Summary

What do the following symptoms have in common: Tiredness, dizziness, stomach issues, headaches, dry skin, joint problems and depression? The answer is that you may be able to eliminate or minimize those symptoms with one very easy change to your daily routine. Listen and I’ll tell you what it is. https://www.healthline.com/health/anxiety/dehydration-and-anxiety Quitters never win and winners never quit. We have all heard that. Quitting has a bad reputation. People who persevere are the heroes. Quitters are losers – right? Well, not according to Annie Duke. Sometimes quitting is the smartest thing you can do – if you know when to quit. Annie was a professional poker player for two decades and won the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions. She was also awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of a bestselling book called Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away (https://amzn.to/3VgjuRT). Annie joins me to explain why quitting can work in your favor and why it is often the best choice you can make. There is something about conspiracy theories. Some people love them. They fuel the imagination. They seem to confirm people’s suspicion and mistrust of the government. For other people though, they are ridiculous and make no sense. So where do they come from? Why do they persist? What is the attraction? And why are most of them easy to refute if you bother to examine them closely. Whether it’s 9/11, the moon landing, the Kennedy assassination, the death of Avril Lavigne or aliens and UFOs – there is no shortage. Here to explore the phenomenon of conspiracy theories is Casey Lytle, a psychology and sociology professor and author of the book Debunked: Separate the Rational from the Irrational in Influential Conspiracy Theories (https://amzn.to/3VhxtXA). Why is that some people who brush and floss religiously still have a lot of dental problems while some other people who hardly ever brush never have dental trouble? Listen as I explain the interesting answer. https://www.gumdoc.net/periodontal-disease/mouth-body-connections/gum-disease-in-families/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
