242. What if joy isn’t just a feeling, but your body’s most underrated anti-inflammatory? Tune in this week as I explore how joy, from everyday pleasures to extraordinary moments, can calm your nervous system, lower stress hormones, and support your body’s natural resilience. From laughter with friends to a moment of morning light, joy has the power to shift us from sympathetic fight-or-flight into parasympathetic rest, digest, and repair. You’ll learn a bit of the science behind joy’s anti-inflammatory effects, discover practical ways to invite more of it into your daily life, that invite you to prioritize joy as part of your healing and overall wellbeing.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
