EP 246: 1 Supplement That Might Actually Be Worth the Money

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb which has been repeatedly shown to be effective at quelling anxiety, improving a person's response to stress, and having neuroprotective properties. There is even some evidence that it may increase physical performance, as well. Here's one study (randomized double-blind, placebo controlled, etc) showing Ashwaganda's effectiveness in reducing stress and anxiety: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573577/ Conclusion: "The findings of this study suggest that a high-concentration full-spectrum Ashwagandha root extract safely and effectively improves an individual's resistance towards stress and thereby improves self-assessed quality of life." Another scientific overview can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3252722/ Conclusion: "The available scientific data support the conclusion that Ashwagandha is a real potent regenerative tonic (Rasayana of Ayurveda), due to its multiple pharmacological actions like anti-stress, neuroprotective, antitumor, anti-arthritic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory etc. It is useful for different types of diseases like Parkinson, dementia, memory loss, stress induced diseases, malignoma and others." ...

EP 244: Can You Really Be Healthy at Any Size?

Pat, Aleks, and Som discuss the Healthy at Any Size movement. ... Studies referenced: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109717390502?via%3Dihub "Metabolically healthy obese individuals had a higher risk of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and heart failure than normal weight metabolically healthy individuals. Even individuals who are normal weight can have metabolic abnormalities and similar risks for cardiovascular disease events." The author of the study further concludes: "The priority of health professionals regarding these patients should be to promote and facilitate weight loss, as it is with any other obese patient." ... https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/39/5/397/4081012 "Irrespective of BMI, metabolically unhealthy individuals had higher CHD risk than their healthy counterparts. Conversely, irrespective of metabolic health, overweight and obese people had higher CHD risk than lean people. These findings challenge the concept of 'metabolically healthy obesity', encouraging population-wide strategies to tackle obesity." ...

Sunday School: Should You Take Pascal's Wager?

Pat talks with Dr. Michael Rota, professor of philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, on one of the most controversial but intriguing arguments for the reasonableness of committing to a religious life: Pascal's Wager. Dr. Rota is the author of the book Taking Pascal's Wager: Faith, Evidence, and the Abundant Life, where he offers an updated formulation of the argument, responds to common objections, and presents a case for the truth of the Christian faith. About Dr. Michael Rota From his website: "I'm a Professor of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) and a Program Officer at the Templeton Religion Trust. In my recent book Taking Pascal's Wager, I give an extended argument for the reasonableness and desirability of Christian commitment. From 2010-2016 Dean Zimmerman and I co-organized the St. Thomas Summer Seminars in Philosophy of Religion and Philosophical Theology. I'm currently working with the sociologist Kevin Bales on a book on slavery and religion."

EP 238: Ed Feser on Proofs for the Existence of God

Ed Feser is a philosopher, writer, and atheist-turned-Catholic who's published some of the best contemporary academic and popular work on the reasonableness of belief in God and arguments for His existence, and attributes. His popular titles include 5 Proofs for the Existence of God (which I can't recommend enough, and often have), The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism (also a necessary read), and Philosophy of Mind. His more technical book, Scholastic Metaphysics, is absolutely worth having on the shelf for any serious philosopher. I wanted to have Ed on because 1) his work greatly caused me to reconsider the religious worldview and 2) share his own conversion story of how he went from being a decade-long atheist to one of the most prolific--and persuasive--philosophers on the religious scene today. I hope you enjoy the interview. Show notes and Resources at: http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/ed-feser-of-proofs-for-the-existence-of-god/

From the discovery of a "finely-tuned" universe in contemporary cosmology, to the studies on near death experiences and terminal lucidity, this conversation is sure to fascinate anyone who's interested in the understanding the deep compatibility between faith and reason.

Sunday School: Why I Became Catholic (In Spite of Hating Religion)

For most of my life I had about as well formed an animus toward religion as could possibly be conceived. Then, one day, people saw that I'd become a Catholic. How did this happen, my readers and listeners have wanted to know? And why, of all things, Catholicism? Why not, like, anything but Catholicism? Why not Buddhism? Come on, man, Buddhism is hip! In this podcast, and subsequent post, I am going to do the best job that I can, given the brief space that I have, and in the most courteous manner possible, to offer support for the primary reason I decided to become a Catholic.

Bonus: Michael Voris on Hard Religious Truth, Catholicism vs Protestantism, and the Real Meaning of Christmas

Michael Voris is a religious educator, politlcal pundit, and CEO of the website Church Militant. Over the years, Voris has attracted much controversy for his hard-hitting and direct calling out of people in the church for evil and corrupt behavior, and yet stands firm in his Catholic faith. Long story short: The opportunity came up for me to interview Michael Voris, so I decided to get his take on the most common questions sent into Sunday School: "Why Catholicism and not Protestantism?" "What's up with religious moral teaching?" Do all 'good people' get into heaven?" And more! This is going to be a hair raising episode for many!

Sunday School: The 2nd Commandment - The 10 Commandments in 10 Minutes

Quoting from What We Can't Not Know: "A paraphrase of the Second Commamdment might be "You shall not use empty speech in connection with God." ... To say this is one of the things we can't not know--that it belongs not only to biblical injunction but to natural law--is to say that we naturally understand certain things about the relation of speech to relaity, a theme to which we return in the Eighth Commandment. Even a liar's speech expressing something true; it may not tell us the state of the world, but it tells us the state of his heart. What empty God-talk tells us is that where there ought to be God, there is emptiness."
