The Jordan Harbinger Show

Insulin resistance triggers everything from Alzheimer's to erectile dysfunction. Dr. Benjamin Bikman examines the metabolic crisis shared by 50% of America.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1201

What We Discuss with Dr. Benjamin Bikman:

Half of US adults have insulin resistance without knowing it. • It's the upstream driver of most chronic diseases — from high blood pressure to erectile dysfunction to Alzheimer's — not just diabetes.
Medical focus on blood glucose misses the real problem. • Insulin levels are rarely tested, yet elevated insulin drives disease years before blood sugar becomes abnormal.
Fat cell size matters more than total fat. • East Asians develop insulin resistance with less weight gain because they have fewer, larger fat cells versus more, smaller ones in Europeans.
Insulin resistance causes brain starvation. • When neurons can't access glucose due to insulin resistance, cognition declines — which is why some in the medical community refer to Alzheimer's as "type 3 diabetes."
Type 2 diabetes is reversible through carb restriction. • In one study, 11 newly diagnosed patients reversed their diabetes in 90 days by eating unlimited protein and fat, just limiting carbs.
 • And much more...

1201: Benjamin Bikman | Insulin Resistance Is Killing Half of America

The war between faith and facts threatens American progress on multiple fronts. Michael Regilio dissects this age-old conflict today on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1200

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Throughout history, from Socrates to Galileo, religious authorities have consistently opposed scientific inquiry that challenges established beliefs • — often with severe consequences including death and persecution.
American fundamentalist Christians continue fighting evolution in schools • , adopting tactics from outright bans to "creation science" to "Intelligent Design" — all repeatedly struck down by courts as unconstitutional.
Religious opposition to science directly impacts public policy, hampering stem cell research, climate action, and pandemic response • — with white evangelicals having the lowest COVID vaccination rates.
Faith-based practices like conversion therapy cause documented psychological harm despite being condemned by all major medical associations • — prioritizing religious doctrine over scientific evidence and human wellbeing.
Many scientists are religious believers who see science as understanding creation, not replacing it • — showing 
faith and science can coexist • when literalism gives way to metaphorical interpretation and evidence-based thinking.

1199: Pursuit of Happiness Vexed by a Litigious Ex | Feedback Friday

People crave feeling understood, but rarely get it. Here, psychologist Dr. Caroline Fleck breaks down validation science that transforms how we connect!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1198

What We Discuss with Dr. Caroline Fleck:

Validation goes beyond praise. • It's a precise psychological skill set that allows us to communicate mindfulness, understanding, and empathy to make someone feel seen and accepted. To understand the difference, 
think of praise as applauding the performance, while validation is accepting the performer.Research shows that validation literally allows us to endure greater physical pain • , suggesting its resilience-building power to help us cope with life's countless difficulties.
 • Obversely, 
invalidation shuts down recall and problem-solving abilities by triggering sympathetic nervous system arousal. • On the other hand, validation restores higher cognitive functioning needed for reasoning.
Validation skills are powerful across contexts — from relationships and parenting to medicine and even interrogations. • But keep in mind that authenticity is critical — fake or forced validation doesn’t work and can even feel condescending, especially to teens.
Validation is a skill you can practice and improve. • Nurture a mindset of genuine curiosity by asking yourself "What's this person's point?" Start with small steps like attentive listening, nodding, and reflecting words authentically to build stronger trust and connection.
 • And much more...

1198: Caroline Fleck | Harnessing Validation to Deepen Human Connection

CBD is hyped as a miracle cure for everything, but where's the proof? Jessica Wynn breaks down the science vs. snake oil here on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1197

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Cannabis-sourced cannabidiol (CBD) is widely marketed as a safe cure-all, but most claims • — especially for chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep — 
lack solid scientific backing.The CBD industry is poorly regulated • — products may be mislabeled, contaminated, or contain THC, which can cause legal or workplace issues.
The only FDA-approved medical use of CBD is Epidiolex, a prescription drug for rare childhood epilepsy • — not the casual oils, gummies, or lattes sold in stores.
Dosage, purity, and method of use all matter • — yet most over-the-counter CBD products provide far lower doses than those shown effective in clinical trials.
If you choose to use CBD products, be an informed consumer • — look for third-party lab certificates (COAs), consult your doctor if you take medications, and approach packaging claims with curiosity and skepticism.

1196: Does Sister's Past Give Her Abuse a Free Pass? | Feedback Friday

Beyond catfishing, romance scammers are moving in with victims and rewriting wills. Here, Pretend Podcast host Javier Leiva exposes their new playbook.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1195

What We Discuss with Javier Leiva:

Romance scams are so common that identical fake stories • (architect in Indonesia, talking to Johnny Depp) 
are used with thousands of victims simultaneously, making them seem like urban legends.Scammers target vulnerable people by checking boxes • : isolated from family, cognitive decline, terminal illness, government pension, loneliness. 
More boxes = bigger mark.Advanced scammers move in with victims • , become caregivers, get named as estate executors, 
then move on to victim's elderly relatives when the person dies.Damage goes beyond money • — victims often become unable to trust again and avoid relationships entirely, while family stress affects everyone for years.
Watch for red flags • : excessive early generosity, isolating behavior, urgent requests bypassing reasoning, password/financial access requests, sob stories. 
Trust family concerns. • And much more...

1195: Javier Leiva | Modern Romance Scam Tactics and Ways to Fight Back

Chemicals in water, food, and receipts are messing with our hormones. Nick Pell helps us understand and reduce the risks on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1194

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your body's hormone signals • by either blocking them or mimicking them, potentially affecting testosterone, estrogen, and other crucial hormones that regulate mood, growth, and reproduction.
These chemicals are virtually everywhere • — in drinking water, plastic bottles, receipts, shampoos, soaps, food packaging, and even birth control runoff in groundwater. Complete avoidance is impossible in modern life.
Evidence suggests EDCs may contribute to declining testosterone in men, early puberty in girls, and male fertility issues. • Frog feminization studies show real hormonal effects in wildlife and Alex Jones.
Unlike typical toxins, endocrine disruptors follow a "non-monotonic dose response" — meaning lower doses might actually be more harmful than higher doses • , making it impossible to determine a "safe" exposure level.
You can reduce exposure • by filtering water, avoiding receipt handling, using glass/metal containers instead of plastic, choosing bar soap over liquid, and not microwaving food in plastic wrap — small changes that add up.

Ordinary citizens are solving war crimes with Google Maps and Twitter. Here, Bellingcat's Eliot Higgins reveals how anyone can become a digital detective!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1192

What We Discuss with Eliot Higgins:

Bellingcat, the investigative journalism group founded by Eliot Higgins, pioneered open source investigations using publicly available data • — social media posts, satellite imagery, and online databases — 
to uncover war crimes, assassinations, and state-level deception that traditional journalism missed.Bellingcat's techniques include geolocation • (matching video backgrounds to satellite imagery), chronolocation (using shadows to determine time), and "fingerprinting" military equipment by unique damage patterns 
to track movements across borders.Bellingcat's major investigations exposed Russian involvement • in MH17 downing, identified GRU agents in Skripal poisoning through passport/phone metadata, and mapped entire Russian military units from soldiers' social media posts 
during Ukraine operations.Bellingcat faces serious threats • — Russian surveillance, hacking attempts, disinformation campaigns, and even kidnapping plots — while being falsely labeled as CIA fronts 
to discredit its independent verification work.Anyone can learn open source investigation through Bellingcat's free resources • , Discord community of 40,000 members, YouTube tutorials, and volunteer programs — 
proving that citizen journalism can hold powerful actors accountable. • And much more...

From balloon internet, drone delivery, and self-driving cars, Alphabet's X chief Astro Teller reveals how the company systematically chases the impossible!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1183

What We Discuss with Astro Teller:

Alphabet's X systematically approaches moonshots by requiring three elements • : a huge problem, a radical proposed solution, and breakthrough technology that gives a chance — not guarantee — of success.
Prototype cheaply and fast to test assumptions. • The agricultural robot started as bicycle wheels, PVC tubing, laptop, GoPro and duct tape — not expensive equipment.
Bring regulators into the process early as partners rather than waiting until the end. • They become collaborators when included in the journey, not obstacles.
Detach identity from ideas. • People who tie self-worth to specific concepts struggle at X. Success comes from being great at filtering ideas, not being right about yours.
Ask yourself: "How fast and cheaply can I get evidence I'm wrong?" • Focus on rapid, inexpensive tests that provide real-world data about your assumptions.
 • And much more...
