-talk, tying self-worth to external compliments or appearance, prioritizing others' comfort while neglecting their own needs, gravitating toward critical or emotionally unavailable partners, feeling guilty about self-care, and apologizing excessively for taking up space. Dr. Gilda referenced her book Real Men Don't Go Woke, which details how men hide from intimacy, and reminded listeners that hiding is a two-way street since partners mirror each other.
