goodtaste for the Soul

Have you ever stopped to think about what toxins you're exposed to every day—and what it might be doing to your brain?

Most of us don't think twice about the air we breathe, the chemicals used on our lawns or crops, or the environmental toxins we encounter throughout our lives. But what if those everyday exposures are having a bigger impact on our brain health than we realize, especially for people in states like Texas?

Researchers are taking a closer look at why neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease are becoming more common and appearing in younger adults. 

Could a slight tremor, changes in your handwriting, a diminished sense of smell, or even problems sleeping be your body's way of signaling that something isn't quite right? Knowing what to watch for could make all the difference.

The good news is there's never been more hope. New diagnostic tools and groundbreaking treatments—including Deep Brain Stimulation and focused ultrasound—are helping people live fuller, more active lives, and many of those advances are happening in San Antonio at the new Center for Brain Health at UT Health San Antonio.

Today, we're joined by Dr. Okeanis Vaou to separate fact from fear and to explain the symptoms you should never ignore. Whether you're thinking about your own health, your parents, or your children, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Some people can read a room. Today's guest can read the people in it.

Jan Hargrave has spent decades teaching everyone from Fortune 500 executives and law enforcement professionals to television personalities how to understand the messages we send without saying a single word. She's one of the country's leading experts in body language and nonverbal communication, and after today's conversation, you'll probably never watch a conversation—or have one—the same way again.

But before Jan became an internationally recognized behavioral authority, she was a proud Cajun girl from the bayous of South Louisiana, where family, storytelling, and paying attention to people weren't just traditions—they were a way of life. 

Today, find out what our faces, hands, posture, and expressions reveal, why first impressions matter more than we realize, how to spot confidence, deception, and authenticity, and how becoming more aware of body language can transform our relationships, our careers, and even our faith.

So settle in for a fascinating conversation with body language expert Jan Hargrave. I think you'll leave seeing people—and maybe even yourself—a little differently.

A year after the historic flooding that forever changed the Guadalupe River and parts of the Texas Hill Country, the signs of recovery are impossible to miss.

The floodwaters are said to have swept away more than half of the natural vegetation along portions of the river in Kerr County, dramatically reshaping the landscape. But nature has a remarkable way of bouncing back. Fresh growth is appearing where devastation once stood, and in many ways, an entirely new river is beginning to emerge.

In this episode, we sit down with an environmental expert who has spent decades restoring and protecting natural landscapes. He’s now working with landowners in the region to help restore what was lost.  He shares what he's learned from the Guadalupe's recovery, why he believes the river's future is bright, and what this rebirth can teach all of us about resilience, restoration, and hope.

There’s so much more to the story of Officer Antonio Richardson, the Florida police officer who spent nearly 40 minutes on a bridge talking a man out of taking his own life. It's an extraordinary encounter, and the bodycam footage from that night is nothing short of riveting.

But there's so much more to the story.

What I didn't expect was to discover Officer Richardson's own remarkable journey—a life shaped by faith, perseverance, purpose, and the extraordinary ways God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary moments.

On this episode of Goodtaste for the Soul, you'll witness the tense moments that saved a life, but you'll also discover the story behind the man God placed on that bridge. It's a powerful reminder that we never know how our own experiences, struggles, and acts of faith may one day become exactly what someone else needs.

You'll celebrate the life that was saved, but perhaps even more, you'll see the beautiful way God orchestrated one man's life to be exactly where he was needed to save another.
